SERIOUS AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT IN Street
MRS. ED BARR AND
CHAS. M'BEE INJURED
Machine CoIlides With Cab and Nc
Bee is Thrown From Car-WithOut
Driver, Auto Runs Amuck and
Crushes Mrs. Barr Against Build
ing.

Mrs. Ed Barr lies at St. Anthony's
hospital with a fractured thigh and
other serious injuries while Charles
McBee, the well known stockman, lies
at his home in North Pendleton with
two ribs torn loose from his breast
bone and suffering from bruises and
sprains as a result of an automobile
accident which occurred on Main
street last evening. Both will prob
ably recover.
McBee was returning from the
Roundup grounds in his touring car,
having but one other passenger, Ches-
ter Reed. an East Oregonian carrier
boy, who occupied the back seat. Nc
Bee came up Alta street and slowed
down to make the turn onto Main
which was crowded at the time with
vehicles and pedestrians. He at
tempted to pass between rig and a
cab being driven by Baker. The lat
ter seeing there was danger of coll
ljsion reigned up his horses, and threw
them onto their launches. This
caused the tongue, which had caught
under the steering wheel of the car
to be jerked up suddenly, tearing off
the wheel and throwing McBee to the
pavement.
Without a driver and with the stear-
ing gear wrecked the car plunged on
and turned onto the sidewalk in front
Of the Office saloon. The walk was
crowded with pedestrians, all of whom
made frantic efforts to escape. Mrs.
Barr and young son were in the crowd,
the latter being far enough in ad-
vance to escape the onrushing car
which caught the mother and pinned
her up against the front OF the build
ing. A bicycle standing against the
wall also added to the confusion and
to the injuries which the woman re-
ceived.
McBee was dazed when struck by
the cab tongue and did not know what
happened after that. The woman was
rushed to the hospital while McBee
was taken to his home.
Few, II any of the eye witnesses to
the accident have attempted to place
the blame. McBee has the reputation
of being an exceptionally careful dri-
yer and is said never to have driven
the car fast during all the months
that he has owned It, Baker has
been driving cab on the streets of
Pendleton for years.
The accident is the most serious
and the most regrettable that has oc-
Cured in Pendleton since automobiles
came into general use.

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY
NEAR new ORLEANS

New Orleans, Sept. 27.-Sheriff's s
posses and bloodhounds, today are
trailing the train robbers who held
UP and robbed the mail car of the
California limited last night, and re-
ported 10 miles distant with the rob-
bers surrounded in a swamp. The
bandits made no attempt to molest the
passengers. and no one knew the rob-
berry was in progress until the robbers
fled and the alarm was given. They
secured five mail pouches, and two
sacks of registered mail.
The limited left this city at O'Clock.
II was ferried across at Avendale
reaching there at 10, and, while stand
ing on the siding waiting for the rest
of the train, the robbers entered the
car, backed the clerks into the wall,
threw out the sacks and fled with
them.

PRIZE SADDLE FOR ROUNDUP
IS MASTERPIECE Of CRAFT

The finest saddle ever made in Ore
gon is now on display IN the window
of the Hamley harness end saddle
store on Court street. 1t is the $3.50
saddle to be given to the man win
ming the championship of the north
west in the bronco busting contest at
the Roundup. 1t has been pro-
nounced by all who have seen it to be
by far the handsomest thing in the
saddle line this city has ever seen.
1t is full silver mounted, every bit
of the silver trimmings being made
from silver dollars. The work was
all done at the shop of Hamley & Son
by their employees and especially for
the Roundup. The silver work. even
to the goldheaded nails which hold
the silver horseshoes in place were
forged and engraved by the Hamley
silver smith so that the saddle is
strictly a Pendleton made article and
as such is as much credit to the
city as 1t is to the company putting it
out.
The skirts are lined with white
lamb skin, bordered and bound by
snokflake leather, the rosedaros and
all the jockeys are also lined with
snowflake leather giving the whole
a dainty, as well as beautiful appear
ance.
On each back skirt and back jock
ey is a large silver horseshoe, held in
place by gold headed nails. On the
front skirts and front Jockeys are sill
yer crescents and stars The horn
is capped with silver and over the
forks there is half circle Of silver
stars and buttons. The saddle is
stamped with flowers, every flower
having a silver center. Silver shields
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-09-27

also adorn the latigo loop and other
parts.
While the silver adds much to the
beauty and the value of the saddle It
is probably in the artistic stamping
that the superior quality of the work
done by the Hamley shop is display
ed to greatest advantage, though the
workmanship in every department
seems to be without a single flaw of
any kind. on each side jockey there
is stamped a steer roping scene which
would do credit to a Remington or a
Russell, while each one or the rose
daros is stamped with a bronco bust
ing scene. Both of these are COM
plete even TO the minute details of
landscape.
The most careful examination Of
workmanship on the saddle fails to
disclose the most insignificant part as
being overlooked in any particular,
while only the highest grade of leath-
er and other material has been used
in manufacture.
The saddle has already been viewed
by several score of people and those
to look at it during the next few
days will probably number into he
thousands. That the man who comes
into possession of it will never have
occasion to forget where and how he
won it. the word Roundup has been
artistically stamped on the front of
the cantle, while on the back of the
cantle are the words "Pendleton
Championship Saddle, 1870" and a
silver name plate with a place for
the winer"s name and the inscription
Made by Hamley & Son, Pendleton,
Ore, at the bottom of the plate is
"The Roundup.

TO PROBE CHARGES.
Canadian Telegraph Company Accus-
cd OF Injustice to West.

