Show Cases anil Shelves Were Rifled of Guns; Watches, Pocket Knives and Other Miscellany Evidences of Much liable and Nervousness The Safe Was Not Molested and the Money Till Was Left Untouched Lodgers Nearby Probably Heard the Window Break as the Burglars Gained Ingress. Sharon & Eddlngs' second-hand store on Main street was robbed some time Saturday night by burglars who broke In through a large window In the rear. Articles to the value of 1100 or more were taken. The burglary was discovered early yesterday morning by Mr. Sharon. On entering the store he found the show case In the front of the store had been ransacked, and there were other evi dences that unwelcome customers had been present the night previous. Four pistols had been taken, two watches, one watch case, about 20 pocket knives and doubtless other things. The knives had been In pasteboard boxes and the empty boxes were thrown on the floor by the robber. Several gun scabbards and a large leather belt were thrown on the floor In the rear of the room, where the burglar made his exit through the broken window. Evidently he had started to carry away those articles and changed his mind regarding them. From appearances the burglar was nervous while robbing the store, as he left articles of more value than he took. No effort was made to break open the safe, which contained the more valuable watches and articles of Jewelry. Nor was the money till, con taining several dollars, molested. . Parties sleeping In the rear of the W. ft C. R. office say they heard a loud noise about 2 o'clock Sunday morning, and It was doubtless the sound of breaking glass. No one was suffllcently aroused to Investigate at the time. TWO EXCITING RUNAWAYS. Said to Have Been Caused by Horses Scaring at an Automobile. Two runaways occurred last eve ning as the result of horses becoming frightened at Fred Gordon's auto, and a third accident was narrowly avert ed. Shortly after 6 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Mark Patton were driving up Water street In a single bugyg. As they drew near Vincent street Mr. Patton saw the Gordon auto coming down Lewis street. It Is a noisy machine, and fearing his horse would be fright ened, he started to turn around In the street and drive back down . Water. However, the auto came up before he could do so and the horse became un manageable. He turned suddenly, throwing both Mr. and Mrs. Patton from the "buggy and dashed off down Water street. In falling Mr. Patton struck on his right shoulder, causing a. severe wrenoJ;, and he was other wirse hurt, though, not seriously. Mrs. Patton Wat uninjured as she fell on top of her husband. The hor was hot stopped until It reached the Pat ton barn. The buggy was considera bly damaged by the short turn which threw the occupants from the rig. But a few minutes after the Patton runaway, a similar accident occurred on Jackson street, the same auto be ing the source of alarm. As It was going up that street a horse driven by James McCool, became frightened and ran away. After going a snort ais tance the buggy collided with a tele phone pole, throwing Mr. McCool out and Injuring i head. Miss Myrtle Hill, who was riding with him, re malned In the buggy and was not in Jured. On striking the pole the horse broke from the shafts and ran down the street, being stopped on the Main street bridge. Before either of the above runaways occurred last evening N. Joerger had a narrow escape from the same auto mobile. At the time, Mr. Joerger and his family were driving above town and his horse became badly frighten ed at the auto. However, he was res cued by T. Q. Montgomery, who, hav ing a gentle horse, drove between Mr. Joerger and the Juggernaut, thus allowing Mr. Joerger to get away. .

A decision has been received from the commissioner of the general land office In the case of Joseph BaJteiore, Involving the right to timber land on the Umatilla reservation.

At the meeting of the Umatilla County Development league, which was held at the rooms of the Com mercial association on Saturday eve ning, the executive committee of the league was authorized and Instructed to expend 3125 In printing booklets for distribution In the east and on westbound homeseeker trains, simi lar to the 2500 which have just been Issued by the East Oregonlan. This was the most Important busi ness transacted at the meeting and It is believed that judicious advertising will bring a large number of perma nent settlers Into the county. Repre sentatives from Weston, Hermlston, Echo, Athena, Umatilla and Pendle ton branches of the county league were present, and after the business meeting a banquet which had been prepared by Pendleton business men, was enjoyed at Eagles' hall, at which the program of addresses printed In the East Oregonlan on Saturday eve ning, was rendered. Report of tike Secretary. Tho report of Secretary H. C. Willis, of the county league, was received with enthusiasm. He went Into the details of his work as secretary and traveling representative of the league on homeseeker trains and recom mended a number of Important mat ters which will be taken up by the organization. He recommended that literature be sent In charge of a competent agent Into the eastern states, where It Is known that homeseekers desiring western homes are now preparing to start west, and there Interest them In the resources of Umatilla county. He declared that he had found people absolutely Ignorant of the county, on account of a lack of advertising. He also recommended in a local way, the holding of a prior Irrigation congress, to meet at this city before the national congress meets at Boise in September, for the purpose of for mulating a plan of action to be car ried out by delegates from the arid section of the Inland empire. . He recommended a permanent exhibit of the resources of the county In a per manent pavilion to be erected in this city, where all forms of : products might be displayed to advantage. He also recommended the holding of an agricultural fair In this city, the starting of the Pendleton woolen mills and other live and pertinent matters which were discussed by the speakers at the banquet. O. R. A N. Officials Present. William McMurray, assistant gen eral passenger agent of the Harrlman lines north of California, and R. M. Hall, advertising agent of the O. R. ft N., were present at the meeting and encouraged the distribution of descriptive literature, and offered the services of the Harrlman lines In dis tributing it anywhere that It might be deemed advantageous. Mr. Mc Murray spoke warmly of the work being done by the league, which Is now but two months of age. Both of the gentlemen are experts in advertising lines, as they are direct ly connected with the great advertls-1 Ing department of the Harrlman sys tem which distributes tons and train loads of advertising matter each year in the east, and which brings actual results every day. They advised the printing and distribution of at least 50.000 booklets on the resources of the county and promised to place any number of these booklets with their eastern agents who would In turn place them In the hands of actual homeseekers coming to the north west Both Mr. McMurray and Mr. Hall complimented the league on the excel lence of the booklet Issued, and said the only criticism that could possibly be made was that not enough hnd been printed. Following Mr. McMurray's address on the benefits of advertising the county, a motion was made to expend 3125 of the funds on hand in the printing and distribution of the book lets. The report of Treasurer George W. Proebstel, of Weston, showed a bal ance of cash on hand amounting to 3140, and all the Mils of the league paid to date. In the absence of President James Johns, of the league, J. L. McNnught, vice president, of Hermlston, prslded ovtr the meeting. PREPARING O. R. & N. BOOKLET.
