Fitzgerald and Charles Wiggles indulged in a lively dispute over who owned the largest sunflower. After a burlesque b.Utle of words, it was de cided that both specimens should be measured by an uninterested party. When the stake had been properly posted and due measurements taken, the judges de' dared Fitzgerale the winner. The sun flower growing in his yard measures 1 7 inches in diameter against that of Mr. Wiggles' which had a diameter of 13 inches. However, both are monsters and should draw a prize at the coming county fair.

C. TROUBLES ENDED Mrs. N. B. Kane, of Baker City, whose husband seven years ago killed her baby, and tried to kill her, d.ed yesterday in the Good Samaritan hospital, at Portland, a raving maniac. She brooded over the tragedy, and it complete'y underminded her reason. A NARROW ESCAPE Tnis morning the fire department was called out to quell a fire in tne barn of P. J. Thieson. The barn is located directly in the rear of of J. H. Steven's soda pop factory and for some time it seemed im possible to save Steven's property. When Mrs. Thieson went to the barn this morning she discovered the fire and quickly notified the neighbors who turned in an alarm. Even after the hose com pany had strung the hose, thy were de layed in getting water due to an over thought. When the water was at last turned on, it was seen that further loss could be avoided. In anticipation of a fire in ths soda pop factory, Mr. Stevens with the assistance of neighbors, carried much of the stock and gas tanks to the street. While a fire did start on the roof, it was ftopped without damage to the factory itself. An industrious stream from a garden hose saved the Thieson residence until the de partment arrived. The barn was destroyed. However, there was a small insurance which will partially cover the loss. It seems very probable that the fire originated from a tramp's carelessness. The fire started in the loft of the barn and the blaze can be explained in no other way than as being caused by a tramp, who after having slept there during the night, had lighted a pipe and carelessly ignited the hay. NEWELL M'GILL Married, last evening at the home of S. P. Gates. Mr. Floyd Newell to Miss Char lotte McGill. Justice John E.
