If Attorney Douglas W. Bailey, who

Recently Picard rnd hU wlfp be
came Involved in a divorce su t, and
Col. J. II. Hab-y was retained as coun
sel by the wll'o, and W. M. Peterson
by the husband. In trying to arrange
a property settlement, there attorneys
discovered n warranty deed convey
ing tho S 1-2 of tho SE 1-4 of section
15. twp. 3, NK 34, E W M. from
Julian Plcard to Douglas W. Bailey.
It was executed December 12. 1908,
acknowledged on the same date be
fore J. B. Berry and witnessed by
Thomas Bcrgrvin ana J. T. Rain
ville. The existence of Tills deed was un
known to the attorneys nnd they
ought an explanation from Picard,
who refused to believe ne had signed
such a document as grantor until it
was read to him from page 616 of
book 65 of tho record of deeds. Ills
wrath then knew no bounds and he
rushed to the office of Attorney Bail
ey with the intention of administering
a beating to tho lawyer, but tho lat
ter, he says solr.cd an Iron bar and
drove him out of tho office.
I refuses to (ilvo Land Back.
Attorney Peterson then encountered
Bailey on the street, according to the
former's statement, and advised him
that a suit would be instituted In the
United States court to set aside the
deed if ho refused to transfer the
land back to ricard. This Bailey re
fused to do unless ricard pay him
tho Rtim of J27.50, which amount
he alleged the allotteo owed him for
a loan of $20, 10 interest, $1.25 re-,
cord.ng foes nnd $.50 notary public
fees. When asked why he had se
cured Plcard's signature to tho deed,
he declared ho wanted It as security
for his loan of $20, but when remind
ed that It Is customary to take a
mortgage in such transactions and
that It was hardly Just to secure a
deed to $8000 worth of land for a
small loan, he curtly Drought the con
versation to a closo by remarking that
that was "his business."
Becnuse hjs time is pretty well tnk
cn with the present term of court.
Attorney Peterson has turned the
matter over to Attorney Homer Watts
of Athena and tho latter declared to
day lie would immediately start pro
ceedings to set aside the deed?

ter commission said: "Please

ning about two feet wide and six inch
es deep," say Councilman Strain "We
all' agreed It was fen from being
enough to supply the needs of the city
at this time. We also visited the Shap"

water there, it appeared to aU of us
that the supply from the two places
would be insufficient to meet the
reeds of the city."

death last night in the run-a-round,
about 'Murderer's Row" by Jake
Oppenheimer, another condemned
prisoner who Is the most famous con
vict In Californtaand who was known
as "The Wolf," owing to his vicious
nature.
The men fought a duel, that was
the outcome of a long standing feud
between them. The turnkey had un
locked the doors, to allow- them to ex
ercise and to ventilate their cells.
Hardly had QuIJada stepped from
his cell when he hurled a challenge
at Oppenheimer for a fight end be
fore he could well defend himself. th
latter leaped upon him and stabbed
him to death with a sharp pointed
steel rod, only a few Inches in length,
which he had in some manner secur
ed and concealed in. his clothing.
Prison authorities claim that they
have no knowledge how Oppenheimer
secured the steel rod. He afterward
stated that he had sharpened the in
strument by patiently grinding it
against the Fteel bars of his cell.
Oppenheimer states thc.t he is non
ready to die, that he has killed his
enemy. He started his carter of
crime, while employed as n messenger
bey on the streets of San Fianclo.
He has killed two other prisoners in
the penitentiary and -dins taken
prominent pans in numerous plots
against nnd attacks on the prison
guards.

ciprocity campaign ends tonight and
tomorrow the voters of Canada will
definitely decide whether Canada and
tho United State will enter into a

reciprocity bring defeated. Tho only
bets obtainable today arc that the
majority of the IJberal party will bo
slightly reduced, which the liberals
deny.
The election will be held in 214 out
of tho 221 oonstituancles. Three lib
erals have already been re-elected by
acclamation, their strength being such
that the conservatives refused to put
up men to make the race against
them.
Among the liberals thus re-elected,
Is Premier Laurier, in East Quebec.
Four elections have been deferred,
owing to trouble and delay in getting
the voters' list into tho remote sec

pardon Webb by reading Stanton's
poem, "They Are Hanging Bill Jones,'
The truth is Webb's wife and daught
er kept on my trail until I felt like
a dog. But I've felt right ever since,
and that shows I did tho right thing.
When I saw those women in my of

