KILLED BY A SHOT
Henry Rankin Meets Sudden
Death from Gun Shot
Wounds.
SHOOTING A MYSTERY
Inquest Held on Monday Morning,
and Verdict Rendered.

Inquest Held on Monday Morning,
and Verdict Rendered.
On Sunday evening at about five
O'Clock three boys. Orville Anderson,
Roman and Ulmont Healy, discover
ed the body Of a man lying on the
ground in an open space near the Ben
Hurr mine, and within about two hun
dred yards from the Carlos Healy
home. The boys at first thought that
the man was lying there in an intoxi-
Gated condition; but soon discovered
that he was dead. The fact was at
once telephoned to Mayor Brown and
DR.. H. d. Ludden.
The body was found to be the of
Henry Rankin. It was taken to the
city hall, and an inquest held before
J. P Hankins, Justice of the Peace.
The following named jurors were i'm
paneled and sworn: Carlos Healy,
Ben Thompson, John Gorgen, Jr.,
Arthur Greenwood, Fred Golliner and
Laurence McDermott.
The jury examined the body and ad-
journed to Monday morning, Sept. 2l,
at 9 O'Clock, the state being represent
ed by Joseph n. Treweek, district at
torney, when the following witnesses
were duly sworn and examined: RO-
main Heaiy, Orville Anderson, Ul-
mont Healy, Henry Dresden, Michael
Fitzpatrick, Nicholas Weyer, Thomas
Mills and DR.. H. D. Ludden.
No clue could be obtained from the
evidence as to how the shooting oc-
cured.
The evidence of DR.. Ludden was to
the effect that death occurred at least
twenty-four hours before the body was
found; that the charge from the gun
had entered the head near the right
ear, blowing off a portion of the
skull.
The evidence given by the other wit
nesses was mainly in regard to the
finding of the body, and the hearing
of shots fired near where the shooting
occurred.
After considering the evidence the
jury delivered the following verdict
"An inquisition taken at the city of
Mineral Point, Iowa county, on the
2lst day of Sept. 1908, before j. P.
Hankins, Esq, one of the justices of
the peace of said county, upon the
view of the body there dead, by the
jurors whose names are herewith sub
scribed, who being duly sworn, to in

CARRIED BY
GERMS IN AIR NEAR COWS.

Washington, Sept. 30.--The much
mooted question OF whether tubercu-
losls in cattle can be transmitted to
man and the prevention of the dis
ease in cattle were the subjects of
discussion at the Section" Of the In
ternational congress Tuesday after
noon. Prof. y. p. Tendeloo Of Ley
den. Holland, one of the foremost
bacteriologists OF the world, advo-
Gated stamping out the disease In
cattle. and said 1t had been proved
that man can be infected by the In
halation of bovine bacilli floating i'm
the air near the diseased COW. apart
from the possibility OF transmission
OF the disease through the milk.
The great white plague costs the
people Of the civilized world over ST.
coo, 100000 yearly, according to a
statement made yesterday by Prof
Irving Fisher OF Yale university, in a
paper read before the International
tuberculosis congress. Prof. Fisher
estimates that consumption kills
13S,O00 people each year in America
alone. He declared that five million
persons i'm America are doomed to
fll consumptives graves and that
100000 are rendered miserable by
deaths.

TWO CENTS CARRY LETTER
TO FAR ENGLAND'S ISLE

Washington, Sept. 30.-After mid
night tonight a letter may he deposit
ed at any postoffice in the United
States for delivery at any point in
Great Britain or Ireland at the domes-
tic rate OF two cents an ounce. The
rate now prevailing is five cents for
a letter weighing an ounce or less and
three cents for each additional
ounce. The reduction in rates was
reached after long negotiations be-
tween the postal authorities of this
country and the British government
Postmaster General Meyers believes
that this reduction in the rate of pos
tage to the United Kingdom ultimate
ly will result in an increase in re-
ceipts, because 1t has always been
found that reduction of the letter
rate resulted finally in increasing the
revenue. He Is also of the opinion
that lower postage will lead to freer
commercial intercourse. Our manu-
facturers, he says, are increasing their
sales in England, and must rely to a
great extent upon the mails for orders
and increase of trade Further" he
said, "this will be a great boon to
our adopted English speaking citizens
particularly those of limited means,
as II will enable them to keep up cor
respondonce with their relations and
friends in the old country at domes-
tic rates"

A SURPRISED MINISTER.
HyOmei Cured Bronchial Catarrh AZ

For many years l have been a
sufferer from bronchial catarrh, and
had d6spaired of anything like a cure.
Judge Of my pleasant surprise when
I first used Hyomel, which brought
complete relief Hyomel has been a
veritable godsend. ."-Rev. Charles
Hartley. Sardinia, Ohio.
There are many readers OF the
East Oregonian who are suffering
from catarrh, either nasal or bron-
chlal. Many of these despair OF ever
being cured. They have soaked their
stomachs with nostrums until they
are dsgusted with all medicines, and
are now travelling in their miserable
way, allowing the devilish germs OF
catarrh to sap them of their health,
energy and vitality.
But let us reason together. Tall
man e. Co., the druggists, have a
guaranteed remedy for cattarrh, colds,
coughs, bronchitis, Group and all In
flammatory diseases Of the nose,
throat and bronchial tubes. The
name of this remarkable remedy is
Hyomei, and II It doesn't cure Tall
man & Co. will give you your money

through the inhaler over the inflam-
ed and germ ridden membrane, and
It's soothing antiseptic properties will

the kindness Of Mrs Patten and her de-
sire that he get a start In business life

wanted them. and that a large profit
would be made. Mrs. Patteu. AICE.lr-
land declared, told him she did not
