NOT PRESS CHARGE REJECTS OFFER OF RECOGNITION There will be no band concert Thursday evening, Q. O Itreach. di rector, announced this" morning. Neither will there be any more con certs tinder his leadership until the promised pay for Ihe hand members and leader Is forthcoming, he said, Th concerts thus far have been play ed without any - compensation, the leader declared, but hereafter the city will have no music without making good the promise of pay. "I am sick and tired of working for thn people of Pendleton for nothing. la the way Mr. Hrearh expressed his feelings about the band concert sit uation. "The Pendleton Commercial AniJoclatlnn. at Its April meeting, de. elded that It would support band con certs for the summer, appointed a committee and Informed them to so licit enough to pay the band $300 a month for the summer season. Not one cent of that money has ever been subscribed nnr has there been any ef ford to raise It. We cannot afford to give two evenings a week and turn out for ("pecinl occasions without tiny compensation and I'll not do It," Mr. Breach declared. The band will get Its money and get I: very soon, R. E. Chloupek, chair, man of tho soliciting committee, told the East Oregonlan today when told of the band's troubles The money: will he raised In a few days as there are already lists prepared. Kvents over which the committee had no con trol caused the long delay In raining the pledges, Mr. Chloupek said. WE WEATHER FORECAST Tonight and Thursday falrj light frost to. night. Belief thut the father will relent and drop the prosecution of his un- welceme son-ln-luw, John C. Zoller. Is held here In the case of Frank Thurston, North Fork rancher, whose young duughter, Katy. ten days ago eloped and was married to poller. The case now rests In the hands of the .September grand jury but if Thurs ton decides to drop the case, the grand Jury will have nothing to do hut acede to his wishes. Just what objection Thurston had to the marriage, other than the dis crepancy In age of the couple, is not known here. The girl, he claimed. Is not yet 15 years old and Zoller is said to be nearly 40, although he gave his age as J6 on the marriage license. The forged permission from Thurston is said to have been written by the girl, who Is well satisfied In her new home. Zoller Is a sober and Industrious man, his acquaintances say. being em ployed as a section foreman for the railroad at Duncan. He is said to be making his young bride happy In their little home and as long as she is sat isfied, her futher is not holding out strenuous objections. The whole uffulr has been tinged with considerable romance of the fron tier variety, charges and counter churges. gun play and elopement hav ing figured conspicuously. The case opened on Saturday, May Ji. when Zoller. accompanied by James Snyder produced the alleged forged not say ing the girl had her father's permis sion to marry and obtained a license from Deputy County Clerk James B. Welch. That evening, under the trees at North Fork, the couple was mar ried by the llev. J. E. Ireland, of Pen dleton. On Monday the Irate father came to Pendleton to swear out com plaint against Zoller. Snyder and Mrs. Snyder, for taking away a minor girl without the consent of her purents. Snyder was also charged with carry ing a conceuled weapon. Zoller and tho young bride came to answer the charges and waived preliminary hearing in Justice court, preferring to be bound to the grand Jury. Zoller at the same time charged Thurston with having killed a deer out of season, for which the latter paid a 125 fine. Yesterday Snyder's trial was held and he was fined flO for carrying concealed weapons. The case now stands with everyone in court and finished except the original defendants and apparently all are ready to bury the hatchet and call it quits. Practically all Allie?'
