A Itow. Ou Tuesday- of this week
a row occurred at this place between
JiilJy Stewart of Cornelius and the
stage driver, Billy Corbett. Stewart
ot into the stage bound for Port
land, w hen the driver demanded the
fare. Stewart .claimed that the dri
ver cwed him. The driver after
some Word ordered Stewart out of
the stage and the latter refusing the
driver jumped up into the stage in
front and pushed a cocked pistol in
to his face. Then Stewart got out
pulled off his coat and- said he could
whip the driver. Thon Corbett
jumped out and went around to the
other side of the t-lage where thev
met and Corbett drew his pistol on
him again. Here they parleyed
awhile when Stewart attempted to
get into the stage and the driver told
him if he did he would shoot him
Other pirties interfered and took
.Stewart away. Both men had been
drinking.

iToo Bad- A little after daylight
on tne morning oi the loin, two
dogs got after sheep of Mr. Ira Pur-
din who lives about two miles north
of Forest Grove and destroyed
about twenty-five of them. One of
the dogs was evidently an old sinner
as he would bite the neck of a sheep
and hold on until he had sucked all
the blood out of it and then put out
after another. 1. C. "Walker was
the first to discover them as he was
going to school lunch basket in hand
He made some of the best time on
record on Uncle Ira's stubble and as
he got near uttered such an unearth
ly yell that the dogs concluded to
leave. One of the dogs was recog
nized and killed by Mr. Pardin at
the request of the owner. The oth
er, tho old sinner, is still at large.

assailed the perfumists with malice

and did there and then shoot and
kill said two perfumists. And since
said killing Messrs. Tongue and Pit
tinger have been deodorizing,
But the sceut of the skunks will hang round

it was answered by his companion
who emerged from the brush.
