Nine Card shaPps to Suffer the
Penalty

PENDLETON, April 11.-Nine in
dictments for gambling were filed to-
day by District Attorney Phelps as a
result of disclosures made during tn.
Matlock- Sheuerman case on trial here.
Those accused of shuffling the
cards with mercenary motives are
Jacob Sheuerman, Lester Swaggart
George Peringer, Will Wells, John En-
dicott and Sam Miller. Against
Sheuerman, Swaggart and Endicott
two indictments each were filed.
At the beginning of the famous
trial District Attorney Phelps was an
interested spectator and he followed
the case with interest as it promised
important developments from a pros
ecuting attorneys standpoint. He was
rewarded by hearing testimony which
in his Judgment involves all of the
men indicted.
w. F. Matlock, plaintiff in the case
against Sheuerman was examined at
length and for an hour or more there
was a wordy match between the wit
ness and d. w. Bailey, who cross
examined him. Following Mr.. Mat
lock, George Hartman, jr., assistant
cashier of the First National bank,
was called and told of the payment
being stopped on the check.
Lester Swaggart was the next wit
ness, and when the defense began it's
inning the same three witnesses were
recalled.
While on the stand Swaggart admit
ted with reluctance that the other
men named above had taken part in
big game and that Sheuerman, En-
dicott and himself had played in Sam
Miller's rooms over the State saloon.
as well as at the hotel. In view of
this two indictments were returned
against the three men and on for
Sam Miller
While on the stand in his own de-
Tense Mr.. Sheuerman claimed he had
been told by several people that the
other men in the game had conspired
against him and for that reason he
had stopped payment on the check.
He failed to recall the name of the
first man who had so informed him,
but mentioned Tom Johnson as hav-
ing done so.

STORIES 0F THE 0R&N, WRECK
BY EYEW|TNESSES AND LUCKY SURVIVORS

lurch of the front end of the engine
was my first warning
Mr.. Schlike is one of the oldest men
in the service on the Mountain division
and is a careful and successful engine
man. Fireman McPartridge was %
years of age, unmarried and had been
on the La Grande division but a short
time.
Conductor Frank L. COykendall of
Pendleton, who was in charge of the
train. was unhurt and did heroic work
in rescuing the injured and keeping or
der among the excited passengers
Brakeman Dean Shull suffered a slight
injury to finger and Brakeman Mark
Shackleford was uninjured.
Narrow escapes were made by
Mail Clerk Graham and Oren who
were badly smashed and their escape
with their lives is miraculaus
The place where the wreck occurred
was once culvert but was filled in
some years ago and the heavy rains on
the hills caused the surplus water to
gather there, undermining the fill and
leaving the rails unsupported. Had the
train been running at a high rate of
speed the result would have been ter
rible. The slow speed at which the
train was moving served to reduce the
severity of the shock and saved the
passengers from more serious conse-
Quences.

saw the possible disaster impending
and struck the match from the mans
hand.
A few minutes later everybody in the
car noticed the escaping vapors and
the drummer who was at first inclined
to be angry, apologized.
Engineer Fred Schilke who was in
charge of the wrecked engine, was un-
hurt except for having his left leg
broken and his foot crushed, and told
the graphic story of the wreck
I'VE We're running about 16 or IS
ginning to use steam after swinging

Hollow" said Mr.. Schlike. Il felt

Softly the strains of the good old

county court house.
The music was good, rich baritone
and bass and set the officials to Won

had come to town. The day was too
young for the Salvation army to be

Investigation showed the location of

Details of the wreck on the o. r. &
N are coming in regularly. The cor
rected list of the dead and injured is
given as follows:
The dead:
George McPartridge. fireman.
Marvyn Thompson, logger.
Mike Dunno, logger.
Unknown Greek, laborer.
The injured:
Engineer Fred G. Schlike, leg broken
and internal injuries
James P. Graham, mail clerk, arm
broken.
L. w. Owen, mail clerk. head cut and
injured on body.
Unknown Chinaman, face crushed,
hip broken.
Otto Peck is another Walla Wallan
who was in the wrecked train at Cay
use, yesterday. He was on the smoker
where the Greek was killed and it was
largely due to his presence of mind
that more passengers were not killed
or badly injured.
When the car collapsed the gas pipes
which feed the train lamps, were
broken and the compartment was soon
filled with gas.
