SCISSOR Henry P. Dalton, who, by the re-
cent opinion OF District Attorney Shook to

Sapping Her Resources.
VANCOUVER, r. c., July 31.-Al-
though British Columbia is seldom If ever
affected with destructive winds or dam
aging storms she now has more than her
share of trouble from discordant elements.
Too much water has destroyed her crops
along the flooded Fraser Valley. The
serious results arising from the floods
are scarcely considered before a protracted
period of dryness or lack of water has
caused devastating fires and drying-up of
crops.
On Sumas Mountain, up the Fraser,
several settlers have been burned out. At
AIbern1 the York mining claims have
suffered, and many thousand dollars
orth of damage has been wrought along
the line OF the Nanaimo and Esquimalt
railroad.
On the northern coast several logging
camps have peen burned out and magnif-
cent timber limits destroyed.
To the south, along the line OF the Great
Northern Railroad, in United States terri
tory, barns fences and railroad-ties are
being destroyed.
Besides the destructive fires crops are
suffering very much, particularly at
Comox, where it is stated that nearly all
growing crops of fruit, vegetables and
grain are being burned up by the sun. II
rain does not come soon further serious
damage is bound to result.

Cen iition.

FRESNO, CAL, July 31.-Peter Griest,
thrown from a cart in which he was riding
and killed to-day. The fatality happened
in Reedley, in front of a blecksmith-shop.
Judge Griest was driving fractlous horse,
which became frightened at a windmill at
the side of the street and ran away. The
animal ran into vacant lot adjoining the
srop, where q big farm wagon stood.
Griest's horse dashed the cart against the
wagon with such force as 10 throw the
Judge out on the ground. He struck on
his head, and when people arrived a few
minutes later he was breathing his last.
The base of the skull had been badly frac.
tured.

the jury was accidental death.
Judge Gr;est was IS years of age at the
time of his death. He was one of the
leading citizens of Reedley, having been q
resident there for many years He was
one of the leading Republicans in the
county. he leaves family.
Judge Griest was an experienced horse
man, and how the horse could get beyond
his control is not known. He ought st
least to have been able to turn his horse
away from the wagon and thus avoid the
fatal accident. 1t is supposed that the
unfortunate mau let line slip and in this
manner the horse got away from him.
James Dinan, an employe of the Fresno
Canal and Irrigation Company, was to-day
fatally injured by being thrown from a
horse while engaged IN cleaning the bot
tom of the canal of rubbish three miles
east OF this city. The horse was hooked

FOSSIL, o., July 31.-J. III. South has
just brought word of desperate battle
between sheepmen and cattlemen on Snew
Mountain, southwest of Canyon City, in
Grant County, which took place about
week ago. Mr.. South was at Muddy Sta
ton when the Mitchell Antelope stage
driver brought word to Mr.. O'NeiI, mana
ger of the Prineville Sheep and Land
company's employees, was one of three
sheepmen killed, two cattlemen- being
also slain. Another of the sheepmen
killed was Ernest Sherar, nephew of
Joseph Sherar, the well-known wool
grower and buyer. Young Sherar was
known to number OF Fossil people as
the pitcher of tine Antelope Baseball Club.
For years he has been huying and shipping
sheep for his uncle, and on the occasion OF
the battle he with several others. includ-
ing Mr.. Kitchen, was driving a baud of
sheep across the country to the railroad,
presumably to Huntington for shipment.
There have been so many fake "sheep
fights" in Grant County this year that
this NAV be like the others-simply made
up in order to scare sheepmen from going
into the mountains with their flock, but
this story in that it gives the names of
somes of the killed and was accepted as
true by Mr.. O'Neil has symptoms of truth
in 1t.
The fight took place on Snow Mountain
and was continuation of the war that has
been raging for some time in that part of
Oregon. This battle was one of the most
desperate and bloody that has yet taken
place.
There has been hard feeling for a long
time between the cattle and sheep men in
that part of Oregon. Mum berless disputes
have taken place over the possession and
use of the ranges, the cattlemen asserting
that the sheep drove the cattle from the
ranges. There has been much hard talk,
but until recently no bloodsned. Within
the past month, however, there have been
two bloody fights. It is thought probable
that the authorities will now take some
action to prevent a recurrence of the
trouble.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 31.-W. II. Shene-
man arrived in Chicago yesterday after a
long ride by wheel from Seattle. He left
the Pacific Coast June l on touring trip,
expecting to reach Columbus, Ohio, by
October 1. After be had crossed two States
on his journey, he had made such good
time that he decided TO keep as far ahead
OF his schedule as he could. Until Omaha
was reached Sheneman averaged seventy
five miles a day. There he encountered
heavy roads AMI rainy weather and was
delayed eleven days.
Shortly after leaving Seattle he reached
the desert which extends from Prosser
Falls to Umatilla. This was the most
perilous part of the trip, and in attempt
ing to cross the thirty-tve miles of sandy
fields the tourist nearly lost his life. He
could not ride the wheel through the sand
and had to dismount and push it
All the water in his canteen had been
consumed before he had covered half the
desert, and when he reached the Column
bia River he fell exhausted on the bank.
with the exception of the desert and
the rainy spells, said he, ''the trip was
most enjoyable. The Western country,
with its mountain scenery, is the ideal ex-
cursion for cyclists. The roads are in
