Graf's wound is through the right
breast. Tlie bullet fired by Adams
entered between the second and third
ribs, pierced the lungs and lodged
just beneath the skin under the right
shoulder blade. Ordinarily such
wounds are not fatal, unless attended
by iuf la minatory conditions, but in
this case the frail physique of the
patient militates against his recovery,

Causes Wife
Liquor ami Drugs
to lenve Him,
The period of domestic bliss of thej
Adams was artei . .via ins loudness
for liquor and his addiction to the
use oi drugs made him a very unde
sirable huhand and Mrs. Adams left
him a few weeks alter they were
married and went t' Reston. On
two different occasions before the
ratal Fridav. Adams journeyed to
Reston to see her and each tiny
found his w i'e absent. On the second
occasion he was requested by Mrs.
Hardman. who knew not that he was
her son-in-iiiw. to discontinue his
visits. Fn uti that time on Adams
was bitter reward the family.
When Adams left this city on tlie
stage Fridav morning there was evil

where he left the,
stage. Directing his remark s. to
Hardman, Adams asked for "Mrs. i
Nelson" and was told she was not at ;
home. Then a hot dispute between!
the two men ensued, Adams pune-;
mating his remarks with frequent
drinks from the whiskey flask. II
accused Hardman of purposely secret-,
ing the woman and when this was'
denied Adams called Hardman a liar.
Resent ing this ephitet, Hardman
uZl
stepped toward Adams, ii
and Adams suddenly whipped out his
two revolvers and from one of them
fired twice at Hardman.
Though the distance was not over
ten feet, both bullets missed their
mark. Hardman hurled his ax at
Adams, then turned and ran into the
house. Graf, who had taken no part,
in the dispute up to this time, now
stepped Tor ward and remonstrated
with Adams and asked him to put
away his guns. Graf was holding his
ax at the time. The exact words that
passed between the two cannot he
learned until Graf's statement is ob
tained. From the revolver which
had not been used on Hardman.
Adams fired three times at Graf. Two
bullets went wild, hut the third
struck Oral in the breast and felled
him.
As
Hardman emerged from the
house with his rifle
he saw Graf ly-
ing prostrate afid Adams running
away with both revolvers clutched in
his hands. The fugitive's course lay
through a
in orchard ami toward a lull
leading down to a road. Hardman
I gave chase and shouted to Adams to
I stop. Adams kept on running and
just its reached the hrow ot the nil":
ilardinan, at a distance esiimated at
not less than 1:1. yards, raised his
rifle to his shoulder and fired twice.
Adams disappeared over the hill and
Hardman. not thinking that he had
struck the man. walked back to aid
in getting Graf into the house. Then
lie went to Johnson's and telephoned
to' the Sheriff in this city.
Wounded Man Regs Onlookers to Kud
His Life and .Misery.
When Adams was struck by the
rifle bullet the shock caused him to
drop his revolvers. Then he ciawb-d
about TO feet to a stump, where ho
drank his morphine and laid down.
About an hour afterwards he was
found by Charles Fork ham, a resident
of the neighborhood, who was search
ing for him. Ot hers soon gathered

bystanders several times to shoot
him and end his mlser. This re
quest was frequently repeated during
the tortuous journey to Roseburg,

afternoon and ended at midnight. A
bed of straw ami a mattress was Im
provised in a wagon and on this

Adams Shot Through Rrensl During

.A n exam in at ion at I he hospital
showed that Ihe nature of his wound
absolutely precluded any hope of sav

an aiiestheiic would have undoubted
ly brought on death prematurely, so
all efforts wore made to alleviate
Adams' pain with opiates until death
should mercifully ensue.

SAl.KM, Or.. June 14. A feature
of tin' long drawn out fight between
the railroad companies and the ship
pers oer wool rates was an order by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
reducing the classification of wool
shipped in carload lots from the sec
ond class to the fourth class, with a
minimum carload of 24.000 pounds.
This applies to both sacked and bated
wool. It now appears that this order
of Ihe commission was disregarded
by the O.-W. R. & X. Co. In Its new
freight tariffs, recently filed, which
give wool In carload lots a third class
rating instead of fourth class, thus
materially increasing the freight rate,
As soon as this raise in rates was
discovered bv the State Railroad
Com mission, (hat body commit n I
cated with Charles A. Prouty, chair
man of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, who gave assurance that
the commission would at once take
the matter up, Ho said, however,
that he thought it would he better
to let the new tariff as filed remain
In effect this season, and that the
ommissioii would protect the shi
pers by forcing the railroad to rebate
to the shippers tlie amount of excess
freight charges.
Then the commission took the mat'
i up with the officials of the Na
tional Woolgrowcrs' Association, and
the commission will hold a meeting
in Maker on Juno 2it, with Ihe exec
utive commission of the association,
md Victor O. Johnson, chief at tor
ney, and ex-Governor Gooding or Ida
ho. lor the purpose of deciding or
what course to pursue In keeping the
matter before the interstate Com
merce Commission.

There has been a shortage of help

Blither the fruit more promptly than
hai been the custom heretofore,
which will reiiulie several thousand

The cause assigned for the short
age of help this year Is I hut Ihe grow
ers have not provided conveniences
for the hired help. Few of tin? grow
ers have places for help to sleep and

It now seeuiH certain that the Hood
Itlver apple crop will be materially
reduced from tlie 1. 1100. 000 box esti
mate made earlier In the season. Thia
loss will be due to Imperfect setting
resulting from a weak polllulation.
It Is now estimated that the crop will
