the homestead ranch of his son. w. L.
| Nichols, back of The Dalles, where he
rounded up and shot to death gigantic

A bad and near fatal accident befell
little Dan Pierson. the five year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. d. F. Pierson, on
Friday. The lad was playing on lum-
Der pile, from which he chanced to fall,
distance of eight or ten feet, landing
on heap of rocks in such way as to
break his jaw in two places and knock
out four of his front teeth. 1t was a
severe and very painful shock to the
child, but he is now getting along ia
vorably at the Cottage hospital, to

The Sunday school here is flourishing,
there being 70 pupils present last Sun

Harry Wolhart had thrilling en-
counter with rattlesnake on Friday
and came off second best. He was
hauling wood with four-horse team
near the Fosberg place. and while busy
in the bush was struck by the snake on
the forearm. He first did what proba-
bly, saved his life-namely, sucked the
wound as completely as he could, then
hurried home, swallowed a stimulant,
and hastened on to Hood River doc
tor, arriving there a decidedly sick
man. He is now well, for Henry is not
the sort of man to allow one serpent to
get away with him. We haven't ascer-
tanned the fate of the snake, nor its
length, breadth and thickness, as MIR.
W. didn't feel like sparing the time to
count the buttons or apply tape line.
