each as witnesses.
Gionek was one of the witnesses.
He told the other prisoners about
the ceremony that had been planned
for tomorrow and the great time he
had arranged for after the wedding.
Instead of sympathy he received con-
gratulations upon his being in jail,
free from strife; but Glonek turned
the laughs when his bride-to-be,
Miss Nellie Nirodo, of Bloomfield, ar
rived and told Detective Brex what
cruel beast he was to take the
bridegroom away.
Brex spoke 20 Acting Judge
Rooney and the result was that 5000
security was left for Gionek and he
was released. Wedding bells will toll
at st. Casimir's Church tomorrow
and then, keeping a promise, the
bridegroom will drink the health OF
the four men in jail.

that the Commission could abandon

and decide upon a new one, and then
possibly abandon that again and de-
eide upon another one. keeping this
up as long as it pleases. and still the

Ell PASO, Nov. 25.-Furious fight

Local Telephone Plant Has Extensive
Program to Make Service Better
Engineer Here for Plans.

Changes In the local telephone
plant that include the placing of Pen
dieton on the main toll line and ex-
tensive improvements in the city ex-
change are to be commenced In the
Immediate future. according to highly
authentic information. o. c. Brill.
district plant engineer OF Portland,
Is in the city now in connection with
this contemplated work and 1t is said
that operations will begin al no dis
tant date.
1t Is known that the Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. has been con-
sidering extensive improvements in
Pendleton for several years and that
the San Francisco office has been urg-
ing the Portland office to start the
work. 1t has been many years since
the company entered Pendleton and
so few betterments have been made
since that time that now the equip
ment Is in condition that makes ef-
ficient service very difficult.
Pendleton is not at present on the
main toll line. That line now runs
from walla Walla to Wallula and
down the river, but, according to re-
ports. the company now intends ia
make the main toll line pass through
the city.
The principal improvement to the
local exchange will be the elimination
OF open wires. it is reported. In
stead of having a maze of wires run
ming from pole to pole, the compan,
will install a cable system all over
the city. it is said. Not only will thii
render the system less susceptible L
damage by storms and other outside
agencies but will enable the company
to extend its service to more residents
At the present time 1t Is said that th'
local plant has difficulty in furnish
ing efficient service to its presen
subscribers without attempting to Sc.
cure more patrons.

Blanca his headquarters. He had two
telegraph operators and was using
the government wires He would not
permit correspondents to file mes
sages over them. Although he gave
out information freely. the only way
II could be transmitted to the border

By Sunday night he had his force
spread out like a fan along approxi-

maintained today.
The federals began falling back as
the fighting progressed but It is i'm
possible to determine whether they are
in retreat or simply maneuvering for
a position. The struggle was plain
ly going against them.
General Salazar was reinforced by
1900 men and four cannon iu the
forenoon and began to fall back tow
