East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-08-25

CATION last year at El Paso had prom
ised to throw its strength to Boise
this year, and although this was de-
MED most strenuously by the Denver
workers, It had its effect. And all
through the discussion this morning
the statement, Denver has had 1t
twice before; give Boise a chance"
fell upon the ears of the disinterested
delegations with unmistakable effect
When the name OF Utah was called
in the roll of nominations and John
Henry Smith arose and offered the
entire ballot of the big Utah delega-
ton, Denver saw her chances paling
into the mists.
a recess of five minutes was taken
to enable the delegates to get together
and prepare their votes, and when the
congress was called together to ballot,
Boise Citys victory was complete. AL
though Denver fought hard for the
next congress, 1t lost the battle in
good grace. The delegates seemed to
feel that Boise was entitled to It. and
when the tide set in against them,
yielded the losing field without a
struggle.

duplicating himself in the Van Dram
murder mystery, is now in Jail in
that city, and will be tried for extor-
ton.
He wrote a letter to Kaspar Van
Dram limiting that he would keep some
alleged secrets for a price, and at the
same time left another letter on his
person where 1t could be found by de-
tectives when he was searched, and
then called up the police office and
told where he could be found stand
ing on the street
He was arrested by detectives and
severely questioned and at first it was
thought he possibly knew something
of the crime. However, after he had
been in Jail for a few days he con-
fessed that he had written the letters
and then caused himself to be arrested
purposely, in hopes that he would be
hanged for the crime, as he was tired
of living.
He gave Portland papers an inter-
view in which he recited his misera-
BILE career of petty crime and said that
as he seemed doomed to such a worth
less life he would end 1t by being
hanged for this murder, but after be-
ing in Jail for a time and given an
opportunity to mediate, he changed
his mind and confessed to his wilful
act of duplicating himself in the mat
ter.
He will be tried for attempting to
extort money from Van Dram by his
threatening letter.

The finest climate and the most
pleasant seaside resort in the world"
is the way Gus LaFontaine describes
the California coast near Los Angeles.
Mr.. and Mrs. LaFontaine and fam
lily returned last evening from a pro-
tracted visit to Ocean Park, Long
Beach. Los Angeles and other sum-
mer resorts along the Southern Cali
fornia coast and are delighted with
their experiences there.
The country is beautiful, the cli-
mate mild and bracing, owing to the
sea breeze. and the scenery magnifi-
cent everywhere. The drives and
avenues reaching out from Los Ange-
les are superb and the street-car SER
vice is the best to be found in any
city on the coast
Living expenses are not higher
there than in Pendleton and many
people from all over the United States
rent cottages there for the summer
months.
Mr.. LaFontaine, who is an enthusi-
astic horseman, says he saw the fin
est driving and saddle horses and the
finest turnouts there that he ever saw
anywhere.
All the little places near Los An
geles are building up rapidly and be
says it will be but a few years until
the city and it's dozens of delightful
suburbs will be one continuous city
of business blocks and magnificent
residences.
George. their eldest son, will return
to Los Angeles soon to attend school
during the coming year. The family
is delighted to return to Oregon.

LEAPED FROM CAR WINDOW.
Joseph Lawrence, Convict Captured
Hero. Determined to Escape.

AS the Short Line train bearing
Joseph Lawrence, the Idaho convict
who was captured in this city last
Tuesday. was pulling out of the sta
tion at Payette, Idaho, Wednesday
night, Lawrence rushed away from
Deputy Warden James Mills OF ahe
penitentiary who was in charge OF
the prisoner, and leaped from the
car window to the ground.
At almost the same instant Mills
leaped through the window after the
prisoner and alighted on the ground
beside him, with his revolver covering
the would-be escape.
The train was not moving very fast
as it was just leaving the depot and
had not gained sufficient speed to
make the leap perilous, but as none
of the trainmen saw the escape, the
train was not stopped and the warden
and his prisoner were compelled to
wait in Payette until the arrival of
No. 6, the evening train before pro-
ceeding to Boise.

Back from Granseville.

p. r. Belts, who has been in the
Grangeville district for the past six
weeks, returned last night and is
highly pleased with the appearance
of that rich Idaho district. AS yet
the resources are almost wholly un-
developed because of a lack of trans
portation. and it is now feared that
the proposed railroad which has been
talked of for some time will not be
built. Crops are excellent this seas
on and the mines adjacent are being
Sorked full capacity. When once
be country is given railroad facili-
ties, he expects it to be one of the
best sections Of the entire Pacific
coast.

Peter Corbett, an Indian of the res
ervation was locked in the county
Jail about $3.50 last evening, charged
with having robbed Allan Patawa, a
fellow tribesman, of watch. Cor
bett was arrested yesterday and
brought before Commissioner John
Haley, Jr. He will be given an ex-
animation soon, and unless he can
prove his innocence, will be held for
the federal grand jury.
According to the story as told by
Patawa he became drunk on Satur-
day, August ~, and as he was going
home he passed by Corbett's place
on the reservation. While there be
was taken by Corbett and tied up and
left SO over night. The next morning
he says he awoke and was sobered.
However. when he looked for his
watch 1t was gone. He suspected
Corbett of having stolen It, and he
made a search of the Pendleton pawn
shops to find his timepiece. This he
did in one of the places on Cotton
wood street. and according to the
owner of the shop it had been pawne d
by Corbett for the sum of $1.25.
With the above information for
proof, Patawa then had Corbett ar
rested. However, the prisoner denies
that he stole the watch, though he
admits that he pawned it. According
to his tale the watch was found by his
wife, who gave it to him, and he is
not guilty of thievery.

LauSe OF LOckjaW.

Lock1aw, or tetanus, is caused by
a bacillus or germ which exists
plentifully in street dirt. 1t is in
active SO long as exposed to the air
but when carried beneath the skin,
as.in the wounds caused by percus-
sion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ
is reused to activity and produces
the most virulent poison known.
These germs may be destroyed and
all danger of lockjaw avoided by
applying Chamberlain Pain Balm
freely as soon as the injury is re-
ceived. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes cuts, bruises and like
injuries to heal without maturation
and in one-third the time required
by the usual treatment. Sold by
