SOTA INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY
FOR TRIPLE KILL
John Anthony Sota was indicted
Monday by the Umatilla County
grand jury on three separate indict
ments charging the young gunman
with first degree murder of Mrs. Cora
Tobin, her son, Kenneth Gorsuch, and
her nephew, Marvin Adams, at the
Tobin ranch near Hermiston Septem
ber 25.
C. C. Proebstel, district deputy at-
torney, stated this week that it had
been learned that Sota worked for
J. A. Terteling & Sons for several
days at the Umatilla Ordnance Depot
and had been issued a check for $8.10
dated August 31. At the depot, Sota
gave the name as John V. Edgar and
registered as 21 years of age. Since
his arrest, however, Sota has main
tained that he is only 16 years oid.
Arraignment has been postponed
due to the absence of Judge C. L.

George Carr. Other officers included:
recorder, Glenn Williams; treasurer,
John D. Rice; marshal, S. D. Phay:
councilmen, F. B. Swayze, L. W. Da
vis, H. T. Irwin, H. E. Hanby, J M. |
Griffin and E. C. McMillen.
Apparently there was quite a
struggle in progress during that time
as to the location of the city hall. S.
R. Oldaker and others offered two
lots on the west side of the tracks if
the city would build a hall and jail
at the cost of $1.500. In addition,
they offered a bonus of $250 if the
building were built within a year.
The east side contingent made a
counter proposal, offering the city
the use of two lots for the price of
$1 if the city would build a structure
costing at least $2000, with a bonus
of $500 if completed within a year.
This group was led by Newport and
Skinner. On August 21. 1907, the
council accepted the bid of the lat-
ter, purchasing Lots 23 and 24, Block 1
8, for the sum of $1.00.
At that time a jail 12 X 14 feet |
was constructed at the cost of $250. I

Probably the biggest game of the
year for the Hermiston high Bulldogs
will be played on the local field Sat
urday when the Pendleton high school
football eleven comes for the annual
encounter. Hermiston has not defeat

three 6-0 games have been played in
recent years. Pendleton has won the
past two years by lop-sided scores.
Pendleton again comes to Hermis-
