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

Chicago, Sept. 2. One man was
killed and two fatally hurt today when
a Northwestern elevated train struck
a g.ir.g of workmen who stepped in
front of one train to escape another.
.John Soshne was hurled 50 feet In
the air and Instantly killed.
Snge Securities Worthies.
New York, Sept. 2. Further prob
ing into the affairs of the Russell
Sage estate revealed a large assort
ment of worthless securities. Execu
tors are today making an Inventory
of nil bonds nnd stocks upon which
they are unnble to realize. The total
value of these holdings as shown by
Sage's financial register was $1,071,
000. They are now not worth the
paper they are written on and the
executors expect to realize but little
money on many of Sage's open ac
counts. The two railroads he owned
have been sold at a loss.
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.
BRYAN WON'T ADMIT
VERMONT. FORECAST.
St. Paul, Sept. 2. W. J. Bry-
an said today that he did not
know how the republican vie-
tory in Vermont yesterday could
be considered as a barometer of
the coming election. He said:
"Personally I am unable to see
how It has any effect, as the
campaign has Just opened."
He declined to discuss the
showing made by the independ-
ence league and left for Sioux
City, where he speaks tonght.
IDAHO REPUBLICANS
ARE IN SESSION
Boise, Sept. 2. The second day's
session of the republican state con
vention opened today with much un
certainty regarding the nominees for
state offices. A movement to defeat
Congressman French was started last
night. State Senator Heyburn threw
consternation Into the convention by
declaring against the direct primary
and election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people.
