BELIEVED BEAST HAD RABIES
LAD TAKEN TO PORTLAND
FOR TREATMENT. .
Grouse, Nov. 5 An unusually ex
citing affair happened near hsre
Thursday. T. A. Bartlett and little son
of Bartlett, on thejr way home from
outside points, slopped at noon In
Wenatohae canyon, for dinner. Just
the boy Jumpedout of the hack a coy.
ota dashed up and snapped at his hand
Fortunately the lad jerked his hand
back and the coyote just fastened
its teeth In .the boy's mitten, jerking
it off his hand and running off with
it. ,
. About one hour later a coyote walk
ed Into the Bostey school house yard,
just across the etaite line in Asotin
county. M,r. Shirk of Enterprise
teaches thia school. Three of the
school boys set three dogs after 'the
beast, but It would not leave -he
road, but kept .the doga at bay by its
vicious snapping and anairllng. . It
next ran. through J. R. Gram's ga'.e
and passing by a bunch of hogs' bit
on of them. It went right up ito
Green's house. Green's gun yas out
of repair and while he was after
another one, .the coyote turned back
to the road, whe.e it met 6-year old
Johnny Boaley. The riad brute snap
ped the boy In the face, knocking some
of his. teeth loose, and1 at) the second
attack biting him both above and be
low the eye, but luckily not injuring
the sight, Mr. Donna a youmg man
staying at Green's, ran out and killed
the beast.
Dr. Gllmore of Flora arrived at
5 p. m. In. response to a phone call,
aud dressed the boy's wounds. He
had the coyote examined, and miss
ing teeth, chewed tongue and bloody
'foam gave indications of hydrophobia.
Mt. and Mrs. Boiley started with
thMr little boy today for Portland to
place him undwr the .treatment of a
specialist.
The parents have the sympathy of
this who'.e community and all hope
Johnny may recover without serious
injury. .
Mr. and Mirs. Eosley and son pass
ed, through Enterprise on their wy
to Portland, aaid a dispatch from
that city says, the lad has been plac
ed In. th 3 care of Dr. C. S. White, sec

poultry farms of the country, he has
several hundred hens out of the col

Seek Contract Release1.
Klamath Falls Another effort 1s
on foot by the marsh land owners
contiguous to Klamath Falls to have
the government release them from
their contracts with the reclamation
service for reclamation of the lands.
A petition signed by all these owners
has been sent to the secretary of the
interior asking that these lands be
released from the operation of the
stock subscription to the Klamath
Water Users' Association, and the
city council Is backing up this re
quest. The owners of the land are
desirous to have the government re
claim It, but if nothing Is to be done
by Uncle Sam, the private owners
themselves plan to' do it.

DEMOCRATS WIN
C0NTR0L0F HOUSE
i
History Repeats and Party in
Power Is Defeated After "
Tariff Revision
New York. The people of the
United States on Tuesday confided to
the Democracy control oi the Nation
al House of Representatives. .They
also placed the Democrats and Pro
gressive Republicans in command In
the United States Senate. The vot
ers in the 42 doubtful districts decid
ed the election. There are 391 Con
gress districts under the present con
stitutional districts under the pres
ent constitutional apportionment, and
a very conservative estimate gives
the Democrats a majority of 25. If
complete returns verify this estimate
the next House will be made up ot
208 Democrats and 183 Republicans,
thus overturning the Republican ma
jority of 43 in the present House.
The Democrats will, control the
House for the first time since the
43d Congress. The passage by that
Congress of the Wilson tariff law
resulted in the restoration of the Re
publicans to power. t
History la Repeated.
The Democratic success seems to
exemplify the Baying that a change In
the political complexion of Congress
is sure to follow a revision of the
tariff. The victory found Its Incep
tion In the Aldrich tariff law and the
split which occurred in the Republi
can party as a result of that law.
The Increased cost of living made
thousands of votes for the Democrats
simply because thousands of people
are convinced that Its cause Is the
tariff protection ot the trusts, as
adroitly perpetuated In the Aldrlch
Payne law by the "standpat" Republicans.
Spokane. Eight are known to bo
dead and four known to be more or
less seriously Injured as a result of
one of the most disastrous freight
wrecks In the history of the Great
Northern Railroad, near Chattaroy,
Wash., early Sunday morning. The
wreck was the result of a head-on
collision around a sharp curve in a
deep cut, fairly at the bottom of two
steep grades. Two heavily loaded
trains runing at an .exceptional rate
of speed combined almost every con
dition possible to make the impact
so disastrous.
Train No. 461, running on its reg
ular schedule, westbound, collided
with the "apple extra," eastbound,
running on a fast schedule of five
hours between Hlllyard, Wash., and
Troy Mont. Train No. 451 was load
ed with paints, oils, some furniture
and some livestock, much of It ex
tremely inflammable material and
considerably lighter than the apple
extra, which carried, besides fruit,
heavy loads of grain and furniture.
Every man of both train crews who
happened to be near the front of his
train Is. dead. One brakeman saved
himself by Jumping, but he is seri
ously Injured. 1
Rear-Brakemen Escape.
The brakemen who happened to bo
In the rear of their trains escaped
with minor Injuries.
, The loss in the wreck Is very large.
A pile of 19 cars of train No. 451,
Jammed Into the space of an ordinary
living room, caught fire immediately
and were speedily reduced to a mass
of tangled, writhing steel before the
Are apparatus, summoned from Spo
kane, 21 miles away, could start a
stream of water on the ruins.
Rioting In Express Strike.
New York With the word that all
hope ot settling the strike ot the ex
press drivers had gone by the board,
there was a renewal of rioting all
through the central section of the
city. Wagons driven by strikebreak
ers were attacked, the men were pull
ed from their seats and beaten, and
harness was slashed from the horses.
The termination of negotiations was
precipitated by a letter to Mayor
Gaynor by the companies stating that
the only condition upon which they
would take back the strikers was by
Individual application not later than
Monday.
8neep In Poor Condition.
Boise A severe winter in Idaho
and the Inter-mountain country this
year will mean the loss of thousands
of dollars to sheeepmen. The present
conditions Indicate that not only are
the sheep In a condition below the
average at this time in the fall, but
they cannot stand unusually cold
weather, according to the declaration
of J. E. Van Duesen. of Emmett, Ida.,
one of the prominent woolmen of the
state.
