Named Worlds Fair Flyer.
A dispatch from Chicago to the Salt
Lake Tribune states that a solid Pull
man train of 10 cars will be put on the
Hartman lines between Chicago and
Portland, on May /, for the purpose of
accommodating the tourist and Lewis

standard Pullmans, equipped for every
convenience of travel, and stopping only
at division points and to take water and
coal on the engines.
New locomotives are now in readiness
for this train on the Union Pacific, and
preparations are being made to send new
engines to the Short Line and o. r. G.
N, in addition to those already in serv-

AWFUL STORMS IN THE EAST

New York. Jan. 25.-Not since the
blizzard of 1888, by which all storms are
estimated as great or small, has New
York been SO completely snowbound as
it is now The city itself is lying under
foot of snow, which in many places
has been banked by the wind to height
of several feet. Surface travel early in
the day was abandoned, overhead tran
sit was irregular end slow, and it re-
mained for the underground roads to
carry home, SO far as they could reach
within the city limits, the hundreds OF
thousands of workers from the down
town districts. The entire coast line
from the Delaware capes north has been
in the grasp of a storm which, because
of the heavy fall of snow, the intensity
of cold and the force Of the gale, has
exceeded in severity anything expert
enced in years.
From Maryland throughout the mid
die states and the middle Atlantic states
all reports indicate most complete
winter tieup. Far into the west there
is snow and remarkably low tempera-
ture.

STATE LANDS, TOO.

Now Alleged That Puter Has Stolen
5000 Acres of State Lands.
1t is now alleged that land steals from
the state aggregating at least 100000
have been disclosed in the records Of
the state land department, where 5000
acres have been found to have been
procured from the state by what At
torney General Crawford pronounces
forged applications.
With most of these the name OF s. A.
D. Puter is connected, thus involving
that now notorious character with state
as we'll as federal land frauds.
The 10 certificates OF seal covering the
5000 acres mentioned, were issued, so
the attorney general alleges, to fictitious
persons. Title to this land is now vest
ed in the Abiqua Land company, and
the attorney general thinks the state
can begin suit to set aside the deeds and
recover the land.

IN INALBERTACOUNTRY
REAL ESTATE MEN CAN'T GET
NEXT TO MOsGROvE.
Winter Wheat Looks Well-Little
Snow With Thermometer 81
Degrees Below Zero.

Claresholm, Jan. 15.-To the Editor
We entered the path of new year,
and my best wish is that my Umatilla
county friends will be as prosperous this
year as last.
On Christmas and the day before we
had little taste of Alberta winter. AL
though we had only about two inches of
snow, the thermometer went 25 below
zero. Through the day il was fine, the
temperature being 40 above. Right
after New Years we disced for three
days, then it froze up again. Last
Thursday and Friday nights it went ~
below zero. Last night it was only to
zero. Right now, at noon, the sun
shines bright and warm; Al above zero.
Twenty-seven degrees below zero did
not keep Clarence Wright and Frank
Nelson from going to the first dance in
the new hall put up by the Adams
boys five miles east.
Winter wheat looks fine. Although
the ground is frozen two feet deep, il
looks green and thrifty as in the month
of May in Umatilla county. or course
not as tall; it just covers the ground.
They are trying to get an experiment
al farm IN Alberta. They have one east
Of here, but the soil and climate is SO
different in Assiniboia from here that
such farm would be great benefit in
this new country where the farmers have
neither time or money to experiment, as
this is an age of rush and get rich quick.
Last Thursday had the pleasure OF
meeting James Mosgrove in Claresholm.
He tells me that Duncan Mclntyre went
to Nanton to see his sister and two
brothers, Dan and Peter. He is the
same old Jim. He will sit around for
hours at time and will talk on any
subject-but Alberta. He missed his
vocation; he should have been a detec-
tive. He would have been good one.
Without fear of contradiction, can
assert that James has found out more
about the possibilities of Alberta than
any man ever saw in such short
time. His motto is, "silence is wisdom" !"
As general rule the real estate men
here stick to fellow, like those life in
surance agents in the states; they think
that all strangers are their prey. and
accordingly when ever a stranger steps
off the train he is escorted to the hotel,
sometimes with a real estate man on
each side of him. But James tells me
that none have approached him so far.
They don't know what to make OF him.
So far none of them have found out his
business here.
Sometime ago / was in cowboy
camp. They were telling stories and
giving conumdrums. Here is one:
"Why is the Stars and Stripes like
starr" Answer Because it never
falls" Isn't that good, coming from
Alberta? Respectfully Yours,
Nick Taitinger.

CHARGES ARE MADE
ARRESTED ON COMPLAINT OF
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Former Pendleton Bank Cashier Is
Charged With Forgery and Lar
ceny By Bailee.

