Telling the story OF her life from
the time when as little girl she came
west with her mother to make her
home with her uncle, the late James
w, Young, Mrs. Mabel Warner was
kept on the stand all day yesterday
on direct examination. Today she Is
being subjected to rapid cross-fre
of questions on cross-examination by
Judge James A. Fee and District At
torney Phelps. SO far. however, the
witness seems to have held her own
fairly well, successfully parrying all
questions aimed TO confuse her. With
her ready tongue she has also been
able to give back just as caustic an
swers and comments as were hurled
al her by the opposing attorneys.
Taking up the story Of her life with
her advent into Weston. she declared
that her step p-father-uncle had always
treated her as his own child and had
often referred TO her as such. she
said that even after her uncle and
mother had separated that she con-
tinued to live with her uncle, being
sent 10 the Weston Normal and the
st. Josephs academy at his expense
She also said that her uncle often
told her that she was TO be his heir
and would inherit all his property
when he died. For this reason she
saws he frequently insisted on talking
over his business affairs with her, tel
ling her that since she was to have II
some day that he wanted her to be
familiar with all the details.
Tells Of Mysterious Wills.
Taking up the history of the three
mysterious Wills she declared that
she did not forge or have anything ia
do with either one OF them, though
each of the documents purports 10
give her practically all of the Young
estate. She insisted that she had
never seen the so-called second one
until II was discovered while looking
through the box of papers in the bank
at Weston. she repeated the story oil
its finding with hardly the slightest
deviation from the story which she
has several times repeated on the wit
ness stand and elsewhere.
II will be remembered that this is
the document which b. B. Hall. at that
time administrator of the estate, in
sists Mrs. Warner slipped into the boz
while he had his back turned.
The third" will was the one which
came through the mail from Weston to
Attorney Charles II. Carter, then at
torney for Mrs. Warner The witness
declared that the first she ever knew
or heard Of this document was when
she was called into the office by Mr.
Carter. to see the document.
These two documents are now botn
generally admitted to be forgeries and
Il was on the charge of having forged
them that Mrs. Warner was twice
tried. Two times term in the peni-
tentiary threatened her but two times
the Jury failed to agree and she was
saved. II was these two documents
also that the handwriting experts re-
Gently ascribed as her hand.
Coming down to the fourth" Will
which is now being contested, she told
how II was delivered to her door by
the postman on the sixteenth day OF
last December.
Has Been Good Witness.

next events upon the local program
II will be a day set apart for the
improvement of the roads leading
into Pendleton by having them
strewn with straw. No definite date
for the occasion has yet been set but
a date early in September is being
considered.
The idea of a STRAW Day. was
suggested here yesterday while sew.
eral prominent local men were dis.
cussing the subject of good roads
Among those in the crowd were H. ]
Taylor, president of the county goot
roads association, w. L. Thompson
C. f. Roosevelt, F. Z. Judd and 9th,
ers.
1t was unanimously agreed by al
present that at the present time man!
of the roads leading into the city ar,
in a deplorable shape.
1T would help. greatly to have tn
roads strawed. Why not have
straw day. suggested one of tn
number. t-t rr-
Thereupon 1t was mutually agreed
that STRAW day" would be of i'm
mense benefit and all present agreed
to work for the same. Presiden
Taylor of the good roads association
will very likely call meeting sooI
for the purpase of talking over tn,
subject and arranging details for tn,
day.
Wants Volunteer Work.
MY idea of the proposition" de
clared C. Z. Roosevelt today, sis t
have the good roads association nam,
to solicit work fo
each of the roads leading into town
The men who live along a road ant
drive into town over the same should
be asked to haul the straw for tina
particular road"
I'm order to make sure the worl
will be done the committee should so
licit among the farmers and get then
to promise to deliver a certain mum
ber of loads of straw upon the day
specified. Then on "straw day" there
should be a superintendent stationed
on each road to supervise the distri
button of the straw. The road SHOULD
be so divided as to make the worl
fall as nearly equal as possible upor
all those hauling straw"
Mr.. Roosevelt is firmly of the be-
lief that to straw the roads will re
suit in inestimable good both to far
mers and local people alike. He be-
lieves that is the custom of strawinl
the roads is but once taken up, II
earnest, all the roads of the county
will soon be improved in a similal
way with the result that Umatills
county will have far better roads thar
at present.

Cut Electric Wires

A new law was passed by the last
legislature which makes it a peni-
tentiary offense to cut. damage or
interfere with the wires of electric
companies, and the first case of this
kind was tried in Eaton yesterday
before a justice of the peace, and
his name was Dennis.
Two well-known farmers of that
vicinity, A. II. Franklin and A. IL.
Willis, were arrested for cutting an
electric wire which crossed the road
and was owned by the Northern Col
orado Power company. Attorney
Gault prosecuted the men and I'll. r.
Churchill defended them. AT the
conclusion of his argument the squire
dismissed both men as not guilty.
The only evidence produced BY
the state was the fact that these
men had moved haystacker along
the road where the wire was cu'
The evidence was entirely circum-
stantial and in the absence OF better
proof the justice dismissed the men.

Found . Rattlesnake

The tenderfoot who imagines that
the Colorado plains are the happy
hunting ground Of the rattlesnake
still has considerable to learn, as
everybody in this part of the coun-
try knows. Time was when the rat
tier lived care free existence in
this mans country. but with the
coming of civilization, the rattler's
feelings got hurt too often and he
decided to get out of the game.
The LAGRANGE neighbOrhood is
now a fair imitation of the Emerald
Isle as far as the snake proposition
goes, and that is the cause of the
excitement attendant on the staying
of a rattlesnake the other day by
Wilson Elmer. The actual state of
affairs is hard on the tourist out after
thrills; also on the snakes; but the
LAGRANGE people are perfectly salts
fed with things as they are. The
snake was young one and hadn't
learned any better than to come pro-
jecting around this part of the globe.

dAnance Now in View
The city engineer has been engag-
ed for the past ten days in estab-
fishing grades in all portions OF the
city. He expects to have these ready
for the next meeting night when one
general ordinance can be drafted to
include the several streets. Among
the points covered are Sixth avenue,
Seventh avenue. First street. and 9TH
er streets in the west portion OF the
town.
The mayor figures that it will be
big saving to the city to have an
established grade for every street IN
the city. When this is accomplished
stakes can be given for sidewalks,
sewers and a., other improvements,
in a very few minutes, while in the
past q few blocks were established
at a time and each required a sep
arate ordinance and three times the
amount of work for the engineer.
In establishing the grades the en-
gineer is taking into consideration
not only the street surface for uni
