MOSIER BREEZES To the Editor: George Barnett left here last week for Portland and in a few days he will start back to his old home in Illinois, where he expects to stay. Mr. Husbands lost some hay last Monday by fire which was started by the train. It is very dry now and people who have hay along the railroad, should burn fire guards. School closed at District No. 8 last Friday. The patrons of the school came in and at noon spread such a table that it takes to delight the little folks and bachelors and in fact, all who enjoy rich eatables. After eating all they wished there was enough left for as many more. The children had prepared a good entertainment, which was enjoyed by all. The teacher then made a short report, which was about as follows: Total number enrolled, 25; average attendance, 22; total number of tardy, 17; those neither tardy nor absent were, Rozella Root, Nora Root, Edna Root, Benard Sellinger and Adaline Sellinger. Everybody seemed well pleased and went away with many new things to think about. The school in District No. 52, having an invitation, dismissed and came. There will be a picnic on the Fourth at the old campmeeting ground by the bridge,on Mosier creek. I understand there will be a dance at Hardwicks at night. Charley Phillips is on the sick list now. He was taken very bad suddenly, but is on the mend now. Albert Sutton began work in the mines last week. BRIEF MENTION Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle Reporters The has been a change in stewards on the Regulator and Mr. J. Buckler, who has been steward for some time, is no longer in that position. Mr. Buckler will probably leave the city. He has made many friends both in town and with the traveling public who regret to see him go. The sad news was received last night of the death of Mrs. George Friend, which occurred yesterday morning at Kingsley (Oregon). Mrs. Friend was only 22 years of age, and died leaving a husband and small child to mourn her loss. She was universally beloved by the residents of Kingsley neighborhood, and the sorrow of her death is universal. The ubiquitous Caroline got on a drunk yesterday and proceeded to empty the vials of her wrath on the passersby. Nightwatch Frank Connelly and Constable Urquhart appeared with an express wagon and Caroline was given an inexpensive ride to the city jail. She would be a good subject for a temperance lecture to expatiate upon the evil that too much indulgence in strong drink can do. Last night as the hose companies were practicing on Third street Don Fisher, who was one of the runners, stumbled and fell. The hose, which was being reeled out, struck him on the head and for a brief moment rendered him unconscious. He was quickly picked up and carried to the sidewalk, where after a short time he recovered his breath and save for feeling very weak, was quite himself again. Mr. LePere, a farmer living seven miles west of town, was severely injured yesterday in a runaway a short distance from Chenoweth creek. The horses becoming frightened started to run and overturned the wagon. Mr. LePere was thrown out and his arm dislocated. Two of his ribs were broken. His injuries are quite severe and it is yet impossible to tell whether or not he has not been internally hurt. The mayor has made two excellent appointments in the names sent to the council last night. Mr. G.W. Phelps, who will occupy the recorders chair, is a young man raised in The Dalles and possessed of great popularity. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan law school and already has won for himself wide repute as a young man of good character and ability. Mr. Phelps has held the office of deputy prosecuting attorney and in filling that position has shown good judgment, tact and legal ability. He is one of the most promising young men in Wasco county. Mr. Connelly has made a fine record for himself in fulfilling the duties of night watchman and there is no one but is heartily glad that the council has recognized his fitness and selected him again for the position. To both these officers The Chronicle extends congratulations.
