THE WALLA WALLA STYLE.
The Compliments of the Season Ex-
changed In the Court Room.

The Compliments of the Season Ex'
changed in the Court Room.
They had law suit in Walla Walla
the other day, and according to the
Union it was shot number" At
torney Dovell, for the defense refused
TO introduce any testimony, relying
upon that of the prosecution, and the
argument was made. We print a
small section of the same, from each
side. The Union says:
'Turner addressed the jury in his
own behalf He said he had expected
to make his speech entirely upon the
evidence which would be presented by
Cavanaugh and was therefore unpre-
pared. He consumed ten minutes,
however, in heaping vituperations
upon Attorney Dovell and his client,
applying to the latter such epithets as
sliar," ''thief." "scoundrel," "crim-
inal," and Coward" Cavanaugh, he
said was afraid to go upon the stand.
81 have always had the highest re-
gard for Mr.. Dovell," he said. "and
hoped he might reach the highest
round in the ladder of his profession,
but am sorry to see him the boon
companion of such a contemplate and
cowardly criminal as P. ]. Cavan-
augh." He closed with diatribe |
against lawyers in general saying that |
it was well-known fact that they were
dishonest and that their Oaths would
not be taken upon the witness stand.
Then the attorney got his innings
and handled the bat as follows:
~ charge J. NJ. Turner with being
self-confessed perjurer," cried the elo-
quent young attorney, with dramatic
gesture. "There were only two facts
to which he swore positively in his ex-
animation. One was that his name
was J. NJ. Turner and the other was
the one in which he confessed TO hav-
ing sworn to lie in the justice court,
during his preliminary examination
for embezzlement, in order to save
himself from the penitentiary."
In speaking of the motive which in ..
spired Turner to induce Mrs. Rogers
to bring the suit Mr.. Dovell said:
For the ten minutes Of personal
qualification in which he was per-
mitted to abuse Mr.. Cavanaugh before
you, he has cherished his hatred for
over a year, has brought Mrs. Rogers
into court, the witnesses and put the
taxpayers to great expense. In that :.
zen minutes he purged himself of all
MS vindictiveness and all his rotten
spleen. I warrant you he feels better
since he has vOmited it up. If your l
Terdict is against him it will have the
effect of keeping him out of the courts,
he county and the state. Of course T
hat would not be as great benefit to {
Mr.. Turner as it would be to the courts a
md the community" X
Mr.. Dovell closed with the following Fl
'eroration: b
"The records of all the courts of the p
ounty are full of cases in which Tur- W
er has figured. They tell story of III
is lying, or his cheating, or his rob- b.
ing somebody, and if you, gentlemen it
the jury, do not set the seal of your il
upon him he will go on ly- OF
lg and cheating and robbing until OF
ne black hinges of hell swing in upon OF
is perjured SOUL" P
The instructions of the court were sa
len read and the jury returned ver- or
let for the garnishee defendant, P. J. hi

The Best Market.

Napoleon B. Hastain and VIM. Keys
returned from The Dalles Wednesday,
after delivering about 80 head of cat
tie there for the Union Meat Co., pur-
chased from them and others in this
section. They were well pleased with
the prices they obtained, having
gained about s1.50 per head by taking
the cattle to The Dalles. They sold
by weight and the COWS brought about
$3.50 and the two-year-old steers a
trihe over S25. One COW belonging to
Ed. Putnam brought over 500. Napo-
leon says The Dalles is lively, with lots
of wheat coming in, the price paid for
which last Saturday was 40 cents

Henri punant,s Old Age.

Henri Dunant, the originator of the
Red Cross movement, was found il
misery recently in little village il
Canton of Appenzell, in Switzerland
In his old age he was suffering in soil
tude from poverty and illness after
having devoted his fortune and his
prime to founding the association
which has relieved the distresses OF
thousands in all parts of the world.
AS soon as his situation became known,
most of the Red Cross committees of
Europe, including those of Brussels,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Madrid, set
to work to raise fund to relieve him. 1t
is now likely that he wilr end his life
in comfort. To prevent his being
overlooked or forgotten second time
the committees are going to publish a
memorial of his work.

A correspondent of the Moro Oh
server over. the signature of "Mer
chant" discusses the "Rattlesnake'
road proposition as follows:
Build that Rattlesnake road to The
Dalles and let Sherman county haul
all her wheat there and spend all her
| money there Patronize The Dalles
| merchants and what will the Sherman
county merchants do? Go out of busi-
ness? And where will the county
papers get their support from? And
what is to be done with the warehouse
property at Rufus. Biggs and Des-
chutes? And the men employed at the
warehouses? If the road is built and
does the work it is intended for, twill
be the worst blow the prosperity of
Sherman county ever received. 1t
will drive her merchants out of busi
ness; the editors will go hungry and
the money invested in warehouses and
at shipping points in Che county will
be virtually confiscated. 1t will in
crease the taxes on farm property
therefore, and it will drive a large part
of the population in the river towns
away. killing the towns. But build
the road by all means. The merchants
in the county who always have the
welfare of the farmers at heart, as it is
their own welfare, the men
who have worked early and late to |
benefit the county, have no rights to |
at the hands of the |
clique who are doing the bowling for
this rOad. The Dalles wants the road
ind the Sherman county money, and
that settles it.

A Mine of Information.

