A petition has been filed asking
for a re-hearing of the supreme court
decision in the county judge cleo
ton contest in Bowman, Diehl VS..
Totten. The supreme court recently
decided against Totten, who now
asks reconsideration, claiming that
one of his three main contentious was
not considered by the court in
rendering a decision. 1t does not
seems probable that the supreme
court will feel called upon to re-

EARLY HISTORY
Editor PRESS.

Editor PRESS:
When 1 read the little description
of Beisigl Pete in the PRESS last
week it brought to mind the first
time I saw that now notorious and
well known parsonage.
George Beisigl was just entering
the domain of the cattle baron and
had a bunch of cattle, mostly steers,
held on the Heart river near where
the "Old Third Crossing" was.
There was no possible attempt at
any comfort for the men, or in this
instance boys. There was nothing

office of commissioner Of insurance
as Walt Taylor does. In the several
terms he has served the state in
this capacity Mr.. Taylor has won the
confidence of the people and has
been returned to office each election
by a large majority. If he will ac-
cept the office again it will be given
him for the asking.-Slope County

BLINDNESS HEALED

Welded for nearly Is years, Karl Guiott, known throughout Eastern Oregon as ''the blind musician" saw the features of his devoted wife and sturdy 10-year-old son for the first time only a few days ago. Born with impaired vision, Guiott had been blind for Is years. The other day, while guiding himself with a stick along the business thoroughfares of his home city Of Pendleton, Ore, he experienced a sudden pain in his right eye. He became dizzy. Blue flashes began to appear before his eyes, following each other at intervals, becoming more frequent and lengthening in size and duration. Then the mi- racle had beenw rought. Guiott's vision was restored. During the flashes he could identify the ob- jects appearing to his right eye as buildings, telegraph poles and persons. Within a half hour. he could read advertising signs and distinguish the features of friends he had known by voice only for years. Astounded at the discovery he was lost in bewiiderment for a time. He walked about, guiding himself with his stick from long accustomed habit, while he tested his new found sight. None knew of his restored vision for an hour Then he went to the office of Dr. T. M. Henderson, amazing the physician with his secret. Dr. J. A. Gest also examined his eye, and when Guiott was asured that the probabilities strongly favored per manent sight. he hastened home to his wife and son. His vision has improved constantly since the first. and today, the physicians are con fident that the restoration will prove permanent.
 On0 OI the iHOSt interesting, II not the most remarkable, phases of the case lies in the fact that Guiott had not in recent years had re- course to medical or surgical treat ment Exponents of the Christian Scientist faith were quick to claim the "cure." Guiott, while not con ceding himself a christian Scientist, is convinced that his own mental strength and attitude is responsible for the change which has taken place.
 For long time I have been studying Unity" he says. I con- centrated my mind as constantly as I could upon the desire to see. kept that desire ever alive in my mind, and my faith in my mental strength to bring my vision back, if such thing could be accomplish
