Mp in hers of the order are invited to
attend. By order of the N. G.
Drowned. On last Monday even
ing about half past five o'clock the
citizens of this city were startled by
the report that Alonzo Lockwood
was drowning in the swimming hole
below town. Many citizens were '
soon at the place and every effort I
was made to hnd the boy, as lie had
sunk to the bottom before aid could
be called. It seems that Chas. Dus
tin, a typo of this office, Geo. Cur
rey, Jr., and Alonzo Lockwood had
gone to the hole to take a swim.
George did not go in the 'water, but
Charlie and decease 1 did. They had
hardly entered before, from some
unknown cause, perhaps the ruptur
ing of his lungs, as the water was
very cold, Alonzo began to sink and
had gone down before the other boys
knew what was the matter, at which
time George rode up to town for
help and Charlie proceeded to aid
his companion, and was taken down
once with the drowning boy. When
aid arrived he was no more. A num
ber of the citizens made vigorous ei
lorls to dire and find him, but until
Geo. Gundlaoh rode up to his store
and procured a grab hook and re
turned, and by dragging the hole
with it, was he found and brought
to shore. Dr. Howard was on hand
but after examination he was fully
satisfied that life was totally extinct.
H.'he bov was taken to the Masonic !
Hall and was there worked with, but,
to no purpose. It was a sad affair
as his father, deputy sheriff oi this
county, was, and is yet lying very
low, and the boy was only a few
davs before summoned home to see
his sick father. He was about 17
years old and was his Mother's pride
and bis father's hope. Ho leaves a
father, mother, three smaller broth
ers and a sister, as well as many
friends to mourn his untimely death.
The bereaved family have the sym
pathy of the whole county.
THE GRANTO)UXTY SEWS
Will enlarge on or about the 4th
of Sept. and to enable us to tell jtifc
how much to enlarge we hope aJi
those persons that are doing busi
ness in this county now, without ad
vertising will take sufficient interest
in the county to at least give the
News a small adv. All we ask is a
living; we. are willing to work for
past glory, but must have enough
patronage to sustain the paper, so if
you want a large jmper come in im
mediately with your ads. Small
ones thankfully received and larger
ones doubly so.
Mb. R. C. Williamson, Superin
tendent of the Overland Stage Com
pany, informs us that daily mail ser
vice has been ordered on the line be
tween The Dalles and Canyon City,
and between here and Baker City.
He also says that a daily mail line
will be established on the McBean
line from here to Camp McDermitt,
on the 1st of August. The same
company have reduced the fare
from here to The Dalles from $25 to
$20, also made a reduction of $5 on
the fare from The Dalles to Baker
City. The above company have done
much for this county in the way of ;
increased services in mail matter.

We have no objection to our
brother filling Gen. Weaver's ap
pointmont at a 4th of July celebra

to hear of his tilling an appointment

the Presidential nominee.
