"They returned to his cabin Tues
day to steal his horse, wagon, pro
visions and gun, and go to thci
grand father, W. M. Ketherford at
Lebanon, Or. They were loading up
the supplies when Hamill returned.
They barricaded themselves in nam
ill's house, and as he approached, or
dered him to stay back. Apparently
realizing the danger from the ir
responsible boys, Hamill parleyed
with them, telling them he was hun-irrv.
"The older boy agreed to carry food
to him, while the younger kept Hamill
covered with Hamill's own gun, a 32

bullets. When they approached Ham
ill seized him, got behind him, and or-

commanding general has the right to
waive physical defects if the individu

In referring to H. K. Wickhnm,
once in m Grande and now in service
on the border, the Observer yesterday
referred to him as a captain. He is
a non-commissioned officer.

the older boy, and the younger boy,
not strong enough to put the gun to
his shoulder, held it low, pointed to
ward Hamill, and pulled the trigger.
Hoy's Arm Is (irazed.
Hamill was stooping low behind the
older boy. The bullet passed through
the left sleeve of the boy, grazing nis
arm, and entered Hamill's right eye.
According to the boys' confession,
Hamill fell upon the older boy, who,
with Hamill's blood on his clothing,
crawled from beneath the dead man,
and with his brother, finished their
preparations for flight.
"As described by officers who
trailed them, the ride they made was
the wildest and most hazardous con
ceivable. "They traveled across the sage
brush much of the way. They drove
down into two canyons 400 feet deep.
One was so steep the wagon tipped
over. The boys, with surprising in
genuity, righted the wagon by throw
ing a rope over the wagon to the low
er wheel, then hitching the horse to
the rope. They went many miles,
then doubled back, causing the offic
ers to lose the trail.
"The pursuing officers, however, did
not know they were trailing boy mur
derers, but thought perhaps they were
trailing an insane fiend. Meantime
Probation Officer Ormsby was saked
to watch for two small runaway boys,
who, when he found them, found alsj
in their possession Hamill's property.
They are being held here awaiting
trial.
"A wave of pity for the homeless,
forsaken children, and horror over the
terrible crime, has swept the community."
Well Known Magazine Agent in This
Vicinity Sets Woman Right.
Many La Grande families will as
sure a certain Pennsylvania . mother
that Leo Adlor of Baker was born in
Baker, lives in Baker and is not a
Pennsylvania runaway boy, as press
dispatches say. Leo Adler frequently
comes to La Grande as manager of
the Hearst and Curtis publishing com
panies for this state. Consequently
it will be of interest to note follow
ing from the Baker Herald:
With two mothers claiming foim as
their son, Leo Adler of this city yes
nt tn Mrs. B. Klevanskv.
Reading, Pennsylvania, to assure her j
that he had been born and reared in i
Baker and is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Adler of BakJr.
A picture of young Adler, published
in a weekly magazine for which he is
local agent, without the name of the
original, caused Mrs. Klevansky to be
ileve that she had located her own
boy, who ran away to join the U. S.
army four years ago. Her attorney,
J. W. Glass, identified the picture as
that of young Klevansky, by refer
ence to the latter's baby pictures, and
the letters followed.
The picture was traced through the
mno-azine. but even when the name
was revealed, the facial similarity was
so striking that the mother in Read
ing still believed Adler to foe her son,
using un assumed name. She beggad
him to answer at once, even if she
should be mistaken, and 'he responded
immediately, expressing his regret
that she had not been successful in
her quest.
