GETS FATAL WOUND GLOVE AND MERCHANDISE ORDERS SOLD Store Open Evenings All This Week CHRISTMAS CARDS AND 1906 CALENDARS The Meier Frank Store's Christmas Stocks Complete Robert Rommel, Jr., Victim of Accident In Blind. 14 DIES ATGOOD SAMARITAN Shotgun Discharged by Striking Ig Fircs'.Charge Through Body of Young Man, Who Dies' in a Few Hours. Robert Rommel, Jr.. ageJ 22 years, ron of Robert Rommel, proprietor of a fuel and feed store at 575 Vancouver avenue, met with a fatal accident early j-esterday morning while sunning: on Sauvics Island, fiiom the effects of which he expired at 6:50 last evening. It appears Ifcat Saturday afternoon young Rommel, accompanied by his father and R. P. Knight, a local grain broker, went down to Smith's Landing on the hunting boat America for a Jay's duck shooting- and at daybreak proceeded to set their decoys and ar range for the sport. The elder Rom mel and Knight Jointly occupied one blind, while the young man was alone in another a short distance away. About 7:45 A. M. a muffled sound at tracted the attention of Knight, caus ing him to think that somebody had 'discharged a. defective shell. This noise was accompanied a few moments later by an outcry from young Rom mel, who exclaimed that he was shot. The two men hurried to his asslst nnce and found him stretched out on the bottom of the blind with the blood pouring from a ghastly wound in his right side, and .suffering the most In tense agony. Investigation developed that the ilarlln repeating shotgun used by young lommel had slipped from a log causing the weapon to discharge, the muzzle resting against the abdo men, the full charge of No. 6 shot passed directly through the young man's body, severing several of the intestines, and causing them to pro trude. Vr,ih the aid of two other Tiunters. -ne injured man was taken across the lake in a rowboat and Knight, although badly handicapped with a pair of heavy rubber boots, ran all the way to a farmer's house, two miles distant, and procured a wagon, in which Rommel was carried to the steamer landing, on of the men having in the meantime gone on ahead and held the boat un til the party arrived. Reaching Portland at 11:30 A. M.. young Rommel was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital and Dr. Rockey summoned. Anesthetics were adminis tered and everything possible done to relieve his sufferings, but there was no liope for recovery. Deceased Is survived by his father and mother, residing at 244 Sellwood street, an older brother, who is a clerk in the postofflce and who lives at 3SS Stanton street, and a married sister, all of whom were present when he passed away.

"The True Citizen" was the subject of Rti Interesting and Instructive lecture de livered by G. A. Gearhart, of Chicago, at the Y. M. C. A., yesterday afternoon. Mr. Gearhart is a lecturer of reputation and he did not disappoint the large audience which filled the association hall. He spoke of the detrimental effects on true manhood and citizenship of the greed for money. He did not believe that a business man who. by greater capital would drive a competitor out of business by selling his goods at bankrupt prices, was a true citizen. He said he did not believe In Sunday excursions as the Sab bath was. in his opinion, for rest, reli gious observance and a day for a man to ppend with his family. TOTTER' IN SERVICE.
