Men Have Narrow
Escape On R. R. Track

Tom Thompson, well known farm
er, and Deputy Sheriff Joe Blakely
came as near to death shortly before
noon today as they care to when a
special Elk train thundered down up
ON them as they were crossing the
O.-W. r. G. n. track mile or two
above the city where a warning bell
was recently installed. Blakely was
in a buggy and Thompson in his car
and they escaped being struck only
by prompt exercise of presence of
mind. Both claim that the bell was
not ringing and that they were una
ware of the approach of the train un-
til it was but a few feet away.
Blakely was driving into the city
from the reservation and behind him
came Thompson in his automobile.
The former states that he was listen
ing for the bell and is positive it did

WAY IS NOW CLEAR FOR CITY TO
GET TITLE TO CHAPUSH SPRINGS

President Taft has signed the bill
passed by congress, at the instance of
Senator Chamberlain, providing a
manner whereby the Pendleton water
commissin may obtain title to the
Chaplish springs, and the way is now
clear for the water board to proceed
with its work.
When informed today by a repre-
sentative of the East Oregonian that
the president had signed the bill, j.
T. Brown, chairman of the board, ex-
pressed pleasure and had the follow
ing to say about what may be expect
ed of the board:
"The bill passed authorizes the sec
retary of the interior to appoint ap-
praisers to determine the value of
the land and to set a price at which
it may be sold to the city. To carry

Washington, July S.-A formal de-
mand that Judge Archibald of the
commerce court, be impeached for
"misbehavior, high crimes and mis-
demeanors was made to the house
of representatives today by the judi
ciary committee. The committee de-
clared that Archbald's sense of NOR
al responsibility had become dead
ened that he has prostituted his
high office for personal profits"
Thirteen articles of impeachment are
presented in the resolution.
Exposure Caused Scandal
Testimony in the whole case, says
the report, tends to support the speci-
fication of general misbehavior. The
testimony shows Archibald at differ
ent times sought and obtained credit
and in other instances sought to OBJ
tain credit from persons who had
litigations in his court. Referring to
Archbalds business transactions re-
garding coal properties, the report
says: "such options, contracts and
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-07-08

on this work will require a little time
but we will be able to go ahead with
our development work without wait
ing for it to be entirely completed.
We have the consent of the depart
ment to do So"
This summer we will do work to-
wards determining the exact flow of
water at the Chaplish and Wenix
springs and we hope to have that fin
ished by fall, We will then be able
to tell exactly what we can secure in
the way of a water supply and the
proposition of selling the bond issue
will then be placed before the city
council. We will also lay some pipe
this summer to take the place of the
ditch that is in use along the O.-W
r. & n. right of way"

The crime was undoubtedly the
most brutal and horrible in the annals
of Umatilla county. Investigation of
the ground near where the body was
found indicates that a terrible strug-
gle ensued as the old squaw strove to
save herself from her assailant and
from a trail of blood leading into the
brush, the officers reason that after
being attacked and wounded, she
tried to escape but was overtaken
and killed after. which her body had
been thrown into the river.
Motive for Crime Not Clear.
The motive of the crime Is not clear.
Money was found on the body of the
squaw so that it is evident robbery
did not follow the murder. Major
Swartzlander, agent on the reserva-
ton. declares he is totally at a loss
to account for it and Peter Corbett,
son-in-law of the victim, could give
no explanation unless the murderer
was drunk. However, several In
dian women on the street this morn
ing declared tha- Columbia George
and A-Te-me-at have been quarrel
ing over some land and that on one
occasion they heard the former threat
en- to kill the squaw.
Murder Done on Saturday.
1t is believed the murder was done
Saturday evening, for the reason that
several packages of meat which A
te-me-at had purchased from the
entral Meat Market of this city on
that day were found still tied to her
saddle when her horse was discov-
cred. 1t was on that evening that
Columbit George and William Switzler
another Indian, took supper at the
Sam Bitner ranch two miles above
this city. While they were eating. ac-
cording to reports, A-te-me-at rode
up on her way to her tepee from this
city. Mr.. Btner's little girl, who was
the only one at the house when the
Indians left, declares the squaw rode
toward the river and was Joined by
Columbia George and together they
disappeared in the brush.
1t was only about an eighth of
mile from where she lost sight o
them that Ernest Bartz, an employ'
on the Bitner ranch, discovered the
body yesterday morning. Thinking
she had probably suicided, he tele
phoned to the coroner's office anC

BUCKAROOEST0 MEET
GRANDE TOMORROW

1t was a badly crippled, extremely
grouchy but still game bunch or
Buckarooes who came in this morn
ing from Walla Walla after losing six
out of seven contests to the Bears. To-
day they are resting and doctoring
their injuries, for tomorrow they COM
mence here upon six game series
with the rejuvenated La Granders
who last week copped five out of
seven games with Poise.
So crippled is the team that hardly
a man of the twelve is in condition to
play. Manager Garrett is still limp
ing painfully as result of the sprain
he suffered on the Fourth and will
probably be unable to play for a
week. Teck, the crack outfielder, is
also walking with a cane as the re-
suit of a swollen knee. He was out
of the game yesterday and will not
be able to play for several days un-
der the best of conditions. He is also
suffering from an attack of Ia grippe

once summoned Agent Swartzlander
and the local officers.
Murder Was Atrocious.
An examination of the body showed
that the skull had been crushed be-
hind the right ear and that another
blow had struck the righ cheek bone.
Five or six wounds, evidently inflict-
ed by a pocket knife were found on
her throat, while many others show
ed that she had been stabbed in the
cheeks, the eyes, ears and other parts
of her face.
From the river a trail of blood was
found leading to a spot where the
surface of the ground was torn up,
showing that a struggle had ensued.
The footprints of the woman were
found mixed with the imprints of the
moccasined feet of man and casts
were made of these latter and may
play an important part in determining
the identity of the murderer.
Trails of Blood.
Another trail of blood led off into
the brush and it was intercepted by
a larger trail evidently made by a
horse and the officers believe her
flight was intercepted by her assail-
ant on horseback. Here a handker-
chief in which was tied a five dollar
gold piece was found and near by
bottle party filled with alcohol. The
body was brought to the local morgue
and it is probable that postmortem
examination will be held.
Agent Arrests Accused.
Columbia George was arrested last
evining at the old agency where the
religious Indians are holding their
celebration by Major Swartzlander

cured to warrant that move He was
