SHOOTERS
ARE bum SPORTS

Report comes to this paper that a
bunch of near sports" stopped along
the road just above the Neville place
and killed bunch of Chinese pleas
ants. 1t would appear that the party
which numbered four or five persons,
we're travelling toward the mountains
In Ford, and they did the shooting
from the road. There is no open sea-
son on pheasants in this county and
these parties deliberately violated
the game laws in this act. Just how
many birds were killed has not been
learned by our informant, but in
their hurry to get away from another
car that was coming from behind,
they failed to pick up one rooster
that was about shot to pieces, though
not yet dead when discovered few
minutes after the shooting occurred.
There is one man along up that way
who has all kinds of warning signs up
on his premises, that freely expresses
the opinion that II he catches any of
these near sports" killing birds on
his domain there will be something
doing right quick, as he will not wait
to call the law to his assistance.
There are but few of these birds and
n is pity that they cannot be left
alone SO that they may propagate and
become plentiful.

DOUBLE RUNAWAY FRI.
DAY CAUSES EXCITEMENT

THE four horse team of Chas. B..
C6x. attached to a wheat wagon, be-
cs3ne frightened at the warehouse
'nhr the depot on Friday morning
arp made lively runaway, heading
uE the street toward town. Just af-
tsr crossing the bridge over Hinton
cEaek the team met up with Luther
Huston who was exercising his Per-
cheron stallion. This animal became
at once enthused with the excite
ment, whirled about and Joined in
the race. Mr.. Huston had the animal
hitched to light sulky, and exercised
all the strength he could muster to
hold him in. but to no avail, and it
kept him mighty busy lodging the
other rig, telephone and electric light
poles and holding on the the seat. Mr..
Huston Jared well until he had passed
the Willow creek bridge a short dis
tance, when he was unseated by
some obstruction in the road. He
landed on his head and received a
very painful, though not serious
bump. The horse proceeded on his
way and ran into the awning in front
of the postoffice, dislocating a post
or two, and finally piled up on the
walk in front of the Farmers &
Stockgrowers Bank. The animal
seemed to be determined to get back
to his quarters at the barn just a
to his quarters at the barn just as
rapidly as possible. The Cox team
piled up near the Fair Grounds and
came out of the fray none the worse
for wear. Mr.. Huston's injuries were
really slight: pulling on the lines
blistered his hands some, and he got
various bruises, from all of which he
is now we'll recovered. Mr.. Cox es-
capped uninjured, with the exception
of a pretty badly sprained back.

improvements in keeping with their
city neighbors.

Cuts Arm on Wood Saw.

Tom Driskell, who recently took
over the wood saw from Jake Wat
tenberger, met with a slight accident
on Friday evening that might have
cost him an arm. He was working
little late and could not see very
we'll and in drawing heavy piece of
wood back he showed his arm into the
saw, receiving flesh wound that
called for several stitches by the sur
geon to be closed up. Mr.. Driskell
thinks that had he been pushing the
stick toward the saw instead of draw
ing 1t back at the time, he would
have had his arm entirely severed
just in front of the elbow. The saw
scraped the bone through the feshy
part Of the arm and made a nasty
though not very serious wound.

ington commencement exercises at
the close Of last school year.
Probably few in the audience at
that time knew that Mr.. Naples
training and experience in appearing
before the public had been gained

with Sir Herbert Frees Company.
During his last two years upon the
stage he travelled this country with
the famous Richard Mansfield.
In his recital on Thursday, the

demonstrate what these years of
practical experience mean, in giving
ability to make the great master
pieces entertaining and enjoyable for
those who have not made a special
study Of them.
The story of "The Thirty Pieces of
Silver will be a new revelation to
the Lexington audience.
In the recital from Julius Caesar"
In addition to giving the complete
story of the play, Mr.. Naples will re-
cite the great scenes in which the
character Of Mark Anthony appears.
In addition to the above, the STU
dent body and orchestra will render
musical numbers. Tickets can be
secured from students of the schools,
under whose auspices the entertain
ment is being given.

