FAMOUS COWGIRL FREED BY JURY Lakeview, Or. — Lorena Trickey, famous cowgirl, was found not guilty of the charge of murdering J. P. (Smil- ng Slim) Harris, by a jury which con sidered the case. The verdict was read amid a wild and unrestrained demon stration. The judge’s gavel and the protests of the court were drowned out by the wild demonstration which followed the pronouncement of the verdict. Lorena appeared stunned. For a few minutes she acted as if she was under a hypnotic spell. Cowboy “yip-yips,” women's screams, laughter, cheers filled the courtroom for more than five minutes. Lakeview was satisfied and happy hat Lorena had been acquitted. To those who sat through the long, tense hours of the courtroom drama, there could have been no other outcome. Union services will be held at the Baptist church Thursday 7:30 P. M. Mrs. Beaish will read the scripture and offer prayer. Miss Seyler will sing. Rev. S. Hamrick will preach the sermon.

No. 11 HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1927 vol . xxii Gas Container Explosion Kille 27. Pittsburg, Pa.—Twenty-seven persons were known to have met death and more than 500 were Injured, some ser iously, here when a giant natural gas storage tank containing 500,000 cubic feet at the Manchester works of the Equitable company exploded, spread ing death and destruction over an area one mile square. The Hermiston Gridiron Warriors added another victory to their list Armistice day by defeating the husky Athena team by the score of 18 to 0. The game was one of the best and cleanest of the season with both ag gregations putting up plenty of scrap without many penalties. The locals displayed their usual strength on the defense and held the Athenians back of the 30 yard line throughout the game. Athena had little chance to show their of fensive strength, due to the fact that they had the ball not more than a fifth of the time. On the defense Athena often put up a stubborn battle. They held the Hermiston crew for downs on the three yard line on one occasion, and another time stopped the smashes of Newell and Kennings three times with the ball on the one foot line. Hermiston scored one touchdown in the first half. Neither team was able to gain much yardage in the first half, and the ball was lost sev eral times on downs, and kicks were frequently exchanged. Newell regis tered the first marker from the 10 yard line where It had been worked by virtue of a nice punt return and end runs. In the second half the locajs put over two more touchdowns. On a tac kle play from the punt formation Kennings got loose for about 30 yards and looked good for a touch down, hut the safety stopped him on the 20 yard line. Kennings scored after Athena's defense had stiffened and held the locals for three downs on the one foot line. The third counter was added by Newell on a pretty 50 yard run that followed a fake. The game with Athena was the last home contest of the season. To morrow Hermiston will play Pasco, and on Thanksgiving they will play the strong Wasco team. Last year Wasco defeated Hermiston on the lo cal grounds, and the boys will try to even the count. Walenta’s crew has given a good account of itself this year. The team has been defeated twice in seven con tests, Kennewick and McLoughlin turning the trick. Neither team has suffered a defeat during the season. Hermiston’s lineup against Athena was as follows: Griggs,center; Earn heart and Upham, guards; D. Par- song and Robinson, tackles; G. Par sons and Smith, ends; McKenzie and Felthouse, halves; Newell, full; and Kennngs, quarter. Substitutions: Dyer for Felthouse, Addleman for Upham and Ott for Earnheart.
