JOE HupsPETH ARRESTED.
A Mysterious Party of Men Break in
to Houses on the Mountain,

A Mysterious Party of Men Break in
to Houses on the Mountain,
The Milton Eagle reports that on
Wednesday last John Arrison, q
we'll known mountain man, came
to town and reported to the author
tiles that a party of men had brok-
en- into his cabin the night before
and robbed him of his entire stock
of provisions. Someone, presum-
ably the same party, had also TAX
en- a quantity of provision from
the cellar of Bill Fletcher. Arrison
said the men had been located and
their horses and saddles were then
in the possession Of a party of his
neighbors, but they, the mysterious
party, were in the brush in hiding.
Justice Stowe at once issued a
warrant and that evening, after
dark, constable Phillips, accom-
panied by Thurston Sutton, started
for the mountains with the pur-
pose of capturing the men if pos
sible. Messrs. Phillips and Sut-
ton returned at a late hour last
night, having in charge three head
of horses and one Joe Hudspeth, a
gentleman of some notoriety by
reason Of his connection with
the robbery of the hotel War
shauer in Baker City Oregon, last
winter. This man was caught in
the act of attempting to make way
with the outlaws horses and was
arrested in order to give him an
opportunity of explaining matters.
Somebody has spirited the sad
dies away, but whether this was
done by the outlaws or some of the
mountain people is not known,
The officers believe the horses cap
tured have been stolen from over
the mountains. They are small
but sturdy appearing animals and
evidence of having been ridden Q
long way over rough mountain
trails, They answer the following
description; One bay bald-faced
geldins, 15 hands high, with run,
ming brand JE or il on right shoul'
der, The brand is quite indistinct
One Appalouse mare, IA hands
high, branded with a connected JE
on left shoulder. One chestnut
sorrel gelding, Is hands high
branded AT on left hip. The
horses have all distinct saddle
marks.
Hudspeth was taken to Pendle
ton and placed in the county jai
by Deputy Sheriff Kimberk fol

appearing against him he was dis
charged.

The Chicago Audubon Society the Only
One of Its Kind.

The Chicago Audubon Society the Only
One of Its Kind.
The up-to-date woman may have po-
litical bees in her Sunday bonnet, it
she likes, but the Chicago Audubon So
cietv insists she shall not indulge in
dead birds. This fashionable adorn-
ment is emphatically declared to be
thoughtless cruelty. In word, the
object of this comparatively new and
unique organization of men and women
is the protection of birds. To this end
a monthly meeting is held, says the
Times-Herald.
So extensive has become the killing
of birds for feminine fashion that the
subject is attracting widespread atten-
tion among ornithologists. The Chi
cago Audubon society, however, claims
to be the only organization formed for
the condemnation of the use of birds
for millinery purposes.
At the regular meeting held the other
afternoon Rev. George Pratt read pa
per on Amateur Ornlthology," fol-
lowed by musical numbers. The au-
uleQCo was uA1uC VI AhOooAy Va WOiAASAA
who practice what they preach by not
wearing birds in their bonnets, though
they indulge in ostrich plumes, on the
plea that this does not necessitate the
killing of the bird.
There are eight million birds slaugh-
tered annually in the name of fashion,
said Mrs. e. Irene Rood, president OF
the society. Gas an organization we
propose to be instrumental in the pro.
lection of birds and in time introduce
such bills in the legislature. At present
we are much interested in the bill now
pending, which relates to the game
laws of illinois,
"The Chicago Audubon society is, ]
believe, the only organization of the
kind in the United States" she con
tinued. "There was one in New York
but it has disbanded"
The society numbers forty-four mem
bers and was organized several months
ago.

sTEAm,No HORSE MEET.
Cass Rogers Tells How 1t Is Going to
Be Done.


Cass Rogers, Of Butter creek, ac-
cording to the Pendleton Tribune,
is as full of his steamed horse
scheme as the heavens are of stars.
He corroborated the story which
was recently told about him
and elaborated upon its details. He
is following the example of Ne
braska farmers and is slaughtering
his horses and feeding their meat
to hogs and finds that equine flesh
is metamorphosed into porcine av-
ordupois with profitable results.
Mr.. Rogers has now a scheme by
which he will be able to improve
on this process. He will buy a
steam generator and connect it to
large vats which will contain horse
meat. The animals will be skin
ned, carefully dressed and dissect-
ed into quarters or eights. These
will be thoroughly cooked in the
vats, after which the contents will
be left to cool, The grease will be
SKINNED and sold for the manu-
facture of soap. Mr.. Rogers esti-
mates that one animal will yield
SO pounds of tallow. The meat
will be mixed with water and fed
as a slop to growing pigs. He ex.
poets to kill 10 horses week and
feed $50 pigs.
From his horse and hog story
Mr.. Rogers drifted to cayotes and
recounted the remarkable feats OF
his hounds. Last year, according
TO his tale, four Of his hounds as.
sisted by a tenacious bull dog,
caught and killed 120 cayotes.

viii Slaughter Horses.

