OVER THE NORTHWEST

The testimony of Frank j. Hale,
only witness of the shooting, was that
RAIDER and McCue quarreled over
some land. Fearing there would be
trouble, Hale says he left the cabin,
but had gone only a short distance
when he heard a call for help.
Returning to the cabin he found
RAIDER and McCue struggling on the
floor. Hale separated them and was
dragging Raider from the house when
the latter drew a revolver and fired
five shots at McCue, all of which took
effect Hale then remained with Nc
Cue while RAIDER rode to the nearest
ranch to summon n physician. Nc
Cue was operated on but died the
next day.
RAIDER, who is the son of George
RAIDER, the largest landowner in Grant
county, has been in numerous shoot
ing scrapes and has been arrested
several times, but has heretofore es-
capped sentence.
When the sheriff arrived in Long
Greek to arrest him, his father tried
to induce the sheriff to let his son re-
main in his custody, saying he would
furnish bail in any amount. This the
officer refused to do and RAIDER was
lodged in the Canyon City Jail Satur-
lay evening.

Endorsement Is Withheld.

F. w. Ward of Portland, represent
ing the Northwest Patriotic Press As
sociation which is publishing the

boys in the service, appeared before
the executive committee of the Una
tilla War Drives Committee yester-
day afternoon with a request for en-
dorsement of his plan to solicit $1,000
in Umatilla county to help defray the
expenses of publication. The commit
tee withheld the endorsement on the
grounds that such a campaign is di-
rectIy contrary to the rules of the or
ganization. However, the committee
individually expressed a Willingness to
consider the matter further with
view to including a flat sum in some
future drive providing it was salts
fled that the enterprise is entitled to
financial support from this county
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-03-01

As a result of the serious shortage
of funds for the maintenance of the
Boys and Girls Aid Society, the
county court of Umatilla county may
double the appropriation now made
for the care of each dependent com
mitted to that institution from this
county. Mrs. Robert H. Tate, the
secretary, appealed last week for
permission to raise $1,000 in this
county by solicitation but the war
drives referred the matter to the
county court with the recommends
ton that the court make a sufficient
appropriation to meet this county's
full share of the necessary funds.
Mrs. Tate has been comforting with
members of the court the past few
days and will leave tcri"l' for Port
