1 PORTLAND, Sept 25,The heavy
frost of the put three night com
ing as they did a month curlier than
the usuuf first from of the icoion,
huve undoubtedly, done a good deal
Of damage to noine crop in the Wil
lamette Valley, particularly to onion.
The extent of the hami'doris to the
onion crop is yet to be'determined,
but that it will prove scrlou iceins
to be the general opinion' of those in
terested. P. IWehcrs, one of the leading"
onion growers of the Sherwood dis
trict, was in the city today. , He ald:
' "The bulk of the crop In our dis
trict, and in others as well, had been
pulled and was t!U on ihi ground
when the frost came. A small pro
portion of the crop, perhaps 10 per
cent, had been housed, the remainder
being exposed. If the frosts of the
past few night had been light, and
had been followed by dark and
cloudy days, the chances are that no
great harm would have been done
but the chill was a really severe one
and the sun came out each day and
thawed the onions that had j been
froied."

RIALS FOR ANIMALS
Curious Custom That Prevailed
. In the Middle Ages.
PROSECUTED FOR HOMICiOE.
A Bull That Killed a Man Found
Guilty, Sentenced to Death and Exe
euted Fate of a Cock That Wa
Charotd With Having Laid an Egg.
Among the man curious customs of
the past U recorded a singular feature
of the JurlMjirudeuco of the middle
ugcM, when nnlmals were Indicted for
Injuries Inflicted upon uuuian beings,
The custom was not abolished to
I'm nee until lite middle of the eight
eenth wutiirr, ud the . French court
record show that at least ninety-two
trials took place between 1120 and
1741. ...
Tuoro Ih some Biblical precedent for
these proceedings, for In the twenty
llrst chapter of Exodui one finds, "If
an oi gore n man or woman that
they die, then the ox shall be itoued
and bl ttcsu suaU uot bo eaten."
An early Instance of tbo custom was
In 1314, when ft bull escaped from a
farmyard In a vlllugo In Frnce la the
duchy of Valols and gored a man to
death. The Count of Valol. bejug In
formed of w .case, directed that the
bull be captured and fprmally prose
cuted for iMinlcldo. Thl was done,
and evidence wns given by person
who bad swn the man attacked aud
killed. Tbo bull waa thereupon sen
tenced to suffer death, which waa In
flicted by strangulation, after which
the carcass was suspended from a
tree by the bind legs.
In 1330 a sow was executed In the
square of Faluise for baring caused
I he deuili of a child, aud tbr?a years
Inter a horse was condemned to death
st Dijon for baring killed a man. In
H57 ,i'ow and ber alx young one
were tried at Laregny on tbe charge
of having killed and purtlally eaten a
child. The sow was convicted aud
condemned to death, but tbe little oups
were acquitted on tbe ground of their
extreme youth aud Inexperience, tbe
bad example of their mother and tbe
abKence of direct evidence of their
having partaken of the atrocious feast.
One of th most grotesque of these
trials took place In Dasel when a
farmyard cock was tried on the ab
surd cbargo of having laid an Cg, It
was contended In support of the prone-
cut Ion that egga laid by cocka were of
tuestlmabie worth for use in certain
magical preparations, that a sorcerer
would rather possess a cock's egg than
tho elixir of life and that 8atan, era
ployed witches to hatch such eggs,
from which proceeded winged serpents
most dangerous to mankind. '
The prisoner's advocate admitted tbe
facta of tbe case, but contended that
no evil Intention bad been proved and
that no evil result had taken place
Besides, tbe laying of an egg was an
Involuntary act and as aucb was not
punishable by law; also there was no
record of the devil having made a com
pact with an nntmat The public pros
ecutor stated in reply that the evil one
sometimes entered Into animals, as in
the case of the swine which drowned
themselves In the tea of Galilee.
So the poor creature waa convicted
not aa a cock, but as a sorcerer or per
haps the devil In the form of ft cock,
whereupon the bird and the egg that
was attributed to It were solemnly
burned at the stake.
Even atranger than tbla were the
proceedings Instituted In 1443 and 14S7
against certain beetles which had made
havoc lu the vineyards of St. Julian.
Advocates were named on behalf of
the vine growers and the beetles re
spectively, but by a singular coinci
dence tho Insects disappeared when
cited to answer for tbe mischief they
had done, and tho proceedings were In
consequence abandoned.
That waa In 1445. In 1487, bow
ever, they reappeared, and a complaint
was thereupon addressed to the vicar
general of tbe bishop of Maurlcnne,
who named a judge and also an advo
cate to represent the beetles. A com
promise was finally , agreed upon,
wherein the vine growers consented to
cede the beetles certain fields to their
exelimlve use. Some time after the
beetles, through their attorney, pro
tested that there was n right of way
through these Colds which' would be
to their detriment Consequently the
case hud to begin again.' but bow It
ended la not known, 'owlug to the tuuti
lntlou Of the records. F. C. Evans In
