ANNAND BREAKS LAW TO MAKE

' When It comes to deciding a question

' rly takes a shotgun, goes out to the
neighborhood In question and fires the
gun a many times aa he can in half
, an hour, '
. That Is what he did yesterday in an
effort to find out whether the residents
in the neighborhood of the old.-Xwl
'and Clark exposition grounds would
.hava objection to rals against the
.rnsslng of an ordinance - granting the
Multnomah iRod and Gun club permls
'elon to holf match shoots at the foot

tion grounds. ' 5- k.
:j Annand did not wait to get permis
sion from the police authorities. That
would hav stopped th "kicks" of th
'it" ' , i , iii' i
residents. He wanted to find out Just
how many persons would object to the
noise. Arier it waa an over he caned
up the police station and told the police
what he had done. Then he asked if
tne ponce naa received any protests.
Not a "kick!" Even the shotgun didn't
kick and the councilman is more than
half disposed to vote for the ordinance.
An interesting point in connection
with the request of the gun club for ant
oruinance is tne xact mat tne city coun
cil pasaed an ordinance to the Club of
Portland Trapshooters to hold matches
on th White House road on the west
bsnk of the Willamette river near the
half way house, March IB. 1899. The
only difference between the old ordi
nance and the new one Is that the old
one provides a license fee of $10 where
as the one up for consideration provides
no license :

Yesterday morning Dr. King was

in an alarming condition due to blood

Dr. King immediately notified the

of his suspicion that her condition had

This suspicion was later verified by a
