HARDMAN MEN HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
+. X. Wyland and Vim. Giesic Re.
ceive Severe Bruises And Giesie
Fell Over 500 Foot Cliff
When Horses Became
Frightened.

Wm. Giesie of Hardman plunged
down the sharp sides of 500 foot
cliff and still lives. The two horses
and wagon which E. X. Wyland was
driving also went over this cliff and
the horses still live. Wyland was
thrown out of the seat and down be-
tween the horses and onto the ground
before the wagon went over the cliff.
Both men were knocked unconcious
The accident occurred on the Wy
land ranch on Rock creek about six
miles west of Hardman last Friday
morning about 1920 o'clock. The
two men were making fence and had
gone out to point near the edge of
the high cliff after some wire. They
drove quite near to the edge of the
high cliff according to Mr.. Wyland
and about that time something hap
pened to the wagon, which both men
are unable to explain. Mr.. Wyland
was thrown from the seat and down
between the horses, who by this time
had become more or less frightened, ,
although they are both gentle horses
This fall rendered Wyland uncon-
cious and he did not know what hap
pened after that.
However, the mix up of wagon.
horses and man at the bottom of the
cliff told the story. Mr.. Giesie was
picked up after some little searching
and was unconscious, remaining in
this condition for "a hours.
DR.. H. T. Allison was hastily sum-
moned from Heppner and he says
when he found what condition Mr..
Giesie was in he thought there was
but little chance of saving his life.
The doctor stitched for two hours on
the decorations on the injured mans
scalp. According to DR.. Allison, the
wounds In Mr. Giesies scalp were as
II someone had taken pen knife and
made little cuts all over his head,
thus indicating that the man had
come In continual contact with the
sharp rocks while going over the cliff.
Mr.. Giese is improving everyday
and from present indications will re-
cover nicely. Mr.. Wyland, beyond
being badly bruised, received no other
81 hoJ
broken, nor did the horses, but both
men and beasts are very much bruis-
ed from head to foot Mr. Giesie
formerly lived at Hermiston and is a
son-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs. j. II. Wy

stable became ignited from the burn
ing barn and sheds of Henry Schwar.
and 1t was there that some of tht
hardest fighting occurred. At one
time 1t looked very much like the liv
cry stable was doomed and dynamite
was set, with the expectation of lay
ing the structure fiat, if the fire could
be halted in no other way.
The entire damage is estimated al
$4,000 and was partially covered by
insurance. Claud Coats and Shelley
Baldwin both lost their homes. A
few articles of furniture were saved
from the Goats home, along with a
few clothes, but everything in the
Baldwin home was lost. Mr.. Bald
win had some insurance.
Dick Johns, partner and half own
er Of the Universal Garage was over
come by smoke while attempting tC
get some things out of the Baldwin
home, where he roomed, and was
badly burned about the face. He was
taken to the hospital, where he is
now recovering.
Probably the biggest individual loss
in Mondays fire was that of Frank
Roberts. Mr.. Roberts had just made
deal for the skating rink for
$2500 and the deed was to have been
turned over Tuesday. The fire took
the building slick and clean. There
was no insurance. However Mr.
Roberts feels that he is still ahead,
as the fire took out number of old
frame buildings near his other prop
erty, which had always been a fire
menace.
Ljsses, as nearly as can be estima-
ted, follow: Opera House, $4,000;
Minor & Company warehouse, $250O;
City Hall, library and hose house, ST.
500; Mollie Reids rooming house and
restaurant, $500; Clyde Wells, gar
age and warehouse, $500; Frank
Roberts, skating rink, used as ware
house $2500; W. T. McRoberts,
$3.50; Henry Schwarz, barn and ice
house, $500; Mrs. Marlatt, residence
$1,000 Claude Coats, residence, ST.
500; Luther Huston, residence, ST.
500; Shelley Baldwin, $4,000.
Other losers we're the j. B. Sparks
family and Mr.. and Mrs. Parkinson,
who had rooms in the Opera House
building. They lost all their clothes
and household effects. B. G. Sigs-
bee lost his entire equipment of
phot graphic supplies. including cam
eras, valuable lenses and negatives of
all the work he had oone for the past
ten years. Mr.. Sigsbee had no in
surance. When the city hall was
was burned, no records were lost, as
the books were in the safe and were
recovered after the fire, but the Hepp-
ner public library lost all its books,
with the exception of the books which
happened to be taken out at the time
of the fire. D. c. Gurdane lost some
furniture and household effects which
he had stored in a building just
back of the city hall. Besides losing
his ice house and barn, Henry Sch
war; lost sheep and large number
of hides. Frank Gillian, R. F. Hynd
and the Garrigues estate were the
owners of the Opera House.

