FAMOUS EXECUTION,

Marshalltown, Ia, Aug, 16.-Of the
little company of men who stood about
the scaffold in the death chamber of the
city Jail at washington, D. c., on that
morning of July Z, 1865, and saw the

ton, four were hanged from the scat

Company III, Second Regiment, United

1t will be cooler tonight. There will
also be fair weather tonight as we'll
as tomorrow. This Is the forecast for
the weather on the part Of Observer
Grasse OF the Moorhead weather bu-
reau. The weather today has been de-

The low pressure area has moved

COLLECTS FARES
FROM HOBOS
GEORGE CASEY, RELEASED ONLY
THREE DAYS, RETURNED TO
JAIL THIS NOON FOR IMPER.
soNATiNG N. p. FREIGHT CON.
DucToR-PAL GOES, TOO.

George Casey, who was released
from the jurisdiction of the district
court Friday on robbery charge was
arrested in Casselton last night with
an accomplish, James Morgan, and
bound over to the county court this
morning. Casey and Morgan were ar
rested at Casselton for impersonating
conductor and brakeman on the N.
P. railroad and for attempting to col
lect transportation from hobos on a
freight train. AS there is no law pro-
viding for such an offense both men
were arraigned before the police magis-
trate this morning under the hobo act.
Bail for each was fixed at $500 and
both went to Jail to await trial.
1t seems that Casey and Morgan
were attempting to beat their passage
out west and were taking advantage
Of the freight trains and gained emit
rance to an empty box car. When they
climbed inside, they found the car well
filled with hobos who were all doing
the same thing. Casey and Morgan
conceived the clever idea Of making
little money on the side while en-
1oying their free ride, by pretending
they were the freight conductor and
brakeman. They told the other yegg-
men that they would not insist upon
their getting out of the train If each
man slipped the roads" officials what
change they had in their pockets.
Some of the hobos did and some
didn't, and that's how the trouble be-
gan. At Casselton one of the "bos" re-
ported the two tricksters to the author
tiles there and they were promptly
placed under arrest and sent to Fargo
this morning. When asked in Cassel-
ton to explain the cause of a black eye
Casey is known to have carried around
with him several weeks, he said 1t was
given him while doing his duty by the
railroad and putting off the hobos from
the freights.
Both Casey and Morgan pleaded gulf
ty and were held to the county court.
which will probably not be in session
until after Sept i.
1t is stated that Casey himself has
quite lengthy police record and II Is
a laughable fact that his days of free
dom during recent years have been
numbered. No sooner does he get out
Of jail as a usual thing, than he COM
mits some misdemeanor which sends
him back. He was arrested recently
for holding up a man on lower Front
street and was only released by the
district court because Of the failure of
the complaining witness to appear
against him. In 1908 he spent ninety
days in jail for bootlegging. This

OUR MARKET LETTER
Receipts and Sales at Portland Union
Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, Or, June 11-Receipts
at this market for the week ending to-
day were: Cattle, 2054; calves, 395;
hogs, 1850; sheep, 61S3; horses and
mules, AZ.
The cattle market for the week has
been steady to strong, with the recov-
cry of from 15c to 25c from the break
of last week. The sheep market has
been strong to higher, while the hog
market assumed a steady position af-
ter the decline of the first part of the
week. The demand for cattle and
sheep has been brisk.
Happenings of interest to the live
stock trade has been the retirement of
William Shepherd. a longtime cattle
buyer at Portland, to look after his
own interests. The establishment of a
horse and mule market is also worthy
of note, and horse and mule raisers of
the Pacific Northwest can take advan-
tage of this opportunity of disposing
of their surplus draft animals.
Representative sales have been as
follows: Steers, $5.55 to $3.50; cows,
S425 to IS; calves, Sc to $3.50; hogs,
1896 to s9.7O; lambs, $3.50; sheep,

COUNTRY is LOSER
Higher Wages in Cities Attract
Trained Teachers.

me absolute need of a state system
OF training teachers is shown bv the
experience of the local school board.
me Pendleton teachers who are be-
ihs called TO more responsible and
more remunerative fields of labor are
the ones with normal school training
anu whose success has proved the
worth of such training. AS the supply
OF normal trained teachers in the state
Is limited, and as some of these are
pelng drafted into other states, it is
evident that the schools in some sec
tlons of Oregon must suffer. These
teachers must be recruited from the
ranks of those who have not been es
peclaily trained for the work in hand.
Fortunately for Pendleton the loss
Will not be felt so keenly here. at least
Tor some time to come, as it will be in
the small towns and country districts.
Beng able to pay large salaries, the
local school board has been able to
choose from the best teachers avail
able in eastern Oregon to fill vacan-
cies, Indeed, in the present instance,
one of those recently elected comes
from the willamette valley, while an
other comes from Chicago.
Thus while Seattle, Portland and
Spokane frequently call upon Pendle-
ton for the best of her teachers. Pen
dleton in turn calls upon the best that
are to be found in the small towns and
country districts, with the result that
the direct loss is passed on to the
latter. The small towns and country
districts are therefore the ones which
will be compelled to put up with non
trained teachers.
In discussing the proposition this
City Superintendent Landers
declared that the need of a system of
state normal schools is unquestionable
He was of the opinion that the states
educational standard will suffer unless
some provision is made for the train
ing of teachers at state expense
