ACCIDENTAL KILLING.
One Boy Carelessly Handles His Gun
While Out Hunting.

Baker City, Dec. 27.-Yesterday
afternoon occurred the sudden death
of little Myron Eardley the son of
James W. Eardley of South Baker,
in the employ of the Oregon Lumber
company, by the accidental discharge
of 44-40 rifle in the hands of his
playmate companion Harry Bell,
about a quarter of a mile from the
Bowen ranch near the line of the
Sumpter Valley railway, while the
boys were out hunting.
The two lads had gone out to try
their luck on a Christmas holiday,
and had their guns crossed over their
shoulders. Young Bell, in removing
his gun to his arms, caught the safe
ty lever in the lapel of his coat and
in some manner the rifle was fired,
the bullet piercing his friend in the
left breast and coming out through
the right liver. Young Eardley died
instantly. Bell, hearing the report OF
his gun, turned to see where the bull
let had lodged, only to find his friend
reeling in his tracks. He called to
Myron several times, but received nc
reply. Seeing the blood flow from his
friends side he became crazed and
frantic in his despair and grief and
| rushed up the road, hailed a passing
team and explained his trouble to the
occupants, who passed coldly on, leav-
ing the boy alone with his dead
friend. Three times Bell stopped
! passing teams, but the drivers passed
the boy by on the other side, leaving
their brutality a monument in his
memory and a disgrace to the COM
munity.
Finally one man came along who
needed the boys distress and hurried
over to the Bowen ranch and New
Bowen telephoned to the city, DR..
| Barton responding and appearing on
the scene in 80 minutes, while Man
ager Barton of the Sumpter Valley,
sent out a special train with Coroner
Ison, who brought the remains OF
young Eardly to South Baker, where
an inquest was held and the little
Bell boy, then almost in Mysteries,
properly cared for.

The campaign for a third term for
President Roosevelt has reached
Pendleton. The mail this morning
brought copies of the platform of the
Roosevelt Third Term league recent
ly formed in Chicago, and accom-
panying the platform are circular
letters giving instructions as to the
organization of the local leagues to
boost the president into office in 1908
against his wishes.
While the press reports have con-
tanned excerpts from the platform of
the Third Term league, yet the first
complete draft of the platform to
reach the city came today.
Following the text of the Third
Term platform upon the campaign
for the reelection of Theodore Roose-
welt win be conducted during the
next two years:
We, the members of the Roosevelt
Third Term National league, having
at heart the great social and political
problems now confronting the people
and in order that the rights of the
masses be protected and that national
| harmony be preserved deem 1t i'm
pera-ive that Theodore Roosevelt be
reelected to the presidency in 1908.
We have come upon days in our So
cial and political life. fermentine
with distrust and requiring firm con-
troll.
We view with alarm the evils al
ready grown from the abuse of cor
porate power and see in these evils a
fertile field for the demagogue
from which might readily spring a
political and social revolution, and be-
lieve that nothing short of temperate
and prayerful solicitude, on the part
of the people, will hold our political
and social structure intact.
To the people irrespective of party
lines is due the credit that their pres
ident, today. is Theodore Roosevelt
/ A new era of real freedom and vital
ity i'm our institutions of government
and politics was demanded, and they
wisely saw in him means to attain
| it
So Valiantly and wholeheartedly has
this man reflected the wishes of the
people, that his personality has en-
! tered into and become a part of every
department of our national life.
He has won the confidence of the
people: and this fact alone, makes
him the most potent factor in the So
luton of the present disturbing con-
ditions. To eliminate this personality
which is to eliminate that conf
dence-at a time when the people, as
whole, are restive and trembling
with apprehension, is to invite ma
tional disorder.
We are not unmindful of the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt himself de-
clared in 1904, that "under no cir
cumstances would he be a candidate
for, or. would he accept another nom-
| nation"
We challenge, however, his right
TO refuse to accept the presidency of
the United States for a third term, ir
face of the peoples demand, espe-
cially at time when so many under
| takings of the highest importance
have been brought about and set in
motion by him, and so subject them
to the danger of an untried and un-
