FARMER KILLED ANOTHER
WITNESS TO SHOOTING SAYS IT
WAS IS SELF-DEFEXSE.
TroHble Arose Over the Setting; of
Stakes for a Road ThroHgk
a.. Marlon Conaty Farm.
SALEM, Dec. 13. John Roppel was shot
at his home near Hubbard this morning
by Thurston Grimm, and died from the
effects of his wound early this evening.
Both men are farmers, and Grimm Is a
life-long resident of this county. Grfcnm
came .to Salem immediately after the
shooting and surrendered himself to the
Sheriff.
Sheriff Durbin had telephone com
munication this afternoon with a wit
ness to the shoptlng, and was Informed
that Grimm acted in self-defense. As no
complaint had been made against Grimm,
and the indications were that no crime
had been committed, the Sheriff refused
to take the man Into custody. Grimm
returned home this evening, after telling
the Sheriff he would come to Salem any
time he was wanted.
Coroner Lane, accompanied by Sheriff
Durbin, will go to the scene of the shoot
ing tomorrow and hold an Inquest.
Grimm Is well known here, and bears
an excellent reputation. Roppel Is not
generally known here.
It seems that there has been a contro
versy regarding the location of a county
road adjoining Roppel's farm, and the
County Court recently decided the con
troversy adversely to Roppel's contention.
In pursuance of an order from the Road
master, Mr. Grimm yesterday set stakes
marking the boundary of the road as
laid out by the court. These stakes were
removed last night, presumably by Rop
pel. This morning Mr. Grimm went to
replace the stakes, and when he went up
on what Roppel claimed as his land, Rop
pel procured a rifle and began firing at
Grimm. Grimm then drew his revolver
and returned the fire. After several shots
Roppel fell, pierced through the body by
a bullet. This is the story of the case as
related in brief by Grimm, who says that
the whole affair happened so quickly that
he did not know how many shots were
exchanged. According to Grimm, Roppel
did not order him to desist from his work
of setting stakes, nor did ho give any
warning of his Intention to shoot.
CUTTING SCRAPE AT OREGON CITY.
Foreman of Paper Mill Attacked by

OREGON CITY, Dec. 13. Frank Bernler,
foreman of the beater-room In the Crown
Paper Company's mill, was severely cut

but had been idle for some time, and was
engaged to come to work tonight as a
substitute for a regular man. When
"Wicks arrived he was in an intoxicated
condition and unfit for work, and Bernler
told him to go home. Wicks drew a
knife and threatened to strike the fore
man, who grasped his uplifted arm, and
In the scuffle that ensued Bernler received
a bad cut on the hand. The knife went
out of the window. Wicks was put out of
the mill, but soon returned with two other
men, who were strangers to the mill em
ployes, and started in to do up Bernler
and the man who was working with him.
Other employes came to the rescue, ana
Wicks was seized and securely bound.
The police were notified by telephone and
jailed the offender. The other two men
escaped.

