Arwoed Russell Case in Court
Pendleton May 4 Special At a late hour this afternoon no action had been taken in the Roesch on Union county arguments testing the validity of the local option law in Union county because of the sheriff's failure to pend section notices. The appeal in the Russell vs R and N was argued before the supreme court today with a late conclusion. It is believed Union county local option use will be commenced tonight or tomorrow morning. Norton Case Resting The sensational charges against Victories Norton of Baker City were not pursued today as the matter was held in abeyance. A report that the affidavits were drawn on order of Chief Justice Knowles of La Grande is fabrications. He is hearing a case in the Circuit Court and has no connection with the supreme court fracase.
