The UutIip Case.

7. G. Cutlip, until last fall a lawyer
of this city, now of Kingfsher, Oklaho-
ma, was brought here last Wednesday
afternoon by Sheriff Dobson. from
Guthrie, to answer complaint filed by
his brother-in-law, .. Mills, of Lake
City township. The charge against
Mr.. Cutlip is obtaining signature TO a
note under false pretenses. 1t will be
remembered that this case was started
last winter. Cutllp owed a note at the
Citizens bank; Mills was his surety;
the note became due and Cutlip went
to Mills with new note for a small
Ter amount and obtained his
signature to it, saying he would use it
to take up the old note. Instead of do
ing so, Cutlip discounted the last note
and let Mills pay them both. The case
was started in the district court, but
dismissed without prejudice some time
since. Cutlip had promised to settle
the two notes and his brother-in-law
did not care to prosecute him.
Cutlip was up from Oklahoma, a few
weeks ago. but did not settle his
troubles. Last week the complaint
was again filed before Justice Wood
ward and the coanty attorney made ap-
plication to the governor of kansas for
"a requisition on the governor of
Oklahoma for Cutlip. Sheriff Dobson
took the papers to Topeka and from
there to Guthrie where he found Cutilp
attending the first session of the court
of that territory. IN order TO create as
little trouble for Cutlip as possible, the
sheriff obtained permission of Governor
Steele to make the arrest and the gov
ernor made his own return on the war.
rant and SO the other 1877 Oklahoma
lawyers VINO were at Guthrie to be adj
mitted to practice did not know of the
arrest of one of their number.
When arranged here, Cutlip waived
preliminary examination and was re-
leased on giving bond for $50, his sur
cites being Attorneys Noble and Nc.
Cague, of this city. He returned to
Oklahoma the next morning.

Suing the Sheriff.

A $1,000 damage suit against Sheriff
DobsOn was filed last Saturday, by At
torney A. j. Jones, for his client, Geo.
r. Hodges, of Aetna township. Sew
eral weeks ago a brother of George R..
Hodges was arrested here on complaint
of II. E. Noble, who charged him with
running mortgaged property out of the
state. The sheriff permitted him the
liberty of going to see MI. Noble late
at night, to endeavOr to settle the case,
and, while enjoying that privilege,
Hodges made his escape, and has not
been heard of since. The sheriff and
his deputy started out to find Hodges
and went to the place where his bl other
George K. Hodges, was camped, in the
western part of town, and, failing to
find the man wanted, they arrested his
brother, and put him in Jail, and kept
him there, he alleges in his petition
about thirteen hours. He claims that
he was not his brothers keeper, knew
nothing about his escape from the sher-
| if, and, in fact, was in bed and ASLEEP
when the officers arrived at his camp
| He wants $4,000 for false Imprisonment
Sheriff Dobson's bondsmen are j. p

bell, Of KiOwa, and they are made par

may be of interest to state just here
that the father of the Hodges boys has
paid up his sons Indebtedness to Noble
& Nixon, and that his prosecution viii
not likely be pushed any further unless
the sheriff desires to prosecute him fol
escaping from an officer.

It is not pleasant to view a field

1t is not pleasant to view field Of
battle after defeat, ano it may be ex-
pected that Republicans will exhibit
more or less bitter feeling over the
election of Pennoyer when the state
is so largely Republican. Mr.. Her
mann will be elected by 1000 more
votes than he was two years ago, and
the state ticket, with the exception of
Mr.. Thompson, will receive handsome
majorities. No sane man can give
any reason why a Republican should
scratch Mr.. Thompson's name for Mr..
Pennoyer, and the only cause to be
assigned is that there are more sense
less people in Oregon than in any
other state in the union. Hon. D. P.
Thomson was not our first choice; but
as the campaign progressed and we
became better acquainted with him
we were very favorably impressed, and
conscientiously supported him as
competent candidate for the chief ex-
ecutive of the state. But, notwith-
standing the defeat of Mr.. Thompson,
the victory for the Republicans is very
pronounced. We have gained one
officer on the state ticket, and the leg
islature is safe.

chickering's engendered by the contest.
and again work in harmony for our
local interests. In this portion Of the
northw est we have transportation
schemes which shold be pushed to an
early completion. The country in
this vicinity, which is rich in all nat.
ural resources, should be developed ny
the exercise of energy and enterprise.
Thanks to the freedom of our institu-
tions it makes little difference to the
individual citizen whether there is a
Republican or Democratic governor at
the helm of affairs in Oregon, and in
either event should business be
affected In the least. Some sys-
TEN of waterworks should be inaug-
urated Immediately, so that our cit
izens could hold out inducements to
people desirous of making homes in
our beautiful city, and who are only
debarred therefrom by lack of good
water. The transportation company
should not waste any time in matur-
ing the project, as boats should be on
the river to move the crop this fall.
We have had sufficient political recre-
alton to last us for the next two years;
now let us attend to business and the
best interests of the city.

