]. w. Parkes, a freight brakeman
who was doing duty as a passenger
brakeman during the congestion Of
traffic. was seriously injured at the
local depot about O'Clock this morn
ing. Though he was still unconscious
when taken on to Portland, an hour
later, 1t is not believed that his in
juries will prove fatal though at that
time it was impossible to tell the ex-
tent of his injuries.
Parkes had come in on No. 9. the
delayed night train and was assist
ing in unloading trunks. In some
manner a great trunk Weighing in the
neighborhood of 500 pounds fell over
onto him, one corner striking him in
the face, breaking his nose and rem
dering him unconscious. 1t also
knocked him against the side of an
other car, seriously injuring his back.
Dr. Cole, the local railroad physician
was called and after giving the mans
injuries temporary attention, ordered
him taken on to Portland on the first
section Of train No. 5.
Parkes is young man, lives in La
Grande and though he has been acting
as freight brakeman for some time
this was his first trip on a passenger
train.

LITTLE GIRL TO INHERIT
ERNEST CASSEL MILLIONS

London.-No one knows how many
millions Sir Ernest Cassel, some times
on account of the kings friendship for
him sailed Windsor" Cassel, posses
es, but every one knows that they are
numerous enough to make his little
grand daughter, Miss Edwina Ashley.
one of the richest heiresses prospective
in England.
Sir Ernest is a widower with but
one child, daughter, who is married
to Wildfred Ashley, the grand nephew
and heir of Lord Palmerton, and the
Ashleys have but one child this daugh-
ter Edwina. King Edward has failed
to secure a peerage for his financial
adviser and friend, but Mr.. Ashley
on the death of his father will become
the master of Borderlands, the his
torical home Of the Palmerstones
whose peerage, it is said, will then bt
revived. So that the banker may yet
live to see his daughter a peeress o.
the realm.
Sir Ernest Cassel's rise is one o.
the romances of finance. He wa!
born of Jewish parents in Cologne
fifty-eight years ago, worked as ;
bankers clerk for few shillings ;
week came to London and by his bolt
work il promotions and flotation!
soon became a power in the city. l
was Cassel who financed the Assouai
dam project, which reclaimed the up
per Nile country. AT cost of owe
s125,000, 1000 and it was Cassel wh'
also financed London's subways.
But his most remarkable financia
exploit was on the occasion when h
handed the King check for a mill
ion dollars for founding a hospita
for consumptives.
Sir Ernest has two magnificent res
licences, Brook House in London, ono
the residence of Lord Tweedmouth
and country place at Newmarket.

GROCERY BURGLARS
CAUGHT IN TOLLS

With the arrest yesterday of Doug
lass French, aged H., the city and
county officers brought to termina-
ton n search of many months for the
perpetrators of three successful bur-
glaries. In addition to young French
the other guilty person Is Leo Lent,
who was arrested a few days ago with
some of the stolen goods in his pos
session The boy arrested yesterday
has made a complete confession, i'm
plicating Lent as well as himself, so
that there is no longer any question of
the guilt of the first one arrested
Both are young fellows, Lent being
only 20 years of age.
The crimes with which the young
men are charged are the burglarizing
of the store at Meacham the morning
of June 4th Of last year, the show
window of the same store, several days
later and the East End grocery rob-
berry which occurred on the night of
July IL.
When they committed the Meacham
burglaries the two young fellows had
camp on the north fork of Meacham
creek. They stole ham, a sack of
flour, some candy, overalls and sever
al pairs of socks. They transported
this stuff on a hand car to near the
mouth of the north fork and then
carried it from the track to their
camp. A part of this plunder, as
well as some of the cheap jewelry
stolen from the East End grocery
later, was found in the possession OF
Lent, who has been under the surveil-
ance of the local police ever since
the last of hte crimes was committed
Lent is still in Jail, but relatives OF
the other boy put up the bonds which
secured his freedom. The cases
against them will be investigated by
the grand jury.
