It Is not be lieved the brain was Injured. Physi cians believe the man will recover. The shooting took place about 8:15 o'clock, soon after the dredge had returned from a trip across the bar to see If the conditions were such that ehe could work. Captain Dunbar had Just fin ished eatlag breakfast and. remarking to the other officers that he was not feeling well, went to his cabin. Almost Immediately three or four shots were heard In rapid succession, and. on rushing to the cabin, the offi cers found the Captain lying on the floor, the blood streaming from his head and a 38-caliber revolver with four chambers empty clutched in his fingers. Mas Walks From Laonch. Everything possible was done to stop the flow of biood. The steamer was run up to this city and the injured man was taken to the hospital. Csptaln Dunbar did not lose consciousness, and when taken from the steamer's launch vm able to walk across the dock with the assistance of two of his officers. An examination made by the physi cians showed that at least two. and possibly three, bullets took effect, but, as all of them came out and apparent ly none of them touched the brain, the chances for recovery are excellent, un less some unforeseen complication arises later. The muzzle of the gun was evi dently pressed against the upper por tion of the right cheek bone, as one bullet entered Just above this bone about an Inch back of the eye and came out near the center of the forehead. Temporary Insanity Indicated. Another bullet entered Just below the upper end of the cheek bone and came out through the right eye, which was totally destroyed. There Is also a hole through the nose, directly between the eyes, but whether this was made by the bullet which penetrated the eye or by a third one is not known. Temporary Insanity resulting from poor health and continual worry Is be lieved to have been responsible for the act. Since the death of his wife, a few years ago. Captain Dunbar .has been despondent at times and this, coupled with the worry attending his duties as master of the dredge, gradually under, mined hi nervous system. That he was suffering from severe nervous strain has been noticed by his associates recently, and he has talked of taking his own life several times. About ten days ago he remarked to one of the officers of the steamer that he intended to kill himself, and at that time a revolver was taken from him. j GRANT EXHIBITS ARE FINE attendance Is 5000Raccs Are Close and Pnll of Excitement.

Toung. the Adna blacksmith who had his pre liminary Irearinn today on a charge of murdering Mrs. O. E. Santhuff and then starting the hotel fire at Adna to conceal his crime, that the man Is temporarily insane. The letters found by Sheriff Urquhart that Toung had written to matrimonial agencies and various women formed a foundation for the belief, and the man's peculiar action since the fire and his subse quent arrest only strengthen the sus picion that he is deranged. Many persons are of the opinion that Toung is not guilty of the crime with which he is charged. The strongest evidence against him seems to be his misstatement of facts immediately after the lire, but he has said repeatedly that owing to bis good-reputation in Adna. the compromising position In which he would have been placed had he acknowledged being at the hotel with Mrs. Santhuff would have ruined him. He says that the woman followed him from the burning building and, naturally supposing that she bad escaped, he had no reason for acknowl edging his presence there at the time. Prosecuting Attorney Buxton is con fident of convicting Toung and the outcome of his efforts is being awaited with Interest by both bis friends and those who believe him guilty.

At a meeting of the stockholders of the Linn County Fair Association held here Sat urday to consider the advisability of holding a fair next year. It was decided to do so. There is an Indebtedness of $650, which It will be necessary to pay before the association can - start next year's fair. About $300 worth of new stock was subscribed today and an as sessment of $2.50 made against each owner of stock, who took no new shares. Much Interest will now be taken in the question of officers to be elected at the annual meeting in January, as there Is some doubt whether Dr. Prill, who has served as president tince the or ganization of the fair five years ago, can be Induced to v serve any longer. The only one so far mentioned as a possible successor to Dr. Prill, in case he refuses another term. Is R. Shelton. here Is a possibility that at the January meeting there may be a change ordered In the fair programme bv which much or all of the horse racing will be replaced by other features which will be equally as at tractive and less expensive. The decision to continue the fair here nips in the bud a movement to take the fair to Albany.

Upwards of $350,000 worth of real estate in 15 days. ...;,r ; To our Knowledge it is the greatest record ever attained in this city or any other city. The buying has been terrific. We never dreamed that the whole thing would be cleaned out by yester day. In fact we felt that if the first unit was sold by this coming' Saturday it would be going' some. 'v. It has caught us unprepared. We're not ready yet with the second unit. Captain Greenleaf, the engineer in charge of the worK, has doubled his forces He and his men are doing' their utmost to rush the next unit through. He thinKs everything will be ready late this af ternoon If he Keeps his word we'll have something extra special to say in our announcement tomorrow; some thing' that will be of vital importance to every man and woman with an ambition to succeed, to get ahead, to maKe money.
