it but Bob's batting eye is as keen for

pretty girl in the runabout laughed re-

WILL BUILD STEEL BRIDGE
Winond TO Have New Structure
Costing $4,000

WINONA, May 27.-(SpeciaD-How
about that brand new steel bridge at
Winona and the condemnation Of the
old one by the county commissioners?
That the old bridge is all o. X. with
the exception of it's need for new floor
ing. and that the commissioners are
perfectly aware OF tbs fact, is the
startling state:neu: made yesterday by
a man pr ,mlncni in Winona affairs.
The cost of a bridge such as is con-
templated for Winona will run close to
$4,000. The cost of reflooring the old
one would be close to $500. There Is an
approximate difference of $4,000.
That the con1e n nation of the old
bridge was brOus;i:+ a' cut By the lead
ing citizens of Winona with out the
passing of single tip Is the praise
WORTH boast of tn, indighiual who
unwlr;ly let drop the above state
ments.
The purpose waa accomplis' ed, he
said, solely through the /; WIS OF Jer~
suasior, but was effected on-y after
prolonged and arduous efforts on the
, parl Of Winonians.

ORIENTAL SHY JUST FIVE
Fined That Amount by Judge Hoff-
man This Morning

Five big shining dollars were ex-
tracted from Mike" Young, son of
the fiery dragon by Justice Huffman
today because of a certain hayward
ness upon the part Of the steed which
Mike steers around at the head of his
vegetable wagon while peddling the
products of his we'll weeded garden.
1t seems that Young left his horse
standing loose on Alder street near
Second. while he bargained over a
bunch of onions and head of cabbage
at back door around the corner.
Just what started the horse will for
ever be a mystery, but it is a fact that
it was "collared' on Alder near
Fourth. Mike appeared on the scene
just in time to witness the strong arm
of the law gather in horse and wagon.
Both Chinaman and horse we taken
to the courthouse, and the former ar
raigned before Justice Huffman.

his i'll fortune just five dollars worth

BARTENDER AS
. STATE WITNESS
Will Give Damaging Evidence
Against Haywood

BOISE, May 27.-When court con-
vened today the Haywood prosecution
resumed it's examination of Juror
Johlin, who took his place in the box
Saturday. The examination was most
searching, at the conclusion of which
Johlin was excused for being opposed
to capital punishment. A number OF
other taleSmen We're examined at
length but We're quickly excused. There
is little chance of completing the jury
this week. AS soon as the venire is
exhausted, adjournment will be taken
until Wednesday. There will be no
session Thursday. Two former Chey-
enne bartenders arrived this morning
as state witnesses. They will testify
that Orchard cashed a draft for $3.50
dollars soon after the Independence
depot horror. The draft is alleged to
have been signed by Haywood and
countersigned by Meyer.
When recess was taken four venire-
men remained for examination.

FARMERS UNIONS N
willamette VALLEY

E. N. McCaw, state organizer for the
National Farmers Educational and Co
Operative Union of America. was in
Pendleton last evening for a few hours
while on his way to Hood River. says
The Tribune. Mr.. McCaw was here a
few months ago in the interest of the
Farmers & Grain Growers associa-
ton of America, of which he was pres
ident and whoch has recently been
merged into the larger organization.
His home is in Prescott, Washington.
and as he was only recently appointed
organizer for Oregon. he began his
work in Umatilla county and has al
ready perfected the organization of
four unions. They are located at Hud-
son Bay, Ferndale, Stamper School
house, and at Sand Hollow. He says
that he is meeting with much en-
couragement wherever he has been
and expects to return to Pendleton soon
and organize a union among the farm
ers of this vicinity, after which a
county union will be formed.
Three organizers are now at work in
the eastern part of Washington and
it is here that the organization which
already has membership of a million
and a half in IS states and territories Is
the strongest of any where in the west.
Mr. McGraw goes to Hood River to-
day and from there will go to different
points in the Willamette valley to
which he has been called. for the pur-
pose of forming organizations. 1t is his
purpose to push the work for all it Is
worth and to enlist the farmers of the
state in what he thinks is a good cause.

