House Occupied by Traveling
Elders at Eugene Torn
by Explosion.
DOZEN LIVES ENDANGERED
Woman Prostrated by Shock, He
quiring Hours to Resuscitate Her.
Notice Served on Members Re
ligious Sect to Leave Town.
EUGENE. Or.. June 18. (Special.)
Dynamite wrecked the front porch of
a small residence at the corner of First
and Washington streets, this city, at
an early hour this morning, breaking the
front windows of the building and en
dangering the 'lives of a dozen persons.
Motive for the outrage Is attributed to
en effort to Intimidate two traveling
Mormon elders, C. I Dunford and C. A.
Williams, who occupied the residence.
So far no arrests have been made, but
the police believe they have an Important
clew.
Posted on the porch was the following'
notice:
This Ik a warnlnB to your tribe. Tou have
tormented the public enough. Move on. The
next shot will do more. We mean the Mor
mon tribe.
Other persons occupying the building
besides the Mormon elders were W. F.
Buchanan and "his five children and his
sister. Mrs. E. E. Howell and her three
children. Mrs. Howell was prostrated by
the shock and did jiot regain conscious
ness for several hours after the explosion.
Stone Strikes Head of Bed.
Buchanan and one of his children were
asleep In the basement of the house.
That they were not killed or severely
Injured is remarkable, as a huge rock,
hurled from the basement of the porch
by the explosion struck the head of the
Iron bed in which father and child were
Bleeping.
The explosion, which occurred at 1:40
A. M., demolished the front steps of the
residence and broke all the glass In the
windows in the front of the house. Arti
cles were jarred from shelves Inside the
house. A large hole was blown in the
ground in front of the house.
Noise of the explosion was heard for
blocks, and soon a crowd of spectators
was gathered on the scene. The police
Immediately began a search of the town
for suspects, but so far no arrests have
been made. The officers claim to have
an Important clew.
Members of Household Well Liked.
Buchanan Is a laborer In the Skinner's
butte stone quarry and Is well liked by
men who know him. Mrs. Howell knows
of no one'ywho bears the least ill-will
toward any 'member of the family. The
Mormon elderts, board and room at the
Buchanan homy where they have recent
ly been holding rneetlngs. They have also
held street meetings.
From the position of the charge, it
would seem that the Intention . was to
frighten the people, rather than to kill
anyone, for If the latter had been the
Intention the explosive would have been
put next the house, instead of six or
eijrht feet from it. Hurry, however,
might have caused the placing of the
charge In front of the porch.

Former Partner.
IDAHO WAR RAGES HOTLY

cently appointed to the office of United
States Attorney for Idaho, were made
today by Attorney John O. Bender, law
partner of Mr. Lingenfelter at the time the
action against Kettenbach and Kester
was instituted. The utterance of these
charges marks the latest development in
the Republican war of factions here.
Mr. Bender states positively that
the firm of Bender & Lingenfelter was
retained by the land-fraud defendants,
and that fees amounting to $200, for
services rendered, were collected by
Mr. Lingenfelter. Mr. Bender further
states that an affidavit secured by

fiant did not believe Kester and Ketten
bach implicated in the alleged conspiracy
to defraud her of a timber claim located

cured from Mrs. Harris because during
the progress of the trial before the local
Land Office he was Informed by Mr. Lin
genfelter the firm had been retained in the
Kester and Kettenbach cases, and that
he would not consent to engaging In the
defense of those men unless it could be
shown they were not Identified with the
alleged conspiracy against his client.
Because of the nature of the affidavit, it
was deemed of particular value in the
defense of Kester and Kettenbach.

It is further stated by Mr. Bender
that Lingenfelter approached him yes
terday and asked him to sign an affi
davit to the effect that the $200 at

