From tn quity standpoint, the Heruilston rep-l resentatives claimed that the cutting! off of the two sections, assessed at' 118,910, would be unjust inasmuch a there Is a 3u,UU(.i bonded Indebted- . ness against the district Moreover, they contended, the majority af prop arty owners in the two sections pre fer to rema n In the Hermlston .11"-1 trlct because It Is closer.

What has the Round-Up meant tn the merchants of Pendleton is a ques tion which has oftimes been asked. In terms of money, the value cannoi be estimated exactly, but the mer chants know from their Increased business that the Round-Up has had no small share in contribut ing to their net profits. One phase of business developed here since the fame of the great frontier exhibition has spread un'il It reaches the four corners of the United Slates has been the mail order business. The business referred to is the highly colored cowboy and cow girl shirts, bandanos. and the famous Round-tJp hat. During the past year Charles Bond of Bond Brothers, says his firm h.-U received many orders from the fron tier exhibitions at Los Angeles and Salt Lake and from many of the cir cuses which have added wild west features to the big tent show.

Casement wore his own clothes instead of the prison garb. He helped the execu tioner adjust the noose, and pinion his limbs. He exclaimed: "Lord have mercy on my soul." The cor oner's inquest returned a verdict of "death by hanging." Prison Gover nor Davis testified that death was instantaneous. Barber Ellis sprang the drop. A hempen dope was used despite Case ment's appeals for a silken cord. Sev eral Irish women In the rear of the Jail attempted a demonstration. The guards hustled them away.
