FOR Governor S&ld to Have Sallied Fund i , for Convict to Leave. ; (Pendleton Live Wire.) That the much heralded 'prison pa role system Governor Oswald West is in reality an established system for the distribution of political patronage instead of a scientific move for the reform of criminals has become ap parent through the methods pursued in eltectlng the release of W. W. At Jield, convicted of (embezzlement in this county more than a year ago and committed to the state penitentiary at Salem. . . ; On August 1, so the records in the office of , the governor show, Atfleld was released on a conditional pardon or parole, "which local acquaintances of the man have every reason to be lieve ne nas since violated. Mis re lease was made without any petition from citizens, or o far as can be as certained, without any request other than that of Will M. Peterson of Pen dleton, chairman of the democratic county central committee of Umatilla county, j an avowed candidate from Congregs from this) district and the at iorney who put up a strong defense for Atfteld at the time of his trial be fore then Circuit Judge H. J. Bean, who has since become an associate justice of the state supreme court. Atfleld," greatly to the Buprprise of Pendleton acquaintances, appeared In this city August 2. " To friends who in quired how he obtained his release within less than a year ot hie convic tion, the ex-convict admitted that he did not know, except that he supposed Influence bad been brought to bear. Governor Snilled Funds. - He declared that on the previous day the warden of the state peniten tiary at Salem had been instructed to provide Atfleld with a new suit of clothes and release him. Atfield re ported to the governor and asserted here that the latter produced a $20 gold pifloa from his pocket, banding It to the' paroled convict: with instruc tions to proceed to Pendleton, there to await Instructions which the chief ex ecultlve promised would errlva- In Pendleton in due time. : Without heBltatlng to Inquire re garding the manner of his release. At fisld followed instructions and came to Pendleton, entering his name on August 3 on the reglater of the Bow man hotel. For perhaps a . week he remained there, paying his rent daily In advance.: Then he departed, saying that he was going to Walla Walla and that he expected to return In a few days. Atfleld'has nevy returned, and If he carried out his Intention to via'i Walla Walla, he has violated parole by leaving the Btate. Conrt Officers Ignored. A letter from Justles H. J. Bean, written from Newport, declares that' as far as he knows, the matter of At fl eld's pardon or parole , was never bought to his attention, nor was he asltsd for a statement of facts. Judga Gilbert W. PhelpB of the circuit court of tills district, who was deputy dis trict attorney and prosecuted the case against Atfleld a year ago, declares that "he has newr been asked for. any recommendation. So far as the records ishow, no demand was made for At fleld's release and no petition ever was presented. V ' Tor that matter, the records of Uma tilla and Morrow county courts show that at no time since Governor West is8umed gubernatorial duties has any Irrespective parole or pardon been re ferred to a prosecutor or Judge for recommendation or for a statement of facts, nor do the local police authori ties know of any case in which Gov ernor West has asked their opinion, although a number of criminals quite recently sentenced from this county are now enjoying freedom here. ' Follows Peterson's YIkH. ' The reappearance of Atfleld in Pen dleton followed ' a visit 'of Attorney Peterson 'to Salem.. To this' and the rather Irregular manner In which tha convict obtained hia release local men familiar with the facts attach the belief (hat Atfield's parole, or pardon, was granted simply on the request of the chairman ot the Umatilla county democratic central committee, who had received a retainer for the man's defense. '' WVa Atfleld less than a year ago was on trial before Judge Bean bis case attracted great attent on, and he came In for a large amount of censure After making a confession that he had embezzled funds pf the-express com pany, by whom he was employed as agent at Umatilla, he repudiated the statement, attempted to throw odium on Chief of Police Gurdane, who had befriended him, and sought to cast re sponsibility for the crime on an inno cent fellow workman named Wrenn. The Jury promptly returned a ver dict of guilty and Judge Bean did not hesitate to impose' an indeterminate sentence of not less than one or more than ten years In the state penl'en tlary. Feeling against the man ran rather high at the time of bis convic tion, but as public Interest in the case waned he became forgotten, and until his reappearance n fhia cityon August 3 and his statement that he was unac quainted with the manner of his re lease, it was supposed that he was still serving the sentence for which a large amount of the taxpayers' money bad been spent to' convict him. eiriiinnanrnn Trti iityyanirtnoir HUNTINGTON SPLIT ASUNDER .

We have Just accepted the local agency of the General Fire Assurance company of Paris, France. This is the oldest French company in exist ence, having been established in the year 1819. Its board of directors in clude some of the best known French financiers, such as Baron Edouard de Rothschild, regent of the Bank ot France Baron de Neufllze, also regent i of the Bank of France. This company has bnly recently Invaded the United States, having made the required de posit and secured license to. do busi ness in this country. Its general agency for the Pacific coast has Just been let to Dooley and company, Port land, and we; have the honor to, be among the first agents appointed on the coast. The insurance laws of the United States prohibit foreign com panies advertising their foreign assets In this country the General Fire there- ofre advertises only .its American as set in this country.' Its present net surplus In this country Is $525,999.78, which places it well to he front in financial strength. . .J.: , . BLACK & PRATT. CHEYENNE SECOND BEST. Pendleton Show Considered Better -Than Old Cheyenae Performance. The Roundup is a far better show J in evry way than the much vaunted Frontier days of Cheyenne, according to sneriir T, D. Taylor, J. Roy Raley and Carl Powers," who returned this noon from attending ' the Cheyenne celebration, relates the Pendleton Live Wire. ' ; -., ',.:'r-. The outlaw horses which will be I seen in action in thia city are Just as! good or better buckers, the riders are Just as good or bettor bronco busters, and the spirit and vim which charac- terizes the local show is laid to be far better than that ot the Wyoming affair. In eaying this the Pendleton en do not belittle the Cheyenne show, whlcb,they declare to be a marvelous affair, second only to the Pendleton exhibition. , The saddles whiclf are to be offered at the Roundup were far superior to anything ever offered In Cheyenee, and attracted great, attention at the hands of the big crowds. Many of the best riders there signified their intention of coming to Pendleton for the Round up and trying for the trophies. ?
