A del Pofforle, ex-mcmber of the
Roslon Rloomcrs, ex-mascot of the
Pendleton hose team, and an Imitator
of men In many other lines, is some
thing of a pugilist also and yesterday
demonstrated her fistic ability much
to the chagrin of Louis King, popular
night clerk ut the. Rowman hotel.
With a few right swings and Khort
iirm Jabs she resented her aspersion
cast upon her name when the el'Tk
called her to ta: k for creating a dis
turbance in the hotel, and uk a" result
she has been obliged to leave the
city.
The unique encounter occurred
yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock.
King, who sleeps In tne day time, had
had his peaceful slumbers disturbed
by boisterous laughing, which he de
clares camu from the room occupied
by Miss Pefferle. Upon arising he
called her to task and warned her
not to repeat such conduct. Ho then
came down staiiM and was standing
In the lobby when tho masculine fe
male approached him with a denial
of lh charges made aguinst her.
'There' With Her Duknt."
Sharp words ensued, King repeal
ing his accusations and the lady em
phatically denying that she had made
any noise in her room. Finally the
clerk accused her of being drunk and
her answer was .swift and forceful.
Her right arm shot out und her fist
taught the unsuspecting man on the
temple, knocking his glasses off and
leaving him more surprised than In
jured. "Was I drunk?" sho demanded.
"Yes, you were." came the prompt
reply and out shot the avenging arm '
again.
"Was I drunk?" again she cried and
again came the answer, "You were." '

disarranged in her violence, helped
in the general ferocity of her appear
ance. Striking with a full armed
swing she forced the clerk to retreat,
step by step. "You can't say that
to my face." she kept repenting and
every word was accompanied by a
blow of damaging intent,
Tho clerk made no effort to strike
bark, his natural courtesy towards
women probably restraining him, but
io defend himself tried to seize and
hold her arm, but the woman's
strength was not at all feminine and
ibis task was anything but easy. Fi
nally Day Clerk Smith came to his
assistance and her attack was stop
ped. She was then notified to leave
tho house, but as she showed no In
clination to comply with the order.
Officer Kearney was notified and she
pnrked her grips and took No. 17 to
Tho Dalles.
Has Checkered Career.
Adel Pcrferle has been In Pendle
ton since the Roundup but this was
not her first visit to this city. Away
back in 1S!7 she ratnc here as mascot
for the famed Pendleton hose team.
She was a liakcr Cltv girl and. when
tho local cart pullers attended the'
tournament In that city, she won their!
admiration by striking a man who
made a Jeering remark about the j
Pendleton team. Sho was only 15
then but she wns Immediately adopt-
cd by the team as mascot and came'

Pocatollo, Ida , Oct. 6. Declara
tions that the rulings of the Unitei'.
States supreme court on earth are
parallel to the ruling of a Just God
In heaven, were ma'e here today by
President Taft, in an impassioned de
fense of the court, which Is gener
ally regarded as having been Inspir
ed by William J. Rryan's attack In the.
Commoner. Mr. ISryan was :,ot men
tioned by Mr. Taft, however.
Speaking oarno tly. he said that
columns have been printed condemn
ing the court, but that no specific in
stances of wrong doing have over
been mentioned.
He then declared that the time had
come for court's enemies to deal ill
facts, saying:
"When a court Is doing Its duty
and trying to teach the law as it
should be, to have It condemned, at
tacked and Its motives questioned, for
mere politicul purposes, without solid
ground, such an attack goes to my
heart and I resent it with deep Indig
nation."
The president continued: "What
has distinguished this country from
any other is the I'nited States su-
pueine court at Washington, that has
so often stood between us and errors
which might have been committed
and which would have been greatly
Injurious to the country
"To turn upon that court, to ques
thin Its motives, to attack It, is. to me.
to lay the axe.to the root of the tree
of civilization."
He concluded by declaring that the
muckrakers' attack- should be disre
garded and more trust put in public
officials. He made two stops today,
one of two hours here and one at
Roise.
It Is generally believed that Mr.
Taft will discus-" "International
Peace" during his const trip, in an ef
fort to make that the cdminlstifition's
big policy, following the defeat of
reciprocity with Canalu. He be
lieves that this polity win be popu
larized by prcsistent rtoration and by
explaining it.

Tile only objectionable part of the
structure is the lack of proper ap

city authorities about conneciing the

STATK
Salem, Ore., Oct. 6. The state's
brief, in the case of Oregon versus
the Pacific States Telephone com
pany, which will be filed with the
I'nited States supreme court, answer
ing one filed by the company which
alleged that tho initiative and refer
endum law Is a violation of the feder
al constitution, Is in tho hands of
the state printer today. It contains
30.000 words and was written by the
attorney general. It denies that the
law Is "unrepublican und govern.)
laws by brute force." as the company
nllegod. and declared it checks cor
rupt legislation and give an opportu
nity for the people to enact measures
denied by a legislature.
That the imitation of the Hound
I'p held in connection with the Spo
kane Interstate Fair under tho name
of Pioneer Palotise D 'ys is tame and
far from being in the class of the lo
cal show is the opinion of Mr. and
Mrs. James A. Cooper, who returned
this morning from an attendance of
several days at that fair. They stat
ed that -Oie Kound-Vp characters,
Buffalo Vernon and Jason Stanley,
are the Idg features of the show and
that, aside from their performance,
the frontier program is devoid of
much interest. A wild horse race is
attempted each day. they say, with
tho same five horses used throughout.
While in Spokane they were greatly
amused by the declaration of natives
that the wild west show there was
practically the same as the one given
at the Hound-Vp. The show is held
at night under artificial lights which
deprives the show of natural setting.
Brook's Comet, said by astrono
mers to be a newly discovered celes
tial wanderer deriving its name from
its discoverer who located it early in
July of the present year is visible to
Pendletonians and has created some
local interest.
The comet was located Thursday
evening by local people and is visible
to the naked eye, while with the aid
of a oair of ordinary opera glasses,
j or better still a good pair of field
, glasses, a good view may be had of
I the firey body.
; To locate the phenomenon on a
' clear night is easy by using the fol
I lowing directions:
Locate the "Pig Dipper" in the
I northern sky. Follow the handle of
! the-"dipper" from the double star,
j "Mizar" at w hich point the dipper j
ibnndle crooks westward to tho last
star of the "dipper handle. " Then!
fellow a line, to the riaht or toward!
i the north-west horizon, a distance of
probably five degrees, where tho coin
' et appears a.s a hairy star of the
fourth or fifth magnitude.
The searcher should look for the
comet with the first actual shades of
night between 6:30 and 7 o'clock in
the evening, us the early moon will
shortly alter offset its brilliancy and
it sinks below the horizon about 9
o'clock.

At an enthusiastic 'gathering held
last evening the Progressive Non-Partisan
Municipal League was formed
with its chief object the submission

Want Iow Salaries.
Though tho charter to be submitted
tho peoplo in December has not been
completed as yet it is the genral senti-
nient ntnong members of the league
that it should call for low salaries.
The concensus of opinion is for a sal-i friends
ary of $1200 per annual for the mayor says h
and for J'.'OO per annum for each ot mission

In behalf of such salaries It is urged
that It will not bo necessary for any
of tho officials to devote all their
time to their duties and that they w ill
be able to manage their private work
or business along with the public du
ties. Advices received from TSaker have
had something to do with tho creation
of sentiment for the salaries named
above. In Raker the officials aro paid
much larger salaries and the fact ha
