ing Friday evening:
The Journal Carriers' band will play
Its first engagement In eastern Ore
gon next week. Sunday morning at 8
the organization will leave In a rpe
clal car for Pendleton, going over the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation com
pany's line. The eastern Oregon fair
and Roundup will be the attraction at
Pendleton, opening Monday and con
tinuing throughout the week.
In competition with seven or eight
other bands the Journal Carriers'
band won the Pendleton engagement
because of its excellence as a musical
organization and because It is an all-
Oregon band. News of the splendid
success achieved at the Alaska-Yukon
Pacific exposition, at the Wil
lamette Valley Chautauqua and at
the Oregon state fair, had no little in
fluence In bringing the directors of
the Pendleton fair to the conclusion
that the star attraction of the big ex
position would be the Journal band.
A concert every afternoon wfll be
the feature of the fair for the coun
try people, who come from distances
of 26 and 10 miles in many instances,
to get evidence of the splendid pro
gress of Umatilla and Morrow coun
ties. The city folk will be favored
with a concert every evening during
the fair.

Failure to Pay Small Debt Results In
ExKe of Crime Ben Gordon Tell
Police that Doctor James Grant
Assisted by Man Named Sanctis Per
formed Operation on Girl Which
Resulted In Death on Uie Table
Routed House and Buried Her.
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 24. To
prove that the acid eaten, mutilated
body found In a shallow grave by de
tectives under the cement basement
ot a little house on Eureka street Is
that of Eva Swan, the Paso Robles
school teacher who disappeared on
June 2, was the task thei police ap
plied themselves today. Friends were
aked to come to the coroner's office
to examine the body, the acid-burned
clothing and blankets in which
the body was wrapped.
The discovery was made after Ben
Gordon told the police that Dr. James
Grant assisted by Willis Saachs had
performed an operation In June, that
the girl had died on the table, and
that the physician and Saachs, who
has since disappeared, cut the body
up, stuffed it In a trunk, rented a
house, and buried the body. Gordon
says Saachs told him of the affair
and he told the police because Grant
refused to pay him a debt of SIS.
Grant is under arrest pending an ln
vi stlgatlon.
Miss Swan came from Paso Robles
In December and secured a position
as a stenographer. Suddenly she
dropped from sight leaving all her
brlongings and all Bearch since then
has been fruitless until Gordon told
his tale.
During the five months that the
girl has been missing several at
tempts have been made to find her.
The day she left her boarding house
for the last time a young man called
several times to see her and finally
Ifft a letter for her. The girl had
dropped out of sight completely, leav
ing all her belongings in her room.
Two months ago a family named
Craughtoa moved into the Eureka
street house. They found an old
trunk there with red stains on It. The
trunk smelted badly and the health
department was notified. The city
chemist examined the trung and re
ported that the stains were made by
paint.
Shortly after the family moved
away and nothing more was thought
of this natter.

MOVING PICTURE
MEX OX THE WAY.
Mark Moorhouse received a
message this afternoon from the
Tournament Film company,
stating that two expert photo-
graphers would leave Chicago
tomorrow night for Pendleton.
This will give them plenty of
time to get their machines set

fore the Roundup begins.
At last night's meeting of the
Round-up committee It was decided
to provide 1,000 additional bleecher
seats. This will make seating accom
modations for 4,000 people and there
will be plenty of room for those who
prefer to stand up Just outside the
track. Space is also being provided
for those who wish to view proceed
ings on horseback.
With these arrangements now made
If Is evident that from nve to ten
thousand spectators can view the en

