ELECTRIC LINES CAUSE
. GROWTH OF SETTLEMENTS
Believes Pendleton Would Be Much
Benefited By Securing; Extension
of Proposed Electric Line From
Holilman to This City County
Would Increase In Population
Electric Roads Vicinity Los An
grles Done Wonders for the Coun
try T. K. Beard Talks of Lines.
"The electric roads In the vlcinnty
of Los Angeles have simply built up
the country settlements until all along
the lines are new almost continuous
villages," said T. K. Beard, owner of
the Golden Rule hotel building In
this city, who is here from hli home
In Modesto on a brief business visit.
Mr. Beard believes that Pendleton
can do nothing of more value to the
city than to secure an extension of
the proposed electric line from Hold
man to this city. The survey is al
ready made from Simmons Landing
on the Columbia river to Holdman
and he believes that the people .of
this city and the surrounding coun
try should never stop until the cars
are running Into Pendleton.
"Where formerly the country set
tlements were light In the vicinity of
Los Angeles," said Mr. Beard, "the
coming of the electric lines has built
up fine homes, stimulated settle
ment and brought good Improve
ments. People like to live In the
country where they have quick com-
Lmuntcation with their trading cen
ters and what has been true of the
Los Angeles district would be true
of Umatilla county.
"While the country north of Pen
dleton does not now support a heavy
population. It is capable of support
ing such and If electric lines were
constructed there it would doubtless
be thickly settled.
"There Is no richer wheat land In
the west than that lying north of
Pendleton and the volume o ftrafflc
which an electric line would carry
out of that district would more than
justify Its construction, to say noth
ing of the country home-building
which such a line would stimulate.
"So great Is the business of the
country electric lines in the vicinity
of Los Angeles, that they run special
trains for country people returning
home late at night from theaters,
public meetings or other events In the
city. It seems to me that the people
of Pendleton and the surrounding
country should do everything possible
to bring the line from Holdman Into
this city."

CHARACTER TESTIMONY.
(Continued from page L)
was engaged In buying wheat and
f:rmiiig. His testimony correspond
ed with the preceding witness.
Judge Fits Oerald city recorder,
In addition to the question as to the
reputation of the deceased for hon
esty was also asked, "Was a com
plaint ever made to you, as judge of
the police court, about Bob F.stei
having robbed anybody prior to the
time that it is alleged he was killed
by Mr. McManusY" This question
was objected to and the objection
sustained.
Burt Huffman next took the stand
and said he was asquainted with the
reputation of Estes for honesty and
that it . was bad.
James Peck stated that he had seen
Estes in Lynde. Washington, and
that ho knew the city marshal ln
that place. "Did you ever see the
city marshal meet Bob Estes on the
street and require him to leave the
city of Lynde?" asked . Judge Fee.
The ohlection to this question was
sustained.
Thomas Thompson of Pendleton
stated that he was engaged In farm
ing and that he knew Bob Estes and
his reputation, and that it was bad
for honesty.
At 10:45 the court allowed a short
recess.
Another Purpose lor Gun.
The defense attempted to show by
Oeorgo Carnes and Owen Carnes,
merchants of Pilot Rock, that Mc
Manus had ordered a gun, or asked
to have one sent for, through their
firm, fur the purpose of shooting
game, but the court ruled it out as
being too remote. Neither was their
testimony In regard to what McMan
vs had told them about the robbery
allowed to go In.
After nearly all of the objections
had been made bv the prosecution
and sustained by the court, the coun
el for the defense dictated to the re
porter his statement of what be wish
ed to prove. As this was done to one
side much time was consumed this
morning.
George Peeblcr,
Upon the reconvening of court
tfenrge Peebler was called to the
stand. He said he knew Bob Estes
and that he knew his reputation for
honesty and that It was bad.
George Ernest was next called and
raid he had also resided at Baker
City. While there he knew Estes,
but he was not allowed to testify as
tv his reputation there.
L. A. Ksteb was then sworn and
said that while practicing law at Bak
er City he had known Estes. But
objection was made by the state to
his telling of his reputation there, the
objection being that it was not shown
that F.stes was ever residing there,
whereas the language of , the statute
Is that only a man's reputation In
the community wherever he resides
may be shown.
In a ringing reply Judge Fee held
that It mattered not how long a man
resided In n place and that while in
Flaker City for but a short time the
deceased may have established a rep
utatlon that followed him to his
grave.
Af'f.r much parleying Judge Bean
sustained the objection on the ground
that the question should not have
been confined to Estes' reputation at
Baker City.
Judge Fee took exception to ths
ruling and then dictated Into the rec
ord what he expected the witness to
testify to had he been allowed to
testify.
Fsteb was not cross-examined.
William Temple.
William Temple was next culled.
He had known Fstes for 23 ypars.
He said Estes' reputation was not
very good.
John McCourt.
