Kay McKinsey, a 14-year-old boy
working for Mr. John Waters of Hosier,
was perhaps fatally gored by a heifer
while feeding her in the stable Saturday.
She thrust her horn through the boy's
neck, near the jugular vein. Dr. Morgan
of Hood River happened to be near at
hand and took the boy to Hood River,
where everything possible was done for
him. The wound is a very severe one
and may result fatally.

tion bad been made, tbe meeting organ
ized by electing Hon. Robert Mays
chairman.
On motion a committee, consisting of
Messrs. Nolan, Moody, Brogan, Kelsay
and Bchanno, were appointed by tbe
chair, after which, on motion, Mr. D.
M. French and the chairman were add
ed to the committee.
The meeting then adjourned, subject
to the call of the committee, which re
mained to have a consultation with Mr.'
Shaw.
Mr. Shaw's proposition is a fair one.
He asks as a bonus the mill site and a
building, which will not cost over $4,000.
He asks additionally the loan of $20,000
for five years at 10 per cent, the loan to
be secured by the mill and plant and
$17,000 worth of other property. For
this he puts in a scouring mill and a
two-set woolen mill.

were all allowed.
JQn motion of Johns, seconded by
Hood, council proceeded to tbe election
of .a councilman for the Second ward, to
fill the vacancy -caused by the death of
Thos. N. Joles. Thereupon Councilman
Nolan introduced the following resolu
tion : "
Thk Dalles, Or., Jan. 3, 1895.
Whereas, The death of Thomas N.
Joles has causedva vacancy in the office
of one councilman for the Second
ward of Dalles City ; and j
Whebeas, Tbe financial condition of
Dalles City is such as to demand the
harmonious and united action of a full
council, therefore be it v
"Resolved, That in accordance with
the precedents established by all coun
cils existing under the present charter,
it requires the vote of at least four conn
oilmen to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of our esteemed colleague."
Mr. Nolan then moved the adoption

roll being called the result was as fol
lows: Ayes Nolan, Lauer; noes
Hood, EBhelman and Johns. The vote
being announced, Councilmen Nolan and
Lauer retired, - and the council being

John Beln Shoots Himself.
About 6 o'clock Saturday evening,
John Rein, a farm hand residing in
Sherman county, shot himself in the
stomach. The act was committed in the
street near Skibbe's hotel. When first
found be stated that he shot himself in
tentionally, but after being carried into
Skibbe's hotel he stated the shooting
was accidental. He was very drnnk at
the time and had been so nearly all day,
and the chances are that he does not
know how or why he shot himself, but
as he was too drunk to sit on his horse
it is easily seen that he was too full to
monkey with a loaded pistol. There is a
bare possibility of his recovery, but the
chances are decidedly against him.

Installation.
On Saturday evening an open meeting
of the G. A. R, and W. R. C. was held
in Fraternity hall, for the purpose of in
stalling the newly elected officers of post
and corps. The slippery streets, slush
and rain combined did not prevent a
large number of both organizations from
being present to witness tbe installation.
The following officers were installed by
P. P. C. W. A. Maddron :
W S Myers, PC; J Lemison, Jr, V C ;
F Esping, Chap; A G Johnson, Adjt; E
N Chandler, Q M; LP Nichols, O D;
RL Aiken, O G; J M Patterson, S M;
Wm McCrum, Q M. After which P. C.
installed W. A. Maddron, Sen V C.
After a short recess tbe meeting was
called to order by Mrs. B. Jane Russell,
Past Dep't Pres. of California, whose
work was above criticism. The exercises
opened by singing "America," in which
all were invited to join. Mrs. Mary S.
Myers was announced as installing
officer. After being introduced, escorted
to the platform and given the salute of
the order, she installed the following
officers in a very graceful, impressive
manner:
Blanche G Patterson, Pres;' Belle
Burger, S V P; Vilia Lewis, J V P;
Maggie Herrin, Sec; Lizzie Ullrich,
Treas; Sue C Wilson, Chap; Jennie
Russell, Con; Eliza Kelsay, G; "Sarah
E Bunch, Asst Con; Annie Urqnhart,
asst G.
The newly appointed president ten
dered the thanks of the corps to tbe in
stalling officer and made some very
pleasant remarks, after which Mrs. Sue
Wilson stepped to the front and in a few
well 'chosen words, presented Mrs.
Myers, the past president, with a gold
recognition pin, with red, white and
blue center, bearing tbe letters F., C.
and L., the motto of the order. This
little affair was kept a profound secret
from Mrs. Myers and was a genuine sur
prise ; but she was equal to the occasion
and thanked tbe corps in a very touch'
ing manner for ' the beautiful little
souvenir, paid a high tribute "to the
ladies, for their loyal support the past
year," and especially to her secretary,
Mrs. Nichols, and treasurer, Mrs. Burger,

Mr. and Mis. French at Cordray's.
The reapperance of R. E. French and
Eva Earle French at Cordray's theater
last evening with their own company in
"The Golden Giant" was a signal suc
cess, the large audience present giving
them a hearty welcome . on the several
entrances, and generously applauding
their efforts throughout the five inter
esting acts of the drama. Eva Earle
French always was a pleasing soubrette,
and as Bessie Fairfax last evening she
extracted a good deal of fun out of the
part. Mr. French made a dashing Jack
Mason, the gambler, whose heart was in
the right place, and he endowed the part
with much of his own personal magnet
ism, that secured -for him hearty recog
nition during the evening. . Mr. French
has a good company to support him, and
their excellent work last evening, in
dividually and collectively, had much to
do with tbeB success of tbe play. Ore-

How Grasir Died.
In the matter of the inquest upon the
body of P. R. Grazir, deceased :
We, the jury empaneled to inquire in
to the cause of the death of P. R. Grazir,
who died Friday morning, Jan. 11, 1895,
at the residence of W. L. Hendrix, do
find as follows :
That said deceased was about 34 years
of age and was unmarried. That the
cause of his death, to the best of our
judgment, was through an accidental
fall from a building on Tuesday, January
8th, which caused a rupture and thereby
produced congestion of the lungs.
