Though Pend'eton's fuel supply

supply has been low and dealers have
formed the habit or connscaung coai

A dispatch from Baker City ' says:
Just before 12 o'clock Saturday
Carl Carnes, who was shot by Jim
Lclghton at Huntington Friday even
ing, died from his injuries.
This complicates the position In
which Jim Lclghton Is placed. Before
Carnes died the charge no doubt rest
ed on "assault with deadly weapon,'
but now that his victim Is dead Carnes
will probably have to face the charge
of murder.
Reports from the scene of the crime
state that Leighton had in mind to
shoot another man, but met Carnes
In a saloon and an old troublo over a
solo game was revived. Leighton was
hound to shoot someone so he began
picking a tiuarrel out of Carnes. The
latter was a one-legged man and as
he was known In Baker, not at all a
quarrelsome fellow. When Leighton
had passed the endurance line, how
ever, in his remarks to Carnes, his
talk was resented and finally Carnes
struck Leighton Willi his cane. This
seemed vt pica.-e Leighton' and gave
him an excuse to opon fire which he
did. Four bullets hit Carnes, and but
for his rumaWiable constitution his
death would have followed in a very
short time. He was brought to linker
where an operation was periormeu .
and soon after this he died. ' ;

A Statement to the Public.
Our $15 suit and overcoat sale this '
season has been the best of any that
we have ever had and we sold more
suits on the opening days than any
other store In Pendleton has ever
sold In the same length of time. It
has been so good that It has caused
some of our competitors to come out
with prices that may seem lower to
prospective buyers, but we want to
say that there is not one store in
Peudleton or Umatlla county thnt
carries the same high grade mer
chandise and we do not consider that
by selling cheaper goods for a trifle
less Is giving any better bargains.
When a store sells such high grade
clothing ns Sturm & Mayer, Alfred
Benjamin & Co.'s and Society Brand
for $15 it Is absolutely the best bar
gain that can poss'bly be given.
Another thing wo wish tho public
to know Is that every suit and over
coat in our store Is In this sale, and
nothing is reserved or moved from the
store.
Remember, we are not a credit
store, and this sale Is positively cash.
