TARGET RANGE CHANGED
DAXGEK IKL1KVK1 KLIMIXATED
ON CLACKAMAS 1'1KL1.
Troops in 1'uturc Arc la Vractiee
Shooting Against Siiic of
ilig Hill.
When the Oregon National Guard
marksmen shot in the annual rifle
competition on the Clackamas range
last week they xised for the first time
the new range and new traget line
Tho old line of targets, to the east of
the one now in use, was abandoned
early In June because . of complaints
l'rom residents living beyond it that
lhfv were endangered by ricocheting
bullets.
At that time the Twenty-first United
States Infuntry, stationed at Van
couver, was using the range. The Third
Battalion, under Captain Ralph H. Van
reman, practiced In May, and com
plaints were made that bullets bounded
out of the range limits. Later, how
ever, when the Third Battalion under
Major Wilson Chase went out to shoot,
complaints grew so loud that Colonel
George S. Young, in command of the
regiment, ordered his troops back to
Vancouver.
A Mr. Colson said that bullets were
dropping around his house, and that
one of them went through the brim
of a hat worn by his wife as she was
picking strawberries.
Adjutant-General Finzer. of the Na
tional Guard, said yesterday that
every precaution had been taken to
make the new target range safe in all
respects. The targets have been put
up in front of the side of a high
hill, which is also timbered. Bullets
ricocheting after striking a rock or
hard ground. It is figured, can hardly
clear the hill and timber.
To make the range even more safe.
terraces are to be cut in the hillside
behind the targets this Winter.
On two days at the shoot last week
some shooting was done on the old
range. Complaints instantly followed,
and posttlve orders were given that
there be no more firing except. on the
new target line.

United States Attorney ' Warns The
Dalles Firm Xot to Interfere
. With Ked. .
"Protect Indian rights," said Attor-ney-Geieral
McReynolds in a telegram
to United States District- Attorney
Reames yesterday.
Sam Williams, an Indian, has a fish
wheel on the Columbia River, located
on Section 36, Township 2, Range 3
East, which land is state property.
According to Information received by
the Attorney-General, Seufert Broth
ers, salmon packers of The Dalles, have
prevented Williams from operating his
wheel.
Deputy District Attorney Johnson
wrote letters to D. M. Carr. superin
tendent of the North Takima Indian
reservation, asking for further facts
In the case, and to Seufert Brothers,
warning them not to interfere, if they
are interfering, with Williams in the
operation of his wheel.
Indians are given the right to fish
and hunt on their, own reservations,
and outside :of - them - have, the . same
rights as white, men -under the fish and
game laws ' -
Therefore, the District Attorney's of
fice holds that Williams has a right to
take fish from the- river, the same . as
anyone- else, and that he -should, not
be interfered w-ith in so doing.

Police Character Taken by Coleman
After Ixng Interval.
- f
"Tom Coleman arrested "me 13 years
ago, and now he's done it again," said
John Henderson, asking for a "floater,"
in Municipal Court yesterday. Hender
son, .once a .member of the: elite of
yeggdom, and partner of first-class New
York criminals, is now- an old man and
a "stew-bum," In the parlance of the
police. He confessed to being a "two:
time loser."
Detective " Maloney said there was
nothing against the man except that
he was a dangerous man to be running
loose. -
"If that is all, I will not send him
to jail merely on his record, said Judge
Stevenson-: "Are you willing to go to
work '"
- "Sure!" said Henderson, and he was
sent on his way.
SWINDLE IS SUSPECTED
REALTY FIRM OFFICIALS VX1ER
INVESTIGATION.
Members of J. H. Tipton Company
,, Accused by "Woman Making
Loan to Concern.
- Helen M. Geren, secretary, and J. H.
Tipton, president, of the J. H. Tipton
Company, real estate dealers, and R. L.
Mathison, Mrs. Geren's father, are the
subjects of a criminal investigation,
commenced -by the county grand jury
yesterday. They are accused or
swindling Mary J. Flynn In a mort
gage deal, giving her, it is alleged, a
mortgage on lot 7, block 11, Holyrood
Addition, . in exchange for $2000 cash,
when what she wanted was a mortgage
on lot 8 In the same block. Lot 8. it
is said. Is improved with a valuable
honse, while lot 7 is bare and not
worth nearly the amount loaned.
To accomplish this, District Attor
ney Evans says, an Insurance policy
covering the house on lot S was
changed to read lot 7. Mr. Evans de
clares that he has the original policy
Issued to Mathison and the copies kept
by the insurance company for its rec
ords and that they differ, as charged.
Other evidence is an affidavit alleged
to have been made by Mrs. Geren that
everything had been paid and that no
labor or material liens could accrue
against the house. " In this affidavit.
the original of which the District At
torney says Is in his possession, the
house la spoken of as being on lot 7.
Other documentary evidence is the ap
plication for a loan filed with a local
broker, in which lots 4 . and 8 are
spoken of, but no mertion is made of
lot 7.
The defendants, Mr. Evans says, con
tend that it was by mistake of Beach,
Simon & Nelson, Mrs. Flynn's attorneys,
that lot 7 was Inserted in the mort
gage instead of lot 8. J. V. Beach,
who is now at Turner. Or., has been
subpenaed to appear before the grand
Jury. - '
