Alleged Cattle Hustlers Attack Him
for Filing Charges Against Them,
After Escaping From Custody
of Officers at Oroflno.
LEWI9TON. Idaho. Aug. S. (Spe
cial.) A special from Oroflno. Idaho,
says:
"In a runnlngr fight with four sus
pected eattla thieves near this place
today George Moore, one of the alleged
outlaws, was killed and one of hlfl com
panions wounded by the sons of Dan
' Carr. a prominent cltlien of this coun
ty, who has taken an active part In
aiding the authorities In putting down
cattle-rustling.
The battle followed an attempt on
the part of the outlaws to murder Carr,
who was shot down In the dooryard
of his own home and seriously, if not
fatally, wounded. Carr and Ills sons
were expecting trouble with the gang,
' and were armed for drfenae. The
young men returned the Are, shooting
Moore dead, and pursued the rustlers
for some distance.
Sheriff Harry Lyndon has organized
.. four posses and started in .pursuit of
the outlaws. As the latter are well
armed and desperate, it is probable
that more blood will be shed before
they are captured.
The men for whom the poses are
searching are W. T. Reid. C. A. Rice
- and A. J. Sloan. Carr filed a complaint
against these three men and Moore last
week, charging them with cattle-stealing,
and warrants were issued. Reld
and Rice were arrested and brought
to Oroflno for preliminary examination
today, In charge of Constable Miles
Cochran.
After their arrival here Rcld, on
some pretext. Induced Cochran to take
him and Rice to the livery stable,
where the horses belonging to the
party were. Awaiting a favorable op
portunity, Reld dashed Into the office
of the stable and seizing a Winchester
rifle, covered Cochran with the weapon
while Rice saddled two horses. Then
mounting, the outlaws rode rapidly
away.
In the outskirts of the town they
were Joined by Sloan and Moore, and
all four, armed with rifles, rode to
Carr's place, where they opened fire
on Carr, who was at work near the
house. Carr was shot once through the
body and twice through the legs. The
Carr boys are certain that one of the
outlaws who escaped was wounded la

Hood River Will Have More Than
Double the Yield of a Year Ago.
Abundant Harvest In the
Grand Ronde.
Oregon will have over 1000 cars of fine
apples to ship this year, as compared with
about 600 cars last year. Crop prospects
on the whole are favorable, though some
sections of the state are doing better than
others. Hood River will have its ban
ner crop, though it was feared earlier
In the season that some damage had been
done. The shipments from Hood River
Valley will be between J0 and 600 cars
against 200 cars In 1907. The Grande
Ronde Valley Is preparing to send out
300 cars, double the: number shipped last
year, while Medford growers expect to
dispatch about 200 cars, .as they did last
season. In the other apple sections of the
state the conditions are reported as good
or a little better than they were last
season, though it Is known that some
varieties,' Baldwins especially, will run
lighter than last year In the Willamette
Valley, and it is also said the valley
Newtowns and Spitzenbergs will not pro
duce the crop they did a year ago. Prices
that will be realized on shipping stock
will be governed by conditions in the
Eastern states, where the yields are re
ported to be comparatively light.
HOOD RIVER OUTPUT DOUBLED
Apple Shipments Estimated at 4 00
to 500 Cars.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 3. (Special.)
Apple men who are gathering Informa
tion In regard to crop conditions in ad
vance of the shipping season state that
late reports give evidence of high prices
for fancy Western apples again this year.
It is stated that so far New Tork and
Missouri, which are big factors in the
apple market, only show indications of
an average crop, while that of Ohio, In
diana and Illinois Is almost a failure. At
Grand Junction, Colo., which Is one of
the greatest competitors of coast box
apples in the West, the falling off in Uie
amount of fruit snipped this year wiil.
according to a report received from John
F. Moore, manager of the Fruit Growers'
Association there, amount to 2000 cars.
The Grand Junction district includes
Fruita, Clifton, Palisades and Grand
Junction. The normal shipment from
there Is from 2500 to 3000 cars, but It is
stated by Mr. Moore that it will be less
than 500 this year. Last year S00 cars
were shipped from the district.
At Yakima. Wenatchee and other apple
growing centers in Washington the crop
Is stated to be 10 per cent heavier than
that of 1907. Reports received from Ore
gon indicate good crops In some sections
and light ones In others. In the Eastern
part of the state the recent hot weather
and apple drop early in the season are
reported to have done considerable dam
age. News from Medford conveys the
Information that apples there will be but
60 per cent of a crop. It is stated, how
ever, that the fruit is of the finest quality
ever known In that section.
