Q
Fire Protection Is
Not of the Best
Bob Moore's woodshed anil E. H.
Smith's henhouse on the north elde
of Ochoco were destroyed by fire
Wednesday evening at abont six
o'clock, no other explanation to the
origin of the fire being suggest
than that boys were learning the art
of smoking cigarettes tn the shed.
When the alarm was turned In the
fire companies responded promptly.
Hose Co. No. 2 being first to arrive,
but when the water was turned on
It was found that there was not
enough pressure to throw a stream
over the top of the woodshed, about
. fifteen feet high.
Fire Chief II. F. Johnson said this
morning that It was lucky the bulld
Inks were small and that there was
no wind, "For," said he, lf the bond
ing bad been of any size, we would
not have been able to get near
enough to It to put any water on
the fire at all."
"Our old hand pump is the best
fire engine we've got now. The fire
simply burned itself out."'
This morning Hose Co. No. 2 had
their apparatus out to test the pres
sure at the plugs on the north side.
After the pumps were put In oper
ation at the power bouse and from
90 to 100 pounds of pressure put'or, a
satisfactory stream could be thrown
with one line of hose, but when two
lines were on water could not be
thrown to a height of more than 20
feet Superintendent Shattuclc of
the water company states that it
takes from five to ten minutes to get
the pressure. It seems that on . the
hydrants out any distance from the
big mains that the pressure is in
adequate to fight a fire of any size.
The fire alarm system also seeing
to be cut of repair on the north side
of the Ochoco. An attempt was
made last night to turn in an alarm
from the box near the Lettie Miller
residence but there was no response.
- It was tried again this morning
with the same result. ,
Bumper Yield of
Oats at Sisters.
The crops in this section have been
remarkably good this year. The
hay. including clover, alfalfa and
timothy, made a good yield. Oats
wag not grown very extensively for
buy, its grain being considered more
Taluable. It made a good average
yield, and on the farms ofKalph
J ohnson and Fred Welse, it made as
high as 65 bushels to the acre. While
J. B. Nichols raised some that
measured 6 ft. 3 in. in height. The
AVhite Side variety of spring oats is
preferred by most, for its hardy
thrifty qualities.
A Very Pretty
Birthday Dinner
Mrs. E. B. Wickershntu was given a
birthday dinner at the home of Mrs.
Brink Tuesday evening. At each
plate was a card with the following
announcement :
Y November M. 11
V Som one rime to this world below
I When drenry November dM storm and
V snow.
Y And now it is lot too to guess
1 Which one of us ii thus blest.
y. And ihoulJ you gnest the favored one
A beautiful present to you will come.
In the center of the table was a
beautiful cake, which coutalnetl a
ring, a thimble and a piece of money.
Twenty-three wax tapers shed their
mellow light from the circumference,
producing a very pretty effect.
Guessing for the individual who
"came to this world below, when
dreary November did storm and
snow," was pretty lively for awhile.
The only Inkling given was Novem
ber 16 "and 1S&I. This looked like a
cinch, but somehow it wouldu't
work out. Now, if you will subtract
1S64 from 1909 and to remainder add
the number of candles, this sum must
be divided by a certain figure and
there you have it that uncertain
quantity a woman's age. Mr.
Morse guessed the right person and
received "the valuable present." Miss
Parrott got the ring. Mr. Ashby the
thimble and Mrs. Wiekershain the
money.
Busy Times With
Telephone Company
Prineville will probably have a 24
hour telephone service after the. first of
the year. This is the announcement
made by Manager L. Doonar of the
Pioneer company. The past few weeks
have been busy ones for the telephone
people. The line between Prinevilie
and O'Neil has been rebuilt, giving a
thorough line to Bedmond. A new
line from Parish's ranch at Ilaycreek
to Madras has been completed, giving
Ma Iras direct connection with Prine
ville and The Dalles.
The company is aow busy stringing
wires in Prineville and making prepar
ation for removing the telephone ex
change from the present office into the
uew quarters in the Adamgon block
over the postofllce. As soon as the re
moval has been effected and the coin
dany is settled in the new location,
plans for installing the all night service
will be made.

