' Quite a number of new people are settling in this neighborhood Some are strangers and. some have lived here before and have come back and bought ranches. Lincoln county looks good to them. Deer must be quite plentiful this year, judging from the number of hounds that are running in the hills. If a rancher kills a deer un lawfully there is a game warden af ter him. But a lot of hoodlums can run deer with dogs all through the season, even to does' and fawns, and there seems to be no way to stop it.( m C. H., Miller and Ole Olson each have 40 tons of hay in the barn to feed to their dairy cows this winter. mi . . ine range cow is getting scarcer every year. There is too much difference between a cow that will bring a ten or twelve dollar ,calf in a year, and one that will bring six to eight dollars a month in butter fat.

A tragic event, which saddened the whole community, was the ac cidental shooting and death of Fre3 erick .Young, the 17 year old san of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Young of this city, while on a bear hunt with his father Saturday night, the young man and his father1 went out to the Ellsworth place, two miles beyond the Monterey House, that evening to get a bear, as these animals have been reported unusually numerous in that locality thjs fall. Arriving j at the designated spot each climbed ', into a tree alongside the trail with j the hope that a bear wotild pass j along that way. The trees on which they were watching were j some distance apart and after some little time had elapsed Fred clam- bered down to join his father for the purpose of going home, and ap proaching the tree in which his father was stayin'g whistled re peatedly to warn him of his ap proach and as a signal that they would start home. The details of the accidental shooting will be found in the statement by Mr. Young printed below and which was given to Dr. F. M. Carter: "We were watching for the bear about three quarters of a mile from the Ellsworth place about 10 o'clock p. m.; Fred was in a tree and I was in another, the trees being about 150 yards apart; Fred came down from the tree and started towards the tree I was in; when he got about half way he whistled and whistled abain when about 60 feet away. This was the signal agreed upon between us for coming down and going home; I began climbing down, my right foot was on a limb above the letf one, and my gun was in my left hand and! I was hanging with my right hand; my right foot slipped and swung arond ; as I swung around the hammer of the gun must have struck a limb, exploding the cartridge, and the bullet struck the boy on the left side below the heart passing through the stomach and coming out at the left of the spine; the gun was a 30-30 Winchester. "I went to my boy, took him up and kissed him, saying, 'Oh, my God, I've shot my darling boy; I wish the bullet had struck mo in stead of him.' Fred said, 'Oh, no, papa, my time has come; I'm going to heaven.' 'Freddie, my God, if it hadn't been for me you wouldn't have been shot Freddie said, 'You have always been a good papa to me; I'm going to die; bid all the fan.ily good -bye mama and the children Clarence and Emma.' I said 'Do you pray?' Freddie 'Yes papa I always pray twice a day.' I said do you think you could walk?'- arid he said 'I'll try.' "We walked about 100 yards when Fred said, 'I can't go any farther.' I told him I must go and get a team and get him out of there. Fred said 'Don't leave me.' but later he Baid, 'You may go.' I took off both of my coats and wrapped them around him and ran all the way to the Monterey House distance of nearly two miles; I directed Frank Picrson to hurry up with the Wagon and Paul Chntterton telephoned for Dr. Minthorn; the Doctor met Freddie in the wagon on the trail on the other side of the Monterey House; Freddie lived two or three hours and died at the Monterey." Dr. Minthorn saw, after a brief exminaation, tht the wound was fatal, and did everything possible to quiet the pain and staunch the great flow of blood. lie was placed on a bed and hindage put around the body. During the two or three hours that lapsed ' between the shootinr anj' his death Fred re tained consciousness and was able to speak intelligently to the doctor: realized and seemed to be at all times resigned to the end which was so near at hand. The voung man was a general favorite among his acquaintances both young and old, was of a quiet and studiftus temperament, and while-he had strong convictions was j not obtrusive. He had much music- j al talent and was a valued member' of the Newport Band during the past Summer. He was agent here for the Portland Journal which work he carried 6n in addition sto I hrs school work. The funeral occured at St. Step hens Episcopal church, at 2 o'clock Tuesday aftsrnoon, Rev. F. O'. Jones oflicitating. The attendance was very large, particularly among the school companions of the de ceased, and the floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.Newport Signal. , Don't trifle with a cold is good advice for prudent men and women."

Timely advice given Mrs. C. Wil- oughby of Marengo, Wis., (R. No. 1) prevented a dreadful tragedy and save two lives. Doctors had said her frightful cough was a "con sumption" cough and could do little to help her. After many remedies failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr. Ring's New Discovery. "I have been using it for some time," she wrote "and the awful -cough has almost gone. It also save my little boy when taken wVh a severe bron chial trouble." This matchless medicine has no equal for throat and lung troubles. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaran teed by Toledo Drug Co. TO EXCHANGE.
