Dobyns Treats 'em Rough.

Harold Dobyns, government trapper,
who returned Saturday from Ukiah
where he has been for the past 10 days
recuperating from the effects of poison
oak, with which he has been bothered
during this summer, left today for Mea-
cham. During the fiscal year ending
June 80, Dobyns killed 210 predatory
animals, he reports. This number does
not include porcupines, badgers and 9TH
er animals of this sort. Of the preda-
tory animals six were bears, nine were
bob cats and 1876 coyotes, 20 of which
were puppies, and the remainder adult
coyotes. Dobyns made the second high
est record in the state during the year,
one Malheur county man securing more
catches. Dobyns worked a shorter time
than his rival for honors, however, and
this accounts for some of the difference
in the size of their catches.-East Ore

Local Boys See Accident
When Echo Man Is Hurt

While driving into The Dalles on last
Thursday afternoon, Baird Patterson
and Alvin Boyd of this city were wit
nesses TO the accident that happened
to H. D. McCarty of Echo. The boys
state that MeCarty, whom they did not
know, had apparently lost control Of
his car when he was near Seufert's, and
it went over the bank. They came upon
him at the side of the road but had no
sooner driven past than he came up be-
hind and they drove to one side TO let
him pass, and they noted he was making
about rs miles per hour, the car going
from one side of the road to the other
like the steering wheel might be broke,
finally going into the ditch in plain view
Of the boys who were right behind. They
rushed to his assistance and found him
sitting in the seat and pinned down by
the top of the car. They attempted to
move him to their car to take him to
The Dalles, but were prevented from
doing so by the railroad bridge watch.
man who had arrived on the scene by
this time, so the boys hurried on to The
Dalles and had an ambulance come after
the injured man.
From The Dalles Optimist we take the
following account Of the accident:
H. D. McCarty Of Echo was driving to
The Dalles yesterday afternoon, when
his car left the road near Seufert's can
merry, turning over and McCarty will
probably not recover, according to the
physician in charge. The watchman at
the railroad bridge saw the accident and
telephoned to The Dalles for an ambu-
lance.
According to the watchman, McCarty
was apparently driving about 35 miles
per hour, when the car, Ford roadster,
struck the soft gravel, causing the
wheels to turn out of the road. The car
went over four foot embankment, ran
about 20 feet and then turned over.
A cash from the right eye to the back
of the head with the scalp torn loose
and fracture of the base of the skull
were the worst injuries. The car was
badly wrecked.
The ambulance was rushed to the
scene of the accident and the injured
man brought to the local hospital. The
serious injuries to the head make re-
covery doubtful, DR.. Reuter- said last
night
McCarty is Sc years of age and was
travelling alone.

50 MORROW EXHIBITS
To Be At WHEAT SHOW
High Quality Milling Wheat to Compete
In Northwest Grain Hay Show at
PendletOn This Fall.
(Pendleton E. o.

Grain growers of Morrow county will
be here strong with exhibits for the
Northwest Hay and Grain show, accord
ing to a statement from C. C. Calkins,
county agent, in letter to Fred Ben
nion. Calkins has made a request for
100 extra premium lists to be sent out
to leading growers in his county. Nor
row county farmers will send so bags
of wheat which will weigh 100 pounds
each, Caikns says.
Samples of wheat grown near Lexing-
ton and lone this year have been dis
played here, and quite a lot of this
wheat has been purchased by local mill
ers for milling purposes. 1t is said to
be of unusually high gluten content this
season. The varieties in which Morrow
county excells are Turkey Red, Hybrid,
Hard Federation, Forty-Fold and Early
Baart
Farmers from Morrow county last
year got in on some of the high money
at the show. Burton H. Peck of Hepp-
ner won first for certified Turkey Red,
and his exhibit placed ninth in the Tur-
key Red class. This was considered to
be good showing in the stiff competi-
ton furnished by the Montana growers
with their toppy Turkey Red grain. C.
F. Carlson of lone placed eighth In the
common white class with an exhibit Of
Forty-Fold, In the Forty-Fold class,
this exhibit took first prize.
The best bale of hay in the show came
rom Morrow county. Charles Wick
'ander Of Boardman was the grower of
the hay. 1t was then sent to the Inter-
national Grain and Hay show at Chicago
where it was the only bale of CONNER
cial hay, and it won seventh place there.
One carload of the baled hay used to
build the show last year came from
Boardman. B. C. Mitchell, A. L. Dilla-
bough, H. H. Westman and R. Wasmer,
all of Boardman, also placed for hay
prizes last year.
The show management pays freight
on all grain entries of 100 pounds. This
exhibit is then cleaned and recleaned
and one bushel is used for show pur-
poses. The surplus above the bushe is
sold and pays for the freight and the
cleaning expenses.

