BLOWN UP IN A NINE

AS result of Il premature explosion
in the Defiance mine VIM. Abrams is
IA patient in the Glenwood sanitarium
with the left eye entirely gone AMI
with the probability very strong that
his right eye will also be sightless
there being but the faintest hope at
present that this member can be saved.
The accident occurred last Sunday
New Years day just after Abrams and
Billy Richards who was working with
him in the tunnel had spoken to each
other about going to the cabin to par
ticipate in a New Years dinner. They
had put in six holes across the breast
of the tunnel and had the powder and
fuse in place and had started to light
the shots. Abrams had lighted his
three fuse and was applying the candle
to those on Richards side of the tun
mel and talking to Richards at the
same time.
Richards noticed the fire in one of
the shots first lighted by Abrams run
ming up the fuse more rapidly than
usual and shouted warning to his
partner and at the same time started
to run back to a place of safety but
he was too late. The six shots went
off almost simultaneously and when the
men picked themselves up from the
floor of the tunnel where they had
been hurled and began to take stock
of themselves they realized that the
result was serious enough.
The men, helping each other, finally
reached the cabin where Bert Abrams
and Joe Pease were preparing dinner
Abrams face was terribly cut by the
flying rocks and it soon seemed plaiu
to all that both eyes had been blown
out. His right hip also seemed broken
but this proved to be only a disloca
ton. Richards was badly shaken up
but his injuries proved to be only flesh
bruises and not serious in their ma
ture.
Joe Pease at once made the trip down
the perllous mountain trall TO ShoSnone
and phoned the news to Glenwood.
Although not relshing the trip DR.. G.
NJ. Stewart consented to face the storm
and go to the aid of the injured men.
He dressed Abrams face and eyes and
kept him as comfortable as possible
during the night and the next day
d.,
down the trail, the trip requiring four
hours for six strong men.
From Shoshone the trip was made
to Glenwood in the ambulance and
Abrams was placed in the sanitarium
where Drs. Crook and Stewart bound
up the dislocated hip while DR.. j.
| Clyde Smith is making every effort
possible to save part of the sight
but with scant hope of success.

RAILROAD MEN
TO GET new TRIAL

Denver, Jan. 3.-The supreme court
today reversed the action of the lower
court of Montrose in the case of R. l..
McLey and James Lack when they were
sentenced from % to 30 years in the
state prison for robbing a d. & R. G..
safe at Paonia about year ago. The
men were indicted for the crime and
then arrested, tried, convicted and sen
tenced in one day. The men declared
that if they were given a weeks time
they could get money for their defense
and produce witnesses to show that
they were hundreds of miles away
from Paona when the robbery occurred.
Judge Shackleford refused to grant
this time and they were rushed to Jail
in one day. The supreme court today
over ruled this decision and ordered
that they be given another trial and
that the Judge give them time to pro
duces witnesses and money.
The higher court held that there
was not one word during their trial
that could substantiatc the claim that
they could not get the money for their
defense and could not get witnesses
for an alibi 1t held that when a man
is arrested. tried, convicted and sen,
fenced in one day, without being given
the short time asked for the purpose OF
getting defense he has been wronged,
The two men will be returned to
Montrosc for new trial.

tanned that the Scherer company was
allowing to go to waste approximately
ninety cubic feet of water per second
of incalculable value. Seven feet of
water, the Farmers company held, was

The Glenwood post., 1911-01-07
DIDN'T NEED so MUCH

Judge Bliss held that one and one
half inches of water was sufficient for
the cultivation of the lands in question;
that the evidence showed that at no
time since the defendant company held
its priority right had its actual con
sumption ever exceeded eighteen cubic
feet In 1903 the court declared the
company had offered for sale the ba
lance of its appropriation beyond ac-
tual consumption, which was in effect
a declaration of intention to abandon
ITS full appropriation. Abandonment,
Judge Bliss held, consists of nonuse.
and it was on this ground that his de
cision was reached.
The Weld county farmers were repre-
sented by l.. +. Twitehell of Denver
and Joseph C. Ewing of Greeley.

By a decision handed down today by
Judge Bliss, the Scherer Land and I'm
provement company of Weld county Is
deprived of water rights involving $50, !
600 acres of land bordering the South
Platte river from Denver to Greeley,
representing money value of $3.50, 600.
The adjudication was the result of =
suit brought against the land company
by the Farmers Independent Ditch
company of the same county to have
its appropriation from the Jay Thomas
ditch restricted. The land company
held priority right to flow of
l04.35 cubic feet per second, which the
court decreed should be restricted to
eighteen cubic feet per second. A val
ue of $4,000 per cubic foot is placed
upon these rights. ar

The decision is of widereaching eff

decree an irrigation company, no mat

HE WONT LEND IT.

In response to a request from the
Commercial club, made at the in
stance of the local bankers, Pendle-
ton is to have a postal savings bank.
After it is established those who de-
sire to do so may use Uncle Sam as
a banker Small sums may be left
upon deposit and it will be absolutely
safe. The postal bank will fill a want
yet a wan that is not pressing in
Pendleton. Most people will prefer
t. use the regular banks for manifold
reasons. One very powerful reason
why the regular banks will continue
to be generally patronized is the fact
that at times men wish to borrow mon
ey and Uncle Sam makes no provision
for lending any of his coin to his pat
rons.

