From late reports coming from Chi.
nook there Is considerable doubt In
that vicinity concerning the identity
of the man who procured horse and
saddle from James r. Moran's ranch,
near iantic, Tuesday night. and that
the man was Kid Curry is generally
dlscredited. Mr.. Moran himself is not
certain that the man WAS Kid Curry
although he believes that he had seen
the man somewhere before.
Gus Stevens. of Chinook. who was
In the city yesterday states that In
conversation with another person MIR
Moran stated that man represent
ing himself to be the much. hunted
outlaw came to his ranch house about
o'clock In the morning demanding
horse and saddle. Mr.. Moran did not
recognize the stranger, but the latter
informed him that he was Curry. Mr.
Moran then remembered having seen
the man before. but he could not say
positively that the stranger was the
noted desperate.
Not wishing to take any chances
with his life, however. Moran saddled
a horse at the strangers command
and the latter departed, saying that
he would return the horse within the
next few hours. The next night the
horse was returned and the following
morning found IL hitched to post
near the house. On the saddle was
tied a small package containing what
the borrower evidently considered a
reasonable amount Of money for the
hire of the animal.
Mr.. Stevens says that Moran has
stated that. although he was well ac
quainted with Curry he would not
state positively that the stranger tc
whom he loaned the horse was the
desperate. He did not recognize him
as such, however, and IL Is generally
believed that the nocturnal visitor
was another who presumed that II he
said he was Kid Curry there would
be no resistance to his demand for a
horse and saddle

ing the Linn county court, have re
turned from making an investigation
OF the site of Sandeson's bridge, the
largest wagon bridge in Linn county
which was almost entirely destroyed
by the food in the South Santiam riv.
er last winter. The investigation was
made to determine whether the bridge
should be rebuilt at It's former loca'
tiOn. or constructed at different
place. The bridge was so situated
that II was always more or less dam.
aged by high water and thus a con.
stant source OF expense 10 the county.
For this reason Il was thought that
"A more advantageous site for new

found at a place perhaps as convent

HOp-grOWS Takes a
Look at the Crops
Condition


Geo. Ruef. a successful hop-grower
of Dover. Polk county, was in the
city yesterday and reports that in
nearly all of the hop yands of that re-
gion. but little over half the hills are
showing good growth. Many attribute
this to cut worms. wire worms, or
some kind of a pest that has eaten
Off the red shoots before they reached
the surface. He has just returned
from Portland and reports the yards
between here and that city on both
sides of the river in much the same
condition. The work is done in solid
sections. and not in scattering hills;
as in some places a portion Of the
yards are growing as thrifty as one
could wish; while another portion is
practically dead. It is not due to To-
cation: as in some yards the effect is
seen on low ground. while in others
It appears only on high ground.
Mr.. Ruef inclines To the belief that
some kind Of a worm is doing the
work. as he claims he noticed vines
starting in good shape the latter part
OF March. and since then he has
noticed many OF them apparently cut
on The vine below Is sound. while
the cut of end is dead and rotting in
the ground. IL is his Judgment that
the vines thus cut OF cannot make a
crop this season. He also thinks the
crop. I'm his section OF the country at
least, win be reduced from onethlrd

Justice Is Busy.

Justice Horgan has been doing a
good business in the last two days.
Yesterday Martin Hohle swore out a
warrant. charging James Herren with
assault. It seems the two men were
working on the road near Macleay.
and got into a dispute over a water
wagon. Herren picked up board and
hit Hohle on the side of the head. cut.
ting his ear badly, and nearly knock
ing his Hohle head OF. Before Officer
Lewis could serve the warrant Herren
hunted up Justice Horgan and paid a
fine of $500. feeling that he had got
his moneys worth.
John Slaughter drank too much
hard cider in the Krebs hop yard,
and when the cider and his name got
to working he tried to drive Geo
Jaquies out Of the yard. He called
Jaquies out Of his house about 10
O'Clock at night, and informed him
that he had better leave the yard.
Jaquies was willing to go. but did not
move fast enough for Slaughter. who
used fence rail in hurrying him.
Justice Horgan fined Slaughter $40.
but he had no money and went to
Jail.

He Replies TO the At

quarters

Eugene. May 12.-(speciaD. Bling
er Hermann, Republican nominee fol-
congress, was given a redhot greeting
by Eugene Republicans, who packed
the court house TO the doors. S. b.
Eakln presided. and the assemblage
was enthusiastic.
Hermann denounced as lies the
charge that he was removed from the
Roseburg land office in 1878. showing
that he resigned 10 run for the legis-
lature In the famous senatorial cam
paign which resulted in a complete
change in all Oregon federal Offices
In replying 10 the charge that the
President had demanded his removal
as commissioner of the general land
office. he showed that the President
had nothing to do with TO- that II was
owing TO differences with Secretary
Hitchcock. and that Roosevelt. in an
interview at Chicago the other day,
declared for Hermann's election.
Hermann makes n strong appeal to
the old guard Republicans on the tar
in and the record Of the Democratic
party In the past lie praised the old
era Of expansion Of the Democracy OF
Jefferson and Jackson, but assailed
its modern opposition to expansion.
Bets are freely offered here that he
will carry 20 per cent Of the Demo
cratic vote. and that his majority in
the district will be 5000.
