SWITCH FACTORY AT SALT LAKE
The Hurst Automatic Has $500, 1000 In
a Plant There.

John Jenson last evening received
a telegram from Salt Lake from C.
NJ. Hurst, the inventor of the Hurst
automatic switch, informing him of
the nearness to completion of the
operative switches being put In in that
city by the Oregon Short Line. The
telegram concludes with a quotation
from an old manufacturer of railroad
machinery to the effect that this
switch rs without a parallel in the
history of railroad inventions" The
switches being put in at Salt Lake by
the Short Line are of course, of STAN
dard dimensions, being placed where
all the main line traffic of the road
passes over them daily.
Mr.. Jenson showed the reporter a
letter written by T. w. Younger, mas
ter mechanic for the Southern Pacific
at Portland, stating that he had wit
messed a Hurst automatic switch In
daily operation, which was of stand
ard dimensions and took care" of the
heaviest and most frequent traffic OF
every description sent through it. Mr..
Younger referred in terms of unqual-
ified admiration of the improvements
made in the device during the past
year, these Improvements being main
~ in the way of elimination of parts,
or in other words greater simplicity
Of structure and operation.
Recent issues of the leading Salt
Lake papers-the Tribune, the Her
ald and the Inter-Mountain Republic
can have accounts of the taking over
by the Hurst company of the buildings
and 81 acres ot land belonging to and
with what is known in that place as
''the Old copper plant" which is being
remodeled for the manufacture of hte
Hurst automatic switch. These pa
pers also state that all stock taken
from now on will be used in better
ments and for enlarging the plant.
Practical railroaders ana practical
mechanics who were not, who saw the
model of the Hurst automatic switch
in this place last year all called it an
extremely ingenious device, though
many thought it was unnecessarily
complicated. Master Mechanic Young
er's qualification at the device being
greatly simplified, will interest all
who ever saw the model or became
otherwise interested.

That sheep kings are not the only
ones whom the confidence men seek
is shown by a story that is now cur
rent among railroad men who run
into Pendleton.
According to the tale that is told a
passenger on one of the eastbound
trains through this city was recently
buncoed out of $50 by fellow trav-
eler who represented that he had
some freight farther along the line
upon which $50 charges was due.
1t was between Umatilla and this
place that the two men fell into each
others company and through the af-
fability of the swindler pleasant
friendship was formed at once. Fin
ally the confidence man informed the
other that he was in trouble through
not having $50 in cash with which to
pay some charges due upon a ship
ment of freight to one of the stations
along the line. He declared he had
a draft for $1,000. and proceeded to
show the same. However, he feared
that he would be unable to cash the
draft in time to get his freight. At
this his new-found friend offered the
loan of $50 and the same was thank
fully received.
1t was not until the swindler left
the train at this place and returned
no more that the unsuspecting pas
senger realized he had been duped.

TWENTY-FIVE CARLOADS Of FAT STOCK
SHIPPED TO-DAY

were first bought by Blackwell &
Jones in the John Day country and
then sold to Lonergan. The cattle
averaged 1915 per head for the steers
while the cows brought somewhat less.
The 1000 sheep are for the most
part and 2-year-old wethers, though
there are some miscellaneous muttons
among them. All were raised and
fattened by the Hcndersons of Pilot
Rock. They are said to be a choice
lot throughout. The price paid could
not be learned. They were bought by
II. j. Hardlson for the sound markets
also.

Did Charles Cunningham and a
dozen or more other prominent stock
men of wealth. fall victims to bunch
OF clever swindlers in Seattle last
winter, and il so, what particular form
of persuasion was used to lure them
into the game?
The above questions have been
asked frequently about Main street to-
day where the swindling story has
been a topic of interest since last
evening.
Although Mr.. Cunningham positive
ly declares that he has lost no money
on any wrestling matches there are
some here who are inclined to think
that he really fell among thieves but
has since blotted the affair from his

Cunningham, Stakeholder?

1t has become known that some
thing concerning the alleged swindle
was told to some of the Pendleton
sporting fraternity several months
ago. According to the account told
at that time Mr.. Cunningham was
made the stakeholder in one of the
early bouts held on Lake Washing
ton. Although he did not intend at
first to do any betting himself, he is
said to have staked $4,000 on the
match. 1t was a sure thing for him.
but unfortunately his man received a
crippled arm doing the wrestling bout
and thereby lost the match.

Operator Was Here.

Soon after the $4,000 loss Mr..
Cunningham is said to have returned
to Pendleton, being accompanied by
one of the promoters of the scheme.
This gentleman is described as being
one of the smoothest most affable
and most innocent appearing men
! that even robbed a fellow citizen with
| out the latter knowing it.
Just what took place here is not
known definitely, but according to the
account given the sum OF 100000 was
put up by Mr.. Cunningham for the
purpose of recuperating his former
losses. 1t is presumed that this
amount went the way of the former
money and helped to make up the
$500 stake which the swindlers
are said to have secured from guilt
