Fred Neckerman. who shot himself at
Wilhoit Springs recently, was a de
cidedly poor marksman. He fired three
times at himself and missed twice.
This reminds as of the celebrated Ne
vada duel between Bob Lyons and White
Horse Adams. Both were pretty full
and when thev got into a controversy
some of their friends proposed a duel.
They were to be placed in opposite cor
ners of the room and when everybody
got out were to turn loose. In the
meanwhile the boys had loaded their
pistols with blank cartridges. Each
fired six shots and then the boys came
in. .Lyons ana Adams snook nands, ana
then each examined bis opponent's cor
ner for bullet marks. Finding none,
'Adams ordered the drinks for the crowd
because, as be said, it was the first time
he ever shot inside of a house and
missed it.
On Friday morning of last week Miss
Augusta Dras of Fossil was nearly scared
to death by a blow snake on the Buck
ingham ranch near the John Day river,
where she was visiting . Mrs. Phania
Angell, a sister of George Metteer, Jr.,
who has the place rented. The snake
had in some manner crawled into a cup
board in the house, the front of which
was covered with a curtain, and was on
the top shelf when Miss Lras drew the
curtain aside to get something out of
the cupboard. The reptile raised his
ead and blew into her face the instant-
e saw her, throwing the young lady
ito such a state of hysteria and nervous
rostration that for several davs her life
was considered in danger. Dr. Howard
of Fossil was at once called, but could
not. leave town at the time, and Dr.
Pilkington of Antelope was then sum
moned, and reached the sick girl's bed
side Saturday evening. Miss Dras is
now convalescing, and was moved to
town yesteidav, but may never entirely
get over the effects of her fright. Fossil

No man who lives on meat was ever
known to lick his wife or ask for a di
vorce. Adam got into a row right off
because he had no hog meat, butter or
black bass. Napoleon lost Waterloo be
cause the allied forces had bacon for
breakfast the morniDg of the fight. The
Fieuch had vegetable soup. The South
had to give in at Appomattox because
they were out of meat. No war can be
successfully waged without hog meat.
Americans are the most frisky peo
ple on tne earth because they eat the
most bog meat.
Ingails would have gone back to the
senate bad be not lived on oatmeal,
bake I apples aud blind robins.
A vegetable diet woman is as cold and
clammy aud unlovable as a turnip. If
you wish to put roses in the cheeks of
your girls, vitality in their every motion
aud brains in their beads, feed them
meat.
If you want your boy to vet a job and
bold it, go to the front and amount to
something, give him bacon grease, ham
tat or tallow, three times u day. .

A HOOD RIVER DIGRESSION.
A Hood River Alan Lesras a Fiddle Is
Dangerous Only When Played On.
Hood River indulged in the luxury of
a small fight Saturday. One of the con
testanta was actually anguishing for a
ngut, ana anally found it. fie had a
fiddle in a flour sack and while his im
pression that it was a dangerous wea
pon in nis nanae was undoubtedly cor
rect, be lost sight that it was only dan
gerous to those in range of its strains
while he was playing it. Being misled
in this direction, he grasped the faithful
old peace-disturber bv the neck and
smote, with all the vigor of his mnecu
lar arm, his opponent on the head with
that same fiddle. There was a crash as
of piling when a steamship strikes a
wharf, and the fiddle was as tuneless as
"the harp that hung on Tara's walls."
The opening of the sack, which did not
occur until the owner thereof had been
pretty thoroughly whipped, disclosed a
wreck. The body of the fiddle looked
liked a fresh heap of jack-straws, and
the stretched catguts bad coiled them
selves lovingly around the old fiddle's
neck.
The owner took one glance at the ruin
he bad made and began to weep. He
couldn't get over the destruction of bis
fiddle probably because the bridge was
gone. He mournfully tied np the sack,
and as he wended his way homeward
the remains of the old fiddle rattled in
the bottom thereof like a Clondyker's
outfit at the close of the winter.
He took with him a pint of whiskey,
which had been prescribed for his wife,
but if she got it she had to strain his
breath.

From parties in from Boyd we learn
that M. J. Cockerline is pnehing the
work along on the improvements to his
flour mill property, and will have every
thing in shape to start up by the 1st o
September. His new ditch is workin
splendidly and from the massive Btone
foundations put in for the new building
and power plant, it is evident that there
can never be delay or poor work from
lack of steadiness in machinery or fro.n
breakdowns a very important point.
Mr. Cockerline states that IUISJ change
was made imperative by his rapidly in
creasing trade and that in the past he
has been compelled to tarn away a
large percentage for lack of capacity,
but that in the future be will be glad
to see all old customers and as many
new ones as possible, assuring them
that be is now prepared to serve them
promptly, no matter how fast they come.
Although his flour has held an enviable
reputation, he will do still better and
famish - an article' inferior to none in
the Btate. This mill has always been a
standby of the farmers in an exchange
business, and it is greatly to the farm
ers interest that the mill is conducted in
the way it has been, and we are glad to
note the foregoing 1 Improvements as a
sign that the benefits are mutual and
that the mill will be better able than
ever to meet the people's demands

Best, my dear, lie still and slumber;
Holy angels guard thy bed.
Heavenly blessings without number
Gently falling on thy head.
Best here, distressed by suffering no more;
Bleep, undisturbed, within this peaceful

Here find that calm thou gav'st so oft before,
Till angels wake thee with a note like
thine.
