Alarms For Safety Not For Annoyance Yesterday you were liable to ar rest if you didn't whistle, today you are liable to arrest if you do. In 1911 the city council passed an ordi nance compelling the use of auto mobile horns and whistles on all street corners. There were far less autos on the streets then, and people were less used to seeing them turning corners and darting about Uian they are now. This ordinance has been enforced until it has be- j come second nature to auto users in fact Councilman Foster said that he had acquired the habit until he sometimes catches himself whistling softly when turning the corners On foot. Resides the regulation covering Uie use of warning signals on street ! corners, the ordinance provides that there shall be no such signals at any " place or occasion, excepting emergency, and then but two sig nals, of five seconds cuoh. Extracts from the new ordinance which be came a law at a special meeting of the council held in the City Hull yesterday afternoon: All vehicle approaching an inter-section of a street, road or highway, with inten tion of turning thereat, shall be un der control, and in turning to the right shall keep closely to the right, and in turning to the left shall run to and beyond the center of the inter-section before turning; that every vehicle approaching an inter section, road, street or highway, shall be under control so as to per mit the vehicle to the right of the vehicle approaching to first cross the intersecting street, road, or highway, and that at "the inter sections the vehicle approaching the intersection shall have the right of way; that all blowing of whistles, bloating of horns, sound ing of sirens, and the giving of other and like signals on the streets, alleys, roads, highwoys and other places within the city of Prineville, Oregon, is prohibited and restrained. Pine Timber Worth $1.50 per M The District Forester at Portland has just approved a sale of approxl mately 500,000 ft. of National For est timber to E. E . Purington of Burns.' The timber is situated on about 75 acres on the Malheur for est and is chiefly yellow pine and Douglas fir. The tract is, in an isolated locality and the lumber will be used for local consumption. The stumpage price paid for both species is $1.50 per M. The agree ment with the Forest Service allows the company until June 30, 1916, for the cutting and removal of the timber. , Sheriff Busy Round ing Up Criminals Sheriff Knox was called to Pau lina the last of the week to in vestigate the burning of 80 tons of hay on the II. H. Davis ranch near that point. Every indication points to the fact that the fire was of incendiary origin for among other things that lead tg this conclusion, there had been a piece of perhaps 10 feet of the telephone line cut out and taken away. The hay was sold early in the winter to J. N. Wil liamson, but was not used because of the mild weather. Although there are several clues to the case, no arrests have been made Although three men have been re leased during the week, there are yet eight boarders at the county jail. , Postoffiee Inspector Limbeaush was in Prineville yesterday on his way south. He will inspect a num bor of the small offices in the county before returning to Portland.

Dana and Mrs. Kizer Are Victims, Former Has Broken Arm, Latter Flesh Wound j Prineville Gets An- other Brick Building The brick building on Main street owned by Jack Curtis, is being en- : larged to a 25 x 90 structure. This building which was originally con j structed by the Crook County Bank for the use of that institution, was originally 25 by ' 40 feet. It has been occupied by the Crook County Abstract company until recently, when these people moved into their own building oh Third street. The vault of the Curtis building was transfered to the new building now occupied by the abstract company the last of the week and the rear of the Curtis building has been re moved in preparation for the exten sion. The work is being done under contract by Wra. Black who recent ly arrived in Prineville and expects to do contract work here Mr. Cur tis does not know just what kind of a business will occupy the new building, but it will be rented to someone. The new building will be of brick with a metal roof. Mr. Curtis thinks it will be ready to occupy in about a month. Saturday forenoon T. E. Dana and Austin Kizer became involved in a controversy over some cattle on the Dana ranch near Post, and a shoot ing occured which resuted in Dana having his left arm broken below the elbow and Mrs. Kizer having a number four shot in the elbow of her right arm from Dana's 12 gague shotgun. Kizer was bond over to await the action tt the grand jury in the matter, his bond being placed at $500. . It appears from the evidence given at the hearing held Monday, that there has been feeling between Dana and Kizer for some time, and SattfrVlay when the Kizer cattle got into the Dana ranch, Kizer went after them taking with him a 25-35 caliber rifle. He was accompanied by Mrs. Kizer. After some words, Dana, who was plowing near his house, procured his 12-gauge pump gun, and at least three shots were fired at Kizer and Mrs. Kizer was wounded in the flesh of the right arm. There are conflicting stories as to the number of shots fired by Kizer' who was shooting at the same time, but Dana stated under oath that he was fired at 25 or 30 times. " After firing at least three shots, Dana left his gun in the cabin and ran away, he says, with Kizer shoot ing at him as he ran. The shot that took effect in Dana's arm must have been fired at a distance of 300 yards or more according to Deputy Sheriff Kowellwhowas called to the scene of the trouble and located the spot from the blood stains on the ground. The bond was readily fur nished by Kizer for his appearance before the grand jury. -Cory In Chica0o Herald.
