W. 0. 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

Volumes could be written' on th
subject of "opportunity." 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. And so it goea.
Look back into the history of th
successful men and women of today
and you will find that they answered
every call of opportunity they did
not overlook a single bet. Those
who sit with folded hands waiting
for opportuity to walk in and hit
them over the herd with a stuffed
club will never get what is termed
the good things of life. It takes
initiative, hustle, ambition, resource
fulness and stick-toit-ive-ness to win
success". This world does not owe
you a living, and it is not going to,
give it to you you've got to get out
and hustle for it.

SUPREME COURT GIVES
Salem, Ore.,. 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.
