Sherry Is a wkite man, now a "squaw

much surprised when the two entered
his presence today, and roach more
surprised when informed that he was
to marry them.
After being shewn the license, how
ever, he proceeded with the ceremony.
The bride and sjroom are each 40
years of age, and both gave their oc
cupation as farmers. The bride was
nearly blind and esuld hardly see to
make her wavering cross on the cer

It is conservatively estimated by

during the recent high water and
heavy snows in the mountains in
.Umatilla and Morrow counties.
W4vile the Individual losses have not'
all been listed, enough have been re
ported tto bring the approximate loss
up to tlris number in the two counties.
Almost .every sheepman In the two
counties lost from 100 to 500 head,
and as there are about 55 sheepmen in

In the circuit court this morning
the trial of Oscar C. .Stone for obtain
ing money under false pretenses, be
gan. The rime for which the one
time Weston attorney was placed on
trial was for having Issued a check
for 110 upon the Bank of Weston,
when he had no funds in that institu
tion. The check was given Will Wells
on April 4 last, and several days later
other checks were sent Jn from Spo
kane. All were rejected for want of
funds.
In the trial of Stone District Attor
ney Phelps appeared for the state,
while Messrs. Winter & Collier are
representing the defendant. The fore
noon was devoted to the selection of
a Jury, which was empanelled as fol
lows: A. L. Snaggart. J. H. Saling, Wil
liam Talbert, J. M. O'Harra, Louis
Hagen, Thomas Spence, J. M. Hart
nett, J. W. Coppinger, J. T. Laing,
Charles White, E. A. Dudley and A.
T. Perkins.
The taking of testimony for the
state began shortly after 2 o'clock.
Stone Sued for Divorce.
Since he has been confined in the
county Jail here Stone has been sued
for divorce by his wife, who resides
In Portland, and the allegations made
In the complaint throw some light on
the character of the Weston "attor
ney." The two were married In Spo
kane In 1900, and according to the
plaintiff Stone began Jls matrimonial
career by stealing their wedding pres
ents and pawning the same. She says
Stone claimed relationship to John
Hay, late secretary of state, and per
suaded her to go with him to Arizona.
However, he soon left that territory
because of the financial transactions
In which he was Involved. For a time
they were In Nevada and later re
turned to Oregon. From this stato he
went to Montana to escape arrest, and
was taken In Butte, where he was In
Jail for t?ur months, Lajer he was
rm6ved to the Multnomah county
Jail, where he remained three months.
During all their married lite the
plaintiff declares her husband failed
to provide a home for her and was
harsh and abusive.
Mcrtilth Pleaded Guilty.
' William Morldth, the last of the
bunch of gamblers Indicted by the
grand Jury, appeared before Judge
Ellis this afternoon and pleaded guil
ty to the charge against him. He was
thereupon fined the sum of $50.
Some amusement was caused In the
court room Just after Merldth had
pleaded guilty, when the district at
torney arose and asked him if he did
not wish to plead guilty to another
charge which had been standing for
some time. It was for gambling also,
and had been preforred against the
defendant during T. O. Halley's term
as district attorney. However, Mer
Idth declared he was not guilty of
that charge, and accordingly a plea of
not guilty was entered. The matter
will be looked up by District Attorney
Phelps to see if the case will warrant
a trial.
Charged Willi Incest.
In the case of the application of C.
L. Wlngard for a writ of habeas cor'
pus to secure the custody of his
minor daughter the court this after
noon designated Tuesday, June 19, as
a day for hearing.
An answer to. the application for
possession of the child was filed today
by C. H. Carter, attorney for Mrs.
Wlngard". The child in question Is but
11 years of age, and It is alleged in
the- answer that the plaintiff, her
father, forced her to commit Incest
with him while she was under his cus
tody. The child Is now 111 with the mea
sles at Milton, and an order Is out for
the sheriff; to have custody of her un
til after the trial. Judge Fee and At
torney Oscar Cain of Walla Walla
represent Wlngard In the case.
CIRCUIT
CI
WILL PAVE STREETS
AX ORDIXAXCE WILL BE
PRESENTED TOMORROW,
Council Means Business, and Levee
Extension and Improvement Will
Keep Pace With PavliiK Affairs-
Charter Changes Can Now Be Ef
fected, and It la Believed "Some
thing Will Be Doing" Soon Outline
of Methods for Accomplishing Im
provciuciits Is Given Below.
That Pendleton will have paved
streets In spite of the loss sustained
during the flood now seems certain,
and through the change that has been
made In the constitution allowing
cities to amend their own charters.
other needed local Improvements are
likely1 to be secured.
The time for remonstrating against
the paving of Main and Court streets
has now passed, and today City Attor
ney McCourt prepared a paving ordi
nance which will be presented to the
council tomorrow night. After Its
passage 10 days will be required for
the receipt of bids on bltullthlc pave
ment, and then the contract for the
work may be let.
Council Mourn Business.
That the council means to go ahead
with its paving program is now evl
dent, though for a time after the
flood the proposition was In the
doubtful list. When asked this morn
lng if he and his fellow counctlmen
meant business E. J. Murphy, chair
man of the finance committee, de
clared they did.
"Since It Is possible for the city to
Issue $10,000 additional levee bonds
to pay for levee repairs or extensions
we will be able to fix the levee and
pave also," he said.
Charter Change Now Easy.
But there Is another thing that has
brought delight to the hearts of the
counctlmen as well as others who wish
to see Pendleton provided with some
Improvements benefiting a town of Its
size. It Is the constitutional amend
ment allowing towns and cities to
change their own charters, and which
carried by a large vote at the recent
election. The amendment is as fol
lows:
"Section 2 of article XI of the con
stltution of the state of Oregon shall
be, and the same Is, hereby amended
to read as follows:
"Section 2. Corporations may be
formed under general laws, but shall
not be created by the legislative as
sembly by special laws. The leglsia
tlve assembly shall not enact, amend,
or repeal any charter or act of Ineor
poratlon for any municipality, city, or
town. The legal voters of every city
and town are hereby granted power
to enact and amend their municipal
charter, subject to the constitution
and criminal laws of the state of Ore
gon."
According to City Attorney John
McCourt the above amendment will
be In force as soon as the vote has
been canvassed by the secretary of
state and the governor has proclaimed
the result. It will then be possible
for the city to change Its charter with
out waiting for legislative action, and
from appearances there will be
"something doing" along that line be
fore the summer Is over.
Makes Improvements Possible.
There are several ways In which
improvements may be made possible
through charter changes. The present
$10,000 limit of scrip Indebtedness
could be extended, or bond Issues for
the purposes of Improvements could
be voted. In this way ample funds
could be provided for street Improve
ments, levee extensions and perhaps
for the erection of a city hall.
In the opinion of Councilman Mur
phy the proper way to secure money
for Improvements Is through bond Is
sues with provisions for a sinking fund
for each project. He says that next
year some of the levee bonds may be
redeemed, and as a cheaper rate of
Interest may now be secured, a heav
ier bonded Indebtedness would not
cost the city any more for Interest than
does the present debt. The levee
bonds draw seven per cent, and It Is
said money may now be secured for
four and four and a half cents.
While It is yet too early to tell Just
what will be asked for In the way of
charter amendments, It is certain that
something will be forthcoming before
many months. However, the street
paving contract will not be held up
awaiting any such action, for the
council will be able to carry out Its
paving plans by going tho $10,000
limit of indebtedness.
It is also evident that the recent
ly adopted amendment will open up
a new era of municipal legislation,
and that from a public improvement
standpoint the change In the constltu
Hon will be a blessing to Pendleton.

