FELL FROM A BARN LOFT. Pete Beeler, a Pioneer, Expire at ' . Weston. Pete Beeler, for twenty years a resident of Weston, and well-known to all the "old-timers" of Umatilla county, and Eastern Oregon is no more. . Of late years Mr. Beeler has been addicted to the use of alcholic drink, and like many others, the habit had made of him a slave. He had recently been on a protracted spree and it was this that incidentially led to his demise. Saturday morning the old man was found in his feed stable at Weston, lying on his face in an un concious condition, by Geo. Ham ilton who had rose early - to take j the morning train. Hamilton sent for Dr. Stiles, but could do nothing for the aged suffer, who In a short time passed beyond the reach of all human aid. He was found lying on the barn floor directly underneath a hole in the loft, 12 feet from the floor, and the supposition is that some time during the night he fell through. Nn ininripsi wprn dincovered on the body except a slight Bcalp wound, not sufficient to cause death, which undoubtedly resulted from concus sion of the brain. There was no fracture of the skull. The deceased leaves several sons and daughters, all of whom are much respected, and have the deep sympathy of friends in their be freavment. The funeral occurred in Weston Sunday last at 1 o'clock. yw 1 " Lack Confirmation. . ino report mat wnse voyie uuu Vioon rinnoTArmial v irmirArl isr If illftfl mi.. l jl . l nr:l- r 1- 1 1 j j in a brawl in south-eastern Oregon recently lacks confirmation.

Mr. Coyle was seriously injured some months ago by a caving mine in southern Cali fornia and at last reports was con sidered out of danger although at one time his life was almost des paired of. by his friends, but for about a month nothing has been heard from him by relatives in this county. Nobody seems to know just where the report of his being injured of killed in a brawl originated and every presumption leads us to think that the itory was fabricated out of whole cloth. Milton Eagle. Shot In the Thigh. William Dunsett, whose home is south of Weston, had a serious mis hap short time ago, and lies at his home nursing an ugly wound. Dunsett had been hunting in ' Lost valley in the Grand Ronde coun try, and was coming back to his home on horseback and leading a packhorse. At the ford of the Um atilla the pack horse pulled back, the rope caught the hammer of his pistol and the weapon discharged a hjillet into Dunsett's thigh. There was vet 10 miles to go before reach ing home, and sorely wounded, he urged on his horses, making the painful ride alone and with great difficulty Strength of the Association. Statistican Youne. of the East em Oregon and Washington Fire- man's Association, in his annual report read in Walla Walla saidi "From eight towns I find there are 70 fire alarms with a total loss of $G9,000, and insurance of $85,000. The towns have five endues, 28 hose carts and wagons, 10 hook and ladder trucks, and 17,000 feet of hose." The association ammended the rules governing tournaments, and hereafter no officer or director shall be allowed to compete as a mem ber of a team in the races. New Dryer to be Erected, Berry Gholson,' who has one of the most extensive orchards in the valley, is contemplating tho erec tion of an extensive fruit dryer of a capacity of five tons a day. This has become necccssary because of the immenso quality of fruit Mr. Gholson proiuces annually, for he has forty acres of prunes alone, every tree which is loadod with fruit. Mr. McMinn, who found his , dryer too Btnall, has enlarged it to a soven-ton per day capacity, and between these two dryers they will have all they can do to take care of this season s fruit.

Heretofore the Snake river has been a barrier between the squirrel swarming country to the north and Walla Walla county, out it is so no more. The ferrymen and farm ers in the vicinity of Lyons' ferry report that the pesky little rodents are swimming the Snake river by thousands and as soon as they get across immediately attack the grow ing grain. Something must be done at once or the entire country will be captured by them . There is no doubt that they swim across the river, for the ferrymen gay they see them. The Branch Asylum. The Elgin Recorder Bays: "Tho Eastern Oregon branch asylum case is sleeping quietly in the state courts while insane peisons in this section of the state are being con veyed to the already over-crowded institution at Salem, at consider- able more expense than what it would be were the branch asylum In running order, aa it should long since been. But this fact isn't opt to cause much worry or loss of sleep to the party who bandies the $140,000 that wa appropriated for the construction ot the branch asy lum, and if the matter can be kept dragging along in the courts until the next regular session of the leg islature the interest on the appro priatsons for the four years would make some one " independently rich.
