TEN INDICTMENTS
FROM GRAND JURY
NINE AGAINST THE THREE
WESTON SAFE CRACKERS
Each of Trio Indicted OH Three
Counts-Murder Case VIII be Taken
up Tomorrow-Alike Ryan will be
Examined for killing of III. f. Dick
son-Jacob Schubert Has Been
Summoned TO Appear as Witness
Schubert VIII Come Tomorrow.

Ten indictments were returned by
the Umatilla grand jury yesterday
one true bill being returned in the
morning and the other nine last eve-
ming. The nine were all against j.
A Crossley, David Clark and Michael
Burke, the three men accused Of the
Weston safe cracking and store burn
ing Each of the trio were indicted
on three counts, that of burglary,
and larceny from a store and arson.
Murder Case Tomorrow.
Today the grand jury is investigat-
ing some of the minor cases and to-
morrow it will take up the investiga-
ton of the case of Mike Ryan, the
slayer of H. E. Dixon. Though still
suffering from the wound which he
received from the same bullet which
Killed Dixon. Jacob Schubert has been
summoned to appear as a witness be-
fore the grand jury and will come
down from Walla Walla on the morn
ing train tomorrow.
There is much speculation relative
to the outcome of this case. The
general opinion prevails that RYAN
cannot be convicted of murder In the
first degree and many are wondering
with what crime he will be charged
in the indictment which is sure to be
returned against him.
The fact that he will be indicted M
this time does not mean for a GER
tainty that he will be tried at this term
of court and in fact it is not regarded |
as probable. If he or his ATTORNEYS |
demand the trial, however. it will be |
granted. He is being represented by
Attorneys Lowell & Winter.
Weston Case Interesting.
The case against the Weston men
promises to be an interesting one.
The sensational pursuit and capture
% the three men accused by Sheriff
Taylor and Deputy Wilson lends TO
he interest which naturally attaches
% case of this kind. The fact that
wo Of the three men are regarded as
hardened and desperate criminals al
70 adds TO the interest.
The case of the state against
Charles Grand is up for trial this
lfternoon. A jury has not been Sc
ured as yet however. and it is not
believed that the trial proper can be
AIKEN up before tomorrow morning.

away" Each of the other four boys
and four girls did we'll and so close
was the ranking of the three highest

delivery alone, it might easily have
been given to Roy Rowland of PEN

gin. who ranked second and third, re-
spectively. Miss Madeleine Hill of
Union was given the highest ranking
by the judges on compositin, but
otherwise the standing on compost

Hiss Milne and Roy Rowland being
specially energetic and prolonged.
Rowland was also greeted with cheers
y the Pendleton supporters when he
Tas first called TO the front.
Musical numbers were interspersed
throughout the program which serv-
