ACCIDlTALlOT
ENDSJBOY'S LIFE
Me'lvln Vernon Dies Of
Wound From .22 Calibre
Rifle.
A fatal accident occurred at the S.
P. Vernon borne a few miles below
town last Friday afternoon when Mel
vln, their four-year old son was ac
cidentally shot with a .22 calibre rifle.
The gun was in the handa of a brother
a few yeara older than the unfortunate
child when the fatal shot occurred.
Tbe boy stepped into a house to pro
cure tbe gun to shoot a hawk. He waa
followed into the building ty little
Melvin, and apparently upon turning
arounnd the gun waa discharged. Tbe
rifle was loaded with a .22 short cart
ridge and the bullet entered the ab
domen and apparently lodged in tbe
muscles of the back.
The child waa given all medical at
tention possible, but without perman
ent results, as on Sunday night the
remaining threada of life were flitted
out and the little soul took its depar
ture into eternity.
The funeral ceremonies, st which
Rev. A. F. Simmons of Lakeview
officiated, were held Monday afternoon
at four o'clock and the bndy waa inter
red in the cemeterv at New Pine
Creek.
The sudden ending of child life, such
as in this case, is indeed sad, and the
bereaved family have the sincere sym
pathy ot the entire community.

STATEllLLlLP
:" 'TO RIDRABBITS
Committee Appointed To
Devise Means for Eradi
cating: Pests.
Portland. Ore.. Aug. IS (Speoial)
The state authorities hsve recently
launched a movement designed to as
sist in the extermination of jackrab
bits wbich have been on the increase
in Central and Eastern Oregon for
years past. So serious bas the rabbit
pest become that Governor West some
time ago appointed a committee to
take charge of the matter and if pos
aible devise means for the relief of
farmers in the afflicted counties. The
meeting wss attended by State Game
Warden Kinley. State Veterinarian W.
H. Lytic. L. A. Lewis, and Prof. H.
W. Hcnshaw, of Washington D.C.,
chief of the biological survey of J the
deparment ot Agiiculture.
Mr. Henrhaw has made a life study
of animals and bas given particular
attention to the rabbit pest in Austral
ia. He save it as his opinion that the
theory of inoculation has little, if any,
practical value. Game Warden Finley
stated that the value of the rabbit
drive had been demonstrated in East
ern Oregon, between 16,000 and 18, WO
having been killed in three drives. It
is said that the great inorease in the
number of rabbita is due to the killing
off ot the covotes. As the coyote force
diminishes that of the rabbit increases
and at the present time they are caus
ing immense dsmage to crops and
gardens.
Sulzer Impeached
Governor William Sulzer of New
York was Impeached last wees by the
democratic majority in tbe assembly
of the New York legislature. The
vote, 79 to 45 csme after an all-night
session and after the governor's wife
had made an eleventh hour effort' to
aave him at the risk of sacrificing her
own reputation. He was charged of
having appropriated campaign contri
butions to bis privste use and having
made nnder oath false statement as to
bis campaign receipts.
The governor will resist removal
from office and haa refused to recognize
the Lieutenant Governor as acting
governor. The hearing of the charges
were set for September 18.
LAKEVIEW
TO HAVE
HOSPITAL
MODERN EQUIPMENT AND
FURNISHINGS
Institution To Be General
Ready for Occupancy September
15, Under Supervision of
Dr. and Mrs. Russell
Work waa commenced Monday of
thia week on a large addition to tbe
Henry Newell property on West Street,
occupied by Dr. and Mrs. J. Irving
Russell, which will be osed for hos
pital purposes. The work is in charge
of Contractor I. A. Underwood and it
will be ready for use by September
15th.
Tbe institution will be known ss the
Lskeview Genersl Hospital, ana while
it will be under the supervision of Dr.
and Mrs. Russell, the latter of whom
ia a graduate nurse, it will be open to
the other physicians of Lskeview
ahonld they desire its use for their pat
ients. It will be constructed to smply
care fur twelve patients at one time,
and trained nnrses will be provided for
their care. Tbe apartmenta will be
furnished throughout with hospital
furnituret and a modernly equipped
surgery will be installed. The rooms
will be plastered and all the interior
finished in white.
Thia property ia considered a good
location for- - (be "purpose, aa while it
ia near the center of town, it ia far
enough out to insure quiet and rest for
patrons.
A hospital for Lakeview will certain
ly fill a long felt need, and that it will
justify ia attested by the fact that Dr.
Russell, alone, finds that he haa not
sufficient quarters to csre for bis
patients, and by making it an institu
tion accessible to all local physicians,
it will prove a great public benefit in
general.
Dr. Russell ia to be commended upon
taking tbe initative in the establish
ment of a hospital here, as it will pro
vide a necessary adjunct to the town
and community.

