The Credit Lesson From a Farmer and His Wheat

Origin of Tolleston Name Traced to Madstone Discovery
Otto C. Borman of Tolleston explains the towns name derives from Tollestone a deer madstone found by George Tolle after killing a buck. The stone known as Tolles stone spread regionally and the name shortened to Tolleston. He notes the madstone now in Dyer and describes its color change on application. An old deer tree at Third Avenue and Chicago Street near Tolleston is said to be about a century old.

Killing Cougars Saves Deer in Oregon
The Portland Oregonian reports that killing cougars saves deer, estimating each cougar causes about 50 deer deaths yearly and some claim up to 100. Nine cougar skins were taken by Winters and Thompson in a two week hunt, with two large skins sold for mounting. The duo forfeited a $1 state bounty per animal due to a law requiring the fore paw be cut off.
