Cupid Has Hard Fight.

Dan Cupid had a four round mill
with County Clerk Frank Sailing today
before he finally won favorable de-
cision. The fight centered about one
Bert Higgins and a widow, Mrs. Daisy
F. Hill. who are now Mr.. and Mrs.
Bert Higgins by virtue of Cupid's vic
tory. Guided by the aforesaid Dan,
the couple came over from Walla
Walla this morning and applied to
the county clerk for a marriage Ii
cense In answering the questions
put to her, Mrs. Hill admitted that
her home is in the Garden City, un-
aware of the residence clause in the
oregon marriage, laws. The license
was forthwith refused and the indig
nant bride-elect hurried to a law Of
flee where she secured the services of
an attorney. The attorney, upon be-
ing retained, hurried to the county
clerk, took down a musty statute
book and attempted to interpret the
laws for the county clerk, but that
official refused to see the meaning
as interpreted. The widows next
step was to secure a local citizen who
had known her when she did live in
Pendleton Sc, eraf years ago. That
citizen made affidavit of her past
residence but even that refused to
satisfy the county clerk and finally
in desperation the woman hunted up
a man who was willing to swear that
she makes her home here now. The
law satisfied, the clerk was forced to
issue the permit.

suddenly displayed a big oil cloth
sign, on which was printed in black

What Senator Root said about
Penrose and his followers:
"They are an aggregation of GRIM

There was a wild road. The chief
of police gave a sharp order, doz-
en- blue coats rushed into the gallery,
the sign was pulled away and the
man displaying it was summarily
elected.
Flynn of Pennsylvania, declared the
police were exceeding their right. He
said they had no right to act that
way "You fellows who won't stand

responsible for this interference with

DEMOS Do NOT TAKE

Baltimore, June 22.-No one could
be found among the various democrat
is campaign managers who was ready
to treat seriously the suggestion that
any of the leading democratic pro-
gressives would be willing to accept
second place on a possible third tick
ct headed by Roosevelt. One of the
Wilson national campaign managers
remarked; "The governor will accept
only one nomination and that is the
democratic nomination for president.
He has let it be known that he viii
not be a candidate for vice president
on the democratic ticket, therefore it
is absurd to suppose he would accept
such a nomination under any other
auspices"

FLIRTING PRINCESS
A PLEASING SHOW

A most pleasing and entertaining
comic opera was THE Flirting Prin-
cess which appeared above the Ore
goon Theater footlights last night
before a full house. Music which
was both new and catchy, some novel
dances and clever all-round troupe
are elements which always captivate
an audience and the offering last
might was strong in these features.
Harry Bulger, the same Harry mi
nus mayhap a little sprightliness, that
delighted audiences decade ago, fur
nished some moments of entertain
ment last evening but the real char
acter hit of the evening was the little
Miss Fuller, the comedienne, who had
"a most inimitable way of talking her
songs.
One of the strong features of the
piece was the GLOOMY Glooms''
while the Texas Tommy and Jack o.
lantern dances also caught the fancy
of the people below the lights.

YOUNG BOY KILLED
BY ELDER BROTHER
SHOOTING, WHICH OCCURRED
NEAR GAscoN, BELIEVED TO
HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTAL.

News reached here today of the
killing Saturday afternoon of Juan
Esquibel, the S-year-old son of Boni-
facio Esquibel of the neighborhood of
Gascon. The boy met his death as
the result of a wound inflicted by his
elder brother, Maximiano Esquibel,
aged 20. Whether the shooting was
intentional or accidental is not known
as Maximiano fled Immediately after
the tragedy and all efforts to find him
have been fruitless.
1t is believed by persons living near
the Esquibels that the death of the
boy was the result of an accident and
that the elder brother took to flight
because he was overcome with fright
and remorse at the carelessness that
caused him to kill his little brother.
The two We're preparing 10 go upon
hunting trip and were gathering to-
gether their guns and game bags when
the shooting occurred They were
still within their fathers nome when
the 22 caliber rifle held by Meximi-
ano was discharged. The bullet enter
ed the forehead of the younger boy
boy and he fell dead upon the floor.
1t is likely that Sheriff Gallegos
and District Attorney Ward will make
an investigation to determine whether
or not the shooting was accidental.
Every effort to locate the elder Es-
quibel boy will be made. The shoot
ing occurred in San Miguel county,
just across the line from Mora coun-
