That her father is not only alive
but will arrive in Pendleton as soon
as the spring work is done on his
Wisconsin ranch to assist her in her
fight for the Young estate was tine
sensational statement made yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. Mabel Young War
ner, who last Saturday offered the
seventh will for probate. Recently
Mrs. Warner announced the receipt of
a letter purporting to come from her
father whom she believed dead for
the past twenty-five years but at that
time she declared she was not con-
vinced of the genuineness of the let
ter. Now she says a second letter
just received together with a pho
tograph has removed all doubt that
the man supposed to have been in his
grave for quarter of a century Is
really alive in Cadott, Wisconsin.
Whether or not he is living will be
the subject of much speculation local
ly until the mystery is cleared. Those
who believe Mrs. Warner to be a
fraud artist of colossal calibre profess
to believe that she is surprising her
former self in audacity by securing
a man to impersonate her dead faith
er. Others who are less harsh in their
Judgment of her are inclined to be-
lieve that her story may be true and
that her father in flesh and blood
may appear to take up the fight of
his daughter All agree. however,
that the appearance of man repre-
senting himself as the supposedly dead
man will make complications which
are likely to cause uneasiness to the
| accredited heirs and involve the dis
| putants in another legal embroglio,
Indeed. Mrs. Warner declares en-
phatically that developments will fol-
! low her fathers arrival which will abb
rogate all previous court DEGREES in

Each Probably Secure Entire
Wisconsin Delegations to
Nominating Conventions.
T. R. is NOT MENTIONED
President Taft Overwhelmingly Beat
en- I'm Home State of Progressive
Opponent While Champ Clark Is
Not Conceded Even One Delegate.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 3.-With
Senator La Follete leading President
Taft by more than two votes to one,
and Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey, having won a majority of the
democratic delegates over Speaker
Champ Clark, advocates of the "Peo-
pies Power" movement see nothing
today but success.
Complete returns show a victory for
DR. G. A Bading, the non-partisan
candidate for mayor over Emil Sci
del, the socialist incumbent, by 12,-
S64.
Indications are that Senator La Fol-
lette won the solid delegation to the
republican convention in Chicago.
Supporters of Governor Woodrow
Wilson claim twenty-five out of 26
delegates to the democratic conven-
tion at Baltimore, and will not con-
cede that Champ Clark has the other
four.
Returns from the rural districts are
coming in slowly and it is doubtful
if the entire vote will be counted be-
fore tomorrow
State Senator Blaine, leader of the
La Toilette forces, said that reports
from every district indicate La Fol-
lette carried the state by larger plu-
rality than ever before. Some dis
tricts show four to one in his favor.
Considering that there was no ac-
t1Se speaking in La Follette's favor
and the campaign cost was only abou,
$4,000, the results are certainly sig
nificant.

SMALL DOG CATCHER
HAS A BODY
Prize Fighter Will Attend to
ResentfuI Owners
of CANNES

Accompanied by an ex-prlzefighter
who serves in the capacity of body
guard, Harry Hart, the most noted
dog catcher in the northwest, arrived
in Pendleton yesterday and last night
made his first raid on unlicensed ca
mines, as a result of which 26 yelping
quadrupeds were incarcerated in the
pound at the Oregon Feed Yard this
morning. Six of these have since
been redeemed by owners and others
are expected to be saved from an i'm
pending doom through similar inter-
ference. z
Hart is a small man in stature and
avoirdupois and makes no pretension
of being white hope Many times
during his long career as a profess
sional dogcatcher, he has been rough
ly handled by owners of pets which
he had captured and many more times
he has been threatened with violent
death or Disagreement. On his pre-
'vious appearance in Pendleton he car
ried a revolver for protection but
since experimenting with a pugilist,
he declares he would not do without
one.
IF man comes at me to eat me
up he says. 'all have to do to get
up in my wagon and leave the rest
to my partner. He couldn't catch q
dog in a thousand years, but, believe
me, he can fight some"
Accepts Permanent Position.
Hart announces that he has accept
ed permanent position with the Ore
gon Humane society and in his new
capacity will catch dogs in all of the
cities of the state.
He is operating here with a wagon
and catches the unlicensed dogs with
out the assistance of anything but his
gloved hands. He is adept in his bus
mess and seldom is bitten by an ami

yesterday is substantial advance

yesterday makes a very fair sized late

died in the Good Samaritan Hospital
