A IIATtU WITH Flit K A It .MS,
A shooting match occurred between
Isaac Ranta and Mr. Williams, his

which Mr. Banta received a slight
wound in the hand.' Mr. Isaac llauta
and Wife It appears have lived amicably
together until rwent times, when his
actions under the Influence of liquor
became sn unbearable and threatening

with hrr parch V, Mr. and Mrs Wil

curred Tuesday. Melvin Williams, who
was in the cow yard when Bantu
tillered the premises, told him not to

plied with an oath that he would go
where ho pleased. A he came into
the front yard, Mr. Williams, who wps
s'.andiu; on the perch, v.rrned him

Lebanon was thrown Into a thror
Wednesday by an Incident which al
though laughable to the spectators
would have proved serious to one party
had he not beaten a hasty retreat. For
about three weeks a young man who
ought to have h!sh ilrcut at the expense
of the State, has been lounging about
town with no other apparent busiue s
then that of planning mischief and
concocting evil. It Is generally under
stood that he was an abettor of the
Bunt i-Willlams shooting aflVay Tues
day. He had in various ways made
himself extremely odious to Ihe public,
but the climacteric jHiiut was not
reached until he, in a written and au
thoritative manner, warned one of our
esteemed cilUens, John Banta, to leave
town under penalty of rough usage.
Anlncenwsl public, on Wednesday,
provided a rope for the avowed purpose
of hanging themlscrtaut. John Banta
opened the play by charging on thv
u ictch at the Ft. Charles He ran up
stairs cli-sely followed by several men,
but he succeeded ill making his pscnie
by jumping fn.ui a second-story win
dow. '1 he last w en of hhn he was g

he readies a' clime more c ugcnial

Another runaway occured lust Fri
day. Misses Ida and Lelin West fall
and Mamie Swan were returning from
Waterloo iu a one-horse, buggy when
Ihe horse took fright iu front of Mrs.
Ballard's residence, wheeled suddenly
about and threw Ml-s Mamie out of
the vehicle and ran across lots to the
residence of Mr. Westfall, where he left
the buggy and the two remaining ot
cupants. Miss Swan escaped with
slight bruises, the sisters were not hurt,
but the buggy will have to undergo
reiairs.
Montague must lie preparing for a
boom, judging by the way he is slock
ing up his Mammoth and One-Price
Cash Stores. By purchasing his goods
in such large quantities he naturally
gets much lower prices. . He guaran
tees good goods in all the departments
of his extensive establishments at
prices that absolutely astonish other
merchants in the valley, some of them
going so far as to say that Montague
retails his goods as low as they buy
them at wholesale. The careful buyer
invariably goes to Montague's.
"What is to be done with the thistles
now iu bloom along our streets and in
the vacant lots?" Ex. We would
suggest the introduction of a few busi

do not thrive on the same street.

the cause of hU cmUrntbiu to Oregon
Is the string; nt ptohlbillou laws of the

a I wait as much winding up.
Hut, with all his faults, be has a few
mleemlng qualities. He Is not cranky
on religion nor polities, and never slay's
up until 1 o'clock in the morning to
practice "The Sweet Bye and Bye" on
a brass horn.
The remale codlln moth Is very fond
of music, especially the Italian era,
and It Is said that the male never k-s

female Is also fond of ornaments and
