A Viixaixocs Outrage. We are In
formed, sa3s a Portland paper, of a very
cruel and criminal act which was commit
ted near Milwaukee last Monday morning
liet ween 8 and 9 o'clock. As the little son
of Mr.S.II.Dyer, who lives in the suburbs
of the town, was on his way to school and
when crossing the creek "just alxjve the
town he met a man who wore heavy black
whiskers, a long brown overcoat and had
l'.is face partially covered by a mask. The
lad, who is only twelve years of age, was
frightened at the appearance of the man,
and started to run. The man pursued the
sirnrod Ijov and overtook? him. tied his
hands and dragged him about 2U yards in
to the timlx r. Here the villain iVgan ty
ing the boy to a tree in tho meantime hav
ing choked him so that ho was unable to
make much of an outcry. However, as
the boy was being tied he managed to
scieani pretty loudly, and his jierseoutor
becoming afraid ierhajs that some one
might be in hearing, left him and lied lje
fore tho boy was securely tied. The lad
by some means loosed himself and ran
home, falling insensible from terror and
exhaustion at his father's door. His tongue
was swollen so that it protruded from his
mouth, the lacerations on his Imdy and his
general appearance indicated tho sutfer
ings, mental and physical, which he had
undergone. 1'y use of restoratives, how
ever, ho recovered consciousness and was
able to give an imperfect description of his
tormentor, which is furnished above. What
the motive for such a deed was, or by
whom committed, the parents of the lad
and the eitizen.s of Milwaukie are utterly
unable to tell. There is a good deal of
just indignation felt in regard to the out
rage, and could the villainous perpetrator
have been discovered, his treatment would
doubtless have been severe, but could
hardly bavf been more so than the wretch
deserves. Efforts will b3 made to ferret
the matter out and bring the guilty dastard
to justice.

A Gentle Hint.
In our sljle of climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature, rain, wind and sun
shine often intermingled In a single day, it
is no wonder that our children, friends and
relatives are so frequent ly taken from us by
neglected colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of llosehee's
Oeroian Syrup kept alnrnt your home for im
mediate use will prevent serious sickness, a

use of three or four doses. For curing'Con
sumption. Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe
Coughs, Croup or any discus of t lie Throat or
