This was done, she declared, through a nurse that De- Saulles had engaged to care for the boy and who, she testified, told him to act bad'' when he returned to her custody from the fathers home.
 A letter bearing De Saulles' sigma ture and purporting to show that the boy was in the custody of his mother by terms of an agreement between the parents when the shooting occurred was introduced by. Attorney Uterhart. Mrs. De Saulles story of tke tragedy followed.

GEORGE EBER[E
 |S VOLUNTEER

George Eberle, lieutenant of No. 2 Company of the Phoenix Fire depart ment. has not waited to be called under the selective draft. The popular young officer of Chief Wright's force, leaves this evening for Los Angeles where he will undergo final examination for en- listment in the coast defense artillery. From there he will be sent to San Francisco to be outfitted and prepared to deport with a force leaving on a transport on December 5. for the Ha- Waiian Islands.
 Ever since the United States declared that state of war exists with Ger many and issued a call for men, Lieu tenant Eberle has had it in his mind to offer himself in the service of his country. He studied the situation from every angle and learned that the gov ernment could be best aided by every man offering himself for service in the branch for which some particular training best fits him. So Eberle de- cided that as he is a musician of un- usual talents along lines not over crowded, he would present himself foI service in the musical branch of the army. He made his plans known to the local recruiting station and was promptly advised that he could be def initely placed at once in the coast de- fense artillery which was sending fore es to the Hawaiian Islands.
 For years before joining the fire de. | partment on July 3, 1916, EberIe wal kettle and trap drummer at local thea ters and his ability gained for hin unusual recognition. And then h. | yearned for more activity and becam fireman. Until about six weeks az, he was attached to NO. l company a relief driver. And then he was ad vanced to the lieutenancy of No | company when 8 vacancy Occurre' there through the enlistment of tn young man then holding that office.
 The enlistment of George Eberie doe not remove the name of Eberle iron the fire department payroll, for | brother, Frank Eberle, is also a membe of No. Company. But according | a statement of Frank last evening tn navy is likely soon to have a new mem Der and then there will be anothe vacancy in the fire department whic

advanced was evident from the exam ination of the jurors and it was fur ther evident from the states attor- ney's remarks that he does not expect a verdict of first degree murder. While he declared that Raynor was the az gressor and brought on the conflict which arose over water rights. he said he would expect a verdict of some degree of homicide
 Raynor is charged with the murder of his neighbor, Calvin Heath, whom he is alleged to have shot on April 27 after the latter flooded his ranch at Avondale. Heath. who was a bachelor, was in the neighborhood of 50 years. Raynor, who is about the same age, has large family, and a number of his relatives whose places adjoin his in Avondale were in rne court room yesterday. His son and son. in la W were eye witnesses to the tragedy and will testify for both the state and the defense
 Three of the veniremen failed to qualify. J. C. Sutter was challenged by the defendants counsel when he stated that he had religious scruples against the taking of human life under any circumstances. Edgar Le Baron was released from jury duty on the same ground and Carl Weiser, who has fixed opinion, was also excused The twelve men who were finally 'se- lected are O. P. Cooper, Charles Spain George F. Millett, A. Starkweather Fred N. Smith, C. G. Clugston, Alvin Mann, Herman Hoff, Charles Crisman E. D. Solomon Ellsworth Bailey and c. II. Sweat.
 Asking that a blackboard be brought into court, Mr. Laney in his opening statement illustrated his remarks witt scenes of the neighboring ranches 1T Avondale. He sketched the dyke which he said Heath built to divert tht water from the Agua Eric to his owI ! lands. He told how the water haC l filled the land and broken through tn, levee flooding Raynor's land. Raynor | noting that the water was flooding hi! 1 corral, called to his son and son-in Jaw 1 to cut the dyke. Upon discovering that the water was in the pump house Raynor had returned to his home fo | his shotgun. He arrived at Heath S armed. just as his relatives appeared with shovels.
 T am going to cut the dyke" tn county attorney said that Rayno called to Heath.
 "Therell be trouble if you do," tn | latter is alleged to have replied. | Heath eXpOstulated with RaynoT | endeavoring to dissuade him iron cutting the dyke, following him as h, advanced on his property. Whel | Heath was in close proximity witt Raynor and his relatives, Rayno raised his shotgun and commandet that Heath stop.
 Now. look here" Heath is claimed to have said, and before he could fin ish his remark he had been shot dying almost instantly.
 In the vicinity of where his victin fell, Raynor cut the dyke, concludes the county attorney, as he told tn jury that it was Raynor and he alon who brought on the conflict.
 This is the first case in the superio court that the county attorney ha been called upon to prosecute wit his former law partner as the opposin counsel. This will be one of the man reasons why the case will hold
 singular interest, another being tn many law points which will be con sidered.

l00-TON PLANT
FOR MICHIGAN
RECENT REPORT ISSUED BY MO-
HICAN COPPER COMPANY IS
ENCOURAGING-SHAFT TO BE
DEEPENED.

