Otto Henning Found Dying on Depot
Platform.
Perry, Oct. 21. (Special to the
East Oregonlnn.) Otto Henning, a.
blacksmith of tho Perry Lumber Co.,
died in tcrriole agony yesterday eve
ning, of what Is thought to be car
bolic acid poisoning.
Henning went to La Grando Sunday
morning and returning homo yester
day evening ho was overtaken by a
cortple of men In a buggy, who gave
him a ride. Ho got out of the buggy
near tho platform, staggered over to
the, walk beside the O, R. and N.
track, nnd fell down unconscious, dy
lng without becoming conscious to
tell who tno men In tho buggy were.
Dr. Willard Smith, of La Grande,
made an examination and found that
death was caused by what appeared
to be carbolic acid administered in
whiskey.
Henning was 40 years of age and
came from Wisconsin. He was known
to have had about $20 when he left
La Grande, but bis money was gone
when he was found on the platform
here. No clue has been found that
would disclose the identity of the
men In the biiggy with whom Hen
ning rode.

Red fir, $7 pin- cord; black pine
poles, $0.50 per cord, aim good dry
black pine, $ii,7r per cord. That is
tho story In Pendleton today.
There ate about "50 cords of wood
in the yaids, for sale at these prices,
and very Httlo coming In.
On the dumps nt Nlbley spur,
.Meachnm, .Murdoch t-pur and Knmela
are fully 8.000 cords or marketable
wood today. This wood Is owned
principally by Eugene Tnuslck, of
Walla Walla, and is passing through
the city of Pendleton on every train.
Cnrs are being furnished to the
Walla Walla wood man about as fast
as ordered, and (he situation In Walla
AVnlln Is not serious. In talking with
woodmen nt the Blue Mountain sta
tions, this week, P. P. Collier, a wood
dealer of this city, found thnt nine
out of ten of the wood choppers nnd
dealers of the mountains have con
tracted all their output to Mr. Taus
tck, nnd that while tho amount on the
dump is now almost double there at
this time last year, It Is almost Im
possible to get n car of wood for this
city.
A Walla Walla Combine.
Mr. Collier said to a EaBt Orogonlan
lupriisentatlve today:
"At Meacham there Is twice as
much wood on tho dump as at this
tlmo last year; at Nlbley spur there
Is Ihreo times as much; at Murdock
there Is more than at this time last
year, and at Kamela and Spring spur
the amount IS double.
"Tho wood supply at the mountain
stations Is controlled by two men in
Walla Walla, with possibly a small
amount In tho hands of one Pendleton
man. Every hauler consulted, with
one or two exceptions, nail contracted
his output In advance lo tho Walla
Wullu firms, and theie Is little pros.

this city, oven If tho reported short

wood situation In tho Blue Mountains
Ih a fact whlcji cannot be disputed
In the face of tho evidence of the
wood haulers, themselves, who refuse
to sell to' any other than tho dealer
In Walla Walla, who has had tho
output In his grasp since before It
was cut from the tree.
