enough to make up his team and hopes
to have the team selected and in reg

ERECT MEMORIAL FOR OF
FICER KILLED THERE.

PENDLETON, Oregon-Funds are
being subscribed here for erection of
a monument to Sheriff Til Taylor
who was killed July 23 by prisoners
breaking Jail. The monument, it is
planned, will be a bronze statue of
Taylor, as thousands knew him, sit
ting astride his horse and wearing
his leather "chaps," sombrero and
flowing scarf
Taylor resembled the type of west
ern sheriff often found in story books
and on the picture screen AS presi-
dent of the Roundup Association,
thousands saw him in his picturesque
garb as he directed the annual Pen
dleton wild west show.
During his eighteen years as sher-
iff, Taylor and his deputies made
2,465 arrests and never did the sheriff
shoot man. Once he fired at a bank
robber, but did not hit his man as he
exhausted his ammunition.
Pendleton's court house, where
Taylor served and where he lost his
life, has been proposed as the site of
the memorial.

Gently caused Manuel Azavetta, sheep
herder on the Adrew Robinson ranch
in Sierra County to turn in his resig-

He did not return to the cabin but

M'SWEfNEY STILL
REFUSES ALL FOOD
LORD MAYOR OF CORK STEAD
FAST IN REFUSAL TO EAT
is GROWING WEAKER.

London-(B A. P.)-Terrance Mac
Sweeney is reported appreciably
weaker this morning, but is conscious
and able to speak
Offer of Freedom Alleged.
London-A dispatch to the London
Times from Viege, Switzerland, quotes
David Lloyd George, British prime
minister, as saying that if guarantees
are given that the murder of police
men in Ireland will cease, the premier
is convinced that Lord Mayor Mac
Sweeney and the other hunger strikers
will be released from prison Other
special dispatches tend to confirm the
interview printed in the Times.
According to the Times, the pre-
mied said not a single appeal for
.clemency offered the Slightest assur-
. ance that such killings would be
stopped. He added that the uncondi-
tional release of the imprisoned men
would be disastrous to the morale of
the Irish police and make government
in Ireland impossible.
Little Drama at Death Bed
Each day as the fast of Lord Mayor
lMacSweeney : in Brixton prison prog
sresses there is staged by the bedside
~of the dying man tragic little act,
which was disclosed to the Associated
Press today by Father Dominic, May
or MacSweeney's private chaplain.
Every morning food in some form
or another is brought in by the prison
authorities and offered to the starv-
ing prisoner in the hope that his al
most uncomfortable craving will mas
ter him and that he will be tempted
to eat. Every morning there is the
same end to the act-MacSweeney, |
who is too weak to utter spoken re-
fusal, crushes his desire and turns his |
head away. So it has gone on until |
the twenty fifth day of his hunger |
strike has been reached.
There have been many rumors that |
was being given susten-
ance in drinking water or otherwise.
This is denied by relatives and friends
and the Associated Press was further
informed that the prison authorities
have not given the lord mayor any
food in this manner. Father Domin-
ic also denied that the prisoner was
being fed, and added:
Although some people say that the
desire for food disappears after few
days abstinance, it is not so in Mayor
case. He is still hun
cry, but refuses to take anything"

v. c. BLEAMASTER
SERIOUSLY INJURED
FORMER PHYSICAL DIRECTOR
OF UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
IN THE HOSPITAL.

Lying in a Standpoint hospital fo1
several days before his identity was
known, w. c. Bleamaster, former
physical director and coach of the
Diversity of Idaho, has been hover
ing between life and death at Sand
point. He was injured in an auto
mobile wreck last Thursday night.
Much mystery seems to enshroud the
case 1t is rumored that it was not
until Monday that it was learned who
the injured man is and word sent to
Moscow. A telephone call from
Standpoint tried to locate Mrs. Blea-
master but she had heard of the con-
dition of her husband from some
other source and had started to
Standpoint when the call came.
This paper telegraphed to the Pend
O'Reille Review asking for details of
the affair. The following telegram
was received in answer:

He was injured Thursday night in an
auto in which he was riding with a
party on the Kootenai road, when the
car left the highway and was smash

No one in Moscow seems to know
7hat Bleamaster was doing on the
Lootenai road at that time or who

which to show and keep the pigs en-

to start pig culture in the Inland

among 100 10, II and IL year old
recognized boys and girls pig clubs.
And now the invasion has begun.
The boys have brought their sows to
the fair with the two best pigs in
the litter and from exclamations by
Armour representatives heard at the
pig club headquarters there is every
indication that the experiment proved
successful and far and away beyond
Grab More Space
Three barns are filled and two over
flow barns have been requisitioned
for the pig club pigs.
The exhibitors, all small boys, have
oeen given the choice of purchasing
he sows from Armour or returning
he sows with the second best pig in
zach litter.
"The pig industry has started" de-
Jared a representative of Armour's,
and we need have no more worry
bout raising pigs in the Inland En-
lire. The pigs come from 100 differ

which shows that the growing of pigs

Senator liar rison leaves tonight for Washington, and will endeavor to secure a conference Of the democratic minority on this question during the coming week.
 'I believe in the doctrine that to the victors belong the spells, and am per fectly willing that all democrats now holding federal office be replaced with republicans says Senator Harrison At the same time, men now in office who were commissioned for specific terms should be allowed to finish their terms, and not be harassed with letters convey ing the polite but positive intimation that their resignations will be accepted. l hope a fight on the question can be avoided. but the democratic minority can prevent any combinations by the new President, if it sees fit, and am for the adoption of that policy if it is the determination of the republicans to oust all democrats as quickly as possible, without regard to their terms of office.'
