THUGS TRY TO TAKE TRAIN
Band of Track TOuts WOrsted By the
Plucky Conductor.

Greek met Greek on eastbound
passenger train No. 2 Sunday wien
party of racing touts boarded the train
with the firm intention of running it
themselves, but found firm obstacle
in the person of Conductor Fred Waffle,
who was in charge, says the East
Oregonian. AS the result several of
the touts are in Jail at La Grande.
while others paid their fare and went
peaoeably on out of the conductors
division.
Trouble, however, threatened until
officers from La GIande and Baker city
were summoned and arrests were made
where the men were most troublesome.
Upon boarding the train at Pendle-
ton station the touts rushed through
the cars securing the hat checks of the
passengers. Conductor Waffle settled
with a number Of them when reaching
La Grande by causing their arrest and
removal from the train. Enough,
however. remained to make more
trouble for the conductor.
When the train was between La
Grande and Union several of the toughs
beat up the brakeman, and it was
only through cool work on the con-
duotor's part that the whole crew was
not badly worsted.
Sheriff Rand and Deputy McCord
left Baker on No. and met the east
bound passenger at Teloeaset where
a number of the gang were taken off
and sent back to La Grande to be held
for trial. The remainder were forced
to purchase tickets. that ending the
trouble.
The Baker City police were sum-
moned to the station to be ready should
disorder arise on the train, but all the
would-be toughs we're as calm as dea
cons when the train reached there.

.FREEWATER GETS BLUE RIBBON
Formal Award Made at Fair Pavilion
Last Week.

Probably at no other fair in the his
tory of Walla Walla county has there
been such fine collection of fruit as
at the fair just ending, says the Union.
All the different varieties of fruits,
grains and vegetables raised in this
section of the country were brought
together under ole roof and the dis
play was such as to make every conn
ty in the state envious. Although
there is much rivalry between Milton
and Freewater in connection with ex-
hibits, it is all good natured and only
tends to make the contest for prizes
more interesting. A meeting was held
in the fair pavilion last week to pre-
sent the first prize for fruit exhibits to
Freewater. g. L. Whitney presided
over the meeting and the prize was
awarded by President II. W. Kaser of
the Commercial club of this city, to
Mayor G. J. Mitchell and George
Harshman of Freewater. After the
presentation short speeches were made
by d. q. Sanderson. DR.. N. q Blalock
and Era Meeker.

new DEPOT FOR PENDLETON
Plans to Be Worked Out and Location
Yet to Be Decided.

Pendleton is to have new depot,
says the East Oregonian. According
to statement by ]. P. O'Brien, ma0-
ager for the o. r. g. N. railroad. the
structure has been authorized by the
officials of the road and it is an as
sured fact. Mr.. O'Brien's letter
written to President Alexander of the
Commercial club, indicates that the
proposition is now mp to the city and
citizens of pendleton.
Plans for the building are practi-
cally completed and have been for
several months, as the building. it is
understood was practically assured
before the panic struck the country
last fall. AS soon as so me small de-
tails of the plans are worked out Mr..
O'Brien will visit Pendletou and take
up the general questions involved with
the citizens here.
It ia intimated by those who are in
a position to understand, that the
plans for the new 6uilding call for
handsome structure architecturally.
and one with splendid accommodations
for the local business.
It is not known that the railroad
people have definitely decided the
exact location of their new depot, but
it is supposed and hoped by many that
the site chosen will be that of the old
coal chrtes. From business stand
point this is considered by local busi,
ness men ideal since it would be SO
centrally located and at the same time
would relieve the present blockade OF
Main street with the long passenger
trains from the east. 1t is known that
such location has been considered
favorakly by the road even SO far back
as the time of the burning of the old
coal chutes when the company hesi-
tated about rebuilding because of the
splendid locations the site offered for q

DEATH OF MRS. I. ". AYERS
Highly Respected Pendleton Lady Sue
cumhs to Pneumonia.

