one of his neighbors needs killing,
or else the owner. Every morning
at " o'clock the cow begins to bawl
and continues to give tongue until
8 o'clock, at which time her owner
milks her. After a cow has fretted
for a number of hours her milk be
comes more or less poison, and the
roomer savs it would suit him if the
owner of the cow would drink the
milk instead of giving it to the
children.

friends of J. M. Cameron of this
city. They are delighted witn
this section of Oregon, and as a
number of parties in the East are

Saturday, C. A. Barnhart took
the initial steps toward Snaking a
voluntary assignment iji favor of
his creditors. He will petition
for the favor of the bankrupt law
and will turn everything in his
Daint store over to his Creditors.
Mr. Barnhart states that he has
done everything in hisjpower to
make the business a success, but
was unable to place the concern
on a paying basis simply; because
the trade in this city was insuffi
cient to float such an establish
ment. I
For some time past Mr. Barn
hart and his sons have been con
tracting and working on?, the side
and putting their earnings into
the business of the paint store in
the hope that they might even
tually be able to stenr the tide
that had set against them and be
enabled to pull through all right,
but to no avail.
In making an assignment
nothing pertaining to the paint
store will be held back, but a
clear statement will be made to
the court and creditors and the
store and sfock turned over to
them. Mr. Barnhart does not
think that when matters are
straightened out anybody. will be
loser on the proposition, as he is
positive that there is stock
enough on hand to cover all his
liabilities.
This is too bad, and we are
sorry that business should have
been so poor with Mr. Barnhart
that he should have felt obliged
to close his store and make an
assignment, but under t the cir
cumstances it was the only hon
orable thing to do.
Makes Light of It.
An Albany paper endeavors to
make light of the accident which
recently befell Mr. and Mrs. An
drews and Mrs. ,Riley, owing to
the collapse of a bridge in Linn
county. It says, "The structure
went down a short distance into
shallow water and deep mud be
low, the carriage tipping over.
None, though, was seriously
hurt. Judge Palmer visited
them at Corvallis, Monday night,
and found them in excellent spir
its, thankful that if was no
worse. They were invited to
meet the county court at Albany
and satisfactory arrangements
will be made to satisfy whatever
damage was done. ' ' 1C 1
It had been more to the pa-
Ill Fayor o;

the accident resulted how Mrs.
Riley is still suffering from par
alysis of both her arms, with
doubts of full recovery, while
Mr. Andrews will be confined to
his home for weeks, because of a
broken leg and to have taken
the county court sharply to task
for permitting a condition to ex
ist which threatened the lives of
the traveling public.
Continuing, the same authori
ty states:
"Roadmaster Hackleman last
week notified the court .of the
dangerous condition of the bridge,
a six-year-old structure, and ar
rangements were made to repair
it Tuesday, being delayed on ac
count of other work."
Yet no warning to the public
was posted upon tne structure.
The "damage done" should cost
Linn county considerable.
A Shocking Accident.
Dr. Cathev went to Blodgett
late Saturday evening in response
to a telephone message calling
him to the bedside of the little
daughter of William Gellatly who
was suffering from the effects of
a shocking accident. The little
girl had been kicked on the fore
head by a horse, the blow raising
the skull. When Dr. Cathey
examined the wound, he advised
taking her to Salem for treat
ment, which was done.
Mr. Gellatly was with his
threshing outfit on Soap creek
when the accident happened.
His brother, David, was phoned
to in this city and he left imme
diately for Soap creek where he
found William and they hastened
to Blodgett.

Hand-Carved Chessboard.'
An unique and beautiful specie
men of hand carving in wood -is
now on exhibition in the display
window of F. L. Miller's estab
lishment in this city. The" work
was done by William Emory, for
merly of Corvallis, and it was
brought over recently from New
port by Attorney W. E. Yates,
who secured it from Mr. Emory,
who is now a resident of that
place. For a number of years,
Mr. Emory has been hunting
seals in the North Pacific for a
San Francisco Company, and
during odd times on shipboard,
has -employed himself in fashion
ing various articles in wood, and
he is an adept at this kind ' of
work. Given a variety of fine
woods, a pocket knite and a. glue
pot, and Mr. Emory will fashion
articles beautiful in design and
perfect in workmanship.
The specimen of his handiwork
nowjon exhibition is a chessboard,
eighteen inches square, and in
laid with seven varieties of wood;
among them, Mahogony, Wal
nut, Elm, Beech and Maple.
The woods are all in the natural
state, without finish or polish.
The joints all fit perfectly, and
the colors of the various woods
harmonize beautifully.
Wilbur Starr Shot.
Wilbur Starr was the victim of an acci
dent, Friday evening, which may result
in the loss of his left leg from the knee.
He was going rabbit hunting in compa
ny with Rev. Peck, of Monroe, and the
latter came to Mr. Start's home on Mud
dy, from which point tftey were to start.
Mr. Starr filled the magazine of his Win
chester shotgun with caitridges and laid
the weapon on the ground while he went
into the house to see his wife. The min
ister the gun up and threw it to his shoal
der "to see how it worked." He pointed
it in the direction of the door through
which Mr. Starr had passed, and pulled
as Mr. . Starr was emerging from the
house, and the charge of No. 5 shot
struck him in the back of the left leg
just above and below the knee, three of
the shot entering the left leg. He was
only about SO feet distant from the gun,
and the wound is a severe one. Dr. Ben.
nett attended the wounded man, and re
moved seven of the shot. It is impossi
ble yet to tell how serious the injury is.
