800 bushels Of wheat and 3.1O0 bush

a few hundred bushels OF wheat and

PLAINTIFF GOT THE MULE.
Decision by Eleven Jurymcn, One Be-
ing Excused.

At last the ownership of the Ward
Richardson mule has been settled, and
apparently for all time. Shortly after
o'clock last night. after having been
out nearly six hours. the jury in the
famous case returned a verdict in IA
vor of the plaintiff, Mr. Ward. 1t is
understood that considerable difficulty
was had by the jury in arriving at its
decision, for though the predominance
of evidence was in favor of the plain
tiff it was hard to distinguish the
rightful owner of the animal.
After having called upon the mule
and strived in vain to decide the ques-
tion, the jury came down town for
supper about o'clock last evening.
One of the jurors. John Hayes, is the
father of George Hayes. who was hurt
at Echo yesterday, and as the jurors
were coming up the street he was no.
titled of the injury to his son. Judge
Ellis was then called and excused Mr..
Hayes from further service, leaving
the decision to the remaining IL
jurors. After a few more ballots a
unanimous vote was cast for the plain
tiff.

Getting Pleasure

Do You Get All That's

Lots and lots of us in Pendleton
live a life of work. eat and sleep-we
have no time for the real pleasures of
life. But our stay here is too short to
make life like that worth while.
The most real pleasure in life is to
be had from a happy home, and hap
py is the home that has its piano.
Our business at Eilers Piano Horse
seems to be to make homes happy.
Hundreds of our pianos are the GEN.
ters of home enjoyment in as many

+. d. Phillips, of Auckland, New
Zealand, is visiting in Pendleton for
few days and is looking over this Sec
tion of the country With view of 60
ins into the sheep business. While
here he has been the guest of w. f.
Frey, with whom he was acquainted
while the latter was in New Zealand.
Mr.. Phillips was born i'm New Zea-
land and has passed practically all of
his life on that progressive south sea
island. However, he has travelled con-
siderably, having been in China,
Japan, Australia and England, though
this is his first visit to the United
States. He has been engaged in the
sheep business considerably, and has
also been connected with a newspaper
in Auckland.
In speaking of the conditions on the
island, he said that the farming and
stockraising industries are run on a
cooperative basis, and the ranches
are known as stations All of the
larger stations are provided with rail.
road connections.
While the sheep industry is import
ant there, it is conducted differently
than in this country, as the land is all
adapted to diversified products and
consequently the sheep are usually i'm
small bands. However. there are some
concerns running large bands and
using hundreds of thousands of acres.
After further investigating affairs
here, Mr.. Phillips may go to Gillian
and Wheeler counties for the purpose
of looking over the situation there.

IN CHARGE OF SIGNALS.
Kamela is Central Station for Block
Signal System.

SiSnal system.
The installation of the block signal
system on the Mountain division of
the o. r. & n. between La Grande
and Cayuse, distance of 65 miles,
employees at Kamela and has made
that point the central power station
for the signal system.
The electric power station is located
at Kamela in charge of j. w. Dean
and two assistants, who have charge
of the line of signals, the electric bat
teries and the signal lights.
The electric batteries which oper-
ate the automatic arms of the signals
are charged at Kamela every two
weeks. A helper engine is sent over
the road every other day gathering
the batteries which are to be re-
charged. Only a portion of the total
number of batteries are recharged at
one time, thus leaving a large pro-
portion of fully charged batteries in
service all the time.
The lights on the signal arms burn
for 10 days, when the lamps are re-
filled and the wicks replaced and
trimmed. The lights are produced by
a specially prepared grade of signal
oil, and the colored glass used for the
signals is high grade reflecting glass
which throws a strong, steady light
which, although not larger than the
ordinary lamp light, can be seen by
trainmen for three miles on clear
nights.

MORTIMER SLUGGED HAYES.
Victim of Echo Row Now In st. An
thOny Hospital.

George Hayes, the young farmer Of
the Echo country, Is now at the st.
Anthony hospital suffering from a
blow on the head inflicted yesterday
afternoon by Charles Mortimer after
the two had quarreled in saloon at
Echo. Young Hayes was struck across
the head over the eyes with a two-by-
four board and was knocked uncon-
scious. He was brought to Pendleton
on the $40 train last evening and
was taken to the hospital, where he
is being treated by DIR. w. @. Cole.
At noon today DR.. Cole stated that
the injured man is doing well and
that he will probably be out within
two or three weeks. II not sooner
Provided, however, that no complica-
tions OF any kind result. He regained
consciousness during the night.
As to the affair in the Echo saloon
various accounts have been given b.

enlarged in the near future to make
room for the increasing patronage.
Electricians are now at work wiring
the entire academy building for cleo
trio lights and when this is complete
the academy will be one of the most
complete and convenient boarding
school buildings in the northwest.
Course Is Very Thorough.
Aside from the regular grades
taught. including painting, music,
drawing. commercial law, an art
course and higher mathematics.
A new kiln has just been added to
the art department in which china
painting is fired, or burned to give it
the required gloss and tints. This is
an important branch of the art de-
partment and some excellent work is
done. The art department includes
china painting, oil painting, needle
work. typography, clay modelling anu
water color painting.
The text books used in st. Joseph's
academy are identical with those used
in the public schools up to the eighth
grade, but above this grade other text
books are added. making it even more
diversified than the public school
course, in some respects.
Training School for Teachers.
In the novitiate or training school
for teachers and nurses are 10 novices
who are now in preparation for their
life work. Formerly it was neces-
sary for novices to go to Philadelphia
for final preparation for the sister
hood. but two years ago a novitiate
was established at st. Joseph's acade-
my and now the entire northwest is
supplied with teachers and nurses fol
the Franciscan istitutions from PEN
dieton. This makes Pendleton the
headquarters of the entire sisterhood
in the northwest and gives the city a
prestige enjoyed by few other points
in this respect.
The novitiates receive special train
ing apart from the work of st.
Joseph's academy and enter their life
work from Pendleton as fully equip
ped as though they had completed
their novitiate at Philadelphia.

the respective friends of the two men.
Many contend that Hayes was abusive
toward Mortimer and was the aggres-
sor in the affair with the result that
the latter lost control of himself and
struck Hayes in moment of passion.
The board was used as brace with
which to bar door in the saloon.
However. different story is told
by others, who maintain that Hayes is
not bad man, but that Mortimer has
a tendency in that direction. After
the fight yesterday Mortimer mounted
his horse and rode out of Echo. A
warrant was then sworn out for his
arrest and he was sought by several
men on horseback. Meanwhile the
case has not been taken up owing to
the uncertainty regarding Hayes con
dition.

PETITION OF No AVAIL.
Must First BE Signed by District At
tOrney Phelps.

From appearances 1t seems doubt
ful If the petition recently circulated
asking for the pardon of Moses Taylor
will be successful. This morning par
ties returned from Salem after having
laid the matter before Governor Cham
berlain. However, it is said the eX-
ecutive declined to consider the petit
ton until it had first been presented
to District Attorney Phelps, which
had not been done.
Accordingly the district attorney
was interviewed this morning and
asked to give his approval to the petit
ton. However, this Mr.. Phelps firm
ly declined to do. Likewise Judge
Ellis has declined to sign the petition
for pardon.
