Ag't THE SCOTCH PIGHiC Rain Interfered With Spirits 's and Games. . f WAIVED EXAMINATION :: .' a . . . ' '";. Hoffman Under Bonds of ! $1500, and in Jail. - Yesterday was the Scotch picnic dar. Rain interfered with the program to some extent, the grove being in an unfit condition to roceive the people, conse quently the games and other amuse ments were dispensed with. Wednesday morning it rained and rained and Thursday morning it rained some more. At 9 o'clock, tho tin.e snt for the arrival of the special train from rendleton, rain was etill faUing and everyone came to tbe conclusion that there would be no picnic. It cleared up shortly .and at 10 o'clock a telephone message came from Pendletoa announc ing that the train had started for Ath ena. A large number of citizens with the hand met the Pendleton people at the depot. The band headed the pro cession and the march was taken up to the opera house, where it had been de. cided to hold the wterciee3 ol tho day. Arriving at tha opera house a oortion ol the program was given when adjourn ment was made for dinner. At 2 o'clock the remaining- nortion of ol tbe program, which was both enter taining and interesting, was given. Semal of the speakers whoBe names wore on tno procraiu. owinir tn th In clement weather, were absent and their place 3 wore filled by others, among them Mr. John Vert, of Pendleton, and Mr. J. B. Huntington, of Athena. Mayor' Young welcomed the visitors in a few well chosen word at the commence ment of tha exercisee, ' : s At noon the sun was shining, and the country people began to arrive, and by by 2 o'clock there were a large, number of people in tho city, Uad the day been perfect, there would doubtless have been the largest crowd of people over before assembled In Athena. The Caledonians were profuse in their thanks for tbe favors shown them by tbe people of Athena; and especially the managers of the opera house who pavn the house free of charge. Thev vr much regretted that the members of the society were unable to carry out the en tire program. . WAIVfcD EXAMINATION. : Hoffman Bound Over In the Sum oi $1500. . At 2 o'clock Friday the city hall was filled with men to hear the preliminary ' examination of Charhs Hoffman, before Judge Smith. The large crowd did not hear much, for Deputy District Attorney, J. II. Lawrey, Judge Smith, the prisoner and officers adjourned to the Athena Hotel to take the statements of Hoffman's vic tims in writing. Arriving there, O. M. Walter pro ceeded to make his statement, when Hoffman interrupted several times. He became excited and gave notice that he would waive examination, for the pur pose of securing witnesses. Judge Smith placed him under ft, 500 bonds to appear before the grand jury. Deputy Sheriff Kimberk took Hoffman away and Walter continued with his statement. which does not differ from the one Jtiven yesterday by Heckman, and which was published in last evening's Fimss.
