I'd Mlchell traded, this week, his
half interest in the Heppner Giuette to
Milton Harlan for the Skaminia County
Pioneer, published at Stevenson, Wash.
Our business relations with Mr. Michell
hsve been very agreeable and we regret
bis leaving and wish for him success in
his new field. We understand that Mr.
Harlan is a newspsper man of consider
able experience and doubtless the
Gazette will succeed as before under bis
and Mr. Warnock's management.
W. O. Minor writes us that his Short
horns are doing extraordinary well this
yesr owing to the abundance of greeu
feed. His hay crop will be a heavv one,
aud he writes that it may be necessary to
borrow some outside land to make room
for the hay blacks. Mr. Minor carries
the record for potato stories aud hay
yarns, but he usually convinces one of
the truthfulness of his assersions, so we
believe he can cut more hay off a 40 acre
field than he can stack on the same land
with a long handle hay fork. But it
must be some of that "Long Grass" he
grows on his Mountain Valley farm, so
long that bis farm is not wido enough to
stack it ou. Rural Spirit.
Funeral of M. Llchtenthal.
The Inneral of M. Lielitenthal, who
shot himself on Wednesday, was held
at the family residence, on West Center
street, hiHt Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
and was very largely attended. Hev.
II. L. lteightol of the M. K. church
preached the funeral sermon. The
services were conducted on the lawn
of his beautiful home, aud were very
impressive.
A procession headed by thi Odd
Fellows, Kehrkahs, Kniuhts of Pythia
and Maccabeus, orders of which the
deceased was a member, formed at the
residence, aud behind these a large
number of carriages followed the re
mains to their last resting place in the
lleppner cemetery.
The services tit the cemetery were
conducted by the 1. O. O. F.
Mr. l.iclitenlliiil was born near Ther-
essel, (icrntanv, N-ntemlier JH. 1S4.
He came to this country when a young
man, aud for many years has been en-
Haired in the shoe lmsine-s in lleppner,
having the only exclusive boot and shoe
store in the citv.
He has since engaging in the business
enjoyed a good trade, lieing of geniel
deposition was well liked by all. He
was time times elected treasurer of
this County, bis third te;in expiring the
day he slut himself.
He owned considerable realcstate in
Heppner besides bis shoe business and
carried a $:i(MK) life insurance policy in
the Maccabees.
oc.ured Wednesday Iu the northeastern
partol the county when sixty bead of
sheep lieloiiginif to Davis A Kly were
killed, Th' se sheep are fnvn tlifl state
of Washington, bat had been brought
acro-s the, line lo the I'.lue mountain
ranges. Also there ar some cattle
being ranged in this territory. Wednes
day, so it is alleged, three cattlemen set
their dogs on a bund of sheep ami chased
them into a ravine where they re
"piled" and sixty head killed before the
herder could get them straightened out.
Mr. Kly, one of the owners of the sheep,
arrived in Pendleton yesterday for the
purpose of securing aid from the sutor
llies. He says he knows who the cattle
men were and it is believed that he has
strong case against them. No warrants
have as yet been sworn out by Mr. Ely.
This Is the first serious planh between
the two stock interests to occur in this
county this year. While there have
been numerous reports of the slaughter
of sheep and csttle in other counties,
Umatilla has been peaceful and it was
hoped that there would be amicable
settlement of a'l disputes. But now
that the war has broke out the author
ities intend to put a stop to It if pos
sible. Pendleton Tribune. j
Safeguard the Children. !
Notwithstanding all that is done by
boards of health and charitable Inclined
persons , the death rate among small
children is very high during the hot
weather of the summer months in the
large cities. There is not probably one
case of bowel complaint in a hundred,
however, that could not be cured by the
timely use of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Iiemedy. For
sale by Slocum Drug Co. I
Cloudburst at Mitchell. !
One third of the town of Mitchell, in
Wheeler county, was destroyed by a
flood 25 feet high, which poured down
the narrow canyons of Bridge and Mill
creeks at 6 o'clock Monday evening, and
which was caused by a tremendous
waterspout at the headwaters of these
two streams. j
Martin Smith and a women named 1
Mrs. Bethune, both aged people of about
ill), were drowned. The remaining in
habitants of the flooded' district were !
barely able to escape the flood. i
Twenty-eight buildings, located in the '
canyon bottom directly in the flood's
path, were .otnpletely wiped out by the !
wall of water. Three of the buildings ;
flooded out were business blocks, the re-!
mainder being residences. Mitchell is j
a town of about 200 inhabitants.
Judge A. B. Parker of New York, was
unanimously nominated by the demo- j
cystic convention at St. Louis forpresi-i
denl. Senator H. G. Davis, of West
Virginia, waa nominated lor vice-president.
One Lady's Recommendtion Sold ;
Fifty Boxes of Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets J
I have, I believe, sold fifty boxes of '
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver ,
Tablets on the recommendation of one
lady here, who first bought a box of
them about a year ago. She never tires !
of telling her neighbors and friends
about the good qualities of these tablets.

tablets makes them a favorhe with Indies

The extremely heavy rains Monday
night caused Willow, Hhea, Hititon, and
other smaller streams to overflow their
banks, and the result is that very much
of the hay crop and gardens along the
valley was destroyed and a number of
bridges spanning the streams were wash
ed out.
On upper Hititon creek T. J. Matlock
lost part of his hay crop and garden in
the valley. Thirty tons of hay in the
stack was also duiuiged some. D. Cox.
Joe Rector and others lost considerable
hay. Ou WilloM creek J. M. I lager.
Geo. Currin and others lost a considerable
quanity of hay in the field. On Rhea
creek some loss of hay is also reported,
but nowhere is there au enormous loss,
A few small bridges also went out, but
the great benefit to crops will doubtless
overbalance the damage sustained.
The storm did not approach a cloud
burst, only a heavy straight rain. True
people of lleppner were heightened more
or less, owing to last years flood. The
llcppn.r branch train did not go out
Tuesday morning owing to a weakened
bridge near Lexington which was soon
repaired.
Geo. French, who recently leased the
Thus. Quaid place above town for a term
of three yevrs, reports that the damage
to his hay crop from the heavv rains is
not nearly so great as has been reported
