The right kidney received a severe injury, the extent of which cannot be determined in advance of full developments. The liver also shows indications of shock. A left inguinal hernia has developed. In addition to the above, Mr. Murphy sustained numerous severe but not dangerous contusions and cuts upon the arms, legs and head.

B. Welch Is Certain That Pen- dleton Will Have Some First-Class Attractions This Season. James B. Welch will go tonight to Portland, to take up his permanent abiding place there. He will, however, retain the man agement of the opera house here, and expects to be able to book better at tractions for this place on account of his change of residence giving him an opportunity to meet personally the bookers for the combinations. These gentry very seldom go directly into the smaller towns, but make their headquarters in the city and do their booking by correspondence, and that method is the one which results so frequently in the dissatisfaction of the public Mr. Welch has a position on the staff of the Baker theater and upon its completion will have a position with the new Orpbeum. Mr. Welch ! is quite certain that Pendleton will have summer vaudeville this summer. The only element of uncertainty is the slight doubt as to whether lie will be able to book a really first-class com pany for the place, and unless he can do this he will book none at all. How ever, he considers the prospects for getting a realy high-grade company here as excellent The season will open on or about June 15 and continue without inter mission for a month, with the proba bilities that there will be a return engagement in September. At this time Mr. Welch has hopes of securing the Weston-Herbert Co., which was at the opera house a short time ago and was pronounced by the large au dience which saw them, the best com pany that has appeared here in years.
