Arms ted Yesterday
Tho two men were arrested by city
police yesterday morning about 3
o'clock in the act of attempting to
cpen the safe in the Playle Oil sta
tion. They were first confined fn the
city Jail but yesterday were removed
to the county Jail. During the hours
they were in the city Jail they at
tempted to find some means of
escape, and had opened a hole in the
celling of the bull pen, although not
sufficiently large to use. Prisoners
ia the city Jajll said that when the
two brothers were admitted to the
Jail, they Immediately began a thor
ough investigation In an effort to
find some weak point which they
could attack.
Charges of burglary were filed this
morning, this definitely turning the
case into the hands of the state. In
the event that the men decide to
waive preliminary hearings and enter
p. plea of guilty, they will go before
Circuit Judge J. W. Knowles.
Two Women With Them
Two women, who say they- are tho
men's wives, accompanied the broth
ers into Eastern Oregon in another
car, and they returned to La Grande
yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock.
Officers have no charges against the
two women although they questioned
them at some length.
Papers in a car belonging to one
" of the men Indicated their real names
and established the fact that two
came from Toledo, Ohio instead of
Portland, Ore. The car was dWcover--cd
yesterday shortly before rioori and;
was searched by police officers' Comp
ing equipment, men's and "'women's
clothing, tools, fishing tackle and
ether articles, including an 'electric
drill, were among the contents of the
car. ;'
Cars Registered at Ontario
Pollco were aware late yesterday
afternoon that there were four per
sons In the group, two of them
women, dxie to advices received from
Ontario, where the two cars regis
tered upon entry into Oregon. The
two women drove into town shortly
afterwards, were recognized by of
ficers, and then questioned. Their
car is parked in front of the police
station alongside of the other ma
chine at present. The women are
staying in n local hotel.
Officers still adhere to the belief
that the two are professional, burg
lars, although when questioned, the
men stated they had never been in
trouble before. It has been definite
ly established that the cars' belong
to the two brothers. Offlcers at first
were of the opinion that they might
be travelling in stolen cars but this
theory seems to have been exploded.

La Grande, Baker
Storms Severe;
MuchRainfall
Electrical Display Here
Most Effective in Sev
eral Years Valley Es
capes Damage.
The electric storm that struck La
Grande and some sections of the
Grundo Ronde valley yesterday af
ternoon caused some minor damage
in this city to fruit and garden crops,
due to the hail, but no reports of
any serious damage had been re
ceived. Branches were blown from
treen. A considerable amount of
ralr, fell but the hail only hit a
comparatively small area.
In La Grande, In about half an
hour's time, seventy-one hundredths
c an inch of rain fell, one of the
heaviest downpours in recent years.
Storm sewers in La Grande were in
several cases inadequate to take off
the flood water for several minutes.
LlKlKning Disrupts Service
Light and power wires suffered
several direct hits from lightning
discharges, and In two cases the
same- circuit was struck twice, ac
cording to Gene, Wulker, who said i
the storm was the most effective :
electrical storm in his experience I
here. Homo sections of La Grande j
were without power for nearly an j
hour and a half, while in other sec
tions, It was possible to attend to
the trouble in a shorter time. Crews
went to every break as quickly as
possible
Tho storm hardly ' touched Union,
Imbler, und other smaller town,
bit; struck Baker with nearly as
much force as in La Grande, al
though there vas more lightning
here. Baker had .74 of an inch of
rain, a little more than La Grande
received.
!i;t Above Yesterday
The- maximum temperature was 93
above yesterday and last night's
minimum was 56 above, the same as
on Thursday night. The storm,
however, cleared the atmosphere and
the valley today was relieved from
the sultriness of the last week.
J", most cases, the rain was wel
comed, although it causod some de
lay In harvest work. In the forest
areas, the additional moisture re
moved much of the fire hazard,
dampening trees and brush that was
tinder-like because of the long period
o' dry, warm weather.

and to avoid future distress to live
stock caused by lack of water Is the
purpose of a letter written by Dr.
W. If. Lytic, stato voterlnorian, to
William Brown, owner of the famous
Wagontlro water hole, suggesting
that he deed or bequeath the springs
to tho state as a public range ani

It Is Bald that Bomo of the pioneer
livestock men of other states have
left similar monuments, and If an
Oregon man were to do It there is a
probability, says Dr. Lytle, that other
men in the state would follow suit.
It Is said that some agency, the
Oregon Humane society possibly.
could be authorized to see that the
i terms of the deed or bequest were
