TO FIGHT FOR HOME RULE
At ELECTION TO Be HELD NEXT MONTH

Milton has been free from tipping
houses for so long that the memory
o. man runneth not to the contrary.
1t was this condition, according to
popular tradition, that gave Freewater
its birth on the outskirts of Milton.
Lovers of the cup that cheers. dispair-
ing of ever voting in the saloon in
Milton it is said, moved their resi-
dences just beyond the northern boun-
daries of the city and Incorporated
themselves into town which they
named Freewater, and immediately
proceeded to open up thirst quench-
ing parlors.
However. this town suffered with
other saloon communities at the local
option election in 1905 and has since
offered no intoxicating beverage for
sale. According to many residents OF
that city, the election which has been
called will only prove more substan-

HUMAN SKELETON
FOUND BY WORKAEN

While engaged in excavating for a
water pipe line from the new asylum
main to the old Charles Myers house
just west of the city, workmen this
morning unearthed the grinning skel-
eton of human form and it is caus-
ing much speculation among the curl
Gus minded. There is no evidence of
foul play about the skull and no one
suspects that there is any great mys-
terry connected with the white bones.
The skeleton was found on the tract
of land recently purchased by the state
, from Charles Myers who had owned
, the land since it was first plated as
part of Utopian Gardens, in 1898.
Mr. Myers declares to his knowledge
no body was inferred on his land dur
ing his ownership and thinks, as do
many others, that the bones are the
remains of some Indian buried there
in early days by his tribesmen.

MISCREANT is FREED
Youthful Twirler OF Lariat, Enabled
by Practicing Roundup Fcats,
Turns Ability to Good Use When
Mothers Hen Roost is Plundered.

The spirit of emulation which has
possessed nine out of every ten of the
boys Of the city since they witnessed
the feats of the Roundup perform
ers was responsible for the frustra-
ton of "a chicken thiefs attempt to
make away with a fat hen this morn
ming when boy by the name of Smith
discovered the man in flight with the
chicken under his arm, pursued him
with his trusty rope, cast the run
ming moose about one foot of the fu
gitive, tripped him up and secured the
chicken. Content with securing the
stolen fowl and frightened by his own
success, the boy then ran home while
the thief made his getaway.
The sensational incident occurred
early this morning in the west end of
town. The Smith boy had arisen
shortly after daybreak and was on
his way down town to cash a check
foT his father who is employed in lay
ing water pipe near the asylum site.
He took with him his lariat which
has been his constant companion since
the Roundup and with which he has
grown quite proficient.
As he neared the railroad "Y" in
the west end of the city, he saw a man
skulking rapidly away from the rear
end of a dwelling with hen under
his arm. As he ran, the man began
wringing the neck of his feathered
victim. The boy opened the moose OF
his rope and waited for the thief and
with a we'll directed east ensnared one
foot of the man and sent him sprawl
ing with a sudden jerk. The dead
chicken was released in the fall and
the boy, quickly grabbing it, turned
and fled back toward his home.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice but as the boy had not taken
time to inspect his captive. no ade-
quate description could be obtained.
He was undoubtedly a hobo sent out
By his fellows on an early morning

attack on the initiative and referend-
um laws in Oregon by the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany. which in a brief filed in the
United States suprem ecourt yester-
day, alleged the oregon tax law is
invalid because it was enacted under
the initiative, which the company
holds is federally unconstitutional
Governor West today said that the
state would fight the case hard.
Many attorneys profess to see in
the attack an attempt to XII all ini-
tiative and referedum legislation in
the United States, all of which is
based on the Oregon system.
If the supreme court would hold
the Oregon law unconstitutional, they
say this would be the result.

War Soon TO End,

London, oct. diplomats here be-
lieve that fighting between Turkey
and Italy will last only a little longer.
1t Is believed that Turkey will soon
yield to Italy and cede Tripoli in ex-
change for some money and liberal
treatment in other ways. 1t is point
ed out that Italy cannot we'll oppose
such step because her relations with
other countries is such that she can
not insist on severe terms without
facing Intervention by the powers.
Although no English statesman
would stand as authority 1t is report
ed that England has quietly told the
Porte that he must yield. For years
England has stood behind Turkey, vir-
tually guaranteeing its existence, for
England's own ends and as a result
word from England carries much
weight with the Sultan. 1t is said al
so that England has told the Porte
that partition of the Ottoman en-
pire will not be tolerated.

No More Stril,ebreal,ers.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct 4.-The recruit
ing Of strikebreakers by the Illinois
Central to take the place of striking
shopmen over the eptire system, has
been abandoned, according to an Of
fetal announcement given out at the
headquarters of the company today.
In explanation of this unexpected
move on the part of the railroad, it
is said that the decision is the result
of fear that the rioting resultant from
the employment of strikebreakers
would cause legislation to be enacted
against the railroad companies.
A high railroad official today said:
1--WE have a perfect right to fill
the places vacated by the strikers,
but we fear it would result in blood
shed f we send any more strikebreak-
ers into the south"
The belief is prevalent here that
if the strikers refuse 20 obey the fed
eral injunction which was issued
against them, the Illinois Central
company will request the assistance
Of United States troops in putting
down the strike.

PRACTICAL JOKER IS

coin rendered in payment young
George. Clark gave his customer a
handful of silver in change. Now the
Teutonic granger IS as careful as he
is frugal and slowly counted the mon

had not made a mis- take in the change
To the express messenger. this
procedure was amusing and thinking
to have little fun at the expense of
the German, he took quarter out of
his own pocket placed it on the floor
by the farmers feet and then picked
it up with the remark, There's five
good. beers" The German, thinking
he had dropped the two-bit piece, i'm
mediately demanded its return but
Steel promptly informed him that he
went by the rule of flinders keepers" D"
The Germans sense of humor
could not appreciate this and he
quickly went in search of a police

arrested and followed the officer and