@. B. Wade, the defaulting cashier of
the First National bank of Pendleton,
was arrested late Tuesday evening for
forgery and larceny by bailee, both
charges being preferred by District At
torney G. W. Phelps. He waived pre-
liminary examination and was held to
answer to the circuit court. The bend
on the first charge was fixed at $500 and
on the second at $4,000.
Wade is charged with forging the
name of Joseph Vey on note of $10,-
600. Vey is an illiterate but wealthy
sheepman, and all his business transac-
tions were conducted by Wade while
cashier of the bank. When Wade was
deposed it was discovered that Vey's
note was not genuine.
The charge of larceny by bailee was
brought for misappropriating funds
amounting to $4,000 belonging to the
Craig estate, of which Wade was ad-
ministrator. His bondsmen, E. j. Som
merville and H. F. Johnson, made good
the loss and are the prosecuting wit
nesses.
Wade's return was for the purpose
OF swearing to affidavits made while he
was administrator of the Despair estate
Phelps learned of his. coming and ar
rived from Heppner in time to file an
information before Wade left Pendle-
ton.
Wade has secured his bondsmen. The
bondsmen for the larceny by bailee
charge are William Slusher, stockman;
]. F. Robinson, laundryman; E. A.
Vaughn, dentist, and Robert Foster,
millman. For the larceny charge the
bondsmen are J. V. Tallman, druggist,
and William Caldwell, stockman.

$4,000 VOLT SHOCK,
PendletOn Lineman Receives An Enor-
NOUS Char &c of Electricity.

Pendleton Lineman Receives An Enor-
NOUS Charge of Electricity.
The Pendleton East Oregonian re-
ports most unusual occurrence. 1t
says
Alexander Smith, lineman employed
by the Northwestern Gas & Electric
company, Wednesday morning received
a shock of $4,000 volts from high
pressure wire, and yet lives. Had he
been standing on damp ground when he
received the shock, it is said, he would
have been instantly killed, but as it is
he did not even lose consciousness, and
walked up town to have his wounds
dressed.
The accident took place at the sub.
station on College street. Smith was
trimming an arc light when bis hands
came in contact with live wire. There
was binding flash and Smith was
knocked to the floor and the sickening
odor of burning flesh filled the room.
DR.. F. w. Vincent, of the electric
company, who dressed Smiths wounds,
said: SIT is impossible to tell just how
serious the mans injuries are. The
flesh is burned from his hands and the
soles of his feet, and the wounds are
necessarily ugly. The shock itself does
not seem to have injured him."

Missouri John "Buncoed. /"

It is reported, says the East Oregon
ian, that John Heathman, Pendleton's
noted marshal, who recently removed
from that city to Portland, was the
victim Of bunco game. He negotiated
for lodging house on his arrival at
Portland, and 1t is said the owner OF the
house hired people to come in and fill
up the rooms on the day Heathman
looked at the property. BY making
Heathman believe the house was doing
a good business, he was able to sell the
property to him at an extortionate price.
As soon as the deal was made the hired
patrons deserted the house and the true
condition was made known. 1t is said
that the loss OF his money by this rascal
ity almost prostrated Mr.. HeathmaD,
who is now critically i'll.

UNAL AN ACTIVE ONE.
Lieuallen VS.. Carmichael, Then Came
Moses, Elmer and Hugh Taylor
and John Bannister.

Justice Chamberlain was about the
busiest man in town Wednesday. In
fact, he had SO much to do that he is
finishing up the job today. AS justice
of the peace he heard the evidence in
the Lieuallen- Carmichael case, and had
just got through with it when Marshal
Gholson tumbled in bunch of four on
him, three charged with fighting and
one with disorderly conduct.
The justice of the peace toga was in
stantly changed for that Of city recorder.
The arrested parties, Hugh, Elmer and
Moses Taylor, and John Bannister, ,'each
entered plea of not guilty, and the
overworked dispenser of justice named
10 o'clock today as the time for trial.
Hugh and Elmer Taylor and John Ban
mister were charged with fighting and
Moses Taylor with disorderly conduct.
The fight started between the two Tay-
lor boys and Bannister, in the street on
the east side of Manassas store and
ended in the Pioneer drugstore, where
Marshal Gholson and the proprietor,
Bruce Wallace, separated the bell
igerents. The trouble originated over
an alleged debt Of small amount, owed
the two Taylor boys by Bannister. AS
the paper goes to press it is announced
Taylor was fined $50 and costs, the boys
$25 each and Bannister dismissed.

New York, Sept. l6.-The finding to-
day Of the body Of hondsome young
woman Of about 25 years of age, lying
bruised and battered IN ciump OF briar
bushes near the Pelham road in the
Bronx revealed one Of the worst crimes
with which the police have had to deal
in many years. An autopsy tonight
showed that the woman had been Grim

There is every indication that she fought
her asailants desperately.
Her garments were torn almost to
shreds. Tonight the body rests in the
Fordham morgue while half a hundred
detectives are endeavoring to establish
the victims identity and find some clue
to her murder. AT the autopsy the ply
