LOCAL BOY GAINS
FAME AT CHEYENNE
le Caldwell Takes Third Place In
Rucking Contest, Riding Wildest
Horse.
Lee Caldwell, son of William Cald
well, prominent local rancher, dem
onstrated his ability as a broncho
buster in Cheyenne last week when
in the finals of the bucking contests
of the annual Frontier day, he won
the third place prize of $150. Had
the decision been left to the audience,
he would unquestionably have cap
tured the first trophy, according to
uccounts received here.
Young Caldwell is well known here,
where he was raised and where he
got his first training as a buckaroo. I
Iiefore the inception of the Round-1
up, he had taken many prizes' at
small bucking contests, though only
a boy, and In each of the two Round
ups he has ridden, but met with hard
luck and was eliminated from the
finals. Recently he has been travel
ing with the 101 Ranch and was with
that show when it gave a performance
here. He is only nineteen years old
now and his record at Cheyenne Indi
cates that he will be a world beater
when he has secured the experience of
a few more years.
In speaking of his showing at Chey
enne, the Herald of that city, after
stating that Frank Carter of La
Grange, Wyoming, had been awarded
first place, says:
"Had a decision In the final riding
been left to the crowd, the champion
ship would undoubtedly have gone to
Lee Caldwell, a youngster of nineteen
years, who, not included In the list
of contestants selected to ride In the
finals, demanded a return ride that
he might prove his ability, and on
Senator Warren made a showing so
good that he could no longer legiti
mately be denied admission to the
final contest. Riding In the final his
performance on I-Be-Damned was as
spectacular as any of the celebration
and when, after the wicked horse had
dashed into the Judge's stand and
then through the fence, the youngster
was still In the saddle and ready for
more, the crowd fluttered the clouds
with its cheers.
Caldwell's riding, however, was not
technically as perfect as Carter's or
Hugh Clark's. In the opinion of the
Judges, and he was awarded third
place, Clark taking second for his
ride on "Xevada Kid."
Washington, Aug. 21. The war de
partment fearing a clash In Xlcara
gua is inevitable, prepared today to
send additional troops to the scene of
the trouble.' The tenth Infantry now
at Panama, was ordered to hold it
self ready for embarkation. The
cruiser Denver due at Corlnto on
Sunday carries 300 marines. It is
expected they will be ordered over
land to Managua where the situation
Is regarded as critical, to reinforce
the American forces already landed
there.
San Juan Del Sur, Xlcaragua, Aug.
21. Advices received here today say
that panic reigns in Managua as a
result of the threat of general Mena,
leader of the Insurgents, to resume
his bombardment of the capital unless
the city surrenders.

day passed the budget bill, which pro
vides for the abolition of the com
merce court, over President Taft's

