OREGON LIENS.

John Mcclellan, a rancher living on
the Nasel river, was shot recently and
instantly killed by Michael Campbell,
also a rancher, at Whine Landing, on
Deep river. Mcclellan was standing
on the wharf and it is alleged that
Campbell, while McClellan's back was
turned, aimed at Mcclellan and fired
five shots, hitting him four times in
the back. The trouble is said to be
the result of a lawsuit in which Nc
Clellan is said to have been the victor.

refusal caused the crime. Besides

From present indications there will
be no wool sold in eastern Oregon this
year. Saturday was to mark the open
ing of the selling season at Pendleton,
with an offering of 100000 pounds at
the Arlington sale. When the time
for the sale arrived eight or ten buy
ers were in attendance, but though
six different lots were opened the bids
only ranged from IA to 8 3-4c per
pound. The same fieeces last year
would have brought from Is to 10
cents, consequently the growers re-
fused to sell, and the sale was de,
clared on.

AFTER PRIESTS LIFE
TERRIBLE Scene in CATHOLIC
Church, SALISBURY, MO.
Father Lubeley Stabbed by Joe
Schuette During the Morning SerV-
ice-Demented Man Stopped in Muir
derous Work by Women and Men
of Congregation-Was Placed in Jail.

Salisbury, Mo-, May 25.-The Rev.
Father Joseph F. Lubeley, aged 33
years, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic
church of Salisbury, was stabbed twice
with pocketknife and perhaps fatally
injured in church Sunday morning by
Joseph Schuette, a prosperous farmer
living near here, who is believed to
have become suddenly demented.
The stabbing occurred in view of 400
worshipers, many of them women. The
injured man was taken to nearby
residence, where his wounds were at
tended to by physicians. His condition
is critical
Immediately after Father Lubeley
had finished high mass he started to
leave the church. At the door he was
rushed upon suddenly from behind by
Schuette, who stabbed him twice, fell
ing him. The first blow from the knife
struck the priest in the temple and the
second cut a deep cash in the neck
just missing the jugular vein. The
crazed man was about to stab the
priest a third time when Mrs. Barbara
Ginter and John Gates, both members
of the church, caught his uplifted
hand In the struggle which followed
Schuette stabbed Mrs. Ginter in the
hand and inflicted a painful cut on
Gates arm. A dozen men came to the
aid of Mrs. Ginter and Gates and over
powered Schuette. Struggling and
| q bo toll fO iniI
1t is believed Schuette, who has been
devout member of the church, be-
came suddenly deranged and the at
tempt on Father Lubeley's life re-
suited.
During the services Schuette sat in
the rear of the church. 1t is said he
glared constantly at the priest as if in
great rage.
Father Lubeley had this to say: HE
attacked me from behind and had no
chance to defend myself. Fortunately,
the first thrust of the knife grazed my
temple. 1t would have killed me had
it struck me directly. The second blow
missed my jugular by narrow mar
gin.
"Schuette and l were the best of
friends and l never did anything con-
sciously or unconsciously to incur his
enmity He must have lost his reason"
Another version of the attempted
assassination is that Father Lubeley
had publicly reprimanded Schuette for
attacking a member of the congrega-
| ton last Saturday

Reason for Early Death.

The reason man dies at 60 or So
instead of 100 or 120, according to the
famous scientist, Ellie Metchnikoff, of
the Pasteur institute, Paris. is because
of the numberless microbes which
thrive in his intestines and digestive
organs and gradually poison the tis.
sues of the body, bringing on prema-
ture old age and death.
Metchnikoff believes he has discov-
cred that the microbes which inbabit
the human intestines can be DESTROYED
by the regular use of buttermill, or
sour milk, on account of the Tactic acid
which they contain, thereby prolonging
life and making old age healthy and
vigorous.
