sent views Of the members Of the sen.
ate and house committees on alcoholic
traffic. was begun Monday.
Two meetings OF the joint commit
tee were held. They demonstrated
that the measure as introduced by
Representatiy Anderson OF Wasco
needs many changes, In the opinion
OF the legislators and others who met
with them. Indications are II will
be scarcely recognizable when they

Opposes Penitentiary Sentence.
Speaker Ben Selling at the first
meeting of the joint committee serv-
ed notice on the committee that he
would not give his support to the meas
ure II 1t provided for a penitentiary
sentence under any circumstances.
Another feature OF the meetings
was the disclaimer by r. p Hutton,
superintendent Of the Anti Saloon
league, and other "drys" that the
measure as drafted met with the ap-
proval OF all the dry forces.
Speaker Selling met with the com.
mittee for a few minutes.
The people OF oregon decided that
the state should be dry" he told the
committee. Il want 10 help all can
to make the state dry, but 1 cannot
conscientiously vote for this bill as
il is now drawn. I cannot vote for
any prohibitory bill that imposes a
penitentiary sentence. A man who
gets a two years sentence in the pen
itentiary might as well be sentenced
for life. Nine chances out OF ten he
will never beable to regain his place
la society"
Not Even for Habitual Criminal.
Representative Porter pointed out
that the bill imposed a penitentiary
sentence only for a third conviction.
indicating that the offender Is an
habitual criminal. but Speaker Sell
ing would not agree that such PEN
atty should be imposed.
Il have scores OF checks in my safe
which are no good" said the speaker,
and ! won't turn them over to the
district attorney because 1 don't want
10 send the men 10 the penitentiary'
No agreement was reached on the
question OF whether the provision in
oeustion should remain or be strick-
en- out
Representative Stewart strongly IA
vored the provision giving the attor-
ney general authority TO appoint as
sistants to prosecute liquor cases.
I'VE have district attorneys who
are both incompetent and corrupt
and can put my finger on them

MAN IS KILLED BY A train
BODY OF UNIDENTIFIED VICTIM
FOUND NEAR TRACKS AT
LINCOLN

An unidentified man met death about
a half mile south of Lincoln early
Tuesday morning, either by being hit
by an approaching train while walk
ing on the tracks, or by falling off the
train while stealing a ride.
The body was found on the grass
near the tracks about a half mile
south of Lincoln at about 1880 Tues
day morning by the section crew work
ing out Of Lincoln. They reported
finding the body to the station agent,
who notified Coroner Chance of this
city. He, together with Sheriff Felix
and A. Simonet, undertaken, went to
the scene of the accident in the morn
ing, returning with the body late Tues
day afternoon. The coroner pronounced
the death accidental.
At first the theory was that he had
been murdered but an examination OF
his clothes disclosed watch and $3.50
in change which tended to disprove
this theory. One arm was nearly cut off
above the elbow and large hole had
been torn in his side, which indicated
that he had been killed by train. The
man was dressed as laborer and was
probably bound for the North Dakota
harvest fields.
The funeral was held from the ST.
monet morgue Wednesday afternoon
and interment was in Oakland ceme-
terry. .-.xz

tim lined up for the locals and they
journey there tomorrow morning on
No. l3 for game. Although last year
the locals defeated the Wadena eleven

jured in the St. Cloud game last Sat-
urday.

CLERK OF COURT FEARS JINx
HAS ISSUED % MARRIAGE IL
CENSEs THIS MONTH
WANTS 5 MORE

The month of October is usually not
ed for the number of marriages, at
least in Morrison county, and October
this year is no exception, but it has
not yet broken the record set by June
OF this year, when twenty-seven mar
riage licenses were issued Dy Clerk of
Court A. M. Stoll.
Really October this year is jinx
as far as marriage licenses are concern
ed, at least up to date, for up to the
time of going to press there had been
issued just twenty-three licenses from
the local office. And there are only
two days LETT in this month when mar
riage licenses can be secured.
The clerk of court evidently fears
that the record will not be broken be-
fore the month is over. He has un-
doubtedly had this in mind for some
time for he was actually caught scour-
ing the court house corridor for vic
Tins the other day. And he has the
other officials in the building so hyp-
Noticed that they forget their own du-
ties and when man enters the build
ing they accost him with the question
looking for marriage icense9'
During the past week Clerk Stoll
issued eight licenses to the following
persons: Frank Przybilla and Eliza
beth Kelzenberg; Anthony Kerich of
Minneapolis and Bertha Boyes; Eugene
Afford and Sarah Brousseau; John
Weist Of Aberdeen, s. D., and Malvina
St. Antoine; Frank Leshinski and
Frances Palashewski; Gilbert Isaac
son and Alice B. Funk; John Borman
and Clara Isaacson, and Axel Schultz
and Ethel Erickson.

BIG GAME SEASON IS NEAR
OPENS ON NOVEMBER 1O-COUN-
TY AUDITOR HAS RECEIV-
ED LICENSES :.

With the end Of the small game sea-
son drawing near the sportsmen are
turning their attention from the shot
gun to the rife and are training their
eyes for the more skillful marksman-
ship required to bring down the deer
or moose. The big game season opens
on November 10.
County Auditor McNairy has receiv-
ed 500 big game licenses and he ex-
poets to dispose Of all Of these and
probably more. The licenses will be
available on November 7, the law pro-
viding that they cannot be issued until
three days before the season opens.
The law allows each hunter one deer
and one moose.
At present the weather conditions
are very unfavorable for big game
hunting but the hunters hope that by
the time the season opens nice snow
will have fallen.