.Tolir. McCourt, city attorney, was
then culled and ndmltted he was city
attorney, a partner with restrict At
torney Phelps and that he was his
deputy. He knew W. L. Glbbs and
v-ns irked If he had ever made com
plaint ngalnst Estes for having been
robbed by the deceased. Put he was
not allowed to testify upon that
point. His answer was dictated Into
the record.
rainier Edwards.
Pelrrer Edwards was then called
and said he had worked In Elliott's
lunch counter and while there Mc
Manu had hwn there about 12
o'clock une night; that McManus ha
purif money with him: that he was
accompanied by a man named Mc
Carty. McManus had J5 which Ed
ward saw. They left thp place and
thre hour? later Edwards heard o
McM.Miu being robbed. ,
Afternoon Session.
When tlie court convened at 2
o'clock this afternoon, Dr. L. K
Dlakcslf e was called to the stand.
"If a bullet entered the right side
between the 10th and 11th ribs and
lodged Immediately under the skin
under the fith rib four Inches right of
the spine. In what position would the
man shot have been standing?" asked
Judge Fee, who also specified the
organs through which McManus'
bullet passed Into Estes' body.
The question was objected to by
Mr. Phelps on the ground that Judge
Fee's description of the bullet
com no did not tally with that of Dr.
Pest. Judge Bean Instructed tho
stenographer to transcribe that por
tion of Dr. Eest's testimony.
The Hypothetical Question
Aft'ir referring to the notes the
question was then put as follows:
"In what position, doctoi, would a
man be standing who was wounded
by a bullet entering his body on th
right side between the 10th and 11th
rib four inches from the center oi
the spine, external measurement.
passing through the upper part of the
right kidney, penetrating the right
side of the first lumbar vertebra
making a slight groove on the same,
thence through the Inferior vena
cava, the upper border of the pan'
creas, the left lobe of the liver, not
penetrating the stomach, and finally
passing through the anterior end of
the sixth rib on the left side at Its
articulation with the central cartl
lage and lodging Immediately under
lie skin?"
In rrply to tho question Dr. Blakes-
lee gave It as his opinion that the body
must have been In a stooping posi
tion and leaning slightly to the left.
Dr. Smith's Opinion.
Dr. Smith was called and the same
hypothetical question put to him as
to Dr. Blakeslee. Dr. Smith said that,
barring deflections, the position of
the body would be as Illustrated. The
doctor then took a position leaning
to the left and slightly stooping.
On cross-examination the witness
Bald that tissue might deflect a bullet
where It passed from a soft tissue to
a harder one.
He said that It was not Impossible
for a bullet striking the vertebra
to have been deflected upward. But
that the vertebrae were much softer
than most of the other bones and were
rather spongy and easily punctured.
Dr. Vincent Verifies others.
The same question that was asked
Dr. Blakeslee and Dr. Smith was asked
Dr. F. W. Vincent. In order for the
bullet to take the course described In
the question, Dr. Vincent said that the
body would be In a stooping position
at an angle of about 45 degrees, and
In Illustrating assumed the same posi
tion as had the previous medical ex
perts.
Dr. Vincent said that the probability
of the bullet being deflected was not
very great, but that it might be chang
ed from Its course. A great deal
would depend on the vertebrae. The
bullet might strike the vertebra,
glance around it, and shoot upward
back of the stomach.
Dr. W. G. Cole on the Stand.
Dr. W. Q. Cole, after qualifying and
having read to him the same question,
also testified that a man to have the
internal organs punctured in the man
ner described would be In a position
leaning forward and to the left.
Unman Skeleton In Court.
'Have you a skeleton, doctor, to
Illustrate with?" asked Judge Fee.
I have," replied the witness. A large
green bag was then produced and a
human skeleton brought forth from
its folds.
The bleached bones were then sus'
pended by the head with a string from
the chandelier immediately in front of
the Jury. Dr. Cole Indicated the place
where the bullet entered, lis course,
the vertebra struck and approximately
where it lodged.
At 3:15 Dr. Cole was on the stand
with his examination practically com
pleted.

Osteopathy.
Treats All Discuses.
What diseases can be successfully
treated by osteopathy?
Let the reader remember that every
part of the body gets Its nutrition from
the dr-ulatlng fluids, and the action
of each part Is controlled by the
nerves. He will at once see that os
teopathy, which deals with nerve and
blood supply as a specialty, Is appli
cable to all diseases. But no honest
osteopath will claim that all cases
can be cured. There are very few
diseases that cannot reach a stage be
yond which cure 1b poslsble. On the
other hand, there are very few dis
eases that taken In reasonable time
cannot be cured. The osteopath en
deavors to find and remove the first
cause or causes of the disease. With
this done the cure depends upon the
recuperative powers of the body. If
the diseased parts be not too far
destroyed or weakened the body again
builds them up and restores their
healthy action. A stomach wall com
pletely scarred from ulcers, a kidney
wasted and gone, a heart enlarged
and thickened nothing can cure. The
most that can be promised Is to
check and ease the condition. But In
the early stages of disease processes,
the causes removed, nature quickly
restores the organs and parts to
health and strength. This Is the way
osteopathy makes Its cures.
