Gets In Bath Tub and Turns On Hot Water When Nurse Left for Moment Sarah H. Orr, aged 73 years, an in mate of the Oregon state hospital for the insane, died this morning about 6 1 o'clock as the result of being scalded last nipht iu a bath tub into which she climbed when her nurse's back was turned and turned on the sizzling hot water. The scalding took place last night about-7 o'clock when she was taken to her bath by her nurse and another pa tient. After the bath had been finish ed, she and her attendant started to go from the bath room into the hnll. A cry or scream down the hnll at tracted the attention of the nurse and she went to investigate. Immediately Mrs. Orr darted back into the bath room, jumped into the bath tub, and turned on the scalding hot water. She was burned up to the hips and died from her injuries and the shock this morning. She has no relatives nnd was com mitted from Multnomah. She has been in the hospital since February. The on ly friend -she is known to have i Eu gene Palmer, of Portland. Coroner Clough was notified and took charge of the case. Coroner Clough is of the opinion death was caused more from the shock than from the burns. Just how the ac cident happened cannot be ascertained as the patieuts who were helping at the time w ill say nothing. She was a large woman and weighed about 200 pounds and several months ago suffered a stroke of paralysis and was, consequent ly, very weak.

Two regiments of the Kentucky natioial guard are doing the principal patrol duty in this district. The bitter rivalry between the two factions of government troops' existing since tiencral Jose Murguia replaced General Gonzales as Carranzista com mander at Juarez broke out last night when a major under Murguia with four soldiers shot and killed Baoul Loyn, chief of police at Juarez, on the main street ot the Mexican border city. Loya , was an adherent of the deposed com-1 mander. The shooting occurred near a i cafe in which were a number of Amer-1 leans at the time. Fearing a general outbreak, the Americans were locked in; the cafe, but later were allowed to leave by the rear door. Two other shoot-1 ings took place on the streets later. j' Meagre reports today from the Tor- f reon district declared that part of the Yillista forces in that district were mov-1 ing toward Monterey.

State House News Citizens of Vale have presented a pe tition asking the public service com mission to restrain the Oregon Short Line railroad from pitting into effect its order to discontinue on Saturday, Dei-ember tS, the morning and evening trains and also the rTumlav train from that oint. It is alleged the discontin uance of these trains will work a hard ship on the town, nnd compel the peo ple to stop over night and Sunday at a town 10 miles ,'iway. This condition has been caused by the raihoud extending its line to Crane, about 130 mile farther south than Vale The train schedule that is now in ef fect is suited to the other towns on the line but is bud for Vale. F. H. Knickerbocker, of the O. S. , declares that the people of Vale insist on a ser vice that is entirely unprofitable for the railroad. A hearing is asked as it is stated the train could not earn more than 10c or 13c a train mile. The new schedule will remain in effect until the commission vhanges it.
