Democratic Leaders, Stillman
& Pierce, Dissolved
NO LONGER PARTNERS IN LAW
Men Who for Years Were Prominent
ly Associated in Politics and Law
Have Heated Words.

The political and law firm of Still
man 81 Piecre, by mutual consent
and heated words, according to the
Pendleton Tribune, was dissolved Sat-
uTday. This information will be of
more than ordinary interest to the
people of Umatilla county. where both
men have been prominent in politics

and Pythias combination existed be-
tween A. d. Stillman and Walter NJ.

in the demooratic camp, dominated

ally got what they wanted in the way
of office, and particularly SO did

ship has been shattered, dissolution
naturally followed, and the two men
stand divided. The Pendleton Tri-
bune says:
The law firm of Stillman & Pierce
existeth no longer. In street language,
"it is off in thousand places"
other split in the democratic party.
'Get out of this office and get out
quick sect your things out of
this office and get them out quick. !"
"You had better get out. These
and many other similar expressions,
just as expressive and all given in a
tone of voice which could hardly be
designated as conciliatory. might have
been heard yesterday afternoon issu-
ing from the rooms which have been
used as law offices for many years by
A. D. Stillman and Walter Perce.
A few minutes after open hostilities
commenced, the part of the furniture
and books belonging to the ex-state
senator were being rapidly moved to
vacant rooms in another part of the
building. The removal was no less
spirited than the war Of words and in
almost less time than it takes to tell it
the complete segregation and transfer
had been effected.
Fora time the office rooms retained
by Mr.. Stillman looked rather bare in
spots aud were especially short on
chairs, but by the aid of the furniture
man they quickly regained. part at
least, of their old time appearance.
The exact cause of yesterday s
cyclonic earthquake like disturbance
is not known nor was there any par
ticular effort made to ascertain it.
1t seems, however, that the firm of
Stillman q Pierce was dissolved July
81, 1905. and that since that time the
two men have retained their offices as
before and had the same stenographer
aud that there was some difference of
opinion in regard to the payment of
the Office rent and the stenographer's
salary, which resulted in Mr.. Pierce's
being invited to move out, which he
did; or in Mr.. Pierce's declaring be
would seek other quarters, which be
did.
Anyhow the partnership is not only
dissolved but the two democratic war

harness together are occupying differ.
