A wild outburst of cheering and
shouting greeted the flash that
told of Washington's victory oyer

Salem Citizens and Horse.
men Protest Action of
Fair Board
f ollowing a conference with a
delegation" of Salem citizens here
yesterday, Governor Pierce said
he would suggest to Mrs. ' Ella
Schultz Wilson, secretary of the
state fair board, that she suspend
for a period; of 30 days an order
of the fair board closing the race
stables on October 15..
Should the stables be closed to
cades have made Salem their win
ter training headquarters Salem
would lose several families and
an aggregate of about 50 people.
and it would be necessary for the
horse owners to find headquarters
in California or Canada. When
word went out that the Salem
stables were to be closed Calif or
nla and Canadian towns ; began
negotiations to get the horses. A
letter was read at the conference
from the manager of Pie-Van'iv
reir"B.-tr.,xpOTftidn-iaInXTa
couver would be glad to give head
quarters to the horsemen. A pro
test at the board's action from the
horse owners was presented to the
governor.
Governor ; Pierce told the dele
gation that his sympathy In the
matter was with the horsemen anj
that there did not appear to be
much; reason for shutting them
out. --. .'j ; -
The board has complained that
some of the caretakers of the hors
es are not desirable citizens! One,
a foreigner, was reported : to be
living with a woman not his wife
Other complaints were that some
failed to pay their rent, allowed
their horses to feed on the lawn at
the fair grounds, and allowed -the
water pipes to freeze in the winter
It was pointed out to the gov
ernor that any of these objec
tiona can be met by police regula
tlon. Mayor John B. Giesy said
no complaints had ever reached
the city officials, and that the city
would gladly cooperate In keep
ing order on the fair grounds.
Those waiting on the governor
were :Mayor Giesy, v representing
the city; H. O. White, president
of the Salem Chamber of Com
merce; M. L. Meyers, representing
the Salem Cherrians; and D. W.
Ayer and P. E. Graber, represent
ing the business men of Salem.
Should the fair board's order
be allowed to become effective on
October 15, according to notices
posted on the stables, it ia be
lieved the racing card at the state
fair next year would be seriously
curtailed, j l -
The governor will suggest that
the order be suspended 30 days.
The fair board Is to meet Novem

ably be finally decided on at that
time.

Many Hours Pass
Benjamin C. Binegar was found'
dead at the bottom of a well on
his farm 'at about six o'clock last
night. His farm is seven miles
east of Salem on the Salem-Sil-
verton road. Binegar ; was 72
years old, and except for his wife
was living alone on the place.
It was first .noticed that he
was missing at about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. No i serious
alarm was taken at that time, the
general assumption being that be
naa uucen a trip to saienx. isot
until late in the afternoon was
any 'particular concern caused by
his absence. A search was then
instituted, which- resulted In his
body being found at the bottom
of the well.
The well is located at the back
of the place, near the bam, and
It Is supposed that .Binegar had
some errand which took him in
that direction. The top of the
wejl was boarded over,' but' a hole
was left'about a foot and a halt
across, through which, the victim
undoubtedly fell. He Is feald to
have been rather- rheumatic,
which fact combined with his age,
caused him to lack in agility. In
view of this it is believed that if
he got near the well and for any
reason lost his balance it would
have been a simple matter fsr him
to fall in.
