SILVER IS AFTER D|EKL
Man Sent TO jail for Robbinc Saliva
ton Army Boxes Threatens
Dire Sequel.

Judge G. b. Dehl of the criminal
division of the city court Is confronted
with a problem that worries him to a
considerable extent. There is a eer-
tain Individual in Salt Lake who Is,
figuratlyely speaking, n thorn in Judge
Diehis flesh. The person referred TO
IS Fred Silver, the man who was SEN
fenced TO 100 days on the chain gang
last December for stealing money from
the Salvation Army contribution box
es. At the time of Silvers trial, it
was shown that he had taken money
from at least two boxes. Silver main
tanned that the Salvation people owed
him money and he took this means of
collecting the same. When arrested
he had nearly $26 on him and the
Army officials laid claim to the same.
BY order of the court the money was
turned over to the Salvation Army, but
Immediately after the release of Silver
he began scheming to get the money
back, claiming that 1t did not belong
TO the Salvation Army, and that 1t
had been unlawfully turned over tn
that institution.
silver seemed to think, and does so
yet, that Judge Diehl was entirely to
blame. He called ON his honor sew
eral times and demanded that the
money be returned to him. He de-
clared he had drawn 1t from the Com
mercial National bank about the time
of his arrest and that he earned the
money by hard labor. Judge DIehl did
not seem inclined to revoke his order
ana frieniSilver began writing letters of
a threatJhing nature
Yesterday afternoon he called on Judge
Diehl at tbe latter's office and demand
ed the n mount taken from him. He
said he colNld prove that the money was
earned bv him, and that the Salvation
Army was mot entitled to 1t, He in
sisted that ! Judge Diehl go with him
to see son,le of the Army officials and
said if the judge did not get him the

ROCHESTER, DEMURs.

The case of the state VS. f. S. Roch-
ester, charged with assault with a
deadly weapon upon W. j. Chambers, is
still pending in Judge Diehls court.
1t IS alleged in the complaint that, on
May Z, Rochester drew a revolver and
aimed the same at w. j. Chambers.
soren X. Christensen, representing the
defendant, demurred to the complaint
and argued that the allegations of the
complaint did not constitute an offense,
claiming that the mere pointing of the
revolver unaccompanied by a threat to
do violence or with no apparent Intent
to shoot. did not constitute an assault.
Assistant County Atty. Carlson and Mr..
Christensen will submit authorities on
the proposition and the case was con-.
tinued until such time as the authori-
ties are presented by counsel.

1t is admitted by those interested
in the organization in the west and
also by prominent officials in. the east
that the next conference will come

Heavy Yields I'm Idaho.

show the yield this year to be the
largest for several seasons and. with
the assurance Of a good market the
farmers are jubilant, says an item

the fall wheat for the entire Culde-
sac section will average S5 bushels
to the acre, but several fields have
made averages from As to so bushels
an acre.
The farmers who this year plant
ed their summer fallow land to corn
are highly pleased with the results.

The value of the crop is much in ex-
cess Of all the labor entering into the
care of the summer fallow and will
provide excellent feed for stock dur
ing the winter. II Is estimated that
1000 acres of corn are cultivated in
the Culdesac section this year.

The people Of Long Creek we're
shocked last Sunday afternoon at the
report brought in from Charles Bal
lance's ranch that Henry H. Davis
was dead, says the Long Creek Ran
ger. Dennis p. King, who happened
TO be passing the place discovered
that something was wrong and came
to town and notified Commissioner
Allen Porter who went to the Bal
lance house and discovered the dead
body of Mr.. Davis. He had been
tending to the place while Mr.. Bal
lance and family were up in the
mountains gathering huckleberrles
and Mr.. Davis met his death alone.
Death was due to a hemorrhage
which was caused from an old afflic-
tlon on his left leg. The circumstan-
ces surrounding his .deah will never
be known, but from the evidence
gathered at the coroner's jury there
is little doubt Of the cause. Blood
stains were numerous about the ranch
and showed where Mr.. Davis had
walked about before he became too
weak to get around.

LA GRANDE MACHINIST
ASKS $4,000 DAMAGES

One of the largest damage suits In
the history of Union county was filed
today by Charles e. England of this
city, against the o. r. & N, says the
Ia Grande Observer. Through his
attorneys Mr.. England has filed q
suit for $4,000, thereby setting a
high mark in the matter of damage
suits. That the case will be ground
for extensive litigation is assured.
Charles England was a car repair
er and was badly cut and bruised
about a year ago while working on
the rip-track in the local yards. He
was run over by a box car, sustain.
ing frightful injuries to his foot and
leg. He spent several months in the
hospital and has only recently return
ed from Portland, where he spent
months In suffering while slowly re-
covering from the cutting he receiv-
ed here.
Much interest centers in the case,
as the amount OF damage money ask
ed for is higher than usually de-
manded.
The attorneys for England are H.
Daniels Of Portland and Bennett &
Sinnot of The Dalles. The last two
are prominent attorneys who conduct
most of the damage suits against the
o. r. & N.

Still Waiting for Lights.

Last night Pendleton was again ir
darkness and the current had not YET
been turned on at 3 o'clock this af-
ternoon. However at that time the
electric people were expecting to see
the lights on at almost any minute.
It is explained that the delay in
turning on the current is due to the
difficulty in drying out the machinery
at the power plant. Though the plant
is uninJured the machinery became
soaked by the flood and it must be
thoroughly dried before the plant can
be used.
