DICK SULLIVAN IS
P|N0CLE CHAMPION

All hail his nibs, Dick Sullivan, pre-
mier Pendleton pinocle player and
defender of the title Of city cham
pion. Salute him with the kow tow
and salaam for his achievement has
raised him far above the common
rabble and only the mighty now care
approach him without obeisance.
Neither riches or empire has he gon.
but his head Is crowned with laurels 4"
The final and deciding game OF the
great tournament in which twenty
men have been competing during tpe
past two weeks took place last night.
By the process of elimination, all of
the contestants were relegated to the
ranks of interested spectators until
only Sullivan and Hal Corby alone
were left with a percentage sufficient
ly high to entitle them to receive rec
ognition from the prize awarder. Both
had succeeded in tucking away thir-
teen of their nineteen games and they
were first tied for the pinocle honors.
Last nights game, won by Sullivan,
decided the tie, and by an agreement
made prior to the game, the winner
takes down the first and second
prize which in the aggregate is ten
dollars in trade at the Welch cigar
store in which the tournament was
/ held.
The game itself was well worth
watching By 1880 the local cohorts
| Of each contestant had arrived on the
| scene of battle and had taken their
| places at the back of their favorite
| to encourage him by their presence,
for by the rules of the tournament nc
suggestions could be offered. Sulli-
van made the first deal and by the
time the hand was played out, the odds
were in favor of Corby, who had Sc
cured a lead Of 10 points. The Sec
ond hand was the determining one
however and was unanimously pro
nounced one of the most phenomena
of the entire tournament. 1t was {

Amnntates His Brush.

Chief of Police Tom Gurdane has
a singularly youthful appearance to-
day the result of the amputation of
the hirsute adornment which has de-
corated his upper lip for these many
moons. Some of his friends believe
he sacrificed it in order to disguise
himself but the chief states that he
only submitted to the separation be-
cause of the fact that a few silver
threads had crept into the brown and
wede tell tale evidence of his age.

any line on the material for the local
team. President Nelson thinks there
is every indication that the city can
put a team in the field, the equal or
superior to that of last year. Most
of the old men are still in the city,
Harlan being the only one whose alb
sence will be noticed, but there is
considerable new material come in
since the close of last season which
will more than balance the loss of
the young twirler.
The local boys will also have one
of the best grounds in the state TO
play on this year when Roundup park
is completed and this fact will prove
an element of value in the developing
of a good team.

Lumber Company Elects.

At meeting of the stockholders OF
the Inland Empire Lumber company
in this city last night, DR.. M. s. Kern
was elected as president, H. M. Straw,

son as secretary-treasurer. Improve
ments, consisting of new coal sheds
at both Hermiston and Stanfleld and
a store and office at Hermiston, the
whole cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, was decided upon, as, in the
opinion of the stockholders, the grow
ing business of the company makes
the need Of such buildings imperative.

TODHUNTER AND
DUPU|S ARE JAILED

Once again are Ernest Toddhunter
and Harry Dupuis in the tolls of the
law and indications are that this time
they are seriously involved. They are
now implicated in a burglary case,
Charles Bowers. the young man who
broke his parole on the night he was
released from Jail, having implicated
them in the burglary of the Koch sec
ond hand store. They were arrested
by Chief Gurdane last night and
portion of the plunder found upon
them.
Bowers was released from the coun-
ty Jail on Monday afternoon and that
evening Sheriff Taylor noticed him
in the company of Toddhunter and
Dupuis and took occasion to remind
him that he was keeping bad COM
pany for a man out on parole and at
the same time he warned the other
two men against leading Bowers into
trouble. Therefore, when the latter
was arrested for the burglary, the Of
ficers were certain that the other two
men were implicated in the deed.
Inasmuch as part of the plunder
was found in their possession, 1t seems
probable that a charge of receiving
stolen goods would not be difficult to
prove. although both men state they
| received the goods from Bowers
without the knowledge that they had
| been stolen. This the officers refuse
! to credit because of the fact thai
! Toddhunter had been in the county
! Jail with Bowers and knew that HI
did not have any watches, safety ra
| zors and knives in his possession.
Both men will be- given a prelimi
nary hearing this afternoon at
o'clock in Judge Parkes' court.
