Prosecution Will Follow Alleged
Stealing of Water From Gravity
System by Harvester.
J, D, ROSE FACING ARREST
City Water ymmlHk will Fllo In
formation Against RcNervation Far
mer and Inutile Attorney Will
IYcu-e Complaint at Once Will
lie Filed Maybe Today.
Because he Is alleged to have stol
en water from the pipe line of the
Pendleton gravity water system. J.
I D. Roue, who operates a harvester on
ln reservation, win te arestcd and
the
against him and has Instructed Dis
trict Attorney Frederick Stelwer to
prepare the complaint at once. The
complaint will be filed this afternoon
or within the next day or two, In all
probability.
Rose Is alleged to have broken the
lock from the lid of the manhole
which Is located on the Sam Hlttner
ranch five miles above the city He
was running a harvester on that
place st the lime and the supposition
is that he opened the manhole to
take water for his tanks.
Supt. F. M. Hayes discovered the
offenne about two weeks ago when
he whs making a trip up the pipe
line. He found the broken lock near
th manhole and another common
l-,0(.it substituted for It. Appearances
indicated that someone had been us
ing the .manhole s a source of sup
ply for several days.
The water commission Is very
much aroused over the matter and
declares the charges will be pushed
to the limit The loss of the water
does not amount to anything but the
opening of the manhole creates a
source of danger from contamination.
"The city has too much money In
vested In its water system to permit
of such tampering." declared Chair
man J. T. Brown this morning.
District Attorney Stelwer states
that the offender may be prosecuted
under several statutes. He may be
charged with larceny. Inasmuch as
the water In the pipeline has become)
the property of the city or he may be
charged with malicious destruction
of personal property. It Is probable
that the latter charge will be filed
against him.

The management and maintenance
of the public natatorlum was last ev

Commercial club committee, which
has had charge during construction,
to th city council.
The comlmttee waited upon the
council at the regular meeting and
asked to be relieved of the manage
ment but declaring a willingness to
continue In the work of collecting un
paid subscriptions and closing up
the financial part of the construction
work. The council somewhat reluct
antly took 'over the pool, several ol
the members stating that they would
prefer to have the Commercial club
committee continue to act.
Messrs. C. M. Bishop and O. A
Hartman. members of the committee,
made a report to the council on tho
stains of the pool. They stated that
if all of the subscriptions which had
been signed

GERMANS CAPTURE
WARSAW IS CLAIM
. OF BERLIN OFFICE
LAST DEFENSES ARE SHELLED
Germans Hurl Attacks Against Slavs in Final
Effort to Take Warsaw-Petrograd Does Not
Believe That Polish Capital Has Yet Yielded
Declared the Garrison Can Hold off Teutonic
Assaults for Indefinite Period.
BERLIN, Aug. 5. Warsaw has fallen.
An official statement from the war office announced the Ger
mans have entered the Polish capital. The Russian garrison, it
was announced, retired over the three bridges spanning the
Vistula to the eastern suburb of Praga after offering a brief re
sistance to the Teutonic forces. Bavarian troops under Prince
Leopold stormed the last line of defenses and entered the city
over the Kolish and Radom roads.
From Praga the Russian center is retiring along the railway
leading to Novo Minsh and over the plain of the Northern
railway, keeping in touch with the right wing near Novo Geor
gievsk. German forces are pursuing the retreating Slavs and
have captured many stragglers. In Berlin extra editions an
nounced the fall pf the city, bells were tolled and the capital is
rejoicing.
The official statement of the war office gave no details of
the final engagements at the gates of Warsaw, or of the greater
battle on the wings in which the Germans sought to envelope
the Slav forces. That the struggle. before the last defenses of
the city was short and fierce was evident by the fact Prince
Leopold arrived before the outer works of Warsaw only a day
and a half ago. The Russians were holding the line running
through Blonie, 30 miles from the city. With the opening of
the Bavarian assault, they fell back to the last lines in front of
the city and finally were driven out entirely.
It is believed the greater part of the Russian garrison which
remained in Warsaw to:the last was captured. No specific
mention was made of the success of the pursuit of the remain
der who escaped and it is supposed the Slavs either destroyed
the Vistula bridges or attempted to destroy them after with
drawing in order to impede the pursuit of the Teutons. The
first Germans entered the city last night.
