(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.

Sues 8. V. 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.

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. '

' 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.
