Marshal Thorton and his deputies
were kept busy Tuesday night, which
was Hallowe'en. What the. boys left
undone the officers were close to. Five
of the young bloods were run to earth
by the marshal, and he is authority for
these young men having set about re
arranging too many gates to be enumer
ated, besides returning cords ot wood to
the sheds from which it was carried by
the "devil's imps," who always raise
the mischief on the night of October
31st.

jority of gold-seekers you seldom hear
anything about the ones who fail to
"strike it." His Klondike adventure
has cost him his health, his money, and
two of the best years of his life. Fossil
Journal.
On Saturday afternoon a number of
our citizens were attracted to a horse
suffering from lockjaw on our streets.
Every suggested remedy was tried to
relieve the animal without success.
Its driver concluded to try and get home
with it, but when opposite the
ranch of J. Q. Wilson the animal
dropped dead. Its driver abandoned it
where it fell, and since then it has been
a menace to travellers. I he owner
should be compelled to remove and
bury it.
W. B. Robinson, a former popular
hotel man of Portland, but late of Ore
gon City, spent Sunday here si.eing up
the Palace hotel proposition. He was
decidedly impressed with onr little city
and had not other arrangements been
decided upon he would probably been
our future hotel manager. Those who
met him pronounced him the kind of a
eitizen Heppner is in need of. We can
vouch for his business ability, having
formerly boarded at a hotel of which he
was proprietor.
There are several methods of finding
the live weight of cattle, but the follow
ing is probably the most correct:
Measure the girth around the breast
just behind the shoulder blade and the
length of the back from the tail to the
fore part of the ahoulunr blade. Multi
nlv tha nroduct bv 11 and the result
will be the number of pounds. If be'
tween three and five feet multiply by
16; if between five and seven feet, mul
tiply by 23 ; if between seven and nine
feet, multip'v bv 31 ; if between nine
and eleven feet, multiply by 40.
The O. R. & N. is going to build
brand new, spick and span, fISGOO nnion
depot at Biggs, or rather, a mile and
half west of that station, the work to
commence about the 1st of November.
This will make eyerybodv around these
narts jump for joy. That old shack has
been an eyesore for a good many years
and we have seen pleasanter places to
wait for a train. With a fine depot
(with a lunch counter attachment) to
rest in for three or four hours when go-
in west, life will for passengers at the
new Biggs be at least endurable. Be'
idea, tha new location Is almost en
tirely dsvoid of t!;3 and PXi'anca
DEATH OF GEORUE 1NCENT.
A Bright Young Han Passed Away Tues
day Afternoon.
Just at the threshold of a bright oareer
George Vincent, aged twenty, was taken
away. For nearly three years he had
shown symptoms of Bright's disease,
and a few months ago it developed into
an aonte form wbioh is responsible tor
bis death. About two weeks ago George
disappeared from the midst of his
schoolmates and associates, when the
announcement came that he was in a
serious condition. Since then all who
knew him have been in a oondition ot
suspense, and the announcement ot his
death cubI a gloom over the entire 00m
m unity.
George was truly an exception to the
avernge young mac, from the faot that
he was inspired with an ambition to be
oome more than an ordinary plodder,
and, faithful to bis studies, his ambition
wos sure ot fulfillment, bad not death
taken him away at this importune time.
Considerate ot others, be was always
gentleman, and this admirable trait won
bim the love and admiration of old and
youDg.
At the Methodist Episoopal ohurcb
yesterday afternoon, where bis funeral
was beld, standing room was denied
m.iny who oame to pay their respects to
one so deserving. Rev. C. D. Niokeleen
preaobed a tonching sermon, and as be
dwelt upon the companionship of this
young mBn and his eohoolmates, his
oharaoter and his ambitions, the emotion
of the entire assemblage was distressing.
The girls and boys as well as fathers
and mothers were sobbing as though
their hearts would break.
Aooompanyiog tbe remains to the
oemetery was tbe fire department, of
whiob he was a member, drawing its
hose cart, and following the bearse was
the room of bis schoolmates to whiob he
belonged. Tbe olose of this sobool year
promised his graduation with high
honors, and be had already planned for
the study of dentistry.
Tbe parents and family of this worthy
young man have ooossion to mourn the
loss of one who would prove sn example
for all yooog meo, regardless of their
social conditions and influences, and
they have the sympathy of all.
