A dozen old indictments werc dismissed yes
terday in Part l.. General Sessions, by Judge
Mcmahon. Ono of them was that for bribery
against Policeman Charles LEM. who for a dog
on years was detailed on special duty at the Fire
Marshals office. He was charged with accept
Ing 500 from Firebug Louis Gordon. Gordon's
shirt factory, at 81 Walker street, was set on
IRE on July %. 1894, and LEM was sent by the
ERE NarBhnl 20 make an Investigation. 1t was
claimed that he reported that there was nothing
suspicious about the IRE. LEM was suspended
from duty by the Police Commissioners on June
rs, 1879, but has been drawing his salary since,
and the, probabilities are that he will now be re.
~instated on the force. Insufficient evidence was
the reason given for the dismissal OF tho indict.

his money and valuables with the Sergeant for

the rule heretofore that when q policeman made
an arrest he took the prisoner to the nearest
signal box, summoned the patrol wagon, and
turned the prisoner over to tho custody of the
reserve policeman who accompanied tho wagon.
The reserve man searched the prisoner at tho
station. The Sergeant took charge of whatever
money or property was found on tho prisoner
and delivered them tho next morning to tho
they were returned to tho owner. Many com-
plants have been made by men arrested for
being drunk that tho money returned to them
was not SO much as they had when arrested.
Tho now order provides that the policeman
making the arrest shall accompany the prisoner
to the police station, and tho reserve policeman
will cover the post until the other returns, un.
less otherwise ordered in special cases. The
Sergeant at the desk will inclose the property
taken from prisoners in an envelope properly
marked, and the policeman in the case will open
the envelope, count the money. and examine tho
other property before returning them to the
owner and getting u receipt for them. Tho POI

gated many of the complaints and is convinced
that they arc groundless, but he believes that
the now arrangement will be more satisfactory.

see that the plaintiff was not injured. The case

To Bring Us Trade.

A scheme is on foot to construct
wagon road from Fossil to The Dalles
and also to build bridge across the
John Day on a road leading from
Canyon City to Fossil. A subscription
to raise funds for the purpose has been
circulated in The Dalles, and has been
so literally signed, that if it receives
like encouragement in other interested
places, the road is assured. Such a
road would be of considerable advant-
age to The Dalles, since it would di-
vert considerable amount of trade
from the upper John Day, that now
goes to Heppner, to this place. On
account of the low freight rates to be
had here, if good wagon road were
built to Fossil, people from the John
Day would come here in preference to
going to Heppner, and the majority
of the freight for Canyon City, John
Day Town and Prairie City would be
hauled from The Dalles, as it formerly
was before the branch road to Heppner
was built. The Dalles can we'll afford
to lend the scheme encouragement.

perado. When they had approached
within: about 100 yards of the wine
house, Brown mounted his horse, and
disregarded the commands of the Of
ficers to surrender, whereupon they
opened fire and sent about dozen
leaden messengers after him, but none
took effect. Brown, being mounted
on a fine horse, soon put sufficient
distance between him and his pursuers
that he was safe from their fire and es-
capped around ledge of rocks, while
the officers returned to town, deter
mined to take lessons in workmanship
under the tutorship of Capt. A. Ad.
Keller at the rifle range. Brown is

and the janitor of the school buildings
were reelected for the coming year.
tt was also determined to retain Prof.
Gavin as principal, although he had
rendered his resignation some months
ago and Prof. Landers had been elected
to the position of principal. However
circumstances over which Prof. Gavin
had no control made it necessary for
him to continue in school work another
year, therefore Prof. Landers request
ed the board to accept his resignation
and reinstate Prof Gavin in his former
position. 1t being agreeable to both
the professors and also to the board,
this action was taken and Prof. Lam
ders was again elected to the position
of first assistant.

Here is a Kick.
To the Editor

10 the Editor.
1 have been reading your excellent
paper for long time, and in the main
find it very satisfactory newspaper,
but there is one feature that aggra-
Yates me beyond measure and makes
me swear (sometime) that will stop
the sheet. The thing that complain
of is those reading notices, which be-
gin with an interesting, newsy item
and end up with 'the best and most
popular route between st. Paul and
Chicago, and the best dining car SER
vice in the world, is via the Wisconsin
Central Lines" The statement is
truthful enough, and suppose that j.
C. Pond, G. P. A., Milwaukee, Wis,
or Geo. S. Batty, General Agent, 24O
Stark Street, Portland, Or, find this
good way to meet and inform the trav-
cling public of the advantages Of
travelling over their lines.
Yours truly,
KATIE CARSON.
