Hobo Holdup and Fight.

At Huntington a couple of nights
ago in a box car. which had come
across the continent, a man named
Ryan was held up and robbed of
$33 by fellow hoboes who had been
travelling across the continent. The
man who was held up is now in the
custody of Chief of Police Jackson.

During one Of the frequent revolu.

government forces at Port au Prince
made n requisition on the authorities
at Cape Haitien for men to aid in put
ting down the uprising.
After somewhat rough experience
of two or three days the authorities got
together the required number of men
and loaded them aboard ship. Then
the following message was sent:

ADDED TESTIMONY.
Baker City Herald Joins the Ciamor
for Another Train.

The demand for a local train on
the o. r. & n. between Idaho points
and Portland is growing stronger each
day and yet there is no intimation
from the company that such a train
will be put on. Pendleton, La Grande.-
Baker City and other inland towns
have petitioned the company to put
on this train and yet there is nothing
doing.
The through trains are so crowded
that it is almost impossible to get
standing room from these inland
towns to Portland. 1t is estimated
that the railroad company has re-
ceived no less than $4,000 for tickets
from Baker City this summer on ac-
count of the Portland exposition, in
addition to the regular travel. This
alone is sufficient to warrant a better
passenger schedule.
All trains are running late. They
are crowded and stuffy. They are
never marked up properly and pas
sengers are kept waiting at the de-
pot for hours and hours.
There is a demand for another
train but it begins to look as If that
was all there is to it.-Baker City
Herald.

Grain Fire on Tygh Ridge.

A fire on Tygh Ridge Thursday
burned over 80 acres of stubble and
destroyed some fencing on a farm be-
longing to Hon. NJ. A. Moody. The
flames then spread to the farm of o.
NJ Bourland the owner of the thresh-
err sparks from which caused the fire,
consuming two large stacks OF headed
grain and 1000 bags just ready for
filling. After this the wind shifted.
and no further damage was done.
The most unfortunate thing about the
fire is that Mr.. Bourland was the
only one who was not fully protected
nv insurance.-The Dalles Chronicle.

Salem, Aug. 14.-The most daring
and most nearly wholesale break in
the history of that institution occur
red at the oregon state reform school
shortly past o'clock Saturday eve
ming.
All the boys of the institution were
off duty, about 100 in number, as Ii
the custom after bathing on Satur-
day afternoon, were on the play
grounds below the building, and near
the Southern Pacific railroad track,
in charge of two officers. The Off
GERS were Henry Bruer, carpenter for
the institution, who Lad charge OF
family No. /, the large boys; ana
Harry Beard, the bandmaster, who
had charge of No. 2, the small boys.
After play, and in answer to the
blowing of the whistle to prepare Tor
supper, the boys were being lined up
to march to the main building. IN
the process of lining up, IL of the boys
broke away and ran towards the rail-
road track. Mr.. Beard was left with
the remaining boys, while Mr.. Bruer
gave pursuit. He caught one OF the
bows before he got over the barbed
wire renee, out IL eSCdpSu. lhSJ ga
as follows:
Bonner, Hutchinson Murray, an In
dian; Thompson, Peel, Thomas,
Southern Oregon; Raviciech, San
Francisco; Jacks, Albany; Potter,
Southern Oregon; Simmons, Portland;
Fitzpatrick, San Francisco.
The first five are from Eastern
Oregon. Jacks is the boy who,
few years ago let himself out Of the
fourth story window, and fell in the
attempt and had his jaw badly
broken.
There is no particular blame to be
attached to anyone for the break. The
two officers in charge could not have
prevented it, unless knowing OF the
plot. Officers are securing the coun-
try in all directions, and all the boys
will no doubt be taken up in time.
After getting over the fence the
boys ran down the railroad track IN
the direction of Salem, but they were
soon in the brush, and they have no
doubt divided and gone in different
directions.

Rice M n Snnnrihc-

IF people would eat plenty of rice
they would not need drugs TO make
them sleep" said New York drug
clerk, pausing for moment in put
ting up a sleeping potion for a wo-
man. There is much said about rice
as Strengthening food, but few Amer
leans know that it has soporific pow
ers. If properly cooked it has. Rice
should be washed many times until the
water no longer appears milky. 1t
should then be soaked a few hours,
salted and boiled rapidly about thirty
minutes. When cooked in this way it
can be eaten each day with relish, and
the person who eats it sleeps well and
dreams not at all"

Want TO Convict Benson.

As Burns had no authority to act
on the proposition, he referred it to
his superior officers, and the latter
are said to have rejected ii because in
the Mitchell case there was plenty Of
evidence already In hand and be-
cause Benson was considered a ring
leader in the California land fraud
cases and the evidence against him
and his associates WAS believed to be
sufficient. Benson was not regarded
as the man to be made witness for
the prosecution, the government be-
ing especially eager to convict him
and Hyde, but still It may be found
expedient to obtain his evidence.
Francis j. Heney, who has made Il
national reputation as an able, fear
less and successful prosecutor of the
rich and influential people charged
with land frauds against the federal
government and who recently convict
ed United States Senator Mitchell, of
Oregon, has returned from Portland
for few days of work in attending
to urgent matters connected with his
private law practice in this city.
He was questioned last night about
the Washington reports concerning
Benson's offer to turn states evil
dence, and said;
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-08-14

The San Francisco Examiner makes
the startling statement that John A.
Benson, the California land thief who
is to be tried soon, is anxious to give
testimony further involving Senator
Mitchell If the charges against Ben
son are dropped.
Following is the Examiners story:
John A. Benson, according to in
formation in government circles at
Washington, stands ready to give
land fraud evidence for the govern
ment on condition that the charges
against him be dropped.
The federal authorities, however,
do not seem to want Benson to turn
states evidence and they say that
they do not regard his testimony as
necessary.
Benson, along with F. A. Hyde and
other San Francisco men, is under in
dictment for land frauds in Cal0or-
mia. The trials are soon to be held
at Washington, d. c.
1t is said that Benson has letters
which If produced in court would be
damaging to Senator Mitchell, of Or
egon, who was recently convicted. The
story is that just before the Mitchell
trial at Portland, Benson offered his
evidence to the government, making
the offer through Secret Service
Agent Burns, who has done the main
part of the work in establishing the
case and collecting the evidence in
California and Oregon. Further
Benson is alleged to have made an
offer to testify against Hyde and the
other Californians provided that in
producing the letters and turning
states evidence ne be given immu-
nifty from further prosecution.

Hcney's Statement.

Whether Benson did or did not
offer to turn states evidence is a mat
ter that l am i'm no position to talk
about. ] have heard a story to that
effect going the rounds, but l do not
care to comment on 1t. The fact that
Benson has letters in which Senator
Mitchell figures was brought out in
the suit of an Oregon man named
Page to recover $4,000 from Benson
as his commission in land transac-
tions. Those letters were not needed
to convict Mitchell. That is all have
to say on the subject"

the disagreement of two juries at
Portland in the case of Congressman
Williamson and his two associate de-
PENDANTS.

third trial of Congressman William

out of the way, will come the trial of

up the Blue mountain reserve case, in
which Mitchell, Williamson and Her.
