EASTERNERS SWELTERED
1 THROUGH HOT SUMMER,
" PENDLETON WAS COOL
While Easterners sweltered
through the summer heat, Pen-
dletonianrf did not suffer, for
weather records show that the
thermometer went no higher
thnn 102, this maximum being
unusual as the average tempera-
ture wug below 90.
Not one heat prostration oc-
curred, nor has a Pendleton resi-
dent ever suffered death from
such cause, according to Ralph
Folsom, pioneer undertaker of
this city. Mr. Folsom says that
his records for the past 25 years
do not reveal a death from the
heat. He emphasizes the fact
the county has for years had
the lowest death rate In Oregon.
Last year but 98 burial permits
were issued In Pendleton. ,

did Tlagains spend the time that
elapsed between his first visit and
second, visits to the cabin. When the
body was found by the authorities, his
repeating shotgun was lying by h
side, and the story told by Shields and
Itunyon, who with Brunn were spend
ing the night in the cabin, is to the
effect that Ragalns went home to get
his shotgun. The mother and wife of
Itngains declare that he had never
been '.n the house after leaving early
Saturday morning to go to work with
Brunn. . "
Another fact that lends interest to
tho c.i Is found in the report that
whei. agains was there early in the
evening hit! dog was not with him, but
that on his second trip, he was ac
companied by the dog.
Bullet Sot Found.
The bullet which ended Ragalns life
was not located by Deputy Coroner
Brady and Deputy Sheriff Spears,
though they searched diligently for it.
Tho belief Is expressed that the bullet
after passing through the body, went
out through the opened door which
was In the background and In direct
line from Brunn's position when he
fired.
One angle that remains difficult for
tho authorities to understand is how,
If Ragalns were standing upright at
the time of the shooting, as has been
reported, the course of the bullet
could have been downward if
Brunn fired from a sitting position on
the back side of the bed.
Saw MyiTH Killed.
Jesse Brunn, who is better known
as Jesse Roberts, which was his
mother's name after her second mar.
rlage was a witness to the death of
Tom Myers not many miles from the
scene of the Ragalns shooting. Myers
las shot by a cattleman named Rhon
Imus in ll06 in the Cabbage Hill dis
trict, and Rrunn was with Myers when
he was killed. Rhonimug was acquit
ted of the charges preferred against
him. His pica was self defense.
Brunn testified at the trial.
Another fact that has been brought
out is that during the time when he
was not working, Brunn usually made
his home with Ragalns. '
That he never knew Rngains to be
ouarrelsome Is n statement that was
made today by C. M. Wright to friends.
Wright and Prnnn were associated in
running horses together on pasture,
and Wright has been deeply affected
by the tragedy. '"
Shields, one of the witnesses, is em
ployed at the Oliver Knitts saw mill
on the Kost fork of Birch creek. Run
yon Is said to have come to the cabin
for a visit over Sunday when ho was
planning to ride some of the horses
to try them out In prepaartion for the
Round-Cp.
To Assist State.
It Is reported today that the law
firm of Haley, Raley & Steiwer has
been or will be secured to assist in the

I'm- free from stomach trouble, and
tho change in my condition has been
co remarkable I can hardly realize it.
When I began taking Tanlac I had no
appetite and even the little I ate seem
ed to give me no nourishment, and I
'.viik almost as weak as u kitten. I
didn't rest well at night and would
get up in the morning feeling tired
and worn out and hardly had energy
enough to put on my clothes.
"While I expected soma good from
Tanlac I certainly was surprised when
it. took hold of me, gave me a ravenous
appetite, put my stomach in apple-pio
order and actually built mo up twenty
pounds in weight. I sleep good and
sound every nlfht and feel fine all the
time. I don't believe there Is a man
'in Portland that I can't beat in a font
race today. I'm like a new man, and
If anvbody wants to know what Tanlac
will do cend them to me."

years old and that he has lived in
Umatilla county during the past 16
years except while he was in the ser
vice. He is a former member of
Trooo D and has 21 months service,
about five months of which was at the
front. His mother lives in Montana
and his father Is dead.
Runyon and Shields were at his
cabin during the .evening, he said.
Runyon was there on a visit overnight,
and Shields had come to borrow &
horse. Brunn is associated with C. M.
Wright in pasturing horses, accord
ing to his statement.
"Do you think Ragalns had been
drinking when the shooting occur
red?" he was a6ked. -
"I have no statement to make about
that," he replied.
Gambling Party, Authorities Believe
Officials are preceding on the theory
that the tragedy was the result of an
evening devoted to gambling, though
they were not able to find any cards
or any trace of a deck having been
burned. The story of the three sur
vivors to the effect that Ragalns return .
ed to the' house at midnight after an (
absence of approximately three nours
is discredited by the authorities. They
express the opinion that he never left
the house after his arrival earlier in
the evening.
A fact which they think may lend
strength to this assumption is that
Ragalns had a considerable sum of
money on hitn at the time of his death
which might indicate that he had won
in a gambling game. His pockets con.
tained $30. Brunn had about $2.50
when he was searched at the Jail.
Another feature which the authori
ties declare does not fit in with the
statement of the three men It that the
course of the bullet as disclosed by un
examination of Ragains' wound by the
coroner, is slightly downward. It
would have been impossible tor the
wound to have been inflicted by a man
who fired from a sitting position if Ra
gains was standing at the time the shot
was ffrod, the authorities declare. If
Brunn was seated when he fired, the
authorities believe that It would have
been impossible for the bullet to have
take the course it took unless Ragains
was also seated. Otherwise the heavy
bullet would In all probability have
ranged upward, it is thought.

The number of motor trucks now
in use in the United States totals 961,
635, as compared with the total motor
vehicle registration of 9,295,252, ac
cording to compilations made by sta
tisticians of the B. F. Goodrich Rub
ber Co.
The compilations are based on the
actual truck registration figures of 30
states and estimates of motor vehicle
registrars of the 18 other states which
do not seggregate motor truck and
passenger car registrations. They are
conservative, possibly somewhat below
the actual number of trucks in use.
Many states whjch have not seg
gregated motor truck and passenger
car licenses in the past have arranged
to do so this year. Consequently fu
ture estimates can be made with a
greater degree of exactness.
According to the Goodrich figures.
New York led all other states by a
substantial margin, with 132, 524. Ohio
came second with- 83.300. Pennsyl
vania, which ranked third in the num
ber of motor vehicles of all kinds,
dropped to fourth, place in the truck
list, Illinois taking third place with
64,995. Pennsylvania trucks totaled
52,605.
Tho next six states In the list were:
Massachusetts, fifth, 51,386; Michigan,
sixth, 45,773; California, seventh. 35,
85 7; Indiana, eighth, 32,482; Texas,
ninth, 30,000, and Washington, tenth,
25,570.
It is interesting to note that 27
states, more than half the total num
ber, had 10,000 or more trucks. Of
this number, the large majority were
states where considerable manufac
turing is done. The agricultural
states however, were well represented,
and it is safe to predict that In a few
yoais they will be it the majority.
CAMPAIGNS AGAINST DISEASE
' HONOLULU, Aug. 22. (I. N. S.)
The first offensive in the campaign
