ANOTHER BAD CHECK
ARTIST IS ARRESTED

Pendleton seems to have an affin-
ity for bad check artists despite the
fact that very few are ever successful
in eluding the vigilance of the city
and county officers. Another one Sc
cured money here last evening and
was arrested this morning at Pasco
by officers in that city upon receipt
of advices from the local sheriff's
office.
Undeterred by the fate of Louis
Livingston. who was recently taken
into custody the day after he fleeced
a dozen of Pendleton's leading mer-
chants. Frank \. Weber, a man about
thirty five years of age who has been
employed by local sheepmen for the
past few months, last night made out
a bogus check for fifteen dollars
which was cashed by Tom Swearin-
gen proprietor of the French restau-
rant. He has been boarding at that
restaurant for number of weeks and
the proprietor had no suspicion that
the check was not valid. The check
was made out to himself, properly en-
dorsed and was drawn upon the FIRST
National bank of this city. At the
time he presented the check Weber
stated that Mes Ankcny would Nouch
for its validity.
When the check was presented to
the bank this morning TOR Payment
It was learned that the man had new
er had funds deposited there aud the
officer were therefore notf ed AS
Mr.. Swearingen remembered that the
man was to leave this morning with
Angus McPherson's train load OF
sheep for North Yakima, Deputy
Sheriff Blakeley notified the Officers
at Pasco to intercept the man, which
was done without difficulty
Mr.. Swearingen states that the mar
was slightly intoxicated at the tim,
he passed the check. He is Span

University of oregon, Eugene, Ore,
May 12-Pendleton high school looks
like a winner in the state interschol-
astic meet which is being held here
today under the auspices of the Uni
versity of Oregon. The preliminar-
les were run off this morning and
Gordon, Fee, Devine and Jordan all
qualified for the finals. There were
not enough entries in the distance
runs to Justify preliminary races but
Boylen is conceded to be one of the
strongest candidates for these events.
Taylor and Dickson and Dickson were
both kept out of the meet owing to-
the six man limit placed on the
teams.
Captain Gordon qualified in both
the hundred yard and two twenty
yard dashes while Devine made places
in all three of the weight events, the
shot put and the hammer and discus
| throws Fee won second place in the
high hurdle finals and is qualified in
the pole vault and high jump. Art
Jordan placed in the two twenty pre-
| liminaries.
There was no preliminary race in
tho low hurdles in which race both
Chapman and Jordan ar@ entered. The
high hurdles was the only events in
which the finals were held this NOR
ming and the others are in progress
this afternoon. The day is rainy and
the track very muddy which makes
fast time impossible.
While Pendletor's chances of vic
tory are bright, Washington high
school of Portland is also a strong
contestant and the championship hon.
ers will undoubtedly fall to one OF
these two schools.
There are in all 1S1 entries from all
parts of the state. The only school
from outside the state to be repre-
scented is the Vancouver high school,.
which is a member of the Portland
Intercholastic league. There are %

UMAT|LLA COUNTY HAS
COYOTE SCALP RECORD

Nearly S400 has been paid by the
county clerk since May l as bounty
for the scalps of predatory animals
and Umatlla county may safely be
said to have the record in this line
of expenditure Since the first of
the month 257 coyote hides, two bob
cat pelts and one wild cat skin have
been brought to the court house and
the scalps have been detached. This
is an average of over 21 coyotes a
day, which will be welcome news to
the sheepman. The county pays $3.50
bounty for every coyote scalp and 50
for the others so that the hunter is
amply repaid for his service.
The Portland Journal yesterday
featured a story from Walla Walla
to the effect that 247 coyote scalps
had been received at the court house
in that city since April l, or during
a period of forty days. This county
has received more than that number
in less than a third Of that time.
Jim Billy, an Indian on the reser-
vaion, is high man during this pc
riod. Wednesday he brought in the
scalps of forty coyotes for which he
received $50. Jim Barnhart is Sec
ond with 81 scalps to his credit. ..
