ANOTHER L0G
GER HURT
Fred Jones Cut off Three Toes
With Ax.
Fred Jones, a youDg logger work
ing for the Chambers Lumber Co.
at Dorena, Lad a bad accident
about ten o'clock Tuesdar morning.
He was going up the log chute and
stopped to cut a young maple out
of the way, but hia ax caught in
another tree and descending struck
his right foot completely severing
the Lig toe, and the two toes next
to it, and badly cutting the fourth.
Ue was immediately brought
down to Dorena, and just caught
the train which hurried him to town
where Drs. Job and Oglesby dressed
the foot. Bewing the toes back in
place. A large artery was severed,
and while a couple of tourniquets
were applied the blood was still
spurting vigorously when the train
arrived. The doctors' hope to
save all the toes, but the injury is a
bad one. Tones cut his knee badly
ast summer with an ax and haa
several 6titches taken in it, also in
jured his eye, which bad to be
sewed up, but his latest accident
wa3 much worse tUan the others.
C. II. Uurkholder is making a

Hunters Were Too Anxious
Harry Hays, Jas. Hall, Jno Yo-
kum, Wm. Miller, T. H. Kirk, were
each fined $23 for killing deer out
of season. Claude Clark was also
fined for the Bame offense, and
Chaffee Haines was fined $15 like
wise, escaping the $20 by the Jus
tice's error.
Athur Miner fined $ 15 for killing
grouse, John Grills for killing sea
gulls $5. and B. T. Ayres China
pheasants out of season $25. Aj
Chinaman for selling fish without a
license $50. H. T. Wilson and
Anderson & Co. for throwing saw
duet in stream, each $50, and Thos.
Stitt $25 for chasing deer with degs.
Three cases were all that escaped
without fines. j
west and north portions of th state
became very smoky. The rains
were not heaTy enough te extin
guish tho fires, but they cleared the
atmosphere of smoke and made it
harder for the fires to spread. The
mornings in tho coast counties, as a
rule, were either cloudy or toggy,
and the afternoons were clear.
Elsewhere up to the beginning of
rahs fair weather prevailed, with
unusually high temperatures. Fri
day and Saturday were very warm
days, and in the interior of the state
the maximum temperature ranged
between ninety and one hundred
degrees. The prevailing winds
were northwesterly.
Focirnf Liquor De&lers to Leotve Odd
Fellows.
Odd Fellows in every part of the
United States, but especially in
New Jersey, are deeply interested
in the crusade which has been be
gun by Wesley B. Stout, grand
master of the grand lodge of New
Jersey, againss all saloon-keepers,
bartenders and gamblers who are
members of the order.
The grand master has started in
to drive all such members out of
craft. This means, if carried out,
the expulsion of about 3,5oo men
in New Jersey. Stout is acting
under the law passed by the sov
ereign lodge of Odd Fellows in
1805, but which has never hereto
fore been enforced.
Kach lodge is given until August
2o to notify all saloon-keepers, bar
tenders and gamblers to abandon
such pursuits. The failure of the
men to quit such business will be
followed by their dismissal from,
the lodge. Many saloon-keepers
ara threatening suit against tho
lodge if they are expelled.
The saloon element in the New
Jersey Oddfellows has been growing-so
rapidly as to threaten the in
terests of the order. Portland
