SAWMILL HAND is
SHOT BY FOREMAN

E. G. Hurst, who up to yesterday
afternoon was an employee of the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company's plan
ing mill at Vending, was shot in the
right arm and left hand yesterday af-
ternoon by Al Seekatz, foreman of
the mill, but the injuries are not Sc
rious.
The trouble arose over Seekats dis
charging Hurst from the mill. Ac-
cording to the story received at the
oficfes of Sheriff Bowen and Deputy
District Attorney Skipworth today.
Hurst and another employe of the
mill named Wright had some trouble
between themselves, and Wright told
the foreman lot of things about
Hurst, reflecting on his character.
Seekatz, believing Hurst to be a bad
man, discharged him yesterday after
noon, whereupon Hurst knocked the
foreman down. Seekatz, who was
armed with revolver, pulled the

New Orleans, Nov. 3O.-Captain
Holmes, of the steamer Atenas,
brought a report that the Americans,
Cannon and Groce, supposed to have
been executed in Nicaragua, are alive
when he reached this port today.
His report is based upon a wire

Holmes says the message was re-

San Francisco, Nov. 3O.-A CON
spiracy was laid bare here today in
which James O'Kelly, a wealthy tow
boat man of Coos Bay, figured as the
dupe of so-called clairvoyant, CDR. ="
Astro, alias Alexander. Through the
aid of a woman claiming to be his
wife, but who was known as Stella
Mason or lyman, once an actress,
Astro is alleged to have attempted
to fleece O'Kelly of $4,000, by pre-
tending to him that the Mason wo-
man was his long lost daughter, for
whom he has been searching.
When O'Kelly's wife died recently
her last wish was that her husband
find the missing daughter of her first
marriage, and give to her $4,000 be-
sides her valuable trousseau.
In searching for the missing girl
O'Kelly came here and met 'Dr. :"
Astro, clairvoyant, who promised to
produce the missing girl through the
aid of his mysterious power.

New York, Nov. SO.-With his bid
for the Jeffries-Johnson champion
ship battle safe in the hands OF Stake
holder Bob Murphy, Tom McCarey,
the Los Angeles promoter, now has
nothing to do but to fold his hands
and wait until the proposals are
opened in Hobolen tomorrow.
McCarey appears to be confident
that he Will land the fight for Los
Angeles.
Conservative Gotham sports today
are spreading the rumor that the pro-
moter who secures the Jeffries-
johnson battle will not have to pay
more than 100000 for the plum.
Yesterday reports were rife that at
least two of the bidders would go
over the century mark, but those who
claim to be in close touch with the
several fight magnates who have
gathered here declare the statements
to be without foundation.
Everyone seems to be agreed that
the battle will go to a California
bidder, Jeffries, it was reported to-
day, favors fighting in Los Angeles
in case. of course, that the financial
offered by McCarey ap-
proximates other offers. Johnson
stated today that Los Angeles and
San Francisco are equally satisfac-
tory to him, and that he is prepared
to furnish some high-class entertain
ment wherever the mill Is staged.

London, Nov. 30.-Great crowds
gathered about the House of Parlia-
ment tonight, while the Anal discus
sion of the budget proceeded with
every prospect that it would be de-
feated by majority OF $50. The
cabinet remained in session, prepar-
ing to resign when 1t is expected that
parliament will be dissolved, follow
ing the rejection of the financial
measure.
The greatest excitement prevails.
and it is feared that financial chaos
will follow the announcement of the
result. It was not believed vote
would be reached before midnight.
Heavy police detachments are on.
hand to prevent an outbreak or dem
onstration.
Many courses are open to Premier
Asquith, but he has not indicated
which he will follow. Many urge the
premier to threaten the lords with
financial crisis, and ask him to pre-
sent the budget to them with the al
tentative OF passing it OR causing
panic.
Lord Curzon arose from his sick
bed and delivered a powerful appeal
for the rejection OF the measure.
The peers are little affected by the
arguments In favor OF the budget, or
the expressions of danger following
its rejection.
1t appears that the majority has
made up its mind firmly on the mat
ter, and little heed is given any ar
gument delivered in an endeavor to
effect a change.
Financial confusion prevails, the
legal authorities agreeing that, in the
event of Lord Lansdowne's motion
prevailing, the situation created will
prevent the collection of taxes except
those provided for by permanent
laws.
Lansdowne moved to postpone the
budget until after the election, and
the approval of this motion means
the defeat of the budget.
The authorities fear that the public
will attempt hostile demonstration,
and may even attempt to rush into
the chamber where the lords sit.
The situation Is the most tense
known in years. One OF the great
climaxes in England's history is at
hand.

TONGUE
WINS OUT
IN HIS SUIT
Supreme Court Holds That
Lord LOveIaCe Is Entitled
to the Race Purse.

Holding that the circuit court for
Marion county erred in not sustain
ing a demurrer of the plaintiff in the
case of E. B. Tongue against the
State Board of Agriculture for Ore
gon, suit to collect $500 as a stake
won by Lord Lovelace in 1904, the
supreme court today reversed the
lower courts judgment and remand
ed the case for further consideration.
The case has been pending in the
supreme court for four years, it hav-
ing been started in the Marion coun-
ty circuit court in 1904. The ap-
pellant in the case, E. b. Tongue,
was owner of Lord Lovelace, a 2-year
old colt, which he entered in the
stake for district-bred foals of 1902,
TO be raced for the stake of $500 at
the state fair in 1904. Lord Love-
lace won the stake, Dut the owner
was unable to collect it. and started
suit in the court presided over by
Judge Burnett, of this county.
The main question presented by
the defendants in objecting, was that
there was no testimony introduced
to show that the race horse had been
foaled in this district, nor that it
was a young horse. In the opinion
written by Justice Eakin, il is held
that the blank presented to Mr..
Tongue as an invitation to enter his
horse, contained none of these speci-
fications, and that whether or not
the above contentious were material
in showing that the colt, Lord Love-
lace, was a legitimate entry cannot
be considered in the cause, and re-
verses the lower tribunals decree.
Other opinions handed down by
the supreme court today are:
Orlinna Jensen, appellant, VS.
Curry County, respondent; j. w.
Hamilton, judge for Curry county;
