B|RDSHOT BEING PICKED
FROM BOYS ANATOM|ES

For the purpose of having bird shot
removed from different parts of their
anatomy three Nolin youths have been
in Pendleton during the past few
days. The three were members of
Halloween party which aroused the
ire of w. w. Atherton. the Nolin
merchant, on Halloween night. News
Of the escapade and its near serious
result is Just leaking out.

question, together with some others,
had removed the Atherton buggy from
its place in the shed and run 1t off
over bluff. They had returned for
the wagon when the merchant ap-
peared in the doorway armed with a

double-barreled shotgun.
The boys Immediately turned in
precipitate flight, but they were not
quick enough Two shots rang out
on the night air as fast as the irate
man could pull the trigger and the
boys who were running before, fairly
flew.
One was peppered almost from his
heels to the top Of his head. another
received slight scalp wounds, while
the third received the greater part of
the charge from one barrel In the
calf Of the leg.
It Is said that public sentiment in
the vicinity OF Nolin Is against the
man who did the shooting.

A phenomenal vote is being polled
in Pendleton today. At time of GO
ing to press indications point to a vote
in each of the four precincts in ex-
cess of the registration. 1t is there
fore believed that the vote for the
entire city will be nearly or quite 1900.
Less than 100 votes were cast in
the city two years ago.
The voting started as soon as the
polls were opened in each of the pre-
cincts and there has not been a
breathing spell since that time. At
times there have been as many as Is
people marking heir ballots at a single
polling place.
Apparently it was fortunate that
the voting was started early for
great length of time is being consum-
ed in the balloting. One man who
went into the booth with a card con-
tanning the numbers he desired to
vote and who did not waste any time
whatever consumed five minutes.
Men who had studied the ballot
carefully before hand and knew just
how they desired to vote required on
an average of ten minutes, while some
voters were in the booth for as long
as 80 minutes. The average in East
minutes to the ballot
That election boards in the larger
precincts will be kept busy all night
is also apparent. It is estimated that
at least two minutes will be required
to count each ballot. Therefore in a
precinct with 800 voters it would re-
quire exactly ten hours Of continu-
Gus work to count the votes.
In Pendleton, the election board
in the South precinct will have the
longest task. There are 311 regis
tered voters there and it is estimated
that the total vote cast will be ap-
proximately 925, possibly more. At
2:45, 260 votes had been cast in that
precinct and there was a crowd of
voters waiting for an opportunity to
cast their ballot.
In North Pendleton IT'S votes had
been cast when the polls were closed
for lunch. The registration in the
precinct is 299.
In Pendleton precinct with a reg
istration Of 800, 154 ballots had been
cast when the polls were closed for
lunch and in East Pendleton with a
registration Of only 199, practically
the same number Of votes had been
cast as in each of the other precincts.
The polls will remain open until
o'clock and from present appear
ances it will be nearly o'clock be-
fore the last ballot is placed in the
box. The election officers will then
go for the evening meal and IL will
probably be $3.50 or later before the
count will be started in the Pendleton
precinct. 1t will thus be seen that
the count cannot be completed before
6 o'clock tomorrow and some esti-
mates place it as late as IL o'clock.
1t is estimated that the rain has
had the effect of increasing the vote
in the country precincts and it is
therefore expected that the vote for
the entire county will be phenomenal.