ACCIDENT FROM FALL.
ING TREE PROVES FATAL
r. HOgeland, of Parkers Mill, Victim
of Accident.

Richard Hogeland, of Parkers Mill,
died at the hospital in Heppner as the
result of an accident which happened
to him at $3.50 Saturday morning. At
that time, with his son, R. C. Hoge-
land, he was at work in the timber
on his place cutting down a large tree
to be worked up into cordwood. They
were using a saw and when about
two-thirds of the way through the
tree it began to split and lean in the
opposite direction from which they
expected it to fall. The son gave the
warning and rushed out of danger

enough, however, and was caught as
the tree came down, being wedged
between the butt of the falling tree
and another log where he was COM
PEELED to remain until assistance
could be summoned from a distance
of about three-quarters of mile.
Parties at work with jack rushed to
Mr.. Hogeland's assistance and helped
to remove the tree, when it was found
that he had a badly crushed foot and
one arm broken in three different
places, besides internal injuries. He
was rushed to the hospital in Heppner
where he received surgical aid but
his injuries were Of such a nature
that there was no possibility of saw
ing his life and he died about $50
Saturday evening.
Mrs. Hogeland, the son and his
wife were witnesses to the accident,
the women being near at hand when
the tree fell. Mr.. Hogeland was en-
tirely conscious during all the time
until taking the anesthetic at the hos
pital, and he directed the workers in
getting the log off his body.
Funeral services were held in the
Christian church at Henpner on Tues
day afternoon, the pastor, T. B. Mac
Donald, officiating, and interment was

HEPPNER HEARS
BOND SPEECHES
l.. j.. Simpson and Il. j. Adams Ad-
dress Fair Sized Audience.

The citizenship of Heppner was ad-
dressed at the Opera House on last
evening by Messrs. l.. J. Simpson of
North Bend and E. ]. Adams of Eu-
gene in rousing patriotic meeting.
A chorus of singers, led by Mrs.
Noyes, furnished several patriotic
songs and Mrs. R. ]. Vaughan sang
America is Calling You" to the de-
light of all.
Mr.. Simpson delivered very stir
ring grafton, largely reviewing the
events leading up to a declaration of
war by this country against Germany,
and he was listened to with close at
tention. The climax of his address
was the appeal to the patriotism of
the people at home who must stand
behind the boys that are goong to the
front to do the fighting in the trench
es, and we must see that they lack
nothing that will help them to be bet
ter soldiers. Food. clothing, the best
gunSa and ammunition must be placed
In their hands, and all this requires
money. therefore it is up to us at
home to see that they have it, and
this is to be supplied to the govern
ment by the people loaning Uncle
Sam the necessary money.
Mr.. Adams made a srong and d.
rect appeal to the people, backing up
all that had been said by Mr.. Simp-
son and further impressing the great
duty and responsibility upon us of
doing our bit in this great drive that
is on to float the second Liberty Loan.
Mr.. Adams is very pleasing speaker
and his every word does not fail to
leave its impression.
c. E. Woodson presided in an eff
cient manner.
Mr.. Simpson also addressed the
students Of the High School this fore
noon upon food conservation and the
Liberty Loan.
In this connection we give the fol-
lowing list of patriotic citizens who
have SO far subscribed to the new
issue of Liberty Bonds: Andy Rood,
Jr.. $1,000; Sybil Hager, $1,000; H. 8.
Ewing, $500; j C. Kirk, w. A. Rich
ardson, w. e. Severance, Martina H.

Visit KliCkitat County,

Oscar and Claude Keithley Of
Eight Mile made visit to Klickatat
county, Washington, last week, going
over and back in the Keithley car.
Crop conditions were fairly good
around Goldendale and Centerville
but the Keithley boys are convinced
that lands over that way do not pay
any better returns than the average
farmer is getting in Morrow county
and they are being held much higher
in price. Oscar says he is well salts
fed to remain here and continue to
help in putting Morrow county on the
map. They had pleasant visit with
Fred Esteb and his family who now
reside at Centerville.
