Mrs. Poorman's AssaiIant Put Under
$1,000 Bonds


AL. Lawson, the man charged with the
criminal assault on Mrs. Poorman was
brought before Justice Doherty this af-
ternoon at two o'clock. Lawson waved
examination and was bound over in the
sum of $1,000 sum SO ridiculouslv
small that it is only justified by the fact
that neither the justice nor Mr.. A. r.
Thompson, who appeared for the state
believes that it can be procured. Quite
crowd was gathered around the Office
OF the justice as the marshal marched
Lawson from the Jail and it was perfect
ly evident that it only wanted leader
to have dealt roughly with the prisoner.
Mrs. Poorman was able to ride down to
the Office in the sheriff's buggy, and the
sight of the poor old lady, with her ear
and face bearing the marks of having
been bitten by the brute, and her broken
arm in sling, was enough to melt the
stoutest heart.
We learn from Prineville papers that
wool men, in that neighborhood, are
hauling their wool to the Willamette
valley and realizing 20 cents pound for
it. If this is true, and it cannot with
reason be questioned, as names and dates
are given, it argues something wrong in
The Dalles market.
