She ad mitted him, and Mr. Harmon, hearing the voices, came forward into the hall, when the servant re tired. Without a word Prender- gast pulled a revolver and began shooting.

Before his assail ant eot through with his onslaught McDonald's face and head were cut and slashed in a terrible manner. Blood flowed as freely as water and when his wounds bad been dressed his head looked as though it were composed of a half-dozen ' frag ments. McDonald protested that no knife had been used and that he did not know the name of his assailant, on account of being too drunk to recognize anyone.

Co., lit Pendleton, has receiv ed the following.under date of Oct. 27, from rank Bros. Co., rortland: "We find that large quantities of the damaged wheat from the Palouse country is being shipped to San Francisco and is being sold to the distilleries for the manufactur ing of whiskey, and by talking with the grain men here they claim it is netting them within two or three dollars a ton of No. 1 wheat. Possibly you could help 1 a good many tarmers wno nave damaged wheat by shipping it to them. We would take only "on consignment and charge them nothing for handling it. Of course when wheat has been sacked and is badly sprouted so that the sacks are green, it will not pay to ship it, but where wheat is Bhghtly damag ed, eved if is slightly sprouted,' we think there 13 more money in ship ping it to San Francisco, to the farmer, than in trying to -dispose of it in any other way. "Kindly talk this matter over with the larmers and see u you can do anything for them." , Got Three Months. ' Georere Humohrev. deD- uty United States marshal, came up from rortland 'his morning, He brought back Nick Trembley, the Athena saldon keeper, who was taken below a few days ago by Deputy R. B.

The sentence of the court was 4 that three months imprisonment in the county jail of Umatilla should be given Trembley to serve as a gen tie reminder that Uncle Sam's laws are not to be meddled with . with impunity. - Sat Between Them. ( - An old lady once on her death bed sent for two lawyers. One 0 them got there a little before the other. They were mortal enemies As the old lady owned considerable property he was flattering himself upon what green pastures he was going to feed when lo! ' the other came in. He immediately became impatient and said to her, ''You sent for me and I came. What is your business?" - She requested them to sit on eaoh side of her bed. She then said she had no business with them, bnt just wanted to die like her blessed Savior, between two thieves. Somewhat Mixed. An editor of an exchange is now a haunted beast, roaming the land with no place to lay his head, all on "account of an error made by hia make up." That person in some way got a marriage notice and sa grocer's local mixed, the out come of i which 'read as follows: Mr. John Jones and Miss Mollie Smith were united in the bonds of molasses at 4U cents a quart or barrel.

