Justice Davis decided a case yester
day which will not appear on the docket.
A camp of Indians gave three white
visitors $1.50 to buy some whiBkey for
them, and the Indians were told to stay
in camp till they returned with it.
About 10 o'clock the Indians became
anxious, and coming to town noticed the
white men around the streets celebrat
ing with the $1.50. They were expostu
lated with by the Indians, and were told
to return to camp, they would come up
in a little while with the whisky. They
did not appear by midnight, and the
Indians went to the white men's camp
and took what they thought was about a
dollar and a half's worth, the booty, conl
sisting oi two oiantets, a coat and aV
enirt. Returning to camp a squaw said
the two blankets were stolen from her
on circus day. The white men then
hunted the Indians up and all agreed to
go before Davis as an arbitrator. After
two hours of investigation, Day is re
stored the coat and shirt to the white
men, and held the blankets until Satur
day, when if the white men will pay the
$1.50 back to the Indians they may re
gain them. If they do not, the blankets
go to the Indians..
Breeding; for WtlnUti.
Alex. G. Ogilvie finished shearing this
week, and the shearers are ' unanimous
in saying that his clip is the finest they
ever sheared, and some of them have
shorn sheep for years in Montana and
California. Alex has been breeding his
sheep for this for years, and he has got
there at last; but is not quite satisfied
yet, and expects by breeding his best
ewes to the best bucks in the state to at
tain even finer wool still. Tears ago he
and bis neighbors, who also had very
fine sheep, were breeding for wrinkles,
bnt they have learned a- new wrinkle
since then, and that is that they. can get
finer wool and more of it, without
wrinkles. Fossil Journal'. : .

This is the text of a telegram received
this morning by Mr. S. L. Brooks. from
Observer Pague, and was confirmed by a
telephonic message. This would bring
the river to a height of fifty feet, lacking
only nine and six-tenths feet of being up
to the 1894 rise. In telephoning to Mr.
Pague, the latter said that ten feet he
considered the maximum figure to
be attained, and that six feet more than
the present stage was positive. This
will do a vast amount of damage and
cause considerable trouble and expense.
The largest loss might be the destruction
or partial destruction of the locks. The
railroad company would also suffer a
great loss. Some of the fish wheels
would be liable to go with a rise to fifty
feet. The D. P. & A. N. warehouse
would be compelled to put in a false
floor to raise the wool, with which the
warehouse is almost filled. It is now
about seven feet above the surface of the
water.. There is such a vast floor space
ef this warehouse that the expense
would not fall short of $1,000. Many of
our merchants, with a rise of ten feet,
would have to look to their basements,
and some expense would be entailed in
moving goods. The memory of 1894 is

The Fossil Journal tells the story of
little Banna Knox and the efforts to save
her by skin grafting:
On Thursday, June 11. 1896, Banna
Knox, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George Knox, died at Fossil, Or., aged 6
years, 6 months and four days.
Little Banna sustained' the injuries
which resulted in her death, through
being accidentally burned at the Knox
farm at Lost Valley, on March 19th last.
She was playing in the yard when her
clothes caught fire from the embers of
a pile of rubbish that had been burned
the day before, and on which the child
sat down thinking there was no fire left
in them. When she found herself afire,
she became frightened and ran in an
opposite direction from . the house, so
that she was fearfully burned before her
mother caught her and wrapped a
blanket around her, thus extinguishing
the flames.
Dr. Howard was called from Fossil,
and after examining the burns, informed
the parents that her only hope of life lay
in skin-grafting, and advised them to
move her to Fossil bo that she could be
under his constant care. This they de
cided to do, and so, when the child was
able to be moved, two weeks after 'the
accident, eight sturdy, " noble fellows
tenderly carried the little one on a cov
ered litter to Fossil twenty miles over
the mountains through enow, mud, rain
and swollen creeks.
Grafting was commenced and con
tinued about four weeks, during which
time the skin took hold and spread, and
would soon have covered the whole sur
face of the sores about one foot wide
by two feet long on her back, hips and
legs had it not developed that the burns
were so deep that no Luman aid could
save her. The whole fleBh was burned
off the hips and the fire must have pen
etrated to the kidneys, as' Bright's dis
ease soon set in, and this it was that was
the immediate cause of death, which,
however, was hastened by a severe at
tack of la grippe, which at the same
time prostrated the other members of
the family, who- were weak and worn
out with incessant watching over their
suffering loved one. Loving friends
from their bodies supplied the skin for
grafting.
