ALLEGE STALLION
DEALER USED FRAUD

c. A. Blanchard, the Denver staf.
lion dealer who has been operating
in this county and who was yesterday
made defendant by Helix and Athe-
ma farmers in a suit to recover $500
for alleged failure to deliver a regis
tered stallion, was today made the
defendant in another suit by other
farmers in which it is alleged that he
practiced fraud in the transaction
leading up to sale. The plaintiffs in
the new suit are E. C. Rogers. H. A.
Dowd, James and Arthur Ross.
The complaint charges that the
four men purchased the Percheron
stallion Rosewood" from the defend
ant for $3.50 and gave their indi-
vidual notes to cover the cost. Later,
II is alleged, Rogers took up the notes
by paying principal and interest to
the defendant. However. it is charg-
ed that during the transaction the
four defendants signed an instrument
which they considered a preliminary
agreement to purchase the stallion
but which they have since learned has
the force of promissory note for
$4,000 less $3.50 endorsed upon the
back by the defendant.
They allege that their signatures
were secured to this instrument by
Blanchard with the intent to cheat
and defraui them and they ask the
court to rescind their original con-
tract, render the note void and en-
join its removal from the state. James
A. Fee is council for the plaintiffs.
The First National Bank of Athena
is made a party to the defense mas
much as the note was left with the
bank for collection after the Ameri-
can National Bank of this city had
refused to purchase it.

fully delivered to the consignee,
Thomas Smart. within Is minutes af-

ter came in ten boxes each weighing
nine pounds. 1t would be impossible
to send 80 pounds Of butter In one
crate owing to the fact the limit of
weight on a parcels post package Is

DOCTORS MUST
MAKE REPORTS
TO KEEP VITAL DATA
Council Will Enforce Ordinance
Which Requires Physicians to Re-
port Births and Deaths in the City
DR.. Temple Makes Recommends
tlon Which Is Adopted.

Hereafter it will be possible to
know the birth and death rate in the
city of Pendleton, the names of the
new born and deceased, the names of
the parents of the former, the age and
cause of death of the latter and the
color of both. At the meeting of the
city council last evening, upon the
recommendation of City Physician l.
L. Temple, it was decided to enforce
the ordinance which requires all ply
sicians to report births and deaths in
the city and the date with each and
provide the physicians with the ne
cessary blanks.
After submitting his annual report,
which was published two weeks ago,
DR.. Temple called the attention of the
council to the fact that the above
mentioned ordinance has never been
enforced and it was the unanimous
opinion that steps be taken to secure
it's enforcement. The city physician
will be required to report to the coun-
ell each month and his report will
furnish a record open to the public.
DR.. Temple also called attention to
the fact that the enforcement of the
ordinance will entail extra work on
his part and he believed some in
crease in salary should be allowed. In
asmuch as he now draws only the
paltry sum OF $3.50 a month and
the past year has earned several times
his salary upon a basis of regular
fees, the sentiment of the council was
favorable to an increase and the mat
ter will probably be taken up in the
near future.
Order Webb Street Paved.
The plans and specifications for the
Improvement OF east Webb street
from Cottonwood to College were ac-
cepted last evening and a resolution
ordering the pavement of the street
with gravel bitulithic was passed
without a dissenting voice. Prior to
the passage of the resolution a re-
quest from Mrs. Minnie La Zinka to
remove her name from the petition
was presented but no action was taken
by the council.
The American National Bank of
this city was awarded the west Webb
and Jackson street Improvement
bonds. its bids being declared the
best. For the Webb street bonds the
banks bid was par, accrued interest
and $40 premium, and for the jack
son street bonds par, accrued interest
and $50 premium.
The application of Gus La Fontaine,
proprietor of the Quelle restaurant,
for restaurant liquor license was
referred to the license committee.
