Pkidletok, Or., Aug. 9. The mys-
tery regarding the number of persons
burned In the fire Wednesday night has
been cleared by Night Clerk Wilson, of
' the Tranefrfr house, discovering that he
made a mistake in registering one guest
He wrote J. D. Tailor, instead of J. D
Tilton. Tilton is here, and Taylor is
thus nroven an imaginary man. This
leaves four men to be accounted for, all
four bodies having been recovered.
. At the express office was found today
a telescope valise, sent from the Cascade
Locks to Pendleton by George ti. Clack
ings. It was examined, and inside were
found euvelopes addressed to him at the
Cascade Locks, and a silk badge of the
ivW of Knights of Pythias at the
Locks. A telegram was received here by
the Elk's lodge, inquiring if Clackings,
the secretary of the Caecade Locks Elks,
was burned' in the fire. No doubt re.
mains now that Clackings was from the
Locks and a member of these orders.
, : A man named Graham was also found,
who said be came to Pendleton with
Clackings, who had money to invest in
some business, if he found' a suitable
'opening.
3 be coroner's verdict was such eb to
warrant the officers to arrest Fred Alli
son, who allowed Frank Breding to burn
in the back room of the saloon without
making an effort to save him. Uia ex
amination occurs this afternoon on the
charge of criminal negligence. ,
.- The story about tho baby burning has
been proven untrue. There is also no
truth in the report that a man was seen
during the fire lying in the hotel in a pool
of blood. - The reports were started on
account of Bettinger being seen on the
sidewalk after leaping from a window
close to the flames. Whether the fire
.was incendiary is yet unknown.

Dr. Berner.'a veterinary surgeon, was
sent for. Upon his airival the lion was
bound in his cage and the doctor began
to spray the inflamed gums to deaden
the sense of feeling. Up to this time
Major had kept op a growling, but the
moment he realized that hia sore tooth
was to be cared for, he became a model
patient. He lay motionless while the
doctor cnt aronnd the tooth and got his
' forceps in position. When all was ready
the doctor braced himself and pulled.
Majtr roared like tnunder but the doc
tor pulled the tooth.

of the supreme 1 court of the - United
States, said r '
"Of the four gentlemen spoken of
Postmaster-General Wilson, Senator
Lindsay, of Kentucky ; Don M. Dickin
son and Secretary Carlisle it is very
difficult for me to select the one who
will receive' the appointment. If Car
lisle accepts he will have to give up his
presidential aspirations, and of the other
three, Lindsay is far the more efficient
jurist, although all of them are capable
men, and would . be a credit to the
United States and themselves. Don M.
Dickinson, is. a personal friend of the
president, and so is Wilson.- Therefore;
under present circumstances, it would
be a difficult matter to name the man
Any , one would be good, , but I would
not be surprised to see either Dickinson
or Linsday 'receive the appointment,
although 1 would not care to venture
that as anything other tban a mere per
eonal opinion." ; j

offers greater resistance to the action of
salt water than any other metal.

men a fixed price for the secret. A shop
has been . fitted up for the' men at the