WORK OF FISH HATCHERIES.
Report of Warden Van Dusen for the
Month of November.
SALEM, Or.. Dec. 13. Tho report of
Master Fish Warden Van Dusen for the
month of November shows that at the
Umpqua hatchery 1,200,000 chlnook eggs
and fry have been secured as a result of
the season's work. Of these, 00,000 were
secured at the eyeing station established
this year about 25 miles above the .hatch
ery. The eggs and fry are in a healthy
condition.
Speaking of the hatchery work on other
rivers, the report says:
McKenzic River.
I made a thorough Investigation of the Mo
Kenzle River up as far as the McKenzIo
bridge, looking forward to the matter of se
lecting thereon a suitable situation on which
we can locate another year. The river In ap
parently a natural spawning ground for the
chlnook and steelhcad variety of salmon from
Its mouth to Its source, and affords a great
many desirable situations for our work. I
found that we will have a great deal to contend
with there on account of the logging that I be
ing carried on quite extensively along the banks
of the lower river, and If we attempt to operate
on the stream, choice as her waters appear to
bo, we should endeavor to keep above the log
ging camps, for their driving season occurs at
the Fame time that we would be attempting to
stop and hold our supply of fish. The most de
sirable situations on her upper waters I found
at Gate Creek, Blue River, the Mason place,
and near he Finn Hotel.
Swan Falls Hatchery.
November 10 I visited the plant at Swan
Falls, and found that Superintendent F. C.
Brown had taken nearly a half million eggs
as a result of his work this ssoson. This is
not much of a showing, but we did not expect
to accomplish everything at this new place this
year, but were desirous of determining. If pos
sible whether a good variety of salmon could
be gotten on those upper water, and, if so, de
termine. If possible, whether eggs could ho
taken In any great quantity. As a result, from
what Httlo we did. and from the experience had
there this season, late as Jt Wt, I feel con
fident that on the Snake we will In the future
be able to make a very creditable showing,
with a gocd variety of the chlnook salmon. The
eggs taken by Mr. Brown were from tho
choicest of the chlnook salmon, and were In a
perfect condition. Ths tako there being so
small, we have since brought the batch out.
and havo taken them out on the Sandy River
to our Salmon River hatchery to be cared for.
Deslrnble Place for Hatchery.
The report says that a desirable plan
for a hatchery has been found on a small
cold-water branch of the Imnaha River
In Wallowa County, the next season a full
Insnectlon will be had in order to de
termine whether it is best to establish a
hatchery there. Continuing, Mr. Van
Dusen says:
Grand Rondc River Hatchery.
At this experimental station. I found Super
intendent Allen at work collecting eggs from
the sllversldo variety of salmon. Ha had. up
to the last of tho month, taken 7,000,000 egg.
t.OOO.COO of which were taken from Summer
teelheads, and 5,500,000 from silvcrsldes. and.
from indications as then shown, he should be
able to take another million or two of the
sllverslde variety. These were not exactly the
kind of salmon we were In hopes of getting
on this river, but this shows conclusively that
if In the future we are able to get tho chlnook
and blueback salmon in any quantity In addi
tion to this late variety Of salmon, the stream
will well warrant the establishing thereon of
a well-equipped hatchery plant.
Wallowa County Is an exceptional county,
and affords some of the best streams of water
for our work that could be possibly asked for.
It is also an arid country, and has to be Irri
gated In order to be made to produce as Its
soil should: but from Its people and those In
terested In Irrigating ditches, I am Inclined to
think tnat wo need have no fear of entering
that section on their account, for they are ail
thoroughly familiar with the extent and mag
nitude of our work, and are anxious to help
and assist In any way that Is practicable.
The fish racks on the Bluslaw were
washed out by the first freshet of the
season, ahd only 350.000 eggs were se
cured. A similar misfortune was suffered

Women's Irregular Menses
Stanton, Ma May 26, J900.
I have always suffered with terrible pains at my monthly periods. These last three, months I have taken
three bottles of wine of Cardul and three packages of Thedford's Black-Draught, according to your instruc
tions, and now have no pains at all. As 1 have always suffered before, all during tbe time, I can safely say
the medicines have done me much good. I consider your Thedford's Black-Draught a fine remedy. I thine
tout medicines stand at the head of all others in regulating the monthly periods. SOPHIA LOTTMAN.
Regular habits arc the foundation of a woman's health. She courts disastrous sickness and even
death itself, when she allows herself to keep very late hours. It is unnatural for anyone to spend slcep-Iess-nights
and drowsy, fretful days. This strain strikes at the vital center of womanhood, the nervous
system and deranged menstruation, with all its appalling suffering, is the result
will regulate the menstrual flow. It makes strong nerves. Mrs. Lottman suffered because her menses
were irregular, and Wine of Cardui cured her of a very severe illness. A woman who is careful to
take Wine of Cardui to correct irregularities need "never know iht suffering so many of her sisters
endure. Vine ol Cardui has cured 1,000,000 sufferers, many worse cases than Mrs. Lottman's. Don't
suffer any longer. The offer of such a remedy as Wine of Cardui puts the whole matter in your hands.
Will you get.a 1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to-day and secure speedy relief?

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the greatest boon on
earth to suffering women." Mrs. Anna Astqn, Bos 13, Troy, Mo.
Ovarian trouble is serious trouble Every woman knows this. Frequently
she has ovarian trouble when she thinks she ha3 only a "pain in the side." AH
at once she finds herself unable to walk. She is a sick woman. An operation,
dangerous and expensive, is the usual procedure, and. at best, she can expect
merely o gather together the shattered remnants of health after a tediou3
struggle.
Many times this is necessary and many times it is not. It is wise for every
woman, to bo convinced that every backache and sideache, every abdominal
pain, indicates something wrong, and something which will not go away itself or
bo driven away by hard work. It is also right for every woman to know that
for every disorder of the feminine organs Lydia E. Pinlchans
Vegetable Compound is the perfect treatment, that ft is the medicine
always safe to use and always certain to help.
When your health and perhaps your life is at stake, is it wise to pas3 by a
remedy which holds the record for the greatest number of absolute cures of
femala ills and which is recognized by tho profession to be the greatest medicine
for women in the world, and accept something else which you know little or
nothing about?