NAVY OFFICIAL FAVORS
COURT-MARTIAL AND DEATH
TO SPIES, NOT LENIENCY

Washington, March 6.-Many Ger
man spies have been caught in this
country and interned as dangerous
aliens instead of being court-mar-
tailed and shot. This Is the opinion
of u high official of the navy depart
ment He believes the Department OF
Justice has been too lenient with the
agents who have been rounded up.
The Department of Justice, on the
other hand, believes that in many
cases it has not secured evidence
enough to warrant the trial of these
agents ON the life and death charge
Of espionage. 1t believes that it has
been wiser policy to confine the
suspected men in internment camps
rather than to risk trial and acquit-
tai.
Army and navy officers, while cog
rIZant of this view, assert that the
department is still too lenient with
the agents. Many of them, It Is
charged, have been let out on parole.
No official here is willing to admit
that the United States has actually
caught any German spies.
HAS one single out-and-out spy
been caught since we entered the
war;" a navy official was asked.
Well" he replied, after a minutes
thought. IL think that the men whom
the Department of Justice has round
ed up ought to be further investi-
gated"
Many thousands of enemy aliens
have been rounded up by the secret
service, 1t is known. 1t is not charged
that all Of these persons are spies,
but it is asserted by military and
naval authorities that there are
among them many who, IL caught in

court-martial and a firing squad.

ENFORCED LOYALTY ON
A BUSINESS BASIS
(Ry Associated Press.l

ST. Louis, March 2.-Enforced 10y
atty has been placed on business
basis in Macoupin, Madison and
Montgomery counties in Southern IL
linois, where the activities Of pro-
German propagandists recently be-
came so pronounced that vigilance
committees in numerous towns have
forced hundreds Of suspected persons
to make public manifestations Of their
allegiance to the government. In one
town two alleged leaders Of seditious
movements were tarred and feath-
cred.
Branches of the American Defense
Society operating through vigilance
committees in practically every town
in tile district have taken the lead in
stamping out disloyalty. The first
move to oust the propagandists was
made in Staunton where an alleged
leader of the I. w. w. and a Chicago
attorney were escorted to the city
limits, coated with tar and feathers
anG started walking in different di-
rections. The reason for this aggres-
sion was said to be the activity of
the men in causing dissension among
several thousand coal miners near
Staunton.
On the same night more than one
hundred persons were made to sign
pledges of loyalty.
News of the use of such stern
measures spread and within a week
Worden, Mount Olive, Gillispie, Will
hanson, Hillsboro and several other
smaller towns made demonstrations.
In some Of these towns scores of per-
sons were taken from their homes
and requested to make public profess
sion of their loyalty. Several men
were taken from their beds and,
kneeling on the sidewalk, were forced
to kiss every star in the flag. Some
were made to sing the national an.
them while others were compelled to
play patriotic airs on musical instru-
ments. Protests against such actions
we're construed as evidences of dis
loyalty. In several such instances ar
rests were made and federal charges
preferred against the men.
The most serious result of the dem
onstrations was in HiIlsboro, where
Clifford Donaldson, 21 years old, was
shot when the vigilance committee
called at his fathers home in search
OF ]. W. w members Shots were ex-
changed. Donaldson was killed and z.
B Emory, city marshall, and Ernest
Flath were wounded. Later it was
learned Donaldson had enlisted in
the navy only few days before his
death and that his father was un-
acquainted with any Of the suspected
persons.
Members Of the vigilance commit
tees deny that they counsel violence.
