Vic GroBhens has been euifdriag extreme pain for a few dayg past, the result of an injury to ttm big toe on his left foot. In hurrying out of the house to see what was disturbing his hen roost, no eve ning the past week, he struck his toe against a bucket filled witi honey that was sitting on the fluor near the door. He did iKt tiiok that he struck the bucket with much force, but it was sufSciet f cause his toe to badly swell and become exceedingly painful. As the member did not seem to get better after a few days of local treatment, he called in a physician and the doctor states that it will be many weeks before tie iGiary is well. Good Injun Now. 'Honest John," an Indian of the Uma tilla tribe, w ho has been round abiut leppner ever since the taking in cf the Tiliton gang of horee rustlers, was run in by the city marshal last fiiday and taken before Recorder Williams on a charge of d link and disorder!'. The judge gave him 30 days and lie is cow serving time working for the citv on the streets, a stunt that he does not seem to appreciate very much, as like other biick Indians, he is constitutionally op posed to manual labor. Tina same " Holiest Johu" has a g'eat liking for the civilization of his pale faced brotbers, and seems to greatly enjov the "civilis ing" int'uence of the antidote of snake bite that is used in all up-to-the minute communities ci trie counny, sucti as Heppner, and he seems to be able, re gardless of the fact that he is a full blood Indian, to get enough of it to make him crazy drunk. When arrested. Fri day, he was relieved of a couple of flasks of the "fire water" that had bfen fur nished him by some bootlegger. It is hoped that work on the streets will rid the town of this particular Indian, and if Uncle Sam could get hold of the other party or parties who give him the liquor and send him or them over the road for few months, much good would bave been accomplished.
