MINOR DIED THIS DEATH RESULTS FROM ACCI DENTAL SHOOTING SUNDAY Special Train Takes Injured Man to Portland Last Sight in Race With Death W. O. Minor died in a Portland hospital at 10:15 this morning as the result of an accidental gunshot wound received last Sunday while at a hunting camp at Penland prairie, 30 miles from Heppner. Late yesterday it was decided to take the injured man to Portland and a special train left here at 9:00 o'clock last night connecting with No. 23 at Heppner Junction. Dr. A. D. McMurdo and Mrs. Minor accompan ied him to Portland. At the hospital this morning an examination with the X-ray revealed that the bullet had odged close to the heart and sur geons in attendance at once declared that there was no possible chance for his recovery. W. O. Minor, well known pioneer citizen and capitalist of Heppner, was seriously injur3d last Sunday by the accidental discharge of a high power riflo at a hunting camp at Penland prairie, 30 miles south of Heppner, The ball struck him on top of the right shoulder and ranged down ward into the body and at this writ ing has not been located. Mr. Minor, County Judge Camp bell, W. H. Herrin and W. G. Mc Carty, all well known pioneer resi dents and experienced woodsmen, were camped at Penland prairie hu:it ir.g deer. The men had just finish ed eating dinner and were sit t Lag around camp resting and taJkhis when the aecldei.l occurred. Mr. Minor r.nd Mr. l-k-r.-in had le-uied Iheir rifles agnSnPt a tree ac one side of tho camp, Herrki's f:un luring' a cariridge in the chamber Lrt wit!'.' the saf ly device on. Mr, M'lior and V. G. JtcO.t.'y were situ;::; side ! side on a vi:h Juilge C.:ii!i'..v!' pitting almost1. 'n it)y in Iron I of them ail tal.'tit'g together. Mr. Her rin was ;'t J.e conk tabic getting ready to wash tiic dishes when, a shot rang out. Minor cried out, put his hand !o his side ami said, "I'm shot, boys," and sank to tho ground. The other men rushed to his aid, raised him up and found where tje ball had entered. lie vas in grjat pain and soon became nauseated and vomited freely. He was at ojsce placed in a car and bro'iEhl to town As soon as the party reached a telephone they called for a doctor and Dr. McMurdo met them several miles up Willow creek but did not make an exam inat ion of the wo'trn! until they reached Mr. Miner's koine on Court street. He was still suffer ing from great pain, nausea and ,woal;ness but was easier Moiday morning when the doctor said he would not attempt an X-r.iy as lour as the patient was easier and seemed to improve. The cause of the accident is some thing of a mystery. None of the men were looking toward ''". guns when the explosion occurred out after the shot Herrin's gun was f' und lying on the ground with an en,.ty cartridge in the chamber and wi'h the safety device in place. The ball had plough ed through the ground a distance of some 18 inches and then deflected upward. Mr. Minor was sitting on a log leaning forward tr.d reeei- ;d the ball on top of the shoul or when it seems to have deflecte 1 eownward into the body. No bones were brok en in the shoulder but whether the bullet is lodged in tho back muscles or at a deeper point could not be determined by an external examina tion. The mystery is what caused the gun to fall to the ground. It might have been the swaying of the tree trunk gradually displaced it or it may be that a dog pushed it over. All of the men have been warm personal friends for many years and all the others are much dirt ssed lu:;e four) FORD SEDAN F-R-E-E HEPPXKR-ARIJ.NtiiTOV STAKE LINE STARTED RECENTLY O. H.

It is 01: of the queerest elements that enterfe into the complex existence of presets, day Americans. It means every thing and it means nothing, just a it is handled by different person One person's failure to recognize iti for instance, proves another's chance Most of us claim it has pascsed us byj or we were away from home when ope portunity knocked.

An ex-service man who is eligible to a loan from the state under the state bonus and loan act and who procuress the loan on real estate security required by the act may use the loan for any purpose he desires and is not required to use it for the acquiring of a farm or borne. So stated the Oregon supreme court in an opinion that, it is be lieved, may greatly complicate oper ation of the act since the contention of the bonus and loan commission which was upheld in the lower courts for Marion county is that the loan must bo useQ for the acquiring of a farm or home. Three other test cases were decid ed relative to the bonus act. They establishd the following: That the bonus and loan commis sion does not have the right to de prive the applicant ex-service man of the right to use real estate owned by relatives mentioned in, the act as security for the loan although he himself may not have title to the property. That in the event of the death of the applicant the relatives of the man menioned in -the act do not have the right to procure the loan to which he would have been entitled. That a man who was in trie army prior to June 3, 1915, is not en titled to the benefits under this act. JOE AIKEN STARS AT "TO!
