and thinking It was mndo by tho
deer ho was following,' Manuel took
aim with his rlflo and fired. On go
ing to see tho result of his shot he
found his companion expiring, a bul
let wound of tho head evincing the
agency of death. Krom all appear
ances, It was apparent from tho
place whero tho body was found that

PLANS TO STOP GRAFT
(Continued from page one)
niogram for tho navy was decided
upon, Mr. Daniels said:
Wise men In and out of tho navy
believe that the program, Involving'
an expenditure of flvo hundred mil
lion dollars will give us a navy well
proportioned and far better than so
large a program if It should bo au
thorized In ploco-meal, year by year.
Tho program is based upon all that
could bo loam ml by naval experts in
Kurone and our naval statesmen in
America."
Hope that an International under
etandiug ovontually might be readied
by tho naval powers was oxpreMOd by
tho secretary.
"I trust." h Mid. "that this coun
try will take Hi Initiative and that
Htpi will be taken by a conference
of all the jouers to discuss reduction
of teh lieav rot or the ami) and
uar."
The strange story of n dog that

villes," In the Sherlock Holmes mys

University of Oregon from n woman
resident of Derby, Jackson county,
Oregon, says tho Uugcnc Register.
With tho story camo the head or
the dog, which tho university was
asked to examine ror traces of rabies.
Tho lotter follows In pnrt:
"Wo went out to visit ono of our
neighbors In tho evening, nnd on re
turning snw n bright light near tho
house that looked an largo as a light
ed lantern In tho distance. On In
vestigation wo found our dog froth
ing at tho mouth, nnd tho light was
coming from tho dog's mouth. The
dog was snapping and digging its
mouth and fnco in the eatth. Wo
went up to It nnd It started toward
us, so wo bent a hasty retreat Into
tho house, and the dog turned and
went off, still showing tho light at
Its mouth nnd snapping. ,.,....
"Krom the safety of tho houso wo
called tho dog, nnd after qulto a
time it camo in a glad manner but
still frothing and snapping. It want
ed to Jump up to the window whero
wo were, nnd for safety wo took a
gun nnd killed it.
"The dog was n thoroughbred Aire
dale, ono year old. Tour witnessed
tho sight, two men and two women.
Kindly let un know tho cause of tho
dog's acting in this way."

At n meeting of the city council
Tuesday night a compromise wns af
fected between the city nnd Southern
Pacific on the surplus whistling niiis
nnec, Assistnnt Superintendent Fred
Hnnsen, representing the railroad,
and Acting Mayor Mcdynski the city.
Mi. Hansen said ho would instruct
the engineers of trains to pull lightly
mi the whistle cord in the future,
shorten tho blasts and do all in U
power to modcrnte the noise. Ile
gnrding tho jnyhawker signs at the
Main-street ciossing, Mr. Hansen
said the railroad had nothing ut all
to do the blamo rested with the state
railway commission. Dut ho stilted
ie laiew of no better crossing signs
everybody recognized them; they wero
tho standard crossing signs of tho
world.
In the course of the nrgnment on
tho whistling, it wns learned thnt the
yard-limit posts had been removed
in this city, and thnt the steam sig
nal" were used as u sal'ety-inst pre
caution. It wns n safeguard against
rear-end collisions. If one occurred,
Mr. Hnnsen snid they asked him about
it. Ho wns responsible, but if the
city and the men above him wanted
to take the chance, they could, but
the responsibility would be shifted.
He said that the S. P. had no desire
to aggravate the community by whis
tling, and asked for time to remedy
conditions.
It was proposed that un iron gate
be installed at Main sheet in place
of the jnyhawker signs. Mr. Hansen
said that the Kock Island system had
ricd these and found that uutoists
ran through and under them with iui
puijity. He did not favor the iron
gate plan.
Dining the course of Mr. Hansen's
remarks two engines began whistling,
necessitating his waiting till they
were through heforo continuing.
