After some of them had spent 20 years of their life in the leper station on the island of Molokai, 10 of 11 supposed leners whr. were returned here at the instance of the Territorial Executive Committee for re-examination have been free from the disease. Of these two are boys of 6 and 7 years, but the others vary In age from 27 to 79 and some of them have spent many years in the settle ment. A pathetic feature of the re-examination Is the probability that some of the older patients will petition to be re turned to the Island, as they have been shut off from the world and their friends so long that they have no place else to go. A few of the patients were sent to the settlement station before the bacteriological test for leprosy was discovered and it is believed that in some cases a natural cure has been effected. Nineteen other supposed lepers will be brought from the settlement for re examination In a short time. FOUR SHOTS GET 2 BEARS Now Seaside Nimrod Is After Cou gar That Roams Country. SEASIDE, Or., June 3. (Special.) Charley House, who owns a claim on the Necanicum 10 miles above Seaside, had an exciting time with two .black bears last Friday. The dogs started the animals in the forenoon, chased and fought them, and finally treed them about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Four shots from a .30-30 brought them down. During the past three years House has killed over 40 wildcats and nine black bears. At present he is espe cially anxious to capture a large cougar that ranges the forests from Saddlef Mountain to the Seaside House. This animal has eluded all the hunters so far. Ho is peculiarly daring and has a penchant for dog meat. John Clarke, who owns a ranch two miles this side of Push, lost two dogs caught by the beast. Last Summer Ole Anderson lost a two-year-old heifer, which he charges to the cougar. The other cattle came in greatly excited and the heifer was never seen afterward. Sam Lee, while fishing a mile above the Seaside House, has seen the animal twice. Billy Steinhauer ran across It near the forks of the Elk Creek and Push road, and it is generally regarded as a nuisance.

THIRD LAD SEIZES CRAFT Ell View Consents to Take Ride When Called "Sissy" by Friends, Who Later Lose Lives -All Members of Rowing Clnb. Fear on the part of one bov of being called "sissy" led to the death of two of his companions by drowning In the Willamette River last night about 10 o-clock in front of the boathouse of the Portland Rowing Club, at the foot of Ivon avenue. Brooklyn, of which or ganization the three youths were mem bers. Henry Jensen, aged 19 years, son of N. P. Jensen, 655 East Ninth street, an em ploye of the Inman" & Poulsen lumber mills, for which concern the boy also worked as tallyman, and Shirley Barker, aged 22 years, assistant caretaker of the club and son of Mrs. S. . E. Barker, a widow, who Uvea at 489 Union avenue, are the victims. Eli View, son of P. View. 478 Beacon street, is the youth whose' fear of being called "sissy" led him to agree to a boat ride in a frail canoe of the club, which capsized owing to the overload, resulting In the death of his associates. Canoe Built for Two. According to the story toRi by young View, the other boys invitad him "for a short ride in the canoe, a small fragile craft, built for two persons. He de murred on the ground that it was unsafe and upon their good natured taunting, he finally agreed to the rjde. In some man ner, for which he is unable to account, the canoe tipped and in a second all three were struggling in the water. "We all grabbed hold of the canoe," said View, "and knowing that both my self and Barker could swhn I called to Jensen to hold on .to the side as he could not swim. We then began calling for help. The boat was only about 50 feet from the landing but I was afraid to at tempt to swim to it. Jensen became alarmed, evidently, at the rocking of tTie boat and suddenly loosened his hold and grabbed Barker, who was nearest him. His hold on Barker was so tight that the latter was forced to release his grasp on the boat and tlgey went down, crying for help. They came up twice, struggling and crying and then drifted down stream a few feet, where they disappeared beneath the surface. "It was horrible. I feel that had I held out against them and refused to enter the canoe this would all have been averted." he concluded. Bodies Are Not Found. A younger brother of Barker was the only person near the boafhouse at the time and he ran for help. By the time other members of the club arrived from the clubhouse, which is half a block away, the bodies of both boys had dis appeared. View then swam to the shore. An effort was made last night for sev eral hours to find the bodies of the drowned boys, but without success. The news of the drowning was reported at police headquarters and Captain Moore sent an officer fo see if anything could be done by the city toward recovering the bodies, but owing to the fact that the city has no apparatus for engaging in such work, the officer returned. At the point of the tragedy the water is about 40 feet deep and It is feared that there will be considerable difficulty In recovering the bodies. When the news of her son's death was brought to Mrs. Barker, she was pros trated and it became necessary to call in neighbors to assist in quieting her. This was a similar experience at the Jensen residence, where a mother, grandmother, an aunt and two sisters were heartbroken over the death of young Jensen, who was the only boy of the family. RICH MEN "TIGHTWADS" BIG PROPERTY-OWNERS IN LOS ANGELES WON'T GIVE. Entertainment of Elks May Fail Be cause Largest Gainers Re fuse to Help. LOS ANGELES. June 3. (Special.) "Owing to the Vact that the rich busi ness men and owners of big downtown buildings who are Denefited thousands of dollars every year by the conventions that come to this city and never pay a cent towards their' entertainment, have repeated their previous conduct of fail ing to contribute, there is a big deficit in the $100,000 fund for the entertain ment of the Elks," said Motley H. Flint, chairman of the executive committee. "We have only $50,000 thus far, and unless we get $30,000 more this carnival will be a failure. The little merchant and the ordinary citizen have each done more than his share. If you want to know who the tightwads are when it comes to paying for the entertainment of visitors, just hunt up the names of the owners of the largest buildings, and the biggest businesses in the city with very few ex ceptions. That's how they get rich." A vigorous campaign Is on for the ad ditional $30,000. EASTERNERS INSPECT ROAD President McCrea and Harriman Men at Klamath Falls. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. June 3 (Spe cial.)
