ing a two-year term at Sing Sing.
Betty Palmer is his sweetheart.
Betty meets Roger at the gate Of
Sing Sing with new suit for him.
She takes it for granted that he is to
return to his old criminal life and
says Mike Wilson has planned royal
welcome for him. But Roger has de-,
ltermined to 60 straight. He plans to
abandon all his pals, except Betty. He
keeps this silent from her.
But at the dinner which Wilson
gives in his honor, Roger is called up

assumed name, Hampton, and does
not betray his recognition of them.
Meeting Betty alone, Roger tries to
get out of Betty their purpose in town

fesses that this Is stall to recover
the money for which Joshua Starbuck

from Mike.
She starts to extract the $4,000
from Mikes private vault, but the
gang leader catches her. In the tus-

Mrs. J. IL. Ownbey, wife of Rev.

church near the Ferndale school. was
killed yesterday at 3 a. m. by an auto
driven by T. d. Barclay, of Pendleton,
travelling salesman for the Portland
Flour MIL
According to Chris Stadfeld. of this
city, who was driving to Pendleton
from Walla Walla with Mr.. Barclay,
neither OF the men saw Rev. and Mrs
Ownbey until too late to avert the ac-
cident, because of the binding head
lights of a car going toward Walla
Walla. Rev. and Mrs. Ownbey were
walking home, down the middle of the
pavement with their backs to the Bar
clay car. The other machine was on
their left. The fender of the Barclay
car struck Mrs. Ownbey and knocked
her backward SO that her head struck
the radiator of the machine. Death
was almost instantaneous. Rev Own
hey was injured about the head The
body of Mrs. ownbey was taken to the
Hennessey and Galloway chapel and
Rov. Ownbey was taken 70 st. Mary's
hospital at Walla walia.
Car Driven Slowly.
Mr.. Stadfcld said that Mr. Barclay
was driving slowly and stated proof OF
this was found in tho fact that Mrs
ownbey was beneath the front axle
when the car came TO a stop. In Mr.
Stadfeld's opinion. the binding of Mr.
Barclay by the headlights Of the other
car caused the tragedy. The other
machine did not stop and efforts to
find the driver have been unavaiiing.
