Lawrence Cartwright turned to his brother's wife and ask ed: "Are. you going berrying with us?,'?. "No," Bhe answered; "certainly not after the way you have acted this morning.!' "All right," said Cartwright and as he spoke drew his gun and fired two shots at the woman, killing her in stantly. Powell was. his next intended victim and as he fired at him the let ter ran into a woodshed, his pursuer emptying his gun at him. Cornering Powell in the shed, as he was reload ing, the former begged Cartwright not to shoot, but he replied, "I came to kill you and I'm going to do it." Powell then find and as he ran several more shots were fired by his assailant. He reached his horse and got away to the Richard Cartwright' ranch. Lawrence aCrtwright then went out to the road, and blew his own brains out. Powell is now in the hospital at Huntington, his parents being with him, and it is believed that his chanc es for recovery are slinght, although this afternoon he was holding his own, according to report from the hospital. Freewater-Milton. Fruit News. Freewater, Ore., Aug. 15. Prune picking has commenced and will be in full swing the latter part of the week. There will be only a half crop, com pared with last year's crop. The prices will range from $30 to $35 per ton. About 150 pickers, mostly women and children, will be empfoyed in the pack ing houses, and half that number will be employed in the prune orchard of W. N. Hurst, who markets his own fruit. The pear crop will also be short, Bartlett pears which are shipped green will sell at $1.75 per iate. Canta loupes and watermelons have been on the market for about two weeks andj have been selling at $3 per crate. They will be shipped out in carload lots at the close of the week. Peaches are plentiful but the big picking will not be until the end of next week, and no quotations" have as-yet been given out. - " :.' .' Phones to Connect Four Forests. Bend, Ore., Aug. 15.

Year by year as the country develops false ideas re garding the. agricultural possibilities of central Oregon are being exploded. It has often been declared that to matoes cannot be grown here on' ac count'of" the altitude. That this is er roneous is proved by a rancher, M. G. Coe, who has a fine crop on his place here this summer and is deriving a big profit by the sale of them on the local market, , - i- NOTICE OF PROPOSED STREET . ' IMPROVEMENT. $1800 00 $100 Cash.
