J. E. Pamplin Under Arrest.
A dispatch appearing in Thursday's
Oregonian from Saa Francisco an
nounced that Frank Pamplin, a recruit
for the first volunteers now at Manila,
was arrested at Camp Merritt on a war
rant from Union county, Or., charging
him with the embezzlement of $500. It

from a resident of Union county upon
the false pretense that he controlled an
irrigation district in Southern Oregon,
Pamplin says he obtained the money,
but denies that the transaction was un
lawful. A Narrow Escape,
James Hudson, of Weston, was at
Bingham Springs for the Fourth of
July, and indulged with frequency and
enthusiasm in the fine swimmfng pool,
says the Leader. After regaining in
the inviting water until his strength had
been gradually exhausted without bis
knowledge, he essayed a jump from the
spring board and found himself helpless.
He sank four or five times before the
other bathers noticed his distress, and
Walter Morris, also of Weston, went to
his assistance. Morris was forced be
neath the water by the struggling Hud
son, and both were nearly di owned
before they could be rescued. Hulson
was almost gone, being very weak.

WIPED OUT BY FIRE
Disasterous Fire at Antelope,
In Wasco; County.
MORE COMPLICATIONS
In the Case of Hanylton &
Rourke vs.Sibson & Kerr.
Early Monday morning the building
next to the Antelope hotel in Antlope,
Wbbco county, occupied by a bowling
al'ey, was discovered to be on fire.
The people of the town were aroused
and began a battle against the flames,
but there was no fire, protection and
little could ba done but to save goods
and chattels from buildings in the path
of the flames. i
It was but a'ehort time until the large'
two story building, used for stores un
derneath and Masonic ball overhead,
was in flames, and almost immediately
the large red barn, owned by W. D.
Jones of this city, was in flames. ". The
fire then crossed the street to Silver
tooth's saloon, and in a short space of
time Patterson's notion store and W.
Bolton & Co.'s immense warehouse and
store were one mass of flames. By
hard work the Antelope Herald building
was saved. From Jones' barn the fire
continued its way 'east and, consumed
Kircheiner's blacksmith shop, 1'r. Pit
kington's drijg store, the poetoffice and
notion store conducted by Mrs. John
Bennett and the furnituie store of Glisan
& Brown. '
Then the large Occidental hotel caught,
and in a few minutes ignited a small
building adjoining and here the fire
spent itself and subsided. -
This was an extremely bad time of
year for a fire to start, in Antelope, aays
The Dalles Times-Mountaineer, for at
this season the mechants usually stock
up very heavily en" account ef the cheap
rates that goods are hauled for during
the wool hauling season. No accidents
were reported. v
Dr. Pilkington, whose drug store was
destroyed, went from Pendleton to Ante
lope. He way for several years agency
physician 'on the Umatilla resenation.
Antelope is 60 miles south of The
Dalles, and the particulars as to .losses
and iueurence have not as yet reaqfaed

railroad.
MORE COMPLICATIONS.
In the Case of Hamilton & Rourke vs.
Sibson & Kerr.
The case of the Hamilton & Rourke
company against Sibson & Kerr and the
Hamilton & Rourke Warehouse System
has taken on a new phase somewhat
startling. July 6 the case ras before
Judge S. A. Lowell, of Pendleton, and an
important decision was then rendered by
which E. P. Marshall, receiver of the
Warehouse System was disoharged. Be
fore his discharge was accepted as final
the defendants were required to give
$100,000 bond as assurance of properly
conducting the business. .
During the few days in which the bond
was being obtained and filed the attor
neys renewed the suit at Dayton, Wash.,
before Judge Goodman of Columbia
county. A hearing was had and a new
receiver, D. C. Guernsey, a banker of
Dayton, waa appointed. The case and
method of procedure was the same as
in Umatilla county except some of the
allegations were made stronger.
Saturday evening the $100,000 bond
was filed in Pendleton, and E. P. Mar
shall was finally discharged as receiver.
Mr. Marshall accepted the receipts for
the warehouses and delivered the keys
to F. W. Hendiey, which was considered
by these men as placing the warehouses
in possession f Mr. Hendiey.
But while this was going on another
movement took place. The newly ap
pointed receiver, D. C. Guernsey, had
placed an agent at each warehouse and
when Marshall was discharged they
were immediately told to take possession
which they did.
While Mr. Hendiey holds the keys
and receipts to the warehouses of the
Hamilton-Rourke Warehouse System,
the warehouses are claimed to be in the
possession of the Hamilton & Rourke
company. Mr. Hendiey insists that the
keys and receipts gave him poesesson
ithout any further proceeding and At
torneys Carter A Raiey and D, W.
Bailey aay for Hamilton & Rourke, the
plaintiffs, their company has possession
and thus the matter stands.
Legal complications of the case are
growing more eom plicated every day.
The matter of the right of a receiver ap
pointed in one state to hold jurisdiction
over the property in another state the at
torneys for the system claim to have been
strongly declared. In the matterjuf the
appointment of Mr. Marshall in Oregon,
Judge Thomas Bsut. of Walla Walla,
decided that his conGrming the appoint
ment for ;be state of Washington was not
necessary. Various opinions are ex
pressed by attorneys on this question,
but none have expressed themselves
firmly.
TWO CONTEST CASES.
Hinkle vs. Bean and Faxon vs, Blake-
ley.
The election cast of Hinkle vs. Bean,
to decide the question as to which one
of the gentlemen shall be prosecuting
attorney for the Bixtb judical district,
we originally set for July 13, says the
East Oreganian. It was decided several
days auo, however, that a postponement
would be satisfactory to all concerned, eo
the case will not come on hearing untill
September t. Judge Eakin, of Union
County, will sit in the case.
The shrievalty contest, Faxon vs.
Blakely. is billed for trial on July 21.
Judga Eakin will likewise preside in tbis
case.
Mr. Hinkle enters the contest with a
majority in the district against him of
143 on the face of the returns. Mr. Faxon
received 39 votes fewer than Mr. Blakely
for sheriff of Umatilla county, but hopes
to change the minority into a majority.
Mr. Blakely iB resting easy, being of
the ODinion that the votes were proi erly
counted and that he received a legal ma
jority and that the recount will in nowise
interfere with his retaining possession of
the office, to the duties of which he iB
rapidly becoming accustomed,
THE REGULATOR SUNK.
The Fine River Steamer Sunk at the
Cascades but no Lives Were Lost.
Monday afternoon, at 1 :30, the D. P.
& A. U. Co's steamer, the Regulator,
was sunk in the rapids about 200 yards
below the lower entrauee to the canal
at Cascade Locks.
The boat was coming from Portland
with a heavy load of freight and a large
passenger list, and when coming from
Washington to the Oregon side, prepara
tory to entering the locks, the boat was
caught in a heavy swell and forced
against the rocks on the Oregon elde
with such viclence as to knock a bole in
her hull. The boat filled with water
rapidly, but Captain Allen andMie. crew
maintained good control of their wits
and succeeded in getting a line ashore
and getting all the passengers off in a
remarkably short time without the
slightest accident to anyone. A number
of horses on board were also saved.
The sunken boat waa anchored to the
shore, and is in no immediate danger of
sustaining serious injury.

