Joe Eskelson, of Lexington,
Ha3 Ribs Broken by Horse
Falling on Him Saturday.
Fred Behrena narrowly escaped death
while attempting to board the branch
line train at lone last Friday evening.
It appears that tbe train on preparing
to leave the station at lone backed
down to the water tank, a hundred
yards below the depot, and did not stop
on coming back, and by the time it got
to the station, was running about eight
miles an hour. Fred thought he could
board the train safely, hut the moment
he caught hold of the rods at tbe front
end of the rear coach he was instantly
hurled beneath the train, with tbe re
sult his bead and one arm were badly
cut, but no bones broken. He was
picked up a moment later laying across
the rail unconscious. It was thought at
first that he was dead, but that proved
untrue as be regained consciousness a
few hours later and is now on tbe rapid
road to recovery.
Beside the cuts on tbe bead and arm
he sustained severe bruises on the body.
However, the injuries are not serious
and Fred will be "himself" again in a
short time.

Death of Wllla Minor.
Miss Willa May, youogest daughter f
Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Minor, died at the
family home in this city last Wednes
day night at the age of 18 years.
Miss Minor had been a long sufferer
and her death was not unexpected.
She was born and reared in Heppner
where she was respected by all. For
two years she resided in Denver, Col.,
with the hope that her health would be
benefited, but the change did her no
permanent good. Miss Minor was of a
cheerful disposition and readily made
friends of all whom she came in contact
and will be sadly miesed in the com
munity.
The funeral service, which was held
at the All Saints Episcopal church Fri
day afternoon, was largely attended.

Echo Beets a Success.
The sugar beets raised near Echo are
now ready to go to the sugar factory at
La Grande and next week tbe work of
transporting tbem to Echo will begin,
says the Echo News.
A conservative estimate places the
crop at 600 tons and probably the con
tract for hauling them will be awarded
the Newport Land & Construction Co.
The Ireet experiment here is pro
nounced an unqualified success and it is
said that if tbe land can be secured next
year 500 acres will be planted to beets
by tbe Amalgamated Sugar Co., which
company owns tbe LaUrande factory.
