PENDLETON HAT LOSE POSTAL SAVING BANK lEPOSITS BARELY REACH mx HUNDRED DOLLARS Small Depositors Fail to Take Advan tage of Opportunities Offeretl and Institution's Discontinuance Is Pre dieted by Official. Unless the Fendleton postal savings bank makes a stronger showing than it has thus far there i dasnger the institution may be discontinued in th's city. At this time the deposits amount to the mammoth sum of $511 and there is no sign of any Immediate increase. At no time has there been more than 1600 on deposit, according to Harry Re', assistant postmaster. That the postal bank in this city is not filling any very pressing need Is 'indicated by the manner in which it has been used thus far. There are three children now keeping deposits at the bank while most of the other depositors are adult Americans. Very few foreigners take advantage of the postal bank. One Greek had a de posit but he took the same with him when he left the city. According to Mr. Rees, the postal bank could secure more deposits if the rules permitted the receiving of deposits from parties living out of town. However, one who gets his mail elsewhere than in Pendleton cannot make a deposit. Deposits must be limited to J100 per month and no depositor may keep over $500 on deposit at any one time. Already one postal savings bank has been closed in Oregon and if the local institution doss not make a stronger showing soon it is possible nn order may be isued for it discon-t'nuance. HAS PARDOX FOR OLD CRIME. Veteran's Simple Confession Causes Stir in Court. Lor Angeles, Cal. A dramat'c scene of a man fighting for his reputation ensued in Judsre Willis' court when John W. Meek, a civil war veteran, was r.sked if he had ever ben con victed of a felony. He admitted that he had. but exhibited the pardon of the governor of Arkansas, issued a short time after he was sent to pris on. The story which he told harked hack to the days of the rebellion and of hot blood aroused hy the abuse of Meek's parents on account of his choice of sides In the conflict. The scene in court was staged in the trial of Chris Conley on a charge of having stolen $1 from the person of Meek. When it came to his cross examination the emharrastsng ques tion was put. Meek answered it bravely in the afirmative. He was then permitted to offer an explana tion. He said that he fought in the con federate army. When he returned to his little home town in Arkansas he learned that several bullies had made life miserable for his aged fath er. His fighting blood was aroused and he shot and killed one of the tor menters. He was tried on a charge of mur der and a jury found that he was warranted in taking life. "I left the state." he said. "Four teen years later a new prosecutor went into office. To make a reputa tion he had me brought back. I was tried and found guilty of manslaugh ter.

Twenty-five years ago, when Hayes had a grocery in Moberly, Mo., Clay ton Lemon ran up a bill of $20 at the store and suddenly left town without announcing his destination.

One day, in talking about the days of their youth, this friend and Lem on discovered that they had a com mon friend in Hayes.
