/
years old and that he has lived in
Umatilla county during the past l6
years except while he was in the SER
vice. He is former member of
Troop d and has 81 months service
about five months of which was at the
front. His mother lives in Montana
and his father is dead.
Runyon and Shields were at his
cabin during the evening, he said,
Runyon was there on visit overnight,
and Shields had come to borrow a
horse. Brunn is associated with c. M.
Wright in pasturing horses, accord
ing to his statement.
DO YOU think Ragains had been
drinking when the shooting occur
red?" he was asked,
81 have no statement to make about
that" he replied.
Gambling Party, Authorities Believe
Officials are preceding on the theory
that the tragedy was the result of an
evening devoted to gambling, though
they were not able to find any cards
or any trace of a deck having been
burned. The story of the three sur
vivors to the effect that Ragains return
ed to the. house at midnight after an
absence of approximately three hours
is discredited by the authorities. They
| express the opinion that he never left
the house after his arrival earlier IN
the evening.
A fact which they think may lend
strength to this assumption is that
| Ragains had u considerable sum OF
money on him at the time of his death
which might indicate that he had won
in gambling game. His pockets con-
tanned $50. Brunn had about $3.50
when he was searched at the Jail.
Another feature which the authori-
ties declare does not fit in with the
statement of the three men it that the
course of the bullet as disclosed by an
examination of Ragains' wound by the
coroner, is slightly downward. 1t
would have been impossible for the
wound to have been inflicted by man
who fired from sitting position If Ra-
gains was standing at the time the shot
was fired, the authorities declare. If
Brunn was seated when he fired, the
authorities believe that it would have
been impossible for the bullet to have
take the course it took unless Ragains
was also seated. otherwise the heavy
bullet would in all probability have
ranged upward, it is thought.
Ragains Had Family
Ragan was married, and besides the
widow, he is survived by two daugh-
ters. His mother, who is more than so
years old is still living. Levi and
! James Eldridge, half-brothers, and
three sisters are also living.
Mrs. Ragains is seriously i'll, doctor
having been in attendance on her Sat
urday, and her condition was suffi-
, ciently serious to cause friends to de-
1 lay informing her of the death of her
/ husband until she is better.
! Ragains has lived in the county prae
I tically all of his life. He has followed
several different lines of work and was
/ not very successful in business way.
| acauaintances declare, At one time he
! is said to have been employed by
Brunn. and the story told the officers
by the witnesses of the trasedy is that

CAMPAIGNS AGAINST DISEASE

HONOLULU, Aug. 22.-U. ~ 81
The first offensive in the campaign
against social diseases in Hawaii was
launched on August with the OPEN
ing of the newly established venereal
clinic in Honolulu, according to an an
nouncement from the offices of the
Territorial Board of Health. At its
last session the Territorial Legisla-
ture appropriated the sum of $4,000
toward the maintenance of such 4
clinic, which is now being operated
under the direction of the Board of
Health, the United States Public
Health Service cooperating. An es-
pecial effort will be made to check
the spread of venereal diseases am
ong children, the prevalence of which
has alarmed health authorities of
late.

this number, the large majority were
states where considerable manufac-

SATISFIED WITH THE sARoNG
Women Of ceyIon Refuse 20 Worry
Over the DEGREES Put Forth by
/ Dame Fashion.

The women Of Ceylon do not bow
the knee to Dame Fashion, but are
content with the sarong-one long
strip Of cotton wound round the
body-which is all most OF the women
OF Handy wear. The sarong was all
that the majority OF women asked in
the days when Handy formed the back
ground for the pageantry OF an orr
entail court. Handy was the last
stronghold OF the Singalese rulers.
Portuguese and Dutch tried In vain
to subdue the city and the little noun
tain kingdom; but the way to Randy
was through narrow passes, surround
ed by 1ungles. Many lives were lost
in vain assaults Fer 20 years after
the British took Ceylon the last king
Of Handy successfully resisted inva-
sion. Finally, In 1876, he was cap
tured and sent into exile. The tenn
pies and palaces and royal tombs OF
Handy speak Of the old days OF splen-
did shew. But they are silent con
corning the intrigue and treachery and
cruelty and extortion that blackened
the last years OF SingAlese rule In
Ceylon. Those dark years are forgot
ten now. Life runs smoothly under
wise government.

WELCOME TO HEAD HUNTERS
Ceremony Follows Return Of victors
With Their Grewsome Trophies
Women in Welcoming Party.

Prof. Carl Lumholtz, in his book,
Through Central Borneo," gives an
intimate description of head hunting
among the tribes there. He gives a
description of a raid by ten Bukats
upon small party Of Saputans who
were on hunt. The slayers hurried
or with three heads.
The last night out the head hunters
always sleep near their own kapong
and early next morning. while it is
still dark, they come singing. The peo-
pie of the kampong awake, array them
selves In their best fnery and &c to
meet them, the women wearing their
newest skirts and bringing pieces Of
cloth to present to the conQuerors. A
head Is carried suspended from the
cOnQueror's neck until IL Is taken from
him by woman, who gives him a
piece of cloth to wear instead, pos
sibly as a badge Of hereism. 1t makes
no difference whether this service is
performed by his wife, by another
woman or by another mans wife.
Heads are then hung from a beam In
the house Of the kapala, and the cloths
are returned to the women. The head
hunters must take their food apart
from their associates, and In the pres
ence OF the heads they have taken.
At meals a pinch Of rice is put into
a hole made with a spear point In the
top OF the skull, and the head is adj
dressed In certain words: Sat this
rice. Don't be angry. Take care Of
me. Make this body OF mine well"
During the period Of restrictions i'm
posed upon the hunters the heads re-
main in the same place. sharing the
meals In this manner. After twelve
days no more food is offered the
heads.