TAFT GIVES REASONS
FOR VETOING MEASURE
Washington, Aug. 31. President
Taft today vetoed for the second time
within a week the budget bill because
the measure provided tor the abolish
ment of commerce court. Members
of congress told Taft the bill would
be passed over his veto, as more than
two-thirds of both houses are oppos
ed to the court. Ta-ffs veto message
was only ten lines in length. He call
ed attention to his objection to the
abolishment of the commerce court
as expressed In his former veto message.
swalts.it. The democratic presiden
tial candidate. Gov. Wilson, is Bryan
and Parker over again, without the
oratory of the one or the legal train
ing of the other, but with the free
trade prejudices of both seemingly in
tensified. It Is not unkind to dis
cern that Wilson Is a pedagogue, not
a statesman."
REDMOND MAYOR AND
MARSHALL QUIT JOBS
Salem, Ore., Aug. 21. Governor
West was Informed that his law-enforcement
crusade had succeeded
when he brought about the resigna
tion of H. J. Jones as mayor of Red
mond, and City Marshal McClay, a
telegram being received to that effect
from the city council.
This will make It unnecessary for
him to call out the troops and pro
ceed to the scene to compel the city
council to give the people of Redmond
a clean lot of city officials. The
council advised the governor Monday
morning that it had the mayor's resig
nation but suggested a further inves
tigation of conditions, maintaining
that the governor was ignorant as to
them. The governor wired back that
nothing but the resignation of the
mayor and city marshal would satis
fy him. and threatened to take steps
to bring it about, unless they were
forthcoming and his threat had the
desired effect.
Proceeding under a statute which
he may invoke In hs law-enforcement
crusade, Governor West desig
nated Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin of Port
land, as special agent,, with power
to act in any county of the state. The
statute provides that whenever in the
Judgment of the governor criminals
are apt to escape Justice or punish
ment, he may employ special agents
to accumulate evidence against them
and bring about their arrest. Should
conditions warrant it ha will make use
of It In the campaign he Is waging
to compell county and municipal of
ficers to enforce the ; laws against
gamblers, saloons and disreputable
houses.
Veteran Leader of Salvation Army
I'lu-onseoiis IS Hours Iiefore
End Comes.
London, Aug. 21. General Wm.
Pooth. commander-in-chief of the
Salvation Army, died at 10:30 o'clock
last night. He was born at Notting
ham in 1829.
The veteran Salvation Army leader
was unconscious for 48 hours before
his death. The medical bulletins had
not revealed the seriousness of the
general's condition, which for a week
it now is admitted, was hopeless.
General Booth underwent an oper
ation twelve weeks ago for the re
moval of a cataract from his left eye.
For two days after physicians gave
hope of his recovery. Septic poisoning-then
set in and from that time,
with the exception of occasional ral
lies the patient's health steadily de
clined. The general recognized that
the end was near and often spoke of
his work as being finished.
The aged evangelist died at his res
idence, the Rockstone, Hadleywood
eight miles from London, where he
had been confined to his bed since
the operation. At the bedside when
the end came were Mr. and Mrs.
Bramwell Booth and their daughter
and son, Adjutant Catherine Booth
and Sergeant Bernard Booth; the gen
eral's youngest daughter. Commission
er Mrs. Booth-Helberd, and Com
missioner Howard Colonel Kltching
and Dr. Wardfaw Ml'.ne.
APPOINTS COMMISSION
TO DEAL WITH PROBLEM
Sacramento, Cal., Aug. 21. Gov.
Johnson today announced his action
on the problem dealing with foreign
immigration, which Is expected when
California is opened directly to south
ern Europe by the Panama canal
when he announced the appointment
of a special commission to deal with
the matter.
Salem, Ore.. Aug. 21 Routing vice
from Its haunts in Redmond and
Huntington has been but preliminary
to the real fight Governor West is
preparing in his law enforcement cam
paign. He is now ready to tackle the
biggest Job in the state. The next
town on his list is the city of Port
land. When asked yesterday where he
would strike next, the governor said:
"I'm going to clean up Portland
next."
He said he did not refer merely to
roadhouses, but to the city Itself. He
said he did not care to discuss his
plans, except to say he was prepared
to shake the metropolis to Its foun
dations unless the' laws were en
forced there.
It is to be presumed that his line
of procedure will not vary greatly
fioni his attacks on smaller places.
Is; This being true, the matter of law
I enforcement will undoubtedly be put
iu;irely up to Mayor Rushlight and
Chief of Police Slover, as well as
Sheriff Stevens and county officials.
In his campaigns the governor also
never overlooks the district attorney's
office.
If these officials do not respond to
his demands it is not at all unlikely
that the governor will demand their
resignation under threat of putting
the city under martial law. It is be
lieved he has been gathering evidence
on Portland for some time, as he has
made It a practice to be well prepared
for every showdown that might arise
before opening fire on a city.

That He Cannot Accept Place

Salem, Ore., Aug 21. Ysnaniait
Dr. J. C. Calbreath of Portland, has
refused to accept the position of su
perintendent of the easter n OrAtmn
asylum. Unnotified State Treasurer
Kay to that effect last night.
inis reopens the knotty problem the
present state board has to solve in
trying to launch that institution on
successful course. It is not unlikely
the position will be offered Dr. Frank
Griffith, first assistant at the asylum
here, but doubt is expressed as to his
acceptance if it should be offered to
him.
PENROSE EXPLAINS
ARCHHOLI) CHECK
Washington, Aug. 21. Rising to a
question of personal privilege Senator
Boise Penrose of Pennslvanla, today
told the senate the circumstances of
the sending to him of a check for
$25,000 by John D. Achbold of the
Standard Oil company. The galleries
were packed when Penrose started
speaking.
DEMAND FOR MONEY IS
FELT RY INTERIOR RANKS
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 21. Reports
received from the banks of the inte
rior state that those institutions are
feeling th cull 'rr money with which
to mave the crops. Wheat is coming
to market freely, desptte the price,
which the farmers consider low. The
early selling of wheat is having a
good effect on collections, and mer
chants who have been carrying their
farmer customers throush the spring
and summer are becoming able to re
adjust themselves to the better con
ditions. Many of the interior counties will
have larger total returns from the
fields than In several years. This will
coma from the mixed farming. meth
ods used and the better tillage. It
should have a good effect on trade,
and merchants who go to market for
their supplies are starting earlier than
usual, and with plans for liberal buying.
Retribution Is something we are
morally certain will overtake other
people.

HOBO GIVES WARNING
AND WRECK AVERTED
Only timely warning given by a
hobo yesterday averted a wreck of
the Xorthern Pacific local, which ar
rives here at 10 a. m., according to a
story that Just reached Pendleton to
day. Discovering a piece of rail
broken out near Fulton, he had Just
time to reach that station and notify
M. A. Ballinger, a warehouseman,
before the train arrived in sight. Bal
linger flagged it and it was stopped
until the track was repaired.
The track was presumably broken
by the morning freight which leaves
here at 8:30 a. m The hobo was
walking along the track Just after the
train had passed him and found a
piece of rail about eight inches long
broken out. He hastened to one of
the warehouses and his warning was
just in time for the two trains had
passed each other at Myrick and In
another five minutes the local would
have struck the broken rail. In the
opinion of trainmen a wreck would
have been inevitable.
His mission performed, the hobo
left without waiting for thanks or
without revealing his name.
