 Perhaps there is another inducement just now accountable for the large and happy throng of people who went last evening to recreate themselves-the moon. Glancing over the hills to the west of at dusk men saw the star-trailing cres- cent and thought of moonlight and lakes and motoring and the like and imme- diately the ideal spot for such was sug- gested East Lake.
 Hundreds of people who were eager to relax from their days responsibilities sought out the place where they might be revivifed and exhilerated with the thrilling pleasure mechanisms to be found at the amusement park and after becom- ing sated with excitement found calm and peaceful pleasure on the beautiful lake.
 At present the management is arranging for one of the most elaborate programmes for the Fourth of July ever attempted, when employment will be made of some real thrilers in the way of attractions and a fine band secured. with the addi- tional fealture of a magnificent fireworks display.

 Cunningham was shot through the hip by Waggoner. As soon as his identity was found out and the mistake learned bile to the Hillman hospital, where he underwent an operation for the removal of the bullet. The attending physician stated that his condition was very crit ical. Waggoner was shortly afterwards taken to police headquarters where he explained how the accident occurred.
 The statement of the wounded man made to T. J. Kenny, with whom he boards at 2217 Fourth avenue, coincided with that made by Fireman Waggoner at police headquarters. Cunningham stated that he entered the house by mistake and had reached the top of the stairs be- fore he realized that he was in the wrong place. As soon as the truth dawned on him he hastily left the house and was crossing the yard to the adjoining house where lives when Waggoner saw him by the electric light and shot him from the window of his room. Waggoner ex- pressed his deep regret at the occur renee. but he said 4that he felt justified in taking the extreme precaution un- der the circumstances.

TRAIN ROBBERS
 FAIL TO LAND

Glendale, Ore. June 29.-Apparently mistaking the first section of north bound passenger train No. 16 on the Southern Pacific railroad for a south bound train, said to be carrying a ship ment of s4OO,00O in gold dust from Seattle 10 San Francisco, two robbers held up the northbound train last night near Westfork, an isolated station in Cow Creek canyon.
 The robbers rihed the mail car blowing up the safe and made away with the reg istered mail They tried to secure en- trance to the express car but were foiled by Messenger Robb, who refused to open the door despite threats that they would use dynamite if he resisted. The robbers, atfer frutlessly prying with a crow-bar at the side door of the car, finally desist- ed and decamped with the loot secured from the mail car.
 The amount taken by the robbers can not be ascertained at this time. This train carries in it's registered mail the cash from southern Oregon postoffices to Eugene, Ore, which Is their depository, and this was probably included in the mail stolen.
 l The robbers boarded the train at West l fork while the engine was taking water.

INJUSTICE DONE
 IN HOWLE REPORT
Was Made to Appear That He Admitted Ownership of
 Liquor

Gadsden, June 2e.-(SpeclaL)-It devel- oped here today that an injustice was done J. T. Howle in the report of the trial of Tom Tarvin, on a charge of violating the prohibition law. It was reported by your correspondent that MT. Howle had answered in the affirmative when he was asked If the whisky in question belonged to him.
 An examination of the stenographer's s record shows that the question was asked MT. Howe whether or not he owned the liquor and his counsel objected to the question. The objection was sustained and no answer was made to the ques- ton.
 The report placed Mi. Howle in an especially embarrassing position because it was contrary to the facts he had pre- viously stated to Governor O'Neal in his application for executive clemency
