Shooting Commences Qver Local Traps
Thip Morning at 9:30.
- Amateurs and professionals from
a wide range of territory reported
at the La Grande Gun club traps this
morning to participate in the annual
shoot conducted . by the local club.
Rain kept several amateurs away who
otherwise would have been conspicu'
ous figures in the shooting. The fur
ther most amateur visitors are J. E.
Wade and F. D. Wade, of Boise, who
are participating. The traps, locat
ed at-the river bank near Oro Dell,
have been booming powder all day,
and from the start, excellent records
were made. The contestants for the
various moneys and trophies stayed
on the ground all day, taking a lunch
at the noon hour served on the trap
.grounds. - ,
Among the out of town participants
who, coupled with the home guard,
make several first class squads on, the
firing line, are: W. A. Hulls' and
Chas. McKean, Remington U. M. C

BE WORKED OVER.
Bottom of Swinging Tank Lower
Than Sewer Line In Alley.
New and unexpected difficulties
face the building committee of the Y,
M. C. A. The original plans providing
for the swimming tank, were such
that the existing sewer line was high
er than the bottom of the tank, and
the committee and architects must
now escape this difficulty in some way,
Just how, is not known. One manner
suggested is to do away with a small
portion of the dormitory, as it has
been found that the main gymnasium
floor would be fully 10 feet off the
street grade if the entire tank and
basemont equipment were raised suf
ficiently high to clear the sewer line.
The architect will proceed to work
out a solution of the problem which
confronted the committee when it
convened in its regular weekly session
last evening.'

Albany Fails to Convict.
Albany, Or., Oct. 7. Six local busi
ness men, forming a justice court
jury, tried for 10 hours Saturday to
decide whether or not George Black,
of Corvalis, is frailty of hunting Bob
White quail contrary to the Oregon
game laws. They gave up the effort
just before midnight, when they an
nounced that it was impossible to
agree and Justice of the Peace Swan
discharged them.
Black was arrested about three
weeks ago, charged with hunting quail
near Oakville, and was arraigned be
fore Justice Swan here. As he was
employed in a prune dryer in Corvalis,
he requested that his trial be delayed
until after the rush of work harvest-
ng the prune crop was completed and
this request was granted. It is re
ported that the jury stood 6 to 1 for
acquittal for some time before being
discharged.
$500 Lots for $250.
In order to close out a number of

Connordale for $250. These lots are
choicely located and have sold on the
market for $500. They are 'bargains

by the weight of the snow, which

poles and wires, bearing them down
and in many cases breaking them.
This condition caused an unusual
accident to the westbound passenger

. The cause of "Wet Coyote's" death
is not clearly known, but it may have
been caused by heart failure or to
infirmity due to old age. He was
about 60 years old. A report current
in town is to the effect he had been
upon a drunk. However, Deputy Agent
Barber, who has been handling the
matter for the government in the ab
sence of Major Swartzlander, who is
in Portland, says he does not think the
Indian was a drinking man.

the required lines, but on the con
trary believed he had traced the mur
der to a gang of thieves to which
neighbors of the boy's family belong
ed and who were known to be fearful
that Yuschinsky would betray them to
the authorities. He secured evidence
that one of the thieves was seen with
a chisel shortly before the murder and
that this same implement, covered
with blood, was found by two boys
near the brick kiln afterwards. The
boys, upon orders of the thief, threw
it into a sewer.
When Krassovesky made his first
report to his superiors he was stern
ly reprimanded. Later he was prac
tically forced by' them to arrest Men
del Beilis, a Jew, 40 years of age,
foreman of the brickyard, in whose
room one of the thieves' gang said he
had found some of the boy's clothing.
On producing further evidence indi

the innocence of Beilis, Krassovsky
was dismissed from office.