Man Caught in Combine
Cylinder Dies at Condor

A dispatch to the 0regonian from
Condor under date of August /, gives
the following report TO the violent death
of w. H. Colwell, a Portland ranch oper-
ator:
W. H. Colwell of 1856 North Tenth
street, Portland, Or, 66 years old, died
at the local hospital early this morning,

kalo, about 20 miles from Condor. Mr..
Colwell had interests with Mr. Lewis
and was assisting him with harvest, hav-
ing charge of the separator, and in going
about his work slipped and fell in the
rapidly moving cylinder. One leg was
ground to pulp, and from where he
lay he directed his release, having the
men hitch the horses to the rear of the
combine and reverse the machine and
in that way free him, He showed a re-
markable grit and courage in directing
his release. He was brought to Condor
and placed in a hospital, where one leg
was amputated in an effort to save his
life.
Mr. Colwell was well known in east
ern Oregon, having settled in Lone Rock
about 1876, and was a pioneer stock
man of that place, Later he lived in Ar
lington and of recent years in Portland.
Besides his widow he leaves sister,
Mrs. Salzer Of Tacoma; a brother, James
Colwell of Seattle, and three daughters,
Mrs, Christensen of Troutdale, Mrs.

Deputy Game Warden Here.

E. Albee, whose home for the most
part is at Pendleton, but who may be liv-
ing almost anywhere over his district,
for he is a deputy game warden, has
been sent to this county to remain for
a time and look out for those who may
be inclined to violate the game laws of
the state. 1t is understood that Mr.. AL
bee will be in this part of his district
for the remainder of the summer max
ing frequent visits to the mountains,
and there is no telling when he may
bob up and demand that you show that
hunting or fishing license. 1t is we'll
to go prepared if you expect to hunt or
iish, and you might keep posted as to
times and seasons as we'll. In fact, you
should be well tagged, for there is the
forest service man to look out for too,
and he says you must have a permit to
camp within the domains of the forest
reserve and build fires.

Former Pendleton Girl
Now French Countess

An imposing legal document drawn
up recently in a Broadway law Office in
New York is the modern glass slipper
which makes an American girl-who
once lived in Portland, Pendleton and
Seattle and who was wife No. in a Sc
attic bigamy case in 1914 twentieth
century Cinderella.
The slipper-or, rather the document
which was certified and approved in the
surrogate's court-transforms Claudia
Windsor Tartoue, daughter of Mrs. R.
Bengue Barnett of Portland, and wife
Of Pierre Tartoue, famous portrait pain
ter into the Countess de Rampan and
Countess de Chanquetol. Nine. Tartoue
is officially adopted as a daughter of
the Countess Clarel de Toequevlle de
Rampan de Chanquetol after friend
ihip of years.
Claudia Windsor Tartoue went to Sc
attic in 1912 from Portland and Pendle-
ton, as the wife of George John Busch,
who represented himself as the heir to
the millions of Adolphus Busch, ST.
Louis brewer. Mrs. Busch'e beauty at
tracted attention and she was voted per-
sonally charming. After time they
eft Seattle for the East.
A year passed and Busch returned to
Seattle alone, explaining that he had
been divorced. He represented that he
rad extensive business interests in Brit
sh Columbia. In June, 1918, he eloped
with Dorothy NJ. Meyer, 20, daughter of
Mrs. j. H. Meyer of Seattle, one who
was known in music circles. Mrs. Meyer
was distressed over the secret wedding
at Victoria, B. c., and at her request a
second ceremony was performed in Sc
attic, June 26, 1918, at the German Luth-
eran church and the couple departed on
a five-months' honeymoon that was to
end in San Diego.
Two months after hteir departure Mrs.
Claudia Windsor Busch appeared in Sc
atttle again, making inquiry for her hus-
band, and the investigation subsequently
resulted in Mrs. Meyer filing a charge of
bigamy against her son-in-law. Report
came that the couple were on their way
to Argentine.
Early in 1920, Claudia Windsor mar
ried Pierre Tortoue. French portrait ar
tist who was in America painting por-
rats of distinguished men and women,
and in January, 1921, filed suit for di-
vorce. 1t is not mentioned in the New
York report of the filing of the docu-
m"nt that is to make her countess
whether her petition for divorce from
Tartoue was ever prosecuted.-Eas Or

while visiting at the Reaney home he
is helping with the hay harvest. He
came to Heppner yesterday with Mr.,
Reaney, who was in quest of laborers

O. A. C. FARM POINTERS

Silage is an insurance against a long
winter and short hay crop, as well as an
economical feed for sheep and cattle.
The full value of the silo was felt in the
late hard winter with hay out of sight.
The Union experiment station has found
that a combination of hay and silage
produces twice the daily gains at half
the cost Of hay alone.
