IRELAND {
ING HEARD.
Defense Claims Freewater Vote Null
and Void.

and Void.
This afternoon the case of George
Ireland, Freewater saloon man, is be-
ing heard before Circuit Judge Ellis.
Ireland was arrested several weeks
ago for violating the prohibition law,
and the case has been held awaiting
the pleasures of District Attorney
Phelps. The people of Milton have
retained HALEY & Lowell to assist
the prosecution, and ireland is be-
ing defended by Balleray e. McCourt.
The line of the defense is that the
prohibition law was not legally en-
acted for the subdivision in which
Milton is located. This they claim
on the ground that the petition for
q vote on the prohibition question for
that subdivision was acted upon at a
special session of the county court.
They also maintain that the petition
was not subsequently recorded by the
county clerk, which omission they af-
firm makes the vote null and void.

Lake Wool Contracted.

The 1906 wool clip in Lake county
is being contracted, at prices ranging
from Is to 16 ga cents per pound.
It is believed that almost the entire
clip of the county will be contracted
at these prices. So far there have
been no reported sales of wool in this
county, sheepmen generally feeling
confident that when the market opens
prices will range at from two to three
cents higher than they were last
year.-Condon Globe.

CUNNINGHAM SELLS AT II.
Entire Clip from 10000 Head of
Sheep Sold at IL Cents to Union

The entire wool clip from the 20,-
600 sheep owned by Charles Cum
ningham, the sheep king of Eastern
Oregon, has been sold at II cents per
pound to the Union Woolen Mills.
1t is estimated that the 10000 head
will average 10 pounds each, making
grand total of 200, 900 pounds of
wool from his flock this year. This
means an income of $4,000 from the
wool alone, from the Cunningham
sheep, beside the lamb crop.
Mr.. Cunningham has taken great
care to breed up his flocks until he
now owns one of the very best grad
ed lots of sheep in the Inland EN-

THAT SHOOTING RECORD
or the National Guard Team From
This state.

The Morgantown papers are still
lying about the shooting record of
their man Philips and claiming that
he lead the target shooting in the
National Guard of this State, when
the official records give it to b. +.
Cole, of Company G, of Kingwood,
who skinned everything in the whole
Brigade, including Mr.. Philips the
crack shot from the Pennsylvania
National Guard, who claims to hold
several medals for his shooting
heretofore, but if he gets any more
medals he will have to go back to
Pennsylvania for them. One lie
always leads to another and since
the Morgantown papers started out
to lie about it, they feel bound to
keep it up. The Post claims now
that the Squad from Kingwood all
shot into Coles target instead of
each man shooting into his own on
the skirmish line. If this were true
will the Post kindly explain why
the official score gives ALL the
kingwood Squad a good record on
the skirmish line, and another be-
sides Cole a better score than
Philips. The score on the Skin
mish line gives Cole Al. Wilson 43,
Philips AZ and Runner "a. in the
individual shoot. In the skirmish
line shooting of the team, Cole
made IIa, Collier of Elkins, who
was one side of Cole Io7 and Phil
ipps Io4. Again as Collier from Ell
kins, was on one side of Cole and
men from another State on the
other side of him and the rest OF the
Kingwood Squad way down the line
from Cole, will the Post kindly
explain how they could shoot into
Coles targetp The Dominion
makes the worst break of all. 1t
claims to have official records at its
office showing tina: Philips made
score of 100 out of possible $50.
When it comes to lying like that,
we give up and frankly acknowledge
that we are not in the Dominion
class. The facts are that Cole was
coach for the West Virginia Team
at Sea Grit and led all the shooting
getting the gauge and range etc. for
all the rest of the team and giving
them all a better chance than he
had himself and Maj. Cole of Hunt
ington in his official report, as given
in the Parkersburg News, upon his
return from Sea Grit frankly gave
Cole the credit for the good record
made by the team from this State
Gncluding Philipps) at Sea Girt and
II the Morgantown papers failed TO
see this report, we suggest that they
write to Major Cole for the official
record and then publish it and quit
lying about the matter. MAJOR Cole
was the officer in charge of the
team from this State and his records
and what he says goes, Mr.. Philips
to the contrary Notwithstanding.

Down in Wyoming county this
State they are in the midst Of a

out the war between Russia and

tries have gotten ashamed Of them
selves and made peace. The Court
House has been at Oceana hereto
fore but Pineville hungers for legal
society and probably needs Jail
and at special election held last
week won by big majority, but
the town with the "deep and dark
blue ocean" name, swore by the
great horn spoon that the Court
House should not be moved.
Whereupon every resident Of Pine.
vile who had shaved or wore long
pants without ruf7cs, went over in
2 body and moved all the county
records and all movable county pro
perty TO the Vile that had Pined for
them so long. This aroused the
Irish, Dutch and other bad blood
Of the salt water town and they
organized TO bring the records back.
The PineyilIians swore they would
hold on 10 them till Bill Dawson
proved that an increased assessment
would lower taxes, and there the
matter rests.
