brother and friend, Eli Spring, came
t the hotel three days ago and pro-
cured adjoining rooms.
The brother intended, according to
the hotel authorities. TO look after
Mr.. Castles while he was in such a

volunteered his assistance. For some
reason, the banker was left alone and

BODY OF HER SON EXHUMED
AND EXAMINED
No Bones Broken As She Contended
Confusion Found Over Right Eye
Bullet Wound Was Three Inches
Above Right Eye-NO Indication
of Hair and Scalp Burned.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 14,-After
the body of Lieutenant James N.
Sutton, the marine officer who met
his death about two years ago at An
napolis, was exhumed yesterday at
Arlington cemetery. an autopsy wis
closed the fact that no bones were
broken, although a confusion was
found over the right eye.
Mrs Sutton has contended that her
sons arm had been broken in the
fight which preceded his death and
that being the case the shot which
ended his life could not have been
self-inflicted.
DR.. George Tully Vaughan of this
city, who represented Mrs. Sutton at
the autopsy, said last night that the
bullet wound which caused his death
was three inches above the right ear
and was clean cut.
There was no indication that the
hair and scalp had been burned with
powder. Surgeon Spear, who repre-
sented the navy department, declined
to make a statement saying he would
report direct to the department.

The very best $40 saddle that it is
possible to manufacture will be pre-
sented by the Hamley- -McFatridge
Harness company to the winner of the
bronco busting contest to be held in

NEW GRAIN TARIFF
FOR WESTERN SHIPPERS

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Western rail-
ways are practically giving away one
half a cent bushel by putting in a
proportional tariff on grain shipments
from the west which provides for
one-half cent per bushel for elevat-
ing charges at Chicago and South
Chicago. The Rock Island, the Chi
cago and Alton, and the Atchison
have given notice of this rate. 1t Is
effective on the Rock Island today, on
the Alton the 18th, and Atchison on
the 25th.
The Rock Island has done even
more than the other lines, making the
elevating charges apply to shipments
originating over all its system. This
reduction is of little or no benefit to
the small shipper of grain who sends
in a few cars to be sold locally, but
il is an important factor to the big
shipper who loads grain in the west
and forwards 1t to the east, through
Chicago. to be loaded into lake
steamers for eastern and seaboard
markets.

ing The police are unable to solve
the mystery. Two theories are ad-
vanced. The children were either
killed by an enemy or maniac. If a
maniac it is feared other children
will be killed.
The belief is growing that the chill
dren were shot by a maniacal child
slayer The parents have been warn
ed TO keep watehful eye over their
children for fear the fiend may seek
other little lives

SUNDAY SCHOOL EQU|PS GYMNASIUM
FOR USE Of BOYS IN ATTENDANCE

Pendleton is to have Sunday
school gymnasium, IL the present
plans of John Lambirth of the Church
of the Redeemer Sunday school ma
terialize. Being an enthusiastic
worker in the Sunday school for many
years and almost as enthusiastic a
member of the Commercial associa-
tlon gymnasium class for many
months, Mr.. Lambirth has evolved the
idea Of a gymnasium for the use of
the boys of his Sunday school and 1t
seems that his plans are about to ma
terialize.
The old parish house, adjoining the
church, is to be transformed into a
gym. Mr.. Lambirth, himself, will be
director while every boy who regu-
larly attends the Sunday school will
be permitted to join the classes and
participate in the different exercises
and games.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-09-14

The affair will be self-supporting,
as Lambirth and his young wards
will find means of defraying the
slight expense which will be incurred
in fitting up and maintaining the
building.
The structure has been occupied by
the Christian church congregation
since the destruction Of their house Of
worship by fire one year ago, but
they are moving out this week and
will occupy the Southern Methodist
building on West Webb street, until
the new church is ready for occu-
pancy. The new quarters will be used
the first time tomorrow evening when
the prayer meeting will be held there.
The next occasion upon which it will
be used will be the social Thursday
evening, which will mark the resump-
tion of the social side OF the church
life for the fall and winter months.

it on display at the Hamley- -McFat-
ridge store by September %. 1t will
remain on exhibition there until the
fair opens, after which it will be ta-
ken to the fair grounds, where it will
be feature of the booth to be in
stalled by this enterprising firm. All
those who expect to participate in the
contest or who are in any way interest
ed in this or any other saddle are cor
daily invited to call at the store or
the booth and examine the saddle.
The complete details for the con-
test have not yet been worked out by
the fair management. It is probable,
however, that the contest will be held
at the ball park in the west end of
town or in the open space between
the fair pavilion and the o. r. & n.
freight house. A premium Of s5 will
probably be offered for every bad
horse that is brought in to be used
in the exhibition and il Is expected
that the contest will prove one 0f the
most successful features Of the fair.

courts before obeying the order.
Chairman Fairchild said:
appeal in my opinion will be use
less. our findings have been careful
ly drawn after long and exhaustive
investigation. any court will be i'm
pressed by the absolute fairness Of the
finding and the conclusions that ne
cessarily follow. The fact cannot be
escaped that the Northern Pacific on
state business alone made, in addi-
tion to per cent profit, more than
$1,OO0.0OO excess revenue during the
year. This year the net revenues will
be much larger. The only effect of
appeal to the courts will be to delay
the time at which the new reduced
rates go into effect"
