Salem, Or., Feb. 16. After -a- bitter
debate, .during which tha Introducer
aaked to have his name removed from
tha title because of tha way it waa
"mutilated,'' the senate, .this afternoon,
decided upon an appropriation of $200,
000 for the Oregon exhibit at the Panama-Pacific
exposition in 1915.-
' ' The ways and means committee had
the road well greaaed, and no change
" waa made In the bill as it was reported

points, the amount of appropriation and
the. manner . of appointing the Oregon

Friends of the governor resented tha
plan of naming the governor, secretary
,.of state, etate treasurer,. president of
'the -senate and speaker of the house

G. W, Ingle, 65 years old, a farmer of
bamaacua, Or., was shot and slightly
wounded early last night by two boys,
who attempted to hold him up, while
he was driving homeward on the Pow
ell Valley road, about a mile and a half
east N of Sycamore station on the Ea
tacada line. His injuries constat of a
long scratch on tha chest where tha
bullet from a revolver flrat struckrhlm
and a bola In the arm wbera tha bullet
lodged, i A buckle which deflected the
course of tha bullet, probably saved the
man's life.
Immediately after tha shooting he
was taken'to his home, where "he was
attended by a physician from Oresham.
After striking the .chest the bullet de
flected upwards, striking tha,, collar
bona and glancing off into the arm. .

ported men : from 'the sherlf fa office
went to ' the scene. ; For several hours
last night and early this morning, man
scoured the entire-country, seeking for
the two assailants. - 1
While passing Sycamore station, 'at
7:80 o'clock, two boys one ' about IS
years, old and tha other about 14
atopped Mr. Ingle and aaked hlra to
give them a ride. He complied, . About
a mile' and a half east of thia-place,
one of the boys, who waa aeated' behind
Mr. Ingle, ordered him to , throw up
bla hands.
Mr. Ingle turned, about to find a re
volver pointed at blm .by one of the
boys, Who now, Jiad on mask. Instead
of complying, he grabbed for tha gun.
In the tussle which followed, all three
got . out of the wagon to the ground.
While trying to get tha gun away from
the boy, the weapon waa suddenly ex
ploded, tha bullet atrlklng Mr. Ingle. -
When the boya learned that "they had
shot him, they immediately started to
run and Mr. Ingle took ftr them, but
was forced to- give up owing to falnt
ness. Tha team of- horses becoming
frightened also ran away. They were
caught later, however.
When Mr. Ingle hurried to the home
of W. F. Oarretaon, nearby, and told of
