AWFUL AFFAIR.
, At Cass1 Matlock's saloon Saturday
night Mat Hughes, bit off a piece of
Claud Herren's ear.
, This is a ease deserving the severest
condemnation. Under no circumstances
is a man justified in bitinr; another, and
no community shonld tolerate such bru
tality. Everybody knows that these
men had three trials over the owner
ship of a horse', and that a jury said the
horse was Herren's. That ought to
have settled the matter. Hughea is
one of the largest and most powerful
men here, atd Herren is no match for
him.
Hughes was arrested and bailed, and
examination has been postponed until
Monday to give him time to secure an
attorney.
Several statements have been made
as to how the affair occurred. - A thor
oughly reliable man who was an eye
witness and would not make a mis
statement in favor, of either party, says
thai Hughei was the aggressor; that
Herren started out from the rear end of
the saloon and that Hughes stepped in
front of Iifra anif Jg't6pped him and be
gan the row j tie , heard ' Herren say he
did not want to fight,,, and wanted .to
be let aone; t'-at both exchanged
pretty bad names, and finally Hughes
seized one of Herren's wrists, grabbed
him around the necic, and threw him on
the floor.- When Herren called out that
Hughes was biting him, the by-standers
pulled Hughes off of Herren; While
Hughes ' was on top, Herrei blacked
his eye,
i Herren admits that be had his jack-
knife in bis hand, expecting that if be
pad to fight he could strike a harder
blow with it, but says the knife was
not opened.
' The law on the subject is as follows:
; "Sec. 1735. If any person shall pur
posejy and maliciously,- or in the com
mission or attempt to commit a felony,
cut or tear out or disable, the tongue,
put out or destroy the eve, cut or slit or
tear off an ear, cut or slit or mutilate
the nose or lip, or cut off or disable the
limb or member of another, such per
son, upon conviction thereof, shall be
punished by imprisonment in the pen
itentiary for not less than one year nor
more than 20 years. . Mayhem, The
ear is a member of a person's body, and
biting it off is mayhem." ,
WHEAT.'
As favorable farming weather has
continued all winter, the grain acreage
of Morrow county will be very large
the coming season.'
At Lexington quite a large lot of
wheat has recently changed hands.
Bruce McAllister bought 3200 sacks
from John McMillan and as much more
from John Piper, John Carmichael and
Evans Bros. The price is said to have
been 45 cents a bushel for the best.
A PRESENT OF; VALUE.
A very beautiful and valuable present

GRAY DAYS.
The Heppner Hills have this week
been hAving more than their share of
the kind of gray days that women en-
tnuse over at the seacoast. Une sun-
Bhiny day would be worth a dozen of
them. Tuesday was a bright and beau
tiful day, and the air was warm and
balmy, but during the rest of the week
a frosty fog has hung over. The ther
mometer has hardly gone down to freez
ing, and growing grass continues green
The weather is far from being bad, but
is not up to Morrow" county's average
winter weather, and there is a threat
in the air of a white Christmas to come.
It was somewhat showery last night,
but this Thursday morning the weather
is bright and pleasant..
