BURGLAR GETS
oA RICH HAUL

Last Saturday afternoon be-
tween one and two o'clock some
one entered the merchandise
store of Jim Richards on upper
Main street, in lhe absence of
the proprietor, and stole from
the safe sack containing 1920
in gold. the property of the local
lodge of Knights of Pythias and
deposited there for safekeeping
by F. w. Inman, the orders
treasurer. Besides the amount
of the theft, there was over 5000
in the safe at the time which re-
mained untouched. This last
amount was in envelopes and
covered over with papers.
There is not the slightest clew
to the guilty party
A man giving his name as
Ernest Wise, who was about
town that day and whose ac-
tions caused suspicion. was
arrested at Perrin, a station on
the S. p, whittier he had gone
on Monday, and brought back
80 town. but was released as
there was not enough evidence
to detain him.
The burglar gained an en-
trance through the rear door
and the money was not missed
until Sunday morning.
This theft should put the peo-
pie of Fallon on their guard.
This town is not what it used
to be. At the present time there
are some suspicious looking
characters within the town
limits and they should be closely
watched by the police, for If
appearances count for anything
they are not to be trusted fur
ther than bull can be thrown
by the tail.

The demurrer of defendants in
the case of Cunningham. ct ais
vs.. Nezelda Mining Company
was overruled and fifteen days
given them to file their answer.

disturbance between the parties
at law in which Porter strove
to compel the defendant to ac-
knowledge his (Porter's) right
to certain real estate acquired

tiff broke the agreement by a
failure to pay certain sum at

Berlin, Dec. 2r-At Krasnojarski,
Poland, anti-war sympathizers derail-
ed a train conveying 300 reservists
for mobilization at LodZ. Many of the
reservists were killed and injured.
This is the outcome of the riot of

Saturday, when the Russian military
authorities forced the Polish reserv-
lists to start for the recruiting stations
from whence they would be taken to
the front to fight the Japanese.
At Cracow, 'Lodz and other Polish
cities the women attacked the Rus
sian soldiers, when they came to take
the Polish recruits, but were dispers-
ed by repeated charges of the mount
ed guards.

Clear Up Army Scandal.

Washington. Dec, 37.-Congress will
be called upon to investigate a scandal
at Governors Island, N. Y. The
charges made by the special civilian
committee are of so sensational a
nature and involve so many officials
that members of the committee de-
clare the war department could not
be an impartial tribunal.
1t is charged that officers of the
post have misapproprlated $1,000
for their own comfort from the fund
of $4,000 appropriated by congress
for the benefit of the enlisted men,
The money, the committee declares
was used to build an addition to the
officers club house and to refurnisf
and remodel the building.
Only $4,000 of the $4,000 appro
priated was spent on the part of thu
building devoted to enlisted men IL
the construction of a reading room
This so-called reading room, however
contains no books, magazines or news
papers of any kind. The officers a
the post have made a partial admis
sion of the charges, but they declar
that they supposed that was what tn
money was to be used for.

empty bottle of Pendleton booze by
his side. The funeral was held this

Two years ago Five Crows met death
by freezing near the agency.
The death of Ta-car-nie recalls an

That the Weston Normal school
will receive just and liberal treat
ment al the hands OF the coming ses-
sion of the legislature Is the candid
opinion of President X. c. French
who returned this morning from an
extended visit In the Willamette val
ley.
President French has discussed the
subject of the Weston Normal appro-
priation. with influential members OF
the legislature from various william
cite valley counties, and is highly en-
couraged with the prospects.
They all recognize the need OF the
highest educational facilities for the
growing and progressive Eastern Or
egon section, and at least. all seem
willing to grant this school anything
necessary to its maintenance and de-
velopment.
! The amount asked for by the re-
gents Of the Weston Normal will be
s5O. .0OO-s25,OO0 OF this for mainte-
nance for the next two years, and
s25. 900 for new dormitory and other
| necessary improvements.
These improvements are absolute
| ly necessary for the proper care oi
its students. The accommodations are
tnow crowded TO the limit, and Wes-
ton being but n small town. the out
side accommodation must necessarily
be limited.
President French feels highly en-
couraged with the comparative show
ing made by the normal. The worl
done and the cost OF maintenanc'
compares very favorably with that o
the Monmouth and Drain Norma
schools. and the Monmouth school u
asking $1,000 for maintenance TO
the coming two years and sSS,OOo 10
new buildings making total OF 'SS'
600 needed for that school
Considering the fact that the Yves
: ton Normal is in a practically nes
: field. where II is the only state insti
tuition, and therefore must bear al
the burden Of higher education u
: this extensive section, Presiden
5 French feels that the request for bu
e $50. 900 for this school under the cir
n cumstances is moderate reques
: which will be granted without de
' bate. perhaps.

NEW JuplcIAL DISTRICT
Baker County May he Made sepa-
rnte District.

The proposal of dividing the Eighth
judicial district and placing Baker
county IN separate district will be
before the legislature at the coming
session.
A report from Baker City says that
State Senator John l.. Rand OF Baker
county, has announced his intention
TO Introduce bill at the next session
Of the legislature to create a new ju-
dicial district by dividing the Eighth
district. now composed of Baker.
Union aud wallowa counties, leaving
Union and wallowa in the old district
and making "a new district OF Baker
county. A bill TO this effect was up
before the last regular session. but
failed TO pass.
The leading attorneys all agree that
the creation Of another judicial dis
uict. TO be comprised OF Baker coun-
ty, Is necessary, and there will be no
opposition to the passage OF the bill
from this end of the state.

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.
House Took Fire From TaIIow
Candle.

A 5-year-old boy named Cain, the
stepson OF John Hanly, was burned 10
a crisp last Friday morning IN a fire
that destroyed the latter's house down
Crooked river, near Rimrock. says the
sumpter Miner. Particulars are mea-
ger. but from what we have been
able to learn II seems that the little
fellow was one Of the several children
who slept upstairs, while the parents
occupied room downstairs. They
had lighted themselves By means OF
candle, without a candlestick which
was placed on a stand table, and the
children, as was their custom, went
10 bed leaving II burning. expecting
10 chat a while and then blow Il out.
