CIVESHISSTATEMNT HARTMAN BELIEVES RAILROAD ASSISTED IN EIS DEFEAT. The County Debt Has Increased Dur ing the Fast Two Years- $40, 000 to Railroad- Pendleton, May 21 To the editor: When I have anything to say I do not go behiud a nom de plume nor use the columns of an irresponsible news paper; my brand will be found on every article. I was defeated two years ago by 86 votes by what I shall call tinder in flueuoe. The office of oonnty judge is principally a business office and as I represent interests in this connty which pay over $2000 in taxes each year I certainly would insist on an economical administration of connty affairs. The man who aooepts an office solely for the money he may make ont of it is a poor pnblio servant, as the filling of a place of pnblio tmst should be above a money consideration. If I am again honored, my beat efforts will be exerted in the, people's interests. The county debt has inoreased during the last two years and the people are this year called to pay the heaviest taxes in the history of the countyy. This was partially brought about by the county after having won in the supreme court making a present back to the railroad company of nearly 140,000. The people are now making this up in inoreased taxes, as the tax payers doubtless know without men tion from me. I am reliably informed that the rail road company contributed to my de feat; not beoanse I am a democrat but because I would not, while a member of the county court consent to the $40,000 gift. Reoent dispatches state that Mr. Cotton, attorney for the railroad com pany, sent $5000 to Taooma to help elect a democratic mayor, this show ing that such contributions are not made for party reasons. Now I don't charge the court with corruption, but do think that they were inflnenoed by friends of the rail road, instead of staying by the people. The shareholders of the First National bank brought a suit similar to the railroad company, and Were defeated in the supreme court and were com pelled to pay in f ulL The falsehoods told of me in the past, or that may be invented before the close of the campaign, I ask the voters to take as falsehoods, whioh toey ere. I have ever been careful of my offioial integrity, never to my knowledge having accepted a dollar Cook House (At Once and Tea Athena, Oregon. for an official act contrary to law and anyone who has made, or in the future does make a obarge does so knowing he is telling a malicious falsehood. The levying and spending a direct tax ou your property is a matter of business not politics. When pol iticians make it a matter of politics, it costs twice as much as it should cost I pledge au economical administra tion and ask the voters to read care fully the following oath: "I do solemnly pledge myself that I will give my vote and suffrage as I shall judge in mine own conscience may best condnoe to the publio weal." Finally, trosting that the voters and taxpayers of the connty will show by their votes on June 4th that they believe that I have the moral con- age and persoual independence to curry out this pledge, and again honor mo by an electiou, I pledge my bost efforts in their behalf. G. A. HART MAN. KIDS WON SUNDAY Walla Wa!la Fltchere Sent to the Woods With 82 Hit. Willard pitohed a good game at Walla Walla Saturday, allowing but four bits. Errors figured in the defeat of the Kids by a score of 5 to 6. The game was closely contested, Athena leading until the eighth, when two 'Boosters ' orossed the plate. The features of the game were Wil- lard's pitching and Lieuallen and Felland'a fielding.

This is the game they are all talk ing about in the earden city. It was so one-sided that the "Boosters" pitch ers have taken to tne woous ana tne other members of the team are sleep ing on the boards. The Yellow Kids fattened their batting averages with 22 hits; 10 off Rommell and 12 off Pntkx. Osbnrn was in the box f or the Kids aud allowed but 5 scattered hits. The only time the "Boosters" had & look in was in the second inning when two error, a hit and an overthrow at seooucl let in three men. The rest of it was all yellow. The Kids simply ate np everything on the batting order and before the fireworks was over, Mr. Bui Upton s $5 sign on the fence was faded by Krietz. and Pelland soused one over the fence for a homer. Everybody from Athena bit the ball whenever be wanted to, exoept Osburn, and be did n't have to. Krietz led the bunch with four bingles, one a horrer and a two bagger. Johnson, Millard, Pel- land, Lieuallen and Davidsou eaob got three, and there was nothing to it but hittinir the borsebide and the yellow streaks flourishing aronnd the sacks. Before the matinee was closed walla Walla rooters wore as silent as the town clock and 19 Kids had left their tracks on the home plate. The sum mary of the score book says: 128456789 Athena 1 0 4 0 4 0 0 6 419 Walla Walla 0 8000000 08 Batteries Osburn and Krietz; Rum mell, Parks and Lankard. Earned runs, Athena 12.

Marquis Goes Prof. George Marquis, under whose principalship the Athena publio school has been during the last year, and who was reelected by the school board, has decided to go to Whitman College, and the board will have to look elsewhere for a principal. Mr. Marquis leaves Athena reluctantly and only does so because be can do better in the way of salary and have the convenience of finishing the course The Foster Pendleton, May 22 Through good work in the sheriff's office, the mys tery surrounding the fire and death in the box car at Foster has been solved. William Wilson, the soldier, has made to the sheriff a full statement in which he admits that be allowed two men to ride in bis car and t hat the burned man was one of them. However, be denies having anything to do with the death of the unfor tunate man, aud thinks the same was accidental. According to Wilsou'a IT WAS SCARY Llnei Down and Two Glrla llehlnd a Runaway Hone. One of the most spectacular run aways ever witnessed in Athena took plaoe at the upper end of Main street yesterday morning. The family horse owned by Press Colbern was beiug driven into town when it became frightened at a cou ple of Indians near the Kirk place. Miss Irene Dudley and the Henricksen sisters were in the buggy, one of the sisters driving. The horse plunged uwl the driver was thrown to the ptound. The reins were dragging and the horse came into Main street at a terriHo paoe, the two girls in the seat being utteily helpless. ' In front of Smith's shoe shop the lines became tangled in the wheels and this threw the horse to the ground. The bnggy turned over and the two girls alighted safely. Before the horse could get nway again, Miss Ida Hendrioksen pluokily seized the bridle bits and held it until help came. Katie Hendrioksen, who was driving was injured somewhat when she was thrown out of the rig. The horse was injured slightly and the shafts of the buggy were cracked and broken. The young ladies were fortunate in esoap iug without serious injury, and only the horse falling down soared them. HIS SKULL FRACTURED Five-Tear Old 8on f Mr. and Mra. Knight Kicked by Horae. A five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Knight was terribly injured by being kicked on the bead by a horse, Sunday afternoon while playing on the ball grounds. The boy and other ohildreh were running after a band of horses whioh were grazing when the little fellow was kicked. The blow : struck in the forehead over the left eye and the skull was frightfully fraotured. Drs. Plamon don, Sharp and Stone were oalled and did all they could for the ilttle one. The skull was lifted from cbe brain and a piece of bone nearly an inch square was removed. After the operation, whioh was successful in every particular, the little fellow rullied and is now getting along as well as could be expected. Dr. Sharp, the attending . physi cian, says the boy may recover unless complication!! arise, of whiob at the present time there are no indications. Reward Offered.