GAS ON THE STOMACH
OFTEN THE CAUSE OF GREAT
BODILY DISTRESS.
It Indloartea a Feebla Stomach In
Which the Food Lies Undigested
nd Shows Need of Tonic
Treatment.
When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the.
walls of the stomach, and cause inter
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other ill effects. -They
are absorbed by the blood and corrupt it
and so cause aches in remote parts of
the body and the formation of unhealthy
tissue everywhere. General bodily
weakness and loss of weight result. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed and
discomforts such as dizziness, hot flashes,
sleeplessness irritableness and despond
ency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs a tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment. The tonio used
ought to be one that will agree with the
most delicate stomach.
Mrs. Amelia Owinn, a nurse by occu
pation, lives at 8139 Vernon avenue,
Chicago, 111. She said recently:
""When I was living in Terre Haute,
Ind., some years ago, I was in bad
health for some months and did not
know what ailed me, only that I did not
feel like myself. My doctor said I was
suffering with indigestion but he did
not cure me.
"I liad severe pains in the stomach
and could not digest any solid food. I
had to diet all of the time and had so
much gas on the stomach that it seemed
at times as though my breath was leav
ing me. I was greatly run down in
health and lost in weight.
"I decided one day to drop the doctor's
medicine and take Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. The first few boxes helped me
and I took them until cured. I gained
in weight, my digestion became good
and I have been in splendid health since.
I am glad to recommend Dr. Williams
Pink Pills as they are worth their
weight in gold."
The remedy which gave Mrs. Gwinn
complete health can be obtained at any
drug store or direct from the Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.,
at 60 cents per box ; six boxes for $2.60.

DATA FDR RATE CHANGES
OREGON RAILROAD COMMISSION
BACK FROM OLYMPIA.
Result of Investigation Will Mean
Lower Freight Rates in Oregon
or Higher Railroad Taxes.
SALEM, Or.. June 18. (Special.) On
Its visit to Olympia, yesterday, the
Oregon Railroad Commission laid the
foundation for a movement which should
result either In lower freight rates or in
higher railroad taxes. On their return
today the Commissioners said that the
purpose of their visit was to confer with
the Washington Commission regarding
the matter of ascertaining values of
railroad property.
This is a work the Oregon Commission
must undertake, for In fixing rates the
value of the railroad property must be
taken Into consideration. The Wash
ington Commission has gone to great ex
pense in determining the cost and value
of railroads in that state and has Just
completed the work. At Olympia the
Oregon Commissioners were given every
opportunity to learn how the work was
done in Washington and what the fig
ures show. The Oregon Commission will
be able to profit by the experience of the
Washington Commission.
On their return today they would not
say what course they will pursue, but
it Is evidently their intention to adopt
some plan which will place the Commis
sion in possession of facts showing the
Cost and present actual value of tangible
railroad property. When this has been
ascertained. It will form a good basis for
fixing rates and assessment valuations.
If valuations should be found high enough
to warrant high rates, they will also war
rant high assessments. The people of
the state are in a fair way to profit by
the investigation either through revised
rates or revised assessments.
HURLS BABE TO SAFETY
Woman Cut Down by Train, Saves
Her Little Child.
TACOMA. Wash.. June 18. (Special.)
Tearing down the curved grade on
the east side of the Puyallup river
bridge early this morning, the last out
bound Interurban train from Tacoma to
Seattle passed over the prostrate form
of Mrs. George Sloan, an Indian woman
about 30 years old, who lay asleep on
the track with' her five months' old
baby, by her side.
Both of the woman's legs were sev
ered near the hips, but the baby was
not bruised or injured. It Is believed
the babe will die from exposure. Mrs.
Sloan was hastened to the hospital, dy
ing a few hours later from the shock
and loss of blood.
As the train bore down upon the wo
man, she was roused from the deep
fatigue and raising herself to a sitting
posture, frantically grabbed the sleep
ing baby and tossed it from the rails.
Barely had the tiny bundle been hurled
away than the train passed over the
woman's limbs and with a shriek she
fell back unconscious.
BANKERS MEET AT YAKIMA
Washington Association Convenes in
Thirteenth Annual Session.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. June 18.
(Special.) The Washington State. Bank
ers' Association met here this morning In
13th annual convention. President W. D.
Vincent, of Spokane, presiding. One
hundred and fifty delegates are In at
tendance. Mayor H. H. Lombard, of
North' Yakima, welcomed the delegates
to the city.
President Vincent, in his address, spoke
of the excellent, manner in which the
banks of the state met the crisis last
Fall and the resultant efforts on the part
of legislators to meet the situation by
providing an increase of the currency.
He regarded most of these efforts as old
"cure-alls" revived. He expressed the
opinion that a central bank without Gov
ernment ownership, but with ' Govern
ment control, was the only practical cure
for currency troubles, as proved by the
experience of other nations.
