Chicago, Nov. Fish and Harri-
man may settle their war over the
Illinois Central control out OF court
1t is said that financial interests of
magniture fear the adjudication Of
the Fish contention that a corpora
tion cannot own and vote the stock
of another in Illinois.
The fact that the Hartman in
terests have not evidenced any haste
In asking that the motion be dissoly-
ed on the Fish injunction is one Of
the grounds upon which the rumor of
the coming compromise among the
magnates is based but It asserted
that the principal pressure for COM
promise comes from outsdt interests
whose position would be seriously
compromised II the courts should
uphold the Fish argument.
Mr.. Hartman is quoted as recent
ly stating that IL the allegations in
the FISH complaint are correct prac-
tically every corporation of any size
in the United States would have to
reorganize.

A BUSY NIGHT
FOR THE SPOOKS
GOBLINS MAKE FENCES
WALK AND WINDOWS RATTLE
Fun and Frolic by the Youngsters
Creates No Trouble for Police
Kept Within Bounds-Rails and
Wires Trip Pedestrians-Gates
Missing-Strect Sprinkler Gets Up
on Itself-Mr. and Mrs. - Arc
Hazed by Their Frisky Neighbors.

With many pranks, but with little
obstruction OF property, Halloween
was duly observed In Pendleton last
night and the effect of the nights
work could be seen in different parts
of town this morning.
Early risers, who passed along the
walks in the residence district this
morning were frequently forced to
take to the streets to avoid rails and
wires that had been playfplly placed
across the walks last hlshe. also In
many places Il was noticed that tot
tering fences had been kindly pushed
over While numerous gates had been
carried away.
on Stonewall Jackson street one OF
the street sprinklers, out for n high
old time last night was found with
its wheels in the air while on West
Webb street the old half burned sep
arator near the oregon feed yard
had moved out into the middle of the
street At the tennis grounds the high
wire fence surrounding the courts
had fallen down during the night and
In many other places similar sights
met the first of November when it
dawned this morning.
While there was more or less doing
last night no serious damage was in
flcted anywhere and no real disorder
occurred Not an arrest was made by
the police and the officers did not
have much of a workout"
All of the fun last night was not
had by youngsters as the following
narrative will show: In the west end
OF town there lives a recently married
couple and last night several neigh
bors decided that gentle hazing would
be appropriate. Accordingly a small
gang, composed of staid married men
and women, was assembled and Mr.,
and Mrs. "Newlywed" were treated
to '"tick tack" attack. After the
fun had been on for some time and
no response came from within rock
was flung upon the roof of the house.
This brought forth the irate husband
and he made a spectacular dash
through the front door clad in
night robe that reached his knees.
Though the evening was cool his
language was warm.
"You kids can "tick tack" all
you want to, but by I'll be blankty,
blanked blank If you are going to
rock my house by the blank, blank,
blank"
"That's right, give to them, they
need It," piped a small boy who was
passing.
"'Ill give It to you II catch you,"
answered the infuriated householder
who did not know that he was being
jobbed by his friends and neighbors.

that camps be Abandoned and entire
force discharged. This had been done
and when the order for resumption
scattering In all directions.
Early this afternoon Mr.. Brandon
began giving orders for the assembl-
ing OF his former crews and the
headquarters office in the second story
Of the depot building was a busy
place. Messages recalling employees

after another and work will be re-
sumed as suddenly as It stopped. In
