injury.
Friends Of those In the party were

there was much excitement in the diff

Inquiry at the Spokane hotel, where
DR.. Bull resides, today disclosed that
he was confined to his bed, badly
bruised, but that no bones had been
broken. He refused to discuss the
matter for the papers, and gave or
ders to Captain j. G. McClelland, who
was in attendance. that nothing
should be said about the matter.
At Brunot hall information was
also denied beyond the mere state
ment that Miss Bailey was confined
to her bed, although she was not Sc

Similar denials and attempts to

were made elsewhere.

ment In an evening paper that Spo-

suffering and affiicted in the wrecked
town of Heppner because "Heppner
lay In Portland's territory" and Spo-

fathered their sentiments placing