At Hood River it was feared that the
hot weather would damage the crop, but
so far none has been reported. The out
put of fruit here this year will be double
the amount of that shipped last season,
owing to a full crop In old orchards and
the fact that many new ones will come
into bearing. The shipment is expected
to be between 400 and 600 cars, as against
200 cars last year. In quality the crop
is said to show indications of being ully
as good as that of last year. If not bet
ter. Blight is a disease that is practically
unknown In the Hood River district.
It Is said that August Is the hardest
month on Eastern apple crops and that
reports of a shortage there now Indicate
that it will be still greater. It Is also
stated that all apple-growing sections on
the Coast will this year devote more at
tention to packing and grading and that
the finest shipments of apples ever sent
out of the Northwest will undoubtedly be
sent to Eastern markets this year.'
GOOD CROP IX.UMPQUA VALLEY
Fifteen Carloads of Shipping Applea
Estimated by Growers.
ROSEBURG, Or.. Aug. 3. (Special.)
Fruitgrowers of the Umpqua Valley have
good reason to be pleased with the out
look for this season's crops. Although
somewhat rainy during the early part of
the season, all crops are now in a flour
ishing condition and it Is safe to say that
more money will be received by half by
Douglas County fruitgrowers than was
ever received for any previous crop.
Owing to the faithful work of County
Fruit Inspector Riddle. In causing the re
moval of all old and diseased orchards
throughout the county, the quality of the
fruit will be far better than ever be
fore; in fact it Is the boast of the fruit
growers here that Douglas County fruit
will compare this year in every particu
lar with the celebrated Hood River fruit.
Blight has not appeared in any section
of the county this season.
The prune crop throughout the county
will be about the same as regards quan
tity, but the quality will be far superior"
to that of last year. of peaches there
will be about three-fourths of a crop,
owing to a great extent to the cold and
rainy weather early In the season. Of
pears, there will be a full crop. Potatoes
and melons are also up to the average
and there will be a full crop of both.
The big crop of the season, however,
will be the apples, there being a large
acreage of the finest and best marketable
variety that will bear this year for the
first time, besides which all the. old or
chards are In fine shape and will all
yield heavy crops. Last season. Rose
burg fruitgrowers shipped nine carloads
of apples, while this year a conservative
estimate places the number of carloads
that will be shipped at least 16.
MEDFORD SHIPMENTS AVERAGE
Apple Movement Will Not Be Larger
Than Last Year.
MEDFORD. Or.. Aug. 3. (Special.)
About 200 cars of apples were shipped
from the station at Medford last year
and it is not believed that the number of
cars to be sent out this year will be
greater, notwithstanding the fact that a
large acreage has come into bearing. It
will be recalled that a frost late in May
damaged the orchards to some extent, so
that the extra acreage will just about
of'set the loss from frost.
The pear crop, however, will not hold
Its own In the same manner, for It Is
now said the crop will not be 75 per cent
of what It was last year and some even
claim that it will be about 60 per cent of
last year's yield. Owing to the fact that
(the frost was spotted, some of the or
chardists wnl have quite as good a crop
as last year, while others will have few
for shipment.
) Pear shipments from Medford last year
I were 110 cars.
The quality of apples and pears will be
! as good -this year as heretofore. Fruit
Commissioner Taylor states that "blight"
in orchards Is a thing of the past and
there are no orchards in this valley at
present showing damage from this cause.
In one or two orchards east of Medford,
' blight made its appearance six weeks
ago. but with modern methods of exter
i mi,;An i, n.m'oii to he of short dura
tion and the damage was consequently
slight.
MARION COUNTY'S LARGE CROP
All the Leading Apple Orchards In ,
Promising Condition. , j
SALEM. Or.. Aug. 3. (Special.) "The
I only trouDie wiin me apio
I the Willamette Valley is the difficulty of j
marketing to advantage," said Fruit In
spector E. C. Armstrong today. He con
tinued: The apple Dusiness is wraiu- .
thine like the cherry business. The quan- I
tity grown is comparatively small, and no
adequate facilities are at hand for mar
keting them. In the cherry business we
bto at the mercy of the local buyers
for this reason, and the apple Industry
may be said to be in much the same con
dition. "The apple crop this year will be larger
than ever before, but It is Impossible
to say how many cars there will be to
ship outside. Last year the crop was
very light and the outside shipments
amounted to comparatively nothing."
Several of the large orchardists in this
vicinity are looking forward to very large
yields this season. Ths Wallace or
chards, for example, embracing about 46
acres of apples, are especially promising.
The same may be said of the Vercler
and other large orchards.
ir
300 CARS IN GRAND RONDE
Minimum Estimate of Season's Ship
ments of Apples.
