John D. Laiirance, of the upjwr

week. Tho animal had killed a

when he found it. Ho went home

the animal in a few hours and de

pulled the trigger. The instant ho
tired he tlromtetl his gun and
cliuil'cd a sapling. He stayed there
unite a long time, but the cougar
did not stir from the sH.t, so he
coin ludrd it wan dead, and um.ii
coming down found it bad lien
dead long enough to Is-coinc cold.

The supreme court of Oregon hn.

The law iu this stale is very lame
in many respects. For instance,
licforo a woman can marry u man

she Ik iu the county six months
before a license can la issued. It
makes it very embarrassing for the
fellow, who send for their sweet
hearts to come from the ICusl or
other counties in the state; yet it
gives the county girls a little U tter
show. Malheur (iaxette.
