PHOENIX HUNTERS
 ARRESTED AS SUSPECTS

TOUT prominent DuSln0SS men from Phoenix were held up here last week suspected of being four generals from Orozco's
 Mexican army, who had escaped without pay.
 The men and their baggage was thoroughly searched and several rifles, shotguns and re- volvers of various calibre and guages, together with fish poles and a good supply of fish lines and hooks nd small supply of bait. After heated argument with the sheriff it was decided that they were short of bait. and after discovering that it was to dry to dig or even cut bait over in Apache county at anything like a reasonable cost, the sheriff allowed them to purchase liberal amount here. The amount of bait purchased by them proved to our authorities that they had not escaped with out pay, as the roll of bills that Geo. Driscoll, the undertaken, took from the leg of his hunting boots satisfied the officers that he represented the National Casket Co.,, and that the party were nothing more or less than officials of the various dis-trusts and had considerable easy money.
 It was difficult to get any one to recognize Frank Connolly, as before leaving Phoenix he had a tailor made to wear hunting -suit-perfect ft-but for some reason presumably altitude and climate, Frank expanded and the boys had to use a long handled button hook to button his trousers and they also bought half yard of rubber to put letter V in the back to take care or any further expansion. His name on the inside of his outsky shirt was the only means of identification.
 Vic Hanny, who advertises with the back of his head be- cause his face always hurts him, was easily identified as the popular clothing merchant of Phoenix. who expects to make a million out of bis outsky shirt copyright. It was fortunate for the whole party that Vic had sold goods up i'll this neck of the woods when it was hard to buy bait.
 It was a hard matter to get the credential committee to pass Colin Bury. with his insky-out- sky ice cream suit, as some of the northern Arizona people paid the Phoenix doctors enormous fees for professional services after partaking of the tempting  year around relishes of the Donofiro-Bury establishment in that city, but at the urgent re- quest of his associates and some of our townsmen he was allow ed to buy some bait and hunt a higher altitude.

BIG Fight Expected.

Chicago, June IA big fight is
expected over the temporary roll.
Roosevelt men say that they will
never accept the national committees
roll call and that they will challenge it
and offer substitutes.
A majority of the members of the
national committee sent defiant word
to Roosevelt today saying they will
make the temporary roll, prepared
by the national convention, the roll
of the convention. Roosevelt de-
manded of Chairman Rosewater that
only the delegates of uncontested ere
dentials be permitted to vote on the
question of temporary organization
and this demand was turned down.
The Taft men announce that they
will reject any roll the Roosevelt
men may offer as a substitute for the
roll prepare by the national commit
tee, while the Roosevelt men say that
if their substitute is rejected no busi-
MSS will be done at the convention. The
Taft men retort that there will be
enough police on hand to suppress
all rowdies," even those wearing
Roosevelt buttons. 1t appears the
only chance for avoiding actual ply
sicial battle tomorrow is in the abil-
ity of the Roosevelt men to get
enough votes between now and to-

welt forces, these problems, which
were held to be vital by the progress
sives of the western states, had been
left out. being mentioned only in a
general way. They are endorsed. but
the endorsement Is very weak. Direct

PILOT ROCK GROOM'S
STRENUOUS TRIP
Carl Ris,. "NewIwed," and Bride
Will Long Remember
Festive Occasion
fsnecial correspondence.)