Jade Switzler, Pendleton gen.
tIeman will deliver to a Portland
syndicate, 5000 range horses on
June 1. He will receive $5 per
head for them. IL is learned that
about one year ago small lot of
horses were slaughtered at Port
land as an experiment, and after
the flesh had been canned it was
sent to France. 1t is presumed re-
turns have been received and that
there will be a demand for more
horses after the Switzler lot has
been used. The projectors hope to
find in japan market for the
canned horsehesh.

thus far made comes from Mr.. 0.
R. Ballou, an intelligent, enterpris-
ing farmer, living near Milton.
He raised beets on trial, sent them
to Corvallis to test their intrinsic
sugar value, and his returns show
that the beets raised on his farm
realize 274 pounds of pure sugar to
the ton, and as it is no trick to
harvest from so to 80 tons of beets
per acre, you can easily get at the
profits which would arise from the
sugar beet culture, provided that
we had factory, where the
product could be utilized.

1T is reported that one of our local con-
temporarIes proposes to oppose the Work
ingman's Library and Reading room pro-
JeCt, because il is not intended to accom-
modate the general public, and would in
uerfere with The scheme TO establish Ii

Washington Times.
Since the Star has been the special
champion of Washington public library,
whether The proposed location has been the
new post-office building or any other place,
it is doubtless the contemporary referred
to. Inasmuch as there is Iot the smallest
particle of foundation for the report of al
legged antagonism, it would appear that
some malicious, mischief making imagina-
ton has been al work. The establishment
of a reading-room and library by a labor
organization for the benefit of its members
is a highly commendable undertaking, and
would not interfere in the slightest with
the general library project. 1t would not
claim to be q general library, and would
not sap the resources upon which such a
library must depend for its creation and
maintenance. On the contrary, like the
creation of small libraries in connection
with the high-Grade schools, it would en-
phasize the need OF books, and increase the
hunger for books, and would tend to hasten
the day when tie general circulating Ii
brary and reading rooms, adequately en-
dowed with books, shall be firmly estab-
lished as part of the local educational sys-
tenn, for the benefit of all the workingmen,
and all the school children, and all the

HUNTING FOR THE ROUGHS.
Police Department Determined to
Arrest Officer Greer's Assatlants.

Police Department Determined to
Arrest Officer Greer's Assailants.
Three officers in citizens attire were
detailed by Lieut. Gessford, of the Eighth
precinct, last night on a quiet hunt for
the young negro, Clarence Minor, who
was the principal in the brutal assault on
Policeman Greer, on Tuesday night.
Rumors were afloat that the much
wanted man was lettering around the
neighborhood of Eighteenth and streets,
but all efforts to locate him by the police
were futile. His old haunts, including
the house of his sweetheart, were searched
from garret TO cellar, but Minor did not
materialize.
1t was stated yesterday that several
warrants have been issued to the police
for the Arrest OF participants in Tuesday
nights affair, but the police deny that
more than one warrant has been procured,
and that is for Clarence Minor
The police have now little hope of catch
ing young Minor, as he is probably in vir-
ginia among his relatives.
Battle Minor has been taken from Freed
mans Hospital and committed to Jail.
Over one hundred citizens in the vicinity
or the assault, il is said, have volunteered
their services to hunt down the actors in
the mobbinG affair and to act as prose-
cutting witnesses when the hearing comes
UP in the courts
Several negroes have been canvassing
the neiehbOrhood trying to procure sig
natures OF persons willing to say the arrest
OF Battle Minor by Greer was uuiustifi-
able. The solicitation was failure and
residents to whom the paper was given
for their signatures, told the police OF it.
Greer is still in very serious condition
though resting much easier.

SUSPECTED THE DECK HAND,
Robbery of the Steamer Macanestel
R..sIIi... In, 4 a....-.--.

Robbery of the Steamer Macallester
Results In an Arrest.
The bar of The steamer Manchester was
broken into early yesterday morning and
S72 in cash and a pair OF trousers be-
longing to the bartender and a coat, the
property OF Joseph Lucas a deck hand, was
stolen.
The robbery was reported to police head
quarters and Detectives Carter and GalIaher
by prompt work, succeeded in locating
aud aTreStiGn the thief and recovering part
OF the stolen money and articles that had
been purchased with the rest of it,
When they investigated the matter at
the boat they found that Frank Pear. a
deck-hand, had been missing since the
robbery, and they at once suspected him.
Pear is colored, and had a sweetheart ID
Iackson's alley, so thither the detectives
went, and, as they expected, found the
suspect
He was attired in a rev suit of apparel,
from underwear out. and had purchased
two new guitars, evidently with part OF
the money stolen.
Fifty-twu dollars in cash was found on
his person. Pear stoutly denied any knowl-
edge of the affair, and claimed that the
money was his own.
He was arrested and locked up, however.
and the girl, Emma Hawkins, was also
held on suspicion of having concealed some
of the goods. The case will be further iu-
veStigated to-day.
