go up against him in a debate. All
the ministers, IS they came and
went, were afraid of him, this ap-
plying to the whole of Grande Ronde
valley, which comprises several
pretty good chunks of towns, one of
them being La Grande. The preach
ers could not be trapped into a de.
bate with Norval. .s.-4-~Ass
A Canadian-born lawyer named
Mccullough practiced his profession
off and on in Summerville for more
than twenty years. When he was
not practicing law he was doing
something else, for there was not
enough litigation in Summerville for
half a lawyer. In that respect it was
about like Cherry Creek or Preston
are now.
During one of those famines in
litigation at Summerville McCul-
Tough was running a logging and
lumber business back in the canyons
near old Shutdown and there entered
his employ a half-witted young fell
wv ~ oCol Oe Hdulcu uI1u
described as Mr.. Nobody from No
where.
Mccullough was somewhat of a
practical joker, SO after a few days
of observation of the intellectual
limitations of his employee he told
him about Mr.. Norval: that he was
an infdel and the preachers wore
afraid of him. 1t was explained that
the employe was the only Christian
N sight around there who could hold
his W in a debate with Norval. The
halfwit readily agreed to the prop
osition.
The lawyer met Norval in Sum
merville and said he had a young
man working for him who wished to
debate the question, Resolved, that
the birth of Christ was not Of mi
r%aculous conception" Mr.. Noryal
was told that he would have forty
minutes to open, being in the az
frmative, the challenger to have
forty minutes to reply, and each
would have fifteen minutes to close.
I'll debate with him; I'll debate
with him." said Mr.. Norval in his
quick-spoken way.
The day came and Norval paced
the streets, hoping to be presented
to his mysterious opponent, but Mr..
Mccullough had hid him out and
was careful to see that that Should
not happen. A coat, shirt and COL
lar had been bought for the young
lumberjack and a hall rented for
81, The hall was packed and jam
med. but it would not have done for
anybody to have been tipped of.
Mr.. Norval, with his rapid manner
of speech, led off like fury for full
forty minutes and had to be stoned
by the chairman, as otherwise he
would have gone on for hours.
The lumberjack got up, stammer-
ed, scraped the floor a few tines,
said a few words that did not take
three minutes. What he said was
merely a sort of combination Of the
Doxology and n Denediction, both
done in prose. He was done then
and he had sense enough to know it
and he also had sense enough to sit
down, and that he did also.
Then Norval at last tumbled. Like
a bullet out of the door he went and
he neve stopped until he reached
his ranch, two or three miles away.
Mr.. Norval would not speak to the
attorney for seven months after that.

Dad Wade was a pioneer living
near Summerville. He owned a stall
lion, which vas kept by a groom.
Early in summer the groom reported
to Mccullough that Dad would not
pay him a balance of $50 that he
owed. Mccullough wrote q couple
of letters to the old gentleman de-
handing the money and goi no re-
ply. At last he met Mr.. Wade on
the street and said:

To this the pioneer agreed. In

drawn up by the attorney. Each

attorney invited the old gentleman
to name the first one, buS he was
polite and refused. After a protest

DR.. Brick was sixty-three years
old. For the last two years he had
been failing in health. He lost
weight, but refused to give up his
investigation of the dread malady.
Up until last April he continued his
classes at jefferson Hospital.
He was operated on last Septem-

suffered from cancer. Carcinoma
is the technical name said DR.. Allen.
But up until recently he practiced
in Philadelphia, though his home for
the past seven years had been at
Ventnor, n. j.
For twenty-five years he sought
sure cure for cancer. He became in
ternationally known for his research
work. Glasses, office and laboratory
work. with very little rest, consti-
tuted his daily program until at last
he succumbed.
DR.. Brick for time was active in
the Pennsylvania National Guard and
later was graduated from the Jeffer-

chief of the Physiological Depart

DR.. Brick is survived by his wife.

found that the occupants had been

Court on charges of being drunk
The court dismissed the case.
II was disclosed that the third man
seen about the neighborhood last
night was another son of the lumber
dealer. Patrick Waters told the
court his brother does not drink and
the only explanation he could give
for his leaving them was that he
had become disgusted with his and
the fathers drinking.
The police said that when placed
under arrest Patrick was loud and
talkative, but the father more
subdued The elder Waters was
also taken TO the station.
Patrick said they were on their
