1t Is to be hoped that the step TAX
EN- by the Heppner Commercial club
last week for the purpose of making
better roads leading into Heppner
from rich sections heretofore isolated
from our city on account of poor or
no wagon road at all, will be followed
up by decisive results, says the Hepp-
ner Times.
The Potts valley is said to be a very
prosperous section and the natural
outlet is by way of Heppner, The
trade from this valley now goes 10
Pendleton because it has wagon road
connections with that section.
1t is only 25 miles distant from
Heppner and IS miles from Pendle-
ton and her people go to the latter
market simply because there is a part
of the distance between this city and
that valley that there is no passabIe
road.
1t is said there will be only four or
five miles of road to open to bring
that trade here, and the club will en-

INDIANS BRING SUIT.
Claim Wrongful Imprisonment at
North Yakima,

North Yakima, Wash, Oct. 12.-
Two Indians, Lucas and Lee, have
brought suit against United States
Revenue officer Green and Sheriff
John Edwards for $1,000 damages for
wrongful imprisonment. The Indians
were put In the county Jail to be held
as witnesses in a whlskcy selling case.
This has been the custom here for
some time past, It being difficult to
get the Indians to obey subpoenas,
Captain Green, who is employed by
the Indian department, declares that
he has authority to lock up Indian
witnesses.
The man convicted on the evidence
of Lucas and Lee, a saloonkeeper
named Kelly has appealed from the
fine imposed in the justice court on
the ground that a recent decision of
the supreme court has held allotted
Indians to be citizens and thereby
exempting them from the whiskey
law.

NJ 'CARTY CASE
WITH THE JURY
WITNESS REFUSED TO COME
FROM WALLA WALLA
story of the Robbery of McManus in
the Idle Hour Last February Told
by McNTanus-"Doc" Rudd Failed
to Answer n Subpoena Served Up
on Him-McCarty Denied Having
Taken the Money from McNIanus.

Shortly after ~ o'clock today the
McCarty case was given to the jury
following brief trial. During the
same the state was handicapped in
its case by the failure to secure DOC"
Rudd, late of the Rainier beer hall,
as a witness. Rudd is now in Walla
Walla and as he could not be extra
dited for witness purposes the state
was compelled to do without him.
He refused to come in response to
the subpoena served upon him.
Following the testimony of Messrs,
Waters and Houseworth yesterday
afternoon, ]. P. McManus, the alleged
victim of McCarty, was placed on the
stand. He told of the loss of his
money on the Saturday night last
February. The only other witness
called by the state was "Scotty,"
bartender at the Idle Hour.
For the defense McCarty, himself,
was the sole witness but he proved
good one for his side of the case.
While on the stand he was cool and
failed to become confused during the
cross-eXamination of John McCourt,
who tried the case for the state. He
denied that he had taken the money
from McManus' pockets and during
the direct examination was led by At
torncy Pruitt to tell Of many laborious
positions he had held before being
arrested.
TIL testimony was all concluded at
l0:45 this afternoon and the remain
der of the forenoon was taken up
with the arguments and the judges
instruction to the jury.
