When Henry Keo was dismissed by the police judge yesterday, there being no evidence to show that he had vio lated any statute or, that he should have been held for any reason, it es tablished in La Grande a sort of self defensive from the idle tongue, which sometimes prevails in a community and does a great deal of damage be fore it can be stopped. It 'seems that Mr. Keo has a distant relative in the personage of a woman who has seen fit it different times to make charges against him due to an old-time family grudge that has stood for years. Mr. Keo has withheld hu temper and stood the punishment without outward signs of resentment until a day or so ago when the wo man, according to reports called him a bootlegger. This was too much foi him as he is a man who never drinkr and has no use for liquor whatever, so when he met the woman on the street he todl her "where to head in" as the newsboy would say. As a result she had him arrested, but the court could find no reason for such a procedure and immediately released Mr. Keo. FOUR CASES I Two eaes Horn union couniy aiiv places.

A gray flee, of 48 war-built, uncompleted, wooden cnriro vessels tugs idly at its mooring in Iakc Union, near the heart of Seat tle. The boats, some of them barely more than hulls, are- owned by the United Stntes shipping hoard and arc worth $12,000,0(10, it has been estimat ed. Most -of them are ready to receive their engines. ''Ships that didn't get a chance,'' they have been culled, as the win which rushed them on to the ways and Into the water ended before they reached the seas to do their share in forming a part of "Pershing's bridge' to carry American men and supplies across the Atlantic to Franco. Side by sido the ships lie, most of ihcm in a long row near one of Seat tle's lake boulevards. After bcin( luunched at various northwest yards several at formal exercises, tho ships one by one, were towed to al.ke Union to wait for the day when they will b completed and set to sail the seven seas. There is talk of American, Swedish, British nnd other buyers for the "gray company" of vessels. Some of them have been advertised for sale, but an vet none has been sold. Sixty watch men arc on duty ut the ships day and night nnd firo tugs ply around the fleet On fuir days they play theii hoses on the decks, drenching them an fire protection. i ' PLOT UNEARTHED (ll- .WnuclHled I'reHS lo Tliu Observer.)

NEARLY 50 WOOD ANOTHER BOMB LH.S. TO BEET ELGIN SATURDAY KA.TII LINE TEAM C AI'TAiN EI) BY "I'll" GHENT. Ceneral Understanding la That Heav ier Elgin Team Stands Good Chance on a Wet Field. Thu I.a Grande high school football team Will face an acid test next Satur day afternoon when they meet the un beaten Elgin team, which is captained by "Pip" Ghent, star half-back on the local team hero in HU7. While it is true that the Elgin team only won over Wallowa by a score ol 26 to 0, yet that was early in the sea son and before several men, who r now mainstays of the team, wore in school, nnd the 107 to 7 score which they ran up against the North Powder town team last Saturday stamps them as a very dangerous impediment to L Grande in their hoped-for march to the Eastern Oregon championship. It is known thnt Ghent is in good form; that he is a dangerous man, and it is the gonerul understanding that there are several other men of high calibre on this team .particularly the tackles and unother half-back. After their 111 to 0 win over Wal lowa last Saturday, the local team is somewhat over-confident and are not taking this game as seriously as they should. Those who have seen Elgin's team in action are nf the opinion that they are as strong as any team in Eastern Oregon, and that I.a Grande (Continued on Page 4) RIG APPLE YIELD HOOD H1VEK, Oct. 2!). With pick ing fairly well over, npplo growers of the mid-Columbia districts have dis covered that they have far more fruit that they had anticipated a month ago. Ninety per cent of the growers of the North Oregon and South Washington districts under-estimated their crops all the way from 26 to 50 per cent. It has developed that the Hood River valley alone will have as many apples as were expected from the entire Cas cade apple belts a few weeks ago. Hood River's tonnage will reach about 2,400,000 boxes, and Underwood, White Salmon and I.yle, Washington, nnd Dufur and Mosier will bring the total to the X,000,000-hox figure. This tonnage of high-class fruit should net the growers of the comparatively small section of the two states approx imately $0,000,000. This week, provided weather condi tions are not too cold or stormy, will see all annlcs nicked and under cover. The early frccic of last Friday night, which frosted apples unpicked slightly but not enough to cause damage, alarmed growers who had a large per- (Continued on rage 4.) Twenty Coal Miners .
