That the cause of Louis Ragains'
anger at Jesse Brunn was more deep
" seated than remarks the latter made
about a gate being left open was the
animation given yesterday afternoon
in the coroner's inquest when George
NJ. Shields and Charles Runyan. eye
witnesses to the shooting, gave their
version of the tragedy.
Ragains, on his return the second
time to the Wright cabin was very
angry and very abusive, according to
the testimony of the two men. and he
spent fully 80 minutes cursing Brunn
before the shot from Brunn's rifle
was fired which ended in the death of
the older man. The inquest was con-
tinued until today when Jim Roach,

PLANNED AS PHONE HOME
Company Had vainIy Tried
to Purchase Corner Upon
Alta Owned by Odd Fellows.

The Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company has pur-
chased the Tull and Living
stone property on Garden street
extending through to Willow,
as a site for a telephone COM
pany building to be erected
here at some time in the future.
The property on Garden street
comprises the old Switzler
home, now occupied by Mrs. E.
McGinnis. 1t has a frontage of
100 feet on Garden and runs
west 200 feet to Willow, cover
ing the residence occupied by
r. E. Baum. Reports are to the
effect the company will erect a
class A building on the proper
ty, which may involve an in
vestment of 100000. How
ever building work will net be
started for a year, it is said.
Wanted Corner Location.
No official announcement of the
telephone companys plans has yet
been made. ]. A. Murray, local man.
aEer. says lie first heard of the tran-
So ction las; evening and was INSTRUCT
rh by phone not to file the deeds for
the property at this time as the COM
pany desired to avoid publicity for the
present.
However. reports of the sale have
been current for some time past AMI
authentic news of the company'3 o''r-
chase is available. The sale OF the
property is understood to have been
handled by the firm of Bentley, Iod-
ges & Schiller The company first
sought to buy the Odd Fellows pro-
perty at the corner of Alta and Gar
den and offered SIG 5000 for the vacant
corner. However, the Odd Fellows
would not sell and the adjoining lOca-
tion was purchased instead.
With the acquisition of the Garden
Willow street property the telephone
will be in position to erect
a very centrally located building for
its Pendleton plant. 1t is believed
the entire tract will not be used by
the building and that there will be
drive way around the structure. Such
an arrangement will permit of excel r
lent lighting facities The building
viii be devoted entirely to the COM
panys own business.
Means New Building.
Because the telephone company3
transaction involves an important new
building in the business district of
the city the deal is regarded as the
most important realty deal in several
months.
When the company will start build
ing operations is predetermined but II
is felt such a heavy property invest
ment would not have been made had
not the company planned to make use
of the site. The company's lease on
its present headquarters on West
Court street expires next summer,
