aud sleep soundly the night before his
execution. Although somewhat weak
ened by his long confinement of more
than year, he reached the steps lead
ing to the gallows and walked to the
top without any assistance. During
the adjustment of the cap and straps
his body was seen to sway slightly and
his lips were seen to be moving in
prayer. but he made no public utter
anoe and met his fate bravely. The
trap was sprung shortly after G:25
and his neck was broken by the fall.
Barnes was hung for the murder of
Mrs. Anna Aldrioh. which occurred
May /, 1908, he having enticed the
woman into the mountains bordering
Oh Coppei creek, and beat her to death
with pick handle. In the first trial
the jury disagreed, but in July of last
year the jury found him guilty Of
murder in the first degree and he was
sentenced to hang. He at all times
said he was not guilty Of the crimc
and his conviction was made purely
on cir0umstantia evidence.

day Largely Attended.

Mrs. Earl Dudley died at her hom g
northwest of town Monday. az the
result of complications due to child
birth. the mother being survived by
little son.
The announcement of the death cast
a pail of gloom over this community,
i'll which, during her short residence,
Mrs. Dudley had made many friends.
The death of the young wife is sad
one. and the Young husband has the
heartfelt sympathy of all in his be-
reavement The taking away of his
young helpmate has stricken him
with an awful sorrow aud iu his dark
hours of anguish and grief, perhaps
the thought of the baby son which
the fond wife left to his care, sustains
him more than anything else could
possibly do. Mrs. Dudley was form
erly Miss Stella Lee, of Fondleton,
where she made her home with the
family of VIM. BlakeleY. She was
born in Southern Oregon. and at deaf b

was lovable lady. ard made friends
with all.
She was taken i'll at her farm home,
Sunday. The services of three sur
geons were enlisted and everything
that could be done to save her life
was of no avail whatever.
During her life, she had been a
faithful servant in church work. The
funeral services were held Wednesday
afternoon at the Christian church.
The funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. Van Nuys Of the Pendleton Pres.
byterian church, the minister who had
pronounced the words that made
Stella Lee and Earl Dudley wife and
husband. Interment was made in
Athena cemetery. Despite inolement
weather the funeral was largely at

tributes were in evidence.

FAINT child, Mrs. Dudley is survived by
father, who is in California. bro
