BATTLE
BETWEEN
FARMERS
Old Feud Cause of Duel on
Mill Greek

Corvallis, Ore, April 11.--A battle
royal was fought out on, Mill creek
yesterday afternoon by A. d. Huard
and E. NJ. Kimball
During the skirmish Huard relied
upon a double barrel shotgun, while
Kimball welded 38-caliber revolv-
er 3h-inch barrel. Huard took first
shot at about 30 steps range, the shot
taking effect in Kimballs face and
chest. Kimball returned the fire.
When Hurard fired the other barrel,
the charge sprinkled Kimball about
the abdomen, hands and forearm.
Kimball continued to fire until his
gun was empty, when both finding
themselves out of ammunition they
retreated in good order. Huard was
unhurt and Kimball is not seriously
injured although eight shot took eff.
feet in the face.
Bad blood has existed for some
time, and all diplomatic and other re,
lations have been cast off long ago.
The trouble Is over territory both
claim, and road which Kimball
wants to cut across the corner of HUI
ards place. No complaint will be
lodged by either of the parties.
The battle took place in front of
Huard's house ON a vacant portion of
Huard's place. The men had engaged
in war of words a few minutes be-
fore on Kimball's land. Both went to
their houses. about 200 yards. and
later Kimball started over Hurds
land, to where nelghbor was cutting
wood. Huard emerged with shot.
gun, and Kimball turned to walk
away. Kimball turned his face to
look back just in time to receive the
charge OF shot from Huard's gun. The
blood ran down Kimball's face, and 1t
is believed to be the cause of the lat.
ter's poor marksmanship.

appear to think an investigation
would be made.
The Oregon statutes, Bellinger G.
Cotton's compilation, sections 1926,
1927 and 1898. define clearly the duty
of amedical school, in relation to the
disposition of the body Of a criminal
or pauper that has passed into their
possession for scientific purposes, and
provide for the punishment of Offend
ers. The bodies of state charges can
be procured by the profession for the
purpose of investigation, in case they
are not claimed by relatives within
"a hours after death.
When the investigation has been
concluded the remains must receive
decent burial, and a fine of from 800
to 5000 may be imposed on the par
ties guilty of the breach of this pro
vision. Any person who disposes or
receives any of such remains for pur
poses other than defined by the stat
ute is guilty of a misdemeanor, and
shall be punished by fine not ex-
ceeding one year in the county jail.

NATIONS MUST
BE HELPFUL
Roosevelt Tells Scientists
No Country Should confine Itself
Within Its own Boundaries.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 20
President Roosevelt received today
about seventy-five members of the In
ternationa1 Congress of Arts and Sci.
ences, headed by the president of the
congress, Professor Simon Newcomb,
and Professor Hugo Munsterberg- In
his greeting Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Perhaps the happiest feature of our
modern world life Is the steadily in
creasing recognition of the fact that
it must be a world life; that no ma
ton can hope for the fullest develop
ment if it confines itself exclusively
within its own boundaries; that prog
s must come from a frank %recogni-
ton of the fact that each nation can
help others and can be helped by
them.
81 Feel thai not only dc associations
and gatherings such as this mean
much for the scientific, the artistic,
the intellectual development Of all the
nations taking part in them, but I feel
also that these gatherings all help to
prepare the way for the time when
the great rules of right and of equity
shall prevail among the nations, ex-
actly as they now in highly civilized
countries prevail among individuals"

THREE WAYWARD
YOUNG PEOPLE
cor INTO MORE SERIOUS TRoU-
BILE THAN THEY WERE LOOK
ING FOR THIS MORNING.

About one O'Clock this morning the
police found a boy of II, Tom Bar
tholow, and two girls, BESSIE and Mel
lie Wilson, Is and II, respectively, in
an old ~unoccupied building near the
Johns Glass Works, in the Fourth
ward. 1t seems that the Barthoiow
boys father had an linking OF the
state OF affairs and notified the police
early in the evening to arrest them.
Officers went to the place about 8
o'clock but could IL no one.
All parties live OF the East side, and
the girls say they saw the boy
across the river at the old house early
in the afternoon, n knew he would
be there at night, so about $50 they
rowed a boat acros and found him
asleep on a heap of straw. They state
that they lay down to sleep, and did
not awaken him and he did not know
of their presence until the arrival of
the officers at 1 A. M. Neither of the
three would vary from this story, yet
the a eemed 10 have no doubt of
their guilt. After Solicitor Stanley
had finished his examinations, Attor-
ney DeShie1ds, for the Humane So
ciety, informed the mayor that by a
recent act, girls under is could be re-
ceived in the Industrial Home and con
fined until they reach their majority.
At this point, the girls, who heretofore
seemed to regard the affair as a
joke, broke down and cried, and were
badly scared, especially Nellie, the
younger. His Homo fined the boy
$500 and twenty days III Jail, while
the girls were returned 10 the lookup
