Dallas Man Discovers Body of Murdered
Indian While Driving Into
Toledo.
Ueorge Record, who has just re
turned from a trip Into Lincoln county
to Inspect some of his timber holdings
near Toledo, tells a story of a rather
grewsome experience which he en
countered, in the discovery of the body
of a murdered Indian.
He had finished his visit to his
timber property and was driving back
to Toledo late In the evening In com
pany with Saul Wedle, who had been
with bim on the trip. Suddenly the
horses shied, stopped, and stubbornly
resisted all efforts made to urge them
forward. Suspicioning that something
unusual had frightened them, Mr.
Record sprang out of the wagon and
went forward to investigate. A short
distance in front of the horses, he was
startled to find the body of a young
Indian stretched in the middle of the
road flat on its back, the breast and
shirt stained with the flow of blood
from a bullet wound in the heart
Apparently he had been dead otly a
short time.
Horrified by the discovery and not
desiring to take any action before
daylight made it possible to see clearly
what he was doing, he returned to" tbe
wagon, unhitched the horses- and
camped at that place during the re
mainder or tbe night. Early next
morning he hastened Into Toledo and
notified tbe sheriff and coroner, who
returned with him at once.
Tn the inquest it appeared that the
murdered man, whose name was Clay
bourne White, had been drinking
heavily in company with three other
Indians during the day on which tbe
murder occurred, and it is supposed
that be was shot by one of his com
panions in some drunken quarrel.
There were no tracks about the body
and it appears that his assasain shot
bim down from a distance and never
approached the body afterward to
make more sure of his work. The
bullet passed entirely through the
man's body and his death was appar
ently Instantaneous. Mr. Record says
that up to tbe time he left Toledo no
arrests had been made, but that
White's companions were under sus
picion and a close watch was kept on
all their actions:
School Board Will Meet.
-C. G. Coad, one of the members of
the school board of this district, says
that a meeting will be held for the
purpose of electing teachers for the
Dallas public school, as soon as Hon.
D. S. Loughary, one of the director?,
returns from Newport It is reported
that the selection of teachers for the
coming year will be practically the
same as last year. It is probable that
tbe school board will also take some
definite action concerning tbe pro
posed building of additional school
room, as it will be necessary for tbe
work to be commenced at once, should
they decide to build, so. that it may be
completed in time for the opening of
school 'in September. There seems
little doubt that they will decide to
carry out the proposed improvement,
since the recent enormous growth in
tbe city's population and tbe addition
of tbe high school grades has in
creased the enrollment far above tbe
capacity of the building now in in use
to accommodate with convenience.
Adventist Campmeeting.
Representatives of the Adventist
Church will hold a tent meeting in
Dallas from August 1 to September 1.
Tbe meetings will be under the direc
tion of Rev. and Mrs. W. F. Martin
and daughters, of Helena, Montana,
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Pettlt and H. H.
Dlrksen, of Portland. They have
Just finished a long and highly suc
cessful series of meetings In Falls
City, and have pitched their tents in
Dallas on Mill street, two blocks east
of Main, where their new meetings
will be formally opened tomorrow
night. Their programs will consist
of song services and a series of ser
mons on topics of religious interest,
and they are anticipating a large
attendance and great success during
their entire stay in Dallas.
Dallas Girl Again Leads.
Speaking of its annual subscription
contest which has without exception
been woo by the representatives of
Dallas during the past two years, the
Portland Journal says : "Mis Launer
still leads with a good majority over
her nearest rival, Ralph Roboett.
Dallas seems to have a close affinity
to the choice of Tbe Journal's scholar
ship and unless other districts make
mora determined effort the honor
will agalo find Its way to that city."

Have you had any lenp-year pro
posals-yet? I haven't had any but I
have bad a very strong hint, nothing
short of a box of yum-yums. Of
course It was my birthday but I wasn't
looking for it I heard a good one
about a polite young man who had
ust had a proposal from a nice girl.
He couldn't accept but he was saying,
"I will always be a brother to you,"
when she up and said, "Brother.
nothing ; if that was what I wanted I
could pull one out from under the sofa
right now." 1 went to a leap year
party the other night and, say, It was
fierce. One girl actually proposed to
young friend of mine and was
accepted and they were wedded right
on the spot by jumping over a broom
that was purchased at U.S. Loughary's
store. We have fine brooms for 25c,
but I think our bon-bons (assorted)
and chocolate creams are more In line
for social occasions. -They are surely
tbe all-right merchandise tor birthday
and wedding gifts. Some come In
fancy boxes and some of tbe glace
fruits are In burnt-wood boxes, mission
style. Get a line on our sweetmeats.
