In the body. -
W. A. Maxwell is conducting the
coroner's examination but while there
has been no direct statement to that
effect, It Is rumored that there will be
no verdict until tomorrow, when the
family Is expected home again.
Had no Known Enemies..
As far as residents of Union are
aware, Mr. Perry had no known epe
mles who might commit the deed. It
was not robbery that Incited the
crime, for the remains had not been
touched, eviden ly, after the bullets
had been fired. About $5 in cash and
a gold watch were still in the pockets
when the body was found. '
. - Mystery Deepens.
- The longer the Jury probes the mat
ter the more mysterious the incident
has become. He frequently complained
of tramps coming to his home near
the railroad track to ask for a bed
- and a meal. Some think that tramps
had found their way to the place and
hid in the garret, and Mr. Perry, per
haps, hearing noises up there, went to
Investigate with his lamp, only to meet
a fusillade of bullets. There is no pos
sible chance for. the suicide theory,
: and as a result the entire affair la
veiled in a mystery which will perhaps
never be ferreted out
Perry was employed with the asses
sor's office at various times for about
Ave years, and occassionally was em
. ployed in the. sheriff's office.
It is reported from Union this af
( ternoori that Mr. Perry was arrang
ing his business matters to go to
Portland to join his family consist
ing of a wife and three small child
renbut was frustrated H7 the mur
lerer's hand. In the excitement pre
vailing at Union today nothing has
been done in the way of funeral ar
rangements. The body is so badly de
composed that it will be difficult to
conduct a public funeral service.

held in readiness, and it is likely that
an additional 600 feet of stalls will
fce built this week. "There is plenty
of room," said President A. C. Mil
ler this morning to an Observer man,
"to accommodate all the live stock of
the surrounding country.- And we will
build additional sheds just as fast as
we need them."
In speaking of the probable attend
ance from La Grande Mr. Miller said:
"Our delegation, in the interest of
the Fair, sent to La Grande last week,
was courteously and enthusiastically
met by everybody there. We were
treated royally, and I have no doubt
that our eastern metropolis,, La
Grande, will be represented en masse.
Wallowa county will surely respond
in attendance to La Grande's fair."
Thus far not a "hitch" has occur-
ed to disarrange any of the Fair plans
here. And good weather permitting,
thousands will attend daily. The city
of Enterprise is making preparation
to give all these visitors comfortable
quarters while here. '
Irrlgatlonlsts In Pueblo.
Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 21 Interest in
Irrigation is apparently not confined
to the west, for many eastern visitors
are arriving in Pueblo this week to
inspect the displays at the Irrigation
Exposition and attend the eighteenth
.National Irrigation congress. Although
the latter does not open until Monday
next, scores of delegates are already
here. One of the most Interesting fea
tures of congress will be the discus
sion of private irrigation enterprises.
Millions of barren 'acres in the seml
arid sections of the country could be
made to produce tremendous crops by
the Installation of irrigation works,
thus offering a conservative Invest
ment for private capital. Some of the
private Irrigation schemes worked In
the past, However, have been of a
wildcate nature, and these will be se
verely dealt with by the congress.
