Newspaper scoops"

Pendleton, Oct. 12.-.(To the Ed
jtor. 1.-The Pendleton Tribune re-
Gently said about the exaggerated
stories on the Brown murder COM
ing from Baker City correspondents:
1.-THE columns of correspondence
which have appeared in the Portland
papers, and others, during the past
week from Baker City regarding the
murder of Harvey K. Brown, have
furnished the readers with an anus
ing example of the extent to which
news gatherers will go into the field
of conjecture in order to prevent a
scoop" by the other fellow"
The Tribune entered this vast
"field of. conjecture" on the same day
on which the above editorial appear
ed. In a "scare head" item on the
Sawyer murder trial in this city it
said the nude form" of the murderer
was exposed to the view Of court and
jury. The facts are that Sawyer's
shirt front was opened to show the
jury the bruises on his breast. If
the Tribune makes such a fuss over
seeing a mans bare breast, what
would 1t do, should 1t actually see
the entire nude body of good sized
man or woman?
