It is alleged that the act of the .Legis lature approved February 17, 1303, pro viding for said election. Is unconstitu tional and void. The act provides for a special election to be held in November of this year, and that In case La Grande shall receive 55 per cent of the vote cast then, on and after January 1, 19(6, the county seat shall be at La Grande; and that within CO days after said election.

It Is alleged that the -county Is In debt about $200,000, all contracted since the constitution took effect, and that more than $5000 of this indebtedness was vol untarily created not In suppressing In surrection or repelling invasion, and that the Cpunty Court Is. therefore. Incapable of contracting a debt of $45,030, or any other sum, for the purchase of grounds or buildings, and that the Legislature had no authority to pass said act. which violates section 10, of article 11, of the Oregon constitution, -which provides that "no county shall create any debts or liabilities which shall singly or In the aggregate exceed the sum of $5000, ex cept to suppress Insurrection or repel Invasion." It Is further contended that should the field and efforts are being made to catch him by telephone to ascertain if there Is real danger. The shooting was cold-blooded. Brown and a number of other Garfield citizens were walking on Main street, Turnbow being with others behind Brown. All others etopped at the hotel and drug store except Brown, Turnbow and Henry Larkin, who were walking In the order -&ame Brown stopped on the steps In front of the Bank" of Garfleld, and said to Turnbow: "What are you following me for?" Turnbow replied he was not following him, whereupon Brown called Turnbow a vllo name and fired, striking Turnbow In the left arm, the ball passing into the "body, ranslng upward Into the neck. Turnbow fell and Brown coolly replaced the gun in' his pocket and walked Into bis office, where he was arrested. Brown would not yield up his gun to Constable Bupey until away from Gar fleld, as he feared a mob. Threats of lynching -wero made by conservative men, and had Turnbow been instantly killed Brown would have been hung. Turnbow Is olive this evening, but It Is said he can not live through the night. Brown has a wife, but no children. Turnbow has a wlfo and 10-year-old daughter. Brown bears a hard reputation and was recently fined heavily for beating a man 65 years old and much smaller than he into Insensibility with a club because the man had talked about him, Turnbow was unarmed and Is a peaceable man and highly respected. Turnbow did not lose consciousness and dictated a statement of the shooting, which was written and he signed It. Turnbow was taken to Spokane, where an operation will be performed tonight. His body is paralyzed from the waist down. act, as was held In a similar case taken tc- the Supreme Court a few years ago. LThe case will be urged as much as pos sible, that It may be decmea in time not to Interfere with the special election in November. DYNAMITE SCSI'ECTS ARRESTED. Thought to Be Connected With.
