Salem to deliver Karris Ridings, the .
self confessed horse thief, at the peni
tentiary. The travel between Heppner and

not heretofore been the rule In this
county there are three In operation

Judge H. S. Bean came over from
Pendleton Monday In order to accom
modate Harris Ridings with an early
trial on a charge of horse stealing, as
the prisoner was anxious to have the
matter settled. He secured Attorney
C. E. Woodson's services, but refused
to withdraw his plea of guilty, which
he had confessed to Sheriff Shutt, and
all his attorney could do was to ask the
clemency of the court in passing sen
tence upon his client. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney S. E. Notson appeared
for the state. The judge made the
sentence one year in the penitentiary.

some member of the home without
warning. Chamberlaln.s Colic, Choi
era and Diarrhoea. Remedy, which
is the best known medicine for these
