the Lewlston people making us feel
that they were honored to entertain
residents of the Uound-up City."

the Portland visitors In the course
of his talk, the Portland booster

Following the reception in the club
rooms, the visitors were put aboard
the train and conducted out to the
fair grounds where they were treated

the Lewlston stock show, declaring
that it surpassed their fondest expec-:
lations.

the country contiguous to Lewlston.
here again they were given a treat,
or, though tho crop season is past,

scientific farming which combination
.makes for. prosperity.
On their return from the auto
tour, the Pendleton men spent the
time until their departure visiting
with tho Lewlston and Portland bus

REGISTER YIELDS
$2 TO THIEVES WHO
ENTER CHINESE CAFE
One of the first burglaries of the
year in Pendleton occurred sometime
lost night when thieves made en
trance Into the Pendleton Cafe, a
Chinse restaurant on Alta street Just
east of the Wheeler Photo gallery,
purloined the cash register, took it
across the street by the Sloan black
smith shop and, breaking it open,
took the contents amounting to about
two dollars.
Entrance to the building was made
by smashing the glass in the front
door. The register was found this
morning by the blacksmith shop just
where the burglars had left it. It
was damaged but not beyond repair.
What makes the crime especially
bold is the fact that it was committed
within the very shadows of the police
station. Tho thieves, however, had
evidently kept watch on the move
ments of the night officers and had
seized an opportunity when the pa
trolmen were on their beats. No clew
whs left by them.

Tht' c ity itself nor its officers will I puny. It is also probable that, in the

judgment of those who have careful

that neither the e ty nor its officers

cost of the paving except for sueh

DELICATE OPERATION
SAVES GIRL'S LIFE
An unusual and fortunate feat of
surgery was performed here this
morning when Drs. Boyden and Rin
go removed a 25 cent piece from close
to the stomach of the little two year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. O.
Ince. Incidentally the case is one
showing the splendid results that can
be accomplished by the X-ray.
It was several weeks ago that the
little Ince child swallowed the quar
ter. For a time no serious results
seemed to follow. But several days
ago tho child began to cough and it
was seen that something had to be
done for its relief. An examination
with the X-ray revealed the quarter
lying In the aesophaegus Just at the
upper end of the stomach. .
Not wishing to- perform a serious
operation for the removal of the coin
the doctors resorted to the use of
an Improvised probe. They ran It
down the child's throat and by good
fortune were able to remove the piece
of money. The coin was so lodged
as to prevent food from entering the
stomach and had it not been removed)
the child would inevitably have died I
from hunger. A piece of meat was!
restimr on too of the quarter ana
had to be removed before the money
could be taken out.
In the view of Dr. Boyden, the op
eration was a very fortunate one as
such a large piece of money might
have proved very difficult to remove
save by a surgical operation that
might have proved serious for such
a young patient.

event of the success of the Jackson
street opposition, the company cannot
collect further for the other pave
ment work done here.
The case Is a new one In the an
nals of Oregon litigation, according to
local attorneys. The only case re
sembling it, they nay. is that in which
citizens of Forest Grove enjoined the
city officials from proceeding with
certain Improvement work. The weak
ness of the present ease, they say, lies
in the fact that the Jackson street
property owners permitted the War
ren Construction company to lay its
pavement without taking any legal
steps to prevent it and are thus in the
position of accepting the Improve
ment and seeking to escape payment
for it. The principle of "those who
desire equity must also do equity" Is
here involved, they say.

WILSON'S LIFE
IS THREATENED
MEN DEMAND MONEY
Seven Letters Written to President
elect Arrests Are Made by Post
office inspectors $5000 In Gold
Is Demanded "Death on Presi
dents," Says Letter.
Newark, N. J., Dec. 11. Three res
idents of Wharton were arrested at
Dover, this state, charged with writ
ing a letter threatening President
elect' Wilson with death unless he
caused $5000 in gold to be left for
them in a designated unoccupied
house in Wharton.
The men arrested are Peter Dunn,
24 years old, his brother Jacob, 26,
and Seeley Davenport, 42.
They were brought to Newark
where United States Commissioner
Stockton committed them to jail in
default of $2000 bail each for exami
nation. The letter to the governor was
tten November 11 and was signed
"
Postofflce inspectors made the ar
rests.
Seven letters In all were sent to
Governor Wilson, it appears. Their
text indicates the writers to be of a
low degree of literacy. One of them,
the letter dated November 11, read
In part:
"Mr. Woodrow Wilson: "I am now
a goln' to warn you of what we are
goin' to do to you as we did not
Teddy and McKiuley either they got
shoot up just the same and if we
don't get what we ask from you you
will get the same. Say Wilson, you
have got the office as president, yes,
and we are death on presidents, so
now Wilson if you have $5000 in gold
for this party, we will spare your life
but if not we will shoot you before
you get in the office as sure as your
name is Wilson."
Newark. N. J., Dec. 11. Attorneys
declare that the principal evidence
against John and Jacob Dunn, the
mountaineers accused of sending
threatening letters to Governor Wil
son, is not admissible. It consists
of letters written by the men since
their arrest, containing the same
characteristics as the threatening let
ters. The federal law bars such evi
dence here.
It is reported that one of the broth
ers made an incriminating statement
but this was not confirmed. It de
veloped that Wilson 6tarted for Ber
muda earlier than he expected be
cause of the letters His family urg
ed him to go.
The prisoners insist they are "good
democrats." and protest their inno
cence. Jacob Dunn denied he tried
to strike u secret service man with
an axe.
The brothers, and Seeley Daven
port, the third man arrested, will be
arraigned on Monday. It is expected
the men will plead not guilty.

FINDERS ARE NOT
ALWAYS KEEPERS
"I don't know whether to admire
her quick wit or her supreme nerve
the most." said Alex Manning, day
police officer, In speaking of the in
cident. The incident is chronicled
by Ross Carney, local butcher.
The two men were in Portland
Monday. Manning having taken a de
serter back to Vancouver and Car
ney being In tho metropolis on a bus
iness mission. When leaving a res
taurant, a metallic glitter Just un
derneath the matting at the door
caught the quick eye of the officer.
He took out his pencil and began to
probe, whereat the landlady asked his
purpose. "There's a piece of money
under here," he said. "Oh, you're
mistaken, she answered, but the po
lice official was not to be balked
thus easily.
He continued his probing, and. fi
nally, drawing out a bright half dol
lar piece, tossed it upon the counter
to prove to the lady he was not mis
taken. "Oh. that must be the half
the gentleman dropped last night,"
she said promptly and picking up the
coin, pressed a key on her cash reg
ister and with a merry click the mon
ey disappeared. The lady went on
about her business, while "Alex"
took his sheep grin outside.
To even matters up on Carney,
however, he tells of how the well
known meat merchant mistook the
wooden floaters on a fish net which
was hanging up at the wharf tor a
row of extra large bolognas.
