YOUNG Man ADMITS
STEALING SADDLE

Charged with the larceny of sad
die from Robinson Minthorn, well
known Indian, Albert Bowlsby well
known Pendleton young man, is in
the county Jail awaiting the action of
the law. He has acknowledged his
guilt and his case is now in the hands
o. the grand jury which will probably
report this evening.
The larceny was committed about
a month ago. the saddle being taken
from the back of Minthorn's horse
while it was tied near the Neagle
blacksmith shop. At the same time
another saddle was taken from the
back of horse belonging to an In
dian named Johnson. The police
were unable to locate the property
but yesterday Minthorn himself rec
ognized his saddle hanging in the Du-
puis second hand store.
He notified Chief Kearney who took
up the scent. The store had secured
the saddle from John Butler who in
turn stated that he had purchased it
! from young Bowlsby. Confronted
with the evidence. the latter at first
denied having had the saddle but soon
admitted his guilt.
Several months ago, he was arrest
! ed and charged with stealing 500
from the safe in the office of the Mark
Moorhouse Co. where he had been
/ employed. The case was dropped
however owing to lack of evidence.
! Since then, he has been employed in
the Western Union office.
Robinson Minthorn is an uncle of
Wilfrid Minthorn whose saddle was
recently stolen in like manner and for
which Coyote Bill Blevins is now
under indictment.

Instead of picking the new grand
jury Monday at the commencement of
the term of court as in the past, Judge
Phelps may wait until the close of
the term in order that the full panel
of jurymen may be available for the
cases to be tried. The old grand jury
will probably submit its final report
this evening after which it will be
discharged. Under the established
custom, seven new jurors would be
chosen Monday, after which they
would be free to go home until call
ed to investigate new criminal cases.
Under the new plan they would have
to remain through the term for use
on trial juries.

GOING SLOW.

The decision of the Ways and Means
Committee 10 retain revenue duty on
raw wool is in line with the policy of
moderate tariff reductions. The wool

UNDEMOCRATIC SCHOOLS.

II will probably surprise most New
Workers to find the city high schools
criticised as "undemOcratc." They have
been inclined 10 think that. whatever
else their defects. they were AT least the
institutions of the common people.
Yet in the two ma iOr respects in which
pr. CALVIN q. Davis condemns them
they are beyond question undemocratic
and i'll adapted TO fit For life the great
body of the children who receive no
further education.
schools of the people should he near
the people New York has built enor-
nous structures at great distances
apart. They are monuments 10 archi-
tects and the pride Of school princi-
pals. but they are not the people :
schools, because too many of The pu-
uiiS who ought TO attend them can only
90 50 at an expense Of AT least 30 cents
week for carfare, and that il a Serl-
Gus burden to many poor family. If
instead Of building few vast and ex-
tavagantly equipped plants with the
stre attachments. the city had brought
its high school teaching in many smaller
and more modest buildings within
easier reach Of the people ii would
have served them better.
Then a high school course patterned
chiefly rs preparation for college is
not democratic. BY all means let the
city fit for college boys and girls who
want TO 90 there. That is democratic.
The door OF opportunity should be shut
on no one. But let 1t also face the fact
that the majority OF these pupils want
preparation for the economic struggle
Of life. Let Its courses be adapted
more to that end and be made more
