Many Gases of Importance Are
Tried and Settled.
WILKINS FOUND NOT GUILTY
Mack Smith Guilty, But $500 Fine
is Lowered to S1 00-Jake
Dexter Fined $50.
Circuit Court opened in Heppner
Monday morning with Judge Phelps
of Pendleton presiding. Quite a num
ber of eases of importance and
general interest were tried and dis
posed of.
The grand jury consisted of C. J.
Anderson, Frank Rasmus, F. M
Broady, R. M. Akers, R. A. Farrens,
H. 0. Dennis and H. C. Githens.
Harry Cummings handled his own
case in the suit brought by the First
National Bank against him, and the
jury decided in favor of the plaintiff
Jim Miller, who was indicted for
stealing a few trivial articles last
winter, plead guilty and was paroled.
He left on the train this morning.
State vs. W. C. Kennedy, defendant
given trial by jury and found not
guilty.
In the case of the State vs. J. L
Wilkins, defendant being charged with
having knowingly allowed an employe
to sell bloated meat, the jury found
Mr. Wilkins not guilty. The jury was
not satisfied that Mr. Fell, who dis
posed of the meat to Gong Lane, had
notified Mr. Wilkins that the beef was
bloated before he sold it.
Jake Dexter, who furnished 19
young boys with liquor New Year's
Eve, was fined $50 and the judge gave
young Dexter, who is only 19 years
old, some mighty sound advice in the
bargain. Dexter appeared without an
attorney and said he did not care to
have one.
Joe Gianelli, the Italian laborer,
plead guilty to assult upon a fellow
laborer at Castle Rock and was fined
$100.
Mack Smith, who was indicted for
allowing gambling to go on while he
was marshal of Heppner, was found
guilty by the jury and the Judge
assessed him a fine of $500. Mr. Smith
circulated a petition, which was sign
ed some 40 prominent citizens and
the members of the jury, recommend
ing a lower fine and the judge changed
the sentence to $100 cash fine and
paroled Mr. Smith, warning him not
to be found gambling in the future
under penalty of the maximum fine
The lowering of the cash fine meets
with general approval of the public,
inasmuch as Mr. Smith has a family
to support and it would have been im
possible to pay the entire $500.
Gong Lane, who delayed the court
when called as a witness in the Wil '
kins case, was fined $10 by the judge
for contempt of court.
A number of minor cases were set
tled or dismissed, and Court adjourned
before supper time yesterday.

Wigglesworth already had two cars

ment for him.

I. SPARLING VISITS
A. L. Sparling returned last even
ing from a business trip to Pendleton
ton and Hermiston and also attended
a convention in Spokane. He visited
the creameries at both Umatilla
County towns and found them paying
good dividends.
"If creameries at those towns can
make the business pay, then the suc
cess of Heppner creamery is a fore
gone conclusion in my mind," said Mr,
Sparling today. "The dairymen of
this district can supply a Heppner
creamery with as much cream as Pen
dleton and Hermiston creameries com
bined are handling." We now have
30 shareholders in the Heppner
creamery and want to make this a
hundred. Tell your readers that they
mould not hold back their subscrip

THIS GO TO CHURCH MOVEMENT IS A WINNER. IT IS

THEY SEE THAT IT IS A FORCE FOR GOOD NOT ONLY TO THE

If the man who scoffs n! tli.e GO TO CHURCH movement
could see himself us others do he would realize what n mistake he
is making. The (() TO CHURCH movement is a serious, broad
minded proposition. It will not be denied. In every city, town

awakening. H is not confined lo any class or seel.
IT IS PLAIN THAT THERE NEVER WAS A TIME WHEN RE

IT GRADUALLY DAWNED THAT THE CHURCHES WLRE BEING
EMPTIED AND THAT FACT WAS BROUGHT TO THE MINDS OF
THE PEOPLE, THEY WERE AROUSED.
The CO TO CHURCH call found a quick and powerful re

magnificent advance on the house of God. If yon haven't joined
the throng do it: at once. If you have a social engagement for
next Sunday break it -for an engagement with God. If you have
arranged for an unto drive, a game of golf or some other form of
recreation remember that you ought to serve God. Will you serve