' Athena, Nov.,' 1, 1893. Editors Press: The other day while standing in front of the Ilotel de Froome, picking my teeth with a real toothpick, after having attended to the wants of the inner V 1 1 man, 1 was accosted Dy a stranger who politely requested the loan of the price of a meal. Not being overburdened with the necessary wherewithal, the root of all evil, I kindly referred him to Johnnie, the ramrod, as a pleasant gentle man to do business with; intima ting that jawbone would, go all right with nim. - . Saving that he would !try, as he terrible hungry and must eat, hav ing tasted nothing for thirty-six hours, he reluctantly went into the hotel. When I entered the ho tel office a short time afterward, he was standing by the table pretend ing to read the morning paper; but no, he couldn't be reading; think ing perhaps; dreading to again ask for something to eat, after having been refused, no one but himself knew, how many times. Standing there with a hunted, famished- ex pression of countenance, his lip al most trailing in the dust, and only partially concealed by the aid of the friendless newspaper, Far from homb and friends starving in " a land of plenty; somebody's darling these thoughts flashed through my big mind instanter. involuntarily, I thrust my small hand into my capacious pocket, and drew forth a shining quarter and slyly slipped it in his palm. Thanking me with tears in hia eyes ho made a , ben-lino for the dining room. About a minute after, he left me, I was looking" out of the window, pondering on the hard row somo men have to hoe, when who should I see but his foyal nibs, the hungry stranger, skipping , across Main street, seemingly- in ; a very gleeful mood. No more will that stick: two-bit piece jingle "in the deep 6ide pockets of my new blue spring bottomed pants. He won't fool me any more, for I, wouldn't believe he was Hungry if . iCihould see him eatinc d last veai'lk bird nest. If he foofii me some more, M hope I may never n gain Reds the back of the neclc of my Mary An n One day 4ast week during 'the absence from home of Mr.j and Mrs. Elmer Brown, someone entered their residence,' and appiWrifU-ed or borrowed various articled, , pro bably the most valuable being, Mr. Brown's wedding suit. On vMr; Brown's return a few days - later, he learned that a certain person whom he has reasons to suspect, had been- seen wearing a suit simi lar in a ppearance to the one that had bo mysteriously disappeared, but not being convinced beyond a reasonable doubt, and wishing to secure more evidence of guilt, Mr. Brown delayed making the arrest. In the meantime the suspect, sus pecting that Mr. Brown might ob ject to him wearing, his wedding suit every day, and no doubt be lieving that "distance lends en chantment to the view," skipped by the light of the moon, not even leaving Mr. Brown a lock of .his hair as a momento. However Mr. Brown inclines to the belief that the suit was only borrowed, for a special occasion, wherein wedding suits are very essential and that it will bo retnrned when the borrow er cpmmitus matrimony. v. John Foss is teaching on vers ing Flat; training the , young idea bow to shoot. The embryo states men, with the young idea that John is teaching how to shoot, have an other young idea, and that is that they already know how to shoot paper wads, , but that is neither here nor there; what I wish to state is that John boards at home, aud I rides to and from hi school on a fcrv, untamed steed, , that has a eait on him like , a pair of bars. The front end of the horse will bo trotting at about a three minute gait, while the rear end walks a long very deliberately. 1 The horse is really a curiosity and should be nrMi trx V Wnclrl'a full. ... . -." Jim Stevens always has hia eyes peeled for bargains. If there U anything on which he prides him self more than , his knowledge of well-digging, it js his ability to know a godd thing when he sees it. If there is any snaps iri the way of bargains roaming around without any strings on them, Jim usually captures them.". The fact of the matter is, Jim is considered quite fly, not only by himself, but by others as well. T Recently, Jim, while on the lookout for bargains, happened to step into Long's bar ber shop- VV'hile there, Long, who by the way, is rather smooth him self, in the course of general con A. vereation, called ' the , attention of those present to. a handsome oil , can, apparently nearly full of coal oil, remarking that he would take $1.50 for the can and . contents. Jim, ever alert for bargains, and having a fancy for the can which 13 really worth fifty cents, ana knowing the oil was worth the price asked for both, snappnu it up like a sucker would a grasshopper. After finding out the contents was water, which he claimed he knew all the time, and declining with thanks Long's offer to rue back, he departed if not a sadder, , a wiser man, accompaniedby a , sickly smile and an empty can. Evident ly that was one time that a well digger struck water when he least expected it. The city marshal's attention is respectfully called to the dammed, filthy, condition that is, the filthy condition of. the dammed gutters on Main street. . Suppose a person while wearing his best clothes would unthoughtedly get on a jam boree, become tangled up and land , in the gutter, what would be the. result? Certainly a damaged suit, if not a suit for damage. The next hobo that the recorder sentences to hard labor for life, give him a shov el, put him to work in the rrutter. and if he is young and strong, and should live long 1 enough, he will rescue at least one gutter from ob livion before his sentence expires. . If the supply of hobos are at present exhausted, run some fellow in on suspicion of thinking about getting on a "jag," place him at one end of the gutter, put a shovel in his hands, and tell him to dig to the other end. where " liberty n waits him not the eiwash Liberty but freedom, the emblem of which is the star-spangled-American-eagle, flapping his wings. But then do just as you like Jlmroie, I don't pay all the city taxes. SrBiBHi.UR. HELIX HERALDINGS. f -. Helix, Or., Nov. 1, 1893..
