AdjudSed Insane.


Mrs. Sarah G. Linder, wife of Henry c.
Linder, living near Prescott, was brought
before Probate Judge Eagan on Friday
evening for examination as to her sanity by
Drs. n G. Blalock and j. E. Bingham, and
was adjudged insane. This is peculiar
case, and is classed as one of ''mania and
dementia." She is only 25 years old, and
the mother of two children, the youngest
being only two years old. She had her
first attack just after the birth of her first
child, the spell only lasting few days.
Another attack occurred about six months
since, that being also of short duration.
But twelve days. ago she was seized with
persistent mania, which has clung to her
ever since. Her husband, who made the
complaint, testified that she said she saw
and talked with the devil and claims to
have witches in her clothes, and also has
many other delusions. During portion of
the time her condition was manacal, she
having tried to kill her neighbors and her
children; the attacks seem premeditated,
though she has no design at suicide. Mrs.
Linder, when brought before the physicians
told the same story of interviews with the
devil, and stated that she had burned her
underclothes in an effort to drive out the
witches that infested them and the he'd
clothes to kill the devil. Her demeanor,
throughout the examination was that of a
crazy person, though she displayed no signs
of violence Sheriff Mcfarland will leave
for Steilacoom with her to-day. Mr.. Lind
er is deserving of sympathy, and it is hoped
that his wife will be speedily cured.

items from the Locks.


EDITOR TIMEs-M -MouNTANEER:
l write you to give an account OF thu
times at the Locks. We had a display o.
legal talent here last night. Our road
supervisor sued party for road taxes. Oul
Judge heard the case and convicted the par
ties, The defendants then introduced a
school dictionary to define an inbabitant,
and our honorable judge considered the die
tionary superior to the code, and so reversed
his decision and taxed the county with the
cost. We are all anxious to have the term
of Office of such justice of the peace ex-
pire. He was only selected for the fun Of
the thing, and they nave all become tired
of the fun.
We have a number of hoodlums here
working or pretending to work for the gov
ernment, such as tlme-keepers. assistant
clerks and others who do nothing only run
around the saloons and draw their salaries.
They rejoice at everything that is done to
thwart the legal officers from collecting
taxes. These same parties hooted at our
assessor when he was here, and all honest
citizens hope the time will come when
American citizens will be placed in charge
of this work and employ citizens to do the
work, where now there is not man in any
division that has the good OF the country at
heart There is a hoodlum element on the
works who would not be an ornament in
first-class society. They take delight IN
prowling around the town and disturbing
people by placing dead animals at their
doors, and other like jobs. We expected
something different on the change of the ad-
ministratlon. But no change is apparent.
I suppose the general government does not
know how these Norwegians manage things.
Can you let them know at the seat of gov
ernment?
1t is supposed that DIR. Candana will soon
go to Norway to permanently reside.
Mr. J. E. Andrews is visiting our town

went on the works to collect road tax, and
the Norway officer ordered HIM off. II Nor
way has charge of our government works it

tendent Reed has given orders that every
man on the works who does not board with

The UmatiiIa Reservation.

The Pendleton East Oregonian of Sept.
25th has the following regarding active
operations In the vicinity of the reserva-
tion:
"Two carloads of merchandise and camp
ing paraphernalia for the troops soon to
pitch their tents und light their campfres
on the Umatlla reservation, will be shipped
to Cayuse station tomorrow, the camping
point selected. A large number of troops
from points in Washington, are encamped
near Weston to-day, and will arrive to-mor-
row at the camp ground. A body of cav
alrv will camp at Pendletop tonight.
Troops from Vancouver and Portland are
probably not far distant. In short Pendle-
ton is surrounded by 1000 soldiers in battle
array, marching in this direction with all
due caution to prevent an attack from am
bushed foes. By tomorrow evening the
majority of Uncle Sans "sojer boys'' will
be concentrated at Cayuse station. Sunday
there will doubtless be an excursion of PEN
dletonians to the camp. As these troops
are supposed to be on the war path, their
wives and children have been left under the
protection Of the forts, hence there will be
no ladies at camp. 1t is said that the Cay
use Indians will get out in war paint during
the stay of the troops on the reservation,
and endeavor to outdo Uncle Sans boys in
graceful and entertaining maneuvers."

A Sad Case.
Co,faX Conmoner.


