POLK GRAND JURY. '
The grand jury for the present
term of court, as drawn Monday,
is as follows:
Foreman, J. R. Moyer, carpen-
ter, Falls City; J. W. Rogers,
farmer, Independence; S. L. Stew-
art, farmer, McCoy; Walter Nor-
ton, farmer, Airlie; J. U. Yeator,
farmer, McCoy; Ira C. Yocom,
farmer, Willamlna; A. Womer,
farmer, Airlie.
Immediately after being drawn and
charged by the Court, the grand Jury
withdrew and took up their investiga
tions. They made a partial report at
noon today in which three of the Ave
prisoners held in the county Jail for
examination, were discharged, and two
held. The substance of their report
was as follows:
True Hills Returned.
True bills were returned in the case
of M. Hibbard, charged with forgery,
nnd T. Baker, charged with larceny.
In the former case the prisoner is
accused of cashing a worthless check
nt an Independence bank late in Octo
ber. He was arrested in Salem and
brought back to Independence for
trial and bound over to the grand jury
by Justice Wilson. Baker is charged
with stealing a shotgun and a gold
watch from the dwelling of Loe Bros.,
east of the city. It Is reported that he
will plead guilty when arraigned in
court. .
Throe Are Discharged.
. Not true bills were returned against
II. S. Brlstow and Clifford Young,
charged with assault with a dangerous
weapon, and Thomas Homer, charged
with assault. Brlstow and Young
were arrested following a fight which
occurred on the west bank of the Wil
lamette river, In West Salem, late in
July, in which the two men and two
or three others took part, and were
subsequently remanded to jail follow
ing an examination before Justice Hoi
man in this city. Brlstow soon se
cured his liberty on bail, but Young
has put in the past few months In the
county bastlle. George Skiff acted as
counsel for the two men.
Homer is the fellow accused f beat
ing up Foreman McDonald at the
"Wig-Rich" ranch south of Independ
ence a few days ago following his al
leged discharge from the employ of
the ranch company.
The grand Jury was discharged at
2:30 this afternoon.
The trial of the damage suit of Mrs.
Lydia M. Howard against Ben J. Wer
ner is now on and will probably re
quire the balance of the afternoon. It
Is thought that the suit for damages
instituted by William "Horseradish"
Wright against Sheriff Grant and Jus
tice llolman will be taken up tomor
row. Decided Monday.
In the action brought by the Nation
al Credit association against C. E. Ire
land argued to the Court on Monday
morning, the demurrer to the com
plaint was overruled, and It was stip
ulated that attorney's fee be fixed at
$50; Judgment as prayed for, except
as to fee, for which Judgment is
amended in theVim of $50, in accord
ance with stipulation.
Damage suit of Mrs. Lydia W. How
ard, of Independence, against Ben J.
Werner, of Dallas, for Injuries receiv
ed as the result of an alleged automo
bile accident at the Southern Pacific
station grounds in Dallas on the night
of April 6, 1912, occupied the atten
tion of the jury and the court Monday
afternoon and the greater portion of
today. In this action plaintiff seeks
to recover damages in the sum of
$6,000, and alleges that she has been
permanently injured by reason of the
fact that she was struck by defend
ant's macHine on the station grounds,
Fhe claims that she was standing on

and that the machine was not suppos

was in fact trespassing upon company
property, that the station grounds
are not for the use of public vehicles,
and that she had no reason- to sup
pose that she was In danger from such
source.

