Stoy, on Monday night, Jan. 20.
It was a very sad death, the little
one had been seemingly in good
health when they retired for the
night and during the night had
become fretful and the young
mother gave her a dose of Cas
toria and laid her across her
breast. Upon awakening later
the child was found to be dead.
The young people were on their
homestead near Venator and
somewhat isolated from any
neighbors and the bereaved
mother had to wash and dress
the body without aid, her hus
band going to a neighbor to se
cure a team and they left at once
for Burnt, arriving here about 6
o'clock Wednesday morning.
The funeral was held Thursday
afternoon, Dr. Babbidge conduct
ing the service at the grave.
Mrs. Stoy is the youngest daugh
ter of Mrs. Winters and her little
one was but four months old.
Dr. Harrison was called to diag
nose the cuuse of death after the
body was brought here and is of
the opinion it was heart failure.

Senator Stewart writeB this
office that the first bill to pass
the senate was one preventing
the deduction for grain sacks by
purchasers and he succeeded in
securing an amendment includ
ing wool sacks. This he explains
will result in a saving of $05,000
to the wool men of the state
basing the sales at twenty million
pounds per year. The senator is
well pleased with his committee
assignments as most of the bills
that in any wise afreet Eastern
Oregon must necessarily come to
one of his committees. He has
asked that his constituents in
this district feel at liberty to
write him at any time during the
session in regard to any matters
in which they ure interested.
The masked ball given by the
Tonawama Band last night was
a success and largely attended.
The affair was entirely in the
hands of the band boys and the
people of Burns had an opportuni
ty to contribute in a substantial
way toward the organization and
they responded. The boys have
been giving us some good music
all during the season and have
been making their own way. not
asking any contributions from
the business men but giving
value received for every enterain
ment or concert The prizes
were awarded to Miss Ella Crow
ley as "Soubrette," and D. D.
Van OLinda as "Faust," the
best costumed couple; Glen
Clemens, representing "Schlitz,"
and Miss Ethel Haines as a
"negro mamy," were awarded
the prizes for the most grotesque
characters. The band played
for the entire dance and delight
ed the large crowd with the
music which was un additional
attraction to the masquerade.
There were several good charact
ers represented, among them
being somu ladies who dressed
as men, imitating some of the
characters around town to good
advantage and fooling all those
present.
Commendable Charity.
The Times-Herald wishes to
call attention to the ad of N.

the splendid spirit shown in as

needs aid. That firm is going to
give five per cent of its cash busi
ness next month toward assisting
William Carroll, who lost both
feet recently to secure artificial
feet and pay his doctor. Should
the firm do $1000 worth of busi
ness during February $50 would
thuB go to Mr. Carroll. It is a
spirit that should be followed by
others.
In connection with this we
might Bay in passing the Tona
wama management has tendered
the house at some time in the
near future for a benefit of Mr.
Carroll to be used for the same
inn-pose. Just when this benefit
will be given has not been de
cided by those having it in mind.
Harry Smith has taken active
charge of the proposed benefit
and contemplates a dance. The
date will be announced later.
S. W. Hamilton was over from
Drewsey during the week.

Caaing For The Oil WelU
Frank Shumway, the Harney
county Freighter out of Vale, left
this week with 2000 feetof 6-inch
oil-well casing, loaded in six big
wagons, for the oil fields of the
Central Oregon Oil & Gas Com
pany in Harney county. Reports
indicate that the sustained effort
of this company 's energetic mana
ger, J. C. Turney, are about to
bear fruit.
In November, Shumway frei
ghted in 1500 feet of 8-inch cas
ing, and the present shipment
indicates that there will soon be
things doing in the eastern Ore
gon oil fields. Oil indications are
strong, alike in Malheur and Har
ney counties, and it is only a
question of drilling in the right
places, say the oil men, before a
producing well will be uncovered.

New Coyote Trap.
new way for catching coyotes
around sheep camps without the
use of poisoned baits, on account
of the danger to dogs, is by the
use of steel traps and snares made
out of five gallon tin cans distri
buted over the range.
The cans have a star shaped
aperture cut in the top for a coy
ote to put his head through. The
sharp points of the star are bent
downward and a bait of bacon,
eggs, chicken or dead horse plac
ed in the bottom of the can. A
coyote puts his head in the can
and the sharp points of the star
catch in his mane and the thick
hair around his neck and he is
unable to withdraw it. It is said
that a coyote caught in this man
ner will walk backward in a cir
cle with the can on his head and
will not get far from the locality
where the snare is placed. Lake
