one of the most amusing and startling
incidents ever experienced in 80
years railroading.
IT was coming around the curve into

A. NJ. Tinker, special inspector
for the interior department, arrived
in the city Saturday night and went to
the ,Umatilla agency, presumably to
assist in clearing up the difficulties
now besetting the officials there. al
though Mr.. Tinker came under seal
ed orders and did not know himself
what he would be called upon to do
until he reached the agency and open
ed his instructions from the DEPART
ment.
Chief Clerk Charles NJ Robinson, of
the Umatilla agency, has filed an an
swer to the charges made against him
by Agent ]. j. McKoin, and the entire
matter will be thoroughly lnvestigat-
ed by the department 1t is not known
whether the charges against Mr.. Rob-
inson will be upheld, and only a COM
plete investigation of the matter will
tell the outcome.
The renters and Indians are divided
in their sympathies and preference as
between Agent McKoin and Clerk
Robinson, and Mr.. Robinson claims to
be able to clear up everything brought
against him in the charges. In the
meantime the investigation in proceed
ing, and friends of both parties hope
for an amicable settlement of the diff
ferences.
While Agent McKoin has complete
authority to discharge employees of the
agency, yet the matter of charges
against Mr.. Robinson will be allowed
to pass before the department rather
than that Mr.. McKoin pass finally up
on them himself, and it is thought
that satisfactory understanding can
be reached.

Formerly Resident of Kamela, Hurt
in Hotel Fire.

The walla Walla Union gives the
following account of the injury of Ell
mer Swauger, formerly of Kamela, in
the recent fire in Hotel Dacres in
Walla Walla:
Elmer Swauger an employe of the
Washington & Columbia River rail-
road, was injured in the fire in the
Hotel Decres by a falling timber.
Swauger was helping with a hose
which was let down through the roof,
when a timber overhead which had

permit him to move much, it is not
thought it will result seriously.

SALOON MAN ARRESTED.

With Circulating Obscene Iitcra'

Sheriff Taylor went to Athena this
morning to serve a warrant ON Robert
Genevay. a saloon man charged with
circulating obscene literature. The in
formation was filed with District At
torney Phelps several. days ago by
residents of Athena. and the matter
was deemed of sufficient Importance
to cause the arrest of Genevay.
The cards issued by Genevay are
unspeakably vulgar and as they have
been circulated as an advertisement of
Genevays saloon wilfully and i'm direct
violation of the law the people of
Athena are much interested in seeing
him given the limit Of the law.

Who will be councilman from the
First ward in place of Walter Wells
resigned?
This question is now being discussed
by residents of the First ward, in view
of the fact that Mayor Matlock will
return from Nome soon, and the APP
pointment will be made.
So far the only names mentioned
are those of W. P. Temple and C. W.
Brownfield, both of whom were can
didates for councilmen in the last city
election. they being defeated by Wells
and Ferguson.
1t is said that Mayor Matlock will
most likely favor the selection OF
Brownfield, but friends of Temple say
he should be appointed as he was de-
feated by Wells, and would be the log
ical choice of the people in Wells
place, while Brownfield was defeated
at the polls by Ferguson and should
not be considered in the race for
Wells place.
Whoever is appointed to the place
will have but little over five months
to serve as Wells term would have ex-
pired next January and new coun-
Gilman will be elected for that ward in
the coming city election in December
The first ward includes all that por-
ton of the city east of Vincent street
Four councilmen will be elected in
December in places of Wells, Sewell
Johnson and Dickson. The holdover
councilmen are Murphy, Rem, Fer
guson and Swearingen.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE LIGHT.

Out of the City-Pastors Out of
Town.
Church attendance is very light in
all Pendleton churches now, owing to
the absence of many of the members
and especially many of the active
workers from the city.
Regular services are held in all the
churches, but the pews are not nearly
all filled. Rev. Robert Warner of the
NJ. E. church, is now in Skamania
county, Wash, on an outing, and Rev.
T. r. Egerton of the Congregational
church is doing missionary work in
the wilds of Baker and Malheur coun-
ty. Other pastors will take short va
cations during the summer, but none
of them have definitely decided upon
their plans as yet.

Speculation is also heard in differ

Natlock will b a candidate for re-elec-

The main issue in the coming election
is conceded by all to be the high IL
cense question and unless Mayor Mat

opposition to his reelection.

been experienced in the price of sugar
in this city in the past three days.
The best grade OF fruit granulated
is now selling for $6.25, while it has
been Sc for some time past. The war
is caused by an effort of the Spreckles
people to corner the trade in San

It is possible that the price will ad-
