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. Heck
man was giving in his statement as we
went to press.
The Woucdcd Men.
Hecsman and Walter, the wounded
men who are at the Athena Hotel, are
getting along as well as could poesiblr
be expected under tbe circumstances
They are receiving good nursing at th i
bands of Prince Richardson and Charles

spirits. Large boqueta of flowers and
good ventilation, with frequent viaitorn
adds much to cheer the men on their
road to recovery.
