Grand Jury Forced to Send Wit
nesses to Jail In Order to Compel
Them to Answer Questions.
HEPPNER, Or., Novj 12. (Special.)
That the grand Jury had something up its
sleeve when It failed to report Indictments
last night was made evident today when
23 true bills were returned against Mor
row County citizens for alleged violation
of the local option law. Up until a late
hour yesterday It was thought that there
was nothing doing In the llquor-eases and
that the "past times" and near-beer
places had escaped. The authorities de
clare they have convicting evidence on all
of the Indictments.
It was no easy matter for the grand
Jury to get evidence from the witnesses
called before it and It was by contining
some witnesses in Jail for their refusal to
answer questions that the facts were
gleaned for a verdict of Indictment.
Two indictments were returned against
Maddock & Co., Vic Groshens, Dennis Mc
Namee and Chris Borchers, of Heppner,
while Frank Engleman and Harry Reid,
of lone, were charged in a like number
of counts. These people were all ar
raigned in court last night and given until
today at 1:30 o"clock to plead, at which
time Attorney Van Vactor appeared and
asked for further time In which to ans
wer. Prosecuting Attorney Phelps states
that he Is ready for trial and urges that
the cases be brought up at once and dis
posed of, but they will go over until a
later date as Judge Bean had dismissed
the trial Jury owing to the slowness of
tlie grand Jury in completing Its work.
Horace Russell, who was haled before
the grand jury as a witness on one of the
many liquor cases, was given 25 days in
the County Jail for refusing to answer
the questions of that body. t
Harry Dillon, who stole a gallon of
whisky Monday night and then tried to
slash Jeff Nell, proprietor of the Star
Hotel, who remonstrated with him for
his lawless actions, was sent to Jail for 30
davs. Jack Knox, who drank too much
near-beer and bitters last night and then
started a "rough-house" in a Chinese
restaurant, throwing a Chinaman through
a window and badly cutting his arm. was
given 15 days in the County Jail. Ralph
Jones and Ralph Cecil were given one
year In the penitentiary for assault upon
a Chinaman, but were paroled during
good behavior. Ed West waa fined $50
for giving liquor to a minor. Several
witnesses were examines by the grand
Jury relative to setting tires the past
Summer In the Blue Mountains.

TO THE PUBLIC:
The above letter received by me
Wednesday needs no comment. Al
though the sale has been in progress
but seven days and a great amount
ot business transacted, it is evident
the results are not entirely satisfac
tory to the Board of Directors. I
simply wish to state here that at the
present time the goods are being
sold very much below their real
worth and a further reduction would
mean an actual loss. However, in
compliance with the above order
from the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, I shall, during the
remaining days, close but the
stock at decided reductions from
the already low sale prices.' For
the next three days I promise values
such as have never before been
offered by any Portland store. No
mail orders filled, no goods charged.

TVAI-t-A WALLA. "Tash., Nov. 12.
(Special. ) Governor-elect S. G. Cos
grove arrived in Walla Walla on the
2:15 train this afternoon from his home
In Pomeroy, and was taken in an auto
mobile direct to St. Mary's Hospital,
where, he rested until 9 tonight, when
he took the train for Portland and Cali
fornia.
Dr. H. R. Keylor and Mrs. Cosgrove
accompanied the Governor, the former
to remain witn nim only until ne is
safely settled In one of the various
health resorts of California. Mrs. Cos
grove will remain until her husband is
able to return to his home state.
When he alighted from the train this
afternoon Mr. Cosgrove was met by a
few friends and the family physician.
Although feuble in the extreme . and
barely able to stand with the aid of a
cane, the Governor-elect seemed in ex
cellent spirits. When questioned at the
station as to his plans, the Governor
elect said he did not know just what
he would do, as his case was entirely in
the hands of his physician. It was im
possible to see the Pomeroy man after
he had entered the hospital, as visitors
and newspaper men were absolutely
forbidden interviews. Dr. Keylor said:
"You know the Governorrelect is a
desperately sick man, and It would be
unwise for him to see any one but the
family and physician."
When questioned as to the condition
of her husband, Mrs. Cosgrove said:
"We think he is Improving some, and
believe the trip to California will ben
efit him materially. -We expect to re
turn in time for the inauguration in
January."
The party was accompanied as far as
Portland by his son, E. E. Cosgrove.
