Scott, a recent arrival in Central Oregon was picked up by Frank Stangland in a dazed condition on the street last Sat urday night and removed to the hotel where he was taken care of. It was found that he was suffer ing from heart trouble. He was first discovered sitting on the sidewalk across the street from the Red Cross drug store, and to all appearances, especially the muBsed condition of his clothes, had sat down at this un usual place to work off the ef fects of too much "booze." Mar shal Stangland was notified and took charge of him. Mr. Scott when he first came to Central Oregon, Btopped at Madras for a couple of weeks, having lived in the Harry Keys .cottage. He went from here with his family to Redmond and purchased some land. Last Sat urday morning he returned here alone and cashed postofilce money orders to the value of $500 and this amount was found on him when he was taken care of by the marshal. It was reported that lie had received $2000 through the postofiice but this wa.i denied by Postmaster Davis. He stated Sunday morning that he was subject to fainting spells caused by his heart and when attacked by this distressing mal ady was unable to control him self and would fall to the ground. He was given his money Sunday and the same evening returned on the train to his family.

Both plays are laughable farces of one act duration, and the characters are all local people, "The plot in "A Considerable Courtship" has its starting place at a boarding house and the com plications that weave themselves cleverly into the play are indeed ludicrous. xne Dressing uown," re quires six people and the situa tions are equally as laughable as the first play.

CITY MARSHAL IS VICTIM OF ACCIDENT Whllo Picking Up Wood Pistol Drops f From Holster end Bullet Plows Into His Leg While picking up wood to build a fire in the jail to keep the man accused of stabbing Tommy Mc Cormack warm, City Marshal Frank Stangland met with a pe culiar accident last Sunday that will keep him confined td the hospital for at least three weeks. His pistol dropped from the holster to the ground and dis charged, the bullet striking Mr. Stangland in the right leg just above the ankle. He walked un assisted to his room, only a short distance away, where his wound was dressed by Dr. Haile. The bullet was one of the soft nosed kind, and after striking the bone, broke in several pieces, plowing its way into the flesh in all directions. About half of the bullet was removed, the balance being left in his leg until he could be placed under the X-Ray where the pieces could be easily located. Dr. Haile accompanied the patient to The Dalles, and on his return last night said the op eration was entirely successful, several small pieces of the bullet being removed. It will be at least three weeks yet before he is able to leave the hospital.
