Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1895-03-15

Mrs. Charity Ramsey Of Thirtymile
was in town Monday with load OF very
fine apples, which she sold at n 90 per
busbel. She presented the GLOBE with
box Of choice seedings. and We know
whereof we speak when we remark that
they are good things to eat. The Ram
sey ranch and orchard is among the
best on the creek. The ranch being
situated as it is--in the bowels OF the
earth--the cold and frost never peDe-
trates 1t. They left their potatoes lying
on top Of the ground all winter, with
only few potato tops on for cover. and
they did not freeze.
Geo. Jack, an industrious farmer, ar
rived here last week from the Palouse
country with his family, and has filed
on homestead lying just south Of
Oliver Wards place about three miles
southeast Of town. He says number
Of families from that section intend TO
come to this section this spring TO locate,
bnt can not leave Palouse for several
weeks yet, owing TO the deep snow up
there. They are all welcome and there
ia. plenty Of room here for more. This
country needs more citizens with indus
try and enterprise--and fewer loafers,
deadbeats, chronic GROWERS and moss

Married--In the Methodist church at
Fossil on Sunday evening, March 10,
1895, Mr.. w. w. Hoover and Miss Daisy
Kelsay, both of that town. Rev. w. II.
Zellers performed the ceremony In the
presence Of very large number Of
friends. After the ceremony the happy
young couple and number Of guests
repaired to the brides home, where a
grand supper was enjoyed. They were
the recipients Of great many beautiful
and useful wedding presents. The con-
tracing parties are among the best and
most popular people Of the country, and
host OF friends join the GLOBE in
wishing them happy voyage over the
sea Of matrimony. Sheriff Wilcox and
family Of this place were among the
guests.
That notorious horsethief and fugitive,
Hugh Medlock, has "bobbed up' again.
Friday evening Of last week he came to
the home Of Del Rice, three miles north
Of town, where bis wife has been stop
ping for month or more. Medlock
wanted her TO go with him but she re-
fused, and he then tried to catch her
horse that was in the pasture, but failed
in that also. Word was quickly sent to
Sheriff Wilcox who, armed with war
rant and accompanied by Tom Johnson
and Jay +. Lucas, started out to bag the
game. Medlock got wind Of what was
going on, and lit out across the country
in the direction OF Rock creek, via Six
Mile, his horse Grained for the purpose)
jumping the barbed wire fences with the
agility Of deer. By the time the sher-
itf and his deputies got out there he had
over an hours start OF them. They could
not follow him through the fields and
were obliged to keep in the roads, which
afforded the fugitive an excellent chance
to escape, which he did, crossing Rock
creek one mile above the French place.
After hunting most of the night without
success the officers gave up the chase
and returned home. A short time ago
Medlock was so hard pressed by the
Pendleton officers that he was forced to
abandon the horse (which he stole from
Billy Brown of Lone Rock] and Mr..
Brown went over to Pendleton last week
and recovered his property.
