The fact that a transient, bearing 'ha
nam of Jim Murphy, stole a pair of thoaa
from Fred Haiiten and within five min
ute sold them back to him. on the face of
t. eeems incredulous, but it ' was accom
plished this morning thus: The shoes were
stolen from Mr. Haisten's store on Adams
Avenue and the aliased thief walked
around the corner and sold them to Mr
Ben HaUten, who is manager of the Fir
Street store. Fortunately the transac
tion was almost immediately discovered,
and Chief of Police Rayburn was notified
who landed his man nea Oro Dell and
brought him back to the store for identi
fication.
Murphy was arraigned this afternoon
before Justice Hough and pleaded guilty to
the charge of petty larceny and was given
forty days in the county jail.

County court which is in session w
court house is busy with questions of con
siderable weight to the county. The
roads arid bridges, which must all now be
gotten in order for the winter, are tikirg
upmuch iimerhe bri 'ge across the Orard
Ronda at Island City, is to be repaired to
forestall further damage by high water.
LICENSES GRANTED . '
The court yesterday, in view of the
petition asking for a licenss to sell liquor

PADDED CELL NEEDED ,
The absolute necessity of a padded cell
in which the county authorities can incar
cerate insanes, has. during the past few
days been forcibly demonstrated. Mr.
Brisco who has been adjudged insane
and was today taken to Salem, had to be
watched continually lest he do himself
bodily harm. The steel cells were batt
ered and kicked by the man who is in so
sad a plight, and visitors in the court
house could hear echoes of hammering on
the sheet iron which surrounds the cll in
which the insane was Kept. It brings
heavy cost on the county to procure guards
and the extra expense of installing a pad
ded cell, would soor. be raised by th
money paid-out for guards. The present
session of court may consider the matter
A QUIET WEDDGW
Elva B. Jamison and Mis Pearl Harris
were united in marriage last evening at
the home of the bride's parents in Water
street by Rev. C H. Nellor, of the Con
gregational church. Both she contracting
parties are well known in Pendleton, the

few friends being present
The newly married couple will reside
at the home of the bride parents.
