Victim May Lose Both Eyes.
Baker. March 27. (Special.) Ac
cording' to the attending physician
Sunday, H seemed likely that John
Carroll, the victim of Pinney Currey,
who shot him with a load of No. 4
shot Tuesday night, would lose the
sight of both eyes. The right optic,
the only one remaining, seemed to be
losing its power and Carroll could
see but very little and late In the
day was almost blind. Yesterday,
however, he could distinguish the
light when the bandage was removed
and- possibly It will be saved. It
seems that the charge of shot
through the glass door must have
carried some particles of glass rath
er than shot Into the eye, and every
effort Is being made to ascertain the
cause of the trouble.
Ills wife goes to see htm every day,
and the only story of the affair that
he has told was to her. He said he
thought the Currey store was a sa
loon and that by going In tbo back
way, even though it was after hours,
he could find a friend whom be
thought was sleeping in a back room.
He says he did not cut the screen
door, although It was found cut.

Forger Caught Last1 Evening.
(Baker Democrat.)
A man giving the name of Claude
Fets was arrested last evening by
Officers Brennan and Nelson after
several unsuccessful ( attempts to
pass worthless checks at different
saloons. His game was suspected
and the officers all but caught him In
the act. 'When arrested and thrown
Into the city Jail, be admitted that
the checks were forgeries.
Aa far as could be learned be did
not succeed In cashing any. The
checks were drawn In favor of him
self and the forger made use of First
National Bank checks. The captured
penman is a stranger and would give
no account of himself.
most educators, which fact the press
of the entire state has always recog
nized with flattering tribute from
j time to time. His record of success
!ls too well known to make necessary
a detailed recital at this time but
while his advanreronnt Is merited and
his friends are glad therefore; yet to
say goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Church
ill and their family will be a bard
task and an almost Impossible one,
were it not for the fact of his moving
up Into a higher and broader field
where his abilities may have freer
play than In the necessarily limited
range of effort here. However, he
may rest assured that wherever his
future career may lead him, bis
friends ,wcll know that bis record
will be such that Baker will always
point to him with- pride and claim
him as one of us.
The proposed change when will
take Prof. Churchill and bis family
to Salem will take place In June at
the end of tbe school year.

In the county Jail, following efforts
to commit suicide in tbe city Jail, con
tinues hie disturbances nightly and
since 'bis arrest has slept but a few '
hours, when he became exhausted f
yesterday afternoon and took a short,
nap.
He has not tried to beat his brains
out as be did at first but keeps up a
constant moaning an3' crying so that !
his fellow prisoners and Jail officials
as well know little peace. If he can
not be Induced to cease his no'sy
lamentations other quarters will be
found for him.
His case is now being considered
by the grand Jury which is expected
to report tomorrow. Heretofore lo

The Heaviest Amsriean Brain.
nr. Edward A. Spittka.-the brain
specialist, credits the late Edward H
Knicht with having the heaviest Amer

well known In Washington and was a

of his death his brain weighed 1.814
crnms General Benjamin F. Butler
had a brain which weighed 1,708
graiuH. the next heaviest recorded, ac
cording to Dr Spitzka. The heaviest
brain on record anywhere In the world
Is given as that of tbe Rusxlan poet

Churchill's Friends Jnhilant.
(Baker Democrat.)
The announcement in Portland yes
terday afternoon that State Superin
tendent of Schools L. R. Alderman
had accepted the position as super
intendent of the Portland city schools
means almost certainly the appoint
ment of iProf. J. A. Churchill of this
city as Mr. Alderman's successor, ac
cording to the opinion of those close
In touch wl:h the situation, because
the attitude of Governor West Is
known to be strongly in favor of the
Baker man as the next- head of the
state educational Institution. While
the appointment has not yet been an
nounced, according to those In close
touch there Is little or no doubt bin
that the acceptance of Mr. Alderman
of the Portland position means fflr.
Churchill'a selection.
Prof. Churchill himself knows
nothing definite as yet and wll no,
unt'l officially Informed of bis ap
pointment by the governor, and w;il

to say that he knew some of his
friends have been working for him
and that If named as Mr. Alderman's
successor it will be because of their
efforts.
While Baker as a community will
appreciate the honor that comes to
the city in the selection of Prof.
Churchill for this important position
In charge of the educational affairs
of the state, and the people will con
gratulate him on his advance into a
broader field of endeavor, where hi
success ts certain still we believe the j S
Democrat voices the sentiment r.fjj
every man, woman and child in Baker j i
when we eav that his departure from:'
