MAN KILLED
NEAR CLIFFORD
Shot From Behind by Wife's Low
er While Trying to Save Prop
erty From His Burning Resi-
dence.

The home of j. M. Bachus, of
Clifford, was destroyed by fire
last Friday night and the owner
was later found by neighbors ~
ing near the house with his
clothing partly burned from his
body and with his head badly
bruised and a bullet wound
through his brain. Mrs. Bachus
and child fled to a neighbor's s
home and the woman first said
that her husband had upset a
lamp while reading and told her
to go to the neighbors while he
tried to save some of their eff
fects. She later told the coroner
she heard a shot but thought it
was caused from burning cart
ridges. From the wounds on
the dead man it appears that he
was struck down with club and
then shot from behind, the bull
let passing through his head and
coming out at the forehead. The
entire Clifford section is aroused
over the murder and it is
thought some interesting devel-
opments will be made public in
the near future. The coroner's s
verdict has not yet been given
out.
LATER. Since the above was
put in type the officers have been
able to secure a partial confess
sion from Mrs. Bachus and the
lady was taken to Lewiston Tues
day and placed in the county Jail.
R. D. Anderson, a barber at Reu-
bens, was arrested and placed in
Jail Monday on suspicion of be-
ing implicated in the murder of
Bachus and later developments
point to him as being the man
who fired the fatal shot. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Bachus' confess
sion Anderson was to come to
their home Friday night and
shoot Bachus through the win
dow. The fire changed this ar
rangement and it now seems that
Anderson fired on Bachus from
behind while the latter was try
ing to save his household effects
from the fire. Anderson and
Bachus had a row about a
year ago over the former
being too intimate with Mrs.
Bachus and this fact primarily
led to Anderson's arrest. The
case looks pretty dark against
both prisoners and their trail this
fall will be watched with interest.

The public school opened here
Monday morning with all
teachers present and Prof.
Atkinson informs US there were
120 students present the first
day. This is an excellent en-
rollment for this season and
later in the fall, after the busy
season is over, the enrolment
should easily reach $50 students.
The school has a fine corps of
teachers this year and should
make a good showing for the
term.

SHEEP ARE
MOVING
OMAN MAKES SEVER
AL PURCHASES.
Market Starts off With
Fair Prices After Long
Depression.

After a long depression in the
sheep market, the spell has at last
been broken and several sales are
reported this week.
f. G. Oxman, who was one ofthe
heaviest buyers in this county last
season, was here this week and
made several purchases.
Mr.. Oxman bought from VIM.
Barratt 100 mixed yearlings at
S. SO per head.
He also purchased about 2OOO
head from Wm. Beymer, 1900 head
from Silas Wright, and lot of
coarse wool yearlings from d. o.
Justus. The prices on the last
lots we were unable to learn.
Paul Hisler, the we'll known
sheepman, this week sold to H. A.
Yocum, 1000 head of yearling
wethers with the wool on for 81 80
per head.
This is the first sheep sale in
this vicinity this season and is con-
sidered good price. However.
Mr.. Hisler's sheep were in fine
condition.

In spite of the desperate efforts of the

tain big trusts" to accomplish his de-
feat, the nomination of H. NJ. Cake.
champion of Statement No. / tor United
Ste tes Senator on April 18th, is general
ly conceded throughout the state. 1t is
predicted in Portland that he will carry
Multnomah county by between 5000 and
5000. With few exceptions, the news
papers of the state have raj led Loyalty
to Mr.. Cakes support. In urging his
nomination, the Polk County Observer
says:
"Hon. FL. NJ. Cake is making q mag
| nificent campaign and his nomination,
never seriously in doubt, is now prac-
tically assured by rousing majority.
Enthusiastic crowds have focked to
hear HIM in his trip through Southern
Oregon and his tour of Eastern Oregon
where he has always been strong with
the voters, promises to be in the nature
of triumphal march. Mr.. Cake is
making clean, dIgnied campaign, free
from personality or abuse and is earn
estly advocating the principles he be-
lieves to be right. He is an able, effect
i've speaker who makes 20 attempt at
high flown oratory, but takes the people
into his confidence and has quiet heart
to-heart talk with them on the import
ant issues now before the people of the
state and nation-the most effective |!
oratory by the way, that can be INDUCED
in by any speaker in this practical age.
He lodges no issues, straddles no ques-
tions, but frankly discusses every sub
ject in manner that leaves no doubt in
any mind as to its sincerity. In Mr.. !
Cake the people feel they have q man
whom they can trust; one who would
represent them honorably and fearlessly
in the Nations highest law-making
body. The 900 or less votes which he
lacked in the entire state for the Sena-
torisl nomination two years ago, will be
made up to him this time by the voters
OF Oregon with few thousand more
thrown in for good measure"

Wallowa Chieftain: While the
recent rains have cost the railroads
considerable money and caused
some delay in the mails, etc, they
have been of untold benefit to the
farmers and stockmen of Wallowa
county. The ranges were sadly In
need of just such rain and the
grass is taking a good start as a re-

the stockmen, and if they are di-
rectly benefited then it follows
that the remainder OF the people
will be benefited in an indirect
manner also.

made assurances that all the above

chance for an excellent time, consid-

is THIS
A
SQUARE
DEAL?

Wilkinson & Co. makes this square
deal offer because he is authorized to
do so by the makers of Mi-o-na tablets,
and he is willing to have this state
ment appear in The Gate City because
he knows the offer is genuine.
And while it may be that there are
about S cases in 100 that are too far
gone for Mi-o-na to cure, we are willing
and ready to take all the chances, and
| if Mi-o-na does not cure, any dyspeptic
can have his money back.
Even with this liberal offer Willlin-
son G. Co. will not have to refund but
very small percentage, because the
incurable dyspeptics will find so
much relief in Mona tina they will
once again look upon the sunny side of
life, and will continue to use Mona.
Now. reader, you may say how can
the makers of Mona make such an
offer? How do they know that 80 per
cent of the users will be cured, and
that the other s per cert or the incur
ables. will be relieved?
Why. it's all very simple. We've
made this same offer in 1000 towns be-
fore we made it here, and we shavc fig
ured out the percentages, Sc that when
we make the statement we know it to
be absolutely true.
