On this rail the boys rode to keep the load from capsiz- inc. while Mr. Hale rode on the brake- block. All might have gone well hadU not the wheels slid down some distance! and oue of the hind ones dropped into g chuck-hole. Then the wagon went over.j Mr. Hale sang out to the boys to jump off the rail. Johnnie did so, but Henry ( lung t j it. As he went over the spring from the rail Bhot him through tlfe air a distance of fifty feet, throwing him with terrific force against the side of a cabin. The unfortunate boy struck on his head and shoulders, cracking the snakes out of which tho building is constructed.

A band of 130 hed from the John Day country, owned by Mr. Gilman, passed through Heppner last Sunday, bound for Montana. A great many horses have this spring been driven out of the country tributary to Willow creek, and we hear of several more bands to go, but it is impossible to give exact figures in the case. Hon. J. B. Sperry has heard from his band of horses, which left here for Mon tana a few weeks ago in charge of Geo. Ayers. They had reached Boise City, aud were gettiug along all right. Mr. Sperry intends to go through over the Northern Pacific Railroad and get to Montana ahead of the band, to super intend their sale. J. W. Greenwood, accompanied by E. M. Barlow, started this week with a band of 250 head of horses, which they will drive to tho Canyon creek country, be tween the Yellowstone and Musselshell rivers, in Montana, where Mr. Green wood has a horse-ranch. Some of these horses were bought from Mr. Crawford, on Butter Creek, at $10 a head. The balance were bought of Chas. E. Hinton, administrator of the estate of the late John Hinton, to which they belonged, at $41.50 a head. Considering the quality of the horses, Mr. Greenwood secured bargains in both purchases. They will be driven by way of Boine City, THE STEER CASE. Tho rjliaunary examination before S luire Mi llory last Friday in the case of Goo. Olson and John Michaels, charged w ith the larceny of a steor from Thos. Morgan, resulted in their ac quittal. It was shown in evidence that r. very natural mistake had been made. Mr. Michaels noticed a young steer on the range branded Z. He afterwards asked Mr. Nordyke whose steer that was, and as ho speaks with a strong Gerrnnn p.ncer.t, the latter gest-lenr.u understood him to Hpeak of tho C brand, and told him it w.iti Mr. Cochran's. Mr. Michaels sent word to Mr. Cochran by tho stage driver, and received permission to butch er the steer. He then sent Geo. Olsen after-it, and it was butchered before the mistake was discovered. The court do cided that it was all a mistake, and upon Mr. Michaels paying Mr". Morgan $50 for the steer, the ease- was dismissed. In the absoucoof all Heppne. s professional lawyers, C. M. Mallory conducted the prosecution and James Hagar the de fense. FAST SHEARING A party of six shearers, consisting of Harry Bennett, Ed. Cox, Jas. Farrier, Carl Crow, Marion Knox and Henry Scherzinger one day last week sheared 750 sheep at the ranch of Silas French, on Dry Kock creek. This is an average of 125 each, and if the supply of sheep had not given out, they might have brought the number up to 150 each. Ed. Cox led the list with 152. If any other ctjw outdone this work this season, we would like to publish their figures. Shearing is now over for this year, and the boys are taking a well-earned rest. A- RELIABLE F1BM.
