NO NEW SUITS FILED.

Question as TO Courts Right TO Con-
duct Probate Business at This
Time.
Not a single suit, either in law or
equity, has been filed in the circuit
court since Yesterday forenoon and
thus the anticipated rush of litiga-
ton following the holidays has COM
pletely failed to occur.
Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture of the situation Is the fact that
not single attachment suit has
been brought since the holiday Pc
riod was lifted. Apparently there is
no litigation on hands for the law
yers declare they are not Withholding
suits that are ready to file.
Today Judge Bean has devoted his
time to listening to arguments in sew
eral civil suits, while District Attor-
ney Phelps has gone to Heppner to
investigate conditions there.
Whether or not the county Judge
has right to conduct probate busi-
ness now is a matter upon which
there is a difference of legal opinion
and TO play safe Judge Gilliland has
been refusing to handle business in
which the estates contain real prop
erty. However, he has named ad-
for two estates in which
no realty is involved. Mrs. Mary
Louisa Vonderahe was today named
rs the administrative of her husbands
estate, while the widow of Emile
Stoessel was likewise named as his
Administrative.

old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Geiss of Adams, accidentally drank
two teaspoonsful of carbolic acid at

Miss Geiss Is a student of the
Fischer Conservatory of Music at
Walla Walla and came out to Milton
Saturday evening OF visit her mother
who was visiting relatives at Milton
for a few days.
While at Milton Miss Geiss con-

san francisco, Dec. 17,-Abe Ruef

conspiracy with Jerry Dinan, former
chief of police. Oman also plead the
same.
The case is an old one and had
been postponed for the last eight
months The action of the district at
forneys office in calling this case up
at this time is taken as an indication
that Heney has determined to make
Ruef feel the weight of the "big

No lise to duck" or dodge or
plead; the collar must come off and
II 1t was taken off and peaceabp
folded in the pocket II was ordered
out and torn into shreds by one of
the conspirators.
Every collar was sacrificed in the
wild Rampage of the marauders. No
body was spared. Nobody could
prevent the indignity Of having their
clean, shining collar ripped off and
thrown under the car seat; the more
one protested the more shreds his
collar was torn into; the more you
begged for your only remaining clean
collar the louder were the demands
to rip II off and so when the train
reached Pendleton everybody looksd
alike-nobody's dirty neck was
by a collar.
A few notable examples resulting
from the piratioal onslaught of the
store men on the collars of
the crowd may be mentioned. II was
discovered by the crowd that TT
ieer's collar was buttoned to a wart
on the back of his neck and so II
was pulled loose in front and 'ieft
hanging with the ends loose but the
middle Of the collar clinging to the
we'll used wart on his neck.
Not satisfied with taking Jim Ed

'hirt and for time II looked .as

DOPED BY A CHINAMAN.
Indian Ike Parr Goes Up Against n
New Sensation Producer That Puts
Him to Sleep.


New Sensation Producer That Put.
Him to Sleep.
Ike Parr has probably sampled as
many different varieties of Indian
wh!skey as any other native of the
reservation and he does not mind the
effects of "firewater," but this
morning he went against something
that for downright deadliness sur
passes anything he had ever tried
before. 1t was engshe, the ash that
is left from opium, and a small dose
of the Asiatic article sufficed TO
make Ike the s!ckest Indian that
ever occupied quarters in the city
Jail.
As has frequently occurred to him
before, Parr was thrown in last
night, the particular charge against
him being that he wished to fight
with Senator Mitchell. Among the
other prisoners in the Jail was Lee
Chung, erstwhile cook for the Bach !
elors club, who was locked I'D yester- |
day because he could not pay a s25
fine for smoking hop. It was Lee
that persuaded the new arrival that
engshe was good thing to take
every morning before breakfast.
When Chief of Police Gurdane re-
paired to the lookup about $3.50 this
he found Ike writhing like
man with the Asiatic cholera. On
INQUIRY he learned that Lee Chung