Testimony for plaintiff shoved that
she ran from the court house square ;
to I. A M. motor and that she reached
the station in plenty of time to make
the connection. The prosecuting wit

the station she found there was still i

BUENA VISTA AND SMITHFIELD
ATTAIN COVETED GOAL.
Reports on File In County Superin
teiideut's Office Show That Several
More are Nearlng Mark.
Two more Polk county schools
have reached the standard goal, ac
cording to information on file in
County Superintendent H. C. - Sey
mour's office. They are Buena ViBta
and Smithfield, both of which have
earned the coveted stars.
The Buena Vista school Is taught
by W. I. Reynolds and Miss Mattle
Lee, and the board consists of N. M.
Prather, J. A. Reynolds and John
Lov. with J. K. Neal as clerk. The
Smithfield school is taught by L. H,
Malllcoat and the school board con
sists of Frank Freisen, John Byerly
and M. Fosnot with W. J. Garner as
clerk.
It is reported that several other
schools in the county, at the present
time only lack a point or two of
reaching the standard class and their
elevation to this condition Is expected
shortly.

collided
with the automobile.
Run Into Machine.
The plaintiff rested after the morn
ing recess, and a motion to non-suit
made by defendant's counsel, Oscar
Hayter, was overruled; following de
fense began the Introduction of testi
mony. It is probable that the case
will go to the jury some time this af
ternoon. It is the contention of the defense
that no regulations against the use of
the station grounds by vehicles exist,
that it Is a public street, in fact, and
that the plaintiff ran into the ma
chine, rather than the machine Into
her, .and several other allegations
widely at variance with the plaintiff's
version of the accident. The defense
used medical testimony this afternoon
to show that the alleged injury shown
by X-ray nhotograchs might have
been caused by other means, or might
have been the result of natural causes.

DALLAS
CLOSE AND EXCITING BASKET
BALL CONTEST PROMISED.
Capital Business College Coming for
Revenge for Walloping Recently
Given Them by Loral Lads.
What promises to be one of the
most exciting and closely contested
basket ball games of the present sea
son will take place at the Armory In
Dallas on Saturday night, December 7,
when the Dallas High School team
will meet the team from the Capital
Business college, of Salem. The Dal
las boys defeated the Salem five at the
latter city recently by the decisive
score of 55 to. 14, but It Is reported
that the latter have made several
changes in their line-up, which make
their aggregation much stronger, and
they are coming over determined to
even up with the locals for tire trim
ming given them at Salem.
The Dallas team, however, are of
a different opinion, and will do their
best to duplicate their performance
at Salem. Heistand, Woods, Boydston,
Herzog and Captain Matheney need
no recommendation, for they have al
ready made a name for themselves.
The Dallas High is one of the best
tea:ns in this section and all who
miss the games In Dal'as this winter,
put up by this fast aggregation, will
fail to witness some exciting contests.
Come out Friday night and help the
boys along by your presence and your
encouraging "rooting." Play will be
called at 8 o'clock. Admission 25

WANTS PARK CONCERTS
Sacred Band Concerts al Oty Park on
Sundays During Summer Is Sug
gest ion by Prominent Dallas Citizen.
Should the city decide upon the
beautifying of Its park, as suggested
by The Observer," said a merchant of
the city yesterday, "provision should
be made for a Sunday afternoon con
cert by the city's band. A sacred con
cert, or other music appropriate for
the Sababth day, couid be furnished,
people who leave the city on Sunday
through the summer months would
remain at home, and the Sunday
would seem shorter and more of a day
of rest. I think there Is some food for
thought In this suggestion," he added,
"and the Commercial club might take
the matter up with profit to the city."
As the first meetings of the band are
be held this week, the gentleman
suggested that the matter might be
taken up immediately with thia organ-
-ranged that It would not conflict withi
the religious services of the dav and
the plan might me-e t with general Bit-
proval. The x-ople in the country
might welocme an invitation of this
se.rt. and male, the park w hat It
should be. a resting place on Sunday.

