Dr. Hoard at that moment picked up a Winchester rifle belonging to a fanner and it was discharged with the deadly effect noted. There are two reports about the killing, one that the gun was accidentally disch irged, and one that the aim was deliberate, although the dead man and the doctor had never met within the knowledge of anyone present, and noth ing short of insanity could give semblance ot truth to the latter theory. Tlie Buena Vieta Poitory Works. The pottery works at Busna Vista have discovered a new process whereby the jars and pots have a polish that far excels that which is imported from other states, and sells from 8 to 12 cents less. Oregon dealers are still handling the eastern ware when our own goads are belter and cheaper. The only reason for this is that the ret lilers would sooner send their money iwit of the state, or that the superiority of Vista ware is not advertised and the busi ness drummed up.
