Commends District Attorney for
Zealoiixly Aiding Them.
Nine Indictments, six for gambling
and three for othr offences, were
returned last evening by the grand
Jury, and this forenoon the Jury sub
mitted Its written report to Judge
Ellis, after which It was excused.
Of those Indicted two are now In the
county Jail. Oscar Stone, the Weston
attorney, 1 charged with the double
crimes of embezzlement and obtaining
money under false pretenses. Robert
Weddle. the other prisoner. Is accus
ed of having helped Lewi In the Echo
holdup. A third man. Indicted for
obtaining money under false presences
has not -yet been arrested, nor hadH
any of the gamblers up to the time of
going to prew.
Nayhir Wan Poisoned.
One of the subjects Investigated by
the grand Jury was the murder of F.
O. Naylor, whose body was, found at
the forebay of the Dyer's mill race
last winter. District Attorney Phelps
submitted -evidence which InBlcatad
Naylor had hern poisoned -before be.
Ing thrown mto the rare. At the In'
stance of the district attorney an In
spection of the dead man's stomach
was made by a chemist, and It was
found to contain poison In the form
known as "knockout drops" sufficient
to cause death.
The members of the grand Jury are
unanimous In commending District
Attorney Phelps for the xeasous man
ner In which he aided them In the
work. The complete report of the
Jury Is as follow:
Report of Grand Jury hi Detail.
To Honorable W. R. Ellis, Circuit
Judge:
We, the grand Jury, duly Impaneled
at this, the June term of the circuit
court of Umatilla county, having fin
ished our labors, -espectfurty report
ae follows:
We have been hi session five days
and have examined a large number
of witnesses and hare returaed nine
true bills, and two not irue bills. We
have also considered several matters
-presented -to us by the district attnr
ney and others in which no Indict
ments have been returned, hot hnve
to do with cases presented to the dis
trict attorney prior to mir convening,
the most Important f which Is the
murder of one F. O. Naylor.
In fills cas we find that the dis
trict attorney, after consulting with
the herlff of the county, employed a
prlvntc detective to noskHt the sheriff
In investigating the cause of the death
f the said Naylor, and that he also
caused a chemical analyst to be made
of the contents uf the stomach of said
deceased. We have examined the re
port of the detectsve so emi'loyed and
hare henrd the statement of the other
offlwr connected -with the cum, read
the ewflinony given at the coroner's
Inquest and otherwise thoroughly In
vestigated the case, but we are tmnble
at this time to report or return an
Indictment against any person, be
cause of the Insufficiency of evidence.
We find from the report of the rpert
chemist that the deceased proSaWy
came to his death by menns of poison.
On account of the Importance of the
ease we desire to npprovo the action
of the officers In Incurring the ex
penso of the detective and of hnvtng
the contents of the stomach analyzed.
We havo also given thorough con
sideration to the cause of the death
of the person whose body was found
1n the box car which was burned near
Echo, In this county, but have been
unable to obtain sufficient evidence to
return a bill against any person, hut
have recommended that the soldier,
Wilson, who was in charge of the car
at the time It caught fire, bs released
pending further Investigation of the
case by the officers.
We have given careful consideration
to the questions of gambling, the
opening of saloons and other business
houses on Sunday and similar of
fenses, and have returned Indictments
In a number of cases. We find that
open gambling at least has beet quite
generally suppressed throughout the
county.
In regard to violation bf the Sun
day law we have had no sufficient
evidence on which to base indictments
and have had no complaints made to
us. Our Independent Investigations
lead us to believe that In some places
In the county the Sunday law Is not
as closely observed as the statutes
would require; yet generally speaking
we find the conditions to be not quite 1
satisfactory, but If maintained as at
present In most of the cities of th )
county, not such as to Justify action
In the state courts.
We have been unable on account of
the Insufficiency of time to go into
any careful examination of any of 'he
offices of the county, or of the accur
acy of the books, but we do not deem
thla necessary, Inasmuch as all the
books have been but recently experle 1
with the exception of the books of the
different school districts of the coun
ty, and In this connection we find
that the district attorney has taken
some steps toward causing an expert
examination to be made of the books
of the various districts, and In this we
most heartily concur. We believe It
to be an advantage to the officers and
to the taxpayers In general to know
that the books are being correctly
kept and the money properly distrib
uted for school purposes. We have
no reason to expect, that a shortage
exists in any district, and it Is not In
contemplation of such that we make
this recommendation, but merely that
there may be no uncertainty about the
mutter.
We have also examined the county
property known as the "poor farm,"
and find that some considerable dam
age was done by the recent high wa
ter, but that repairs can be made
without very great cost We recom
mend that the buildings on the farm
be repainted. We have also examined
the county Jail and find the same In
good repair, clean and well-kept.
And now, having thoroughly con
sidered all matters that should prop
erly come to the attention of the
grand Jury, and everything presented
to us by any complaining or Interested
parties, our labors are finished and
we respectfully ask to be discharged.

