Deputy Sheriff Joe Blakely re-
turned last night from Arlington hav-

man who shot and dangerously
wounded Charles Silk at Umatilla.

shooting but declares his victim also

and saying that there are two sides

matter.
Silk continues to improve at the To-

ANDRUS' INVENTION
Is DEMONSTRATE Ed

Automobile users of the city have
been quite interested today in the
first demonstration being made of the
resilient steel auto wheel invented by
G.. s. Andrus, a wheelwright and
blacksmith of Grant county. Two of
the wheels have been put on the back
aXles of the Pruitt car and the ma
chine has been speeding about the
city all day demonstrating the jar alb
sorbing ability of the wheels.
The principle of the wheel is en-
tirely different from that of the Isaac
Jay wheel recently patented. While
the Jay wheel relies upon curved
steel strap Spokes for reducing the
shock, the Andrus wheel is supplied
with coil springs on the inside of the
hub for its utility. The latter wheel
has not been patented but the inven-
tor has applied for patent and his
invention has received so much praise
from mechanics that he does not doubt
that he will secure it.
The demonstration of the wheel has
been entirely successful today, the au-
to being propelled over bumps of un-
usual size with the occupants in the
back seats being hardly aware of
the fact. Interested with Mr.. An
drus in the wheel are w. C. e Pruitt
and Ed McBroom and they are now
contemplating the organization of a
company for its manufacture.

BRYAN SUPPORTS
WILSON'S POSITION
Says Governor Had Right to
Shake off Discredited
Supporter

Lincoln, Neb, Feb. Further
evidence that w. j. Bryan will sup
port Governor Wilson's candidacy for
the democratic presidential nominal
ton, is seen today in the Commoner
editorial, in which Mr.. Bryan sides
with Wilson in Wilson's controversy
with Colonel Harvey. editor of Har-
per's Weekly.
The editorial says: "If the friends
of Colonel Harvey succeed in estab-
fishing the doctrine that a candidate
has not the right to shake off a dis
credited supporter, then Wall street
will be in position to drive all pro-
gressive candidates from the field.
'It will be only necessary to divide
the most odorous representatives, of
predatory wealth among the black
listed candidates and start them eulo-
gizing the victims of conspiracy.
"While Governor Wilson may not
be the most available candidate for
president it will take more than a
break with Colonel Harvey to put him
out of the running"

BUMPER CROP WITH
LITTLE RAINFALL

Figures just compiled by z. F. Av-
erill, official weather observer, at the
request of this paper show some very
curious features regarding the rain
fall of the past year. Although Una
tilla county farmers harvested one
of the best crops in years last season,
the rainfall for the year 1911 was al
most six inches below normal. The
precipitation for the twelve months
totaled S.21 inches whereas the nor
NAL for a year is 140S.
Although the new year opened
with the rainfall for the wet season
considerably below, the heavy pre-
cipitation during the past month has
brought it to more than an inch
above normal. The figures show that
7l6 inches have fallen between Sep
tember, 1911, and January, 1912, in
elusive, whereas the normal for that
time is $50 inches. incidentally, the
rainfall for January just past was
4,1S inches. almost three times the
normal amount and more than eight
times the amount received in Jan
uary, 1911.
The following figures show the
amount of rain secured during each
month of the year 1911.
January, 40; February, 1.44;
March, 25 April is; May, 1.47;
June, 1.29; July. none; August. II;
