Forger Had Clever Game.

H. T.. Vogel, who is being held In
the city Jail on charge of forgery,
worked his alleged game rather
smoothly. He had been working for
a farmer named Roby Of the Athena
section and had been given a check
by him for $3.50. He promptly
made several duplicates, according to
the officers, and passed one on the
Golden Rule Store Of Athena. II his
check was questioned, he would
promptly request the merchant to call
up Mr.. Roby and ask whether or not
he had not made out a check for
S26.5O to II. f. Vogel. Mr.. Roby's
cautiaus reply that he had given only
one such check led to the mans un-
doing.

to be in the vicinity Of the holJ-up

PROPOSED BONDS MAY Be
CANCELLED YEAR BY YEAR
AMENDMENT TO CHARTER
WOULD PERMIT NEW PRO
CEDURE FOR CITY.

If an amendment to the city char
ter Is authorized by the vote Of the
people of Pendleton in order that the
$4,000 additional water bonds may
be issued, 1t will be 80 worded as to
permit the cancellation of the bonds
year by year instead of at the end of
20 years. The initiative petitions
now being circulated call for an cleo
ton on an amendment authorizing the
issuance of serial bonds which may
be taken up at the rate Of $4,000
year. At present the charter per-
mits only "2030" bonds to be issued.
A prominent Chicago bonding
house suggested this new form of is
sue and it was just what the water
commission desired. The result was
that the petitions were drawn up to
that end. They are now being circu-
lated and will probably be presented
to the council at the next regular
meeting.
No Insurance Reduction.
A communication from the Under
writer's Equitable Rating Bureau Of
Portland finding further fault with
the local fire alarm system was read
to the council and was generally ac-
cepted as meaning that there would
be no reduction In the insurance rates
such as the buerau promised in the
event of Improvements in the fire
fighting equipment. Since the pur-
chase OF the auto truck and the in
stallation of the alarm system, the
council has made frequent requests
for fulfillment of the promise but
each time the bureau officials have
requested certain improvements or
alterations. These have been done a
number OF times until now the coun-
clmen are more or less disgusted with
the bureau.
Chief Bellinger and Assistant Chief
Gibson last evening requested the
council to take the matter up with
business men of having inflammable
stuff removed from the rear end Of
stores.
The council acted favorably upon
the request for fire hydrant at the
corner OF webb and Cottonwood
streets and will have one installed as
soon as the water commission feels
| financially able.

DOG HEROES, WEARING
MEDALS, REVIEW PARADE

NEW YORK, May 3O.-The dogs
had their day here today Seated
proudly in the stand, most Of them
wearing medals pinned on them for
saving human life, five Of the most
prominent members Of New York's
dogdom aided Mrs. James Speyer in
reviewing tho city's annul work
horse parade. Three Of the dogs so
honorcd are not bluebloods, but all
five have made their own way in the
world. Perhaps the most prominent
Of the five was Jim, splendid great
Dane belonging to DR.. H. T. Galpin.
Jim has numerous good deeds on his
list but his most heroic feat was per-
formed last summer when he broke
from fireman who was holding him,
dashed into burning house, and
dragged his unconscious master to
the street and safety. For this the
New York Women's league for ami
mails awarded Jim medal which
hung from his collar today Next to
Jim sat Teddy, massive Newfound-
land. Teddy was watching two kid
dies playing on river pier last sum-
mer when the children fell overheard.
The dog leaped into the river and
dragged both children to shore. He,
too, received medal. Jim and Teddy
are thoroughbreds, but it doesn't hurt
them bit; and neither has eve. at

tator or entrant. They don't believe

To the left of Teddy, occasionally

went by. was Bum. In lineage Bum
is what his name implies. But Bum
is there. He belongs to the police
department. He is an ordinary yell
low dog. He limped into the twelfth
precinct one day year ago, and i'm
mediately adopted every patrolman in
the place, showing special fondness
for Officer O'Neill. O'Neill is on

dog and is Independently wealthy
While he has no life saving TO his
credit, he is patron Of the New
York Women's league for animals,
having donated large sums to that in
stitution. The fifth dog in the stand
today was Waif. held in Mrs. Speysr's
lap. The puppy WAS picked from an
ash barrel three weeks ago by a street
urchin. He is 6 inches long and
broad. He is being trained for a po-
