Winter Irrigation

The department of the interior will
this year conduct in Montana an ex-
pertinent in the matter of winter irri-
satIon and will test the capacity of
ene lands so treated by cropping them
Al comparison with lands irrigated in
The ordinary way and during the grow
lnS season. This method has been
found practicable in some locations
where the demands of agriculture
nave exceeded the ordinary opportun-
tiles for irrigation and thus have
forced the adoption of various exped-
tents for supplying the moisture. If
It shall now be found to operate sue
,essfully under general conditions, Gil
nate and otherwise the test will prove
Of great value as creating new fac
,ol in the work that is finally to re-
leem the west.

1T SHOULD
BE DENIED
District Attorney Warren
Protests Against the Par
don of Buster

Replying to the notification from
the Nevada Board of Pardons that
John Buster. the Indian sent up from
the district court of this county for
killing half-breed or Mexican,
Frank Mussa, some six years ago,
District Attorney Warren today for
warded to the board his protest to the
proposed action of the board, the Off
clal records of the office showing the
letter, as follows:
In the matter of the annexed ap-
plication of John Buster, a convicted
murderer, this Office has examined
the record of the case and begs to
submit the following: The said
Buster was in the Fifth Judicial Dis
tIict Court, the Hon. A. E Cheney,
presiding, convicted by jury of muir
der in the first degree for the killing
os Frank Mussa, a Mexican, and not
half breed.
The facts as disclosed by the tes-
timony appear to be as follows: That
Buster and one Fran Jones, an Indian.
were enamored of the same squaw
Mussa, the murdered man. had no
appears to have been an industrious
Indian, together with Mussa, were
employed in hauling wood from Limbo
ranch by r. H. Cowles, and were so
engaged the day of the double mur-
der. Buster killed both men, shoot
ing Mussa from ambush in order that
ne might not be witness to the kill
ing of Jones. The body of Jones was
found at some distance from the body
of Mussa, from which it appears that
jones tried to get away and was pur-
sued by Buster. Buster at all times
admitted the killing of both men and
all the circumstances and evidence in
the case were corroberative of his
numerous confessions. The evidence
i'll the case is convincing and conclu-
sive. Buster was ably defended by
the Hon. S. ]. Bonnifield, the present
judge of said court, who after appeal
ing succeeded in having the death
sentence commuted to life imprison-
ment.
There does not appear to be any
mitigating circumstances and his COM
mutation was due to the fact that
heretofore, owing to the unprotected
ccndltlor or outlying ranchers, 1t has
been considered, and was at that time
considered to De dangerous to inf1ict
the death penalty upon Indians. All
the facts and circumstances In the case
show the crime to have been mali
cious, premeditated and brutal In a
marked degree Buster, with Indian
cunning after the crime, overturned
the wood wagon and drove sharp
sticks in the bullet holes in his vic
tins to make it appear the deaths
were due to accident. Buster should
have been hung. but since he escaped
his just deserts, the safety of society
damands that so dangerous a savage
should not again be turned loose a
menace to the public. and his applica-
tion should for these reasons be de-

JETT-WHITE JURY DISAGREE
Both Accused MurdererS to
be Tried Again

JACKSON KY, June 19.-At eight
O'Clock the jury filed into the couIt-
room and Foreman Richard Milard
said:
Your Honor, we find there is no
chance of coming to an agreement"
Judge Redwine said:
Il will have to keep you gentlemen
until tonight unless you get a verolct
sooner. There is no reason why a
verdict should not be reached in this
case"
Foreman Millard said:
"One man has as much right to his
opinion as another and he may stick
to it"
1t was believed from this that there
was only one man between a verdict
of guilty or not guilty and it was con-
ceded that only one juror was then
for conviction and it was said that
the question of punishment had not
been considered at all Later the jury
again reported it was unable to agree
and shortly after nine O'Clock II was
DISCHARGED so that there will be an
other trial
ihe dominant faction evidently ex-
pected acquittal this morning bit
there was at least one juror who
would not report.
Judge Redwine has decided to trans
fer the Jett-White case to Cynthia for
the next trial
The scene after the verdict was an
nCunced was in no wise exciting. The
guards took immediate possession Of
the prisoners and they were taken
back TO Jail. People gathered around
the court house in knots discussing
the cases. but there was no disturb
ance nor outward sign of trouble.
Judge Redwine OF his own accord
changed the venue to Cynthia, at the
next term of court CYNTHIA is not in
Judge Redwines district.
He surprised the spectators by or
dering the prisoners sent 70 evington
under a detachment of soldiers and
accomDanied by Elisor Jones They
will leave this afternoon
II is stated from a semi-officiaT
source that the jury stood eleven for
sonvietion and one for accuittal in
the Jet case and seven for convict n
and five for accuittal in the White
case.

goodbye, and incidentally to remind
nim of that little balance due. But
the affectionate adleus were over at

No one knows where he went. To a
physician of this city he stated re-
Gently that he was going away on a
little vacation, and was going direct

to him a couple of days ago and ask

HEPPNER, Ore. June 19.-The de-
velopments of yesterday afternoon and
today show the Heppner death list
will pass estimates of the last two
days.
There are several large shifts of
men at work and corpses are being
found many miles away. At the rate
bodies are coming in the list will
easily reach two hundred actually
found, identified and buried Many
bodies have undoubtedly been carried
to the Columbia river 40 miles away
and will never be recovered.
While the bodies yesterday and to-
day were in horrible condition, many
were frozen stiff when brought into
the hot sun, phenomenon rendered
possibly by their covering of hail.
Great banks of roZen hail still lie in
the drills with bodies. Where people
were rolled before a wall of hail dur
ing the flood, they are stripped naked
and their flesh whipped into a solid
bruise.
Five carloads Of provisions have ar
rived at Lexington for the destitute.
The work of the relief committee
IS becoming more arduous.
Hungry and destitute families are
being found and are being cared for
as rapidly as possible.
The name of Otis Bulls. % years
old, of Tower City, N j., is added
to those missing.
The bodies of Mrs DOUGLAS Cur
dane. wife of the city marshal. Mrs.
Rerid and child. a Chinaman and

tifed todav bringing the official list
