George Gardner Twice Assaulted
With Evident Murderous Purpose
' One of tho most dastardly attempts
to commit a serious if not fatal in
jury on one of the residents of this
valley, was carried out last Saturday
night, relates the North Powder
News.
Geo. Gardner, who had been sit
ting on the porch at his father's house
some eleven miles west of town start
ed to the kitchen for a drink of water
and when he came to the pantry door
t he noticed two parties in the shadow
and before he could make an outcry
one of them struck him on the head
with a- club or some other blunt in
strument rendering him unconscious.
After some time had passed he re
gained consciousness and found that
he was gagged and bound to a chair
but managed to make his way to his
brother Paul's house some forty
yards away. The blow was undoub
tedly delivered with the intent to
permanently injure him if not to take
his life, but owing to the darkness
only resulted in a badly lacerated
head.' Diligent search was made but
no clue as to the perpetrators has
yet been found. ,
On Monday night, July 31st an
other attempt was made on the young
man's life. While on his way from
the barn on his father's ranch he was
struck on the head by a bludgeon
or blunt instrument in the hands of j
an unknown party and knocked un
conscious. Not returning as soon as
expected, his brother Paul accompa
nied by W. W. May started out to
look for him and found mm with a
had scalp wound and unconscious. He
was brought to town where his
wounds were dressed. No cause is
assigned for these dastardly acts and
no clue as to the miscreants who
perpetrated them.

Structure.
Fire Proof
D. Sommer pioneer capitalist and
business man will erect a new brick
structure on the lot betwenn the Ho
tel Sommer building and Zweifers
new building on Front street. Mr,
Sommer has had the improvement un
der contemplation for some time but
not until a few days ago did he ar
rive at a final decision, says the Re.
eorder. Tho lot was formerly occu
pied by the City Cigar store building,
wlhich was destroyed by hre several
months ago. - The new building will
cover all the available ground, which
is 25x75 feet. Mr. Sommer owns a
half, interest in the north wall of the
Zweifel building, which will eliminate
much of the construction work. The
new structure will be completed at an
early date and will be strictly modern
with the latest up-to-date front. Ma
terial for the building is now being
delivered and construction work will
soon be under way. G. Bekker, local
builder will have charge of the actual
construction and all work will bo per
formed by local craftsmen.
The Sommer structure is the third
new building to be started in Elgin
this season.
building will be completed by the fore
part of next week. The ceiling has
been finished, the floor laid, and about
all tihat remains to be done is to com
plete the front. The work . is suf
ficiently near completion to give a I
good idea of the interior appearance,!
which is pleasing. j
Work on the fire-proof 30x100 foot t
addition to the G. M. & S. Co. store
is going on in a satisfactory manner, j
ine concrete lounaation nas Deen
completed by Larson & Patten and
the north wall of the structure is now
under course of construction. Pete
Bosquet, well known contractor and
builder of Island City, is supervising
the construction work on this new
building. The work of tearing out the
front of the present building will be
commenced at an early date and the
same made. to conform with the front!
of the new structure, and which will
be the last in modern fronts. The
present building is also undergoing
various other improvements in the
way of sewer connections. A concrete
floor is also being laid in the base
ment. Work was begun Monday on the
superstructure of S. E. Harris' new
bungalow, with Contractor Jack Gib
son in charge and a sufficient number
of carpenters will be added to the
force the first of next week to com
plete the home at an early date.
Elgin is enjoying an excellent sea
son, especially as regards new busi
ness structures. Tn all probabilities
more new buildings will be erected
