MILTON EAGLE'S VERSION. Of the Escapade of Clay J. Gordon, the Young Attorney. Clay J. Gordon, erstwhile city at tornpv. erstwhile attornev for the Washington & Oregon Electric Rail way and Power Co., etc., etc., is gone and the nlaces which knew him once will probaly know him no more. His going has left divers and sundry ach- intr voids In the pocket books or dif ferent business men of Milton. Cut a Big Swath. Mr. Gordon came to Milton about four months ago and announced his Intention of practicing his profession, law. He is a young man about 25 years of age, of prepossessing ap pearance and made friends reaany. On the resignation of City Attorney .T t' Hlnkle. he was elected to fill the vacancy, which office he has since filled. On the strength or having a rich father in .Texas his financial credit was considered first-class. He made numerous purchases of proper ty in and near Milton, including the McEachem residence on Main street. Recently It began to be whispered that all was not right and his credit; ors became anxious. The End Came. The storm broke Wednesday when Mr. McEachem demanded payment for his house. The money was not forthcoming and immediately there was something doing. His creditors swooped down upon him like a wolf on the fold. They were m consulta tion during the forenoon and Gordon took the 12 o'clock train for Pendle ton, ostensibly to raise money to meet his more pressing obligations. Mr. MnEachern was uneasy, however, that all was not right and took the evening train for Pendleton, wnere he learned that Gordon had boarded the east-bound train. He at once no tified the officials, who telegraphed nhoflfi and had him stonned at Hun tington and held, pending the arrival of Sheriff Taylor. Long List of Victims. His list of victims is a long one and tnflnrtfs nearlv everyone who had any dealings with him. His business . . 11 J 141 J- transacuons were on uoue wiuivui thft aid of filthy lucre, as a person who has a rich .father Is not subject to the petty annoyances common to ordinary mortals. J. M". Stone had' ordered a thousand dollars worth of furniture for him which ho will havo on his hands; F. B. Steen is out a $90 horse which he sold him; Landlord M. Quary, mounrs three and a half months board and refuses to bo com forted; Charles McKenzie Is out ?200 money loaned Gordon, but has a mortgage on the rubber tired buggy and Frank Steens horse, so he is safe; F. A. Wormlngton and A. Allen both have heavy claims against him for work done on the house, but will file Hens on the house to secure them selves. We- havn't space to enumer ate them all, but the list Includes several prominent citizens of Pendle ton. GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT. "8traw- Day" at Walla Walla Prom- lacs to Be Interesting. Walla Walla Aue 18. An Invita tion has been extended to Senators John H. Mitchell, George Turner and Addison G. Foster, Congressmen W. L. Jones and F. W. Cushman, Hon. M. M. Godman and A. J. Glllls, to be present at Walla Walla on "Straw day," and address the promoters of the good roads movement. The speak ers on behalf of the union labor or ganizations will be announced later All road supervisors and straw cap tains who can make it convenient to be present are requested to meet with the "Straw day" commttee on Tues day evening, August 19, 1902, at 7; 30 p. m., at tho Walla Walla Club rooms, 1 nthe Rees-Winans block, and dis cuss important business In connec tion with "Straw day." The committee Invites all who have automobiles, bicycles, rubber tired vehicles and fast horses to co ODerate actively In making the day a success, and to turn out In tho pa rade. Tho bicycle cranks nave aone an Immense work for tho improve ment of roads, and if they will select a speaker the committee win cneor- fully give him a place on tho prct gram. - An InvltnHnn hns been eivon to tho IWannerchoir, Walla Walla's celebrat- nil German musical society, to favor the "Straw day" program with one of its grand choruses. Messrs. Henry. Kauffman and Au- gustavo, the committee on carving and serving, are prepared to serve over 3000 people with barbecued meats and other choice viands, and say they will handle the crowd with neatness and dispatch. Look Pleasant, Please. Photographer C. C. Harlan, of Ea ton, O., can do so now, though for years he couldn't, because ho suffer ed untold agony from the worst form of Indigestion. All physicians and medicines failed to help him until ho tried Electric Bitters, which worked such wonders for him that ho de clares they are a godsend to Bufforers from dyspepsia and stomach troubles, Unrivaled for diseases of tho stom ach, liver, kidneys, they build up and give now life to the whole system. Try them. Only 50c. Guaranteed by Tallman & Co., druggists. Mr. Mellen States the Case. "You should not forget," said Presi dent Mellen of the Northern Pacific to a Portland reporter, "that tho Northern Pacific and tho O. R, & N. are competitors for business. Tho new, railroad policy has removed some causes of Irritation, and It may havo rndiicfid tho fierceness of competition in certain quarters, but It has not brought tho Northern I'acinc ana mo O. R. & N. into such harmony that they aro not actlvo competitors for business." Mr. Mellen had referenco to tho fact that the railroads of tho Pacific Northwest aro divided Into two great competing groups. On one hand Is tho merger, embracing tho Great Northern, tho Northern Pacific and tho Burlington. Control of the Bur Hngton is vested Jointly In tho North ern Pacific and tho Great Northern, controls all threo of these great sys tems. James J. Hill Is president of tho Northern Securities company, and. Is tho master spirit of this gi gantic combination. On the other hand is tho Harrlman system, owning tho Union Pacific and the O. R, & N., and having minority representation on tho board of tbo Northern Securities company. By reason of this minority representa tion a partial identity of Interest has been effected between these two great systems, but their Interest aro not yet so closely Interwoven as to elim inate real and actlvo competition.

A noiseless mosnulto has made its appearance Jn New Jersey, HANGED, BUT 8TILL LIVE8. Kansas Man Suspended for an Hour, but Failed to Die. Kansas Cltv Journal: Tho action of tho supremo court In sending tho eann of Murderer James Hamilton back to Dutlor county for a now trial has a pecnllar Interest from tuo iaci that Hamilton was hanged by the nnflf throiicrh a snaco of more than one hour and still lived to describe the frlghful sonsation ho underwont whilo swinging at tho end of a ropo. In tho spring of 1900 Hamilton killed Georgo J. Webb, his boss, whllo work ing on a railroad not far from Kuro ka. The mon had quarrelled and Hamilton slozed an ax and spilt Webb's bead open, causing Instant death, Ho was captured by the other laborers and strung up to a troo. Tho men woro not expert In tying tho hangman's knot, howovor, and the ropo did not compress Hamilton's neck tight enough to ontlroly shut off his breath. After ho had hung for more than an hour, a farmer who chanced to be passing, cut lilm down, but the mon who had been watching from a llttlo distance at onco closed In and pre pared to hang lilm again. And then followed a strange, yot Inspiring thing. Tho farmer stood over tho body of tho unconscious man and pleaded with the mob to let tho law take Its course, Little by llttlo he won them over, until at laBt they con sented to take Hamilton to El Dora do and turn him over to tho author ities. Hh was tried, convicted and sentenced to 21 years Jn tho peniten tiary. His attorney appealed the case to tho supreme court on a tcchnlcall-, ty. In tho trial ho asked certuln ot tho wltnesHos If they had, not takea part In tho hanging. Tho county at torney objected to this question and tho court ruled It out. Tho supreme court decided that this question was proper and sent tho caso back for a new trial. Note From Interior. D. W. Ilalston, of Mnyvlllo, pur chased 100 head of 2 and 3-year-oM Htoors from W.
