home yesterday, arriving here on
train No. 1. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Kills, who was with him In

Since his return, Congressman El
lis has been a busy -man, Bhaklng
hands with friends, receiving con
gratulations upon his election and
talking over matters pertaining to af-J
fairs In Washington.
. Tlie Federal Building. j
From a Pendleton standpoint the
chief work done by the second dis
trict's representative was the secur- f
lng of the $70,000 appropriation for j
the federal building. For this favor (
the people of the city have felt kind-;
ly towards Congressman Ellis and the
judge himself Is glad that the build-!
lng Is to be forthcoming. Since his
arrival he has Inquired regarding the
various sites submitted to the govern
ment and said:
"I hope that there will be no dif
ficulty over the selection of a site
and that those offering their prop
erty to the government have quoted
reasonable prices so there will be no
hold-up. Should the department be
unable to accept any location the
money for the building will simply be
retained where it is and Pendleton
will be the loser."
Work During Summer.
During the coming summer Judge
Ellis will devote" much of his time to
preparing himself for the session next iron anj gt,
winter. Practically all of the pre- A baggaeman, name unknown, is nl

An effort Is to be made to secure
a larger appropriation for Celllo ca-

Furthermore, Jude Ellis is anxious
to iifslst his colleague. Congressman

IS WORK OF CRIMINAL.

Nearly Annihilated Windows Shat
tered in Vicinity -Former Supervi
sor James Gallagher Interested in
l"roMTty Dcttiroyed Other Iroicr
ty Owned by Him Dynamited.
San Fanclsco, Cal., June 29. Four
were killed and many Injured In a dy
namite explosion destroying a grocery'
store with upper 'flats, an adjoining
saloon building, at Cheney and Dia
mond streets, at 2:15 this morning.
The dead are John Sweeney, a gro
cer, his wife, Ella Sweeney, a daugh
ter nged 9 years, baby daughter of B.
S. Dlssemeyer, a year old. All lived
over the store.
The windows were shattered ln:the
whole vicinity.
The pollre believe the expllon
was the work of criminals. It is
thought that former Supervisor James
Gallagher, whose property in other
instances has been destroyed by uni
dentified persons, was Interested in the
tulldlng.
The I '-year-old son of Sweeney was
blown through a window, and 50 feet
Into the yard. He was severely In
jured. 1
The fronts of the grocery and sa
loon buildings were blown out.
A fire quickly followed the explo
sion and the wrecks were partly con
sumed before the firemen arrived.
All the Injured and dead were taken
out.
There is little doubt that the ex
plosion was the work of the dyna
miters who twice blew up property
belonging to Gallagher, who turned
states evidence in the graft prosecu
tion. The property blown up this
morning was leased by Antone Diss-mej-er
to T. J. Gallagher, brother of
the former supervisor.
District attorney Langdon today
requested Chief Blggey to put the
whole detective force at work on the
latest dynamiting outrage.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
said: "This Is the most dastardly
outrage yet perpetrated by the agents
of graft."
The police say the explosion was
caused by gasoline and kerosene In
the grocery.
