OFFICER DRUNK AND ABUSIVE
Condition of Bushee According to
statement Of Adams Citizens.

Adams, Dec. 1.-The citizens OF
Adams who feel that they have been
misjudged through the article which
appeared in Fridays Morning Tribune
regarding the arrest of Glen Bushee,
deputy United States marshal, feel
that they are entitled to a statement
rigar ding the matter.
According to the statement of differ
ent people who witnessed the row, Mr..
Bushee entered the town about noon
on Thanksgiving day without bat,
riding at rapid pace, in company
with Harry Redford, the reservation
Indian police. Busbee fell fros his
horse at Eastland, coming on to
Adams bareheaded. He Immediately
entered Peter Nessler's saloon and
stated that he was ready to lick every
body in the town. He asked John
Pearce, who is law abiding citizen,
to have drink with him, but he re-
fused, when Bushee assaulted him and
two other citizens, and used vile
language. He then took off his star
and gave it to the bartender and gave
his revolver to the police, feeling
himself that he was not IN condition
to properly handle either. He became
so abusive that Jim Gangrew, a
half breed, finally took the matter up
and began beating him. As soon as
the marshal could be called, Bushee
was placed under arrest and put
under $25 bonds, to appear yesterday
aftern oon. He was unable to come 60
Adams until this morning, however.
when he appeared and was fined $40
and costs in ths recorders court, after
which he apologized to the saloon
man and the parties he assaulted.
The people of Adams do not wish to
go against an officer of the law. and
they feel that they have number Of
tough customers to contend with from
the reservation, some of whom were in
the saloon at the time of the trouble,
but they do feel that some of the
articles published were misleading,
and would give the impression that
Adams people were not for law and
order, which is not the case, as there
are many of the best residents of
Umatilla county in the little town of
Adams as we'll as many of the reserva-
tion class, and it is the better class
who feel that Bushee did not enter
''either as an officer or a gentleman"
On this oocasion
Bushee was evidently celebrating
and admitted as much today after
paying his fine, when he left for PEN
dleton on the afternoon freight. He is
an entire stranger to nearly all the
residents here, and there is no i'll feel
ing against him now, only the citizens
feel that they are entitled to square
deal in all reports regarding the mat
ter.
MoOloud. the man whom Bushee
was supposed to be searching for, has
not been seen in Adams or anywhere
near for two years.

EVERY COUNTY PAID IN FULL
Oregon Is Out of Debt and Will Be
Until Early Next Spring.

For the first time in the history of
the state every county has paid it's
state taxes in full In the last three
or four years the payments hayeSheen
prompt and only two or three counties
were delinquent and only for COM
paratively small sums. Today, how
ever when the last half of the state
taxes from the several counties became
delinquent. balance or accounts was
struck and not dollar was found to
be due the state. Until a few days
ago one county had not paid, but che
county treasurer remitted before de-
linquency started the accumulation of
interest.
Though the finances of the state are
in excellent condition and the state
has not dollar of debt, it is apparent
that the treasury will be depleted
early in 1907, and that for some time
warrants must be indorsed for want
of funds and the state must pay inter
est thereon. No more state taxes will
be due until April.

Dead Man Unknown.

No one has yet appeared who can
identify the man who died at the poor
farm Saturday, and consequently the
mystery concerning the man is as deep
as ever. The body is still being held
at the RAIDER undertaking parlors and
the officers have communicated with
people at Umatilla to see if something
more can be learned of him there. He
died from the effects of blow he rece-
ived on his head last week, and while
conscious refused to divulge his name
or tell anything regarding his assail-
ant. East Oregonian.

A Milton Land Mark

w. S. Brown this week commenced
tearing down the old mill building
near the-bridge in Milton. The river
has cut so close to it that it would
probably be washed away by the next
high water. The mill was formerly
shingle, planning and chop mill, and
in its palmy days before the advent of
the railroad, did thriving business,
but could not compete with the large
mills of Portland and the Sound after
railroad transportation was secured.
Last season it was operated as a box
factory by Olinger Bros and has since
been lying idle.-Milton Eagle.

An ImpOssfbIe Feat.

Ainsworth R. Spofford, chief assist
ant librarian of the Congressional
Library, speaking Of fiction, said:
Much Of it is false-as false as the
story Of Napoleon and the one-armed
soldier.
Napoleon, seeing this one-armed
soldier on the streets of Paris one
day, called him up and said:
"'Where did you lose your arm, my
friend?
"In your last campaign, SIRE the
soldier answered.
And you were never decoratedT
said Napoleon.
Never, sire
"'Then here is the cross. May YOU
wear it with honor said the Emperor,
and, taking the cross from his own
breast, he pinned it on the soldiers
faded coat.
1.-THE one-armed soldier flushed with
pride at this great honor. His eye
glittered, his breast heaved, his LID
curled proudly.
"'And, SIRE he said, suppose had

Then said Napoleon, I should
have made you an officer of the le-
gion.'

PAIN IN The JOINTS
Rheumatic fortunes Cease When Dr..
Williams Pink Pills Make
New Blood

The first sign of rheumatism is fire.,
quently pain and swelling i'll one of
the joints If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is DR..
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system. 80 that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs L. e Pitcher, of No. 100 Mon
mouth street, Newark, N. J., suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She says:
alt began with a queer feeling in my
fingers In little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had Jumps on
them and could not get my gloves on.
"Then 1t grew worse and spread to
my knees could not stand up and [
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than can describe. took
great deal of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until tried DIR. Williams
Pink Pills
81 read an account of cure in case
that was exactly like mine and my hus-
band got me some of the pills. 1 took
them for three weeks before [ really felt
better but they finally cured me. "
Mr.. Pitcher, who is veteran and
member of t. ID. Morgan Post, No. 307
of New York, substantiates his wife's
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas year ago
he was compelled to push her about in

Some remarkable experiments have

the Kansas City Star. The most strik-
ing Of these experiments were made

these halves be halved again the pos
terror segment Of each squirms, while
the anterior halves crawl away. This
same process may be continued with
precisely like result until the pieces
are no longer large enough to crawl
independently. The striking phenome-
non is explained in part by the two
sets Of musculars fibres in the worm,
one longitudinal, causing the squirm-

lar, which produce the crawling Why
in the posterior segments the former
