At 3 the mayor's condition Is said to be satisfactory. X-ray specialists are endeavoring to find the bullet. 9 New York, Aug. 9. A man suppos edly Insane, shot Mayor Gaynor of New York after he had boarded the North German-Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wllhelm der Grosse this morning and his condition is believed to be serious. The assailant was captured and ta ken to the Hoboken' police headquar ters. The mayor was about to start on a month's vacation in Europe. Hoboken, Aug. 9. Mayor Gaynor was rushed to St. Mary's hospital af ter he was shot down and It was an nounced soon afterwards at the hos pital that he still lived, although his condition Is critical. Gaynor's assail ant gave the name of James Gallgher and his age Is 65 years. He was re cently discharged as foreman of the dock department of New York city. The shooting occurred Just after Gay nor had boarded the steamer Kaiser Wllhelm at the Hoboken pier. Gaynor was standing In the com panlonway aboard the liner talking to President-elect Montt of Chile and 8enora Montt, when the assailant crept up behind him and without warning fired. Gaynor staggered Into the arms of his secretary, Robert Adamson, who sprang forward at the hot. The mayor was bleeding from a wound in the back of the head. With the sound of the shot passen gers crowding the deck turned and saw a man with a smoking revolver In his hand. 'Half a dozen men pounced on the assailant, who fell to the deck yelling and fighting for another chance to "get Gaynor." The man's revolver- Was wrested from him and he was beaten into submission with It. Senora Montt Insisted on going to the mnyor's suite where Gaynor was taken. Physicians of the ship and from the shore were almost Instantly In attendance on the stricken man. His wound was hastily bandaged by strips of cloth taken from the skirt ,of Senora Montt, who aided the phy slclans in caring for the wounded man. In the meantime an ambulance OULLUS WHEAT PROVES ITS WORTH 0 T S Thnt Galgallus wheat is a good drouth resisting variety and also yields well has been shown by the experience In producing that wheat on the A. B. McCarthy ranch near Echo. According to Dell McCarty who la now in the city they have raised Gal gallus wheat for three years. They secured a sample of the wheat three years ago by writing to the depart ment of agriculture at Washington, D. C. Since then they have saved the seed each year and replanted It The wheat has always yielded better PREPARES E urn trip ; 1 dashed up to the pier and backed alongside the vessel. Gaynor, lying on a stretcher, apparently uncon scious, was lowered to the wharf and placed in the hospital car which was driven at full speed to St. Mary's hospital. At the hospital the operat ing room was being made ready while the ambulance was on the way and Gaynor was placed on the operating table as soon as he arrived. While the surgeons were working over the mayor all Inquiries regarding his con dition remained unanswered. Once Secretary Adamson emerged from the room and declared his belief that the mayor's wound would not prove fatal. The shooting occurred on the port side of the forward deck which .was thronged with persons bidding fare well to departing passengers. The shots and struggle threw them Into confusion. One of Gaynor's sons ac companled him to the hospital. Doc tors Struach and Meier. surgeons shortly after their arrival issued a bulletin saying: "Only one bullet struck Mayor Gaynor. The mlssle en tered the back of the head below the ear In the region of the mastoid bone, where it buried itself. A preliminary examination discloses the wound Is not necessarily fatal" Gallagher Is being sweated. The sailing of the WUhelm der Grosse was delayed Half an hour. The capture was sensational. The first shot from the maddened man's revolver struck Gaynor and two other shots followed before Gallagher ' was overpowered. Big Bill Edwards, the ex-football player, the street cleaning commis sioner of New York, who was stand ing by Gaynor ,was wounded by one of the bullets. Examination showed one of the bullets had penetrated the fleshy part of his arm, causing a slight wound. A consultation of ten physicians was held at 1 o'clock. Gaynor was shot Just as newspaper photographers were taking farewell pictures of him. "Look pleasant, please," laughingly commanded the picture men and the mayor smiled. As though an echo to the words a shot rang out and Gaynor staggered into Adamson's arms. As he was be ing carried to the hospital he gasped to the secretary: "Tell the people good bye." Seeing the distress his words caused, the mayor added: "I don't mean Just that. I guess there is plenty of fight left In me. Who did it?" When Gallagher was registered at police headquarters he begged to re tain his pipe and tobacco and tin to bacco box. The police took them away, fearing he might commit sui cide. Gallagher laughed and said: "Oh, I ain't going to try the Dutch act." Assailant's Statement. Hoboken, Aug. 9. Declaring he was desperate because Gaynor depriv ed him Of his bread and then started for Europe to enjoy himself, J. J. Gallagher told the police that he shot Gaynor. He said: "I came to Ho boken shortly after 9 o'clock and boarded the steamer; met a clergy man and asked him to point out Gay nor to me. When he did so, I fired at Gaynor. I don't know whether I fired more than once. Knowing that Gaynor was going to Europe this morning to enjoy himself after he had deprived me of my bread and butter, I was angry. The revolver you have shown me is the one I did the shoot ing with. I have had the revolver a long time. I used It when I was an employe of the city." His picture and measurements were taken and he was locked In a cell. Gallagher is a widower with no chil- (Continued on page .) than other varieties. This year the Galgallus produced 26 bushels per acre whereas Dale wheat In another portion of the same field had a yield of but 20 bushels to the acre. So the superiority of the Galgullus seems evident. But not only does Galgallus yield well but it promises to bring blue- stem prices, another feature that should make It appeal to farmers. The McCartys were induced to send for a sample of Galgullus wheat through the recommendation that It was a good drouth resisting variety, OF H YORK FULLS BE MANY KILLED Thirteen Lives Are Snuffed i Out in Big Collision Near!

SEVEN HORSES ARE BURNED TO DEATH JOHN TIMMERMAN SCFFERS A SEVERE LOSS BY FLAMES Large Bam ami All Its Contents and Machinery Shed Consumed by Fire Loss Will be Between $8000 and $10,000 Cause Is Vnknown. Seven horses were burned to death at the John Tlmmerman place near Helix last night In a fire which de stroyed the large barn with all of Its contents together with the machinery sheds and their contents. The dam age will amount to between $$,000 and $10,000 and Timmerman has not yet been able to ascertain whether or not he carried any insurance. The Tlmmerman farm Is located about two miles east of Helix. Mr. Timmerman was In Pendleton yester day afternoon and stated this morn ing that when he arrived home at about 9 o'clock in the evening, every thing was alright and there was no Indication of the disastrous blaze which was so soon to follow. He went to bed immediately and at 11 o'clock when he was aroused by the other members of the family, the buildings were all in flames and the heat so Intense that no one could go near them. Of the eight valuable work horses stabled in the barn but one succeeded in breaking away and running out. The others were burned to death in their stalls. The barn was filled with grain hay and also contained a large number of bushels of this year's crop of barley. With the machinery sheds there went up in smoke, wagons, buggies plows and other farm machinery worth thousands of dollars. Tlmmerman Is absolutely without a theory as to the cause of the blaze and the only one advanced by anyone is that he must have dropped a match which smouldered In the straw un til after he had retired for the hlght and was then fanned into blaze which quickly licked up the wooden struc tures and their contents.