Pilot Rock, June 17.-Carl Ris and
his bride have taken a solemn vow
never again to wed, at least not until
they get out of this community. The
reason for this strange resolution Is
the reception rendered them this NOR
ming while on their way to Pendleton
and after they arrived here.
Ris, be It known, is something of
practical Joker and his victims about
the Rock are numbered about the
score. These, therefore, hailed with
delight that he was to be married
while on a trip to Portland and they
waited impatinently his return. He
and Mrs. Ris arrived in Pendleton yes
terday and this morning entrained for
Pilot Rock. When they entered the
coach they found that someone had
anticipated them for it was decorated
for tho occasion. Inscriptions de-
signed to proclaim the newness or
their marital relations were scattered
everywhere.
When about a mile from their des-
tination, the bridegroom was suddenly
seized from behind and bound, ana
despite the employment of every arti-
flee known to woman by his bride, he
was dumped from the train. They
figured. however, without his pocket
knife. for, no sooner had he struck
the earth than he whipped out this
knife, slashed his bonds and after
desperate squirt overlook the train
that carried his bride,
Arriving in Pilot Rock they were
greeted by almost the entire town.
and the brass band, showered with
rice and old shoes, lifted bodily into
a buggy, adorned for the occasion
and drawn by six boys. In this they
were whisked to their home to be met
by another throng and forced to run
another gauntlet. Business was sus-
pended for the time, even the bank
hanging out a notice that the doors
would be closed during the Ris chara-
vari.
The bride is a sister of L. c. Scharpf
cashier of the bank, and Mr.. Ris Is
the assistant cashier.

DR.. TEMPLE MAY BE
new Superintendent
Local Doctor Doomed For Asylum
Head,..Dr. PIamondon Is
Job Seeker Again

DR.. l. L. Temple and DR.. ]. D. Pla-
mondon are rival candidates for the
position of superintendent of the
Eastern oregon state hospital accord
ing to a news story from Salem. The
story is to the effect that the two
men named are the only applicants
thus far and that the board is liable
to elect a superintendent the first Of
next month.
Plamondon was originally appoined
as superintendent by Acting Governor
Jay Bowerman but was quickly re-
moved from office by the new state
board for the reason the position was
unnecessary at that time while Pla-
monden's competency was also called
into question.
In local circles it is freely predicted
that DR.. Temple will receive the ap-
pointment in the event the contest is
one between himself and DR.. Pla-
mondon. -~a-

pie at large, and first come first serv-

Like Old Times.
More than 700 delegates and alter
mates, beside many other persons
crowded past the doors of the Eliza
bethan room of his hotel and shook
hands with Roosevelt at a mid day
meeting which lasted 80 minutes. All
were jerked past in the old 7. Il.
whitehouse style.
Chicago, June 17..--An organized
attempt was begun today to get a
solid Texas delegation for Taft. The
men behind the movement say Taft
will get the entire delegation before
vote is reached in the convention.
Roosevelt's lieutenants today map
ped out a complete plan for the fight
tomorrow. All possible developments
are covered.
Delegates Score Root.
Roosevelt strength developed today
among the Illinois delegates at a
meeting held to thresh out the line
up on the proposition of Roots elec-
ton to temporary chairman of the
convention. Three delegates who
had been placed among six of the Taft
supporters spoke against Root. That
certain pledges had been obtained
from delegates all over the country
to switch to Cummins, of Iowa, on
early ballots was the declaration to-
day made by former Judge Miller of
Des Moines, one of the foremost
boosters of Cummins.
Taft Charges Bribery.
Chicago, June 17.-Taft managers
today planned a demand for the in
vestigation of charges of bribery. Half
dozen affidavits are said to be in
possession of the Taft forces. Taft
supporters, charging in several in
stances that as much as $4,000 has
been offered delegates for the trans
fer of their allegiance. Roosevelt
men say the charge is ridiculous.

morrow to control the convention.
Roosevelt says he will have those
votes, Taft men say he can't get
them.
Hadley Possibly L. RS Mated
The conference between Roosevelt
and his lieutenants has resulted in
naming Governor Hadley of Missouri
as the floor leader of the Roosevelt
fighting forces at the convention. This
was commented on today as indicat-
ing Roosevelt's possible preference
for Hadley as his running mate.
Taft-Cummins Trade.
Chicago, June 17.-During the late
forenoon a report was circulated that
the Cummins delegation from Iowa
will unite with the Taft forces on
the organization of the convention and
will vote with them to accept the
temporary roll. After this they will
break and attempt to prevent Taft's
nomination. The trade is reported to
be the result of a certain concession
to the Cummins people in the matter
of organization. Such deal would
probably cinch the acceptance of the
national committees program.
