WERE GERMANS SPYING?
English Navy Offk'lals Highly Agllal
ed bver 8unk'lous Act.
London, Aug. 29. 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.

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.
