James Kennedy, temporary
waiter in the Imperial restaurant, on
saturday night, is now in Jail charged
with the serious offense of having
robbed the establishment of about
$13 more or less.
Kennedy is a transient man here
and, according to the proprietors of
the restaurant, Saturday night was
the first time he had been left in
charge of the place. Instead of
keeping the restaurant open all night
Kennedy closed the place some time
early Sunday morning and disappear
ed taking with him all the money
there was in the register.
Notify Police.
on learning of the theft yesterday
morning the owners notified the po-
lice department of the fact and a
search was instituted for Kennedy.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he
was seen by officer Waters, who
chased him for some little time on the
south hill until Kennedy entered a
hack and got away. Later in the
evening he was found in the Lobby
saloon by Marshal Gurdane and Off
Ger Waters, and placed under arrest.
On being arrested Kennedy admit
ted taking the money and about 50
of the amount was found on his per-
son. He tried to conceal a IS gold
piece by hiding it in his mouth, but
was detected. He claims that he
merely took the money when he
closed the house to go to bed and de-
nies intending to steal it.

TWO PEOPLE INJURED.
A Tramp Rolled From Top of Coach
to the Ground.

Through having her foot caught in
the space between two passenger
coaches a lady passenger on No. 2,
last nights eastbound train, was bad
ly injured while that train was at Ka-
mela. The accident was an unusual
one and the local railroad men are
at loss as to how it could have oc-
CURED.
While the train was stopped several
ladies We're on a car platform and
while standing there were frightened
by seeing a tramp roll off the top of
the coach to the ground below. He
was injured considerably by the fall
and the incident caused some of the
ladies to scream and run back into
the car. In doing so one of them
caught her heel between the two car
platforms and her foot became fast
ened as IN vice by the cars coming
together. 1t was nearly 10 minutes
before the cars could be uncoupled by
the trainmen and in the meantime the
woman was held fast and suffered
greatly. However, it is said that no
bones of her foot were broken. She
was taken to La Grande for treatment
and is said to live in that city.

streets of the city and had franchises
up before the city council for consid-
Grafton Monday evening.
The franchise of the Walla walla
Traction company which was first
presented to the council three weeks
ago, was read for the third time and
was up for final passage when an ad-
journment was taken until next Mon
day evening, whe nthe latter will come
up for final consideration.
The franchise of the Columbia a.
Walla Electric company was read the
first and second times and will be up
for the third reading at the next meet
ing of the council next Monday even
ing. Some minor changes will be
made in the text to comply with the
wishes of the council in reference to
the care of the tracks and street by
the company.
Both companies want to lay their
tracks on Main street, and there was
for a time some discussion of the ad-
visibility of devoting such a large
proportion of the street to that pro-
posed. 1t was pretty clearly under
stood from the tenor of the discussion,
however, that both companies will be
let into the city on an equal footing
and that both will be allowed to use
Main street. The street is full 80 feet
in width and will allow plenty of space
on each side of the tracks should they
be placed side by side in the middle
of the street.-Milton Eagle.

Without any trace of his identity be-
ing found the unknown man who was
found Saturday at mile post 227 with
his back broken, was buried this
afternoon in Olney cemetery at the
county's expense.
This forenoon the jury empanelled
Saturday by Coroner Folsom met in
the undertaking parlors of Baker &
Folsom to investigate the case. How
ever, F. p, Rounds was the only wit
ness examined and after some little
consideration verdict was agreed
upon.
The verdict is decidedly brief and
merely states that "The appearance of
the body indicates that he was killed
by an @. r. & n. train" 1t is signed
by r. NJ. o'Brein. Gus Schmidt w. P.
Temple, j. F, Laing, w. H. Fowler b.
F. Rem, iourymen, and Coroner
Ralph Folsom.
There was absolutely nothing on the
body of the dead man to show who he
was or where he came from. But
that he was a transient man, probably
harvest hand, is indicated by the
sack containing provisions which was
found near him. 1t contained some
meat raw potatoes, a little salt and
in an inside pocket package of pep
per was found.
From the nature of his injuries
Coroner Folsom believes the man was
sitting on the railroad track and was
struck by the pilot of an engine. Why
he remained on the track is mystery.
DR.. w. G. Cole expressed a belief that
the man had fallen from a train and
the fact that he was four miles west
of here and that distance from any
station would lend color to that the
ory, The body was not cut UP at all
