L. II. Weaver, sheriff of Wayne
county, Illinois, was in Princvillc
over Sunday. Mr. Weaver came
after O. A. Myers who was arrested
in Bend by Sheriff Knox on a
charge of forgery forwarded here
from his former Illinois home.
Following the arrest of Myers,
every effort was made to obtain his
freedom by his attorneys, Wallace
and Forbes. The wires were kept hot
between our sheriff's office and Mr.
Weaver en route, with tho result
that Mr. Weaver arrived in the
governor's office in Salem in the
nick of time to prevent an order
tw.inir iHsucd freeing Myers. In
stead of such an order, Governor j
Withycombe signed extradition
papers for Mr. Weaver for Myers. ;
Mr. Weaver, Sheriff Knox andj
District Attorney Wirtz, whose j
combined efforts made the arrest J
of Myers and his successful start
to Illinois possible, feel that they!
have done a good piece of work
and all who are acquainted with
the facts In the case think so too.
Mr. Weaver will have traveled
nearly GOOO miles before he returns
to his home town.
Myers forged papers for some
11500 and had eluded the officers
for many months. He was located
by Sheriff Knox working in a Bend
saloon. He has a wife and child in
life - I :

Farmer Loses Eighty-
Four Hogs from Rabies
The following from the Lakeview
Examiner will give our readers
something of an idea as to the
troubles our neighbors to the south
of us are having with rabies.
Numerous cases are reported in
the country press throughout the
state every week but this is one of
tho most unusual:
Noland Currey, who resides near
Andrews in the Stein's Mountain
country, writes to his parents in
Lakeview regarding his experience
with the rabies, which is now pre
vailing throughout the whole of
Eastern Oregon. Mr. Currey had
a hog bitten by a coyote, which he
presumed was afilicted with the
dread disease. His curiosity over
camo his good judgment, and as a
consequence he placed tho hog in a
pen to await the outcome of the
wound indicted by tho coyote.
Whon the proper time arrived the
hog bccame"mad" all right enough,
and it took it but a short time to
wreck the pen and escape. On es
caping he made a rush through a
largo bunch of hogs, biting a num
ber of them, with tho result that
84 died soon after. The loss is
keenly felt by Mr. Currey, and he
has no further desire to further
investigate results on hogs bitten
by a coyote.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
PRINEVILLE. OREGON
H. PATTON HALL, Minister
The Ideal Church Member
He understands that church membership means supreme loyalty
to the Lord Jesus Christ. He reads his Bible to keep in touch with
God and his denominational paper to keep in touch with the world's
best thoughts and greatest need.
He is loyal to his pastor, prays daily for his success, has the ut
most regard for his feelings and makes it his business to see that his
salary is paid promptly and liberally.
He walketh not in the council of the growlers nor standeth in the
way with the kickers, nor sitteth in the council of the plotters against
the pastor's peace and usefulness. He finds more joy and happiness
in the mid-week Prayer Meetings of his church than club or lodge.
In his church he is always ready to carry his share of the burden
cherrfully, humbly and patiently. There are such, a very few; may
their shadows never grow less. Are you an ideal church member?
If every member of this church were just like me, what kind of a
church would this church be?

HI, THERE, YOU DERNED LITTLE RASCAL!"

)
Beginning Monday evening next
and continuing for three days,
Prineville will be host to the most
important meeting yet to be held
here.
The Cattle and Horsemen's As
sociation, whose membership is
statewide, represents the most im
portant industry in the state. It
I is especially fitting that Prineville,
surrounded as it is with the stock
interests and indebted to these in
terests for its very growth and ex
istence, should seize this opportun
ity to entertain the delegates to
this meeting in a royal manner.
This they have planned to do. In
just what order the various events
will be pulled off the committee on
entertainment will decile later.
Tuesday morning there will be a
meeting of the delegates and the
organization will be perfected. Be
sides the regular business which
will be taken up during the day
meetings, a lecture will be given by
the state health officer, Calvin S.
White, who will discuss the symp
toms of rabies and the manner in
which our citizens should prepare
to stamp out ' this disease. This
lecture alone will be worth much to
the people of this part of the state.
Dr. Sims of O. A. C. will de
liver a lecture also, dealing more
with the disease in relation to the
livestock industry. Professor Potter
will give an illustrated lecture
covering many of the matters con
cerning growing and fattening beef
for the market. This lecture will
be illustrated and will be given at
4:30 Wednesday at the Lyric.
Tuesday noon there will be a
dinner served for the stockmen by
the ladies of the Methodist church.
This will be "repeated in the evening
at 5 and following this event, the
ladies of the Annex will give a
reception at the Annex parlors in
honor of the stockmen.
Wednesday evening the wives of
the local stockmen will give a
banquet for the delegates J. N.
Williamson will act as toastmaster
at this function.
All stockmen in this part of the
state are urged to attend the con
vention, and plans are being made
for a record attendance.
Considering the business meet
ings, the important lectures, and
the social and entertainment fea
tures of the meeting, it seems that
no one can afford to stay away.
