Johnston, postmaster at Antelope, shot and killed himself Friday morning, following an investigation into the accounts of the postoffice by G O. Brun- ner of The Dalles, postoffice in spector. Johnston shot himself in the temple with a revolver. He died six hours later in his home. Johnston was well known in Wasco county, having acted as postmaster at Antelope for 15 year3. He was also manager of the Southern Wasco Telej l one company. The shooting took place in hi3 little office in tht baek of the combined geneia! store and postoffice. A 4-year old girl, who was in the store, found Johnston, still alive. He was taken to his home, N where he died without regaining conscious ness. Inspector Brunner declared that he had found shortages in Johntson's books extending over a period of more than a year and a half. Coroner C. N. Burget was attending the picnic at Tygh Valley when word reached of the suicide. He was taken to Ante lope by a machine from The Dalles, and had a perilous trip over roads that had been swept by the heavy rains of the day. The coroner arrived in Antelope by Friday at midnight, and held an inquest to day. The verdict was death resulting from suicidal intent. Chronicle.

The road bond rally was held in the morning, with only one out of several hundred men in attendance, still unconvinced of the great need in the county for such a road at the conclusion of the several speeches. Edward C. Pease, County Judge J. T. Adkisson and Elliott Roberts, representing The Dalles Wasco County Chamber of Com merce, were the speakers of the day. Automobiles filled with 15 local business men made the trip to Tygh Valley yesterday. After the road bond rally, basket lunches were produced and enjoyed by those present. All the while, however the sky had become blacker and blacker, but as no rain appeared to be immediately forthcoming, the ay's program was continued. The lunch completed, H. W. Aibury, Community service di rector in The Dalles, led in a 15 minute community sing. And then the baseball game started. The Maupin nine, with the record of having defeated all formidable opponents in Wasco county, wa3 out to wipe up the diamond with the ball tossers from Grass Valley. The game progressed evenly 0 to 0 until the second inning, when Jupe Pluvius who was apparently on the side of Giass Valley nine, became peeved at a decision given by the umpire and tarted throwing things. He threw rain, in 'great sheets, com pletely breaking up both ball- Igame ana picnic. lue rain is reported to have been the tail end of a cloudburst which had previously struck over Bend, causing considerable damage and washing out roads near that city. On the way back. E. C. Pease became more ardent than ever in his support of the bond issue, if if such a thing i3 possible, when the automobile which he was driving skided into a dangerous position on the Tygh grade and became mired. It was necessary to secure a team of horse3 to pull the big ear out. -Chronicle Saturday.

Ball Game A large delegation of Maupin players and fans went to Madras Saturday night to meet the Madas delegation on their home diamond Sunday afternoon. The game was clean and ih teristing to the last. No score wa3 made on either side until the sixth inning when Confer and George Morris run in two scores. The game completed when in the ninth inning Cun ningham knocked a three baser, bringing two more home. Madras players reached third base only three times; score ending 4 to 0. While not turning out very largely .for the game, much credit is due the Madras people for their congenial hospitality. All enjoyed a frollicing good time the entire trip.
