OLD GAME TRIED
ON LOCAL MAN

The Spanish Prisoner" swindlers
will not down. aud they still think
that Umatilla county is a good har-
vest field despite the fact that but
one of their selected victims has
"bit" during the years in which they
! have been operating.
Royal Sawtelle. the well known To-
cal jeweler, Is the latest Pendletonian
to be offered the opportunity of Sc
curing a modest fortune of $16O,OOO,
the only requirement for which is
the payment of the expenses of the
trial in which the unfortunate writ
er was sent to prison. This done. the
portmanteau in which is contained
secret packet will be recovered and
the secret packet will be the means
of reclaiming a sum amounting to
$4SO,O00, of which Mr.. Sawtelle is Of
fered the third for his services.
The chief point wherein this letter
differs from the many others receiv-
ed hereabouts from the swindlers is
in the failure OF the writer to claim
relationship to the local jeweler. The
following is the reading of the epis-
tie:
Madrid the 29-9-1912.
Dear Sir: 'f2i
Although 1 know you only from
good references of your honesty, my
sad situation compels me to reveal
you an important affair in which you
can procure modest fortune, saving
at the same time that of my darling
daughter.
Before being imprisoned here I was
established as a banker in Russia, as
you will see by; the enclosed article
about me of many English newspa-
pers which have published my arrest
in London.
1 beseech you to help me obtain a
sum of 100000 dollars 1 have in Am
erica and to come here to raise the
seizure of my baggage by paying to
the registrar of the court the ex-
penses of my trial and recover my
portmanteau containing secret
packet where 1 have hidden the doc
ument indispensable to recover the
said sum. AS reward 1 will give
you the third part. viz. 160, 900 dol
lars. 't '''~
I cannot receive your answer in the
prison but you must send a cablegram
to a person of my confidence who
will deliver it to me. Awaiting your

BIG BLOW FORETELLS
COMING OF WINTER

A herald Of departing Indian sum-
nler and oncoming winter was the
b g blow of yesterday, according to
local weather prognosticators, and
Umatilla county residents may ex-
pect the mildness of the air to give
way to a frosty chill.
Starting about 10 O'Clock Wednes-
day night, the wind gradually in
creased in violence until early Thurs
Gay morning it had attained veloc-
ity Of about forty miles an hour, ac-
cording to the best estimates made.
This was the first wind storm of any
consequence since July 20 when a
fifty mile gale blew its course over
the county for a short time.
The storm yesterday did no great
damage. although in the fruit sec
tlons of the county 1t shook many ap-
pies loose from the trees. Here In
Pendleton it stripped most of the
trees bare of their brown foliage and
kicked up enough dust to make house
wives mad and pedestrians mutter In
unpleasant tones.

Negroes to Supplant Foreigners.

colored laborers came in this morn
ing on the N. P. local and will be
sent out to join one of the crews
and as soon as others can be secured
it is said they will be put to work
and the swarthy foreigners dismiss
ed. The reason for the change, ac'
cording to reports, is the difficulty
encountered in keeping full crew Of

The following letter was written

took five mile trip today. On both
sides Of the road were great fields
of waving grain. AS far as eye could
see was an ocean of greenish blue,
that of unripened wheat, on one side
of the road, while on the other side
one could see the golden waves Of
barley waiting for the harvesters. l
returned to my daughters home late
in the evening with bushel TO wild
cherries.
Then on the following afternoon, a
terrible black cloud came from the
west, roaring, and accompanied with
loud crashes of thunder and vivid
lightning, and wind that carried
things before it like gigantic sweep.
In few minutes the storm was upon
us and in less than thirty minutes
all that great expanse of grain was
moved to the ground for miles and
miles by the pelting hail and driving
rain
This morning the poor, discouraged
farmers, with downcast faces, were
asking one another: What shall we
do for the winter?" Two years ago
they lost nearly all their crops with
the drouth, this summer the hail has
destroyed their crops.
Since I have witnessed these ter-
rible hail storms (this being the Sec
ond in ten days while l have been
visiting my daughter) am ready
to return to my home in Ladysmith,
thanking God We do not have such
terrible hail storms there.
Sincerely,
Mrs. II. S. GRAHAM.

CHANGE IN. TRAINING SCHOOL
FACULTY

Miss Viola Wightman, who for
the last year had chaage of the Mod
ell School and the work in Music in
the Training School, recently re-
ceived a call to come to the State
Normal School at Whitewater, and
do similar work in the County
School department in that institu-
ton. The compensation offered was
so much in advance of what our
School is in position to pay, that
her request for release from her con-
tract here was granted, and she has
accepted the position at Whitewater.
Miss Nellie c.. Morrissey, of Ocon-
to, has been employed as successor
to Miss Viola Wightman. From the
information that was furnished, our
Board feels safe in predicting that
'the right person" has been secured.
In Miss Morrissey, we are confident
that the Model School will have a
competent, sympathetic and broad
minded teacher, and that the stu
dents of the Training School will
find the help and inspiration adapted
to their needs.

but as yet there has been but slight

Deer are very plentiful this
year. Several of the farmers have
been making complaints on account
OIL the deer feeding on their crops.
The hill west of the Main Creek
bridge is being cut down. The work
lis being done by Charles Conrath
and will greatly improve the road.
The potato warehouse is being line
with plaster board, which improves
the appearance greatly and renders
it less liable to frosts in the winter.

the Misses Demler, who have been
staying at Conrath for the past two

day.

generally filled up with water after
