LIGHT VOTE CAST
IN MORROW COUNTY

The primary election passed of
very quietly in Morrow county, the
vote was light and there was no very
exciting contest for any of the Offices.
Early in the day it seemed to be un-
derstood that the fight for nomina-
tion for governor was settling down
between Olcott and Hall, but the re-
turns developed the fact that Patter-
son had pretty strong following
here.
Over he state the fight on COVER
nor went the same way, and it has
not been officially settled just who

colt is leading Hall by about 400
votes and Patterson is poor third.
Olcotts nomination seems assured,
though Hall and his supporters have
not yet conceded the victory to the
governor.

for Hulden, but the fight centered in
Umatilla county between Dodd and
Smith and Hulden received but 225
votes over there and Conder landed
II. Smith was nominated by ma
jority vote over all. In fact, the yell
low ticket in Umatilla county was
a winner all the way through. In
this county the voting shows that
there was not much heed paid to the
yellow ticket.
The total vote in this county was
as follows:
Republican
Committeeman: Fithian, 1871; Will
Jams, 312.

last, Prof. Howard James closed two
years with the pupils of this district

LOCAL NEWS HAPPENINGS

Jake Young arrived in Heppner on
yesterday forenoon from his home at
Aloah, Oregon, in response to a tel
egram announcing the accident to his
son, Ray, who was seriously injured
in powder explosion near Lexing-
ton Tuesday evening. Robert Young
also came in shortly after the arrival
of his father These gentlemen were
fortunate in making close connec-
ton by train and auto which ac-
counted for their early arrival here
after the accident.
VIM. Gould, who resides in Juni-
per canyon, met with very painful
accident on Monday while attempt
ing to tie horse in the stall. The
animal pulled back, catching finger
in the halter rope in such a manner
that the same was torn off and had
to be entirely amputated. He was
attended by DR.. Chick who states
that he is doing we'll at the present
time.
August Loygren ran over a bank
with his car near his ranch out south
from lone on Saturday evening and
escaped with couple of broken ribs.
He was brought to Heppner late Sat-
urday evening by DR.. Chick who at
tended to his injuries says he is now
doing well. He was very fortunate
in escaping worse injury.
Earl E. Gordon has been spend
irr several days in the city this week
coming up from Portland on Sunday.
We understand that he is interested
in opening up drug store on his
own account, and will likely start a
business of this kind in Lexington.
Miss Gladys Turner, 7th grade
teacher in Heppner school for the
past year, departed Tuesday morn
ing for her home at Mccoy, Oregon.
Miss Turner will return to Heppner

MONEY FOR STREET I'M
PROVEMENT VOTED DOWN

AT Lexington on last Monday there
was a special election held for the
purpose of authorizing the city coun-
Gil to borrow $4,000 to make some
needed street improvements. The
proposition came up to borrow the
money on a straight note on five
years time, and this did not exactly
suit the majority of the taxpayers
of the city and it was voted down.
We understand, however, that the
citizens there are not averse to the
Improvements, and the question will
come up again on bond issue and
it will doubtless carry. The people
there are anxious to have the work
done while they can secure crushed
rock from the highway contractors
at reasonable figure, and another
vote will be taken just as soon as the
necessary preliminaries can be ar
ranged.

RAY YOUNG SERIOUSLY
BURNED IN EXPLOSION

Ray Yong, who was working for
the contractors, Moore and Anderson
on the Willow creek highway, was
very seriously burned on Tuesday
afternoon by an explosion Of can
of black powder. He was requested
by one of the other men working
near the rock crusher below Lexing-
ton, to open and hand him a can of
powder, and taking pocket knife
he plunged the blade into the top of
can and the result was the ignition
of the powder which blew up and
Young received bad burns on face,
arms, hands and legs just above the
knees. His clothes were fred by the
burning powder and for just mo-
ment he was stunned by the force of
the explosion. On gaining conscious
ness he had the presence of mind to
remove his burning clothing or 9TH
erwise he would have been burned
alive, as there was no one to come
to his immediate aid, the explosion
taking place some distance away
from where the other men were at
work, they did not at once realize
what had happened. Physicians were
Immediately called from Heppner
and Drs. Chick and McMurdo re-
sponded. Finding the young man in
a very critical condition, he was
brought to Heppner on the local train
and taken to the Heppner Surgical
hospital where he is receiving ev-
cry attention possible that will aid
in his recovery.
His case is quite critical as the
burns are spread over a considerable
portion of the body, but his physician
states that he is doing as we'll as
could be expected at present, and
feels that he will recover promptly
barring complications. That he did
not suffer immediate death from the
explosion is considered a miracle, as
there was powder enough in the can
to blow up whole regiment had it
been confined.

COUNTY CARETAKER DIES

John Garside, aged 72 years, died
suddenly at his abode in one of the
buildings on the fir grounds where
the county has its road machinery
stored, on Tuesday, but Just at what
hour is not known as the body was
not discovered until early in the af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Garside had charge of the ma
chinery buildings as caretaker for
the county. He arose at about his
usual hour Tuesday morning and was
seen about the premises. A little
later he retired again, evidently suf-
fering from some pain, as he had
taken a hot iron to bed with him
which was found lying by his side.
He had not been very well for sew
eral days but his condition was not
thought serious.
Deceased leaves no near relatives
that are known. He was a cousin
of the late Mrs. Jas. Simons and the
members of that family are all the
relatives he has. He has resided in
Heppner for many years and was a
familiar character about town; being
somewhat of a recluse he was not
thought to have any particular means
but sum of money was found in
his trunk and it is said that he had
considerable sum of money, am
ounting to several thousand dollars
on deposit in one of the banks in
Heppner
Johnny Garside was a native Of
Weston, Plat county, Missouri, and
was aged about u years, as near as
his relatives here can figure. He
was man Of good habits, quiet and
inoffensive and given to attend to his
own business in manner that COM
mended him to all that knew him.
He was a general handy man and
was called upon to perform many
commonplace duties about town and
was always faithful and reliable. His
funeral will be held from the FEEDER
ated church at 2 p. m. today, Rev. E,
L. Moore officiating.

MOONSH|NE OUTFIT
TAKEN By SHERIFF

Sheriff McDuffee arrived in town
this morning having in custody Rob-
ert Myrick of Umatilla, Oregon, his
Buick truck and an elaborate moon
shine outfit, all of which was captur-
ed last evening at Castle Rock just
as Myrick was about ready to take
leave for other parts.
The authorities here had been CIV
en- a tip that there was an outfit be-
ing operated out on Blalock island
in the river just opposite Castle Rock
and they were also given pretty
thorough inventory of the outfit All
of this, practically, was loaded on
the Myrick car, and it is presumed
that the officers have all Of the para
phernalia with the exception of two
boilers.
One copper boiler of about 80 gal
Ions acpaciY, eight copper coils,
which went to make up a complete
cooling system, a kit of plumbers
tools, camp outfit with large tent,
cooking utensils, carpenters tools,
pressure tank for lights, etc., togeth-
er with supply Of chemicals for
rectifying purposes are among the
articles captured.
Myrick now occupies cell at the
county jail, awaiting investigation,
he being the only one Of the parties
interested that Sheriff McDuffee
could get hold Of. He doubtless had
other assistants, but they succeeded
in getting away. The coming of the
sheriff had doubtless been tipped off
to them and had McDuffee been just
a few minutes later getting on the
ground, Myrick would have been off !;
he was getting water from the river
to fill up his radiator when the sher-
if came upon the scene.
Myrick's home is at Umatilla. He
is known at Heppner as he used to
run a woodsaw here.
