Carroll The district is nominally Re-

Senator J. Il. Greear of that party;
but it is said that Elder Branscombe's
original method OF campaigning has
completely confused tho managers of

Elder Branscombe is forty-five years
OF age. and weighs 900 pounds. He Is
a man of fine character, and is said
to enjoy the absolute confidence of the
people of his district.
Honor Fat Men.
There is nothing unique. however,
about the fact that the Democratic
nominee, coming as he does from Car
roll county. weighs 800 pounds. Men
grow big over there, and many OF the
! big ones get the political honors.
Judge D. W. Bolen. who represented
the county in the recent Constitutional
Convention, tipped the scales at 2sS
pounds. and Hon. James Banks, who
was the House member in the session
of 1904, weighed 306.
! is provcrbial. too. of Carroll poll

for office he gets by with voters, no
matter to what party he belongs
Judge Bolcn. for example. is a Demo-

He became unconscious few min

to the identity of the assassins. Mrs.

also a detective of no mean ability.
He had been employed on several i'm i.

he knew too much to make it safe for

WITRHoLDs BOOKS.

Baker City, Ore, Oct. AT
10:45 last night, ex-Sheriff Harvey
X. Brown was blown almost to pieces
by heavy charge of dynamite as he
entered the gate at his home in this
city. His LEFT limb was blown off
close to his body, and at the time it
is impossible to tell the extent of his
injuries. Ne was taken to st. Eliza
beth's hospital, where his wounds
we're dressed and everything doue to
relieve his suffering.
Mr.. Brown had just returned from
Stiles guloh, where he has mining
property, and was returning home
from down town when the explosion
occurred. AS he entered the gate
there was a loud report, and when
help arrived he was found lying on
the sidewalk in mangled condition.
The gate, the large gate post and
part of the fence we're blown into
splinters by the heavy discharge of
AANClg AZ AA5
home was broken and some windows
across the street.
The report could be heard all over
town, and attracted large crowd to
the scene of the tragedy. The perpe-
traitors Of the dastardly deed are not
known, and have left no trace except
a wire which extended from the gate
about % feet north along the fence
and then west about 80 feet in the
middle of the road. 1t Is supposed
that the men at the end of the wire
watched for him, and as he entered
the gate set of the dynamite.
Immediately after the explosion a
neighbor heard some men running
north from Browns place. A porch
light was burning at his home, but
the street TO the north was pitch
dark. II is thought that Brown has
some idea of the identity Of the men
who exploded the bomb, for he was
