Grating at Pandora, died at 1870 a. m.
yesterday, from wounds received at
the hands of an unknown assassin
while playing cards in the office builI-
ing of the company late Wednesday
night Death was expected from the
start and the marvel is that the strick-

he died were his wife, his brothers,
George and Edgar A Collins, Drs.
Ochsner, Freeman, Jaynes, Nurse Lena
Strauss and Benjamin Lawrence and
Jacob Fillius. president and attorney
respectively for the company The
last moments were particularly sad
Mrs. Collins was prostrated, but she
had in n measure been prepared for
the worst.
Mrs. Collins left Telluride on the
regular train at S:15 this morning. ac-
companied by Mrs. A. B. Blainey,
Mrs. Collins brother, Charles Becker;
Edgar Collins, her husbands brother,
and Dr. Freeman of Denver. The body

prepared announcement from the
bench"
The move. one Of the most import
ant in the whole history of the coal
strike, created a mild sensation when
1t became known. The surprise was
all the greater from the fact that num-
erous persons. from the President of
the United States down, and many Or
ganizations, from the National Civic
Federation to the small boards of trade
of the small mining towns, had failed
to bring the two parties together. II
was all brought about by both sides
seeing that the proceedings before the
commission would be lnterminable and
in the intermingling of the lawyers
for both sides the outside agreement
proposition was broached and taken
up.
Wayne MacVeagh. who carried on
such a brilliant cross-eXamination of
President Mitchell, is given credit for
bringing about the present situation.
He went to New York after he had
finished with Mr.. Mitchell. and had a
conference with certain persons con-
nected with the coal industry. among
them, II is rumored. J. p Morgan. He
was in New York to-day in connection
with the matter.
In order 10 give all parties an op-
portunity TO confer ON the state OF af-
fairs an adjournment was taken until
tomorrow morning. II Is probable
that a suggestion for n week or ten
days adjournment will be adopted.
All the large companies have not
yet assented to the proposed outside
agreement. but In all probability they
will consent TO work MS n unit. as they
did during the strike.

Oregon Counties.

The largest county in the State
of Oregon is Harvey, with an area
of 1886 miles; second in size is
Malheur, with 97S4 and third IN
size IS Lake with 1884.
The smallest county in the state
of Oregon is Multnomah, with only
429 square miles of territory. In
Oregon are nine counties with over
5000 square miles, and eight with
less than 1000 square miles each.
The nine largest are Douglas,
1861; Grant, 1850; Harvey, 1886;
Klamath, 1880; Lake, 1884; Crook,
1855; Lane, 1880; Malheur, 9704;
Umatilla, BIG. Union had 3146
miles before loosipg the Panhandle,
but this addition to Baker did not
place her on the list with the nine
largest. The eight counties having
less than 1000 square miles are
Multnomah, 429; Benton, 677;
Clatsop, $50; Columbia, 677; Polk,
701; Sherman, 1876; Washington,
us, and Yamhill, I'll. When it is
remembered that Rhode Island
contains only 1893 square miles,
the magnitude of Oregon seems
almost incredible. Yet Rhode Is
land has the same strength in the
United States senate as Oregon,
ninety times her superior in area.

Heppner Carried of the HOnOrS to
the Tune Of II to o.

Thanksgivning day was an ideal day
for football game, ard Heppner peo-
witnessed nice game.
The Lexington team came to Heppner
early in the day prepared to meet our
, boys on their own grounds and give
them the humiliation of defeat in pro-
per shape, while our boys were equally
intent on dragging the Lexington colors
through the mud to defeat. With these
intentions the two teams lined mp on
the depot grounds shortly before three
O'Clock, p. m., and Referee Stanton
called the game.
Jack Matlock of the famous 1900 team,
which was no doubt the strongest team
in Eastern Oregon and Washington
and as good as any in the state, um'
PRED in most satisfactory manner.
Henry Beckett of the home team was
power behind the line as a line
plunger, carrying the ball for big yard
age most every time.
Parker, Lexington's big fnllback,
was equally as good, but lacked support.
Frank Spauding made the first touch
down by an end run, Wickersham put
ting up and elegant piece eofinterference.
Spaulding also Kick ed the goal. Shortly
after in a mix-up he received y very
bad fracture of the shoulder, which
caused him to retire from the game.
The ball was in Lexington's territory
during the first half.
The second half Lexington kicked off
to Heppner, Wickersham making nice
run to center field.
Toward the last part of the last half
Heppner forced Lalande around tackle
for touchdown.
Wickersham failed to kick the goal,
making the score II to 0 in favor Of
Heppner.
Bisbee, Ball and O'Nel carried the
ball for good yardage, while Wilcox for
Lexington also did elegant work.
The star in the line was "Yote Ril,'
or Lslande, who tore holes in Lezing-
toms liue big enough to drive q freight
team through.
All in all it was nice game and Lex
ington put up a stubborn and clean
game to the last down, which speaks
well for them. They made some great
plays at the last in advancing the ball
and made Heppner earn their score,
Heppner was weakened very much

ner's line up was as follows