Julin Cigler, Stratton, Colo., head
and foot cut.
D. Duges. no address, side cut.
A. H. Avlns, Blue Rapids, Kas., left
leg broken.
Mrs. Anna Smith, Colorado Springs,
Colo., hand and wrist cut.
Henry Ahiers, Meata, Mo., slightly.
Hlen Benton, Colorado Springs,
Colo., slightly.
Most of the dead and Injured were
In the smoker and one of the day
coaches.
The wreck was the result of a cloud
burst, which carried out a large fill,
turning the draw Into a torrent many
yards wide and 20 feet deep, and
washing out nearly 1,000 feet of track
In the .vicinity of the wreck.
Passengers In the Pullman and oth.
er day coaches, hurled from their
berths and chairs by the shock, hur
ried out into the storm and rendered
what aid they could to the injured
and In extricating the mangled bodies
of the dead. Others hurried to Clay
tt n, where news of the accident was
wired to division headquarters, and
within half an hour physicians and
nurses and a wreck train was being
hurried to the scene from Norton,
Colby, Goodland and Phllllpsburg.
It was not until late In the afternoon,
however that the last body was re
covered from the wreck.
Members of the Topeka baseba-ll
to be used In the men's and women's
relay races. This action was decided
upon after much discussion, it fin
ally being agreed that the quicker the
change of saddles the more spectacu
lar will be the races.
From present indications there will
be five or six strings of relay horses
in the relay races, making It assur
ed that this department of the big
northwest show will be one of the
w inning features. In every race meet
of any kind the relay races always
attract more attention than the others
and with a large number of local
people entered ' In the contest. It Is
safe to say that the Round-up relay
races will be second only to the Wild
Horse race and bronco busting.
Another bronco buster was given a
tumble at the Round-up grounds last
night and from present Indications
the outlaw horses which Sheriff Tay
lor Is rounding up for the occasion
are having as much fun out of the
try-outs as are the riders who are
nnxlous to get all the practice they
can before the big event comes off.
Lee Caldwell won the plaudits of the
small crowd present yesterday after
noon by riding the horse which threw
him Wednesday evening.
Several new horse came In last
evening and this morning and still
more are due to arrive this evening
and tomorrow.
1
team of the Western league, on their
way to Denver, escaped without In
Jury. The train was proceeding on a
straight stretch of track. Evidently
the first Intimation that the engineer
had of any danger came when he
realized that the forward portion of
the train was running In water which
had spread out over the tracks near
the fill. Reversing his engine, the
speed of the train was checked, but
not enough to prevent the engine,
bags-age car and smoker going over
Into the depre.ss'.on.
The rear end of the smoker re
mained tilted on the, earth bank and
the chair car ripped Its way Into the
smoker, smashing it to pieces and
killing and injuring many of the pas
sengers. As near as can be learned here all
of the passengers killed were occu
pants of the smoker.
It Is certain that Engineer Richen
bnugh could have Jumped end saved
himself, but he remained at his post
ai'd did everything possible to pre
vent the train running Into the ditch.
The three Pullmans remained on
the track and the occupants of these
cars were unhurt. The dead and In
jured were taken to Norton, Kas.
None of the Injured are In serious
condition. The washout was repair
ed late last evening and traffic resumed.

T VOTE IS
BEING POLLED
Though Idea! Weather Pre
vails Voters Are Not Turn
ing Out Very Well.
SOME PREVENTED FROM
VOTING BY DELAY
Indications ore That Light Vote WIB
lie Cut at Primaries In This Coun
ty Farmers are Not Coming 1
Failue of Election Clerk Ap
pear Delays Opening of Polls at
Court House Light Vote in West
End Also. i
More Ideal election weather could
not have been had if made to order
than is prevailing throughout east
ern Oregon today. Notwithstanding
this fact several things are combin
ing to produce a light vote In Urns
tlMa county. From indications at
time of going to press the vote la hJ
county would be heavy but many
farmers who are busy with their fall
work absolutely refuse to lay off Ion
enough to go to the polls with the
result that the vote in the soaatrr
precincts will probably be light. Then
in the east end of the county, many
residents took this day to go to the
Walla Walla fair and it is believed
that most of them went over before
the polls opened at 12 o'cloek.
Owing to the failure of the poll
for the Pendleton precinct to open
at the appointed time, several rail
road men were denied the privilege of
voting at all. The delay was doe to
the failure of the election officials te
show up. One of them, Clarence
Penland, qualified and then failed to
appear, which action makes htm li
able to a fine of $50. Aside from
those who were thus shut out of a
chance to vote at all, many were In
convenienced to a greater or lesa ex
tent, since the noon hour was the
most convenient time for them to
cast their ballots. For more than as
hour after the polls were opened the
crowd was so large that the voters
I were compelled to line up and take
ir.eir turns.
The voting is also heavy in the
other precincts. AH the Interest,
however, is in the republican pri
mary as up to 2 o'clock but one dea
ocrat had voted In Pendleton pre
cinct. The one member of the nn
tcrrified" band was Sheriff T. D. Tay
lor who Is again to be nominated and
elected without opposition.
The day is being observed as a holl.
I day though the offices of sheriff and
clerk are being kept open at the court
house and most other offices through
out the city are doing business as
usual. The near beer saloons were
allowed to remain open. District At
torney Phelps having ruled that if
they are allowed to keep open at all
they are allowed to keep open on el
ection day.
Reports from precincts outside ot
Pendleton Indicate that a light vote
is to be polled unless the farmers de
cide late in the afternoon to come In.
Hermlston reports an especially light
vote with but very few voters coming
in. L. L. Mann and J. T. Hlnkle are
thought to be the favorites there !
the race for representative.
Apparently no effort Is being mad
In Pendleton to ascertain how the
vote Is going and It is probable that
ah effort along this line would ba la
vain.
Light Vote Over State.
Portland, Sept. 24. It is predicted
the primary vote today will be light
owing to the fact that the polls open
at noon and close at seven. Politici
ans declare the political aspect Is un
changed since yesterday, and that the
assembly will nominate the governor,
secretary of state, treasurer and di
vide the state legislature with the In
surgents. The direct primary pro
ponents will not concede either the
election of Congressmen Ellis or Haw
ley, standpatters, despite the fact that
the Insurgents have several candidates
In the field for the same offices and
will likely split the vote. " The prin
cipal fight will be In Multnomah
county where practically a third of the
voters are registered. Insurgency
there Is rampant and It Is predicted
they will capture the county.
