STOCK EXCHANGE Is
AFFECTED BY DEATH

New York, March 31.-Flurries and
fractional losses marked the opening
OF the stock exchange. The excite
ment was intense. There were no in
dications of serious losses as a result
of Morgan's death. The bank of
Morgan and Company closed on ac-
count of the death
Confidence that the death will not
seriously affect the market was eX-
pressed on all sides. Though tense
ness was felt at the opening, it fails
to produce any sensations. Steel op'
ened three quarters OF point lower.
Southern Railway opened an eighth
lower but rallied. Reading opened a
point lower but recovered immediate
ly. Louisville and Nashville op-
ened one quarter or a point higher.
Flags were lowered in Wall street.
1t was announced the stock exchange
would not close today. Members of
Morgan and Company say that here
after the firm will confine itself to
a strictly conservative banking pol
icy. devoting little time to specula-
ton.

KEG OF BEER CAUSES
AN EXCITING RACE

Saturday afternoon witnessed an eX-
citing chase on the reservation be-
tween Billy Mckay, we'll known In
dian policeman. and Harry Redford,
an allottee. with the former the vic
tor though not until his purpose had
in a measure been thwarted. While
in PendletOn during the afternoon, the
vigilant eye of Joe Craig espied Red
ford in the act of loading a beer keg
into his wagon at the local brewery.
He notified Mckay and when Redford
drove toward the reservation, Mckay
followed in his own buggy. As the
former stopped at the agency to let
.hs wife and mother alight. Mckay
drove up but before he could arrest
his quarry Redford had whipped up
his team and started up the road at "A
lively pace. Mckay whipped up his
own team and for mile and a quar-
ter the pursuer and the pursued raced
at breakneck speed.
The Indian policeman finally over
took the fugitive and arrested him
but when he examined the keg he
found the bung hole open and the keg
almost empty of everything save a
strong odor of hop juice 1t is
presumed that Redford opened the
bung during the race and allowed the
lquor to run out. In fact Mckay
states that he noticed the beer run
ming out of the keg during the pur-
suit.
Redford will be turned over to the
government officers on charge ot
introducing liquor on the reservation
as there was stir a small quantity OF
the beer left in the keg. 1t is pos
sible. also, that charge of resisting
arrest will be filed against him.

reduces farther the danger of a flood.
Some flooding of property along the
levee on Water street was caused yes
terday morning through delay in clos

the pressure that the gate could not be

UMAT|LLA RIVER FALLS RAPIDLY;
But LITTLE DAMAGE is DONE HERE

With fall of over a foot within
the past twenty-four hours, the Una
tilla river presents less of a threat
ening aspect than it did Saturday night
ana Sunday morning. Though at no
time was there any grave danger of
a flood, all reports to the. contrary
Notwithstanding, the river was flowing
high and, with the horrors of the. re-
cent Ohio and Indiana disasters fresh
III their minds, many of the more ner-
vous entertained apprehensions that
the waters would break over the
banks of the stream
Practically the only damage done
here in Pendleton was at Roundup
Park below the end of the levee. The
high waters flooded the barns and
corralS and it became necessary to
remove such stock as was quartered
there. However, as the water was
backed in. no great amount of damage
was down from washing. Members of
the Roundup directorate were down
at the park at various times during
the day and kept close eye on the
water The flooding yesterday re-
wives the agitation for an extension Of
the levee to the end of the park and
the matter will probably be brought to
the attention of the city council in the
near future. Members of the Round
lup board stated this morning that a
flood such as was had here some years
back would do damage to the park
