sureties: Tillie Bates, John V.
White, Albert C. Lucas. George
Hobbs, Carter B. Alleh, John Atkin
son and John I. West.
The Ericksons were convicted on
May 13 of the crime of assault with a
dangerous weapon and sentenced to
a term of one year In the peni
tentiary. In making the order for
an appeal Judge Bradshaw said:
It is ordered that said application

Randolph Ketchum arrived home
from his trip to the Valley and from
Pendleton, where on last Monday night
at the latter place he repreiei;ted the
Crook County High School in the East
ern Oresron oratorical contest. The
Dregonian's account of the contest is as
follows :
Pendleton, Or., May 24. C.eorge Jett,
of Daker City, with his oration, "The
Worship of Gold," tori lit won the ora
torical championship of Eastern Oregor.
Roy Rowland of Pendleton, wag second,
while Agnes Milne, of Elgin, was third.
Tho other schools with their repre
sentatives and their rank in accordance
with tonight's contest, are as follows:
The Dalles, Marion Driver; Prineville,
Randolph D. Ketchum; Cove, Glenn
Roberts; Union. Madeline Hill; On
tario, Walmath Curry; Wasco, Mae
Smith.
The judges on composition placed Miss
Hill, of Union, first, but otherwise the
ranking on composition was the same
as the general result. The winners of
the first three places were all well
matches, the result being in doubt until
the announcement.
Mr. Ketchum's understanding of the
awarding of places is different from this
account, in that he was given to under
stand that he, with Roy Rowland, of
Pendleton, and Mae Smith of Wasco,
were tied for second place with a grad
ing of 87 points each, while the winner's
standing wag only two points more, 89.

his bleeding to death. The wound
ranged back Into the base of the
