Joseph. District Attorney Ivanhoe
appears for the state, and A. F. Lee

Tom and George Tucker, who with
Ben Tucker, Noi fleet Bogan and

demanded separate trials, the court
granting the demand. The attorneys
for Tom then moved for a continu
ance until the next term but this
motion was denied.
Only three witnesses were examin
ed up to Tuesday night T. N. Estes,
J. F. Struble and W. T. Estes, the
prosecuting witness. Their stories
were substantially the same given
at the trial of Logan and are famil
iar to readers oft his paper. ,
The trial Is attracting much inter
est and the court room is crowded
dally. The date of George Tucker's
trial is not yet set.
We Must Have Room
and in order to get that room we
will give a liberal discount on all

intoxicating liquor, and the other'
igainst J. A. Barnette of Wallowa
for giving away intoxicating liquor
to one Willard Cramer. Flsk was
arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
Barnette's attorney has filed a de
murrer tot the indictment.

Business Blocks
Boom In Building Improvements In
Enterprise Still On Increase

Ground was broken Monday for A.
C. Miller's handsome new office
building on River street facing the
court house. The tax title suit was
decided last week by Judge Knowles
in favor of Mr. Miller, who at once
gave orders to proceed with work of
construction. The plans have been
ready for months and have hereto
fore been described In this paper.
The building will be fireproof, and
Mr. Miller will have one of the
handsomest office buildings in East
em Oregon for his businesses, the
loan business and the Wallowa Coun
ty Title, and Abstract company.
The building activity of the past
year in Enterprise increases as the
season draws to a close, and already
there are indications that next year
will see more first-class business
blocks and residences erected than
during the last 12 months. Already
five business buildings are planned,
work on two of which will be begun
this fall" and! possibly on a third. The
five include Ashley's, Miller's .and
Melotte's new buildings and two that
are not yet made public owing to
certain deals still being Incomplete.