After an illness of 10 days, during
which nothing was left undone that
might have aided in the recovery of
the sufferer. Mrs. I. W. Ayers died
Saturday morning at her home, in Pen
dleton. Death was caused by pleuro-
pneumonia and came as. a relief from
intense suffering. The illness which
caused death was of short duration
and it was not generally known that
she was suffering until she was at
deaths door. Mrs. Ayers had been
failing in health, however. during the
past six weeks. or since the death of
her sister, Mrs. A. A. Roberts, Of LA
Grande.
The deceased was most charming
and generally beloved woman and
while not member of any church or
ganization led devoted and useful
christian life, being greatly beloved by
those who knew her. She ia survived
by two sisters. Mrs. Il. A. Vaughn or
Pendleton, Mrs. Frank Richardson Of
Portland, and brother, Leslie Mat
lock.
The remains were taken to Heppner
for burial. the party leaving on the
local Sunday morning and going by
special train TO Heppner.

PENOLETON LEADS IN WOOL
Greatest Shipping Point West of the
Mississippi River.

When the Pendleton securing mills
closed down Saturday, says the East
Oregonian, after FIVE months run.
they not only closed the most successful
season in their history, Eut one in
which they were the most important
factor in making Pendleton the largest
wool shipping point west Of the Miss
issippi.
During the present year the wool
shipments of this city have amounted
to over 75,OOO,000 pounds. This rec
ord is not equaled by any other point
in the west, not even excepting San
Francicso, nor Great Falls, Mont, the
latter formerly the largest shipping
point, but whence shipments this year
have been about 5000, 900 pounds.
Not all the wool shipped from this
city can Ee fairly called Pendleton
wool, as it includes the entire output
of The Elgin country, most of the Ar
lington wool and considerable from
Heppner and Shaniko. But every
pound was shipped from this city.
During the season of five months.
which is brought to close today,
the securing mills have handled more
wool than any concern in the west and
have employed an average of 80 people.
each of whom draws an average of
$40 per week in wages and salaries,
or an average total of $1,000 per week
for 20 weeks paid out to the workers of
this city. During that time the mills
have sorted and secured 100000
pounds of wool and graded aud baled
4.000,00 pounds. the latter including
all the product of the Wallowa coun-
try. which was shipped here for that
purpose,
In addition to the 100000 pounds
shipped by the grading and baling
department and the product of 3,000,-
900 pounds shipped by the securing
department of this firm, about 500, 900
pounds has been handled by other
warehouses in Pendleton.
The management looks for another
successful season for the mills next
year and hopes to again put PendletCn
in 6rst rank among the wool shipping
points in the west.

Judge Scott in the City.

The good roads convention is in ses-
sion this afternoon at the commercial
rooms. and there promises to be great
interest in the meeting. Many farmers
are in the city. and it is expected that
great things will result from the con-
vention. The plan of Judge Scott is
TO organize good road leagues in every
place where he goes. These leagues
are for the purpose of bringing about
further study of the roads question and
to cooperate with the state committee
in bringing recommendation before
the legislature. Enthusiastic meetings
have been held all along the line, at
Arlington. Condor and Pendleton. and
tomorrow Judge Scott will return to
Echo. where the final meeting in this
county will be held.

THIEVES At WORK
Three Robberies Committed in This
End of the Evidently
Work of Same Men.

Tuesday night at Adams, thieves
broke into the Inland Mercantile COM
pany's grocery store, and stole $40 out
of the till, and carried away a small
quantity of groceries. They had en-
tt red the section house near hy and
procured two crowbars, with which
they gained entrance to the back door
of the store.
The same night quantity of powder
and dynamite caps were taken from
the city rock crusher in this city. A
couple of suspicious looking char acters
called in the evening at MoBride's
livery statle and essayed to hire a
team for the purpose of driving out on
the reservation. Mr.. Mcbride ref used to
allow the team to go without driver,
and SO the fellows LETT.
The following night, Wednesday,
bigger haul was made in Weston,
where the postoffice was entered and
about 500 in money taken. The same
plan was pursued here as at Adams.
The section house was entered and a
sledge and orowbar taken. The post
office was entered at the back door.
where hole was drilled and the latch
lifted. Entering, the thieves broke
the dial off the safe, succeeded in
opening it and took the money. No
stamps were taken.
No clue was left. but as in Athena
the day previous, two strangers had
been noticed on the streets and the sup
position is that they were the fellows
who did the mi chief. The sheritfs Of
the different counties have been
notified.

Another plan contemplated is the
removal of the round house to a "V"
shaped piece of property owned by the
road several blocks west of the present
site of the round house while third
possibility is said to be a reversal of
this last in which the depot would be

house remain in its present location.
The plans for the new building con-
template structure of brick or con-
crete and in size and cost it is under

to gain and nothing to lose from such
union. The new city would be