DAMAGED BY. HAIL
Several Thousand Bushels ,-'
of Wheat Destroyed - ; ' !"''
PIERCE A HEAVY LOSER
Fierce Storm of Sunday Re
suits in Serious Loss.
Sunday afternoon, July 10, a hail
Storm along the foothills 15 to 20 miles
south of Pendleton did considerable
damage to wheat just about ready to cut.
The storm traveled from southwest to
northeast and its trail was several miles
long and one mile wide.
Muir Brothers bad their crop damaged
on 480 acres, so that they will loss in
tbe neighborhood of 5000 bushels.
Ole Hendrickson bad a field of SO
acres, which will now be but half a
crop.
B. F. McElroy had a quarter section
in wheat, of which the hail destroyed
one-half. He estimated that piece of
ground would yield 20 bushels to the
acre, so he will loose about 1600 bushels
by the storm. -.
Henry F, Pierce ia a heavy loser, be
cause the storm struck through the
center of 500 acres of bis spring wheat.
His crop was damaged to the extent of
4000 bushels.
David Nelson had 500 acres in the
path of the storm, but. fortunately only
:J00 acres were damaged, the remaining
300 acres not being touched. On the
200 acres struck by tbe hail Mr. Nelson
will lose 2000 bushels of wheat accord
ing to hiB estimate. In addition Mr.
Nelson bemoanB the loss of a fancy cook
house, which cost him 35 . Mr. Nelson
said that he didn't care so much for the
wheat, but he did hate to lose that cook
house, which he had recently fixed up
for harvest. He said further that the
storm picked the cookhouse up from
the wagon upon which it was resting,
set it down on the ground 40 or 50 feet
away and then kept rolling it over and
over until it was in fit condition to be
used as kindling wood, rather thau for
the purpose originally built.
E. L. Smith has some wheat lan d
near the storm-swept section, but the
hail only touched one corner of it and
did no real damage thereto.
Ed Zimmerman, who lives north of
Athena, reports considerable damage to
the wheat in his neighborhood as the
result of the storm.
War Celebration at Weston,
Saturday evening an enthusiastic celo-
bration was held at Weston to commem
orate the recent victories at Santiago de
Cuba. ' Many people from the surround
ing country were present, as was also a
goodly number from Athena.
A bonfire was lighted in the street.
There were patriotic songs by a glee dub
of ladies and gentlemen of Weston, and
speeches by Professors Hill and Van
Winkle, and Messrs. Huntington, Bilyeu, :
RIgby, Proebstel and others. The street;
program was concluded about 10 o'clock, '
when a large portion of the people ad
jouned to tbe opera house where dancing
was enjoyed for a number of hours.
'Uncle" Dick Powers was master of
ceremonies and made the celebration a
success.
Scot to Hav3 Another Picnic.
The members of the Caledonian So
ciety of this and Walla Walla counties
are preparing for another great outing to
be held in September or October, as
soon as the rush of harvest is over.
Where the picnic will be has not yet
been settled, but it may be in Athena,
In any event it ia determined to have
the most mammoth celebration in the his
tory of the Caledonians of Eastern Ore
gon.
The success of the demonstration ot a
few weeks ago at this place, ia the prin
ciple reason for the holding of another
event, and Athena's hospitality at uit
time has caused such a grateful feeling
in the hearts of all Caledonians that at
tended that it may result in this city be
ing chosen as the site of the harvest
affair. . T. ' ?
