Baker City Lad Attacked by Enraged Mountain Lion Iiaker City. Ore., Nov. 2S. Two boys, the sons of Charles Newton, of this city, had a thrilling experience wtlh a mountain Hon near this city, Saturday. They were out hunting rabbits when they came up with the lion. They weie on horseback and armed with a shotgun. The oldest boy, a lad of 1C years, fired at the animal striking It with a full charge of shot in the head. The Hon became enraged and attacked tho boys on the horse. It caught tho oldest boy by the leg and dragged him from the horse. A desperate encounter ensued between the boy and lion. The boy clubbed his gun and beat the lion over the Iiead until he killed It. The gun stock was demolished, but victory was with the plucky lad. The two boys brought the dead Hon to town. There was another Hon near by, presumably tho mate of tho one killed, although ho did not offer to join in the fray. The gun was use less and the boys did not try to cap ture tho second one.

The Location. Adams is situated on the O. It. & N. railioad, about 13 miles fiom Pen dleton, with Athena six miles beyond. Kvery Inch of the soil in every direc tion from Adams Is a grain producer. The town, although comparatively small In population, has three largo warehouses where hundreds of thous ands ol bushels of grain are stored, and from which aro shipped annually. It has a good newspaper, a number of enterprising business houses, has good schools and churches, fraternal organizations .is Incorporated and Is in splendid llnancial condition Early Wlieatraising. Wade Holman and John Adams were the first settlers. The town Is principally located' on the tract home steaded by Holman, but the town was named for Adams. Holman, like many of tho other early pioneers was a whcatralser and Adams a sheep- raiser. He was practically the pioneer of the place. The other old-timers began to stir the soil and experiment with wheat. Adams made all kinds of sport or them. He told them that they were wasting their time, as the soil would not produce anything but buuehgrass. He even drove about among them and goodnaturedly advised them to quit wasting their time. He said ho did not like to see such good men and hard workers throwing away precious moments. He advised them that if they were bound to work to go to a place where the soil would produce something and reward them for their labors. Hut these old pioneers showed their "confidence in Umatilla soil by continuing their efforts. Theie were soure failures in a measure nt first it is true; the time for planting, the summer fallow system all had to be learned ;the primeval manner of sav ing the grain by tramping It out with tho feet, the long haul to Umatilla landing for market, a hundred and one things had to be met by the pioneer wheatraiser. Hut patience and industry won. The wheat grew. It ptuduced 30 or more bushels to the acre. The fame of the country sptead. Other settlers came. The small patches" grew into large farms. More land was taken up and fenced. In a tew years the doubting Adams found his range growing smaller, His sheep had to give way to the broad ening wheat fields. Tho pioneer sheep raiser now had the laugh against him, and in his old days told and enjoyed tho joke as well as did his old-tlmo companions. An Old-Timer. A. McKenzIo is one of the old timers. Ho came to the community in 1873, lives two and one-half miles northwest of town and has S00 acres in wheat. Ho has raised as many as 47 Yz bushels of wheat to the acre and as high as 75 bushels of barley to the acre. Ho owned tho first threshing outfit In the country aud ran It within half a mile of where Adams now stands. It was a crude affair, but was considered a great in stitution in those days. Help was so scarce that he had to go to Walla Walla to get help. Tho wheat then was principally hauled to Umatilla Lauding.
