Hoboken, N. J., Aug. 9. May-
or Gaynor chatted cheerfully
with his wife this afternoon at
St. Mary's hospital. Mrs. Qay-
nor and son Norman arrived at
the hospital at 1 and were kept
waiting half an hour while
the mayor was on the operat-
lng table. . Only a slight oper-
ation was performed. Gaynor
recognized his wife as soon as
she entered the room and urged
her not to worry and chatted
cheerfully for a few moments.
At 1:30 Dr. Lederle said Gay-
nor's condition was unchanged.
At 3 the mayor's condition Is
said to be satisfactory. X-ray
specialists are endeavoring to
find the bullet.

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

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-

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,

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.

The Rock Reservoir & Canal com
pany Is the name of a corporation
that came Into existence several days
ago and it purposes to water 6000
acres of land lying between Pilot
Rock; and the Junction of Stanley and
Alcott creeks, eight miles south of
the Rock.
As stated in the articles of incor
poration the , company is capitalized
for $10,000. ' Stockholders In the
company are the Cunningham Sheep
& Land company, the J. E. Smith.
Livestock company, Herbert Boylen,
Byrd Bros, and Hascall Bros. All of
these concerns own land between Pi
lot Rock and the Junction of the two
creeks and they propose to water
their own land. They will dam Stan
ley creek at the Junction where there
is a natural damslte. The creek rt
that point Is 100 feet wide and pass
es between bluffs 80 feet high. By
storing the flood waters of the two
streams it is estimated there will be
ample water to cover 5000 acrep. This
land will be used for raising Hay for
the owners and will be colonized at
some time In the future.
The Rock Reservoir & Canal com
pany was officially formed Friday
night at a meeting held at the Stan
ley school house south of Pilot Rock.
J. W. Burgess, manager of the Cun
