Who Will Compose Team?
In the event' of an Oregon rifle team

contest, at Sea Girt, X. J.,' which -Lasi

conform with the rules of the national
shoot.! With possibly one exception the
state rules conform to the national reg
ulations, the exception being the dis
tances ior the slow firej competition.
In this case the state distances are 200,
500 and 600 yards, while those of the
government are 200, GOO, $00 and 1,000
yards. The report and bulletin of the
state "competition, which j was held in
Portland last year, shows jthat the win
ning team, Company M iof this city,
made! the highest score pn tho short
rapid fire ranges, while Company D, of
the first separate battalion, made the
highest score on the slow fire, or long
ranges. '
j Some of the Eligibles.
I"raetically the only way in which
possible eligible!? could be speculated
upon for making the state team is to
compare records made at the state com
petition last year, which scores, how
ever, could be improved upon greatly.
The !ompauy M team, which was com
posed of Sergeants Shelton and White
and Privates liailey and Rider, made a
total score of 457 points out of a jnis
sible 500 for both ranges, slow and
rapid fire, or an average jf 114 to the
man; ; Company! D, first separate bat
talion, Captain Iiartell, Sergeant Bur

(From' Sunday ' Daily.
Driving through the crowded streets
of a city with a comparatively unman
ageable horse is a most foolhardy thing
to do, the least that can be said of it.
but it came very near resulting in then
Kuung or crippling Tor lire of the little
5-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. O. G.
Larey, of this city yesterday afternoon
at the corner of , Commercial and Court
streets. As it was the child was knock
ed down and run over by the tractions
animal, while the speetaors stood by
with bated breath crpeeting the child
to be crushed to death every moment.
and miraculously escaped-with several
braises about its body and legs, none
of which are considered of a serious na
lure. Ths horse, it was afterwards
learned, was driven by Bob Stetson, a
trainer at the Fair Gaounds. .
There was an 'unusually large crowd
of people and teams upon the streets
yesterday, which was all tfte more rea
son that an unmanageable horse should
not have "been brought upon the main
thoroughfares. Notwithstanding these
conditions, Stetson came charging down
Commercial street with his horse hitch
ed to a breaking cart. At the south
crossing of the intersection of Commer
cial "fcnd Court streets, Mr. and Mrs. G.
G. Carey and little 5-year-old son were
just "in the act of crossing the street
when theyWespied the horse charging
down upon them. They made an effort
to rescue their child, who was a couple
of paces1 in the lead, from danger's
wav, but they were too late as the
horse was upon them before they hardly
realized it. The cute little fellow was
struck a vicous blow, upon tne head by
the horse's knee and - knocked for a
distance of five feet and the horse and
cart passed directly over his prostrate
form. When the accident happened the
horse was traveling at a brisk trot and,
although the driver made an effort to
check him' when right upon the pedes
trians, he did no't swerve to the right
or left, . pronounced the most reckless
piece of work that has been witnessed
for many a day.
It took place so suddenly and unex
pectedly that the mother and father, as )
well as tne scores of spectators, were
stricken dumb and helpless for the time
being unable to move a hand or say a
word and expecting to see "the innocent
child crushed to death beneath the rest
less f eef of the animal. "When it wss
over with 'the father grabbed his
pcreaming ehila and rushed with him to
the noarest. physieian where a hasty
bet thorough examination was made,
and. to the great relief and satisfaction
of all it was found that no bones were
broken Or that no seVions internal in
juries were received. Mr. and Mrs.
Carey but recently arrived in this city
from the east and have located at 310
Fourteenth street. ,
Needless to say the young man who
was driving the horse did not do the
act wantonly or purposely, being pure
ly accidental, and he was as badly
frightened as any one else and; as re
gretful, too. but it was a very careless
piece of driving and he will doubtless
take warning at his narrow escape from
causing the death of an innocent and
beautiful child and not attempt to drive
through a crowded street with a frac
tious horse, and above all, take partic
ular pains t keep his horse under com
plete control in the future and pay at
tention to where he is going. Stetson
is iaid to be a good driver of, horses
butt all who witnessed the hair-raising
performance agree that it was no place
to jbe driving an unmanageable steed
when there is plenty of room upon the
back streets or at the Fair CI rounds for
thel beraking of animals. He displayed
his gentlemanly qualities, however, in
returning to determine what, if any,
dsniage had been done and to offer to
make amends for it if possible, but, be
yond 'the fright iven the parents and
the nervous shock to the child, the only
material damage resulting was the phy
sician Vvbilt incurred by the examina
tion. ThisMr. Btefson will donbtess
be pleased to make good to the parents

The case of th State of Oregon vs.

with the crime of obtaining money by

a verdict, the defendant being acquit
