COURT AT UNION.
Important Case to Be Tried
Before Lowell.
SENTIMENT IS CHANGING
Keeley Cure is Eclipsed BY
the Potato Remedy.

The term Of circuit court conven.S
ing at Union will be a very long
and important one. Judge Lowell
ofthis district, will preside, Eakin
being occupied at present on the
bench at Pendleton. The term
will probably continue for three
weeks.
The most important case to be
heard is that of Kelsay Porter, who
is charged with the murder of the
three members of the Mache family
in Pine valley, on New Years day.
For the purpose Of throwing light
on the tragedy, the bodies of the
victims were exhumed last week
and an examination was made.
According to the evidence gathered
by the deputy district Attorney
who is to prosecute the case, it APP
pears that Porter expected the
coming Of the Maches by the road
passing near a shed. Armed With
o Winchester rifle with magazine
loaded full, he got on the shed and
awaited their approach. When
near by he opened fire on young
Mache, who was riding horse, a
bullet hitting him and causing him
to fall from the horse dead short
distance away. Porter then follow
ed the old people, who were in
sleigh, and shot at them, firing 16
shots at the mother and son pre-.
vious to killing the father. The
post mortem on the body Of the
elder Mache showed that his skull
was fractured, and it is thought
that after firing all the shells in
the magazine, Porter hit him with
the gun and then reloaded it and
fred two or three shots into the
body.
The Union Republican says the
officials are determined to investi-
gate this last killing In the "pan-
handle" of the county and make
the perpetrator suffer if the circum-
stances justify punishment. Dur
ing the past murders have been
committed in the locality where
the last tragedy occurred, and the
perpetrators allowed to go scot free
on perjured testimony or otherwise.
This state of things has come to
the point where the better class of
citizens deem it their duty to take
q hand for the sake of the good
name of the community. Such a
crime as Porter's calls for rigid in
vestigation.
Porter continues to keep silent
SO far as making any statement for
the benefit of the public is con-
cefned.
The case against him seems to
grow stronger as the time of his
trial approaches. and while there is
much sympathy for him in the east
end of the county, the sentiment in
other sections is very strong and
even bitter against him.
A public meeting was held in
Pine valley last week by the friends
of Porter, to raise money to assist
in the defense. J. NJ. Carroll and
Charles e. Cochran have been re.
tained as his attorneys, and every
effort will be made to create q
reasonable doubt in the minds oil
of the jurors to prevent q
verdict of murder in the first degree
The state will be represented By
the prosecuting attorney, assisted
by T. III. Crawford of Union. Rev
| G. L. Marvin, well-to. do M. E
minister Of Montana, arrived a
Union Thursday night. He is {
nephew Of Mrs. Mache, the mur
dered woman, and will endeayor t

fibers slide off the stalk. Spread
the fax now all out on stubble

tie in big bundles. Here the farm.
er's care should end. Indeed, in
our opinion, small company
should be formed to take the straw
at price per ton. from the farmer,
the moment it is rippled, and to
save him the labor of stepping the
flax. Now, when the fax is dry,
it is taken to the scutching mill.
This is a simple affair, and can, for
Gt00 to G120 be bought complete.
1t consists of fluted rollers. The
fax is passed through these, and
so the woody stem is broken into
little lengths and the case split to
let them dry out. There is now a
shaft revolving quickly; on it are
fixed wooden swords; these strike
the wax quickly. The operative
holds the strike Of fax firmly over
rest and the swords begin at
the point, and, by quick strokes,
beat out the wood, and a glossy,
beautiful bunch, called strike of
flax, remains. This flax is in great
demand in America and Europe.
The fax you can grow is fit for the
finest linen, sewing twines, and the
like. | value good crop as better
than wheat at present prices, and
very useful indeed to the farmers.
An acre should give you quite two
tons of straw and Is cwt. OF bolls.
The straw | value at CA, fS; 15
cwt. bolls. 9l0, e7.10; total G15.10.
/ would expect you to have from
the two tons of straw 8 cwt. of flax
at 40s, 910; cost, 98; for labor and
stepping, f2. But the flax might
be worth EGO, but even at f40, it
would pay you | assume the crop
to be like the flax | saw from
Oregon, as Russian fax is not
worth as much. / dare say, the
bolls are not worth as muclr to YOU
as to us, for beef here is SOS to 55s
for 112 pounds. We import 7 ,O00,s
600 pounds worth Of .seed for feed
ing. This shows the value British
farmers put Oh "oil cake," for the
seeds are mostly used in this form.
ought to say water in which
the flax is STEPPED is liquid manure,
and is of great value, and should, if
possible, be made to run over waste
land and so enrich it. Connected
with prison life, / see the greatest
possible advantage in putting the
prisoners to work the fax after it
is rippled. In the open air they
would work at it. It is a healthy
occupation and would suit lem
exactly. Besides, in the scutching,
they might be made to turn a
wheel, to drive the scutcher.
Hopeful work, with joy and human
intercourse, is the remedy for the
moral disease Of the criminal, espe-
cially work which will fix him for
honest labor afterwards.
The fax industry will grow with
the growth Of civilization. Every
good housewife likes kist of linen.
America. almost everywhere, can
grow flax. The manure from cattle
fed with proportion of fax bclls
enriches the soil.

aTwenty-four dead men lying on
slabs in the morgue at Cripple
Creek, victims of hunger, exposure,
pneumonia and suicide-eighteen
Of them buried unidentified" An
attractive picture, isn't it-calcu-

army of men who are rushing with
the distant idea of making a for
tune somehow, someway, out Of
nothing. Cripple Greek is all right
no doubt, and will turn out lots of
gold this year; but there are plen-
ty of men there now. The man
who runs away from the mining
districts of the northwest just at

Colorado stampede will come to
grief.
