Thugs Open Fire on Him When
He Asks Them to Explain
Their Actions.
WOUNDED MAN HELD
HERE MAY BE ONE
Says He Was Shot in Portland
While Attempting to
Board Cars There.

John Iollner, city marshal of Gervais
and one of the most widely known off
GERS in the county, was shot through the
neck and backbone shortly after l
o clock this morning by two unknown
men when the marshal attempted to ar
rest them near the Depot hotel. Zoll-
ner's body was paraIyzed by the bullet
which passed through his backbone,
near the base of the neck, and small
hopes for his recovery are entertained.
The assailants fled following the shoot
ing and Sheriff Esch, heading a party
of other officers and citizens are scour-
ing the county in search of them today.
Only meager description Of tEe two
men was obtained for the reason Mar
shal Zollner is unable to talk or move
his hands and the officers are at loss
for clew upon which to work. Imme
diately after Zollner was shot, help
came and he whispered few words
among which he described one of the
men as being heavy set and wearing 0
black hat and the other being tai
man wearing light cap.

GAME COMMISSIONS IS
STILL ON. JOB SAYS
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Insists Cannot Quit Until Sue
cessOrs Are Named and
Qualified.
GOVERNOR TO ACT SOON
Will Appoint Three Members of
Commission, Leaving Kelly, Named
BY Commission in Place.

Attorney General Crawford this
morning, at the request Of the secre-
tary of state, rendered the following
opinion on the matter Of the fish and
game wardens. Robbed of legal ver-
biage, the attorney-general holds that
the statutes provide for the appoint
ment Of four members Of the fish and
game commission by the governor, and
the naming by these four of a fifth,
the latter holding office one year, and
those those named by the governor
holding one, two, three and four years,
respectively Under the rules laid
down by the courts an appointee to
any office, where the power Of remov-
al is not especially given in the act,
cannot be removed unless for cause
such as being convicted of crime, nor
can he resign so as to make his resig-
nation effective until his successor is
appointed and qualified. Therefore,
there can be no intertegnum, and the
tender Of the resignation and the ac-
ceptance thereof by the proper author
ity does not perfect his resignation, un-
til his successor is named and qualified.
Hence there is now no vacancy, and
the fish and game commission is still
in existence, and the wardens are sol
idly on their jobs. The secretary is in
formed that he can legally draw his
warrant for the payroll submitted by
the wardens, and their bonds would
protect him.

DENVER BLIZZARD CLOSES
SCHOOLS AND TIES
UP BUSINESS

Denver, Colo, Dec. Sat 8 O'Clock
this morning it was estimated that 25.S
inches of snow had fallen in "a hours,
breaking all records for the same period
lin the west. Since the storm began at
midnight Wednesday there has been no
cessation of the snowfall.
At dusk yesterday blizzard was
blowing and snow banks were several
feet deep in the downtown streets.
Hundreds of workers spent the night
downtown, and every hotel and lodg-
ing house in the city was crowded to
capacity, Hundreds slept on cots in
office buildings. Police stations, pub
lie schools and the Auditorium building
sheltered hundreds of others.
All the public schools were closed to-
day, and many concerns, such as ex.
press and transfer companies, were
compelled to abandon business alto
gether.

Snow still Falling.

At noon the snow was still falling
hale an inch an hour. The weather bu-
reau estimated that 20 inches had fall
len at that time.
Today's prediction was for continued
snow today and tonight, with clear and
colder weather Saturday.
A report received here at noon stated
that a big irrigation ditch at Globeville
had given way, sending flood Of wa
ter down upon a number of houses.
Twenty-Five families, it was said, were
driven into the snowdrifts, So far as
known no fatalities occurred.

Governor Now VIII Appoint.

On top Of this there is another phase
Of the matter, fort governor will un-
doubtedly take hand in the game. 1t
is understood he will, in the very near
future, appoint three members Of the
commission, leaving Kelley, who was
appointed by the commission, and
whose resignation the governor has no
authority to accept, and Kinney, who
has not resigned, on the board. This
will fill the board and start the bust
ness going again legally. What this new
commission will do is to be seen, for it
will be up to them. Two Of these mem
bers, il is stated, will come from East
ern Oregon, as the law requires that.
II is probable the affairs Of the COM
mission will be conducted along new
lines, and that the new wardens,
whether the old ones are reappointed
or not, will be subservient to the com.
mission instead Of being the whole
thing Kinney's case is in the hands
Of the governor, but he gives no init.
nation as to what he will do in the
matter.

In re.checking the names on the ini-
tiative petition calling for the local OPP
tion election which was held in Salem
November A, County Clerk Gehlhar to-
day found that the petition bore the
signatures of only 1853 registered voters.
This opens up another matter for discus
sion and possibly for the courts for the
reason there should have been 252
names on the petition in order to sub
init the local option issue to the voters
With this new phase in the case
wherein the county court is being re-
strained temporarily from declaring the
results Of the election held on Novem-
Der 4, it is claimed there are no doubts
now but that the election is illegal
There being SO names shy Of the num-
Der required to authorize the county
clerk to place the local option measure
on the ballot, the entire election is liza
BILE, so attorneys claim, to be declared
void.

Assault Unexpected.

According to the meager information
that can be secured concerning the af-
fair, Zollner was shot when he least
expected it, 1t is said that he Observed
the two men sneaking about the rear
doors Of the store belonging to August
Miller. The marshal followed them be-
hind the store and the couple walked
away toward the Depot hotel. Marshal
Zollner, thinking the men were up to
something not proper, followed them to
the hotel and just as he was in the act
of stepping up to them and making in
quiries, they drew revolvers and began
firing at tho officer. Zollner returned
the fire. but had shot but three times
when one Of the bullets from the guns
in the other men IS hand struck the mar.
shal in the neck, telling him instantly.
The wound received by ZOllner is a
nasty one and If he RECEIVERS the attend
ing physicians believe It win be mira
Gle. The bullet, which was one of large
saIibre, entered zollner's neck just
above his low shirt collar, and passed
through the fleshy part and on through
the backbone at the base Of the neck
Owing to the fact the shot shattered the
officers backbone, the physicians are
unable to give the slightest assurance