MANY BET OX TOM WORD.
Contest Over Sherirrs Office In Mult
nomah Ties Up 910,000.
At least $10,000 of wagered money
Is tied up awaiting the decision of the
court In the contest for the office of
sheriff, says the Oregan Dally Jour
nal. This Is the amount that Schiller,
the cigar man, holds and will hold un
til the contest is definitely settled and
either Stevens or Word receives the
properly certified certificate of elec
tion from the court. How much Is
held by other stakeholders Is not
known, but it Is said to be considera
ble. Few of the sports have asked
and none have received a draw-down
on their bets, and there Is no' likeli
hood that the stakeholders will de
clare all bets off.
Much less money was wagered on
the gubernatorial contest,. Of this
Schiller holds about $1000, none of
which has yet been paid. The money
has been held back as a precaution
against the possibility of the election
resulting otherwise than at first re
ported. Payment, according to the
cigar man will be made either to
night or tomorrow.
' The bets placed on the fight for
other offices were few and small.
XEED 10,000 LABORERS.
Scarcity of Labor Ties Up Industries
In Northwest.
There is room today In Oregon for
10.000 more men to work at common
labor at wages higher than have ever
before been paid for common labor In
time of peace In the United States,
says the Oregon Dally Journal. The
Pacific coast Is calling to the east for
Its surplus working population. Here
In Oregon the worklngman may find
the most healthful conditions, the best
living, the pleasantcst surroundings,
the warmest welcome and a climate
that will permit him to work out of
doors the whole year.
It is said the most serious menace
to the Increasing prosperity and de
velopment of the Pacific northwest at
the present time is the lack of men
to do the work that must be done In
various lines of construction. Busi
ness men who have looked carefully
over the field say there Is bound to
be a sharp advance of wages for com
