(Continued on page J) WK)D RE-ELECTED LOS ANGELES. March 21. Major General George H. Wood of Ohio, was re-elected president of the board of managers of the Na tional Homes for Disabled Veter ans at a meeting which began to day at the institution at Sawtelle, near here. Burgee, one of the Pendleton men killed in the Claremont tav ern hold-up. was a member of the state highway commission and operated In the sheep business on a large scale in Umatilla county. Peringer was a weaihy Pendleton wheat grower. They were at the tavern with a party of trlenda when the shooting occurred. Ogle Siena Con f emtio Ogle is believed to have been the bandit who killed Burgess and Peringer. He confessed this lat er in a signed statement at the state prison. Witnesses of the shooting and Portland officers, however, scouted ths confession and have insisted that David Smith, another of the trio, fired the fatal shots. The third rob ber was Walter Banaster. All pleaded guilty to perpetrating a hold-up. The capital punishment law was not in effect at the time and the three were sentenced to life imprisonment. The crime aroused public sentiment to the pitch that capital punishment was shortly afterward reestablished I the Oregon laws. Previons Attempt Made Ogle was considered a desper ate man and wai accepted by the other inmates of the state prison as the "killer" of the bandit trio. The one shot front Davidson's gun that ended his life yeaterday entered the left breast and pass ed through his body. Ogle was a denlseq of the 'bull pen- along with half a dosen oth er desperate men. He was placed in this confinement more than a year ago when an attempt on his part to escape had been f rustrat ed. Ogle had cleveHv minsled with a crew of convicts who were going cutilde the prison to work under gun guards. He was about to be passed through the gate when he was dettcted by Captain E. A. Slover, a guard, formerly Portland chief of police. In the "bull pr." he has been de tected in other apparent attempts to gain his freedom. 4 Convict Closely Don fined Adjacent to the "bull pen pro per several close cells where the prisoners are kept continually ex cept for an hour each dally for exercise. 'Only one man is al lowed out for exercise at a time. ' Ogle's turn for exercise was at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Da vidson had been on his shift about an hour. As Ogle was 'pacing around tha northeast comer of a beaten patch around the enclos ure, Davidson says he hurled a rock. The other prisoners, who (Continued on page 2) INDICTMENTS NUJIEROrs OKMULGEE.

The petition for a rechristenlng was signed by 24 citizens, all that the federal blank gave room for on the one sheet. Ordinarily lt would be enough to establish a postoffice anywhere. . But when it was found that the patrons of the two rural routes through West Salem, preferred to have their mait handled directly through the larger office of Salem and since there was small probability of the rural routes being changed to ra diate from the West Salem office, a separate, fourth-class postoffice was not looked upon favorably.

Altogether, It is un derstood that . the sentiment against . tha establishment of a separate office is quite strong.
