acres, all in full bearing.

Harry Hunt met with most pain
full accident when he was attempting
to get the harness on his horse last
Saturday. A chicken which was in the
barn, flew up and lighted on his arm
just as he was about to put part of
the harness over the horses head. The
horse took fright, charged around in
such way that it pulled Mr.. Hunts
arm back, literally pulling the liga-
ments out of the socket. We are glad
to report that he is doing nicely at
this writing.

SO that they will have big appetite
for the good eats which will be served
at the Red Cross chicken pie supper
in the hall, Monday evening, March II.

will also sell two quilts during the
evening and are most anxious that a
large crowd will turn out as the treas
ury is in need of little more money

$270 to the county treasury last week
when he stopped band of sheep be-
longing to the Wexler Sheep Co. Of
Pasco and secured the tax for Benton
county just as the stock was being
driven over to the home grazing pas

rived in Richland Friday will
have charge of his sons orchard for
the coming season. Mrs. Holt will re-
main in Olympia, where she is taking
charge of her three motherless grand
children. We are shocked to learn
that little James Davis, one of the
small grandchildren who recently lost
his mother, died about two weeks ago.

times in Richland when his grandpar-
