PORTLAND DAY" SUCCESS.
Over 10000 People Attended State
Fair on Thursday.

Portland Day" was the best day
the Oregon state fair has ever expe-
rienced, says the Salem Statesman.
Portland certainly showed its 10y
atty to the state institution in the
handsome manner in which the citi-
zens turned out.
The crowd is estimated, all records
having been lost by the rush and
jam at the main gate when the Port
land rush came on, at approximately
$4,000 and the attendance would
have been increased materially had
the Southern Pacific transportation
facilities been equal to the occasion.
Three special excursion trains, car
rying from 12 to 15 coaches each,
pulled in at the fair grounds between
Q o'clock in the morning and noon,
bearing approximately between 1900
and 5000 souls. and II is estimated
that 1000 tickets were sold in Port
land, the purchasers of which the
company could not accommodate,
and were disappointed Furthermore
It is stated that from 1000 to 1000
people who desired to come to the
fair were refused tickets and could
not even get into the yards.

Another emphatic demonstration Of
the fact that Pendleton is now and
will continue to be the commercial
center of eastern Oregon is brought
to the minds of business men this
week. in the efforts of John Day peo,

At o'clock this afternoon the de-
fense in the Rhonimus trial rested its
case, though Judge Fee stated that he
had another witness yet to examine.
AS he cannot be here until Monday
the defendants attorney asked that
the rebuttal evidence be heard this
afternoon and the additional witness
used next week. This plan was as.
sented to by the lawyers for the state
and brief recess was then declared
by Judge Bean. ss
1t is the expectation to have the re-
buttal evidence completed this even
ing and on Monday morning the court
jury, attorneys and the defendant
himself will all go to the scene of the
killing. The party will take the early
morning train to Meaeham and drive
from there to Cabbage Hill. They will

eral good reputation of his own cli-

When the above line of evidence
was completed the same men were
recalled and testified as to the good
reputation of Rhonimus, both for
truth and veracity and peace and
quietude.
Until Dick Adams was upon the
stand no testimony had ever been pro-
duced upon the subject of the de-
PENDANTS standing for peacefulness
Adams testified that his reputation in
that regard was good and the admis-
sion allowed of a cross-examination
by the state upon that point.
With successive questions Colonel
Raley inquired If the witness had
ever heard of Rhonimus having
trouble with or drawing a gun, at diff
ferent times, upon E. P. Marshall.
John Temple, Sam Bell, Allen Rhodes,
Alice Padawah and others. However
the witness had heard of no such oc-
currence, though he remembered Of
the old mans being arrested for some
trouble with two boys. Morris and
Rhodes who were said to have been
tormenting him.
When the other witnesses recalled
were asked the same questions 1t was
found they were likewise in ignorance
OF any trouble excepting that with the
two boys and with Myers.
Old man Rhodes denied he had ever
had any serious trouble with Rhoni-
nus. but said his son had once been
accused OF stealing by the old man.

on the motions raised by the defend
ants In the land fraud cases this

turned with a printed list Of those
afterwards indicted. He said that
Ruick wanted the indictments re-
turned that day.
Asked IL Ruick had made an argu-
ment, he said Ruick had made wha,
he considered an argument. He said
that Ruick said the responsibility
for the indictments would be on his
shoulders.
Hawley then took the witness fol-
the defense, and Latham told the
court in answer to Hawley's ques
tions that he had wanted to explain
his vote on the indictments, but was
shut off by the foreman.
He said Ruick stood outside the
door while the indictments were vot-
ed and was in the room three min.
utes after the indictments were voted
No indictments were read to the
jury but merely the names of those
to be indicted.
Judge Burch then took the witness