150 INDEPENDENCE WOMEN VOTE
IN MONDAY'S ELECTION
AND SCORE GREAT
VICTORY.
HAD TO WRITE IN NAMES
Cut and Dried Ticket Goes Down to
Defeat Before Onslaught of New
Voters; All Contested Candidates
Are Overwhelmingly Worsted. Re
sults Elsewhere.
INDEPENDENCE, Dec. 3. (Spe
cial.) One hundred and fifty women
In Independence exercised their right
of suffrage yesterday for the first time
at the city election here, and they de
ieated what was konwn as the "ring
candidates" by a majority of more
than 50 votes. The women took to
their new duties enthusiastically, and
even though they were obliged to
write the names, of their candidates
on the ballot, they were not daunted,
and the namfes thus written In, turned
out to be the successful ones in the
election.
Eldrklgo Re-Elected.
Mayor K. C. Eldredge candidate for
re-election, had no opposition and the
same was true of B. F. Swope, who
was re-elected to his present position
of recorder. C. W. Irvine, for council
man, also went in without opposition.
But W. L. Bice and P. Lallaberty
didnl' come out of the scrap so easily.
They were opposed by P. H. Drexler
and W. H. Walter, and were defeated
by a majority of 50 votes.
For some reason an attempt had
been made to use the Australian bal
lot in the city election, and only one
set of names were printed thereon.
But the recently created voters were
no't daunted by this stumbling block,
and they rallied to the support of the
ftntl-ring candidates 'With the result
that they were successful. Every
candidate who bore the brunt of the
feminine opposition went down to de
feat, even under adverse conditions,
which was so decisive as to leave no
room- for doubt, nor have rumors of
probable "contests" been heard.
Bi Vote Is Cast.
Four hundred and ten votes were
cast, which is the largest in the his
tory of the city. The movement which
interested the women, appeared to
start with a rush. For a few days be
fore the election it was not believed
that any considerable number of them
would avail themselves of the oppor
tunity of casting a ballot. But, early
n the day, it became apparent that
they would vote in considerable num
bers and the fact that they opposed
the hand-made ticket and would have
to write in the names of their candl-
ates only served to sharpen their
ppctites for the ballot and they went
to win, and win they did. Last
night, as the votes were being counted,
and it became apparent that the "new
citizens" were going to cut a mighty
.big figure In the result many of the
time-tried and tested "politicians"
began to wonder where they would
land, and today dozens of them have
been trying to figure out what hit
them.
Independence enjoys the distinction
of being the first town In Polk county
to record the votes of the enfranchised
women, and the result has not been
exactly gratifying to some, although
those who have been compelled to
worry along with the "outs" are not
doing much "kicking."
Results Elsewhere.
Today's dispatches convey Interest
ing news to those interested In the
outcome of the city elections through
out the state wherein the ladles of Or
egon have the privilege of casting their
first ballot. Mrs. Kate Newton, first
woman candidate for mayor, was de
feated at Oregon City by an over
whelming majority by a man. At Al
bany the women cast 28 per cent of
the total vote 194 votes in all. 700
womi-n voted at the Grunts Pass city
election. Newport "drys" won a vic
tory with ease, the ladies turning out
In fair numbers In spite of a heavy
rain. At Tillamook the "wets" won
by eight votes, the women casting half
of the vote.

MEANING OF WORD PEDDLER
Court to Be Asked. , to Decide Just
When a Man's a "Peddler;" Now
Ordinance Regulntlng Hawkers of
Fresh Meats Is Introduced; Other
Council Business.
Acting on advice of the city attor
ney, the city council last night decid
ed to make a test case of the peddler
ordinance recently passed, carrying
the matter from Judge Gregory's
court to the circuit court for the pur
pose of having the upper court define
the word "peddler." The legality of
the ordinance has been in doubt by
both attorneys and the council since
its passtige, and the arrest of a coffee
peddler on Friday for violation of the
ordinance, gave the council an oppor
tunity to get a final decision. The ar
rested party was regularly fined In the
city court, gave notice of appeal and
agreed with the authorities to take the
case up upon a submission of the case
in the simplest possible manner, thus
keeping the expense of appeal at the
minimum. City Attorney Tooze will
go to Portland next week and with
the attorneys for the party appealing
prepare the briefs necessary for a for
mal appeal.
The new curb ordinance was read
for the second time and it was agreed
that the rock material must be No. 2

