Crime They Have a a-Year-Old Ikaugliier. The woman who gave her name as Mrs. John Martin and panted five worthless checks for $25 each on lo cal merchunu a few weeks ago, has been arrested at Itozcman, Mont., and Is now under a five-years sen tence for the same crime there. Information to this effect was re ceived lust evening by Sheriff Taylor, and a picture of tho woman waa sent him for Identification. Immediately after tho forgery occurred here the sheriff notified the authorities at Baseman along with others In the northwest, and they were on the look out for the woman. Consequently, when a woman giving the name of Mrs. John Walters, waa arrested there for passing worthless checks, aha was found to also tally with the descrip tion -sent from the sheriff's office here. Among other things In her pos session there was a pair of shoe bearing the name of Tee Teutsch. and Mime letters. Indicating she had been In Pendletou. A picture of the wo man waa also among the effects, and this was sent here for Identification. On receiving the picture last even ing Sheriff Taylor made the rounda of the merchants who bad been bun coed, and the same was identified aa the woman who hud swindled them. The most satisfactory Identification was that of Clerk Taylor. In tho Bos ton Store. Ho was approuched last evening by the sheriff, who said: I want 'to show you a picture of a friend." On looking at the photo the clerk noted the likeness to the woaoan swindler and waa about to mention the fact, but checked him self with. "I was about to say some thina. but J kuohk 1 had better not if she la a friend of yours." However. the sheriff was willing to hear the worst about his "friend," and was sat isfied with the Identification. As the woman and her husband ate now both under sentence for for gery In Montana, they will not be brought back here for : trial. How ever, a warrant for their arrest was sent the sheriff at Baseman to be served In case they should come clear of the charge there. But evidently the pair thought It better to plead guilty to the one charge rather than be brouKht hack to Oregon for trial. A 6-year-old child .Is mi lit to have been with them, and that the mother .asked that she be allowed to take her .offspring to the penitentiary .with her, ;but the request wnB refused.

Judge Stephen A. Ixiwell formally welcomed the party to the city In a few approprlale nnd happy remarks. saying In substance that the hand of friendship Is always extended to the visitor from Pendleton, nnd that it I was hoped that closer intermingling ! of Portland and eastern Oregon peo ple would be more and more a part of each year's program, hereafter. After the words of welcome had been extended to the party Chairman Alexander of the reception committee, in his usual happy vein, suggested that the crowd now divide Itself, "some go ing east, some west, some north and some south," over the city, inspecting business houses and making the visit ors acquainted with the resources and spirit of Pendleton.

The excursionists were supplied with a dining car and a selected corps or cooks, porters, waiters, and hnndy men from the Commercial club of Portland and the menu which was served In the diner was something to stimulate to the answer that was filed some time ago to the suit.
