D. M. HUNT, La Grande
Baker City Ha Slugging Mau-h of a
Real Serloua Nature.
Slugged, robbed and left to die on
one of the principal streets of Baker,
was the fate of Charles Steele, a lum
ber grader of Spokane, who has been
fit work grading lumber In. the differ
ent "rollla of thli city for the past two
week. Steele Pushed a check for
something like 157 in one of the sa
loon night before Inst and then went
to see Murray & Mack'a show, says the
r .... , - -. . i . i . ,
ntn returning; irum m inwr "
the Crablll hotel, where he boards, he
heard a hrlll whittle just as he wait
passing the Central high school build
ing. He halted for a moment and
someone jumped from behind and
lugged him.
That was all Mr. Steele knew until
yesterday at 11 o'clock, when ho be
came conscious and found himself ly
Ing by the woodpile with several sticks
of cordwood across him and a heavy
covering of leaves and trash over his
body. ;
Evidently the robbers thought 'they
had killed him and decided to hide
the body from sight. Steele arose
from hla grave of leaves, collected his
thoughts and recalled the Incident
plainly. He remembered of having
left the theater and walking . down
Center street. And he remembered
having heard a shrill whistle just as
some one emerged from behind and
struck him across the net.And that
-is all he dlil remember Feeling In
his pocket-where he had placed the
$57 In cash that he received for hi?
check, he found it was gone and said
to himself that he vhad been sliipRed,
robbed, and 'left to die on Center
street In, Baker City, Oregon, a town
of 10,00i people. And the crime tooli
place right under an 'arc lamp, on one
of the mpst important business thor
oughfares of the city.
Mr. Steele felt of himself and found
that he was not Injured to the amount
of anything. Going to a barber shop
he got shaved, cleaned up and ' hK
face massaged. When he emerged
from the thop there was nothing to
Indicate that he had been the victim
of footpads except ttie loss of his
money, and he could stand that very
well. So he decided to say nothing
about the affair. i .
Charles Steele is in the employ of
the lumbermen's association', and ban
the Important position of lumber
grader. Hla business" brings him to

gonlun. Last night, the city council
refused licences to four of the 15 ap
plicants for permits to conduct soft
drink joints In the city granting to 11
others the rights desired.
There may have been some diicua-
members of the council, but the talk.
Ing was all done before the meeting
Isst evening, and when the council did
take the matter In hand It was simply
to dispose of the question according
tt form. ,

problem finally deciding upon the ac
tion taken' later. . '
