THOUGHTFUL ACT.
''Si' Smith Prevented More Serious

Had 1t not been for the thoughtful
ness of o. r. & n. Brakeman "Si'
Smith on train No. 5, last Thursday
morning, the wreck at Bridal Veil
would have been accompanied by even
more disastrous results.
Smith heard the torpedoes explode,
and saw that the engine on his train
was beyond control for some reason,
and knowing that another train must
be close at hand, pulled the emer-
gency air and broke the coupling be-
tween the engine and his train and
materially checked the speed of No. 5
before it crashed into the rear end of
No. 3, thus preventing more terrible
damage to both trains.
The engine, when released from
the train by the breaking of the coup
ling, dashed ahead a short distance
and struck the rear end of the Pull
man, and Immediately after the dis
connected train dashed into the rear
of the engine, causing two shocks, but
neither of which was as severe as
would have been the crash had the
brakeman not pulled the emergency
air.
Brakeman Smith is highly COM
mended by the company for his
tohughtfulness. He runs into PEN
dleton with Conductor William Ma
her, who was in charge of train No. o..

PETITION TO o. r. & n.
Superintendent Buckley Will Consider
the Matter of Paving on Main Street
for the Railroad Company.

Since the O. R. & n. company owns
more property on Main street that will
be affected by the proposed paving,
than any other property holder, its de-
cision in the matter of signing the pc
tition for the paving is awaited with
considerable interest.
Agent E. C. Smith last evening for
warded a copy of the petition asking
for the paving to General Superinten-
dent NJ ]. Buckley, at Portland, and
the matter will be taken up by the Of.
ficials Immediately, 1t is believed
that the company will agree to the i'm
provement as it would advance the
value of its property more, perhaps,
than that of any other single taxpayer
interested,

O. II. & n. Maps I'm Demand.

The excellent maps of Oregon.
Washington and Idaho, just issued by
the o. II. & N. company, are in great
demand among the country schools of
Umatilla county. Several districts
have made requests for them and 1t Is
probable that most of the rural dis
tricts in the county will be supplied
with them. The maps are complete
in every detail and give much authen-
tic and accurate information concern
ing the northwest states. Aside from
showing the rail and wagon roads,
they give all forest and irrigation re-
serves, distances from place to place
and other interesting features.

PIANOS
Guaranteed as by
q Bdnk

The pianos we sell at Eilers Piano
House are not actually guaranteed by
bank, but the guarantee is none the
less strong. Our house has a larger
capital than 80 per cent of the banks
of the state of Washington, and with
every dollar of it we are ready to back
up our word.
No piano finds place on our floor
until 1t has been so thoroughly tested
that its quality is beyond all doubt.
We have to maintain the high stand
ing and reputation this house has in
this territory for selling good grade
pianos at the lowest western prices,
and we cannot afford to sell a single
piano about which there is the least
shadow of doubt.
At the same time we have instru-
ments to suit every purse. You must
not make the mistake of judging a
piano by its prices, as our enormous
business gives us such buying, ship
ping and selling facilities that we can
offer you good pianos at a lower price
than the little dealer can sell cheap"
ones. Remember. that when we sell
you piano at S165.OO 1t Is guaran-
teed as by bank, and with out capi-
tai we can sell it to you at the same
price or cash or on easy terms.

REvOL UTIONISI SALC|DO WAS
 NOT SHOT
immigration Com. Webb Says
 Mexicans Have Not Shot Him-He Is Held With z
 Suspects in Hermosillo Jail.
fSpecial to Reyiew.o


