ped his horse and asked him few
questions Meyers said he was hum
cry. and Larden took him to his
home. where they arrived in time
for supper. A the supper table
Myers said IL he could secure a BIZ
cycle. so he could reach Portland he
would be able to make his escape.
The retired pastor advised Meyers
strongly against such an attempt, say
ing 1t would be folly, and told him he
would be captured eventually and the
best method would be to submit TO
arrest peaceably. Meyers finally ac-
auiesced, and the two drove to Salem

RYAN MURDER CASE
ABRUPTLY TERMINATES
MISTAKE IN INDICTMENT
CAUSES DISMISSAL.
Discovered This Morning That Pris-
oner Was Charged With Killing
George Instead of Edward Dixon
Case Wtll Have TO Go Back to
Grand Jury.

Because the Indictment returned by
the grand jury charged Mike Ryan
with the murder of George Dixon
when Edward Dixon was the man
killed, the Ryan murder trial came
to a sudden end this morning. Dis
covering the mistake in the indict-
ment District Attorney Phelps did
not wish to risk the chances of a re-
versal of the case at the hands of the
supreme court and therefore moved
that the Indictment be dismissed, and
this was done.
The eleven prospective jurors who
had been passed for cause, and who
have been kept under lock and key
since Saturday evening, some of them
since Friday forenoon, were turned
loose The special veniremen who
had been ordered to report here this
morning We're also allowed to depart
and the entire case will be worked
over from the beginning.
The grand jury has been ordered
to report at once and there is a pos
sibility that the case will yet come to
trial at this term Of court, though it
IS probable that it will go over until
the January term. When it does
come to trial there will be additional
quibbling over the legality of the Sec
ond indictment so that the unfortu-
nate mistake will result in still more
delays and expense. AS it is the
county has been put to a great ex-
pense, considerable time has been
in getting a jury, still 9TH
er time was consumed by the grand
Jury in making its original investiga-
ton and all to no purpose because of
4 seeming insignificant error in the
Indictment.

C, H. Carter Says City Cannot
Put Present Light Company
Out of Business.
FAVORs NEW WATER
SYSTEM If FEASIBLE
Answers G. =. Strains Con-
tention That Present Company Has
No Binding Franchise-Northwest-
ern Company Secured Rights Held
by Original Electric Company
City Cannot Arbitrarily Revoke
Privileges Granted.

Pendleton, Ore, Oct. II, 1909.
Editor East Oregonian:-
Dear sir-My attention has been.
called to an article by Councilman c.
P. Strain, published in your issue Of
the 7th instant, wherein he suggests
that the establishment of an improved
water supply for our city is not now
practicable from a business point of
view, unless it be established in con-
nection with a municipal electric
plant.
Mr. Strains views are worth con-
sdering, and he has evidently given
his subject some thought. Whatever
will bring to our citizens a good sup
ply of pure water. a supply which can
be relied upon at all seasons of the
year, is certainly much to be desired
and 1, for one, should advocate it If
reasonable from a business stand
point but if the procuring of such
water supply depends upon the city's
ability to cancel the franchise of the
pany within the corporate limits, I
do not think there is much hope of
getting it,
This franchise was granted origi-
nally to the Pendleton Electric Light
& Power company by an ordinance
passed on October 16, 1888, which
was drawn by Mr.. Minor, now of
Portland. The present company (The
Northwestern Gas & Electric Coz
succeeded to call the rights, fran
chises and privileges heretofore
granted to the Pendleton Electric
Light & Power Co" by the provisions
of ordinance No. 412, passed Septem-
Der %, 1908, and as long as the pres
ent electric company complies with
the provisions of these two ordinances
its franchises will continue, for it is
a rule of law that city cannot arbi-
trarily revoke or declare forfeited IL
censed rights and privileges unless
the right to do so is reserved in the
ordinances granting them. And no.
such reservations exist in either of the
ordinances above named.
Let us, then. endeavor to work out
our water supply question by some
other means than through the hope
of taking away the franchises of the
N W. G.. & E. Co. Surely there
must be some way to help ourselves
without destroying Cor attempting to
Destroy the property of others.

OPENING CR|D|RON BATTLE To
BE FOUGHT HERE FRIDAY NEXT

Altough they met defeat at the
hands of the big Whitman college
eleven Saturday, the Pendleton high
school football team is getting into
trim for the game Friday with the
Walla Walla high school. This
school is one of the time-honored RI
walls of Pendleton, and this year Wal

val because the team outweighs Pen
dleton IL pounds to the man or more.
But in spite Of this handicap and
the bruises sustained in the Whit
man game the local boys are practic-
ing loyalty and are going to open the
high school season with ginger Since
the return from Walla Walla the
team has been weakened by the loss
of McDill, the fullback. McDills

Snyder will take Devines plase in the
line.
Hawley Bean, manager of the high
school team this year, is now arrang-
ing for a big football rally Thursday
night. The rally will be held on high
school campus and will be for the
purpose of generating some school
spirit to let loose the following after

Gould you eat your canary or your

they are pets, as dogs or canaries are.
You have raised them they have

you. and you like them"
He shuddered.
Il remember when we killed and
stewed old Mary Jane She had
