Gardiner Twirler Wild

Gardiner presented in the box young
man named Richards, lately of the
Brooklyn Federal League team. Although
not hit hard he was very wild and barely
pulled through the eighth inning, when
with two out an error let man to first
and he passed two men, filing the bases.
In the ninth after his teammates had put
the winning run under him. he showed
a flash of form and famed Fortier, who
had made three hits and drew a pass in
his previous trips to the plate. But
French's safety disheartened him and he
passed Fuller and had two balls with no
strikes on Bell when Charlie Allen called
him out of the box.

Augusta from Beginning

Plunged in despair from the start,
the Granite City lads were forced to
acknowledge the superiority of the
Senators.
Violette struck the blow which
started Hallowell on it's toboggan
slide in the opening session, when
with two on, he singled, sending two
runs across. Harvey came through
with a clout which sent another over
the pan. Three big runs. which proved
sufficient to win.

HalIoweII Fields Wretchedly.

It was indeed a miserable inning for
McPhee, his team fielded wretchedly
behind him and this with those two
drives spelled defeat.
In the seventh Coady started off by
being retired. McPhee to Fraser
Smith had had hard luck, the "Ump"
was calling strikes on him that the
catcher had to pick up from the dirt.
But this time McPhee's splitter was
on the elevator and as a consequence
the Augusta backstop walked. Vio-
lette sent up a high fly to Boardman.
1t was up to MacGhee to hit, and so
he dropped a nice single into left.
Smith sailed home. And again Nc
Phee found Clutter Harvey at bat,
who picked out one and put it to the
bank in center field. Two base hit was
written all over the wallop and by
fast springing MacGhee reached the
plate. Appleton went down, Pagan to
Fraser for the third out.
HaIlowell's Turn
Hallowell up to the eighth session
had seven round goose eggs on the

which Harvey got under but failed to

a screeching wo-bagger, sending both
runs across the plate.
In the ninth was no scores were
made and the game was over
Stinson pitched good ball, keeping
his hits we'll scattered. Harvey was
high man with the stick, with two sin

CANDIDATES FILE
ELECTION EXPENSES
Justice of Peace for Horeb Gets Nom
nation for 40 Cents-Fine Follows
Delay in Submitting Account.

From the statements of election ex
penses already filed at the county
clerk S office by the candidates in
the recent primary election, it appears
that the present incumbents have learn
ed more economy than those in private
life. 1t cost Max Gehlhar $3.50 to
gain the nomination of three parties
for county clerk, and William Esch
gave up $2 for a chance to be the
next sheriff, while Mrs. Mildred r.
Brooks, who received the nomination
for county recorder at the primaries,
was obliged to spend $6l.60, and D. G..
Drager, for county treasurer, expended
$3.50.
Gehlhar bought IS nominating petit
tions at 81 per dozen, and Sheriff
Eseh, in order to have plenty, bought
two dozen at the same price, George
A. Spencer, who aspires to be justice of
the peace in the Horeb district, was OBJ
liged to spend but 40 cents, as he had
but four nominating petitions costing
% cents and he mailed three of them
for cents each and the other one,
which had not so many names on it,
went in for three cents, or a total of
Is cents.
Mrs. Brooks and Mr.. Drager have
neither held office before and were
obliged to spend more money in adver-
tising and electioneering trips. But
three more days remain in which to
file the expense accounts of candidates,
and after Saturday a penalty or $25
per day is added for each days delay.
Several petitions have been submitted
which were not itemized and accom-
panied by receipts and it was neces-
sary to send them back for an itemzed
list of expenditures. 1t is expected
that most of the petitions will be filed
before May 30, as the $25 day may
be needed later in the more stringent
campaign which is to follow.