BRIDGE AND ROAD REPAIRS.
County Commissioners Making Prog.
reus at Inspection.
After having Inspected the roads
and bridges at Echo, the members of
the county court returned to Pendle
ton last evening and today they have
been viewing the damaged bridges In
this vicinity.
According to Commissioner Horace
Walker, the Butter creek bridge across
the Umatilla will not be rebuilt nt
pdesent, as there Is no pressing de
mand for Its Immediate repair. How
ever, It will be necessary to construct
a 100-foot span for the bridge across
the river nt Echo. This bridge Is a
long one, being 360 feet' In length.
During the high water one end was
washed away completely, much after
;he manner In which the bridge above
the hospital was damaged.
It will also be necessary to construct
a 100-foot span at the north end of
the bridge above the city. The work
en both that and the Echo bridge will
be done by contract, and bids for the
repairs will be asked for shortly.
This evening Commissioner Lee will
return to his home near Milton, and
on Monday Commissioner Walker will
Join him there. They two will then
make a detailed Inspection of the
bridges nnd roads In the north end
Commissioner Walker received a
message today saying that the road to
the N. W. O. & E. company's power
noure hns now been temporarily re
paired so that supp'les may be taken
clear to the plant.
SHANIKO WOOL SALES.
AnTagc Price Pnld at Last Sales Was

HOUSE INSPECTION
and other Improper food.
Two men working at the slaughter
house said they had been there but a
few days, and to their knowledge none
of the animals had been butchered.
Later In the day the local manager of
the company appeared before Dr.
Cole and told that official tho trouble
had been caused by an Incompetent
man who was In charge of the slaugh
ter house. He had gone upon a drunk
and neglected to attend to his work.
According to the manager, the hogs
at the yard were stock hogs and not
Intended for slaughter.
This afternoon the matter Is still
being Investigated by the district at
torney, who has summoned the for
mer employe to appear as a witness
before him. Whether or not the case
will warrant any criminal action, re
mains to be seen.
Frankenstein. The remainder of the
force Is now scattered over the state.
Messrs. Judd, Kuhn and DeFour went
from Hhanlko to Portland, while Wil
liam Ellery proceeded to The Dalles.
Concerning the big sain at Hhanlko
L. Straus said:
"During the two days of the sale
1,500,000 pounds of wool was sold,
and It represented all that was then
In the warehouses. None of the wool
placed on sale was withdrawn, the
highest bid being accepted In each In
stance. "The highest price paid for any one
clip was 23 cents, which was given
for that of the Baldwin Sheep & Land
company. The clip of the Prlnevllle
Sheep & Land company sold for 23
cents. Both of these clips are large,
and rank with the finest wool In the
west
"The average price for ordinary
wool at the Shanlko sale was about
20 4 cents, which Is a little under the
prices given there last year. At the
sale a year ago the Baldwin com
pany's wool sold for one-fourth of a
cent higher than this saason."
According to Mr. Straus the wool of
the Shanlko section Is the best in the
state, and this accounts for the fact
that the prices paid there are higher
than those given at the Pendleton and
Heppner sales.
The second Shaniko sale will be
held on June 19 and 20, on which oc
casion many of the remaining clips
will be placed on the market. The
Shanlko people claim that the ' total
amount of their wool this season Is 4,
000,000 pounds.

Treadwell then offered a resolution
placing on the third reading for final
passage 25 bills, this bringing before
the assembly every measure that Is"
to be passed. In the batch was a bill'
appropriating 8500.000 for establish

objection In connection with this
measure on the ground that the ap

but unconstitutional, maintaining tha
political code specifically provides ,
that all state business be transacted
at the capital. Buslck failed to carry
his point, and the Treadwell resolu-.
