Marshfield, Ore, April ia girls
petulance and boys overmastering
jealousy caused the double tragedy
at Marshfield, oregon, in which John
Grills shot Miss Ora Roby and then
killed himself.
At the coroner's inquest a pitiful
letter written by the distracted youth
to his mother just before he con-
summated the terrible deed shows the
state of mind under which he labor
ed.
Miss Roby, who was famous I'm
Willamette valley for her beauty, had
lived at Marshfield but a few months
but in that time won the love of
young Grills, who was just 21, and
had promised to marry him.
Then the parents of the girl inter-
vened and declared the young couple
must wait. In the meantime it SEEM
ed to Grills that the girls love cool
ed. In returning home from the
skating rink they quarreled and the
murde- and suicide resulted.
In a letter addressed to his moth
er' found in the boys coat after the
tragedy, he said: IL could not live
to see anybody else have her. I
know am crazy, but can't help
it. She promised me then she tried
TO shake me, but she couldn't. If I
can't have her nobody else can"
Miss Roby was well known in Mil
ton Oregon, Washington and eastern
Oregon, where she frequently visited
with relatives.

Chicago, April Ills William Jen-

leading to the pit where the down
and outs go? This is the declaration
of the Johnson men here today. who
are more than pleased with the sud-
den turn of affairs that have occur
red within the last few days.
Even the most enthusiastic Bryan
men are perturbed. The action of the
state central committee of Michigan
in falling to indorse Bryan. was a
heavy blow and even the Peerless
one" WINGED when the news was re-
ported to him.
1t came to him in the shape of a
cruel surprise as he had been most
enthusiastically greeted at Lansing
the night before by large crowd Of
democrats.
AT johnson headquarters. where
they are already mentally counting on
being headliners in the Nebraskan's
political obsequies. they can count off
on their fingers the blows he has re-
ceived in the last week and which they
assert has made his case a desperate
one.
These are: The failure of New
York to instruct its IS delegates for
him; failure of the Michigan state
central committee to indorse him:
the action of the Delaware conven-
ton in instructing for Judge Gray:
the publication by the Bryan press
bureau of the "Johnson's imperti-
nence" letter.
Unless Bryan wins Illinois. declare
his enemies. he cannot be nominated
and they declare that he has squelch-

Carter H. Harrison was planning up

Sucker state delegation in any event.
Bryan is satisfied that he must have

TO MARKET MILTON FRUIT.
Union of the Growers Has Been Or.
ganizcd TO Handle OUTPUT.


SaniZed TO Handle Output.
The Fruit growers union, recently
organized among the fruit raisers OF
the Milton and Freewater districts
will try the interesting experiment this
year of handling and marketing the
fruit produced by its members some
800 in number.
In small way the growers for sew
eral years have marketed their own
fruit, but owing to lack of coopera-
ton among the different growers, the
most successful results have not been
obtained.
This year, however, the growers
have adopted plans employed by the
fruitmen's unions In the Yakima,
Hood River and Wenatchee districts
in marketing their fruit and it is ex-
pected that better results will be Sc
cured.
The Milton -Freewater union has
just let a contract for a new ware
house which will be erected in time
to handle this seasons crop. It will
be located conveniently to the two
railroads connecting with that place
so that markets in all parts of the
United States can be conveniently
reached.
In order to protect the eastern
the union will keep a man
in the hig eastern markets. 1t will
be the eastern mans place to ascer-
tain the best markets, place ship
ments to the best possible advantage
and see that commission merchants
make adequate returns for all ship
ments received and disposed of.

With lively interest manifested in
all four Pendleton precincts the pri-
mary election is on this afternoon and
If the voting continues at the rate 1t
started with there will be few who do
not vote.
At ~ o'clock the polls were opened
at the voting places designated for the
different wards, at the court house
for Pendleton precinct; the Hotel
Pendleton sample room for North
Pendleton; at d. Turner's residence
for East Pendleton, and at Mrs. Bish-
ops house for South Pendleton.
By 1 o'clock the various booths
were filled with eager voters and the
judges and clerks were given am early
workout.
Though there are comparatively few
contests there is sufficient interest In
those to bring forth a strong vote
Naturally the chief interest centers in
the race between Ellis and Geer for
the republican nomination for con-
gress. while much concern Is also
taken in the senatorial race between
Fulton and Cake.
If sentiments expressed upon the
streets are to be relied upon, Con-
gresham Ellis will carry the city and
also the county by a landslide vote,
and Fulton will also win over Cake in
Pendleton. -
For legislators a lively contest Is
also on between Messrs. Barrett. Mann
and Steen, while the three-cornered
race between Messrs. Walker, Bailey
and Sunderman for county commits
sioner is also lively one. The only
other local contests are those be-
tween Charles Wall and Ralph Fol-
som for coroner and between Messrs.
Hendley and Macomber for recorder
On the democratic side there has
been little excitement today for there
are really no contests whatever for
democratic nominations. Upon the
ticket there appears but one contest,
that being between Messrs. Jeffreys
and Derby for the congressional nom-
ination.
Governor Chamberlain's name was
written in for senator by
democrats and many other names
were filled in upon that ticket.

school the same grades also voted,

At the high school no election was

Hampton.
In the voting at the different school
rooms only registered" voters were
allowed to participate and some lively
skirmlshes occurred over contested
votes. The vote of one young ladv
was contested on the ground OF irrer-
ular!ty because her registered age was
held to be different from that which
she gave at the polls.

heavy rain which has been drenching
the city all day, the voting of the first
