DEPUTY WILSON
CRACK SPRINT
LIVELY CHASE FOR ES-
CAPPED JAIL PRISONER
Anderson who Is Being Held As a
Witness. Took Advantage of Mo-
mcnt's Absence OF Deputy to Make
Getaway-Overhaulc West of
Town After an Automobile Chase
of Several Miles.

! \ thrilling chase, covering several
miles of territory, occurred here this
morning between Deputy Sheriff Will
son and Andeson, one of the prison
ers. 1t was won by the deputy, who
made use OF his auto in the race.
This morning Anderson and another
/ prisoner were brought down to the
French restaurant by Deputy Wilson.
They were to carry the beakfast up
to the Jail. But while in the rear of
the eating place Wilson was called to
the phone and he left the two men
alone for a moment.
Taking advantage of his oppoprtu-
nifty Anderson "ducked" for the rear
door and got away. He headed to-
wards the lower end of town and
went at a Marathon race clip.
AS he was handicapped by the
presence of the other prisoner Deputy
Wilson could not give immediate
chase He took the other fellow back
to the county Jail and then jumped
into his auto to take up the pursuit
Believing that Anderson was making
his way down the river he sped down
along the north side until opposite
the Kline place, where he was re-
warded by seeing his man on the op-
posite bank of the stream.
In a moment Wilson was out of his
machine and drawing his gun got
within a short distance of Anderson
before he was seen. When he called
to the fugitive to surrender the latter
took a glance at the pistol and gave
up.
Anderson is being held in the coun- |
ty Jail as a witness against Grant, who |
is charged with robbing stores at
Athena. He had claimed that Grant .
lad induced him to sell some of the
stolen goods, but that he, Anderson,
was not implicated in the theft. His
attempt to escape would indicate that
he was more closely connected with
the crime.
Immediately after Anderson's es-
cape Sheriff Taylor boarded the Pi-
lot Rock train and rode to the juno
ion to intercept the runaway if he
went down the track.

KILLED BY \ TRAIN
AT HUNTINGTON.

John Engle. a miller from Denver,
was instantly killed by being crush
ed between two o. R. & y. freight
cars in the yards at Huntington yes
terday afternoon.
Engle, with companion, was beat
ing his way to the harvest fields Of
Oregon and climbed between two
freight cars to ride out of Hunting
ton, One of the cars had a defective
drawbar which permitted the cars to
jam closely together and Engle was
caught in this way.
No blame is attached to the com-
pany or the train crew as no one
knew the man was on the train until
his body was found in the yards hor-
ribly mangled.

c. ]. Ferguson opposed the fran

New York, Sept. 11.-Helen Malo-
ney. daughter of Martin Maloney, the
multimillionaire Standard Oil man,
was freed today from Arthur Os-
borne. The supreme court. by justice
Gerhard, made a permanent interloc-
tuary decree of the annulment grant
ed some months ago. The girl is now
free to marry Samuel Clarkson, an
Englishman with whom she eloped
to London.
The heiress' matrimonial career has
been the subject of much newspaper
notorioty. The sensation came after
the girls elopement with Clarksoh,
when Osborne, a young broker, an
nounced that Helen was his bride. He
then made public for the first time
the story of their marriage while on
an auto trip in Connecticut.
He admitted the marriage was car.
ried out on the spur Of the moment
and that they parted soon afterwards.
Now it is expected that Helen Will be
married To Clarkson in London.

Pendleton autoists have been en-
listed in the movement for holding
good roads meeting here on Octo-
ber 20 and ii now seems likely that
they will take up the work of raising
the 5000 needed to secure the meet
ing.
When the letter from the secretary
Of the association was received here
il became incumbent upon local peo-
pie to raise the above amount Of else
forego a meeting that would be sus-
ceptible of much good to the county
and city. But for a time II looked
like the movement would fall flat
because of some one to take the lead
in the matter.
Yesterday it was. suggested by Le-
on Cohen that the autoists take the
matter in hand and il now seems they
will do so. Several prominent auto
mobile owners, among them DR.. L.
X. Blakeslee and Walter McCorm-
mach have promised to contribute to
the fund and also to assist in fais-
ing the remainder of the money. A
committee of autoists will likely
make the rounds within a few days
for the purpose of raising the $500.
Would Form Association.
It is held by Walter Mccormack
that when the good roads meeting Is
held here or Immediately following
that occasion a local good roads as
sociation shold be formed It would
be the purpose ofthe organization to
carry out as far as possible the sug-
gestions made at the convention. An
executive committee from the asso-
citation could confer with the county
court regarding road matters and
might be of much service.
Unless such an association is form
ID to follow. out the good advice CIV
IN Mr.. Mccormack holds that there
5 no need of holding a convention for
t would be all talk and no practical
work.

Franchise Too Liberal.

Judge Lowell had objected to the
granting of the franchise on the
ground that II was too liberal towards
the company. He held that such a
franchise might have been properly
voted 25 years ago, but was improper
now.
After Mr. Strain spoke i'm answer to
Judge Lowell Judge Fee addressed
the council in favor of the ordinance
He said that while he represented the
traction people he had not received a
single dollar as fee from them and
would not charge for his services in
connection with the securing Of the
franchise.
He favored the franchise as a citi-
zen and held that Judge Lowelrs
comparisons with Portland conditions
were unfair. He said that capital was
knocking at the door of the city and
that to turn II away now would mean
to keep the city in the groove 1t has
been in during the past few years.
r. Alexander spoke briefly in favor
of the franchise saying that he had

Never did n Pendleton city council
have n weightier problem to handle
than the one regarding the street
railway franchise which was granted
yesterday to the oregon & Washing
ton Traction company Because OF
the far-reaching effects of their ac-
tion the councilmen were naturally
very cautious and they threshed the
franchise over section by section In
hopes Of changing It for the better.
The feelings of the ordinance com.
mittee were doubtless well portrayed
by Councilman Strain when in the
course OF the arguments yesterday he
urged the passage Of the franchise or
dinance. He spoke just after Judge
Lowell had finished talk in opposi
ton to the ordinance and he declar-
ed that the committee had thought
OF all the things the judge mention.
ed.
In the committee room during the
forenoon they had demanded each of
the various features such as a share
os the dividends after a certain peri
3D. right to purchase, better guaran-
tee OF building. etc. But to each OF
these he said Mr.. Jones had objected
flatly saying that II they were con-
tanned in the franchise he could not
secure the financial backing for the
read.
Aside from the alteration making
. 10 h., 10 hui
three miles Of track inside OF is
months, instead of one mile. Mr..
Jones refused to bulge an inch from
their original request. Accordingly,
II became up to the council to deny
the franchise and thereby stop an i'm
provement that all believed meant
great things for the city, or else to
allow it ON the terms asked for.
81 am not proud of my part in this
proposition" said Mr.. Strain. 1--WE
tried hard to get more and | am sor-
ry we could not have made a more
favorable bargain. But unless these
men are bluffing, they will not come
at all except on the terms they name.
81 am not judge enough Of human
nature to know whether or not they
are bluffng, but | am in favor of
taking them at their word and so have !
recommended the passage of the or,
dnance and will vote for it. If the |
people don't like It they can invoke
the referendum and If they reverse |
our action | won't feel much offend |
