Pendleton is to be the distributing
point for the finest grade of horses
sold in the West.
A. C. Ruby & Co., importers of
European horses, has purchased the
oregon Feed Yard on Webb and Aura
streets, and yesterday evening un-
loaded 33 head of the finest Perch
erons, Shires and Belgian horses ever
brought to Oregon. This is to be the
permanent headquarters of the COM
pany, and these breeds will be dis
tributed to the Inland Empire horse
growers from this city.
These magnificent specimens weigh
from 1900 to 2100 pounds and are
brought direct from France, England
and Belgium, A. C. Ruby making a
personal selection of the shipment.
The horses left the port of New York
for Pendleton on October IS. hav-
ing been a full month on the road.
The shipment was made in three spec
ial palace stock cars, furnished in
New York City and used in the en-
tire distance across the continent,
without change.
In the shipment are also six Mann
moth Jacks, from Missouri. which
will be disposed of to Oregon breed
ers.
A. C. Ruby, who is at the head of
the firm, is a resident of Eugene and
has been importing horses to the
West for a number of years. and has
long looked upon Pendleton as the
choice distributing point in the state
for such a business, and has determ-
ined to locate permanently in this
city. He will remove here later and
make this his home.
He makes personal trips to Europe
for his horses, and does not depend
on the "cast-offs" from American
sales. His Percherons were bought
by him in France, the home of the
Percheron, his Shires were bought in
England, on the most noted horse
farms in the world, and his Belgians
were carefully selected from the Bel.
gian herds by himself, and this select
choice ever brought to the state.
The oregon Feed Yard will be i'm.
proved, renovated, enlarged and
made more convenient for handling
these horses and Pendleton will bt
made one of the largest and mos
prominent distributing points for fine
horses in the West

SUES FOR LARGE SUM
Security Trust and Life Insurance
Co., Files a Suit of $4,000
Against H. Ellsworth
MYSTERY IN COMPLAINT FILED

In the circuit court this morning
the Security Trust and Life Insurance
Company, of Philadelphia, filed a
suit demanding $4,000 from Henry
and Ada Ellsworth, of the town of
Salem. The suit is brought to secure
the foreclosure of note and mort
gage, but there was so much Of mys-
terry about the filing of the papers
that the suit has attracted quite lit
tie attention. The suit is filed by a
firm Of Racine attorneys, and when
the papers were recorded with the
clerk of the court on Friday the attor-
neys insisted that the clerk place on
the margin of the summons the exact
hour at which it was filed. On this
account it is supposed that there are
other claims against the property and
the Philadelphia company is attempt
ing to head off the action of the other
claimants.
The summons recites the fact that
the mortgage was made by Mr.. and
Mrs. Ellsworth on Dec. 8, 1908, and as
the note became due yesterday it is
evident that the plaintiffs in the &C
ton had the papers all ready for
fling.
The property in litigation is located
on Powers Lake and it is claimed that
it is one of the most valuable pieces
Of property in that section. 1t is i'm
proved for summer resort purposes.
The complainant in the action has
asked that the defendants be enjoined
from removing any of the property
or damaging the buildings pending
the settlement of the action.

HAD A LARGE SUM OF MONEY
Was,Last Heard of at Ripon Wis.,. Two
Weeks ago and had Started to the
Woods to Buy Wood for the
Yards in That City.

John w. Gettinger, who resides
with his family on Market street, has
been missing for the past two weeks
are entertained by the members of his
family and his other relatives in this
city. Gettinger was dealer in fuel
and had gone to the northern woods
to pur chase wood for markets at Ripon
and other cities, and it is thought by
his relatives that he has been way
1ayed in the woods and robbed.
Mrs. Gettinger, who is still at the
home here with the two children, is
on the verge of nervous collapse and
it is feared that she will suffer from
nervous prostration if the husband
cannot be located in short time.
Gettinger has resided in Kenosha
for the past three months having re
moved to this city from Ripon where
he still has large business interests.
He left Kenosha on Friday, Dec. 9,
and went directly to Ripon to close up
little business there. He had pur
chased large cargo of wood near
Nashcora, Wis, and he went from
Ripon to that village to bring the
wood back. Before leaving Ripon he
wrote a letter to his wife telling her
of his plans and stating that he
would undoubtedly be able to get
home to spend Christmas with the
members of his family. He returned
- Id
of wood and managed to dispose Of it
and it is thought he secured something
like 5000 or 500 for it. He left Ripon
the same night to return to the woods
for another load of wood and that was
the last seen of him.
Hoping against hope the wife of
Gettinger had not asked the assist
ance of the police until last Saturday
and then the police of Ripon and Ke-
nosha were both asked to aid in the
search. It was learned that Gettinger
had left Ripon in the best of health
on Dec. "A, and he planned to be back
in Rlpon in ten days.
Gettinger was not drinking man
and there was absolutely no reason
for him to remain away from his wife
and family. His domestic relations
were of the most pleasant sort and he
had always been great man to stay
at home. He never gamb1ed nor
played cards.
The wife and his relatives here cam
not understand his strange disap-
pearance and they believe he is either
too sick to communicate or that he
has been caught in the woods and
possibly murdered to conceal rob-
berry

Governor LaFoIIette is Asked to
Pardon a Kenosha County
Convict at Waupun.
HAS SERVED A TEN YEAR TERM
Was Sent to the State Prison From
This County in 1896 and Friends
Are Urging His Release.-Sent
Up For Fourteen Years.

Friends of lie Roy King, of this
county, who is now serving fourteen
years term in the state prison at
Waupun, are hopeful that King will
receive a Christmas present from
Governor LaFo1lette tomorrow IN the
way of pardon. Each year the gov
ernor of the state issues a number OF
pardons to long term convicts IN
keeping with the spiri of Christmas,
and Kings friends have urged that
he be included in the list for this
year.
King was sent to the state prison
from this county in the spring of 1896
after being convicted Of the charge OF
s'rape." Since that time it is claimed
that evidence has been discovered
that brought out mitigating circum-
stances in the case and for this reason
repeated efforts have been made to
secure pardon for King. District
Attorney Buckmaster has been con-
WINGED from the first that King was
guilty as charged, and for this reason
he has not done anything to assist in
the different attempts to secure,a par
don for the man. His friends, how
ever, have not given up the fight and
during the last few weeks petitions
have been quietly circulated and
these are now in the hands of the
governor. King has been a model
prisoner, and the time that he has
served, counting the good time al
lowed to him, is equal to ten years
penalty. Since he has been in the
state prison he has never received a
reprimand, and it is thought that this
fact will go long way toward secur-
ing the clemency of the states head
executive in his case.
King formerly lived near the vii
1age of Winthrop Harbor, and up to
the time of his arrest on the serious
charge, for which he is paying the
penalty, he had borne splendid
reputation. He was man of family,
but recently his wife has filed suit
for divorce in Lake county, declaring
that the fact that King was convict
was sufficient reason to show that he
was not fit person to have charge Of
her children.
Since King has been at Waupun he
has never issued statement in re-
gard to his case, but has borne his
punishment in silence. At the time
of his trial he declared that he was
innocent of all wrong doing and at
tempted to show that he was the vic
tim of a conspiracy.
If King is released the pardon will
be sent to Waupun late this after.
noon.
