Aunt Rachael Willard, one of the oldest residents of Coquille City and vicinity, now residing on a ranch on Beaver slough, met with a fearful experience from an infuriated cow last Tuesday evening. She was milking the cow, which had always seemed gentle and peaceable before, but at this time, about as Mrs. Willard was half through milking, the cow suddenly turned upon her, knocked her over, pawed savagely at her and tried to pinion her with its horns. While the cow was thus injuring Mrs. Willard, a little 12-year-old daughter of Will Tennison’s happened to be near with a dog, and the little girl and the dog assailed the cow, succeeding in driving her away. The little girl took her dog and went over an isolated and brushy trail to the logging camp and notified Roll Anderson of the affair, who hurried to the place and managed to get the old lady to her house and summon a physician. Dr. J. B. Moore is in attendance, and although at first the condition of the old lady was precarious and the chances seemed against her recovery, at this writing she is considerably improved. Undoubtedly but for the bravery of the little girl, and the assistance of the dog, Mrs. Willard would have been mangled to death by the vicious cow before help could have reached her. Later advices are that Mrs. Willard is still improving. [Headline:” Almost Killed by a Mad Cos. [as typed; did it say that, or cow?] [M. note. Aunt to Leander Panter. Girl’s name was Daisy Tennison.

If the ceiling had been low, the blaze must have undoubtedly set it on fire, while the persons present were busy extinguishing the dripping flames.

What was at first supposed to be an “accidental shooting” occurred in the vicinity of Beaver Hill last Wednesday between boys, one Henry Jarne, aged about 12 years, and a youth whose name we did not learn. The boys had been out hunting, but returning got to shooting at a tin can. Jarne’s companion, it seems was close to the can, and the boys having quarreled and passed harsh names at each other, the next load from Jarne’s gun lodged in his companion’s hip, making a painful though not serious wound and indicating that there might have been some intention to get even with his associate. + [cp] School name outside-Tot supp-r CCH Dec 7, 1897 Students Normal School Ashland: Misses Jo Beyers, Nellie Dement, Alma Johnson, Messrs.

Herald: …I’m talking about the contest for the marshal’s in and for the town of Marshfield. The railroad management and its suckers think they have gained a great victory over the people. The fact is, if Carter had been nominated by any other than the great housetop Republicans, he would have beaten Elrod 30 votes. Another drawback to Carter was the importation from Coquille City to help run Marshfield business in the interest of the railroad. Mr. Carter is a popular man. I don’t suppose he has an enemy in the town, and will be a good officer. Mr. Elrod has made a good, efficient officer, and by the faithful discharge of his duty has caused the enmity of a number of men who worked against him for re-election. This fact, together with the railroad money buying up the floating, ignorant vote, and Mr. Carter’s popularity was more than Elrod could overcome. Add to this again the imported rounders from Coos river, Coquille City, Skagawa [sic], Kentuck slough, with the railroad parasites, great and small, in Marshfield, who would sell the town if, by so doing, they could bask in the smiles of this young and healthy octopus, and you have a sample of the influences that the masses have to contend against. Marshfield has received a taste of what Coos county may expect to receive from this corporation in our next general election. If the people do not want Coos county to be in the same position that the town of Beaver Hill is, i.e. a one-man government, said people must be on the alert and not stick too close to party lines, but vote for men who will do their duty both to the people and to the railroad company. The railroad company has no politics, it will use its influence for the men it thinks it can use to the best purposes. + [cp] == Nosler school health misc-word CCHsupp-s December 14, 1897.

One is to the effect that a change of management is on the tapis; while it is certain that an inspection of the affairs of the company and experting of the management is on, whether of good of ill-boding is only known to the principals. All contracts are said to be suspended and the mines will be shut down.
