Oregon INSURANCE VARM AND FRUIT LANDS Cpre, Oregon Cot Hotel HUMAN SKELETON FOUND-BY PENDLETON WORKMEN Pendleton, Oct. 5. While engaged In excavating for a water pipe lino from the new asylum main to .the old Charles Meyers house just west of the city, workmen this morning unearth ed .the grinning skelietoa of a human form and it is causing considerable comment among the citizens of this ctty. There Is no evidence of foul play to be found about the skelleton and no one suspects that there Is any great mystery connected with the finding of the bones. The skelleton was discovered on the tract of land which was recently pur chased by the state from Charles Mey ers, who has owned the land since It was first platted as a .part of the Utopian Gardens in lS93.'Mr. Meyers declares that he knows nothing what ever regarding the skelleton and as serts that no body has been inturred on the land since he baa owned it and thinks as do many others that they are the remains of some Indian that has bin buried there In the early days. PRISONER IS STAR WITNESS. (Continued Irons page one) TIN OUR BUSINESS, shows that ii ; still more people are opening accounts with us. We are daily adding new names to our already long list of depositors. There is a good reason for this. It is this: they have found that the road to wealth is by way of the bank account; and that we, by our uni formly conservative methods, our courteous treatment of our cus tomers,' our steady increase in strength, have proven that this is the place to open that account. United States National Bank in Baker county just across the dlvl aion line from North Powder, was told to the jury this morning by Prosecutor S. Ivanhoe. The Incidents com-i mence in the year 1910 when Mr. Dal ton was ranging some stock on a pas true he had secured from a man named Haller, in Union county, James York an employe of Mr. Dalton, with other employes, went to the Haller pasture in November, 1910 to round up the stock owned by Mr. Dalton. The state anys these men did not find all the horses put In there, Including among the missing one stallion and one mare branded "D," the Dalton brand. The other horses were brought to the Dal ton ranch. Then the state's drama shifts to Un ion county, the town of Union and the time is a half year later: June first, 1911. At that time there was a wild west show at the town of Union oper ated and owned by a man named Buck. In the course of the exhibitions there, John Spain, Henry McGrath and Zlb-: Horse had been employed to assist In the performances; Also, at this time, negotiations were opened between Mr. buck, the owner 'and John Spain, for the purchase of the wild west show by Spain. The upshot of the negotia tions wore that Mr. Spain was to de liver to Buck a. certain number of horses in return for the tent and para phernalia. The state says that it was agreed that If the horses were all right they, were to be brought to the ied bridge near Union on the fifth of June, this year. Among the horses thus to be sold, the state alleges, there were two horses branded D, the ones said to have been stolen from the Dal ton range. The state affirms that when Spain went to his ranges to get the horses, he could not find the Btal llon but did find the mare. Approach ing the honlo of C. W. Lund who mov ed to High ralley in the spring of 1911, Spnin Is ald to have suggested that ho wovld trade for a certain horse from Lund ond that the missing stal lion should later be found and turned over to Lund for the one he was to get that day. This arrangement was made and, the state says, Spain drove the horses -at that time made up of one animal branded D, the one horse he fct from Lund, and two or three others, of which Mr. Cunningham was of the original owners to Union. Sj..Hir, according to the state, went to the ied bridge that night, delivered his horses which were found by Buck , to be O.-K., and there their relations to the horses ceased. Buck then went y open country route to Walla Wal-, la. Later on the horses were located I through the Lunds advising the au- thoritles where the stallion by that time found again came from. j . The authorities followed up .the clues and eventually located the horses in a Walla Walla barn and had them brought to La Grande, where they are now. Defense Tells Its Story. R. J. Kitchen, one of counsel for the defendants, presented- the opening statement to the Jury for the defense. His story commences at the time of the horse show at Union. The same wild west show and the same condi tions generally are admitted. But about this time the defense story takes a tangent course and never at any times comes mar that of the state. The defense maintains that ' when the negotiations for the purchase of the1 wild west show reached the cli max, iRoy Lund, son of the High Val ley ranger, said that he had some horses which might be sold to Spain who could then trade them to Buck for the show outfit. To make a long story short, Roy Lund and McGrath went to the Lund ranch on Sunday and on Monday they rounded up the hors- i es and brought them to Union. While the horses branded D were admitted to be among them, the de fense did not indicate how they came to be on the Lund ranch. That even ing in a restaurant In Union John Spain, McGrath, (Morse, Roy Lund and several others were present and the defense Bay that at that time and hour, Spain paid to Roy Lund the sum of $150 for five head of horses. This sum of money is small In comparison with the states charges fixed on the horses alleged to have been stolen. The Indictment says the horses stolen were worth $150 each. But at any rate, the defense says that Spain paid t lou 10 noy uuua tor meae nve norstru which, after supper, were driven to the red bridge and .turned over to Mr. Buck who accepted them and" took . them to Walla Walla, or some place, i The jurors were selected last even ( tng at a late hour and It was prompt ly at 8 o'clock that activities commenc jed this morning.