LINER RAMMED BY
CRUISER AT SEA
Olympic, World's Largest
Ship Narrowly Escapes
Being Swamped
London, Sept. 20. With every berth
filled and leaving the English port, of
.South Hampton for New York today,
the Star liner Olympic which is the
largest steamship ever constructed,
was rammed by the British cruiser
Hawks today and only the immediate
action of the captain in heading the
crippled human laden raft toward
shore and beaching her, prevented
what might easily have been the
worst marine catastrophe in the his
tory of modern sailing.
The crippled vessel was later towed
to the dry docks at South Hampton.
The Hawks was also badly damaged
and it was found necessary to remove
her to the dry docks at Portsmouth.
Among the passengers on the Olym.
pic were William Astor, the American
multi-millionaire, President Brown of
the New York Central Hallway com
pany, Clarence Mackay, telegraph
magnate.
The warship's steel prow struck the
Olympic squarely on the star-board
quarter. The cargo hoi is of the liner
were quickly flooded.
As soon as the cruiser had rammed
the liner, the engines were reversed,
and the warship succeeded in back
ing away. The Olympic's steel bulk
heads automatically closed, stopping
the inrush of wet'-r, which threatened
to swamp the liner and which badly
damaged tho cargo.
Life-boats were e;uicl:'y manned and
while the passengers were badly
frightened, they rrgT.im.1 their com
posure and dispelled tli.ir fears with
the assurance from the ship's officers
that there was ne danger of the ves
sel sinking.
-The ill-fated liner was Just starting
on her fifth trip across the Atlantic
ocean when the accident occured.

Portugese Republican Govern

ment located the henclquarters of the
conspirators at Irrano Castello and
confiscated a large quantity of docu
ments of the greatest Importance to
the republic and which reveal the deep
la'.d plots of the royalists.
These documents implicate a large
number of personal friends and sup
porters of the deposed King Manuel,
against whom the republicans rebell
ed and overthrew when his infatua
tion for the actress, Gaby Des;lis, led
him to many indiscretions.
Officials high in the government
charge that King Manuel is encourag
ing the royalists from his haven in
England and, as .t was agreed he
would be allowed to sojourn In Eng
land provided he attempted to fer
ment no trouble, it is thought likely
that he will be given a hint by the
British government to find refuge else
where. Act on Strike Sexin.

five thousand revolutionists are now

of taking charge of the city and mak
ing it the headquarters of the revolu

troops are being hurried to the scene
of the reported troubl.:. The rebels
have cut the telegraph and telephone
wires and the reports from the tur
bulent sections are very meagre.
King Alfonso is personally in charge
of the work of directing the affairs of
the forces that are trying to eiueil the
disturbances before they reach a more
serious stage. The young monarch
s fully convinced now that his throne
is in danger of being snatched from
under him.

HOW BOOST THE
(IJIRGM CLUB
Now that the Round-Up is over, and
that the c.ty of Pendleton is coming
into its normal condition again, it Is
time for us to consider the various
large questions that confront us. Pen
dleton has some very important
things to consider and settle, that are
far-rt aching .n their import to the
cloy. Ot is nece-sary that every citi
zen of this city become an active par
ticipant in the affairs of the city.
It is a matter of civ;c Import that the
collective i itiznship feel the respon
sibility of t ie suffrage.
X'o great enterprise can be success
fully and expeditiously consumated
without good organization. It is the -essential
element in all filds of activ
ity. It is team work that carries away
the rrize. Tho great team of Pendle
ton is and should rightly be the Com
mercial elub. Every male citizen of
Pendleton should be an active mem
ber of that organization; there is no
excuse for his not being so It should
be his first club, one in which as aa
American citizen he should consider
i his duty and privilege to participate.
The Commercial club Is not a body
of merely business men or taxpayers;
it is the general club of all the cit.zens
of Pendleton. In it are cvscufsed from
time to time the things that concern
all the people of the city, p.s field la
tho largest in the city, and extends
through the county and state. Every
professional man. every man in the
city who is actively interested in the
duties of good citizenship owes it to
himself to send in his application at
on ae. All honest citizens are cordial
ly and earnestly invited to Join at
once.
Pendleton has proved Itself splen
didly during the recent "Round-Up."
and should perpetuate the same spir