pany the latter charged with Ruef.
with bribing Supervisor Grant of the
street railway franchise. Ruef is now
laboring under 157 indictments and
Schmitz has SO.
The bond money amOun:s 10 to-
tai of $2.O6O.OOO which is now in the
hands of Judge Coffey.
So many indictments are being
found that many local bonding agen-
cies are refusing to take further risks.
No personal arrests have been made
in any case this morning The indict-
ed men appeared before Judge Corey
and quietly submitted their sureties.
Anticipating that the jury box in the
SchmitZ case would be finally filled to-
day an unusually large crowd was in
attendance at this mornings session.
Fourteen additional indictments
were found against Schmltz Saturday
but they apparently didn't disturb the
defendants Sunday rest. He laughed
and joked with his attorneys.
Before the examination of the tafes-
men was resumed the case OF Theo.
Halsey, accused of bribing the super
visOrs on behalf of the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph company was
called and put over a day. Otto Fer
renbach was the first talesman ex-
amined.
He admitted he made handbook on
races.
He was challenged by the state on
the ground that he was conducting n
business that needed police protection.
The challenge was resisted by the de-
fense but sustained by the court.
Two jurors, John Omara, black
smith, and Sylvester Bray, millinery
dealer, were chosen before noon. This
makes eight now in the box. A new
venire was drawn this afternoon. The
trial was adjourned until tomorrow
morning in order to give Schmitz an
opportunity to appear in Judge Coffey's
court and give bonds on Saturdays in
dictments.

gagged to defend Glass and Halsey. He
denied that he would defend defend

HENNESSY STARTS IDENTIFICATION BUREAU

Within an hour after Mr.. Welker left
for his return to Iowa, a farmer VINO
lives in this vicinity came into Mr.
Hennessey's office in search of Mr.
Welker who died four years ago and
left quite a sum of money now in the
hands of the state.
Mr.. Hennessey Immediately. mailed
letter to Frank Welkers Iowa ad-
dress. and it is probable that Mr.. We'll
ker Will have to make a second trip
west as the result of the Identification
of deceased relatives.
When seen by a Statesman reporter
this morning, Mr.. Hennessey said:
Il have begun a work that is not
only very fascinating but a work that
may be beneficial to many who call
upon me for information.
My plan is to locate the relatives OF
as many unknown people as possible
that die in the four states of my terri
tory.
I will gather and keep a record OF
all Inquiries and descriptions of people
being sought for by their relatives.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-05-27

Having all possible data on hano
this office will be inquired of by all un-
dertakers and corOners in the territory
seeking Identification of the unknown
dead in their charge. In a few years
the Office will have fair record OF all
unknown dead with every possible de-
scription of which relatives may IN al
ter years locate their own.
Every person has relatives IN some
part of the world who would wish u
be informed if death should occur.
I'VE see many a person pass away
suddenly leaving property that should
Justly go to some relative, if the rela-
tive could but be located. Again we
see estates awaiting a long time u
be settled for the reason that a mem
be of the family cannot be found. inns

Identified.
Il readily realize that it takes con-
siderable time and work to gather oa'a
sufficient to make the bureau OF muci
importance but every device posslpie
will be done from the very start
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-05-27

An Identification bureau for the iden-
tification of the unknown dead in Ore
gon. Idaho, Montana and Washington
has been started by Undertaken E. L.
Hennessey.
This bureau will fill a long felt want
in this part of the country, as cases in
which victims of accident and sud-
den death, wherein the deceased is
buried unidentified, come up frequent
ly.
1t is Mr.. Hennesey's plan to inquire
into every such case that arises in the
states above named and, after secur-
ing all possible information that would
be of aid in identification. to enter the
same in a tabulated list together with
the place of burial.
With this data he will be in a posi-
ton to be of inestimable aid to people
seeking lost relatives in this territory.
The need for such an information
bureau is we'll shown in the case of
Frank Kniffen who recently died here,
and who was identified by Frank We'll
ker. of Cherokee, Ia, as his brother
in-law.

CHINESE GARDENER GOES
CRAZY AND KILLS HIMSELF

Lee Chuk Mum. a native of Cathay.
who worked on a Chinese garden two
miles north of the city until yesterday.
tired of wedding onions and working
chop sticks with unending mOnotOny
every day, and about o'clock in the
evening he swung off ladder on
stout rope and strangled to death.
What was the reason for the suicide
the fellow queue wearers of the dead
Chinaman do not know. They think he
went crazy a few days ago as he had
been acting strangely a short time be-
fore he killed himself.
Coroner MacMartin decided an in
quest was unnecessary as the death
was evidently the result of the China
mans own act. The body of Mum lies
at the MacMartin undertaking chapel
from which 1t will be buried this af-
ternOOn.