On Saturday last John Pickrell, of Palouse
City, was brought before the probate judge
at Colfax for an examination as to the
soundness of his mind. 1t was found that
the man was slightly insane, sufficient to
warrant his removal to the asylum at Steil-
accom-, where he was taken that evening by
Sheriff Mclean. The unfortunate man,
who is a brother of E. r. Pickrel, of Pa
louse City, is perfectly rational except upon
one point. He has an hallucination that
somebody is attempting to poison him,
through his meals, and this fear has led him
to be constantly changing his boarding
place. This diseased IMAGINATION is sup
posed to have been brought about by his
close application to his law books and seden-
tary habits. He came to this county about
two years ago, and for while studied law
with Messrs. Sullivan, Chadwick & Brown,
of this city. He was admitted to practice
at the June term of district court last. For
the past six months this insane idea has
been growing on him, and 1t was thought
best by his friends that he be sent to the
asylum, where it is hoped few weeks of
quietness and careful nursing will restore
him to his reason.

again. When he raised his pistol the last
time [ was holding my gun by my side, and
l pulled the trigger, both guns going oil
together. Looney fell; l guess | shot him
in the face. l saw blood on his cheek"
About four o'clock of that day Mrs. Hill
saw the sheep on the hill near the house
and called Looney's attention to them, and
asked if they were his. He replied that
they were not; that they must belong to
some stranger, and that he would 60 and
ask him to take them farther away. He
went over to the barn, got his horse and
started. The sheep were near the summit
of very steep hill. Looney's tracks show
ed that he rode part of the way and then
got down and walked, leading his horse.
Near the summit he had left his horse and
walked some six or seven steps to where he
had been shot. The body showed that he
had been shot in the left cheek, with large
gun, the bullet going straight through the
head, tearing the base of the brain and
shattering the skull at the back. He
pitched forward on his face, bruIsing his
forehead, and rolled down the hill some
twenty steps, lodging against sage brush,
the wound bleeding very freely, plainly
marking where he fell and every REVOLUTION
of the body. Thirty-fve steps away from
where he fell was found an empty cartridge
shell and the rag plug that had been in
Brose's gun. Between where the plug and |
shell were found and the place where Loon
ey fell there is small raise in the ground, |
and two men the size of Looney and Brose |
standing on these places could see no more
of one another than their heads and shoul-
ders; from where the horse was lett they |
could not see each other. Looneys body
was not found until II o'clock next day.
The following is the verdict OF the coro-
ners jury:
We. the jury summoned by H.. P. Belk-
nap, coroner of the county of Crook, to IN
quire into the cause of the death OF the
person found dead on Trout creek, in this
county, find that the deceased was named
Shields Looney, that at the time OF his
death he was a citizen of Crook county,
Oregon, and was about - years OF age;
that he came to his death on Sept 23d, 1859,
in Crook county, Oregon, from the effects
Of gunshot wound inflicted by gun held
IN the hands of one Gottefried Brose, and
We, the said jury, charge the said Cote
rled Brose, with deliberate and premedIta'
ed murder.

Shields L00ney Killed.

Prlnevliie News.
A little after noon on Tuesday of last
week F. G.. Brose rode into Prineville,
sought the sheriff, and announced to that
official that he had killed Shields Looney
the evening before near H. Taylor Hills
residence on Trout creek. Sheriff Combs
placed Brose in Jail and notified the proper
authorities. Attorneys Barnes and Moore,
the former having been employed on the de-
fense and the latter on the side of prosecu-
tion. started at once for the scene of the
killing. Later in the evening Coroner Belk.
nap was notified and he and Judge Sumner
also left for the scene of the killing. The
rest of the dreadful story Is told in the fol-
lowing correspondence:
The testimony taken before the coroner's
jury was to the effect that on the 23i Cote.
fried Brose and his herder had his, Brose's,
sheep on the hill just north of Taylor Hills
house, and only about quarter of mile
away. The sheep up to four o'clock of that
dsy had been in charge of the herder, who
was In the habit of carrying Winchester
rifle, in the muzzle of which he kept cloth
plug. During tine day the herder shot
rabbit, after which he left the empty shell
and the plug in the rifle. At about four
o'clock in the afternoon Gottefried Brose
came to the sheep and relieved the herder,
whom be sent with his team to his ranch,
three or four miles away, to do some har.
rowing. When the herder left he gave
Brose the gun. After dark Brose came to
the ranth where the herder was and knocked
at the door. On its being opened he came
in and said: II have killed Shields Looney;

you want?' He kept coming and saying,
