I Automobilist and Oregon Horse. The town of Bend has caught the automobile craze and some of the residents of Crook county are becom ing quite enthusiastic. A good story Is told on the man who bought the 1 first automobile to Bend. He was from the Eust and had been an auto mobile fiend since the Introduction of the machine. On his trip to Bend he encountered many difllcultles and when within a few miles of Bend his machine quit on him entirely. He was compelled to walk to Bend where he remained over night and got food nnd rest. The next day he hired a saddle horse and started back to his auto. Not being famil iar with Oregon horses the animal Boon became convinced that his rid er was "easy" and finally balked. The automobilist tried In valn,to, start the horse from his seat. He then Jumped to the ground, got down on his all-fours and crawled under the horse to see what the mat ter was. Any Oregonlan familiar with the" Eastern Oregon Baddle horso knows what happened, with out telliug.auy more. Work commenced Monday on Wat er street bridge across tho big flume. For some time tho stringers aud floor of tho bridge have- beeu lu a dangerous condition, but tho roads were so bad that lumber to repair it with could not bo hauled. The town council is also considering the best means of repairing tho street at tho north-west corner of tho school house lot.

The Heryford-McC&rty Case. The second trial of Birdie N. Mc carty vs. Jas. IX Heryford for breach of promise will come up for trial in Tortland Juno 1st. The case was tried last year and the jury award ded MlssMcCarty damages to the amount of ? 22,500. Miss McCarty sued for $70,000. The judge set aside the verdict, sayingthatlt was gross ly excessive and appeared to have been given under the Influence of passion or prejudice. Miss McCarty after the trial begun, alleged seduc tion, which charge was thought to have been trumped up for the pur pose of gaining the sympathy of the jury. The evidence showed that Mr. Heryford, after writing Miss McCar ty that he could not go east to mar ry her and if it was her wish to live in the East, she must do so without him, finally concluded to fulflill his promise if she would come to Iieuo, where he would meet here and thero be married. He sent her a draft for $200 to pay her expenses to Reno, tor this purpose, and she cashed the check and placed the money In a bank to her credit, then proceeded to sue for $70,000 more. The facts In the case are not news to our readers as they were given lu all tho papers a year ago. What the trial should end In we do not pretend to say, but Mr, Heryford's many friends In this country ure anxious that Justice bo done in the matter.
