Because of indolence, Bruno was discharged by the road boss Saturday night, and owing to his shift lessness he received little consideration at the hands of his countrymen. This angered him and coming to Roeeburg Monday he proceeded to "tank" up on ''booze." Buying a revolver and having another on his person, he returned to the section camp at Green's that night, presumably to attempt to exterminate the gang. No sooner did he draw one of his revolvers than several of the gang rushed upon him and attempted to dis arm him. In the scuttle that ensued, Bruno tired the revo'.ver three times, two of the bullets taking effect. One bullet struck a briar pipe in one of the front pockets of Patella's overalls, glancing downward and entering the right leg for a depth of about an inch Another bullet made a slight flesh wound on the inucr side of Scavelli's left leg. alxive and IhIow the knee. Bruno was given a preliminary hear ing before Justice Long Wednesday, was bound over to the cinuit court in the sum of f 1000, ami will await trial in jail. Pictures Tell the Truth That pictures tell the truth has been often proved beyond all reasonable doubt and clever advertisers have long since learned their wortli as a feature but the ingenious Ktea so clearly set 'orth in the Siuvenir Writing Paierabout to 1 published from the Plain ieale office clearly establishes the fact. When you photograph a tree you must first have the tree, so hence pic Hires tell the truth. The engraving is a birds-eye view ol Roselmrg, printed in colors, on the "best paper on earth" and put up in tablet form. "Boost Rosebtirg." When yon write to vonr friends in ether cities telling them of Roseburg's attractions use this paper, your friends will appreciate it and "pictures tells the truth." It roatl n i snore thaa the ordinary kind and as everyone writes letters we should all dor. little to "Boost Roeeburg," by using this paper. The extent of the ptajtCf can readily le seen.

Mowed His Brains Out With Shot Gun FOUND ON RIVER BANK Had Some Money In His Pockets Investigation and Verdict of the Coroner's Jury A mysterious case of suicide, or else a fatal accidarita) shooting, occurred in the north Roseburg suburbs Wednes day uioruing at an early hour. The victim of the suicide or accident was found on the river bank near the rail road rock cut in Northwest Roseburg by two transient travelers giving their names and addressee as Frank Mason, of St Paul, Minn, and Jas. Murphey, of Bay City, Mich. Theyf, had started down a trail to the river to eat an early morning lunch when they came upon a single barrel shot gun lying in the trail and a little further down noticed a man's body lying where it had rolled after the fatal shot. They at once notified the local officers and an investi gation was begun. Justice John T. Long summoned a coroner's jury and hurried to the sceio They were accompanied by Dr. E. V. Hoover as examining phvsician. The body was rigid, having been dead for sevi ral beat. Death had remitted from a charge of BH shot from a 12 gauge, single barrel breech-loading shot r i gun.

In vestigation and inquiry showed that he had purchased the weapon, a second hand article, at the store of the Rose burg Furniture Co., about three o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and a box of ammu nition at Beards A Culver's store a few minutes later. He first asked for a re volver, but beyond seeming anxious to I procure a weapon of tome kind gave no intimation of his personality or inten- l tious. He was thought to be of German parentage.
