Quite a number of new people

Some are strangers and. some have
lived here before and have come
back and bought ranches. Lincoln

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.

difference between a cow that will

to eight dollars a month in butter
fat.

Fatal Bear Hunt.
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.

hens Episcopal church, at 2 o'clock

IT
AVERTED AWFUL TRAGEDY.
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.
