The rain was quite general over the Heppner Flat and Eight Mile sections but was of short dura tion. Farmers from Eight Mile are feling quite good over what rain fell out that way as it is going to benefit the late Spring grain and cause the tatcrs to enlarge.

Dr. Winnard patched up the injured member and Joe thinks he will put it up to his wife to get the kindling hereafter. Ernest Hunt was going about on tin ee legs the most of he past week, because of a mixup with a team and self binder out at the Bob Thompson ranch. Ernest was driving a team consisting of two mules and one horse, and the horse becoming frightened caused the mules to go wrong also, and there was a lively race down the hill, a collision with the fence and a "spill" for Mr. Hunt. He fortunately got out of the trouble with only a badly bruised hip, but the mnchino was badly demolished, looking very much like a pile of old scrap iron as a result. Ernest says that If his team had been all mules there would have been no trouble. Ruin Came Down in Sheet. Henry Stender and son were up from their farm northwest qf Jone yesterday, the young man appearing before the local draft board to take his examination. Mr. Stender states that the storm of last week did 1)im but little damage, there being no hall at his place. The rain, however, came down In sheets and "was driven by a fierce, wind, this having the effect of breaking down much of the wheat. He was busy in the field with his heading at the time. The water raised several feet in the gulch passing his house. While the storm was at its height the water raged down the canyon to such a depth that there was no chance whatever of getting over. Mr. Stender had a large portion of his grain headed and the damage to his crop was light as. a consequence. Moonshiner Captured. Ben Jerrell, the moonshiner, who escaped at the time of the recent raid on Butter creek, was raptured Saturday by Sheriff T. D. Taylor at Sanders, Ida. The sheriff received a Mp that Jarrell was in that vicinity and left Friday evening, reaching Tekoa Saturday morning, where he secured a team and drove rut tr Sanders, about 20 miles southeast of Tekoa, and found his man out in the woods hunting squirrels. When he received the command to surrender, he quit at once and returned with Mr. Taylor without any trouble whatever and is now in the county bastile awaiting further action of the courts. Jerrell told one of the men in jail here that he spent four days in Heppner while the officers were scouring the countryside for him af ter ne made his escape in the dusk on the night of the raid. According to his story, he ran about 20 yards into the heavy brush and then laid down. When the searchers passed beyond him, he doubled back, took a couple of drinks from a cached barrel of liquor, found a bottle and filled it and "hoofed" it to Heppner. After remaining there until he thought it was safe, he went nn tn Arlington where he remained for nve or six days more, then crossed the river and made his wav north tn where he was finally located.
