He Waited Two
Hours i'm Rain

and Committed Suicide

Eldon, Mo-, Oct. 14-Nicholas ODER
lea, a farmer, shot from ambush
and probably fatally wounded Mr..
and Mrs. w. B. Farris, his nearest
neighbors, and then killed himself
today. For three hours Oberlea
in a ditch at the roadside in a cold
drilling rain waiting to avenge
himself for a fancied wrong at the
hands of his neighbor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Farris had spent
the day in Eldon attending the
street fair. They were on their
way to their home. four miles west
of town, and had just reached the
crest OF a hill overlooking their
farm when Oberlea, from his place
OF concealment at the side OF the
road, fired. The charge struck Mr..
Farris in the head and he fell for
ward owe the dashboard of the
buggy.
While the horses, frightened at
the report of the gun, reared, ODER
lea fired a second shot. This time
his neighbours wife was his target,
and the charge struck her in the
face. At the second shot the team
started to run, overturning the
buggy and throwing the wounded
occupants into a ditch, almost in
arms length of the man who sough
their lives.
The road was travelled by many
farmers, returning home from the
street fair, but before any of them
reached the scene of the shooting,
Oberlea had tied a piece of binder
Irvine to the trigger of his gun and
looping the end of the string
around his foot, shot himself thru
the head.
The runaway team attracted he
attention of persons coming from
town, who stopped the horses and
went back to look for the occu-
pants Of the buggy. They follow
ed the tracks back to where the
rig had overturned, and in the
ditch at the roadside found Farris
and his wife, unconscious, and ODER
lea dead, More than a year ago
Mrs. Farris shot and wounded Ober
lea for an alleged insult. Last
week she caused his arrest, declar-
ing he had again insulted her, and
his hearing was set for tomorrow.
When the Farrises started for
Eldon this morning they noticed
Oberlea seated in his buggy in
front of his home; and during the
day remarked to friends that he
had followed them to town and
had logged their steps through
out the forenoon. When Farris
went to get his team, preparatory
to starting home, Oberlea also go;

ectly home, the Farrises went to

MARYSVILLE, Aug. 16.--If proof in
a concrete form is desired of the pos
sibility OF reclaiming dredged land for
horticulture and agriculture, such proof
can be had by glancing at an exhibit
in the Oroville chamber of commerce

ing fruit can not be found anywhere
than that which Leggett is growing
on this dredged land.
The fruit has been grown on trees
and vines which have in no case been
planted more than two years. Not
only do these trees and vines display
remarkable productive power for their
age, but the fruit is earlier and OF a
finer quality than found elsewhere
In the display at the chamber of
commerce headquarters are lemon,
cling and Crawford peaches, oranges,
watermelons, cantaloupes, Tokay and
white Muscat grapes, figs, pomegran-
ates, cucumbers. cabbages, corn. to-
matoes and a bouquet of sweet peas

STOCKTON, Aug. 1s.-Papers were
served today on three local butchers
and three saloon keepers. citing them
to appear before the state board of
health authorities at the capital Sep
tember to show cause why they
should not be punished for violating
the pure food act.
The action is the result of a quiet
visit of state inspectors TO this city
June 10 last.
The butchers are G.. L. Archambeault
owner of the FL Dorado market; j. G.
Maisel of 12S North Hunter street, and
Charles l.. Bluett of 10 and IL North
Aurora street. The saloon keepers are
p Mignacco, proprietor of the Triangle
saloon, East street and Waterloo road;
I. Castle & M. Barsi, keepers of the
Belmont bar, San Joaquin and Wash
ington streets; d. Battilana, proprietor
of the Roma hotel, 142 South Ell Do
rado street, and r. verber, proprietor
of the Europa hotel, Channel and Ell
Dorado streets.
The butchers are accused of having
used sulphur dioxide in chopped
meat which is contrary to the pure
food laws.
H r. Robbins an inspector, called
at the three saloons and asked for
Shasta water. He was given what
he alleges was ordinary carbonated
water. This is violation of section
6 of the pure food act, which provides
for mislabeling articles and selling the
same as the original.
If prosecutions follow they will be
conducted by District Attorney George
F. McNoble. The action of, the health
authorities was a surprise to the ac-
cused and has created considerable
