Harney comfy, Or, man. His real
name is Jack Miller, and he is
typical Western man. He has killed
two men, both in self-defence; one in
Harney county and one in Alaska.
The one in Harney was named Egan.
Jack was too quick for Egan, "got the
drop" 90 him ana was exoneratod by a
coroner's jury. In the year 1886, Jack
brought two fine horses into Burns
one day. They were claimed by Uma-
tilla men, who sent six officers with a
warrant for Jack. But he got away,
went to Alaska, and changed his name
to dalton" Five years ago in
Alaska he killed his second man. He
spent $4,000 in making the Dalton
Trail" He was a Juneau merchant
awhile. He is now interested in
transportation schemes at Dyea and
Skagway. The Harvey County News
describes him as "a man of dauntless
courage, generous and true, who be-
longs to the famous wild turkey breed
of Western hone-builders"

A BRUTAL DEED.
James Fits snot by william Ewing In
Morrow County

James FIT. snot by william Ewing In
Morrow County.
On Wednesday the I'd, farmer by
the name of William Ewing, who
lives on Willow Creek, in Morrow
county, about 20 miles south of Arling-
ton, shot and fatally wounded James
Fitz. sheep herder in the employ of
G. A. Rhea. From what can be
learned of the shooting it appears to
have been brutal and cold blooded
assault.
Some of the sheep Fitz was herding
had got onto Ewing's land. Ewing
armed himself with revolver and
taking two young men with him. went
out where the sheep were with the in.
tention of driving them into an en-
closure and keeping them until Rhea
should pay him damages. Fitz objected.
to Ewing bothering the sheep, and
started toward Ewing having a light
cane in his hand. When only a few
steps away Ewing fired striking Fitz in
the right side. He fred second shot
that took effect in the herder's right
arm. After the shooting, Ewing left
the wounded man lying on the ground,
and calling his assistants ceralled the
sheep.
Fitz was 30 badly wounded that he
coulu not walk, and being abandoned
by his assailant, crawled mile to his
cabin. DR.. GeisendOrffer, of this city,
was called to attend the wounded man,
and found him in very dangerous
condition, there being but little
chance of his recovery.
Ewing has been arrested and taken
to Heppner, where he is being held in
Jail.

to Col. Bonneville's regiment which
was ordered to the Pacific coast
With his regiment Mr.. Fritz came

Arriving at Vancouver Mr.. Fritz

same place with the o. r. & N. and
held it until the time of his death. In
1856 Mr.. Fritz was married to Sarah
A. Collins, native of Rochester, N.
y, at Vancouver. The result of this
marriage was ten children, FIVE girls

AN EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
It will be Established by the q. X. & n. a.
in umatilla County

IT will be Established by the o. X. & n. 80.
in nUmatilla County.
Preparations are being made for
commencing operations on the ex-
pertinent farm to be started at Stokes,
under the auspices of the 0. r. & N.
Co. as scon as spring opens. Stokes is
on the line of the o. r. & N. between
Umatilla and allula, where the com
pany has set aside l60 acres, for the
irrigation of any part of which the
Bailey ditch is accessible. so that ex-
periments can be made in growing
various plants with or without irrlga-
tion. The farm will be in sight of
passing trains, and passengers who
desire will be allowed to stop there to
examine the workings of the scheme.
Among the plants which are to be
experimental with at first are cotton,
sorghum, alfalfa, tobacco, peanuts,
sweet potatoes, Austrian Drawn grass,
red clover, hemp. flax, German miilet,
Russian grass, rape seed, vetches, etc.
A lot of tobacco seed from Virginia
has arrived for this farm, and some
imported seed will come in few days.
The company will have hardy varieties
of apples and other varieties of fruit
to be experimental with.
The facm at Stokes will be the GEN.
tral experiment station, but seeds and
plants will be furnished to farmer, in
arid and semi-arid sections, who desire
to supplement the work of the company
and test for themselves the adapta-
bility of the various plants for cultiva-
tion in their localities.
The farm will be under the charge Of
Industrial Agent r. C. Judson, assisted
by competent help. There is no doubt
as to the feasibility of raising nearly
every one of the plants above men
toned successfully in the section be-
tween Umatilla and Walla Walla,
where water is available for such as re-
quire it. Mr.. Bailey, who has an irri-
eating ditch there, has sold 200 acres
of his land to California parties, ard
several families are now on their way
there to engage in the raising of water
melons, for which that section is par
ticularly adapted.
