British naval of ficers In charge of the torpedo boat maneuvers In the Tyne today are ex cited by the sudden appearance In their midst of a German torpedo boat, the "D-Flve," which Is suspected of having been sent on a spying expedi tion. The German boat was boarded by British officers. It Is expected the matter will be come an International affair. "Jingo" papers are agitated. The maneuvers were executed secretly, as the navy was trying the latest developments of torpedo warfare. A conservative view Is that If Germany wanted to spy she would have adopted other methods, as the torpedo boat was easily seen. The Germans explained that the torpedo boat was disabled and was compelled to put In at Tyne for re pairs. They disclaimed any intention of spying. The maneuvers were stop ped and will be resumed Monday. death list at folsom The Penland company, In Morrow county, may sell Its $3,000 acres el land. for this Week I5c 15c 15c 25c 75c 35c 25c Cakes ar- IP& if mug calltles. Claiming that the right of way secured by the O. R. & N. more than two years ago Is now null and void, Hector McDonald fnd Mary Mc Donald forbid' the construction crews to proceed on the right of way through the large ranches owned by these two. This action precipitated prompt and decisive methods by the O. R. A N. and today Circuit Judge Knowles, sitting In chambers. Issued i1 !: an Injunction restraining the McDon alds from Interfering with the con tractors or the advancement of the railroad that will bring values untold to the farmers of that county.; Tlie Grounds for Action. More than two years ago the O. R. & N. secured a right of way through the McDonald ranches and were given a deed for the land. A clause In that agreement stipulates that the road must be built through that right of way within two years. This was not done, and because of this failure or. the part of the O. R. tc N., the land owners will demanu MuJiLlcr.?.! Ht of .way money. The Injunction grant ed today overrules the' objection of the farmers and will allow the con struction work to go on. To offset this Injunction, the de fendants must bring action to have the restraining order set aside. Un til such litigation Is over, the railroad will continue to push on Into the heart of Wallowa county. The Injunction papers were rushed to the front this afternoon and will be served on the McDonalds at once. (.
