THE SUIT WHICH WAS SETTLED.
Xgre went Between Secretary Kincsid
-Jjind the Normal School Agent.
Weston Normal School case
A to have been finally seftled
i x -.p satisfact
? .v noro that I
satisfaction of all parties con
waa announced some;
the secretary of state
iftftd agreed to
aereed to certain things which
were agreeable to the regents of the
school and the case, was dismissed
by the attorneys employed by the
boarcj, Messrs. Reeder & Raley and
Judga Ballery, Col. ; Raley having
met ihe secretary at Portland and
come to an Understanding. Col.
Ralestated to an East Oregonian
reporter the terms of the agreement
as follows:
"The statement which was pub
lished in the Portland Oregonian
and other papers to the effect that
the plaintiff met with a non-suit
leaves an erroneous impression re
garding the true status of the case.
While the legal term, non-suit,
may be suBceplible of various in
terpretation, it has generally been
taken by the people in this case as
meaning that ..the plaintiff was
forced out ofourt., The facts are
that the dismission of the case was
perfectly in liie wjt,h the wishes of
trie regejnfi, wnom we, as cuuueei,
repreee'hted,"and that the secretary
.'as i conceded all the things which
were vitul in the issue. By com-
in:; to an amicable agreement m
the premises, long and tedious liti-
cation has been avoided and the
interests of the people, as represent
ed by the secretary, and of the
normal school, as represented by
tho regents, have been conserved.
The agreement provided that the
case should be dismissed on our
motion;, that the secretary should
immediately transmit to the school
a certain amount of money, and
that the school should continue to
'receive "Ihe money regardless of
decisions in other cases pending.
In pursuance of this agreement
the school hns already received
.$2000 from tho secretary, and will
doubtless continue to receive the
money as ("not ns it is needed. The
settlement of tho suit gnve the re
gents great satisfaction, and clears
the way for the future conduct ot
the school without being hampered
bv annovine differences between
the reeenta and the secretary of
state. ' "
"An important feature of tho
agreement is that in the future the
auditing of the amount due to cm
loves of the school will be done
y the board and not by the socre
. .
tary, the secretary to be an auditor
only bo far as the technical correct
nesB of the accounts is concerned.'
A Close Call.
Two railroad men had a miracu
lous escape from being ground to
death beneath the wheels of a
freight train near Pendleton, Mou
dav. They were on a railroad bi
evele, when suddenly from around
a sharp curve, shot a huge freight
-engine nulling a heavy train of
cars. The engine was not more
than 50 feet nwav when the men
"discovered it. Tliev frantically
t prang from the bicycle, Mr. Evnns
alighting on his back in the middle
"of the roadbed. With the train
only 20 feet away, with a super
human effort he sprang from his
perilous position to one of safety,
outside tho rails. The other gen
tleman. Mr. 1'eter Devereux, sue
cceded in extricating himself from
tho bicvele, and pulling it after
him, together man and machine
rolled down tho embankment and
brought up against a barb wire
foncf. Asido from a few severe
scratches, both men escaped injury
Locked in a Freight Car.
A, B. Jones, a gentleman resid
ing at Gibbon, had business which
demanded his immediate attention
in Pendleton Thursday of last week
A freight train passing, he jump
cd into a box car. After he had
boarded tho car the usual railway
seal was put on the door. When
the car was sidetracked in Pendle
ton Jones could not get out, and he
raised such a disturbance that the
door was opened and he was allow
cd a breath ot fresh air. lie was
arrested and held until the con
tents or the car were checked up
and, os nothing waa found missing,
ho waa then released. Hereafter
Jones will pay carfare.
' Change of Time.
It is stated on apparently good
authority that on December 1st
there will be a change in time on
the Washington branch of the O
It. vt Js by which close connection
will be made with the freight train
on the main line, and eight or ten
hours cut from the running time to
Chicago. It-is said that by the
new time card the train from Spo
kane will arrive here early in the
morning.

letters to the pacer ne nas a mori-
gage on and spreading misleading
pencilmade statements among those
who might be influenced to vote
for him. His energy is only equal
ed by his 'gall.' " - .
, Will Change Coal.
"' The railroad company has ad
opted a change on coal and will
hereafter use coal from Diamond
ville, Coloradn, between Hunting
ton and Pendleton, instead of using
the Roslvn product as heretofore.
This change is made as a matter of
economy, as it will save tne nam
ing of the Roslyn coal across tne
Blue mouniains. Then the Dia-
mondville coal makes a better fire
and a tank of coal will last a pas
senger engine the round-trip be
tween La Grande and Umatilla.
The company is now receiving a
supply of Diamondville coal at
this point for' use during tne win
ter.
To School Directors.
County Superintendent Wood
ruff calls attention of tho school
directors to the fact that another
HDDortionment is to he mado the
ater part of December, it win ne
1 V. til
at least $1.50 per capita. In the
email districts where there are to
be but three months or less of
school this fall, directors should
fisure bo ns to extend all their
funds and not to have any on hand
at the beginning of the school year,
March. 18'JG. If they do have any
funds, the district, will forfeit the
same, tne money reverting to tne
countv school fund.
Will Be No Change.
It is stated that the change in
time on the Union Pacific out of
Chicago will not effect the time on
the O. II. & N. The new card went
into effect Sunday night on the
Union Pacific at midnight, and,
under it, the leaving time from
Chicago is changed from 2 p. m. to
n. m. This time is made up be
twecn there and the end of the O.
R. it N.. so that the old time card
will still hold good on the Oregon
road. Ihe impression is given
that for tho present the 0. R. & N,
receiver will make no change what
ever in the running timo of trains.
Lumber Will Co Up.
, Lumber prices 6eem certain to go
up with a bound with the opening
of the year. January 1, the largest
