The case of Mrs. Pahl is a sorrowful one. Two years ago her, husband, Tim Pahl, committed suicide by hanging, and ever since that time the wife had brooded and worried over the matter until she has become deranged. The nature of her hallucination is that she believes some enemy had killed her hus band and afterwards hung him to make sure of death. She also fears that the same men who killed her husband now want to marry her. During the "past month she has refused to eat scarcely anything and has been troubled with in somnia. ; Mrs. Pahl, during all her afflictions, has worked hard to support her young children, five in number, but the strain and worry over the death of her hus band have proven too much, and dur ing the past day or two has been seri ously deranged. The county has been giving her pact support for the past year. The four remaining children will doubtless be cared for by the Boys and Girls' Aid Society. In the absence of County Judge Hart man the examination was made before Judge Thomas Fitzgerald. Mrs. Pahl and son were taken to Salem this morn ing by Sheriff Taylor and two assistants. C W.

SUBSCRIPTION, $2.00 PER YEAR N NUMBER 24 THE PICTURE MAN GOT "HIS" OUT AT CHARLEY BROTHERTON'S RANCH Endeavored to Force Pictures on Mr. Brotherton That Were Order- ' ed by Other Parties. There is a foxy vendor of enforced pictures going around with an enlarged head. The enlargement of the said vendor's head is due to the hard milling fist of Charles Brotherton, the big, husky farmer up the flat. If reports are true the foxy picture man "reached and got his." It is said that this particular individual is not only obnoxious to an aggravating degree, but has a patroniz ing way about him that is particularly annoying, especially to women. This is not, his first visit here, and there is one lady in town who had an ex perience with him last fall that , if he should attempt again his head will not only be enlarged, but broken as well. The incident in question was that the fellow virtually pushed his way. into the room after being told that no pictures were wanted. The lady finally asked to be excused as she had house work to perform, whereupon the fellow insolent ly replied, "Oh! certainly, I'll excuse you," and departed. .

And when Charles got 'through with him no was willing to say that he had a Dlenty and the pictures went with him when he left. TJpton-Dobson..
