War Declared on the Co

WILL FOLLOW SEARCY'S MURDER
Last Night by Fishermen From the
Luwer Klrer Non-Union Men
Will Fight.
Portland, May 22. Last night about
8 :30 o'clock K. Searcy, one of the oldest
fishermen on the Columbia, while mak
ing a drift with- Wallace Jewell, was ap
proached in the darkness by a boat filled
with men. As the strange boat drew
near the net Searcy ordered it away.
Its occupants had apparently been wait
ing for the" sound of his voice to better
get the range, for with Searcy's first
shout they began firing. Some ten
Bhots were fired, but it required but the
first volley to drop Searcy dead with a
bullet through his brain. Another shot
a moment later sent Jewell to the bot
tom of the boat with a wound in the
back of his head. The murderous crew
hearing no sound and evidently be
lieving they had killed both men, bent
to the oars and disappeared down
stream, the darkness preventing Jewell
from recognizing any of them.
The excitement among the men fish
ing between Wallace and Cottonwood
islands, over the murder; is intense.
From Ed Pierce, a seiner on Cotton
wood islands, the following description
of the tenee eiluation on the river was
obtained by a Telegram reporter:
"Ever since the 10th of March we
have been awaiting and expecting the
adoption of the tactics which resulted in
Searcy's death last night," said Mr.
Pierce. "It is too bad the murderers
struck an unarmed boat first, retreating
alter doing their workv Had they come
up the river but a few miles further and
becan their shooting they would have
met with a reception which would have
meant the naming of a second Dead
Mau'a eddy, as the rip in which nine of
their bodies were found seven years ago
after the river battle, has since been
called.
"Between Wallace and Cottonwood
islands there are between 130 and 150
men fishing, These men are Americans
' with families, and own their own gear.
They do not assimilate with the union,
simply for the reason that to them a
strike and its enforced idleness means
starving children and rotting nets, nets
the meshes of which have many of them
been knit by these very children. If
. they let the season go by there is noth
ing ahead for them but want this winter,
And say they had followed the mandate
of the union and not fished, would they
be given any credit by the men at the
mouth of the river? No, sir. They
. would be termed fools when the strike
was over.
''Therefore, we fished, and in jthe
light ot past years' experience, felt thai
we had ( taken, means to protect our
selves. Not a boat has gone but on the
river, day Or, night, bat what it 'carried
two guns, and the law is: . 'Challenge!'
No answer!' 'Fire 1' This may "seem
summary measures but the rule is per
fectly .'safe "to act on, as witness poor
Searcy's cteath last night.
."No boat with Hottest Intentions
comes sneaking up on a drilting boat
after dark. Anyone aboard on he river
during the night knew the strained sit
uation that exists and will hail before
' he is in gunshot. If he does not hail it
means mischief.
"We are going to fish, not through
any obsii nancy or enmity, but because
we propose earning a living and own the
gear to do it with', and if there is to be
killing, we hope and trust to be able to
keep the "scores 'about even. We want
no trouble ; seek none ; but if the lower
river men tabor under the idea that it is
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
c x i y
their option to stop us through picking
off an isolated boat and murdering the
crew, they are mistaken. Their , next
expedition will see the waters of the
Columbia reddened with other blood
than of the men, who, no way connected
with the union, are trying to take from
the river the fish the Almighty has
placed there, and with the sole object
of supporting themselves and those de
pendent upon them."
Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Bedley, Fresno
county, Calif.,' aa they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a eplended medicine it is :
"It is with pleasure I tell you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freelv as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.
J. W. Pierce, Republic, la., says: "I
have used One Minute Cough Cure in
my family and for myself, with result so
entirely satisfactory that I can hardly
find words to express myself as to its
merit. I will never fail to recommend
it to others, on every occasion that pre
sents itself." For sale by Snipes-Kiner-eley,

Before you . try anything else for the
blood take Simmons Liver Regulator.
It is the best blood medicine because it
is the best liver remedy. If your liver
is active and at work the blcod will be
the best. Simmons Liver Regulator is
the best spring medicine. "I tell my
friends if they want to enjoy health and
happiness they ought to take Simmons
Liver Regulator." Mrs. R. W. Smith,
Mcintosh Bluff, Ala.
It not only is so, it must be 'so, One
Minnte- Cough Cure acts quickly, and
that's what makes it go. Snipes-Kiner-sly.

A great many people are influenced by
what others do, and that is one of the
reasons why so many take' Simmons
Liver Regulator. "I was suffering
greatly from Chills and Fever and the
more quinine I took the worse I felt. I
was told of Simmons Liver Regulator,
by a friend in Arkansas, and I didn't
need to take much of it until I was en
tirely relieved." Byron Bradley, Tal