TRANSACTIONS CLOSED
Oregon. There are 000 acres of plow
land, 245 of which are in wheat. The
balance is used for grazing purposes
and is ideal for stock. The entire
tract is covered wwith springs and a
creek runs through the place.
The reason we mention this deal as
being especially beneficial to the
county is because of the fact that
through the transaction we lose none
of our present population, but instead,
gain a most desirable family. Mr
Krebs has been a resident of Oregoi.

Doctor's Aid Needed to Step
Heavy Flow of Blood.
VICTIM RUSHED TO ARLINGTON
Frce-For-AII Fight Averted - Deputy
Sheriff's Auto Stuck in Sand
Official Walks to Town,
Castle Rock, Or., May 13 (Special
to The Herald) Excitement ran high
in Castle Rock for a time last Friday
evening because of an Italian fight
which took place here.
An extra gang of about forty
Italians have been doing some exten
sion work on the side track here and
after working hours two of them got
into a quarrel. The quarrel was
started by Joe Gianelli, calling Gia
vanno Gusto a "Round-head", after a
few words had passed between them
Gianelli stabbed Gusto with a knife
and severed a small artery near the
heart.
It was thought for a time that
Gusto would certainly bleed to death
before medical aid could be reached.
However, James Bellamy, the section
foreman, hurried with him on his
motor car to a doctor in Arlington
who succeeded in stopping the flow of
blood in time to save his life.
Some of Gusto's relatives were very
much riled up over the affray and it
looked for a time as though there
would be a general Italian mix-up.
In the meantime J. A. Gibbons had
communicated with the sheriff, who
gave him authority to take charge of
'Ji anelli until deputy sheriff Mc
Duffee could arrive from Heppner.
Mr. Gibbons took Gianelli over to his
homo and kept watch over him until
Mr. McDuffee arrived at 3:00 a. m.
Mr. McDuffee had started across
the country from Lexington with Mr.
Beach in an automobile. They suc
ceeded in getting within about four
and a half miles of Castle Rock when
they got stuck in the sand and had to
walk into town.
The next morning Mr. Weston took
his team out and pulled the car
through the sand for them. After
this they had no more difficulty and
started for Heppner with their pri
soner via the Willow Creek road.
POLITICIAN IN TROUBLE
A certian ward heeler in the new
Virginia precinct had an experience
the other day that has just leaked
out. We are mentioning no names
in connection with this tale but the
party that did the deal is well known.
This party had been bothered by his
neighbor's cat considerably and when
he saw the cat in his chicken roost he
brought his trusty rifle into play and
fired on the enemy. Now this ward
heeler, who also happens to be a city
alderman, evidently is not the best
shot in the world and he only managed
to wound the cat, hitting it in the car.
About this time his wife appeared on
the scene. "I've shot that gol dinged
cat that's been killing our chickens
and I'll teach the neighbors to keep
their animals to home," boasted the
ddeimnn. "You've done no such a
thing," sobbed his wife. "That's OUR
CAT." Now you go ahead ad finish
your dirty work and kill that poor
animal."
Now when he found that it was
really his own cat he had killed the
alderman had not the heart to finish
the job. So he hired a chinaman to
tie a rope around the poor pussy's
head and drop her into the creek with
a stone attached. Hereafter this ward
heeler says he will spend his time
fighting his political enemies instead
of shooting cats.
The oil wagon recently purchased
by the city was put m operation this
week and Main Street and a few hide
streets were given two coals of oil.
That this method of keeping down the
dust is a good one, and that it will be
cheaper in the long run than the use
of water, is generally conceded. The
streets have u fine appearance now.
CASTLE ROCK WAS
NEARLY FATA