The register at the Umatilla House
contains many things besides the
Sinnott made practice of entering
upon it, the happening Of important
events and now the old files are verit-
able mine of information concerning
earlier days. We, noticed an entry
Wednesday, made at the Colonel's re-
quest, by an old townsman Mr.. James
Faris. For a number of years Mr..
Faris has been invited to his birthday
dinner at the Umatilla, and the en-
try was to the effect that the old
gentleman who, was S6 years old on
the 22nd, had got around to his dinner
just one day late.

CONCERNING ISOLATED LANDS.
What May be Purchased and How 1t Ma

| What May be Purchased and How 1t May
| AS we have received several letters
of inquiry concerning the law allowing
| the purchase of isolated lands, we print
the law, and also an extract from the
instructions of the commissioner of the
land office, to the officers of the local
land offices:
"Sec. 2455. 1t shall be lawful for the
Commissioner of the General Land Of
fee to order into market and sell for
not less than one dollar and twenty-five
cents per acre any isolated or discon-
nected tract or parcel of the public do
main less. than one quarter section
which, in his judgment, it would be
proper to expose to sale after at least
thirty days. notice by the land officers
of the district in which such lands may
be situated: Provided, That lands
shall not become so isolated or discon-
nected until the same have been sub.
ject to homestead entry for period of
three years after the surrounding land
has been entered, filed upon, or sold by
the government: Provided, that not
more than one hundred and sixty acres
shall be sold by any one person."
Approved February 26, 1895.
The instructions to the local land
officers are in part as follows:
Hereafter when an application is
made to you by any one for the proper
proceedings to be entered upon in or
der that any tract of land may be or
dered into market at public sale by the
commissioner of the general land Office
under said section, the applicant will
be required to furnish an affidavit
made by himself and duly corroborated
by two witnesses, setting forth the
character of the land; stating whether
it is covered with timber or contains
stone or any mineral, whether it is ag-
ricultural in character, for what pur-
pose the land would be chiefly valua-
BILE, and why he desires the same Or
dered into market. 1t must also be
shown that the tract is unoccupied by
any one having color of title thereto.
SIT will be observed that no lands
are subject to be ordered into market
as aforesaid until the same shall have
been subject TO homestead entrysfor

From Fridays Daily.

Mr.. M. T. Nolan went to Portland
this morning.
A slight breeze started up this after
noon, the first for several days.
With fair weather Sunday the excur-

Mr.. and Mrs. Dinsmore Parrish
went to Portland this morning to take

last night.
Abraham L. Disbrow and wife yes
terday sold to Marion F. 10y block 6

Hood River for the sum of 5000.
H. D. Dunham, OF hay Creek, de-
livered 116 head of beef at the stock
wards this afternoon. Mr.. Butler
bought the cattle and shipped them to

Spokane is trifle short on dogs ac-
cording to the Chronicle of that city
which places the number at $3.50.
That is only one dog for every five in
habitants, or one to each voter.
The trial of Professor Adams, at
Portland charged with assault and
battery in whipping small boy in the
Stephens school, was completed yes
terday, the jury finding him not guilty.
Two victims of inebriety were be-
fore the recorder this morning. One
forfeited his bail-S5, and the other
was fined $40, which up to the hour of
going to press he had not liquidated.
The chances are that the city treasury
will not be enriched at his expense.

Not Set by sheepmen.

Portland suburbs have been ex-
posed to dangerous forest fires. Sew
eral thousand cords of wood were
burned and had there been any wind
immense damage would have been
done to buildings. At Pleasant Home
the roof of the school house caught
several times, and it was only by hard
and persistent fighting that it and
other buildings were saved. The dan
ger is not over yet, nor will it be un-
til the rains set in, as the least wind
would cause general conflagration.
1t is needless perhaps to add that the
fires were not started by sheepmen,
though Mr.. Steele and some of his
Mazamas and Mazameresses may pos
sibly lay it on to them.

A Bad Finger.

BERTHE Baldwin, who went to Mt
Angel about month ago to attend
school, has been, we understand, il
the hospital twice since. When he
went away he had felop on one of his
fingers, but it was thought to be about
well. After getting to school it began
to trouble him and it became necessary
to have the finger cut open and the
bone scraped. Berthe has considerable
musical talent, and it is to be hoped
the trouble will not leave him with 6
stiff finger

Between Extremes,

The amount of business done here
these days is simply immense, but it
does not make news items. There is
decided failure of crops as far as the
newspaper material is concerned, and
there does not seem to be any hope of
an immediate Improvement. 1t is
writing to fill space now, for the sum-
mer outing is over and we are just
halfway between the period when
down by the sounding sea or in the
mountains beneath the whispering frs
two hearts beat as one and matches
are made; and that other period along
in November when the divorce mill
begins to grind.

Judge Leatherman, of Kansas, to
whom was referred the question as to
whether Corbett and Fitzsimmons
could fight at Hot Springs, decided the
other day that there was nothing in
the laws of Arkansas to prevent it. AS
soon as this decision was made known
both the loud-mouthed long-distance
lighters nearly injured themselves In
heir wild scramble to have the fight !
stopped. This was done by Corbett's
packers proposing postponement to
which Fitzsimmons' hackers, backed
~ Fitzsimmons, would not consent.
The result was that the fight was de-
Jared off. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
hat the big daily papers will now give

eeded rest, and let the bruisers alone.
