WARM WELCOME AFTER
STRENUOUS TRIP.

(From the Heppner Herald.)
Deputy Sheriff George McDuffee.
hero of the recent train hold-up. who
had been in st. Anthony's hospital at
Pendleton since the morning OF
Thursday, July .. arrived home sun
day evening on the train. George
slipped in with but very few being
aware of his coming but a delegation
of friends were at the station to grip
his hand and give him a warm well
come.
George has been kept busy all week
explaining how it all happened and
has been congratulated on all sides
for his unflinching bravery.
Just how a revolver bullet acts
when II strikes anything can be seen
by examining the articles shown in
Haylor's window. which were in
George McDuffe's vest pocket when
he was shot in his right side in the
train holdup. The pocket comb was
broken in the middle. the brass pencil
holder was truck in the middle and
bent in V shape. Several business
cards were in the pocket and these,
We think were largely responsible for
causing the bullet to be DETECTED. In
fact, they show that the bullet was
turned aside on their faces. Paper
is one of the most difficult articles
to shoot through. The bullet which
struck Roosevelt during the last pres
idential campaign was rendered
harmless because 1t struck a bundle
of papers in his pocket. 1t is said
that Roosevelt was going to cut down
his speech. which was written on this
paper. but on second thought did not
do so. This probably saved his life
George said that he had large num-
ber OF cards in his pocket short
while before. but he had given then
away rapidly and he had but a few
left. II he had had very large
number, the bullet would never have
gone through.

TRACE DIPHTHERIA TO MILK.
Health Officials Find Twelve Cases
Due To One Dairy.

CHICAGO. July 1S.-Dr Homan
Spalding, chief of the bureau of med
ieal inspection, announced today that
twelve cases of diphtheria in West
Pullman have been traced to impure
milk. 1t was found that nine OF the
victims of the disease used milk OBJ
tanned exclusively from one milkman
while the other three obtained part
OF their milk from this source.
An investigation of the health de-
partment disclosed the fact that the
dairyman and his two employees are
diphtheria carriers" They were i'm
mediately separated from active par
ticipation in the business and the
place was fumigated
We are practically certain that
the epidemic resulted from the uss
OF this milk" said oDr. Spalding.
While the man and his employees
were not i'll, yet an analysis OF cul-
lures made from their throats show
ed positive indications OF Jiphtheria
bacteria. A few years ago the author
tiles would not have suspected that
the milk supply was to blame in To-
