FIRES AT OTHER
ARM AND SIDE ARE PEPPERED
Forty-five Take Effect But Wounds
Are Not Thought -Dangerous
by Doctor Fog Helps
Muddle Matters
With 45 shots in his left arm, and
his leg, shoulder, and left side well
peppered with wounds, William Crites
er, of Willamette, is in the Oregon
City hospital as the result of a hunt
ing trip with his brother-in-law near
Rock Island Sunday morning.
They had planned for Criteser to
walk up the shore while the other was
to go up in a boat. When the two
came opposite Rock Island they were,
to meet and hunt together.
It appears that Criteser arrived at
the appointed place first and was wait
ing for his pardner, when the later, ap
proaching his brother-in-law through
the brush and fog, scared up several
birds and fired. The shots cut
through the underbrush and hit Crite
ser, who was about 50 feet away.
The wounded man was taken across
the river in a row boat and then down
to this city in a buggy where he was
placed in a hospital.
He is a resident of Willamette and
is about 27 years of age. Although at
first it was thought that the accident
would result fatally or at least that
his arm would be amputated, Doctor
Meissner is of the opinion that the
arm can be saved and that the man
can go home in a week or so.
GATHER TO SCHEME
Mystery surrounds the movements
of the drys in Oregon City.
Though the forces gather in the
Presbyterian church for their meet
ings at least once a week and the
committees have been at work for
several days on their campaign plans,
not a. single one of the leaders ever
has an idea of what those plans may
be or what action any of the workers
will take for the promotion of the in
terests of the faction.
Monday night another one of these
mysterious meetings was held in' the
church. The clans gathered for their
weekly conference and plans were
brewed. Yet, after it was all over,
none of the leaders of the movement
could remember a thing that happen
ed there nor could any of them give
the slightest hint as to the movements
that the faction planned to make dur
ing the coming weeks.
At the same time, "things are do
ing" in the camp of the pros this
week. They are scheming for th?
victory at the polls next month. Just
what those schemes are yet remains
one of the secrets of the dry organiza
tion in the city ond one of the politi
cal mysteries of the campaign.

JURY ASKS COURT TO GRANT
PAROLE AFTER PASSING
SENTENCE
GIRL MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS
Leaves Home When Sheriffs Start Af
ter Her and Eludes Their Pur
suitSaid He Did Not
Remember
In spite of the fact' that Elsie Utiger
the woman in the case, disappeared in
order to protect him, Charles Wright
was convicted in the circuit court
Monday night on an indictment charg
ing assault with intent to kill.
Though the deputies of the county
hunted for several days to find her,
the woman has mysteriously disap
peared and they have been unable to
locate her anywhere. A few days
ago the sheriff received the subpeona
and began the search. He discovered
that the girl had left her home im-'
mediately after the papers had been
issued" and that none of her friends
knew where she had gone.
Wright is said to have shot at the
woman as she was going to her home
in Oak Grove, but refused to testify
against him. He now declares that
he knew nothing of the incident and
that the first he remembers is that he
awoke that next morning in the city
jail.
The fact that the jury recommended
to the court that the man be paroled
immediately after he was sentenced
is taken by the attorneys for the de
fense as a victory for them. The jury
first asked the court whether such a
verdict would be considered and, after
securing approval, rendered its de
cision. Livy Stipp prosecuted the case
while B. N. Hicks and E. O. Eby were
on the defense. The sentence will be
passed Thursday morning.
OUSTERS TO FILL
AIR WITH SMOKE
The members of the Commercial

It will be the first of the winter sea
son. The regular custom of the club
is to have a number ef them during
the year. As a rule every effort is
made to make them alive with unique
features.

he said. "I had better be, or I'll lose
my job."

to worry about it. The little fellow

winter who go to San Francisco will see such huge iron skeletons against the sky, like mammoth mastodons of pre
historic times. This is the central iirch of the Manufacturers' building, which will be the largest of the exposition
group. Its great spans rise over 125 feet above the ground. When the exposition opens Jan. 1. 1915. this building
will be one of the most interesting of the fair. . -

for the prize was far greater than his subscription list. He serves as editor, compositor, proof-reader,- "devil,"

Elaborate preparations are being
made by the Willamette Dancing club
for its closing party of the 1912-13
season which will be held October 30.
If the attendance and interest are suf
ficiently encouraging, the members
plan to reorganize for . next season.
The Willamette club's parties are
among the most enjoyable events of
Oregon City's social life and it is not
probable that the club will be dis
banded on account of lack of appre
ciation. About 25 of Oregon City's represen
tative business men will attend the
banquet of the Oregon Social Hygiene
society to be held at the Portland ho
tel this evening.
The local lodge of Foresters of Am

CLUB SIGNS LEASE
FOR NEW BUILDING
The board of governors of the Com
mercial club held its regular monthly
meeting Monday night at which mat
ters pertaining to the erection of their
new building were settled.
Papers for the leasing of the build
ing at the corner of Eighth and Main
streets, to be known as the Commer
cial Club building from the Mt. Hood
Brewing company were signed. Ar
rangements had been reached before
and the details had been settled, but
it was not till Monday night that the
final papers were signed.
The plans call for a building which
will be modern in every respect; not
only as a business building, but also
for club purposes. The exterior will
be finished in the finest materials ob
tainable and the same care to detail
will also apply to the interior.
The second floor, which will conr
tain the club rooms, will have three
general divisions; the parlor, the club
room, and the dining room wtth the
kitchen. Besides these there will be
cloak and committee rooms. The club
room will contain billard tables and
every convenience that will tend to
ward completeness and comfort. The
dining room and kitchen will also be
the last word in up-to-date arrange
ments and finish.
The building will be ready by Janu
ary if present plans are carried out.
The clubmen are working out ideas
now -for their big "blow out" which
will celebrate the opening on New
Year's night.