city, passed to the first reading.
The street committee reported the
work of laying cross walks and the
straightening of certain streets as yet
unfinished. Some cement crossings
and several board crossings had been
finished since the lust meeting, but
the .straightening of the streets had
been delayed somewhat by property
owners. The new cement cross walks
were built at a less expense than for
merly and the mayor estimated that
the cost would average about $46.
The building committee reported
that but twb estimates had been made
for the erection of the bell tower and
the matter would go over, awaiting
other bids.
ProiK-rly Corners Found.
The determination of corners and
survey of the Ashbaugh property,
which was submitted to a McMlnnville
surveyor for adjustment, several weeks
ago, wus finally settled by a full re
port and chart being offered. The ex
act boundary lines were In doubt and
It was necessary for a re-survey to be
mude to confirm the records of a sur
vey made many years ago.
The dedication of certain streets
which hus been under consideration
for some time, was referred to Coun
cilman Ayres.
William Kersey and John Castle ap
pealed to the council for the opening
of a roadway near their places in
North Dallas and the matter was re
ferred to the city attorney for Investi
gation as to the city's rights under the
conditions.
It was reported that the property
now used as a dumping ground for the
city had changed hands and that it
might be necessary to enter Into an
other agreement, but no action was
taken.

MAT USE CITY PARK
Search of Itex-ords Fails to Itcveiil
Alleged Clause Forbidding Sale of
Article on Grounds.
At the time when the first discus
sion relative to the use of the city
j.Hrk fur a fair grounds was brought
forth. It was suggested that a clause
in the deed provided that nothing
should be sold on the grounds and It
was at once apparent that, if this pro
vision existed and could not be
eliminated. It would be impracticable
to use the park as a fair grounds.
On Saturday V. K. Grant took the
trouble to look up tbr records and
discovered that no such rlau exist

was to th effect that ri intoxicating

DISEASE IS IN MILD FORM
No Cause for Alarm, Declares County
Health Officer MeCallou; Montgom
ery School Closes, Teacher Down
With Disease; One Case at Oak
Dale,
Several coses of smallpox have been
reported from Falls City, and County
Health Officer Dr. B. H. McCallon
reports that every case has been
quarantined and that the schools have
been closed and all public meetings
discontinued for the time being. An
other case is reported from Oak Dale,
where Mrs. Thomas Wright is said to
be ill with the disease. The Mont
gomery school, west of Airlie, has
been closed, owing to the fact that the
teacher, Miss Eva Chapin, whose home
is in Falls City, visited there recently
and contracted the disease. She re
turned to her school and continued to
teach - until compelled to . relinquish
her duties. It is thought that several
of the pupils have been exposed- and it
aws deemed wise to close the school
for the time being.
All Cases Mild.
Dr. McCallon states that all of the
cases are in very mild form dnd he
anticipates no cause for alarm on the
part of anone. Strenuous measures
have been taken to stamp out all dan
ger of further spread of the disease,
but it is declared that the unwilling
ness of the people to co-operate with
the authorities Is causing the work to
be much more difficult than would
otherwise be the case.
"Everybody wants the other fellow
quarantined,- said "Dr. : McCallon to-'
day, "but they are not bo enthusiastic
when this action affects them person--ally.
We find that the greatest trouble
in fighting contagious diseases, is the
tendency of the people to conceal the
trouble, fearing the effects of quaran
tine." In several instances It is de
clared that the cases were not report
ed to physicians until some time had
elupsed, and in every Instance of this
kind the danger of spread of the dis
ease was increased a hundred 'fold.
As fast, however, as the nature of the
trouble became known, prompt meas- ,
ures have been employed and it is be
lieved that the outbreak is how under
control. The public generally Is cau
tioned to cool counsel in the present
conditions and to promptly report all
suspicious coses In order thut they
muy be Investigated and the general
health of the communities safe
guarded.
There Is considerable mystery re
garding the origin of the disease, but
It Is thouhgt to have been brought to
Falls City, where it first appeared, by
a logger from one of the camps fur
ther up in the mountains.
