his wife then went out to the Gene
Thompson place in that same neigh
borhood. From there Winkley came
to Ukiah to secure work. He failed
to find any and returned to the

BAD CHECK MAN
MET WITH GRIEF.
MILTON RINEBERG OF TEKOA,
PLACED UNDER ARREST.
Tried TO Pass Worthless Check for
S79.20 Upon Bond Bros, But Was
Trapped-Signed Fictitious Name
TO Check on Bank OF Tekoa-'Phone
Message Was His Undoing-"Well
Dressed Stranger

Once again the bad check artist
broke loose in Pendleton this morn
ing. But he was "downed in his
tracks," to use a gridiron expression,
and he is now in the county Jail Won
dering how he got there so quickly.
During the forenoon today a we'll
dressed stranger entered the Bond
Bros furnishing goods store and
made some extensive purchases. All
told he bought a bill of clothing
amounting to a trifle over $40.
When he came to pay for his par
eel he produced a check. drawn upon
the State Bank of Tekoa, Wash. in
favor of F. NJ. Stewart, and signed
by ]. d. Henderson. 1t was for the
sum of $500.
Something in the appearance of the
stranger aroused the suspicion of
Charles Bond. SO instead of giving
him his change imediately, he took
the check to the First National bank
for inspection. The Washington bank
was then called by phone by George
Hartman, assistant cashier of the
bank 1t was disclosed that the bank
knew of no such man as j. D. Hen
derson and the check given here was
pronounced to he spurious.
Accordingly the sheriff's office was
at once notified of the incident and
within a short time Stewart was ar
rested. The goods he had purchased
were returned TO Bond Bros. so that
no loss was incurred by that firm.
When taken to Jail the fellow gave
the name of Milton Rineberg. How
ever, in passing the check he used
the name of Stewart and also regis
tered at the Hotel Pendleton under
that name.

Baker City defeated Weston yester-
day. 23 to 6.
Pendletons clean victory over CO.
lumbia yesterday resulted in giving
the local team clear title to the in
terscholastic football championship Of
the state of oregon. Pendleton has
finished her third consecutive season
without defeat and carries that
greater honor for the second time in
as many years.
Last year Pendleton, defeating Hill
and Baker won an unquestioned title
10 the championship of the state.
This year Pendleton tied Baker in
that city and defeated Weston by 10
to 4, but Hill, remembering the
trouncing it received in this city, re-
fused to live up to the contract made
with Pendleton last season and give
the local boys a return game in Port
land.
This in itself is sufficient to put
an end to any claims of Hill as
against Pendleton, but that the local
team is absolutely stronger than Hill
is shown by the scores of the two Or
ganizations against Columbia. Hill
won from the Catholic school by a
score of to s, kicking goal where
Columbia failed. Pendleton won yes
terday by a more decisive score, and
outplaying the visitors in everything
except the matter of football tricks
such as are planned by a professional
coach who has nothing else to do.
Three Seasons Without Defeat.
Winning from Columbia University
by score of to yesterday Pen
dleton finished her third consecutive
season without a defeat, and made
good her claim to the championship
of oregon.
The game was played before over
thousand people, and the excite
ment throughout was tense. Column
bias trick plays had the local boys
on the defensive throughout the
game, but the forward passes of the
visitors were repeatedly broken up
and the two halves were so many
volleys of consecutive punts.
The Winning Kick.
Dude Devine won the game for
Pendleton early in the first half
when Baker made a fair catch of
Columbia's punt on the visitors 40
yard line and Devine made a place
kick that Went fair between the posts.
Following this Columbia took the
ball, and by a side shift with open
formation, aided by a blocked punt,
carried the ball on end runs to Pen
dleton's one-yard line, where the Wis
itors We're held for downs and the
ball punted into safe territory.
Sensational Run i'm Vain.
Columbia received the ball at the
kickoff in the second half and it
was given to Ennes who got clear of
the field and ran full so yards, plant
ing the ball between the goal posts.
He had been forced TO step out of
bounds at the center of the field,
however, and the getaway counted
for nothing.

Baker unfortunately called for

the ball was kicked from the 25-yard
