ENRAGED FARMERS
Do NIGHT RIDING

, New York, Oct. 4.-While the pangs
East Side today, Mayor Mitchell as me-
diator, tried to stop the upstate milk
strike. He had proposal from the
dairymen IS league-the producers-to
deal with the big three distributors
without league recognition, but with
the demanded increases in prices under
a six months contract.
From statements OF distributors, how
ever, it seemed there must be rejection
or modification of this plan if the
strike is to end.
They have contended that they can
not deal with the league-that they
must do business as in the past with
the farmers themselves. The string tied
10 the farmers proposals, however, ap-
pear also to be a stumbling block.
Mean time the milk supply dwindled
rapidly, though some milk came in
from new and distant sources.
Over the east side where increased
prices or shortage are first felt it was
a common scene today to see little chill
dren with pals grasped tightly in
emanciated hands begging at delicates'
sen stores and milk depots for just
little milk so that baby Able or Rebec-
ca wouldn't suffer. The dealers had
nothing to give.
Farther up town in the quick lunches,
they tco, were short of milk.
That was the situation all over town.
The distributors still looked after hos
pitals and families with children but
the portion at each home was either
seriously diminished or entirely elimii-
mated.
"Night rider bands of enraged far.
mers are busy upstate attacking dair-
les and milk wagons and dumping out
milk of other producers who have re-
fused to join the league.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
DEATH OF SISTERS

Lancaster Ohio. Oct. 4.-While the
funeral cortege of the Smetters Sisters,
Agnes and Alice, wound slowly up the
hillside to the little family burying
plot today; an inquest into the death of
the two maiden ladies and Miss Mary
Stretton was in full progress, will Of
ficials remaining mysteriously mute as
to the theories of the cause of death.
Found dead in their rocking chairs
last Sunday night, no one has yet been
able to advance clue as to the cause
of death. Asphyxiation is generally
blamed but asphyxiation by what poison
fumes is unknown.
Coroner Bugh after a night inquest
admitted today that he was baffled.
Congestion of the lungs points to asphy-
xiation but no leaks in gas fixtures or
piping have yet been found as the
source of the poisonous gas.
Following a clue which may point TO
murder by poison, the stomachs of the
three women are being aDalyzed by
state chemists who refuse to divulge
what their analysis has shown thus far.
Suggestions that perhaps some triple
murder fiend is at work, are secuted.
Nevertheless there still remains the fact
that Harry, Paul and Robert Clelland
ady less than three days before the
death of the three women. Indications
of bichloride poisoning in the case of
boys have failed to answer to tests for
the poison.

Tony Silva On Trail Of
Man Who Stole His Wife

Albany, Or, Oct. 4.-sT will keep
on hunting"
This was all Tony Silva of Fresno,
Cal, had to say today when he learned
that his wife and the man with whom
he declares she eloped eight months
ago, had fled from Tallman, Oregon,
only short time before he arrived
from Golconda, Nevada.
Silva has hunted his wife, his child
and the stranger ever since his home
was broken up. The man with whom
his wife left Fresno, he asserted, has
taken the name of Silva and is trying
to rob him of his own identity.
He followed the pair from Fresno to
San Francisco, missing them there by
a narrow margin. He ranged through
Nevada hot on the trail Finally he
tried to draw his reel tightly about
them in Tallman, mailing his wife Is
photograph to friend there so as to
be sure he was ON the right track. But
they escaped again.
Tony left town today--in pursuit.

IN PLENTY
So LONG AS THEY LAST

Although good hunting is reported as
hunters in the districts west and south
of Salem report the shooting good and
that birds are quite plentiful. More
birds are found in the rolling country
where there is sufficient shelter for
them to hide. Accordingly, they are
scarce where there is not sufficient COW
er to keep them from being annihilated
by the clouds of hunters abroad.
Reports from the Polk county hills,
from the hills south of Salem, and the
country Immediately east indicate that
hunting in those portions is excellent
and that good shot would probably
bag the limit in few hours. At least
that is what quite number of hunters
from Salem did-got their limit before
8 clock
While the sport is said to have been
good the past few days it is believed
by numerous men acquainted with the
situation that next week the shooting
will be much improved. This on account
of the fact that so far in the season
the birds have been punched. BY next
Sunday it is expected they will be scat
tered over wider area and so provide
better hunting.
There is general opinion growing
among sportsmen that the hens should
not be shot, at least this season. 1t is
declared that if sportsmen would follow
this rule that the game birds in few
seasons would be far more numerous.
Hunters are also of the opinion that
the opening of the hen season last year
was not advisable, and while the law
allowed only one hen it is practically
certain that hunters bagged considerab-
ly more than that number.
There is noticeable increase in the
number of Portland hunters coming up
the valley this year for the pheasant
season. They are covering the hills
about Salem and going up the river as
far as Corvallis. Salem sportsmen feel
that this is somewhat of an infringe
ment on their territory, but raise no OBJ
lection because when the duck season
is on Salem gun-men travel down Port
land way to bag the delicious Mallards,
etc. So the game is about even.

JUSTICE STAFFORD
SAYS MUST ANSWER

Washington, Oct 4.-The interstate

trict supreme court today decided in

President Smith and Addison r.
Smith and George w. Jones, Officers
of the Louisville and Nashville, refused
to answer questions alleging il was be-
yond the scope of the commission to in
quire into private transactions.
Justice Stafford said that the Off
cials must answer "not because the
questions involve the political activi-
ty Of carriers, but because they involve
expenditure of funds and so affect the
question of the reasonableness of its
rates and also involved its methods OF
accounting under which by means of
a false system it would be possible 70

Saturday had to be postponed on &C.
count of rain. until Thursday afternoon
when the Barton boys, accompanied by
a large crowd of high-school pupils.
journeyed to Orleans, where they met
their Waterloo, being defeated by the
score of 27-3. AS a matter of fact,
Orleans made so many runs that we
lost count of them. In the first inning
Barton made one run and Orleans in
the same inning piled nine runs across
the plate, said runs being due to
errors, hits and four passes by Abbott.
The game was loosely played on both
sides because of the poor condition of
the field. which was simply a field of
mud and puddles. For Orleans, Mann
and LaCourse, the battery, excelled
while Cutler at second base, played a
good game for Barton. The battery
for Barton was w. Abbott. Comstock
and Emerson.