Rodman Must
Stand Trial
Frank Rodman, Jouitlv indicted with
Mrs. liaxol Maddux for th killing ol
Mrs. Mae Ri al on the 1 .inn ton itmd on
the morning of August 5, will he forced
t go to trial in the District Court
Thursday, ays the Oriroitian.
The fact that the slate was unable to
provs that llatwl Maddux was in part
responsible for the fate of the automo
mobile victim, will uot deter Aslant
DUtrh-t Attorneys FiUrald and Page
from vigorously promvutitiK the cae
against Hodman. They believe that it
was hia machine that left the 01 ill Inn
at a frightful rate of speed and dashed
through the darkling to the spot where
Mae Keal and her male companion were
exercising along the trail lined by par
ties of after-dark joy lider. They r
confident that if allowed to delve into
the interim between 12: IS, w hen Frank
Rodman was last placed at the Cliff Inn,
and the time of the killing, the; can
show that Rodman ami hi female com
panion were the only two pemotn who
drove a machine along that route after
midnight.
In the trial of Uatel Maddux, ac
quitted by a jury last Saturday evening,
it M shown that a man and woman
at on the front seat of the auto which
ran down the woman, and the testiuu ny
of several member of the Real party
waa that the man was at the steering
wheel on the right side of the car. The
chauffeur for Uie Real party swore that
it was Uie man in the car who was doing
the steering when H went past ins
broken machine. This was corrobo
rated by other members of the party,
and was not contradicted in any par
ticular except bp the alleged confession
of Mrs. Maddux.
In the account of the confection as re
lated by Kthel Foss, and said to have
been volunteered, while the two women
were at the RanierGrand Hotel at Se
attle, Mrs. Maddux was quoted as hav
ing admitted that she was driving the
Rodman car when the Real woman w as
hit, and that her companion was the
owner of the car. It was the conflict in
the testimony on that point, as well a
the inability of the state to confirm the
confettsiou, which caused the jury to
bring in the verdict of acquittal.
Mrs.- Maddux admitted that she wat
out in cuuipaoy with Rodman, but the
state was not allowed to inquire where
they went. It was admitted by Rod
man that he had taken a pleasure trip
with her, but his attorneys failed to
ask him where they wei.t, ami the
state could not get into that chapter of
the nights history. They both agreed
that it was just 1 :15 when Mrs. Mud
dux dropped from the juggernaut at a
street corner near ner home. I his was
confirmed by the husband of the woman
who had been watching for her return.
Just how all three of them determined
upon the minute of the hour of her ar
rival was not developed, because of the
cleverness shown by the defendant's
attorneys in defeating attempts to
show where they had been or what
they were doing.
Proprietors of roadhousea along the
Linnton road swore that they knew
Rodman and that he visited their vari
ous places during the evening of August
4. He waa placed at the Cliff Inn at
12:15, and had a woman companion.
Mrs. Maddux confesneJ to having been
with him nntil 1 :15. It is therefore
reasonable to conclude that she was the
unknown woman who, all the tavern
keepers said, accompanied Rodman.
It is not determined by the prosecu
tion that some means must be devised
to break into the tomb of silence sur
rounding the movements of Rodman
and his automobile after his midnight
drink with the proprietor of the Cliff
Inn, He may have' rejoined his com
panion, whoever she was, in the private
room occupied by them at that rerort
and remained there until about 2::i0,
when they made a wild dash for the
city. Without being able to do that it
is believed the state will be unable to
identify Rodman as the driver of the
death car.
It may develop that Hare I Maddux
will prove the angel of grace in saving
her companion of the miduight ride
from punishment. Having been placed
on trial for the killing of Mrs. Real and
having besn acquitted, it is urged that
she can now safely go on the stand and
admit that she was at the wheel of the
the car which ran over Mm. Real. It
is said that under the Oregon statutes
she could not be again placed in jeopar
dy for the same offense.
Such a move would free Rodman of
the manslaughter charge. Another re
sult would be that the public would be
able to place the responsibility for
reckless disregard of human life, as
shown in this affair, but the hands of
the district attorney would be tied.
The possibility of such a close of the
Linnton road tragedy presents an inter
esting field of speculation. From the
"nerve" shown by Mrs, Maddux during
the days when her own liberty was at
stake, it is believed that if necessity
demanded she would not hesitate to
make such a sacrifice on the altar of her
friendship.
