A mob of about forty masked men broke
into the Jail at Oystorville, Wash., last Sat
urday night and killed John Hose and Jack
Edwards, two men convicted ot murder in
the first degree and sentenced to be hanged,
but the supreme court reversed the decision
and a new trial was granted the men, which
caused dissatisfaction, hence the killing.
The men were shot down in their cells
A. B. Conley, one of the Mogul farmers of
Grande Itonde, sent an agent this week to
Arkansas to procure from fifteen to twenty
negro farm hands. The moral to this little
bit of information is that farm hands are a
scarce article when most needed. This is
especially the case during the harvest sea
son. It would seem that there should be no
necessity for this importation of niusclo but
it is only a small portion of idle men in the
towns who are very badly stuck on work,
and they cannot be relied upon in cases of
emergency. Gazette.
Last Sunday, April o, Willie Jones, aged
8 years, was killed by a horse, says the Bor
der Signil. The family had been out driv
ing and on their return homo the manly
littlo fellow was helping his father to un
hitch his team. He took the bridle off but
was unable to get the reins over the horse's
head, and in trying to do so became entan
gled in the bridle. This so frightened the
animal that it ran away and dragged the
little fellow to death. He died in a very
short time and was buried last Tuesday.
Thu bereaved family have the sympathy of
the entire community.

myself up to my Savior saying that if I
could stay with my friends on earth, 1
would meet my absent ones above. My

Jesse Albcrson, of Huntington, was
in the city last week. He informs us

Now is tho time to brighten up your

nothing adds more to tho general ap

Tho little imp lias belched forth at

and oh how you do sing. Your voice
sounds like one of those I'olo Angus
black nuilies. If they wont let you in
the choir at Summervillo and you can
start the Doxology as well as you say
you can perhaps you had better move
out to Kettlobeliy and they will let you
lead the orchestra out there.