Escapes from Asylum for
Criminal Insane; Caught
In Canada.
Harry K. Thaw, who killed Stanford
White on the night of J une 25, 1906,
eacaped from the hospital for criminal
insane at Matteawan, New York last
Sunday morning. He made the escape
by cleverly laid plans. An automobile
was stationed just outside an
open gate, and Thaw dashing by the
only guard in sight, was speeding
away in the machine before the ex
cited guard had time to grasp the sit
uation. The machine kept at break
neck speed beaded for the Conneticut
state line 80 miles distant.
Once beyond tbe state's boundaries
Thaw is free, only that he be adjudged
insane in the state to which be has

slayer of White, but on a warrant issued
charging him with oonspirlng with
the aged keeper and five men who
managed the asylum delivery. Years
of residence at tbe asylum and repeat
ed declarations by Tbaw that he would
never attempt escape, except by legal
means,.' had .established him as a
"trust;," which aided him In making
his sensatlonsl escape. -; . ,
Thaw's flight was cut short Tuesday
wbei) he was arrested at Quebec, Can
ada. ' He cow facea deportation on the
ground that be is an undesirable lien
and extradition on a warrant charging
him with bribery. The warrant has

CLOUDBURST ON
THE CHEWAUCAN
Paisley Akin to Lakeview '
In Her Sufferings F r o m
The Elements.
... Chewaacan Press : Paisley and vi
cinity was visited by. a severe tbuqder
and rsin storm, Monday soon. It was
of snort duration but while it lasted
tbe rsin fell In torrenU and some of
tbe crashes of thunder were entirely
too close to be comfortable.
There mast hsve been a cloud burst
in the bills not fsr bsck ot the town,
for soon after the rain ceased the
Cbewaucan ran thlek with mud. Trout
were killed by tbe thousands and many
people gathered along tbe banks and
caught them as they floated past. '
Those not slready dead were floating
on tbe surface gasping for brestb and
it was no trick st sll to rske them out,
either by band or with garden rakes.
It is very probable thst sll tbe trout
of any size which were below the place
where the cloud burst occurred, were
killed. The smaller fish seemed to be
atle to withstand the choking effect
of the mud, aa tbey were seen in tbe
water some time after the laiger onea
had floated down stream.
to exterInate .
the rabbit pest
West Side Farmers Have
Called a Meeting: For
This Purpose.
It is desired that ranchmen meet at
Cottonwood Bridges ranch on the West
Side next Sunday morning for a rabbit
drive. We would like to catch about
150 rabbits. It is also desired .that
several ranchmen bring a fit receptac
le to take home several rabbits each,
some of which are to be turned loose
where rabbits are the most abundant
and also hold several at each ranch to
determine tbe virulence of the disease.
Several ranchmen wbo can spare
time should donate a tew hours this
week with Mr. Arthur in building the
corrsll.
Thia rabbit culture was donated by
the Corvallis Agricultursl College as
a test to determine whether it will be
possible to eradicate the rabbit pest
