ber 5 and January 5.
2. Parties sending Christmas

do we'll to refrain entirely from
placing any Christmas emblems on
the packages, Austria, Norway and
Portugal absolutely refuse to de-
liver mail on which Christmas

2 CASES AGAINST C..
B. WADE DISMISSED
BY JUDGE PHELPS
Former PcndletOn Banker Was Al
legged to Have Misapplied Funds
Cases on Docket for Past Seven
Years Without Being Tried-Motion
to Dismiss Upheld.

After being untried upon the dock
ct of the local circuit court for the
past seven years, the two cases against
&c. b. Wade, former Pendleton bank
er who. it is alleged, misapplied bank
funds, We're today dismissed by Judge
iG. w. Phelps upon the motion of Dis
trict Attorney S. L. Van Vactor.
The original information charging
Wade with forgery and obtaining
money under false pretenses was filed
in 1905 by Judge Phelps himself who
was then district attorney. When
brought back to the city for trial, a
hearing was had at which Doctors c.
]. Smith, f. w. Vincent, j A. Best and
! w. G. Cole testified that the defend
ant was mentally incapable of with
standing the strain of n trial. lnfor-
nation from Los Angeles where he
has been for several years, has indi-
Gated to the court that his mental
condition has not improved and that
/ he has been earning a livlihood by
odd jobs.
/ Acting upon this information and
upon the belief that at this date a
trial would only be a drain upon the
county treasury and would either re-
suit in a hung jury or an acquittal
Judge Phelps allowed the motion tC
dismiss the cases.
Wade it will be remembered, in
vested heavily in the Golconda min,
in Baker county and his speculation
proving Improbable, involved himself
and his bank deeply. He himself wa.
ruined but the bank was able to EN-
erge safely.