LA GRANDE. Or.. Aug. 3. (Special.)
The most conservative and in fact the
lowest estimate put on the apple crop of
the Grand Ronde Valley for the coming
season is 300 carloads of a fmilt that has
suffered but little with blight. Early In
the season growers were alarmed at fre
quent but light frosts, and then again by
the apparent spread of the dreaded apple
disease. But through individual atten
tion to the matter at the opportune mo
ment, and by reason of the careful work
done by Fruit Inspector C. D. Huffman,
the fruit stands today as prolific and of
as high a grade as has ever been pro
duced here. The 300-car shipment that
is expected for the coming year is about
double what was produced last year,
though the year before that was close to
the mark set for this year. The qual
ity Is expected to be on a par with other
years.
DALLES APPLE CROP LARGE
Shipments Will Be Five Per Cent
Heavier Than. Last Year.
THE DALLES. Or.. Aug. . (Special.)
About 25 carloads of apples were
shipped from this section last season and
It is anticipated that about 6 per cent
more will go out the coming season. The
crop Is not only heavier this year, but
was never In such good condition. So
far there is an absolute absence of
blight, worms or pests of any kind.
The leading fruitmen say that all fruit
crops in this section this year are larger
than ever before.

own life with a revplver late Sunday
night. The scene of the attempted sui
cide is about seven miles east of Salem,
on the Silverton Road. Haggerty. and
his wife had gone to church, leaving Mil
ler alone with the girl, and two small
children. Miller asked Miss Haggerty to
accompany him to church, but this she
refused to do as he had already asked
her to marry him several times, and she
did not desire to encourage his atten
tions. Miller has no money and has
been in poor health for some time, and
for these reasons the girl refused to con
sider his proposal.
Soon after his talk with the girl Miller
went upstairs to his room,, and a few
minutes later Miss Haggerty heard a
revolver shot. Fearing that Miller might
try to take her life as well as his own,
she ran out of the house and met her
parents coming home' from church." Hag
gerty was the first person to enter the
room. Miller had fired only one shot.
The bullet entered his left breast struck
a rib and glanced downward and out
ward, coming out of liis side about eight
Inches from where It had entered. The
weapon was a 38-caIlber revolver.
Dr. G. V. Ellis, of Salem, was sum
moned and dressed the wound, which
probably will not be fatal. Haggerty
was removed to the Willamette Sanlto
rium In this city. If blood poisoning does

OREGON CITY, Or., Aug. 3. (Spe
cial.) Nels Boodeen, a farmer residing
one mile north of Boring, on the
Sprlntrwater division of the Portland
Railway. LlKht & Power Company,
killed himself at 4 o'clock this after
noon by exploding dynamite.
Boodeen was about 45 years of age.
and was a. man who held little or no
Intercourse with his neighbors. He
was a widower and lived with his
daughter, but his recent eccentricity
raused trouble between them, and last
Saturday Bhe announced her Intention
of coming to Oregon City and "f""
lng a lawyer, with the object of divid
ing their property and leaving her
father, with whom she had a great
deal of trouble.
Daughter Hears Explosion.
This afternoon Miss Boodeen, who Is
about 20 years of age. heard a terrific
explosion near the house and hastened
to the home of Mr. Smith, who lives a.
quarter of a mile distant, and told
Smith that she believed her father had
killed himself. An Investigation proved
this only too true.
While his crazy deed was not wit
nessed, it is evident Boodeen obtained
a quantity of dynamite and Mew him
self up behind his own barn.
Boodeen settled at Boring about three
years ago. Last Summer he went to
Montana and brought Mrs. Mary Patrick
to Portland, with the avowed Intention
of marrying her. She had about JfiO,
which she entrusted to her Intended
husband, but he cashed the. draft and
refused to give her the money or to
have anything more to do witlh her,
and she instituted proceedings against
him.
Believed to Have Been Insane.
In order to evade the payment of the
Judgment that Mrs. Patrick obtained,
Boodeen transferred his property to his
daughter, and Mrs. Patrick brought
suit to have the pretended sale set
aside on the ground of fraud, but
Boodeen finally paid the Judgment and
costs in the case and was given a quit
claim deed to his own property. It Is
believed that he was of unsound mind.

Nature and a woman's work com
bined have produced. the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our "Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
Ehysicians who have spent years in
le study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 615 N.G St,
Louisiana, Mo., writes :
"Complete 'restoration to health
means so mneh to me that for the) sake
of other suffering: women I am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years I had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During; that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tong
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two yeftrt
ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice,
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women."
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
It will do for other suffering women.