 PHOENIX. Oct. 1S.-George Webb, immigration inspector for Arizona and New Mexico. arrived in the capital this morning.
 From Webb it is learned that Abranl Saicido. leader of the Mexican revoiu tionists. arrested at Douglas. has noi been shot to death by the Mexican oi- ficers, as reported.
 Salcido. with six others. is in 1aii at Hermosille, awaiting trial on a charge of treason and revolutionary ac- tions. They are being well cared TOT and will be given hearings according to the laws of their country. If con victed they will be sentenced to serve time
 Webh is now holding for trial two mere Mexicans. who were citlzens Q, tbe United States, and will be tried in this country. Their testimony ana what they know will be necessary 10 the Mexican government before 1t can nrosecute the seven revclutionists neio at Hermosillo
 Webb co-reots an impression that the United States purposeiy turned over 10 the Mexican government tne men with the exception of Salcido.
 Webb as commissioner. ordered the men deported. having found them to he in the United States contrary to fbe immigration laws. He took them to Nogales. and there turned them loose on the Mexican side ot the me,
 Mexican officers were on nand' anu immediately placed them under arresl' having been on the watch for tneui after hearing that Webb and ms oep uties had started with the men iroih Tucson. They were taken to hermo- silio 10 be held there for trial-
 That the revolutionists will not pc shot down has been promised by .ne Mexican government. Before taklne then, ,o Mexico, Webb had the mater un with the department al Wdsniis ton n c which received assurances yrom inc Mexican officials that the men would be given fair and impar- .iaI hearing according to the ia"s srnverning such cases as theirs in Mexico.
 During the past few months Com ,,,issioner Webb's department mas been devoting much of its time to the canture and deportation Of aliens who have entered this country con .4rarv to the laws This has resulted Sn inc arrest and deportation of iarse number of them.
 By enforcing the head tax law, xyahh is collecting abuot $zoo month along the Arizona and New Mexico border. Each alien who en- ters the country is obliged to pay 2 head tax of g. In addition he must nave enough means to take nm .o his alleged destination and 10 pc III good bodily health. :.
 Strict enforcement of the law IS keeping out a large number Of unde- sirable citizens, though it proves no restriction to the better class of Mex ican citizens who are made as wei come as people from any foreign country.

CONFESSED ROBBER
 ASKS FOR THE LIMIT
William Douglas, Who Looted Post Office, Begs for
 Long Sentence.
Special to Review.)

PHOENIX, oct. 1S.-'I plead guilty. l do not ask for leniency. I want the maximum penalty" William Douglas, confessed robber of the Mesa postoffice, surprised Jus tice Kent, the attorney, court attend ants and spectators by his strange declaration.
 Instead of giving him the extreme penalty as Douglas requested. Jus tice Kent sentenced him to serve two years at hard labor in the Yuma peni- tentiary.
 Though Douglas confessed his guilt and plead guilty to the robbery of the Mesa postoffice of a money package containing $1500, there is no certainty that he actually committed the crime as he claims.
 Postmaster Newell says the money package was locked in safe at the time Douglas claims he found it under a bench and after securing the money made a trip to the City of Mexico.
 Douglas is the victim of loath- some disease, and does not deny that he wants to get into prison, hoping that he will get treatment there which will relieve him. He is considered a strange case by all who are familiar with the details.

DOUGLAS S AFTER
 SMOOTH FORGERS Lived Under Different Names in Copper City and Issued Bad Checks,
(Snecial to Reviexl

y
 PHOENIX, Oct. 1S.-Douglas of- ficers hold warrants for the arrest of Edwin Baer and his wife, who are under arrest on charges of uttering and passing five forged checks in Phoenix
 Sheriff Walker today received let ger from Constable A. ]. Shropshire of Douglas, stating that Baer and his wife are wanted there for cashing bad .chechs..s5
 All possibility of Baer and his wife having operated here as the result of an extremity is destroyed by Shrop- shire's letter, which brands them as iorgers of no common order.
 Constable Shropshire states that while the pair was in Douglas they lived under the names of Mrs. David M Clark and Charles W. King. They gave no evidence of the fact that they were married.
 Clark is one of the names used by the forgers in the checks they cashed in Phoenix. Baer's sister in New York, who is married, is named King
 Shropshire says the Douglas courts want Baer and his wife bad. Yes terday the woman called on Baer in the county jail. going through the same Mysteries that have marked all their meetings in jail.

 The explosion ocurred while the train was going at the rate of about 90 miles an hour. It is said that slight trouble had been experienced with the boiler on the run, but it was not re- garded as serious. When the explo- sion came Gallagher, the head brake nan, was in the cab with the engin- eer and fireman.
