The room In which the man had bar ricaded himself was bloody, showing that he had been hit before he leaped from the window. Harry Garrett, who was held captive br the Finn for 24 hours, was appar ently little affected by his experience. At first he was extremely nervous, for the Finn kept him covered with the a-un. In fact, as long as daylight lasted the fugitive kept the menacing muz sle of the pistol pointed In the boy's direction. . After dark, the Finn declined to al low t lamp to be lighted. The man lav on the floor beside the boy. He held his pistol In his hand. Several times during the night he dozed, and the boy. alert and watchful, stirred quietly In an attempt to slip away.

Garrett slowly and carefully crept away from the sleeping man. and. crawling to the window, pushed it up. x wire screen confronted him, but gathering himself he sprang for it and i struck the ground, where he was .quickly hustled to safety by his wait ing relatives and friends. Then fol lowed the shooting of the Finn. Night Watchman Fleming, shot by the Finn, Is alive In a Boise hospital. ASSEMBLY PLAN ADOPTED Grants Pass Easiness Men Uftite In Nomination for Mayor.

ENRAGED, FLAYS ATTORNEY Dramatic Scene Enacted In Court at Pendleton In Case Which May Go to Jury Today Tells Tale of Quarrel. . PENDLETON, Or.,' Nov. 19. (Spe cial.) Losing his temper and telling the District Attorney that he was "too foxv," Mike Ryan, charged with the. mifrder of Edward Dixon, spoiled the effect of the otherwise strong testi mony in his own behalf today. He dramatically narrated the tragedy in Which he played such a prominent part and told a straightforward story of the occurrences of the fatal night. The feature of his . testimony was his declaration that Dixon assailed him, grabbed his gun, and, though de claring Dixon to be a larger and heavier man, insisted that he wrenched the gun from his assailant's hand, threw the latter to the ground . and fired. Ryan Denies Going for Gun. Ryan also insisted that he did not go to his house after his gun to in tercept Shubert, when he saw the lat ter coming up the road, but otherwise his testimony did not differ a great deal from that of the state's chief wit ness. . He said he had been engaged Jn poisoning and trapping squirrels dur ing the day and that he had gone to the house about 3:30 o'clock to get his gutt to shoot coyotes which had been carrying off the trapped squirrels and likewise the traps. When he met Shubert In the road, he said he was on his way from his cabin to the grain field, where he was killing squirrels, with a fresh supply of poisoned wheat. He Insisted that the controversy did not start be cause he had forbidden Shubert the use of the lane, but because the lat ter's horses had shied at him as he stood inside the fence and Shubert had demanded to know if he was try ing to scare his horses. Controversy Starts With Nothing. The verbal controversy, which re sulted in Shubert leaving his team tied to the fence and going on home afoot after Dixon, then ensued. It was on cross-examination that Ryan allowed his temper to get the better of him and at times it appeared as though he would rush upon Dis trict Attorney Phelps, who is not very great in stature. He was cross-examined for more than three hours, and during the greater part of. that time he was beside himself with rage. From present Indications the de fense will close tomorrow forenoon, and the fate of the accused man may be in the hands of the Jury before night. - .

In the morning the itching had got to my chest and during that dav it spread all over my bodv.

I put it on from my head down to my feet and -then went to bed. On the-first of April I felt like a new man. The itching was almost gone.
