R Rev Stuart, the Invalid ton of r j Kmart, the O P rustler, had a most . uliijn escape from death last Wed j.., lie 1 at Yaqulna City, with athcr, and on the day mentioned was o n in the bav on an old acow playing In the water. He heard the report of a ri a on the hill above and soon alter the hnliet struck hl boat. He raised up to m who was shootlni, and as he did turned his head to one side. That uncon scious turn saved his life, for at that Instant another bullet, from a 38 Winches ter, plowed through his hat, taking one aid out and just grazing his hair. Several day before a cougar had been seen in that vicinity and the first Impression the little fellow had was the shooters had mist? ken bias for that animal and were shooting at him. He was nearly frightened out of his wits and dropping his crutch walked without It, the first time In many months, and made rapid tracks for home. I. was afterwards learned that the shooters were firing for practice at a target, and Roy, unknown to them, was playing directly in range but several hundred yards away. A Tramp Got It. We were Informed last week thtt as Jas Alexander and wife, living a few miles south of town, were starting for rJuena Vista, she put $100, which belonged to their children, in a amall satchel uud placed it on the scat be aide her, and on nearlng Buena Vista they discovered that the satchel was missing. They as quickly ns possible retraced their steps to search for the same, But could not find it It Is thought that a tramp who was seated by the road as they passed near Ben Huntley's place, must have ound it, as he was seen by Mr Huntley tinning across the grain fields toward Monmouth.
