CLOSL GILL FOB DEPUTY BERT WILSON Deputy Sheriff Bert Wilson had an experience Monday that he does not want to have repeated for It is only by rhance that he Is alive to tell the tale. Monday afternoon the deputy went down on train No. 1 to the Umatilla Central Junction and as he stepped from the train to the ground his au tomatic revolver dropped from his pocket to the ground. As the weapon struck the ground It was discharged and the bullet went upward. It passed through the rim of the offi cers hat, leaving a small hole about half, way between the edge of the rim nnd the hat band. At the time the trai nwas under heaMway and Wilson did not know where the ball went nfter It had fin ished with his hnt. However he learned from trainmen yesterday that the bullet went through n car window and caused some havoc among the passengers. After going through the double window of the car the ball went upward and wns burled In the woodwork of the car. At the time those In the car thought some miscreant had shot at the train Intentionally. ; TRAIN STRIKES WORKMEN. Get in Wny While Avoiding Another Tralii. Chicago, Sept. 2.

White River Junction, Vermont, Sept. 2. The republicans defeated the democrats in the state election by over 28.000. Lieutenant Governor George Prouty of Newport, who led the for mer ticket, received 41,432 votes, while James E. Burke, of Burling ton, his democratic opponent, had 14.536 votes with 23 small towns mb:sing. These towns in 1904 gave a republican plurality or ix. The next legislature will stand as follows: Senate republicans 29, democrats 1. House Republicans 210, demo crats 30, Independence league 6. At a late hour tonight Prouty claims his election over Burke by 30,000 votes. The republican plurality of 28,000 was about 2000 below the average for the September elections on presi dential years, except In 1888 and in 1892. In those years, when it was 1V than 25,000, the election was fol lowed by a democratic national vic tory. Whether the 1000 or more votes cast for the Independence league candidates came from democrats or the republican ranks can only be con jectured although last night It looked as if the democrats had been the sufferers. Independents Poll 1000. J The Independence league appeared for the first time nnd polled nbout 1000 votes, while the prohibition and socialist vote remained about the same. An unusually large number of local candidates for membership of the legislature, although bringing out a heavy vote and resulting in demo cratic gains in the lower branch of the legislature, apparently had no bearing on the gubernatorial fight. As Vermont is the first state to vote during the presidential campaign there was much interest throughout the country in the size of the repub lienn plurality. The republicans retained complete control of the legislative and execu tive branches of the government of Vermont. They elected to congress from the first district, David J. Fos ter of Burlington, for another term, nnd from the second district Frank Plutnjey of Xorthfield for the first time, nnd elected a majority of the state legislature, which will select a successor to the late Senator Redfield Proctor.
