Johnny White, a little son of II.
E. White who lives on Dead Ox
Fiat, was bitten one day last week
by a shepherd dog in the lobby of
the Bank of Weiser. Angered be
cause the little fellow stepped on
him, the animal sprang upon him
savagely, and before stopping bit
his face in nine places. Dr. Water
house cared for the wounds, must
of which were not serious. One
place was badly lacerated, however,
and had to be aewed. Aside from
a few slight scars no serious results
are expected. The dog belonged to
Will Anderson, and though a great
pet and heretofore considered perfect
ly harmless, was immediately shot
by Mr. Anderson's order.
Work has been commenced on a
dam at A. H. Hand's on Monroe
creek, which, when completed, will
enable that gentleman to irrigate his
land during low water,
between $800 and $1,000, and be
built on the same principle as the
dam on the Fälligen ranch, known
as the Anderson darn. The latter
designed by A. B. Anderson.
The feature which distinguishes it is
the open space iu the center through
which the water rushes during high
water. In the summer when the
stream is low, boards are placed
the opening and covered with
tar paper, raising the water to any
desired height.