FoR 1T.

Though the decision of the supreme
is of vast Importance it is not likely
the decision will have any great eff
feet on the financial world. The de-
cision was no doubt fully discounted
by those most interested. In his fl
nancial review under date of May IS
Henry Clews predicted that the court
would decide the standard oil case
yesterday and said;
The Supreme Court has already so
clearly indicated in recent decisions
its determination to place nothing but
the strictest Interpretation on mat
tiers pertaining to trade restraints, hat
the popular expectation of adverse
rulings in the current cases is very
natural. 1t should be understood that
it is not within the province of our
Supreme Court to outline to the cor
porations concerned how they may
readjust their affairs to meet legal re-
quirementsy The province of the SUI
preme Court is to deal solely and
specifically with any invasion of legal
practice. The Court can show where
in the law is being violated, but, af-
ter that. it will rest upon the proper
officials to adjust the affairs of their
corporations accordingly. In this re-
spect, however, there will be no spe-
cial difficulty experienced, as the ex-
ecutives Of the Standard Oil Co, and
probably not less so of the American
Tobacco Co, have in the past shown
themselves to be such shrewd and eff
ficient business men hat it would be
childish 10 believe arrangements have
not already been considered to
promptly take whatever action may be
necessary to comply with the decis-
ions whichever way they may 60"
No doubt this is entirely correct
The Standard oil company can well
afford to comply with the law-now
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-05-16
TWO GREAT DECISIONS.

Two of the most important decis-
ions ever given by the United states
supreme court were rendered yester-
day. Both are liberal or progressive
decisions n they are in keeping
with the sentiment of the nation. This
despite the widespread opinion that
in naming new men for the supreme
bench President Taft selected men of
~standpat rather than progressive ten
denotes.
Those who stand for the American
doctrine OF equal rights to all and
special privileges to none will rejoice
that the supreme court overrules the
decision of the court that sentenced
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison to
jail. These labor leaders were charg-
ed with contempt of court for having
broken an order which forbade them
from publishing the fact hat the
American federation Of laLC- va u
war with the Buck range company.
What they published was the truth.
and had Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
rison gone to Jail they would have
been martyrs to the cause Of free
speech as well as to the cause of la
Dor. The sentencing to Jail of the
three labor leaders seemed especially
harsh in view of the leniency the gov
ernment has frequently shown offend
ers on the other side of the Capital
Labor controversy.
In the Standard oil case the supreme
curt has given what seems like the
only possible opinion. That the Stand
ard oil company is a monopoly in re-
straint Of trade has been known for
q generation to almost every man,
woman n child in the United States.
The Rockefeller millions owe their
existence to the fact that the oil trust
has been a monopoly and a ruthless
one at that. If half the stories pub
lIshed regarding the methods Of the
oil trust are true then the wonder is
not that the decision has been given
against the company but rather that
this decision has been so long delayed.
Why was the decision not given yeara
ago before the oil trust had made col
ossal fortunes for its operators. WHY
is It, since the court rules that the
trus. IS illegal, the court does not or
der that restitution be made the peo-
pie Of the United States? If the trust
Is Illegal 0 IT has been illegal all
the time and the millions that have
been taken in by John D. Rockefeller
n his associates have been secured
in violation Of the law.
To be sure it might not be expedien.
t. confiscate the Standard oil fortunes
Such action OF the part of the cour.
would tear our business system up BY
the roots and millions of people asid,
from Rockefeller would suffer in con.
sequence. Yet If the court carried IT,
action to the logical conclusion som,
such step as this could be ~reasonabI!
taken.
Having RETAINED from demandin,
tina the Rockefeller millions be givel
back to the public the supreme cour
did well TO show equal moderation
towards labor by refusing to sem

portland, Or, May 10, 1911.
Editor East Oregonian:
The finding. of a copy Of the PEN
dleton Tribune in the cornerstone of
the old Episcopal church reminds me
of an article which appeared in that
paper about the year 1875. News was
probably rather scarce and the editor,
NJ. H. Abbott, wrote a two column ar
ticle describing his beautiful dog,
which had strayed away. 1t was a
very pathetic article describing his
sufferings because of the absence Of
the beautifully described dog. L was
living at Weston at the time and
Charlie Potter, the veteran stage
driver whom all old timers will re-
member, was driving between PEN
dleton and Walla Walla. We all felt
so bad about the loss of Abbott's dog
that we sent him several from Yves
ton mi among the lot was one big
old. fat, greasy fellow hat had be-
come quite a nuisance around the
streets. In sending him, RUDE Bask-
EFT wrote a very pathetic letter, stat
ing how we hated to part with him
and how we hoped he would fill he
aching void cause by the loss of his
beautiful me
Potter objected to carrying the
dirty ours, but as the charges were
prepaid he had to take them. Walla
Walla, La Grande n Baker City
contributed several of undisputed
pedigree, but none could compare
with the beauty we sent him from
Weston. Brother Abbott al no. g.
joy the joke very much but HI never
advertised any more lost dogs.

does it? Better stop crying"

There is much said about the dig
nifty and sanctity of the law but it is
noticeable that when really big decis-
ions are made expediency is always a
great factor and it is probably a good
thing this is the case.
