AEentlema by the name of Gay ,n town this week displaying ence and it was suggested to him that he ask the superintendent oi the prison to give him a test on marksmanship. Hayden accepted the advice and went out to the prison. "Bill" has 'roughed it" a good deal in his time and is perhaps not as prepos sessing in hia appearance as he might be. The superintendent, nevertheless, thought the request a reasonable one and turned Hayden over to Warden McPhearson. The tareet was placed in position 100 yards away and Hayden was given a prison rifle, with which he was not familiar. Scarcely taking aim, Hayden pumped three bullets into the bullseye. Thinking that this record was merely a "run of luek," the warden changed the target, when Hayden repeated his accom plishment. "You may report for duty to morrow morning," was the only comment the superintendent made 4atter1iiewaTurrh!am re port and recom-aendation. Havden has handled a rifle ever since he was a small boy shooting sauirrela and birds gave him skill that he could not have gained in any other way. He will be remem bered by several hundred members of the Second Oregon as "Hell Roaring Bill" during the campaign in the Philippines, where he served as a member of that regiment. When Tracy and Merrill were surrounded in the woods near Gervais a year ago, Hayden and several others wero determined to nlunee into the woods and bring out the desperadoes or die in the attempt. Sheriff Durbii would not let them go, and in disgust Hayden shouldered his rifle and walked to Salem. He went back on his farm and paid no more at tention to Tracy and Merrill. Hayden has been assigned to duty as a night euard on the wall. It may be presumed that having seen an exhibition of the guard's skill with the rifle and knowing something of his . "style," Warden McPhearson will not try to repeat his feat of going oyer the wall at night to test the vigilance of the guards. Special from Parker. The Parker chess club -met at 2 , P. M.

Each commamder ar rayed his army with great skill and caution and proceeded to at tack his antagonist. The pawns having only one way to go moyed forward to the attack; the horses took to their heels; the kings sought safety in their eastles and above the din and uproar could be heard the pleadings of the bishops for peace. The queens attempted to "check" the kings in their precipitous flight but without avail and the victory was iosi io both sides.
