Dponden Youth Says Dark Lawn in Front Of Elliott Home
On Washington Street to Commit Suicide by Shooting
Himself With Reyoker---The Woman.

"The cause Of suicide did not arise
from lack of funds. His father, who
is a man of means and an old ac-
quaintance of mine, had directed me
to furnish him all the money neces-
sary. The young man was well aware
of this. had advanced him money
several times. think that the suicide

LandIady 10 Shocked.
Bundy had been stopping at the
Pleasant Home lodging house, Second
and Poplar streets, for the past two
weeks. Mrs. J. M. Marquis, the pro-
prietress Of the house, was terribly
shocked when told of his death this
morning.
The last they saw of Bundy was
Marquis was reading a paper wnen
Bundy passed through the room, but
did not speak to him. The family no
ticed he did not come to supper but
thought perhaps he ate elsewhere.
Mr.. Marquis says he has known
Bundy ever since he was a boy; that
he use to live in Moscow, Idaho, with
his parents and was considered fine
young man. He was employed as a
clerk in Creighton & McCHnnan's
store until about two years ago, when
| he moved to Oregon with his parents,
! who are both living, as well as one
brother Lyman Bundy.
May Be Woman.
Facts have leaked out later indicat-
ing there may be woman in the
case.
A woman from Susanville and her
small daughter came to Walla Walla
September II and stayed at the State
hotel where Bundy was stopping at
that time. Bundy and the woman were
seen frequently together, often eating
at Olsens restaurant. When the de-
ceased went to the hospital she was
| very devoted, sending him flowers, but
left suddenly and mysteriously about
a week before the fair opened, leav-
ing her little girl here.
A photograph of the woman was
found in the pocket of the dead man

SALO0NMEKS ATTORNEYS ATTACK
VALIDITY Of THE CITY ORDINANCE

E. F. Barker is assisting City Attor-
ney Blandford in prosecuting the cases
Policemen Johnson, Wilcox and Chief
Brown testified to, the fact that Mr..
Dryden's saloon was open at various
times between midnight and Q O'Clock
Sunday morning. September 16, and
that no less than four men passed
through the back doors.
Chief Brown said he saw the door
open from his office in the city hall.
He said he made no attempt to ascer-
tain whether liquors were being sold
or not, thinking that it was unneces-
sary.
Policeman Johnson saw the back door
open on two different occasions and
saw two men go into the saloon but
he did not make any investigation.
officer Wilcox practically saw the
same thing but did not go inside the
saloon. The case of Mr.. Dryden was
still being argued up to 3:45 this af-
ternoon.

Sees the Body.

The Elliott family knew nothing of
the affair until nearly o'clock this
morning when Miss Elliott, who works
in the Golden Rule department store,
went out doors to get a bucket of
coal.
They at once telephoned to ]. l..
Elan and the police but the alarm had
already been given. Said Mrs. Elliott:
1--WE did not hear the shot Or know
anything of it until this morningI We
went out to supper last evening to
Mr. ]. L. Elam's, about four blocks
from here, and did not get back until
o'clock.
There is no fence in front Of the
Elliott place and Bundy was lying at
the corner most distant from the
house, in the darkest part Of the yard,
so that no one passing during the
night saw him.
No inquest will be held on the body
as, in the judgment of the coroner, it
is obviously a case of suicide. No
definite motive for the crime can be
ascertained. 1t is thought Bundy be-
came Respondent over his continued
| ill health and disliked to ask mis-
| father for money.
His farmer is a we'll known Oregon
cattleman and formerly an influential
citizen of this county, living neAs
Waitsburg.
Treated for Appendicitis.
DR.. ]. F. Cropp, who has been
| treating the deceased for sometime
| and knows his parents well, when
asked concering him said:
'The young man came here for
treatment sometime ago and haH "a
covered sufficiently to return home.
He has been looking for work in this
| city for several days. I operated on
him for appendicitis about Is months
| ago. 1 should judge him to be 26 or q
years old.
His father, Harvey Bundy, is
large cattle buyer, whose headquar-
ters are either Susanville, or Canyon
City. Oregon. He used to live east OF
Waitsburg in what is known as the
Bundy Hollow country.

Trail of Bullet.
The bullet entered about two inches
below his right temple and did not
emerge. 1t left a CHASTITY wound as
large as a five cent piece above the
cheek. The suppOsition is that Bun
dy stood up. bracing himself with his
umbrella, when he pulled the trigger.
What was probably the fatal shot
was heard by several people just be-
fore I o'clock last night. Floyd Hussy,
an electrician. was passing down Park
street just before o'clock not more
than 100 feet from where Bundy lay,
nothing more and no commotion he
was not alarmed and passed on.
The family of James P. GoOdhue

To
SALOON BILL
Kirkmdn Offers One Which.
May Prove Satisfactory
GIVES COURT FIRST CHANCE
Also Increases Power of Council
In Dealing With Men
Deemed Unfit.
GIVES COURT FIRST CHANCE

An ordinance amending Section IL
of the present saloon ordinance, was
introduced in the council last night as
a substitute for the new saloon ordi-
nance fathered by Councilman Bach
told. The amendment was offered by
Councilman Kirkman.
Councilmen Bridges and Glasford
voted against the substitution. Tine
ordinance passed to it's second read
ing by title and on motion of Glas-
ford was placed on the calendar for
future consideration.
Because of the councilman who in
troduced the amendment, it has been
carefully scrutinized in the belief
some tricky evasion would be found.
Generally, however, the amendment Is
regarded as acceptable and will prob
ably be voted through.
Strong Political Club.
The chief feature of the amend
emnt is that it will permit the coun-
Gil to refer all saloon violations to
the police court, if the councilmen see
fit. Also, it retains with the council
the power to revoke licenses. In ad-
dition that power is made stronger by
the third clause of the amendment
which provides for the forfeiture of
license by the council, whenever it
deems a man unfit" to conduct a
drinking saloon. AS a political club,
politicians say, it will prove a strong
whipperin for those councilmen run
ming in the saloon ws.ds.
The amendment is given in full as
follows:
The Amendment.
"Any licensee hereunder who shall
violate any of the terms Of mis- license
shall forfeit the same, and tho city
council shall have full authority and
power. upon the conviction of any IL
for the violation of any of the terms
upon which it is granted. The city
council sha have fu authority and
power, upon the conviction of any l.
censee hereunder in a court of COM
petent Jurisdiction, of the violation OF
any of the terms of his license, to for
felt the same; provided, however, that
the city council shall have full power
and authority, upon notice and near
ing, to declare a license forfeited
whenever it shall appear to the City
council that any licensee is not a fit
person to conduct drinking saloon.
The Original Section.
Following is that section Of the sa-
loon ordinance which is amended. The
difference found is in the reference 10
the courts and the specification OF re-
vocation in cases of unfit persons.
"Section II. Any Icensee hereun-
der. who shall violate any OF the
terms of mis- license shall forfeit the
same: and the city council shall have
full authority and power to declare
license forfeited for the VIOLATION OF
any Of the terms upon which 1t IS
granted.
"The city council shall have full
power and authority, without notice
or hearing, to revoke any license IS

ment the terms Of such license nave