Winnipeg, Man, Sept. 27.-A ma
tional investigation into the methods
OF telegraph corporations doing busi-
ness in Canada will doubtless follow
the ruling of Chairman Mabee Of the
board OF Railroad Commissioners for
Canada. While in session the Winni-
peg board of trade complained that
the companies were discriminating
against the west in the matter of tolls
to make up for the small percentage
or profits reaped in the east. Chair
man Mabee said he would petition the
minister of justice at Ottawa to probe
the companies.

OF S. F. WILSON

According to the latest returns
available at o'clock this after
noon, Barrett is slightly in the
lead of Wilson foR joint senator.
The official count has not yet
been completed in Union county

u.s." said Secretary Thomas FitzGer-
aid of the fair commission this morn
ing. 1.-The exhibits this year are bet
ter than they have ever been before
excepting in one single line"
While the attendance yesterday was
better than for the opening day last
year It would have been greater still
had not the stores remained open
during the evening and had 1t not been
for the 25 cents admission charged.
Il is understood that most OF the
stores will close this evening and also
tomorrow evening so that the crowds
should be greater in accordance.
At the pavilion last evening the
crowd passed the evening inspecting
the many well arranged booths, In
meeting acquaintances and listening to
the Journal band. An excellent pro-
gram was rendered by the musicians
and the comments that are freely
made by those who heard the band
show that the music is we'll appreci-
ated. One of the feature numbers
last evening was the humoresque'
"what's the matter with Father?" A
selection from II Trovatore was also
we'll received. In rendering the Sc
lection Warriors Bold" the trombone
players arose and played the piece
standing.
Major York, who is directing the
Journal band Is a musician Of long ex-
perience, and, in the 32 young musici-
ans who are with him, has an organi-
xation OF which he is justly proud.
The Journal band plays with life and
snap and the programs are very much
to- date.

Tomorrow will be farmers union
day at the fair and the program dur
ing the afternoon will be managed by
the officers Of the union. 1t promises
to be one of the big days Of the week.

crowd to the pavilion for the after
noon. Jay Bowerman, republican
nominee for governor, has accepted
the invitation to speak that afternoon
in behalf of his party while Judge A.
8. Bennett of The Dalles, will repre-
sent the democracy.

dt o'3o give tdrTett majority OF 10
votes over Wilson.
Though w r. Ellis failed for re-
nomination to congress in the pri-
mary election Saturday. he carried
his own county by more than two
to one vote over Lafferty, his sue
cessful opponent, and polled more
votes in the county than all the other
three candidates combined. This 10
the showing made by the official
count for all the precincts in the
county. which was completed at
o'clock this morning.
Mann and Peterson will be the re-
publican nominees for the offices OF
state representative, while Wilson
leads Barrett in this county for joint
senator by 27 votes. while Barrett is
said to lead his opponent in Morrow
and Union counties by a very few
votes. Wilson is supposed TO have the
advantage in that it is said that some
election boards permitted democratic
votes to be counted for Barrett on the
republican tally sheet. Barrett was
given the democratic nomination in
this county over DR.. NJ. K. Hall of La
Grande, by vote of 50 TO IA. How
he Jared in the other counties Is not
known.
West Carries County.
In the democratic primaries, West
defeated Myers for the nomination
for governor by a vote Of 1877 to 154,
while Lane led Manning for congress-
man by 81 to 4s.
One Of the best races made in the
county was by Judge Henry ]. Bean
for the four year term for the su-
preme bench. He won out in his
home county with nearly 1000 votes
ahead of McCamant. nearly four to
one. He polled nearly four times as
many votes as did the assembly cam
didate.
The vote on governor shows that
a uuited assembly vote would prob
ably have easily encompassed the de-
feat of Bowerman, the assembly nom-
inee. Bowerman secured 500 votes,
while his opponents polled 757.
Strain Given Good Vote.
County Assessor Strain was given a
good vote in his home county in his
missioner. considering the light vote
cast in the democratic primaries. He
was given 293 to his opponents "a.

over her hand and brushed it with his
lips, for she was almost royal now.

this seems like an enchantment out Of
a fairy book and that l must soon

If only it might be an enchantment,
he thought-if only he might find her,
as the grim old chancellor had found
: her, in a garret! What? Dreaming
again. He shrugged.
"Why did you do that?" she asked
quickly.
''It was momentary dream I had,
and the thought of its utter impossi-
bility caused me to shrug."
This dream-was there not a wom-
an in it?'
"Oh, no; there was only an angel"
"You interest me; you always inter
est me. You have seen so many won
derful things. And it is angels"
"Only one, your highness." This was
daring. "But perhaps I am putting my
foot where angels fear to tread"
which was still more daring.
angels ought not to be afraid Of
anything" She laughed. There was
a pain and a joy in the sound of it.
She read his heart as one might read a

ground.

sought hers unfinchingy. The chan

of poverty, the smart of unrecognized

and her sympathies would always be

about her only vaguely knew, the pa

the poor.

and holding up his glass, "this night

The princess grew delicately pale as
the men and women sprang to their
feet. Every hand swept toward her,
holding a glass. She had surrendered
that morning-not because Sne wished
to be queen. not because she cared to
bring about an alliance between the
two countries. No; it was because she
was afraid and had burned the bridge

sat still in her chair, her lids dropped,

to him beyond all dreams of beauty.

In the ballroom the princess was
surrounded. Everybody fattered her,
congratulated her and complimented

The somber black of CarmichaePs
evening dress stood out conspicuously
among the blue and green and red uni
forms at the grand dukes dinner. Ell

cession on his part. He wore no orders.
The duke sat at the head Of the
table and her serene highness at the
foot And it was by the force of his
brilliant wit that the princess did not
hold in perpetuity the court at her end
of the table. For a German princess
of that time she was highly accom-
plished She was ardent, whimsical
with flashing mentality which round
