GOLDEN CITY VIA

Ralph Wink. a gentleman of comely
appearance dropped anchor in por:
last evening and paid the city and its
officials friendly call. while ZEN route

Just who Winks is, who he was. or

willing to turn a kind trick in the di-
rection of weary pilgrim.

Intense interest among farmers south
of Walla Walla is being aroused by
the activity of agents in the employ
of the Washington & Oregon traction
company in securing rights -Of-way for

ready been secured. Twelve deeds for
rights-of-way We're filed for record at
Pendleton Tuesday and it is said 9TH

secured.
The deeds filed at Pendleton Tuesday
cover five miles of line in the north

road will be exte nded into the Wallowa
and Grande Ronde countries Rumors
have been current that the new cleo

ATTEMPTS SUiCIDE; FAILS.
PendIeton Mans Skull Flattens % Cal.
iber Bullet.

PENDLETON. Dec. 26.-Despond-
ent because of ill health, George Bowles
of this city, attempted to end his life
Tuesday during the noon hour, while
in the "Fixit' shop on Court street.
He fired bullet straight at his fore
head. but it f1attened against the skull
ard did no particular damage.
That he is still alive is due only to
the fact that he used 20 calibre cart
ridge in a 80 calibre pistol. The
chamber. being too large for the cart
ridge. the latter bursted destroying the
force of the bullet.
When he discovered that his attempt
had failed he said it was an accident,
as he was just seeing if the cartridge
would fit the gun. That it was really
an attempt at suicide, however there
can be no doubt.

JUDGE ACTS LENIENTLY
TOWARD RESTAURATEUR
RESTAURANT INSPECTOR MAKES
PLEA
Lunch Room Owner Opposite River
Station Finds Good Samaritan
in Officer Who Ar
rested Him

Touched by the appeal of clemency of
Restaurant Inspector Harry Wright,
Judge Ross assessed only IS fine against
B. F. Haddox. proprietor of the 4-n-44
lunch room at 14OS San Fernando street,
opposite River station, yesterday morning.
In the line of duty Wright yesterday
visited the railroad district and paid an
other cali on Haddox, whom he had
warned before to improve the sanitary
condition inside his place.
Haddox said he had trouble with his
help and his partner had been the victim
of misfortune and could not keep his
premises as cleanly as he wanted to-
Wright arrested him and took him to
court, where, after making statement
to the judge, he said he believed Haddox
had made an honest attempt to improve
conditions and had promised to keep up
the good work.
Judge Rose lectured the man, and after
assessing the smaller fine told him he
would make it $40 next time and that the
inspectorswould keep his eye on his place.
Wright loaned the defendant 81 with
which to pay his fine so that he could
hurry back and finish the soap-and-water
campaign.
