Last Sunday evening Ernest Russell
brought the report from Wilboit that an
insane man had appeared in that neigh
borhood who was possesed of the idea
that he was being followed by blood
hounds and men. His intention was to
go to Eastern Oregon, across the
mountain, so as to throw them off his
track. The man gave his name as
Watkins and was of Welch decent and
was crippled in one hand and atm. He
said that k.e had once been an inmate of
an insane asylum. He was armed only
with an axe. The facts of the case were
told to Sheriff Shaver at Oregon City,
Sheriff Shaver telephoned back to the
citizens for them to capture the man
and bring him in, but it seems that the
people of that neighborhood did not
care to take the responsibility of arrest
ing nim and he was allowed to escape.
Since the above item has come in
Watkins turned up in Wilhoit and was
arrested by George Groshong and E.
Russell and lodged in the county jail.
Watkins showed fight and attacked
the men with an axe. During the
melee Rusdell drew bis revolver and
fired a shot which took effect in the arm
of Watkins making a flesh injure. He

of Peace, Levi Stipp, Wednesday mim

Mrs. A. M. Weaver, of 115 N. A. St..
Oripple Creek, Colorado, whose husband
is superintendent of U. r. u. K. uuar
ries. savs "Doan's Kidney Pills are a
remedy In which I have great confidence
and I heartily re-endorse what I have
before stated about, them to our Unpple
Creek papers. Some three years ago I
gave them to our little girl who was
troubled with a weakness of the kidneys,
A few doses checked the annoyance and
in a short time after a continuation of
the treatment cured her. She has had
vjry little trouble since, with the ex
ception of when she caught a severe
cold ; then there were sympton of a re
currence, but a few doses of the pills
never fail to ward off an attack. I
recommended them to lady friend of
mine sometime ago who used them and
was also benefited. I keep them con
stantly in the house so as to have them
on hand in case of recurrences. I do
not hesitate to advise any mother to use
them in her family where necessity de
mands. For tale bv all dealers. Price
