found that Lavender who had been
for some time marshal OF Weston,
undertook to arrest young Red for
having disturbed the peace by
engaging in a street fight.
Reid was mounted at the time of
the attempted arrest and refusing to
dismount and submit to arrest was
shot by the marshal as he was rid
ing away. From all the facts and
circumstances surrounding the case,
we are very we'll satisfied that the
marshal did not attempt to shoot
Reid, but that instead he was trying
to stop the horse Reid was riding, and
that he accidentally shot the boy, who
died some weeks thereafter.
We are left In considerable doubt
as to whether Reid died directly
from the effects of the gunshot
wound, but assuming that he did, we
believe that the facts are not suffi-
cient to warrant a criminal prosecu-
tIon, but we do believe that the mar
shall is entitled to severe censure for
error in judgment and for acting too
hastily and in taking such unusual
means for arresting an offender for
such a simple offense.
We believe that officers should re-
sort to the use OF firearms only when
II becomes necessary to protect them
selves or to capture person who has
committed a felony, and then only
as a last resort.
In the case against John Wood for
having assaulted Claude Wallace,
while we have returned not true
bill, deeming the evidence insuffi-
Client, we believe an investigation
should be made by the county court
as to the conditions surrounding
young Wallace. He is under guar
dianship and his guardian has rented
his land to Mr.. Wood, who is charg-
ed with his keeping. A complaint is
made that Wallace does not receive

The Bond Sale.
: ++++++++++++**++.

Through an agreement reached this
morning between the council finance
committee and William A. Scott,
representative of E. H. Rollins &
Son, the entire s1S5,0O0 city bond
issue has been disposed of and the
fact furnishes the best news the peo-
pie of Pendleton have had for many
months. AS a result of the sale it is
now assured that a city hall will be
erected, the levee properly strength
ened and the sewer system extended
to the west end.
At o'clock last evening a meet
ing Of the city council was held for
the purpose of listening 10 a propo-
sal from Mr.. Scott. At that time he
offered to purchase all of the bonds
excepting those for the levee. The
proposition was referred to the fl
nance committee.
At o'clock this morning the COM
mittee, which is composed of Coun-
cilmen Knight, Strain and Hinkle,
met with Mr.. Scott and Mayor Muir

WaIlOUa Land ODened.

Six filings were made at the La
Grande Land office yesterday upon
the timber tract recently segregated
from the Wallowa forest reserve.
Yesterday was the date of the OPEN
ing of the tract, which is known as

land is not good timber or agricul-
tural land, but is most valuable for
range with small areas that can be
farmed. The entrymen who filed
yesterday are residents upon the land

With four burglarles in one night
and one of them a most daring act
Pendleton experienced an epidemic Of
crime last night such as 1t has prob
ably never seen before. An attempt
was made to rob the postoffice, the
West End Grocery was burglarized
and two blacksmith shops entered for
the purpose OF securing tools with
which to operate.
The discovery OF the attempt up
OIL the postoffice safe vas made
shortly before s o'clock this nicrn-
ing when Postmaster J. T. Pi Dwn
started to open the safe as was his
custom. AS he took hold of the COM
bination lock he was startled to find
II battered and his astonishment
grew when the lock came off In his
grasp. Further evidence of the at
tempt at robbery consisted In several
holes drilled into the cafe and a
small trench that had been chlseled
around one OF the panels of the door
Upon the floor were many slices of

grand jury's report Mrs. Warner was
dealt with at some length. No re-
turn whatever was made in the case
of Lavender for the reason that his
case had never been bound over to
the grand jury.
The Perard Case.
At $3.50 this afternoon the taking
OF testimony in the Perard case was
completed and a short recess was
taken prior to the opening of the ar

aging to Perard. The testimony Of
fered by the defense was brief. The

during the evening.

ing that he did not think that IL

er than today.
He thinks he may be able to fin

stand at 1915 today TO be further
grilled by Jerome. The state exam
ination went into details of her life
in Paris in 1903 and through Europe.
The witness admitted that she had
written White from Bolougne and
saw him shortly after she returned
to New York.
Jerome questioned Evelyn at length
as to her relations with White and
Thaw after her return from Europe.
She said she had little to do with
White until one evening after the
theater when she went to luncheon
with White and Maize Toilette. White
told her she was not looking well
and that If she would drop her work
on the stage he would pay her the
same salary.
Mrs. Thaw testified that she told
Thaw that she had heard he was a
morphine fiend ana ne told her she
had been through Europe with him

ply was also called into the confer
ence. At the meeting the city rep
resentatives insisted that the entire
bond issue be taken by Rollins &
Co. and this was finally assented to
by Mr.. Scott.
Bonds Sold at Par.
Under the terms Of the deal the
bonds are TO be purchased at par by
Rollins & Co. they are to bear per
cent interest and run for 20 years
or 80 years at the option of the city.
The first payment, one of 10000, Is
to be made on March l by Rollins
& Co., and thereafter the company
is to pay $4,000 monthly until all is
paid or the company may pay the en-
tire amount at once should 1t so de-
sire. The bonds are to be dated
January 1, but the company will pay
interest on its deferred payments so
as to offset the interest accruing
during the time intervening before
the payments are made.
This evening the council will meet
again for the purpose Of hearing the
report of the finance committee and
at that time the sale will doubtless
be affirmed.
Murphy Is Pleased.

1t possible for us to secure all the

That man is no count for a preacher,

Bible at the right moment.
They have the tnack of taking your
attention off fEpm what they are say

But those who haven't this ability
how sorrwfull dull they are. My

glanced over at me and smiled when
Mr.. Voppel said How sad this would

you may be sure, for everything he
can get against an American he will.

TAFT PLEASED BY
SITUATION IN OHIO
Republican Nominee for President
Assured of Support in
Labor Centers.
THREE DAYS IN THE STATE.
Farmers Show They Are Opposed to
Change That Woulu Imperil
Prosperity.

WHEELING, w. Va, Oct 14.-Judge
Taft today concluded his three days
campaign in Ohio What he thinks of
the situation is set forth in the follow
ing statement which he issued tonight:
II have now spent three days in the
state of Ohio, much Of the time in in
dustrial and labor centers, among men
who, it was reported were disaffected
and opposed to the Republican party
and it's candidate. Wherever 1 APP
peared l was cordially received and
only an occasional interruption indi-
Gated that misrepresentation of the
attitude of the party and it's candi-
dates had made casual impression.
1T is my opinion that the attitude
of labor toward the Republican party
has been misrepresented quite as freely
as that of the party and the candidate
toward labor, and l find no reason for
the belief that labor will divide other
than on the lines that have heretofore
divided it. In my opinion the nominal
Republican labor vote will be cast as
heretofore.
I'm the agricultural regions it is
quite apparent that the farmers are
opposed to a change that will imperil
their present prosperity.
1.-The situation in Ohio is entirely
satisfactory and no one has any rea-
sonable doubt but that the republican
majority will be a substantial one. I
certainly have no doubt on the subject
myself"
