The president saved his life turn ing quickly to one side as the horse tell, and sustained severe bruises and was badly crushed. . - The president, when the. .story came out today, said; "It really didn't amount to. much and is hardly worth printing. I am not injured at all seriously." Horse Pell Violently. v The horse became frightened as it approached the ' jump. -It stag gered andfell violently.'," Roosevelt quickly realiied the situation and his oldtlme western - experience when he learned to ride on bronchos on the plaina came into play. , He turned quickly: in the K saddle 7- and wil plunged into the water. - The horse jumped to Its feet la treat ; fright It dashed away at ; breakneck speed, but Sergeant McDermott, fhe or-: dcriy for whom the president w try ing the animal, succeeded In capturtnit Jt and veturntng it to the place where the president fell. Mounted Animal Again. , 'The president mounted ) the animal again, saying hie Injuries were of no consequence . whatever. 1 He rode the unimal half an hour afterward and went through another experience . almost aa clangeious as the first.

The animal went over in such a way that it would have crushed the life out of an -unexperienced horseman. SPOOKY FLAMES I ':. ? , : CIEAKeOP'S COAT Officer P. L. Evans was a victim of the accident that spilled paint on several patrolmen's uniforms. Yesterday after noon he decided to eradicate the marks. Benzine was one : of the perquisites which he mixed with elbow oil. The ob ject of his efforts was his uniform coat, which was not . removed from his per son during the process. He had been eradicating TTor about 15 minutes when he suddenly disappeared in a -blase of pyroteebnical grandeur. Willing hands tore the naming -garment from Evans' person. - The same hands started to ex tinguish the flames, when, lof Just as the coat left the officer's body the blaxe left the coat, and, more mysteri ously still, no marks of any kind were left on the coat. . 8o far Cantaln Rot v and all the bluecoats are nonplussed.

In the Kitsap county jail at Port Orchard, Mrs. Edward King Is confined in a cell, waiting to be formally charged with tha murder of lier husband. - In a basket in the custody of the sheriff are the charred bones all that re main of the body of the dead man. The story of tne death and disposi tion of the body of King is similar to the . method of Belle Gunness. the Indiana murderess.

The vote waa SSI for prohi bition and 607 against. - Two precincts voted singly on the thirst question. AH the other contests were waged In combinations . of pre cincts. In all except St. Johns, and possibly .one of the country subdi visions, In which the returns are In complete, the wet contingent waa vic torious. In the two large subdivisions on the east' side the wets made it nearly two to-one. This result was not unexpected by the other side, k. as the voting dis tricts were carved out and shaped by the liquor Interests to anticipate and forestall possible prohibition excursions into their territory. At that time it waa not known what the drys might do, and the object of the wets was to gain advantage of priority in filing in case of conflict between the petitions. In the district composed of precincts 42, 43, 44, 46 and 47 the wet majority is 400. The Vote stood 914 to 614, Every precinct gave a wet majority. In 42 the vote was 22S to 146. in 43 It was 149 to 88, in 44 it was 6s to 48, in 4S it waa 278 to 161 and In 4? It waa 200 to si. . - .

The vote Is complete except for pre cincts 68, 69 and 72. , Precincts-100 and 101 voted together on prohibition and the combined vote gives 167 In. favor, 178 against. This territory includes Troutdale and Fair-view..- -' : Precinct voted alone and gave 61 In favor of prohibition, with 183 opposed. Precinct 67. also voting atone, polled 93 for prohibition and 127 against it Precinct 9 voted with 102, and the returns from the latter are not 'avail able. No. 99 gave 47 for : prohibition and 44 against.- Aecullar feature of the vote In St. Johns Is the repetition of the neck-and-neck race run -on the same question two years ago, so far as the two St. Johns ftrecincts are concerned. Had it been eft to St Johns alone, the wets would have four majority. They lost No. 90 by 188 to 236. and carried 91 by 174 to 117. The addition of 89, which was 178 to 160, gave the balance to the drys. CHAMBERLAIN HAS CLATSOP BY 300 , . (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Astoria, Or., June 8.

In my Judgment that a legisla ture might be expected to elect a sen ator of the other party, simply because he received .more votea than nla oppo nent I said then, aa now, v that the highest duty of a member of the legis lature is to abide by his oath of office to support the constitution, which, as far as the election of senator is con cerned.
