UNKNOWN FIRES THE BULLETS Prompt Aid of Physician Saves His Life Friends Conceal Identity of Assailant and Save . Illni From Arrest. Because he Insisted upon making trou ble at the White House, a man giving his namo as Bob Insley was shot In the head three times last night at 10:30 o'clock, and that the wounds did not prove fatal was due to the timely presence of Dr. G. H. Strowbrldge, who cared for the injured man. The firing of the shots is a mystery, and those who were present at the White House at the time the trouble occurred Insist that they have not the 'slightest notion who was tho guilty party. Mr. Insley, accompanied by a woman. whose name could not bo learned, had gone out to the White House In a row- boat to spend the evening. They resort ed to feasting and wine, as a means of amusement, and before it was time to start home both were very drunk. In his drunken condition Insley becamo con vlnced that he had no friends, and that every one was to be treated as a bitter enemy. Accordingly, he started trouble with each supposed enemy, and when he thought he had them all vanquished, he started in to breaking up the furniture and defacing the building. Robert WJltz, manager of the White House, stood all tho abuse as best he could, and offered the man no violence, or, at least, this Is the statement of Dr. Strowbrldge, who had driven up to the White House a few moments before the trouble commenced. Despite the fact that no one opposed him on his wild frenzy, the drunken man heaped abuse on the heads of every one present. He called them names of every kind and description, and challenged them to fight singly or collectively. By per suasion and gentle treatment, the man ager finally managed to convince the well-known salesman that he was not doing the right thing, and Insley said he would go back to the boat and return to the city. With his woman companion Insley left the houser and those present breathed a sigh of relief as he departed. They were surprised a few moments later to see him coming back, swearing and abusing every one In a high pitched voice. "We cannot have him back here," said someone, and they were all wondering how they would Induce him to keep away when the question was solved In a startling spanner. VCrack, crack, crack," rang out three pistol shots, and the man dropped In his tracks. Dr. f Strowbrldge, who was out driving at thfe tlnfeT hastened to the aid of the wounded man. and found him very weak. and losing blood, rapidly. The shock from the shots had been great,- and but for prompt action on. the part of the physi cian It Is thought that he would not have recovered. He was hastily taken into the house, and his wounds dressed. That the shots had been fired with an intent to kill, was shown by the fact that each of them had hie the victim In the head, and that the three shots had struck but a short distance apart. That his life was spared Is probably due to a false wig that he wore. All three shots struck in the wig, but were turned upward caus ing no wound that pierced the brain. "The man will live." said Dr. Strow brldge, "but his case looked dangerous for a while. He was very weak when I picked him up." Asked Is there were' any suspicion as to who fired the shots. Dr. Strowbrldge said that he bad not the least Idea. "The shot was fired from the house," said he, "while the man was still out In the road. He was shot three times In quick succession, but as to who fired the shots I can form no opinion." Directly after the shooting, Insley and his woman companion were taken In charge by two men who were at the White House, and brought by train to the city. Jailer Jackson was notified' by telephone to meet them at the train, and they were taken to the County Jail where they were locked up for tne night. They refused to make any staemcnt of the af fair.

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., July 17. (Special.) Preliminary steps have been taken on what promises to be the great est irrigation scheme In the Northwest and probably in the whole country In a canal system for the Yakima and Kit titas Valley that will water about 400,000 acres of desert land. Yesterday the Yakima Development Company, capital ized at J25O.00O, filed articles of Incorpora tion with the County Auditor. The presi dent Is Attorney Edward Whltson, of this city; secretary and treasurer, H. S. Jud son. of St. Paul, Minn., and associated with these two men is L. A. Nares, of Fresno. Cal., who has Interests and con trols 6000 miles of canals In the San Joaquin Valley, California. Messrs. Judson and Nare3 arrived here Wednesday afternoon, and have since been engaged in getting their plans un der way. They were here last February and went over the field and directed that surveys of the canal be made at once. So favorably were they Impressed with the result of the survey that they are here to do business and are ready to Invest $3,000,000 In the undertaking. The plan of the company Is to build a storage reservoir at the lakes at the head of the Yakima River, for which purpose an appropriation has already been made, and Increase the water sup ply from SC00 to 4000 eublc feet during tho lowest period In tho river's flow. The canal will carry the water through the Kittitas Valley to the land In the Moxee district and thence to the Columbia slope. Mr. Judson is one of the largest stockholders of the Yakima Land & Llv- stock Company, a corporation which owns 36,000 acres In the Moxee Valley above the present Irrigated district. As a result of the preliminary work done the Northern Paclflp Railway has withdrawn all Its land from the market: the state has also done the same, and It Is likely the Government will take the same steps. Jay Lynch, the superintendent of the Yakima Indian reservation, has been no tified by the Interior Department to ad vertise for bids for the construction of the canal on the reservation- This work was ordered done last March, but waB held tip by certain parties who Interposed because of an alleged shortage of water. The Interior Department sent an expert on hero to make an investigation, and he has found that there is , more water going to waste In this valley than. Is utilized by the farmer, and he also found that a great many farmers were rulnlnir their land because they used too much water for Irrigation purposes. The canal will cost J45.000. and will water 50.000 acres of land, said to be the finest In tne vaijey. tms is all Indian land and will be subject to lease at the rate of 5o cents and $1 per acre. It 13 understood that Eastern parties were here a short time ago and made an effort to lease 10,000 acres of the land but were unsuccessful. The work on the canal will all be done by Indians Insofar as possible. Pafitnre. Land Burned. SALEM, July 17. (Special.)

It Makes No Differ ence How Far You Are Away Our specialist In diseases of men, owing to his long experience. Is able to diagnose most cases and prescribe, providing a good descrip tion is given by letter. Although we number our patients from every state, our business is not confined to this conUnent, but we send treatment to nearly every country In tho world. Not long ago a gentleman sent a letter describ ing his case arid also a money order from Paris, France, and asked us to send him treatment, remarking that we had cured a certain gentle man who was a friend of his. Another gentleman, residing in the Province of Posen, Germany, wrote, saying that he had seen our advertisement, and would like to havo us send him treatment for stricture, if we were not afraid to trust him across the sea. We sent treatment by rcall, and In 60 days received a letter saying he had sent a postofflce order by same mall, and that our treatment had cured him entirely. He Incidentally remarked that he believed the specialists of the United States were far superior to those in Germany. We have also patients in Australia. Sandwich Islands and In the Philippines. Treatment Different From Others We prescribe for each individual case. Any benefit received from treatment Is part of a permanent cure, as we give no temporary stimulants and, our methods are all original. Stricture Our treatment dissolves the stric ture at night during sleep without pain, allays all Irritation, removes all discharge, absorbs any obstruc tion In the urinary passage and re stores all parts to a natural condi tion. Syphilis We give no dangerous minerals to drive the virus to the Interior, but treat this hideous disease, eradicat ing it entlrey from the system by means of harmless blood-cleansing remedies that remove the very last taint of the disease. "Weakness" What is commonly called "weak ness" Is merely a congestion of the prostato gland, causing premature ness, loss of power, etc. Most doc tors treat this trouble by means of tonics, which relieve at the time, after which the patient Is in a worse condition than ever. Our patients use a local treatment, at home, which restores the part to a normal condition, after which for mer strength and vigor return and all organs obtain their former size and condition. We desire all men who are not up to tho standard to call, if possible, and have a free and confidential talk with us regarding their condi tion.
