I
near Caleba few months ago, WAS last
week convicted Of mutdet in the second
degree and sentenced 10 the penten-
tiary for term Of 80 years. 1t IL

have been sent up for life.--Antelope

Our brass band Is reconsidefing the
matter Of playing at Olex on the 4th and
have about concluded TO go anyway and
do the best they can. The boys had
only couple Of months practice, so no
one will expect as much Of them as if it
were an old band. The band will decide
at It's next meeting whether they will go
or not.
Frank Shurte, OF the wide.awake firm
Of Shurte Bros. OF Arlington, made q
trip out through the county this week In
the interest Of the Arlington Fossil stage
line, Of which he is now manager. Be-
fore Mr.. Parker's death he asked Frank
to manage the stage business until all of
his affairs are settled. The business
could not be in safer or better hands.
On Wednesday evening last Ed Hale
and Chas. Dobbins became involved in
fight at the Belyedere saloon, during
which Hale stabbed DobbiDs in the
neck, nearly reaching the jngular.
Dobbins made good fight, however,
with nothing but natures weapons for
defense. Hale was arrested but some
sort OF settlement was hed.-Hepp-
ner Gazette.
The beauties Of our election laws were
well illustrated on election day when
lot Of transients who we're employed on
the Oak Grove ditch were allowed to
vote, and one OF the Oldest residents Of
The Dalles was disfranchised because his
family is temporarily living outside the
city. II Oregon needs one thing more
than another 1t 10 a strict registration
law.-T.-M.
We learn that Geo. Wright, who ship
ped 6000 head of sheep from here to
Montana couple Of weeks ago, had the
entire shipment quarantined for six
weeks at some point in Montana, owing
to some Of the sheep being afflicted with
scab. Geo. came back madder than a
wet hen, and he cannot be blamed for
being mad either, for it 10 all at bis ex-
pense, besides.
l.. W. Darling, ii. n. Frazer and Ed
Nelson attended the unwilling of the
W. o. W. monument at the grave Of
Wesly frum in Arlington Sunday. They
say the exercises were very beautiful.
The monument is about 6 feet high and
is made Of sand stone but represents a
stump, with limbs cut off, and is beauti-
fully engraved with letters and emblems
Of the order.
Since the election returns are all in
and the official count made, there is
considerable Of change in the congress
ional vote. Both the republican candi-
dates are elected-Tongue, in the 1st
district, by majority of "a, and Ellis,
in the I'd district, by majority of $50.
This is sad blow to both the populist
candidates-Vanderburg and Quinn,
who we're certain week ago that they
were the lucky muldoons. There's
many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip"
1t was close shave, especially for
Tongue.
Max Putt, the Mitchell miller, has ac-
cepted the proposition recently made
him by the people Of Mayvile and will
move bis mill over at once to Mayville.
The Mayville people agreed that if he
moved his mill there they would loan
him $500, he agreeing to pay within
five cents OF the Arlington price of v heat
and to give 80 lbs Of mill feed in ex-
change for bushel OF wheat, the mill
to be in running order for this years
crop. This will he a decided improve
ment and great benefit to the whole
Mayville country.
Hon. L. B. Dufur, democrat, defeated
his republican opponent Moore for joint
senator IL votes in the three counties
Gillian, Sherman and Wasco, which
have republican majority of over
700. This is remarkable victory for
and nice compliment to Mr.. Dufur,
who is one of the brightest lawyers in
the state. He beat his opponent in the
latter's own county (Sherman) IS votes.
The interests of the three counties will
be in safe hands and carefully looked
after by the new senator, as they we're
also by the retiring officer, Hon. W. W.
Steiwer.
The long-looked-for Examiner prize
drawing took place last week. Very few
0regonians won anything of any value
this time, and Gillian countyites were
ignored almost entirely. The only per-
sons in this county whose names are on
the list are Joe Anthony OF Fossil, silk
umbrella, and Albert Smith OF Condor,
a fishing rod. The $4,000 farm was
