able. Mr.. McCammon, who Is work
ing on E. s. Mitchells residence, states
that that flash of lightning struck
his wife, who had left him only a few
moments before. When Mr. Mccain
mon reached his wife's side she was
dazed, and her right arm for time
was paralyzed. 1t was certainly a
narrow escape and Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Cannon are to be congratulated, as
lightning does not often touch a per-

was in Oroville over Sunday, on one
of his frequent trips through the coun-
! ty. Mr.. Humphrey has placed a null
titude of gasoline pumps in the ter
ritory over which he has jurisdiction,
and reports that the demand for
pumps is steadily increasing, a testi-
monial to the efficiency of that means
of lifting and distributing water for
irrigation and other purposes.
Geese have been flying south during
the week. Usually this southern mi
grafton of honkerS is considered by
weather sharps as indicative of the ap-
proach of cold weather, yet the first
OF August is pretty early in the sea-
son for any sudden change of tenn
perature, and there is no evidence of
frost up to date. 1t is possible that
the wise old ganders have been read
ing the compass wrong, and got
switched off in the wrong direction.
The wife of Harley Lashing left
Monday for Colville with her young
infant for the purpose of consulting
physicians. The little one is only a
few months old, and has been serious
ly Ill for some time. Physicians here
had given her up. The babe Is the
first in the family, and the heart sore
parents will try every means to save
its life, and earnestly do the friends
of the parents trust that they may
find some means of restoring the child
to health.
A. Adams, Of Juliaetta, Idaho, was a
visitor in OrOville over Sunday. Mr..
Adams is sturdy westerner, and one
of the prosperous farmers of northern
Idaho. He came into the Okanogan
country for the purpose of spying out
the land and securing piece thereof,
either by location or the purchase of a
REIMBURSEMENT, for a son. A most
pleasant gentleman to meet is Mr..
Adams, and it would be good thing
for the country if such a man could
become permanent resident of this
locality, or at least become interested
in the country.
A stranger was in Oroville Wednes-
day looking over the field with the
object of starting creamery. After
visiting the local creamery he changed
his mind. He declared that Oroville
was so we'll provided for in that re-
spect that it did not need another
creamery at the present time, and If
any one was laboring under the de-
fusion that an opposition creamery

could be started and made to stick he
was candidate for the silly house.
He had no hesitancy in saying that
the Oroville creamery was second to
none in the state as to capable manner
of management and operation, and
for the high quality of the goods it
places on the market. Praise coming
| from such a quarter would cause
about any other man than Mr.. Friis
the proprietor, to order his hats two
sizes larger than he has been accus-
toned to wearing.
Chas. S. Kile and Miss Eva Gilmour,
daughter of those pioneer residents of
this place, Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Gilmour,
were united in marriage Saturday at
the M. e. parsonage, Rev. R. T. Hol-
land officiating. The marriage was
quite an exclusive and quiet affair,
| only one other besides the contract
| ing young people being present. Mr..
kile gave supper to party of un-
suspecting friends Saturday evening,
when one of the guests, who had by
some means received a tip, let the cat
out of the bag, and boisterous and
hearty congratulations followed. May
the momentous step taken by these
excellent young people prove to be a
fortunate and happy one.
A correspondent at Conconully
writes that last Wednesday ~ E. Whit
worth, cashier of the bank and presi-
dent of the local creamery company
and Howard Crum, a young man 10
years of age, manager of the cream
cry, locked horns at a meeting of the
directors of that institution one day
last week and Crum developed into
white mans hope. 1t took the COM
bined efforts of the directorate to pry
Crum off his antagonist. The incip-
lent revolution has been pacifically
adjusted without the necessity of the
Intervention of Grape Juice Bryan and
Pedagogue Wilson, and the dove of
peace again hovers over the county
seat.
The artists recital at the Orpheum
last Friday evening was not as largely
attended as the excellency of the musi-
Gale merited. However, weather con-
ditions more largely responsible for
the light attendance than any lack OF
appreciation of good music on the part
of the public. The evening was eX-
cessively hot, and those who did turn
out are entitled to no little credit for
submitting themselves almost to a
steam bath. The numbers rendered
upon Mrs. Hoskyn's superb victro.a
were of classic order, probably in
most instances a trifle to classic for
many in the audience to fully ap
preciate, judging from the chatter that
was kept up during the rendition. The
money received from the entertain
ment will be devoted to purchasing
new books for the library.

DISMISSED FOR
KICKING CRIPPLE
Policeman flaming Put Off the
Force for Cruelty to
Manned Boy.

Upon his conviction of brutality to
a crippled child Patrolman Charles
]. Tanning. of the Fifth precinct,
was dismissed from the force by the
Board of Police Commissioners yes
terday afternoon. At the same ses-
sion he was also convicted of two
| other charges, making in all about
a dozen convictions during the year
that he has been connected with the
department.
The brutality charge against Fan
ming was called at the last meeting,
but the father of Michael Gaudioso,
! 70. of 1876 Blocker street, requested
that the charge be dismissed and
said that his son had not told the
| truth. President Bladder questioned
the father as to whether or not any
one had requested him to withdraw
the complaint. and not satisfied with
the reply had the boy summoned be-
fore the board.
The youth, whose right leg has
been amputated just below the hip
Joint, was sworn and asked to tell
whether or not the policeman had
kicked him. He replied:
ct was playing with some other
bows and we were sitting on his
(pointing to Fanning) stoop when he
came down the street. The other
fellows ran, but I could not get
away fast enough and he cursed me
and kicked me"
He was asked by Mr.. Baader,
Where did he kick your"
ION my sore leg, 80 replied the boy,
pointing to the stump of his right leg.
Mr.. Bladder then asked the boy if
the policeman was drunk If he stag
gered. and if he kicked him inten-
tionally. To each of these questions
the boy replied in the affirmative.
The father corroborated his child's
testimony as being the same related
to him when the lad came home
crying.
Tanning. in his own defense,
laughed at the charge and denied
every accusation, adding that the
bow was a liar.
Mr.. Bladder then asked Michael
about what the policeman said and
received the answer: That's wrong.
everything he said He told me
afterwards that if I would not come
down here he would give me IS and
all the baseballs and gloves
wanted" In this he was also cor
roborated by the father.
Tanning had no further statement
to make and the board went into
executive session. where they also
considered the charges of being alb
sent from drill without leave, and
for being fifty minutes late in send
ing in a duty call. He was found
guilty on all charges and dismissed.
