Among the more important indict
ment.: brought, by the Grand Jury wa3
that against Owens for larceny of a
cow. The same charge ws brought a
gainst Ileckman and the latter party
plead guilty. Owens is standing trial
ad is being defended by atorneys C. E.
Woodson of Heppner and W. H.Wilson
of The Dalles. The trial opened last
evening and up to the time we went
to press this morning the jury had not
been selected. County Attorney Wells
ib oeing assisted m the prosecution by
attorm y Sam E. Van Vactor. The
case has created considerable interest
and a large crowd of spectators are
attending the trial.
A civil case was heard by the jury
yesterday. The Pacific Company of
Portland sued J. E. Cronan, the lone
banker for an alleged commision due
for the negotiation of the sale of Mr.
Cronan's stock in the Hank of Inno
By Supt. S. E. Notson.
The Hardman School is making good
pi ogress under the direction of Miss
Winnifred Osten, Margaret Osten and
Etta Adams. A number of improve
ments have been made about the build
ing. The floors have been well oiled
a new bookcase has been provided, and
a patent heating and ventilating plant
is in one room. Tf tlio fcoan- j
ventilating plant proves a success, it is
likely that the other rooms will lc v,

under an arrangement made by
the State Superintendent and the State
Board of Health, each country school
is entitled to elect from among the pu
pils a deputy health nfflP A-
as this is done the teacher should no
tify the county superintendent, and the
omciai uaoge and manual of instruc

the hope of the State S,in,.,v,t,ii
and the Board of Health that this will
result in keeping the sanitary condi

state collaborated m a plan to get the lazybones out to worship
on the Sabbath Pastor Cooper of the Cresskill Congregation
0le aU -reCOrds 83 the result of his forceful GO TO

pealed to the people in his section, where he plays tennis on "sum
mer days and where he is greatly liked despite the fact that the
members of the tennis club generally only go to church when some
body gets married or somebody's new baby is christened.
Of course Mr. Cooper doesn't play tennis Sunday. But his
congregation is composed mostly of commuters, and Sunday is
their only day of recreation. They say they have just got to "nhv
