Found Guilty, Then Innocent
and Resignations Result.
tA GRANDE. Or., May 12. (Special.)
La Grande was without a police force
most of the day owing to the resigna
tion of Chief of Police Avant and his
entire force.
The resignations came as the result
of the reversal oy Municipal Justice
Kakin of a decision made by himself
last Saturday, when he fined Charles
McCorkel $25 for resisting: an officer.
The alleged resistance came about
when McCorkel took a cow from the
pound, after requesting and obtaining
the permission of the city poundmaster
and City President Macwood.
In a clash that resulted both Mc
Corkel and the Chief of Police were
injured. McCorkel and B. A. Bennett
testified at the trial that the Chief and
his assistant, Tom Driscoll, lay in wait
for them and abused them severely
when they took the cow.
McCorkel appealed from Judge
Lakln s decision.
When his trial came up before Judge
Kakin on a charge of taking the cow
from the pound, and McCorkel testified
with an array of fitnesses. Judge
Kakin reversed his decision in the re
sistance case and also found him not
guilty on the charge of taking the cow
from the pound.
Chief of Police Avant and his entire
force handed in their stars. City Man
ager Lafky performed part of the po
lice duties last -night, and this after
noon ex-Deputy Game Warden Oral was
appointed to fill the vacancy. Deputy
patrolmen have been appointed.

NIGHTR1DING NOT PROVED
Judge at South Bend Instructs Jury
to Kind "Not Guilty.
SOUTH BEND, Or.. May 12. (Spe
cial.) Judge Ben Sheeks, of Monte
sano, sitting for Judge Wright, this
afternoon ordered a directed verdict
for J. N. Howard in the first of sev
eral famous North River "nigrhtriding"
cases, in which Howard was being
tried for arson. The Jury, without
leaving its seat, brought in a verdict
for the defendant.
This will probably end a neighbor
hood quarrel at Brooklyn, which al

county upward of 98000. The ther
cases against nine "nightriders " may
be dismissed, as well as that against
Karl Koss for felling a tree upon the

VANCOUVER, "Wash., May 12. (Spe
cial.) That the North Bank soon will
electrify its road from Vancouver to
Portland is a rumor here that seems
to come from reliable sources.
It la said that the steam engines will
be taken off of the trains here and the
trains will be taken to Portland by
heavv electric motors.
The plan has many advantages, xne
engines will be in the local rouna
houses of the company and have much
lontrer time for overhauling and re
pairs; the firemen and engineers win
be able to live in Vancouver: the en
gines will not be left out all night in
the weather and the service on the
railroad will be improved, because
electric cars could be provided to run
from Vancouver to Portland in com
petition with the lines to be built
across the Columbia Interstate bridge.
A report from Washougal has it that
the North Bank road Is investigating
the advisability of electrifying the
whole road from Portland to Wash
oueal and later to Cape Horn, with
freiuent Jnterurban service, making it
Dossibla for people to worn in i-ori-
land and live along the Columbia on

SALEM, Or.. May 12. (Special.)
With the object of establishing a uni
form system of tolls, the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph Company. In Ore
gon, at the request of the State Rail
road Commission, has started the work
of making an Inventory and appraise
ment of its property. The company
has employed a corps of men to do the
work and has opened special offices in
Portland for them. The appraisal will
be made so that the engineers of the
State Railroad Commission may have
access to them at all times to check the
results.
Heretofore, in making valuations
upon which to fix rates, the Railroad
Commission has first asked for a valua
tion, from the company and used that
as a basis upon which to arrive at one
of its own. However, in the case of
the telephone company, an agreement
was reached whereby the company and
the engineers of the Commission will
work simultaneously, that when the
appraisal has been made by the com
pany, the Commission will know if It
is correct. As the engineers and em
ployes of the company virtually will
work in conjunction, it is believed that
the report will be taken by the Com
mission without question.
Many complaints have been received
by the Commission regarding the rates
and service of the company, and it was
decided some time ago that the best
way to arrive at a uniform schedule
was to have an appraisement made of
the property. Discrimination has been
charged in numerous instances. It has
been estimated that the value of the
Pacific Telegraph & Telephone Com
pany's property in this state is about
$90,000,000.
The Commission is determined that
a uniform system of rates be estab
lished, to put an end to the many com
plaints of patrons.
