CHARGE HIRED
MAN WITH CRIME
c. IL. GIBSON SAYS HIS
HOME WAS SET ON FIRE.
Accuser Says Fellow Is Apparently In

Circumstances In Connection.

About noon yesterday the dwelling
of C. L. Gibson, 1912 Railroad street,
was set afire and this morning Mr..
Gibson swore to a complaint charg-
ing Charley, an employe, with the
crime. According to Gibson, the man
is apparently insane and he says that
there is undlsputed proof that he set
fire to the house.
Through hard work on the part of
neighbors the place was saved, though
gibson claims he suffered a loss of
about 5000.
Immediately after the fire Charley
claimed that the incubator had ex-
ploded, thus causing the blaze to
start. However, all indications, ac-
cordlng to the story of Gibson, show
that the fire was started maliciously
by someone, and in the mind of Glib
son the man was Charley. A quanti-
ty of wood had been taken from the
wood shed and piled against the
house by the man. Furthermore,
Gibson claims that the present state
of the incubator shows plainly that 1t
did not explode and he claims that
the fire was started in the wood shed.
The accused man is about 35 years
of age and has been here for about
two months, according to Gibson. His
real name is not known and this
morning John Doe warrant was
sworn out against him by District At
torney Phelps. He formerly worked
for George ROork.

criticized them more than do the
brewing interests, and they are try
Ing as hard as good men can to bring
about a change. Too many bad men

stand the test of honesty and de-

told that he is not a desirable GUS
toner and the brewers are asham-

places. and such men simply go out
of business, for all respectable brew
ers stand together, and they simply
will not stand for 1t. That is what
ought to have been done long ago, but
1t is not too late to brighten up the
saloon business in New orleans so no
respectable brewer need be ashamed

GOVERNOR PECK TELLS
OF LOUISIANA
Liquor Dealers Aiding in Movement

the stampeding herd will be rounded
up and punched, and turneb loose to

where there are no large cities, and
where negroes are plenty and not
very reliable, and where the white
people can have all the liquor they
want in their homes, where prohibi-
tlon will be good thing but there
never will be statewide prohibition
in the state, because every white cit
izen of the state is proud of Old New

injure its business or the happiness

With the prices far lower than those
paid for the same clips last year. yet
nearly double those offered at Arling-
ton Saturday, the first wool sales day
for Pendleton has been on today.
During the forenoon bids were re-
ceived on many clips, but in only four
cases were the offers accepted by the
sheepmen. The prices paid ranged
from 12A cents to 12 Is. In the
remainder of cases the growers eth
er rejected the offers at the time or
took them under advisement.
At this place, and at Pilot Rock,
where a sale will be held tomorrow,
nearly 100000 pounds of wool is
for sale and it represents the clip Of
Umatilla county. How much will be
disposed of cannot yet be told, but
there is every indication that much
wool will be held unless higher prices
are offered at subsequent sales. This
morning expressions of disappoint--
ment were freely made by the grow
ers and more than one man expressed
his determination to hold. Another
sale will be held here June s.
The fact that IL and IS cents has
been paid for the local wool when
the buyers Offered but from six to
eight cents for the Gillian county
wool Saturday is high tribute to the
quality of the Umatilla fleeces.
The following are today's sales in
detail:
The clip of John Wynn, sold to
Brigham for IL ga cents.
The clip of Pedro Bros, sold to
Brigham for IL S-4 cents.
The clip of Andrew Rust. sold to
Livingstone for 1S is cents.
The clip of William Ely, sold to
Greene for IL IA cents.
During the forenoon the clips of
the Cunning sheep and land company
and of X. G. Warner were placed on
sale but neither was sold at that time,
offers being taken under advisement.
For the Cunningham clip IL is was
offered while IL 1-2 cents was offered
for the Warner clip.

Market Situation Responsible for
Late Notwithstanding Season VIII
BE LOng-owners Hope to Start
WOOlen Mill Also.

That the securing mill will start
operations about June 1, was announc-

says that quantity of wool has al
ready been secured and more is con-

but Mr.. Judd predicts that the season
will be long one, the mill being kept
going until the first of the year.
Thus far nothing has been done to-
wards reopening the wooden mill
though it is hoped by the owners to
secure a lessee before long.

MANY SEEK WORK.
Costuma Would Conduct Free En-
plOymeR Bureau.

MANY men have come to my Of
flee seeking employment during the

others wishing to secure men will
leave me their names l will send them
help" said d. B. Costuma this morn
ing.
According to Mr.. Costuma many of
those who are seeking work are good
men who have come from the eastern
or middle states and desire to locate
here If they can find anything to do.
They are not of the ordinary idle
class and he holds that they should be
held in this section If possible.
According to Mr.. Costuma, the pro-
posed publicity bureau could do
much good by simply finding locations
for tourist workingmen who seem to
