A TRAVELING MAN'S
EXPERIENCE.
"I must tell you my experience on
fln East bound O. R. & N. train from
rendletou to LaGrande, Ore,, writes
tfuni A. Oarber, a well known traveling
man, "I was in the smoking depart
ment with konie other traveling men
when one of them wont out into tne
c ouch and said, 'There is a woman sick
nnto death in the car, I at onoe got
no and went put, found her very ill
with cramp colic, her hands and arms
were drawn up so you could not
ftriughteti them, and with a death like
look on hr face- Two or three ladies
were working wlih her and giving her
whiskey , 1 went to my suit case and
got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colio,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never
travel without it), run- to the water
tank, put a double dose of the medicine
in the glass, poured some water into It
and stirred it with a peuoil; then I hud
quite a time to get the ladies to let me
give It to her, but I succeeded. I oould
at once see the effect and I worked
with her, rubbing her hands, atid in
twenty minutoi I gave her another dose.
By this time we were almost Into La
Grande, where I was to leave the train.
I gave the bottle to tbe husband to be
used in case another dose should be
needed, but by the time the train run

Important Messages Delayed.
All this week the telegraph and
telephone lines from Newport have
Ikhmi interrupted, presumably by
the transmogrification of the aerial
electrical current caused by the con
junction of the comet seen by the
Newjiort correspondent of the As
s:ciated Press last week, with a
fluid extract of Shaws Malt from
the old K-C drug store at that place.
The up-to-date telegrophonical
correspondent of the Leader, strict
ly onto his job to gather the news,
caught these messages as thev were
wandering around through' void and
blankness, and put . them on cold
Htorage in George Hall's near-beer
dugout and saved them nice and
fresh until we could present them
nico and fresh to our readers. We
herewith present such of them as
we have space for:
Newport, Or., Sept. 6. (Special
to Ass. Press) This is Sunday at
Newport. Your correspondent
looked in the almanac and asked
Pete Ablxy and Major Hopkins if
it was not Sunday this morning,
and these two gentlemen expressing
some doubt they in company with
your corresjxmdent inspected the
front doors of the booze forts and
found them locked. Yes, it is Sun
day in Newport.
message two i
Newport, Or., Sept. 7. (Special
to Ass. Press.) The man who seen
the comet at Newport in the middle
of the day last week was brought to
town and examined by' a board of
physicians consisting of Simon
Lendten, Fred Olsson and Charles
Winant. It was found that upon
close examination the. man wore
one glass eye and was cross-eyed in
the other, and his good eye caught
the reflection from the sun off the
glass in the other eye, which reflec
tion he naturally mistook for a
comet. In fact since Newport went
wet several of her good citizens have
been able to see comets in the mid
dle of the day.
message three
Newport, Or., Sept. 7. (Special
to Any old Press. ) The applications
for enrollment in the high schixil
at Newport still continue to roll in.
Prominent among tlie pupils from
Kemville who are expected to at
tend are Jimmie Robertson, Joe
Sijota and Johnny Lloyd.. From
Laid Mountain, Willie Smith ex
pects to come for a business course,
and others " are also expected.
While among the young ladies from
over the county1 who are expected
to attend are Cory Smith of Wald
port, and Ix)u Fuller of Siletz.
message four
Newport, Or.; Sept. 8. (To the
Associated Hay Press. ) The narrow
escape of the heliograph man on
Table Mountain from cougars as
told by your correspondent in a
special dispatch last week, was far
excelled by a blood curdling affair
in the north part of the county this
week. Lorn Stratton, a stalwart
homesteader who is holding down a
homestead on Euchre Mountain was
attacked one day last week by a
desperate and hungry horde of
mountain Ixiomers. Mr. Stratton
had just' killed a fine deer the clay
before and had it hanging in his
woodshed. Just at noon while he
was eating his dinner of sour dongh
biscuits, known as "sinkers," and
sow belly, ho heard a deep, fierce
growling in the edge of the clearing
near his cabin. With every hair
standing on end Stratton grabbed
his trusty rifle and started for the
door. Imagine his horror to see
not loss than 49 count 'em 49,
fierce mountain boomers, not squat
tors, coming from all directions in
the forest toward his cabin and
smokehouse, ' One glance convinced
Stratton that he could not repulse
them' in the . open and ho hastily
entered the house and barricaded
the doors and windows . Fortunately
the fierce and hungry Ixiomers
Htopped long enough to devour the

deer hanging iu the woodshed, and
also the pile of stove wood Mr.
Stratton had cut, or he could never
have had time to barricade the
house. The horrid crunching of
bones of the deer and the stovewood
came to his ears as he propped the
door shut with his bootjack and
stuffed his overalls in the window
rendering entrance impossible from
that source. All to soon the deer
and stovewood was devoured and
the boomers made a fierce onslaught
on the house. From loopholes in
the wall Stratton fired shot after
shot from his rifie until his cart
ridges were exhausted. He then
took his muzzle loading shotgun
and fired buckshot into the awful
horde, but the attack did not cease.
With despair tugging at his heart
Stratton poured the last of his shot
into his gun and fired at the old
gray boomer, the leader of the band.
The shot rattled harmlessly on the
tough hide of the boomer, but the
only effect was that it seemed to
enrage him more. Unless this old
boomer . could be killed or crippled
Stratton knew his life was forfeited.
He had plenty of powder but no
shot. Ilis days seemed numbered.
A gleam of hope! Hastily pouring
a charge of powder into both bar
rels of his gun and putting a copy
of the Newport Mail on top of each
charge as wads, he crowded a sour
dough "sinker" into each barrel
and made for the loop hole. He
was none too soon. The boomers,
headed by their leader, were massed
for the final charge. With a prayer
on his lips Stratton aimed the gun
and pulled the triggers. . A deafen
ing roar was followed by two terriffic
explosions . and an awful howl of
anguish; and Stratton fainted.

When he came to about two hours
afterward Jie was lying on his bunk
and one of his neighlxjrs was pour
ing water and things down his
throat. When able to walk Stratton
and his neighbor went outside and
viewed the awful slaughter. Where
the sour dough sinkers had ex
ploded there was a hole 1 1 feet deep
and the mangled remains of 48
count 'em 48 dead Ixiomers were
found nearby. But the old leader
boomer was not there, and with a
sinking heart the settlers returned
to the cabin and propped the door.
Aftei a restless night search was
again made and the old boomers'
corpse was found in Vhe limbs of a
fir tree 319 feet, 44 inches from the
ground. .Stratton upon returning
to the house and looking into the
glass was horrified to find that his
collar had turned white in a single
night. " ,
MESSAGE FIVE
Newport, Or., Sept. 8. (Special
to the Clothes Press. ) A most dele
cate surgical operation was per
formed by two of our local surgeons
this week that will no doubt attract
the attention of the medical fra
ternity at large. A prominent cit
izen of Newport has for years been
, troubled with a wart in a prominent
place. ' He wished the wart removed
but did not like to lose anything,
being a little "near." So he was
placed under anesthetics and the
surgeons removed the wart from its
regular place and grafted it onto the
back of the neck. The operation
was fully successful and after the
second day the citizen has been
using the wart for a collar button.
