Amite, La, March 11.-Murder was
added to the bitter political feud here
when at midnight last night Senator
elect D. S. Kemp was shot and killed
by C. F. Hyde. prominent in the
state as a politician and bueiness
man.
The feud attained a climax in the
recent primaries in which Kemp
emerged victorious. When the two
men met last night the quarrel was
resumed with the fatal ending.
Investigation has developed the fact
that the killing Of Senator-elect D. s,
Kemp was not the result of murder
but a carefully planned duel between
Kemp and c. F. Hyde, his political
enemy, after they met and had VIZ
olent quarrel.
The duel was then proposed and
decided upon and the men went to
the appointed spot, distance was
measured by seconds and the signal
given. On either the first or the Sec
ond shot Kemp fell fatally wounded
and died almost instantly. Kemp's
shots went wild.
Hyde, who is but "a years old, ran
from, the ,.csne and has net yet been
arrested. Zone of the WITNESSES states
that Kemp did not shoot.

Robbers blew open the safe In
Carnes Bros store at Pilot Rock last
night and succeeded In getting away
with about 500 In money, few
checks and some articles from the
stock OF the store. From appearances
there were two men involved in the
job and Sheriff Taylor Is now busy
following up clues that were left by
the cracksmen.
In a phone conversation with the
East Oregonian this morning, Carnes
Bros. reported their loss to be as CIV
en- above. The robbery was commit
ted about o'clock this morning.
Shortly before that hour the saloons
had closed for the night and people
going homeward heard the report
when the safe was blown open. How
ever, they say 1t sounded like an or
dinary report from a gun and no at
tention was paid. william Shields
the jeweler, saw a man cross the
bridge over Birch creek shortly after
wards and he now believes the fellow
was one of the robbers. However, II
was dark and he could not see him
plain enough to describe him.
The store was entered through the
front door which was prled open by
means of a wood chisel. By means
of tools stolen from N blacksmith
shop the knob Of the safe door was
then knocked off. Nitroglycerine
and soap was then poured into the hole
and the door blown open and the rob-
bers had full access to the contents
of the safe. Aside from the money
contained therein there were several
checks one being drawn upon the
First National bank of Pendleton by
Alonzo Khotts and for the sum of
$31.05.
When the store people opened the
establishment early this morning they
found the safe blown open and that
the store had been otherwise plunder-
ed. on table near the safe were
two of the store rifles and both had
been loaded by the robbers and held
ready for instant use In case they
were caught while at their work. One
of the guns was cooked when found
this morning. In view of this action
on their part II is believed the
thieves are desperate characters.
Among the things stolen from the
store were some lunch goods and this
morning remnants of the robbers
lunch were found beside the road
about a mile down the road from Pr
lot Rock.

POPULAR LAWS WIN.
Seattle Adopted Initiative and Refer
endum Amendment.

The recent municipal election in Sc
attic, when the initiative and referen-
dun amen dment to the city charter
was carried, marks the hardest fight
had by the advocates of these meas
ures, and it is believed that at the ses-
sion of the next state legislature a
similar provision will be submitted to
be added to the state constitution, says
the Spokane Chronicle.
Seattle was accounted the last big
stronghold of the "anti" forces and
with the carrying of this the fight of
the state initiative and referendum
league is won The initiative and ref
erendum feature is incorporated in
the charters in this city, Seattle and
Everett. 1t is stated that the forces
are well lined up in Bellingham and
are confident of victory and an effort
will soon be made to have Tacoma
take up the same question.
With the installation of the new
council in Spokane the advocates of
the measures in this city are expected
to make fight for the reduction in
the percentage of voters required to
sign a petition before new laws can
be initiated or pending measures re-
ferred to the people. At the time the
ordinance was passed in this city the
number was fixed at S5 per cent and
this is almost prohibitive. 1t is said
that number of the members who
viii come into the city council next
May are in favor of making reduce
tion in the percentage figure.
