For a time the ladles were panic strlckeil for they feared that some insane person, had run amuck with a gun and that further volley might re sult. But no other shots were fired and there is absolutely nothing throw. Ing light upon the affair, excepting that the shot was evidently fired by someone below town, as the bullet came from that direction. The bullet Is from a large calibre old fashioned rifle and Is big enough to serve as an anchor for a battleship. It was shown to the police by Mr. Montgomery and an effort Is being made, to ascertain who Is so careless in the use of firearms. As the bullet went far Into the woodwork of the Montgomery house there is little doubt that it . would have killed a person had It struck anyone. SALOONS MUST GO. Union County Contest Will Not Hln der Closing. La Grande, June 26. In the event that the injunction now hanging over the county court Is dissolved, the Sa loons must leave Union county and stay out until the supreme court has taken action on the matter, should Julius Roesch appeal a decision fa voring tho anti-saloon league.

Fortunately, the species has a very short existence, extending only over a few days. 4 Pla'yV Won 16 9 8 7 Lost P. C.
