The first case reported by the grand
jury Monday was true bill against
Walter Rice, the young man who
some time since passed forged check
on Pease & Mays. When the grand
jury had returned the indictmest Rice
was brought into court, and by his
attorney, G. W. Phelps, waived time
for pleading, and entered plea of
guilty of obtaining money under false
pretense, which was accepted by Dis
trict Attorney Jayne. Having pleaded
guilty, Rice waived time for sentence,
and Judge Bradshaw sentenced him to
Imprisonment in the state penitentiary
for one year.
Rice is quite young in years, but
appears to be old in crime, since the
for which he must suffer is
not his first crime. However. having
been thus checked early in his wild
career, be may yet repent, and become
q respectable citizen.

ITS OBJECTS.
why the woolgrowers Convention is
Called

Called.
The Times-Mountaineer has fire.
quently been asked why the WOOL
gro Sers' convention has been called at
The Dalles and what are its objects.
Probably the best answer to the ques-
zion is set forth in the circular letter
of invitation issued by the committee,
from which the following extracts are
taken:
"BelieviDg the time is ripe for an
organization of this kind to be estab-
lished and become one of the perma-
nent institutions of this vast territory,
and recognizing the value that will
accrue to each individual by meeting
others engaged in like pursuits, we ex-
tend to you a cordial invitation to be
present at convention to be held in
this city on the 1st, I'd and Sd days Of
March next, when the subject of wool
growing will be discussed in all its
branches.
1--WE have secured the most prominent
speakers of national reputation on the
subjects connected with this industry,
from different parts of the country.
They are experts in their line, and
their experience will educate US to
better understanding of our wants and
necessities.
"The convention is intended to be
one of education to ali breeders and
raisers of sheep, and the diseases,
grasses, markets, legislation, transpor-
tation and many other topics of inter-
est to the woolgrower, and where old
friends may reunite, discuss and learn
of subjects that will bear vitality upon
their prosperity and business interests.
s'The states of Washington, Oregon,
Montana and Idaho are peculiarly
adapted to wool growing. There are
large areas of land in the semi-arid
regions of these states, upon which
agricultural products can be grown
only under the most favorable climatic
conditions. These areas will pro-
duce the far-famed natural grasses of
this region, while along the water
courses irrigation is feasible and large
crops of alfalfa can be grown for use
when winter feeding becomes neces-
sary. The close proximity of these
lands to the great mountain ranges
makes it the ideal of the sheepraiser's
home.
"By gradual development of the
agricultural interests the valleys of
the Mississippi. and Missouri rivers
have become the homes of the farmers,
and these large areas being devoted to
the production of cereals and other
agricultural products have driven the
stock interests westward, until the
vast ranges of the Pacific Northwest
have become the feeding grounds for
the nation. Bearing these facts in
mind should not the pioneers of sheep
raising in the Pacific Northwest meet,
exchange ideas, know each other,
learn of needs, how to improve, and
to organize for their protection, de-
velopment and advancement? Every
portion of the world has specific use
for the benefit and maintenance of
and success comes from an
knowledge of the value of
all things surrounding and how to con-
serve and utilize them.

Mrs. Bridget Fewer, widow of the
late John Fewer, died at St. Mary's
Academy in this city last Sunday,
aged 81 years. Mrs. Fewer was born
in Kilkenny, ireland, and came to
America when 10 years of age. Being
an invalid and incapable of caring for
herself, Rev. A. Bronsgeest prevailed
upon the Sisters of st. Mary's Academy
to provide home for Mrs. Fewer, and
since November, 1883. she has been
cared for by them. Through many

THE CANYON CITY BoNANz 4.
Its Riches Rival Anything Found on the
Klondike.

Its Riches Rival Anything Found on the
KIondike.
The Canyon City News gives the
following description of the rich quartz
recently discovered by Mr.. Guker two
miles from Canyon:
"Ths claim proper embraces two par
allel ledges running in northeastern rly
and soutwesterly direction. On top of
the ridge above Pine Creek is three
foot ledge dipping to the northwest.
Lower down the mountain is what
Mr.. Guker calls the mother lode, four
teen feet wide and dipping to the south
east, or in toward the heart of tho
mountain and directly toward the
other ledge. A spur of copper-bear-
ing rock leaves the narrower of the
two lodges and runs into the mountain
southeasterly and another spur bear
ing gold runs in a northwesterly
direction crossing the fourteen foot
ledge just above the place where the
rich pockets have been found. A
great many seams or stringers of
quartz intersect the mother lode,
coming in almost due north. These
seams Mr.. Guker followed up last fall
before the snow fell, and where they
join the mother lode is where the rich
pockets have been located. These
pockets are merely depressions in the
porphyry foot walls, and the gold lies
in decomposed quartz and porphyry in
seams and crevices, narrowing down
and again widening to conform to the
contour Of their porphyry prison.
"All the lodges and spurs ON Mr..
Guker's claim will prospect we'll, and
he has done sufficient development
work to establish their permanently.
On the mother lode he will run a cross
cut 65 feet below the surface at the
upper end, and has fully demonstrated
by tunnels and shafts that the lodges
are there. He and all other miners
are of the opinion that when the lodges
unite. as they must inevitably at no
great depth, there will be the richest |
quartz claim that the world has ever
produced.
cat the present time all the gold has
been washed out with water produced
from melting the snow in vessels. By
this slow process Mr.. Guker says they
,an take out ore and average twenty
pans day. The best pan during the
asst few days contained $84. IS. Unless
t grows better, as it has been in the
labit of doing, it will probably not av-
rage this much. However, should
he average be only s25 to the pau,
our men can take out $500 day.

Resolved, That it is the sense of the

of Wasco county, and lis members in
atte enhance at this LGeeting, that the e
should be fusion or union of the dif-

power of organized capital, including
silver republicans, peoples party and

TORTURED BY THUGS.
a Coos County Farmer Subjected to Ter
rible Punishment.


A Myrtle Point dispatch of the 1lth
gives the following account of das-
tardly deed that was perpetrated near
that place:
Two masked thugs yesterday eXtort-
I'd 1880 from Levi Grant, an aged
farmer, who lives near here. by hold
ing him over blazing fire till he dis.
closed its hiding place. After they
lef:, Grant maraged to crawl a quarter
of a mile from his cabin in search of
assistance, but finally tainted from the
excruciating pain his burns caused
him. He was brought here by a
neigh Dor. who found him lying by the
roadside, and his injuries were dress
ed. 1t is hardly likely that he will
survive.
Grant is widower, 10 years old.
and lives alone on a farm, his dwell
from the road, and hidden by tall
poplar hedge. He was sitting by the fire
last night, having removed his shoes
preparatory to going to bed, when
one of the windows was smashed in
with bludgeon and he was suddenly
seized from behind by masked man,
while second confronted him and de-
manded his money. AS soon as he
found breath to speak, he protested
that he had none. The thugs then
lifted him bodily and held him over
the fire that was blazing on the broad
hearth, till he screamed for mercy and
promised to give hsm all the money
he had if they would release him. He
was taken from the fire and allowed to
take out his purse, but when his tor
turers found that it only contained $40,
they thrust him back into the fire and
held him, till in his agony, he told
them where $140 more was hidden.
They quickly found this and made their
escape, leaving him writhirg on the
cabin floor.
