ARRANGING THE COURT DOCKET
Most Important Case Involves En-
bezzlement Charges.

Last evening meeting of attorneys
was held in the office of Circuit
Judge Ellis for the purpose of set
ting cases for trial at the January
session of court. which will COM
mence next Monday morning.
There are quite number OF cases
on the docket, and If they are all
brought to trial at the coming session.
two weeks time or more will be
taken. 1t is very probable, however,
that some of the cases will not be
ready for trial.
OF the criminal cases on the docket
that of C. p. Davis, charged with en-
bezzlement of funds in the sheriff
office. is of most importance. From
appearances now there is little doubt
but that the case will be fought Out
at the Janusry term. At the request
of the defense Judge Ellis has issued
| orders for witnesses from outside the
county. An interesting legal fight Is
looked for in the Davis case, as the
defendant will be represented by botf
the firm of Carter, Raley & Raley anc
| James A. Fee.

not observed in the present fight, and
consequently the mayor may find 1t
his duty to order another election,
whether he be favorable to Wilson or
not.
Should Wilson not be confirmed,
and the selection of a marshal be
again passed up to the council there
may be a very interesting fight, as
the council would be equally divided
provided they line up as at present.
With such division either side could
prevent an election by absenting them
selves, should they choose to use such
tactics. whether the Kinsella men
would again insist upon his selection
in case of another vote, remains to
be seen. However, the prevailing
opinion seems to be that another man
would more likely be taken up, and
in such case the honor may again fall
to Orville Coffman, present incum-
bent.

JEROME X. JEROME HERE.
ist Passed Through Pendleton to
DOrtlnnd

For just a few moments yesterday
evening Pendleton was favored with
the presence of Jerome X. Jerome,
author of idle Thoughts of an Idle
Fellow" and other pretty good things
the noted English humorist and lee
turer, although but few Pendleton
people knew of it at the time.
Mr.. Jerome was scheduled to lee
ture at Whitman college last night,
but owing to the delay of his train,
he did not make connections with
the Spokane train here yesterday
morning and so he Cancelled the Whit
man date and proceeded on to Port
land.
| This is his first trip into the wilds
| of the northwest and he said to th'
East Oregonian that he was surprised
| at the high state of civilization in thi:
country since it was common in Eng
land and even in parts of the United
States to believe that the scalpin!
knife and tomahawk were still in ev
idence on the western frontiers.
Jerome is a pleasing man to NEE
and will get the most out of his west
ern trip by visiting small places an
meeting the common people as wei
as the shining lights in the larger cit
les,

]. B. Saylor, the we'll known stock
man of Butter Creek, left here last
evening on the $3.50 o. r. & N. train
for Lewiston, Pa, on receiving the
terrible news that his father, Isaac
Saylor. a sister, Mrs Peter Martin,
and her five children, had been burn
ed to death in the destruction of their
dwelling by fire.
The meager information contained
in a telegraphic message received by
Mr.. Saylor, told no details Of the un-
fortunate accident, and the dispatches
coming to the East Oregonian today
gave but the names of the victims and
the cause of their death.
The fire occurred yesterday morn
ing in a country district and the news
did not reach Mr.. Saylor until about
noon yesterday, when he came to this
city from his home on Butter creek
and left last evening on his sad jour
ney. 1t will require four days to reach
Lewiston on the ordinary train sched
ules, but owing to the delays occa.
stoned by snow and storms it is pos

In a fire which broke out shortly
after o'clock this morning in the
rear of the Lyman Bros meat market
on Court street, damage to the
amount of $4,000 or more was inflict-

At the time of the fire there was no
one in the shop, as both of the broth

passing noticed smoke coming from
the building and an alarm was given
for the central companies.

Still is the matter of the city mar
shalship an unsettled question, and
from appearances the action of Mayor
Fee regarding the approval of Bert
Wilson will not be known until it is
given officially at the council meeting
tomorrow night.
This morning additional interest In
the controversy was aroused by the
arrival of Council ]. NJ. Ferguson from
southern California. 1t was not the
intention of the member from the first
ward to come back for some weeks
yet, and consequently his return is re-
garded as having significance. If he
has been correctly aligned he will
make the council evenly divided upon
the marshalship, and his presence will
be important should the selection OF
Wilson be turned down by the mayor
and a new choice ordered
While no one processes to know
what Mayor Fee is going to do regard
ing Wilson, there are many who
prophesy that his action will be ad'
verse to the marshal-elect. 1t ha:
been learned since the last meeting
that the selection of Wilson was tech
nically Illegal because Marshal Coff
man was not removed before the vot'
on his successor was taken. Unde
the law it is specified that before {
marshal or recorder may be chosel
by the council the incumbent mus
first resign or be removed. This wa

riot on East Main street at midnight
last night in which number OF
Whitman students were mixed up
with some of the patrons of the Sat

hands repaired TO the street to settle
the alleged differences. They were
followed by nearly every person IN

Louis XVI. had passion for the
lOcksmiths trade, and it is said that
over his private library he had forge,
two anvilS and q vast number of iron
tools, together with all kinds Of locks,
common as we'll as those of 4 secret
and elaborate variety. It was here
that the king would conceal himself
from the queen and the court to file
and forge with the infamous Gamin,
who taught him the art of lockmaking.
1t is said that Gamin while teaching
the king his trade took upon himself
the tone and authority Of a master,
and, according to this same master,
the king was good, forbearing, timid,
inquisitive and addicted to sleep. Louis
had also great passion for timepieces,
and the difficulty which he found in
adjusting his clocks and watches Is
said to have drawn from him the re-

attempt to bring men to anything like
uniformity of belief in matters of faith
when he couldn't make any two of his
timepieces agree with each other

Hickory Trees.

It is rather pity that our hickories
should receive highest appreciation
from us when they are yielding up
their substance in roaring flames in our
fireplaces For nowhere in the forest
world can we find genus of trees
that is, as q whole, more attractive
and valuable than the genus hicoria.
Most of the hickories are beautiful in
summer when their glossy foliage is at
it's best In autumn this foliage turns
the color of uncoined gold, and when
bare of leaves there is revealed an
Oaklike twist to the branches which
makes these trees most picturesque
and beautiful objects in the winter
landscape. We have never made as
much commercially of the nuts as we
might we'll have done. Our Indian
predecessors knew how to make a
most attractive beverage from them.
and the early settlers pressed from
them an oil that was a luxury. The
pecan is the only hickory species that
has been developed and cultivated to
any extent, and this has only recently
begun it's career as a cultivated tree
