I District Attorney Steiwer pro-
seeuted several crimnal cases at
Pendleton last week snd did not
lose a single case. Among those
who were found guilty as charg
ed was Willis Jordan, the horse
thief who was operating over be
yond Heppner several months
ago. ' He was sentenced to ten
years in the pen. "Red Wings"
Walker, his accomplice,' was
given somewhat lighter sentence
and Judge Phelps took under
advisement the proposition of
paroling her, inasmuch as sha
has been raised among rough en
vironments and was but a tool in
the esse. -
' Bud -Stabler, indicted by the
grand jury on a charge of forg
ery, was tried snd convicted to
day. He admitted writings
check on N. E. Lea, of Cecil, but
declared he did so in the presence
snd st the direction of Lee after
the latter had borrowed S25 from
him whils they were having s
time hers one night last April.
The minimum sentence for this
offense is 2 years snd the max
