their living has been necessarily "a
precarious ore, until nei@hhors learn

several of the children have been en-

week and the situation generally is
no longer so desperate. though still
precarious enough.
The family has been the victim Of
misfortune. They are worthy, rug

are looking for a home where they
can settle down and take up the
task of making a decent livelihood

It was am interesting game and the

Everybody was enthusiastic and
there was plenty of encouragement.

WELL-KNOWN FARMER
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
JOSEPH SALTMARSH is
VICTIM OF OWN GUN
Took Gun and Shot at COyote-Sup-
posed to Have Tripped on Return
TO House and Shot Hinnself-BuIlet
Entered Head.

Joseph Saltmarsh, a prominent far
mer residing ten miles south of Pen
dleton for many years. accidentally
shot and killed himself at his farm
home about s o'clock this morning.
According to the testimony of his
daughter, Bessie Saltmarsh, her faith
er. who is about 60 years of age, had
taken his gun out to shoot a coyote.
While he was out she went to the cell
lar a short distance from the house,
to get some milk She heard one shot
fired and paid no attention to this,
but upon hearing a shot in the house
a few moments later, she rushed in
and found her father dying with bull
let hole in his head
From the appearances and the cir
cumstances, Coroner Folsom believes
the man was placing his loaded gun
in the corner where he always kept
it, when in some manner the weapon
was accidentally discharged, the bull
let striking him in the temple.
The deceased is survived by four
children, Etheline Mcdonald, who
lives about a mile from her fathers
home, Carl and Bessie Saltmarsh, who
live at home, and Earl Saltmarsh, who
is marine in the Philippines.

500 Students at Military
Academy Mutiny Against
Officers.
"SILENCE" OFFICER BUT
REFUSE TO SAY WHY
Serious Situation at West Point Faces
uthorities-Captain Longan "Si-
lenced' by Cadets Who Refuse TO
Disclose Reason at Investigation
Refusal May Mean Wholesale Dis
missal-Cadets Incensed at Lon
gan.

West Point, Sept. 27.-Cadets of
West point today are in open rebel
lion and the authoria es are facing the
worst mutiny in the history of the
academy as the outcome OF the Cap
tain Longan incident in which 500
cadets Joined in showing their disap-
proval by "silencing" him. The ca
diets are united and routine work is
suspended in an effort to restore dis
cipline. Supt. General Barry in his
report said the first twenty examined
by the investigation committee said:
I'VE have formed a dislike for this
officer and no amount of coaxing
would make them tell the cause of
the trouble. Indications are that the
cadets have formed a conspiracy not
to answer. Heretofore they were
commanded to answer under pain of
dismissal. Thus if every cadet be
commanded to answer and declines,
it means that 500 will be dismissed
from the. academy.
1t is not often that the "silence"
treatment is inflicted upon a superior
officer and the present case is the
first that has occurred since Captain
Lindsay was "silenced" ten years ago.
An inquiry resulted in that officer
being relieved from the military acad-
emy.
With all recreation abolished, foot
ball practice necessarily has been
temporarily suspended and all hop
dates in the near future cancelled.
From various sources it has been
learned that Captain Longan was ISL
fenced" for questioning the veracity
of cadets. AS untruthfulness is
branded the most despicable thing in
cadet life. TO question a mans word
is one of the worst insults that can
be offered.
The under classmen, it is believed,
will follow the lead set by the upper
classmen. The cadets are still under
arrest. According to campus gossip,
antagonism toward Longan arose first
when he refused to allow 1.-The pun
ishment" squad to wear overcoats
when it was raining at night. After
an open break Saturday night. Longan
forced the corps TO leave the mess hall
on the double quick and forced the
hungry cadets to keep it up for an
hour it is said. Sunday he repeated
the tactics because the cadets refused
to eat. until some of them almost
dropped from exhaustion.