Oregon always fires the first gun,

in the union. Two years ago presi-
Dental campaign had begun in earn

two great parties had to be passed
upon by the voters. To-day is simply
state and county election, with no

gressional parts of the ticket. These
will indicate the strength of the par
ties 1t may be expected that the

Of the discontented classes, who seek
to theorize upon questions which have
taken the wisest men years of actual
experience to determine. Another
important and unknown factor is the

The vote in Oregon last Monday

The vote in Oregon last Monday
must he taken as an endorsement of
the action of the Republican admin
istration Of President Harrison
and of the present congress. There
is no use for Democrats to say
that Republicans are not what
they were once. The people of
the country have the same attraction
for the old party they always had and
have perfect confidence in its admin
istration Of national affairs. They
know the old party saved the union,
restored confidence and credit to the
currency, and can be trusted in any
emergency. Democracy has no ma
tienal principles, and has not had
for over twenty-five years. The
policy which has raised the nation
to its present standing was originated
by Republicans, and the organization
is still firmly grounded in the old
principles. Take out of the contest
the Union party and Republicans will
carry Oregon by oyer 5000. There is
considerable vitality and vigor in the
organization, and this will always re-
main while the republic requires
sagacity and patriotism.

ans-have been duped into support
ing a man who has never been in har
mony with single national principle.
We do not cay, nor do we believe that
Mr.. Sylvester Pennoyer is dishonest
man in any of his dealings; but simply
that he has drilled under Democratic
tactlcians, and believes that the end
in every instance justifes the means.
Undoubtedly he was conscientious
when he wrote the editorials for
the Portland Herald maligning
Abraham Lincoln, opposing the four
teenth ard fifteenth amendments, and
antagonizing every measure for the
supremacy of the union during the
''late unpleasantness"; but Rspubli-
cans must know when they voted for
hun they endorsed all his utterances.
We cannot understand how the human
mind can be so deluded as to supper,
a candidate who is SO opposite to every
patriotic principle; but in cool, phil
osophic consideration, we have come to
the conclusion that men are similar to
cattle, and can be swayed by any wild,
empty howl. There is no use in cry
ing over "spilled milk" and lamenti.g
disasters which could not he averted,
and, therefore, with the best grace i'm
aginable, we bow to the inevitable de-
cree of the sovereign people and will
have fresh courage for the fight in
1892.

THE BATTLE.

As we write the ballot contest Is
raging fiercely all over the state, and
the different political organizations are
using every inducement to secure votes
for the different candidates. 1t is too
early yet tc state the result, although
we have felt well assured from the
commencement that the Republicans
would be successful, from the manner
in which the compaign was conducted.
Democratic speakers used all their
efforts to bolster up the fortunes of
their candidate for governor, and ap-
peared to completely forget there were
other candidates on the ticket. They
not only made 1t a campaign for Gov.
Pennoyer, but one of villiication of
Hon. D. P. Thompson, the Republican
candidate. Such course is bound to
re act, and arouse the greatest activity
of the friends of the prosecuted person.
We believe this will be the effect in
Oregon, and as result of the votes
cast in the state to day, the whole Re-
publican ticket will he elected and
that Hon. ID. P. Thompson will be the
next governor of this commonwealth.
1t is apparent that there has been
considerable scratching" and that
electors have exercised the elective
franchise with intelligence and indie
pendence. There can be no doubt that
this has been true of the county
tickets, and it is generally true in all
elections. Personal likes and dis
likes Will be consulted, and personal
friendship will frequently overcome
party affiliaticn. For this reason it is
difficult to predict the result on county
tickets, however Republican or Dem
ocratic the county may be. By the
time this issue reaches our readers the
last ballot will have been placed in the
box, and the fat of the people Of Ore
gon given in favor of ore of the parties.
It is too early to rejoice; out coming
events cast their shadows before, and
we are in the most agreeable mood.

Georgia Wild Men.

Two wild colored men are roaming
through the woods in Jackson county.
A short while since old MiIledge Bennett
was suspected of being crazy. He had
lived for some time in jackson county
and had two children, boy and girl,
who stayed around him continually. The
old man was brought before the Qrdin-
sry's court of inquiry on writ of lunacy,
and was adjudged insane and accordingly
sent to the asylum.
His two children had by this time
grown up to be of considerable size, and
when the old father was sent away to
Milledgeville they put right off into the
woods. They have lived in the woods
noW for some time and are raving mad.
They have lost what little civilization
they possessed, and are now back on the
level of beasts. Their presence creates
terror, ana they have fun sway where
they roam. They hardly ever come out
to the view of mankind, but prefer to
stay 10 the woods. They live upon corn
and whatever food they can lay their
hands upon. They have with them
several things which they took from their
nome, among them fierce bulldog, WHICH
mas grown as wild asia tiger.

The legislature is Republican

The legislature is Republican by a
good working majority, and the cleo
tion of successor to Mr. Mitchell of
the same party affiliation is assured.
As far as the River and Harbor bill Is
concerned Oregon has been treated
very literally, and there is no occasion
for complaint. But there are other
matters that require attention. For
years the settlers have anxiously
waited for the forfeiture Of the N. P.
land grant from Wallula to Portland,
and have been disappointed. In some
instances this railroad land has been
farued and crops raised. The uncer
tainty of the title is such that settlers
do not want to make improvements,
and this works great hardship. Two
years ago the senate forfeiture bill was
defeated by Democratic house; but
nov congress and the administration
are in harmony AMI something should
be done. We have heard no names
mentioned for y. S. senator yet, bu,
believe that the people east of tn.
Cascade mountains are entitled to the
ssndidate. Western Oregon has had
.he senators and representative every
'ession-exeept ne,-and we believe
he time has come for Eastern Oregon
