(Pendleton Live WJre.J A complaint was filed with Prose cuting Attorney Stelwer yesterday by parties from . Freewater, charging Earl yartholmnue, the O. W. R. & N. operator at Milton, with an assault upon a 17-year-old girl In that place. The papers were made out and sent up tp the local Justice, J. L. Miller, on the afternoon train yesterday and should have reached here - about 4 o'clock and been filed with the justice and ready for service before 5. i Instead of that, some peculiarly suspicious delays were made, and when the officer went to serve the papers at 7 o'clock, the accused had flown to other fields. It Is apparent that some official "tipped ' off" the complalnti The prosecuting attorney ays that no one here was informed of the filing of the ; charge except himself, so 'the. leak lies between himself and the officers at Milton. It doeent make a great deal ' of difference at this time who Is at fault, the only thing is that the man who bungled should be not only re called, but should be tried as an ac complice after the fact, which he is. . The penalty or this charge Is not less than two years nor : more than 10 years and if an officer so far for gets the duty he owes to the people 1.1 1 A. . I mn rt .hid null LU Uliuseil as w up a uiau ui iiuo character off and give him an oppor tunity to escape, he should, be mnde to suffer the maximum penalty for the crime. Just because Barthol mnue happened to be a "good fellow" or 'because he chanced to . be em ployed by the railroad company, does npt make him one particle better than the common hobo, or the southern negro, and people of the latter kind that make attacks upon women and girls are burned at the stake and.they are often Ignorant brutes, while this man Is an educated brute, which Is practically all the difference between them.' " ' , " The unanimous call of the people in that section Is to get the brute and get all of his ' friends who assisted In getting him out of the way of the law at this time. The people have no use for either the criminal or his backers, more especially the latter, especially if they have been sworn In as peace officers. Deaconess Knight Will Lecture. (Baker Herald.)

For $5000 Damages. (Baker Herald. Suit was filed today by James F. Burns against the Sumpter Valley railroad to recover $5000 - damages alleged to have been caused him In an accident on the road. ' In the complaint he asserts that while he was a brakeman on the road last July, he was stating brakes on a logging train, when It split in two. He says the engine and several cars ran on ahead for about half a mile, then slowed up waiting for-the bal ance of the train In so doing Burns declares, the balance of the train hail gained such momentum that when It came in contact with the engine and cars ahead, it threw him oS the car, rolling him about 15 feet, and doing him considerable damage about var ious parts of bis body. He claims he has been unable to perform and man ual labor since. r . ii . " . if i Author of "Bine Sky law" Is Home. (Baker . Herald.) With a contented look on his faie as though he was glad to get back to Eastern Oregon again, Hon. . Frank B. Mitchell returned from Portland Sunday. During the legislature, Mr. Mitchell was the author of several bills which will become laws. Among them are the demonstration farm law which provides that each county may use Its poor farm for that purpose. No doubt this county will take advantage of tiai measure and several farmers are considering Impressing upon the county commissioners the .feasibility of the project Another bill provides that the fail ure. for five years to use a vested water right, It shall revert back to public use, and prior water rights. This exempts no one but municipal corporations. ' OUR LIFE-SAVERS. Humble Heroes Who. Do Brave Work Along Our Coast. DARING DEEDS IN THE SURF.

' Through ii hlc.ik KeliriiHry utvht a Sturm was riijtmi; up tue AUautk- sea board. All along the vousl the life guards were out. bunching Into the gnle. patrolling the benches, alert fot signs of dlwister. j Jnxt Iwff'-p mid night one of tbeni east of iellort sta tion, on Long Island, saw ii s !n:rncr floundering In the gray tiplndrift off shore. It wa the Benjamin Cromwell, nod as the alarm swept down the lieach the crew of three stations hur ried to the aceue. Their work was to take seven men from the rigging of All efforts through the night and the forenoon following fulled. ' The wind was too high. Then at noon the "cbooner's uiiwts. except the foremast, on which all of the crew save one bad In ken refuge, crashed overboard. This uiun went down In a welter of wreck ice, and to those on shore it seemed is If be must sorely be battered to death, but as the breakers raced In they saw him clluglng to a plank that had been swept away with nlm. A furious surf wan running, and tlm lr with which tbe Cromwell bad been luden was pitched op on the beach, to add to tbe danger thick Ice cakes. Heaved by. tbe breakers, lifted their lagged ends high In tbe air and crashed lown. splintering one upon the otber, md always the awful drive of snow ind sleet ripping the onrusblng waves Mo tatters of foam and spindrift nrely no man could live In that Instinctively the life savers moved fAtex the edce of the surf and Bee red sHead for some sign of life. The beach was fringed with skim Ice. sharp and pointed, that cut through rubber boot, and clothing as If through parchment Helpless o aid the man whom they knew must be plunging somewhere out In that angry water, they huddled to gether an men will when a lifeless body Is about to be east up before them. They beard Ice and wreckage grind harshly; scattered debris washed up to i-nelr feet Brave men all. yet they saw nothing to do. They knew not to what length tbe ocean would go before giving up Its victim. At this Juncture n figure sprang from among them and. wrapping a line about bis waist, ran to the edge of tbe surf. He was Prank Rayner of tbe Blue Point station, and be was about to commit what the other surf men In stinctively told themselves was suicide. Tbe service demands courage, not fool hardiness. Kor a moment Keeper Korke hesitated, undecided whether to order Rayner back to tbe beach or not but ue couldn't find It in bis heart to do It It waa a venture too heroic, too splendid. Tbey watched Rayner as he stood In tbe whirl of Icy spray awaiting his chance.' He ' was half naked. His clothes be had thrown off a be ran. Tbe cold, biting Into bis flesh, tortured Dim. Still the chance held off. Then It came the bit of wreckage, the cling ing sailor, crashing Into tbe boiling breakers, and ltnyner dashed forward. r Foot by foot through that roaring tu mult of water, of plunging beams and timber, dodging the splintered spars that leaping from giant combers, made as if to pin bim. Rayner worked to ward hlsjnan. To those on shore he was bidden tbe greater part of .the rime. Finally tbey saw bis bead bob above, a big billow. Near him floated the wreckage bearing Us stiff, motion less burden. The next instant Rayner vanished, swept under by a tremen dous wave. ...-. . From the huddled group on shore men started forwr.rd. but Albert La tham, also of the Blue Point stntlou. was first to plunge Into tbe tumbling seas. Tearlug through them, be reached Rayner. who. Just cresting a breaker, snatched at tbe sailor, now unconscious. And together these be roes of tbe coast hauled their man' through the rearing timbers and ice to the beach and to safety. .Not ten minutes Inter the Cromwell broke in pieces. From febore tbe life savers saw men fall from the rigging, five of tbem. who fell, one by one, like black plummets Into tbe sea. One re mained aboard. Then be went too a dark form clinging to the wrecked mast now adrift And again Uayner and Latham plunged into tbe surf. Now, weakened by their efforts and the cold, tbey faced an even harder task. The man torn from tbe mast nearly drowned tbem with his fren zied struggling. For twenty, minutes the uneven fight between tbe sailor and the snrf on one side and the two weakened life savers on tbe other was waged. Then a great green comber lifted beneath them and bore all three through the foaming aea to the shore. ... . . .. For weeks Latham lay abed, and Rayner never" performed duty again.
