Statu Dental Examiners Compel Ex
a Hons. '
After having passed all of last week
In Portland attending the meeting of
the. state board of dental examiner,
to which he was recently appointed,
Dr. E. A. Vaughan returned home this
morning.
The session of the board was longer
than usual this time owing to the
large number of candidates for ad
mission to practice. In all, 85 appll-
cants appeared, and of this number
about 20 were admitted by the board.
Of those who failed a number of men
who had been practicing and tried to
gain certificates under the law which
allows such to one who has practiced
for five years. In many cases the ap
plicants failed to show proofs of such
practice and were accordingly reject
ed. All students are required to take
an examination before being admit
ted. FARM RESIDENCE BURNED.
Narrow Escape for Infant Child of
Martin Markewon Yesterday Morn-
The new farm residence of Martin
Markeson's five miles west of the city
on the Umatilla river, was burned
with Its contents Sunday morning.
The origin of the fire Is unknown. It
started In the upper story where
there had been no stove. The family
recently moved Into the house, which
waa completed but a short time ago.
An Infant asleep In the cradle In a
bedroom had a very narrow escape
from death, Its cradle having been
burned. The child's face was badly
burned before It could be rescued by
Its mother, who was In the kitchen
when the fire started. There was no
Insurance on the house and the fam
ily lost everything, practically.
Misfortune has followed Markeson
for the past year. Several months
ago a valuable team was stolen from
him and he has been unable to re
cover It. The recent flood drowned
three good cows and a number of
hogs and chickens and the fire of
yesterday morning came as, a severe
climax to his III luck.
VERDICT FOR
AGAINST THE BONDSMEN
OF SHERIFF HUNTINGTON.
The Civil Action Wan Brought Sub
sequent to a Criminal Action
Again Huntington ami Which Re.
suited In Ills Aeqnlttal One Bonds
man Allowed Judgment to Be
Taken by Default Case Wll He Ap
pealed. At 8:30 yesterday morning the Jury
In the Huntington case brought In a
verdict In favor of Bnker county, the
county being given Judgment against
the Huntington bondsmen for the sum
of $10,000 and interest since March
12, 1103. That was the amount sued
for and It Is the same as was allowed
the county by the other Jury which
tried the case here.
It was 11 o'clock Saturday night
when the attorneys In the case com
plet"'1 their arguments nml the ca'
,VH ... over to the liny. After
both sides had completed the presen
tation of testimony the cae was ar
gued for the county and he was ans
wered hy Colonel Raley, after which
the discussion was taken up by
Messrs. Greene nnd Smith, leading
counsels In the case. It Is under
stood that no decision was reached by
the Jury during the night, and that the
verdict was agreed upon Sunday
morning.
The Huntington case has attracted
much attention because of the hard
fought legal battle that has grown out
of the attempt of the county to secure
from the bondsmen of the sheriff the
sum of $10,000, whleh that official
was found to be short In 1903. After
the shortage had been discovered,
criminal action was taken against the
sheriff, but he was acquitted, as wns
also the chief deputy, who was tried
subsequently. The county then com
menced action against th ebondsmen
to recover the amount of the shortage.
Thev are Harry A. Duffy, A. L. Brown,
James Fleetwood, J. W. Isenhofer, J.
F. Fyfor and D. Cnrtwrlght. Of
these the first named allowed Judg
ment to be taken by default, and the
verdict given yesterday wos against
the remaining five. The chief point
in the defense during the reecnt trial
was that the bond was not legally ex
ecuted and had never been turned
over to the county by the bondsmen.
The bond had been given to the
county judge by Sheriff Huntington
himself, but the defense maintained
the sheriff had no authority to take
such action.
In the criminal case at Buker City,
as well as the three circuit court trials
over the bond, T. G. Greene, of Port
land, has been the chief attorney for
the county, while William Smith, of
Baker City, has represented the
bondsmen.
Will Appeal Again.
This morning Colonel J. H. Raley
stated that the case will be once more
appealed to the supreme court. The
basis of the appeal to the higher
court will be that Judge Ellis erred In
allowing the case to go to the' jury at
all; that the bond should not have
been admitted a evidence, and conse
quently there was nothing to consti
tute a case.
