UP TO YOU
Fred "Wisdom, the Baker City man,
whose reputation in Union county is
shady on account of several affairs in
which he has figured in this county,
Is again in the toils of the law and is
this time charged with horse stealing.
He has practically admitted that he
did just what he is charged with, and
In a hearing before Justice of the
Peace Arthur Williams this morning
was bound over on a $1500 ball which
he has not furnished this aftercooon.
The horses stolen and sold belong
ed to James Moss who lives near Ali
cel. About a month ago Moss among
several others turned horses out to
graze on the foothills near lower
Cove and a short time ago Moss no
ticed that two mares, two colts and
a filly had disappeared. In his hunt
for the animals, Mr. Moss discovered
one of the mares la the possession of
John Birchfield who claimed that he
had purchased it from Forest Ryder
who also works at the Jensen mill
back in the mountains. Ryder in turn
bought the animal from Fred Wisdom
and there commences the alleged
theft. '
Wisdom doesn't seem to make much
fuss about it. All the missing horses
but one have been found and returned
to Mr. Moss but has been informed i
where the last horse is. Wisdom ad
mits that he sold the horse in ques
tion to Andrew Tucker who also
works and lives In the vicinity of the
mill.
The arrest was made yesterday af
ternoon by Constable Faulk.
Wisdom Is the man who was lib
erated from the Elgin jail some time
ago presumably by confederates. He
was arrested at that time In connec
tion with horse stealing. While his
people live In Baker City, he appears
to make his headquarters in Union
county and has been seen at various
times throughout the valley the paast
months. .
Constable Faulk underwent a
strenuous trip last night when he
went toa point six miles beyond Indian
Creek to arrest Wisdom. He walked
six miles down a steep mountain to
where Wisdom was camped and came
back over the same trail both times
In the dead of night. Wisdom kept
him company on the return trip how
ever and It was not so lonesome.
Robert Withycombe cannot accept
the call to attend the national apj,le
show at Chicago wherein La Grande.
Elgin and Union are to be represented
by Will Vogel, president of the Union
Commercial club will likely be sent
in Withcombe's place. The ; exhibit
which is sent to Spokane will be for
warded to Chicago where the apple
growers of this county will purchase
space on the exhibit floors. Literature
is to accompany the exhibits to Chi
cago and the commercial clabs of the
county can see a great benefit to be
derived from consisting publicity at
that time. For this reason the mer
chants and business men In general
r nln In hnln meet the expense of
sending the shipment and maintaining
a man in charge during the big shew
in the windy city.
Elgin and Union fruitmen have un
ited on Vogel as the representative
and Just as soon as the fruitmen can
bo seen here, the La Grande delega
tion will not only endorse the ap
pointment of Vogel but will raise a
substantial subscription.

consideration of ways and means for
properly conserving the fish and game
of the country.
Minnesota sportsmen are especially
anxious to bring about the better pro

numerous in this state than In any
other. It Is alleged that unless steps
are Immediately taken to prevent fur
ther slaughter, the ' moose will soon
go the way of the buffalo.
Roadmaiter C McCann has resigned
his position here and will move to
Portland at once. His successor ar
rived today and brings back to La
Grande an old-time railroader who
has a large circle of acquaintances
here. It is Harry Conley who several
years ago was roadmaster out of Uma
tilla and more recently has been on
the Great Northern. He and J. H.
Watson worked together at Umatilla
several years ago and practically the
entire railroad "row" knows Harry.
McCann has had the office here for
about two years, succeeding G. W.

state democratic convention was op

Roosevelt ht Milwaukee. -Milwaukee,
Wis., Sept 7 Milwau
kee, the city of "undesirable citizens,"
was overtaken by the Outlook Special
this morning and Col. Roosevelt will
spend the day in a busy round of re
ceptions, luncheons, sight-seeing and
addresses. The former president
comes to Milwaukee as the' guest of
the Press club, which is celebrating
Its silver Jubilee.
' Although many prominent Wiscon
sin men joined in the greeting to Col.
Roosevelt there was 'no remarkable
display of hospitality on the part of
city officials. Milwaukee Is a socialis
tic city, and the disciples of Mark
haven't forgotten that they are "un
desirable citizens" from the Roosevel
tian point of view. Mayor Emil Seldel
couldn't find the keys to the city, to
present to the distinguished " visitor,
but there is a suspicion that he did
not spend much time in the search.
Other members of the city govern
ment declared that there were no such
keys, and expressed the opinion that
they had been made away with by
their predecessors in municipal office.
Connecticut Democrat's.
New Haven, Sept 7 Democrats of
the Nutmeg state assembled In New
Haven today to nominate candidates
and adopt a platform. The convention
will continue through tomorrow and
will probably be marked by lively con
tests, since the democrats are more
hopeful of success In the November
election than they have been In many
years. The republican party. In this
state as in many others, is divided
between regulars and progressives,
and in this fact the democratic lead
er find reason for the hope that Is in
them.
