Alleged HorsethleT bjr Pendleton
Jury Recently, Makes Proof on
VmaUlla Recurvation Homestead To
day Strong and RobuM Despite
Advanced Age.
Although (even year to a day, "be
yond the proverbial age of "three
score and ten," Andrew B. Rhonlmus,
an aged rancher living In the moun
tains between Meacham and Pendle
ton, made proof on a Umatilla reser
vation tract at the local United States
land office today. The land on which
he proved up Is located near the
place where he last year shot and
Instantly killed Tom Myers, the young
man who was making off with c
iiori, tne property ui lau in.iuw.
Rhonlmus was julled and tried, but It
took the Jury Just two minutes to ac
quit the prisoner. Though celebrating
his 77th birthday today, Mr. Rhonlmus
Is hale and hearty.
An Incident In his life since his 'ac
quittal Is being freely brought tj
mind by those who heard It and who
happened to see the old gentleman on
La Grande streets. x
Mr. Rhonlmus was a witness In a
land case in the local office not long
ago, and when asked where he spent
the previous summer,-replied:
"In Jail."
"What were you In Jail for?" came
the query.
"For killing a thief."
He qualified his remark to the as
tonlHhment of the examiner, by stat
Ing:
"And I want that punctuated with
the fact that I was acquitted Just two
minutes after the Jury took my case."

ber that a a result of the new na
tional law, denatured grain alcohol
