Hardly bad tbe excitement died away

Nellie Cornett a 16-year-old girl, bad
left her home Sunday night for parts
unknown, -
It seems that a certain young man,
whom her father objected to was pay
ing some attention to her; she still in
dulged in the keeping of his company,
from which the old -severely flogged
her, some 8 or 10 days ago, and from
which she still carries the marks.
Last Sunday she was caught la the
young man's company again, her
father being absent, the mother pro
ceeded to administer the flogging, and
so dextrously did she wield the birch
that the girl swore she would drown
herself ere the sun rose. Whether she
has carried out her theats or not yet
is unknown. Tbe last seen of her was
about 11 o'cIoce where she was trying
to borrow a horse to ride away on.
She didn't suoceed and no more Is
known. Her mother, on hearing of
this swooned away and at this time is
in a critical condition, from heart
failure.

with the promise that she would sUy
if they would not beat her any more.

would not.

at once. He took the hint and left
without delay. It is said a coat of tar
and feathers was awaiting him had he
remained. Herald.

was in Lebanon a couple of days this
week. Mr. Archibald has some warm
friends in Lebanon. He Is a gentleman

clerk, and If elected, will make as good
a clerk as Linn county bos ever had.

his business success; as a citizen; his
religious life aud his marriage.

THAT STOCK LAW.
The Citizens of Eastern Linn County Do
Not Want the Prohibitory Law on Stock.
To the Editor op the Kxprehs:
In this county there are thousands
of acres of public land, from which It
receives no benefit, except as It fur
nishes an opportunity the mauy
families, that have settled In the foot
hills to raise stock. The sum total of
the small herds add materially to the
taxable property of the couuty. No
small part of the money got for this
stock finds Its way to the merchants,
doctors and lawyers of the various
towns.
If tbe stock law is adopted, I do not
see bow many of -these families can
live at all, situated as they are. Tbere
are five of my neighbors who have
claims, but no enclosed pasture.
Neither are they able to fence, slash;
and burn, to keep their stock. Asit Is
now they are hardly able to buy school
books and clothing for their children.
Now let them have the same chance
that others have had, on the principle
of "live, aud let live," these dwellers
of the foothills should not be deprived
of their range.
It may be right to have tbe law on
the prairie where all is fenced if neces
sary, but to deprive men living in tbe
mountains from using tbe range seems
to be playing the game of "dog in tbe
manger."
Iu many states It is left to townships
to vote, whether or not stock shall ruu
at large. If the interests of Linu
county are so diverse, would it not be
well to change the stock law? The
present law is unfortunate as to the
time of its enforcement. Fall and
spring are the seasons to sell stock, or
to arrange for pasture. When thislaw
comes into effect, men will be following
the binder and thresher, have neither
time to look up their stock, or place te
put them, nor market in which to sell
tbeni. In interest of fair play do not
adopt the law now. Do not deprive
these people of their little stock money;
there is not bop picking moueyin
sight. A Taxpayer.
