pistol. All the guns were empti-
ed but few of the shots took eff
feet as Stroud was hit but twice.
once in the left arm, another
struck him in the right side and
a portion of the bullet came out
at the left side, penetrating both
lungs. Another shot had grazed
his right hand. Clay received a
flesh wound under the right arm
in the side but it has caused no
serious damage.
Stroud was As years old and is
survived by his aged parents
whom he supported. He had
been city marshal for several
terms and from what can be
learned had caused the enmity
of all those implicated in the
shooting at various times before.
There had been bad feeling for
some time at least and those fam
liar with the situation were eX-
pecting trouble. Lowell and
Matheny are new comers and re-
sided on Cow Creek. The others
had resided in Harney for years.
These are the facts as nearly
as could be ascertained from those
with whom the writer could talk.
The Times-Herald does not be-
lieve 1t right to make comment
at this time owing to the lack of
definite information. Itisa mat
ter for the courts to settle and as
the grand jury will soon meet
and circuit court convenes next
it is not right that this
paper give other than just such
facts as are necessary at this
time.

China Pheasants to Come at Once

= The China pheasants promised
by State Game Warden Finley
are soon to be shipped to the Rod
and Gun Club according to a letter
just received from Mr.. Finley by
DR.. L. E. Hibbard. Mr.. Finley
writes that he has asked Gene
Simpson of Corvallis to take the
matter up with the Club immedi-
ately and that two dozen pair
will be shipped. He further
states that if we are in a position
to care for them three dozen pair
will be shipped as.
Those interested should confer
with DR.. Hibbard at once as it is
desired to get the three dozen if
proper care can be taken of the
birds but there will be a portion
of them kept in captivity until
spring. This is a matter that
should appeal to the sportsmen
of this section as these pheasants
are among the very best game
birds we can secure and it is i'm
portant that they be handled
with care.