The Post is in receipt of the re-
cent report issued to the stockhold-
ers of the Mohican Copper company
by Managing Director Rol King, and
according to present indications at
the property an immense tonnage of
sulphide and concentrating ores will
soon be blocked out ready for ship
ment and treatment.
One of the interesting features of
the report is the announcement that
1O0-ton plant will be installed at
an early date. A sufficient tonnage,
it is believed, has already been devel-
oped to warrant the construction of
this plant
The Bullion shaft has been sunk
to depth of 500 feet, a station hav-
ing been recently cut at this level.
This shaft Is to be sunk to the ancient
water level, where it is believed cop
per sulphide ore bodies will be en-
cOuntered.
Present development work consists
of prosecuting on the 30O-foot level
to open an orebody encountered on
the 90foot level. Crosscutting on
the first level has opened up "a feet
more ore.
According to the report the finan-
cial condition of the company is
good, the company continuing it's
usual policy of buying for cash and
discounting all bills.
The Mohican company owns over
600 acres Of ground, ell paid for.
The equipment is complete and equal
to any frst-class installation. Mo-
hican stock is listed on the New
York and Boston curbs.

YOUNGSTERS IN TROUBLE,

Paul Turk and Cecil Detrick, boys

been left standing in the open at the
Spence home, and had gone for a
"joy ride" bringing the car back in

Monday forenoon the pair was ar
raigned before the local justice, ad-
mitted their guilt and were placed
in the custody of their parents,
pending further action by the su-
perior court after a report of the
proceedings has been made to Judge

sters will be put on probation by the

The many friends of F. D. Hasten
of LaGrande, Ore, who spent several
months in Parker last winter, will

of his 16-year-old' son, Claude Hais-

had enlisted in the u. S. Marine
Corps month previous, where he
was to have presented himself for
appointment to the Naval War Col
lege at Annapolis. The boys sud
den death was caused by an attack
of cerebro spinal meningitis. He
was given military burial at La
Grande on May 25. The friends of
Mr.. Hasten in Parker extend their
warmest sympathy to the bereaved
parents in their great loss.
In letter to The Post Mr.. Hasten
states that he is getting his business
affairs in shape so he can leave with
his wife and young daughters for

turning to Oregon Mr.. Hasten s

MIKE HORNS WALLET AND
PARKER MAN PULLS GUN-RE-
COVERS STOLEN MONEY.

Mike Horn left Parker about
three weeks ago for Los Angeles
where he was called on mining bust.
ness. Last Monday night a pick.
pocket, taking him for any 'easy
mark" extracted his wallet contain
ing 500, and attempted to get away
with it. This poor, deluded thief
didn't know Mike as his friends on
the desert know him, and as a result
of his ignorance he is now languish-
ing in Jail.
The Examiner prints the story in
detail as follows:
Even if Michael J. Horn is 72
years old he's pretty spry" yet, he
says, and proved it late last night
when he pursued and arrested Chas
Redder, aged % years, and recovered
his wallet containing 500 that he
declared Redder and another youth
picked from his pocket. Horn had a
pistol about foot long which he
used in persuading Redder to stand
still until Officer Welch arrived on
the scene.
Horn, who was formerly deputy
sheriff and United States marshal,
came here few days ago from Par
ker, Ariz., to close mining deal. He
had a room at 1877 South Main street.
Last night as he was going to his
room two young men jostled him at
the head of the stairs. A minute
later Horn missed his wallet.
HE started right down the stairs
on the heels of the young men, pull
ing his gun as he went. On the
street the youths separated, but Horn
followed the one he believed had
taken his purse. When the youth
saw the gun, he threw the wallet in
to the gutter, saying:
There's your money, old man
let's call it even; anyhow, you will
get locked up for carrying a gun if
the police find it out"
No, you DON'T declared Horn,
his gun not wavering an inch. You
just stand still and I'll take my
chances
"He called Police and soon Pa
trolman Welch appeared.
while on the way to the police
station Welch saw the prisoner drop
a vial in the patrol wagon. He re-
covered it. At the receiving hospital
doctors declared the contents to be
concentrated chloral, otherwise
known as knockout drops"
"Redder had no registration card,
but said he had lost it in San Fran
cisco. He said his home was in
Arizona. He would tell nothing
about his companion. He was lock-
ed up and Horn will appear against
him today, he said, pocketing his
money"