CRYSTALIzED SPINDLE
OF AUTO SNAPS OFF

Mere good fortune was responsible
for the saving of two lives yesterday
afternoon when spindle on the axel
of an automobile driven by Ray Cooper,
and also carrying Herbert Savage, be-
came crystalzed, and broke sharp off,
letting the machine drop to the ground,
and resulting in its tipping partly over.
Messrs. Cooper and Savage were on
their way to Independence and were
travelling about thirty miles an hour
when the accident occurred. They had
driven to a point about a mile west of
the Brunk place in Polk county and
suddenly the right rear wheel of the
machine dropped off. The auto slid
and skidded about thirty feet before it
tipped over on its side. The two young
men remained in the machine and were
badly iolted when the final crash came
but were not seriously injured.
Savage sustained several painful
bruises about the arms and body while
Cooper escaped without scratch.
The travellers phoned to the Wilson
garage here and were brought home
last evening. Mr. Cooper s auto was
badly broken but the owner is thank
full that it was not his neck that re-
ceived the breaking.

ATTORNEY GENERAL IS
INSTRUCTED TO SUE
Railroad Company Runs Only Three
Trains Per Week, Which Subjects 1t
To Penalty Prescribed.

In 1912 the Railroad Commission
made an order requiring the railroad
running trains from Vale to Brogan,
which is operated by the Oregon Short
Line, to maintain a daily service each
way over said lieu.
Recently the management sent com
munication to the commission in effect
that on and after May II but three
trains a week would be run over this
road. The company was at once in
formed that this would be violation
of the commission s order, and that
the commission supposed the trains
were being maintained daily, as the
management was told that in order to
secure the change it would be neces-
saray to file formal request.
This morning kilograms from points
on the line were received by the com
mission to the effect that since May
II but three trains a week were be-
ing run. In consequence the commits
sion turned the matter over to the at
torney general this morning with in
struetions to bring suit to recover the
penalty prescribed in such cases, which
is from 800 to $4,000 for each of

OREGON PIONEER IS DEAD
CROSSED PLAINS WITH PARENTS.
Levi Herren, Expert Agriculturist, Sur
fers Stro,e of Apoplexy That Proves
Fatal-Was at Routine Work.

Another Oregon pianeer went to hss
rs rest yesterday when Levi Herren
died from a stroke of apoplcxy at ms
ranch near Turner. The sudden and
unexpected death of the old Salem man
occurred while he was in the act of per
forming his usual routine work about
his farm and it came as shock and
surprise to his many friends in this
city.
The deceased was born in 1885 in
Indiana and when bgt 10 yers of age
crossed the plains to Oregon with his
parents. Arriving here tne Herren
family settled on Salem prairie and
later Levi Herren located on a dona-
tion land claim near Turner. For
many years Mr.. Herren was engaged
in active farming. He became one OF
the most expert agriculturalists in tbs
state and had great success with his
farm. He then moved to Salem, where
has made his home for many years
but still conducting his farm near
Turner.
Mr.. Herren leaves, besides widow,
one son, P. L. Herrcn, of Turner, and
two daughters, Mrs. r. N. Morris, of
Salem, and Mrs. G. II. Bailey, of Port
land.
The funeral will be held tomorrow at
12 clock from the farm home and the
remains will be laid TO rest in the Her
rem cemetery.

WANT PARSON In ASYLUM
AL1EN1sTs SAY HE is SANE.
Nystrom Murders His Bishop, Is Found
, Guilty and Sentenced to Die-First
Case In Swedish History.

Stockholm, May 26.-Despite the fact
that the statet s alienists all pro-
nounced him perfectly sane, there
seemed here today to be considerable
strength developing behind the move
ment for the Rev. C.. o. Nystrom s
transfer to an asylum from the prison
to which he was committed under a
life sentence for numbering Bishop
Aes.rand several months.
Nystrom was vicar of the village of
Runsten. A series of complaints had
been filed against him by his parish
toner's and the bishop was sent to in
vestigate. After doing so he called on
Nystrom and tod him frankly that he
believed the complaints were Justified
Without word Nystrom shot him dead
Case Creates Sensation.
As Nystrom was the first clergyman
in Swedish history ever tried for muir
der his ease created an immense sensa-
tion. He was convicted and heard the
death sentence pronounced against him
with perfect composure, saying he felt
no regret for what he had done. From
death his sentence was committed to
life Imprisonment in accordance with
an almost invariable custom in Sweden
in recent years.
The present movement to assume that
he is insane seems to be based on the
horror felt in certain quarters to admit
that a man of his profession could be
guilty of murder if in his right mind.
| II probably will not succeed at present,
but many believed it would be persisted
in until the government yielded to the
pressure.
