The damage suit, wherein A. C.
Churchill sued Jeremiah Osborn for
$ 000 damages, came off at McMinnville
last 1'uesdav and as might have been
expected the jury found a verdict for the
defendant.
Damage suits very rarely
amount to anything more than the
piling up of costs in cases of this kind.
The case was stubbornly contested by
Cake & Cake of Portland for the prose
cution and Woodward & Palmer for the
detendant.—New betg Graphic.

Miss Eftie Frazier, aged about 2i)
years, and well known in the vicinity of
McCoy and Amity, shot herself at her
home four miles southeast of Amity
about 7 o’clock Wednesday morning.
The deed was performed in a vacant
room while her brother was absent at
the barn. She was found lying beside a
box, upon which she is presumed to have
sat while she held the gun ami pushed
back the trigger with a stick. She lived
but a short time, the charge taking ef
fect above the heart. The motive which
prompted the young woman to take her
own life is not known. There is a slight
presumption that she was despondent
over the fact that her lover was absent as
a soldier in the Philippines. She was
the daughter of L. B. Fiazier.
