FIVE CASES SCARLET F

introduced at Cold Springs by Mis-.
sourian.
One member of the family dead and
four others seriously Ill with scarlet
fever, is the blight that has fallen up
on the home of Louis Hansen, the
Cold Springs rancher. For some time
past five members of the family have
been III with the disease, which they
caught from a new arrival from Mis-
souri, who was taken Ill soon after
reaching their place. The visitor was
not seriously Ill, and but little atten-
ton was paid the matter by the mem
bers of the family, until one by one
they were taken down with the mall
ady.
Last night Frank Hansen, the 1S-
year-old son, died from the effects OF
the disease. Four others, two BROTH
ers and two sisters, still have the fe-
yer, and their condition is said to be
serious.
At the outset of the illness DR.. Hen
derson was called in attendance
Later DR.. C. ]. Smith was also secur-
ed, and he remained at the place al
last night. This morning he declar'
ed the four remaining patients were
critically Ill.

The G.. w. Hunt ranch, at Foster,
has just been sold to the Union Stock
yards company, Of Troutdale, for
s175,o00. William Dougherty, presi-
dent Of the Union Stockyards compa-
ny, is now at Echo and has already
taken possession Of the property.
This is perhaps the largest single
land deal in the history Of the county
and in the transfer the Troutdale
company comes into possession of one
of the finest alfalfa and fruit ranches
in the entire northwest.
The farm consists of $500 acres Of
bottom land lying along the Umatilla
river, on both sides, in the vicinity of
Foster and much Of it is now produce
ing excellent alfalfa and fruit and tho
new owners will begin work immedi-
ately in leveling and plowing out 200
acres more which will be seeded to
alfalfa.
The Newport Construction company
of Echo, has secured a contract for
leveling this 200-acre tract and on
Tuesday will start the work with q
crew of 25 men and 40 horses. Four
hundred acres of barley will also be
seeded this spring by the Troutdale
company.
| While this tract of $500 acres in
cludes all of the bottom land owned
by Mr.. Hunt, he yet owns a large
amount of hill land, or upland in the
north part of the county, some OF
which will come under the govern
ment irrigation project. ~
The tract purchased by the Union
Stockyards includes what is known as
the Dillon, Sullivan and Caveness
tom near Foster and is one Of the olds
est settled tracts of land east of the
Cascade mountains. The Caveness
ranch now included in the Hunt land
is the 57th claim located east of tho
Cascade mountains and was first en-
tered early in the SOS.
The old emigrant road passed
through the Hunt land and for years
portion of it which was cultivated
near Foster was one of the brightest
spots which greeted the eyes of stage
drivers, freighters and immigrants in
passing from Pendleton to Umatilla
landing.

SERVE OUT HIS
LIFE SENTENCE !:
WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS
DENIED COLUMBIA GEORGE
This Is the Ruling by Federal Judge
Hanford, But a Motion for a Re-
hearing Is to Be Heard, and IL Nee
essary the Case VIII Be Taken to
the Federal Supreme Court on the
Grounds That the Original Action
Was Out Of Federal Jurisdiction.

Columbia George, the Indian mur-
derer, has been denied his freedom
by Federal Judge Hanford, of Seattle,
and unless a higher court reverses the
ruling the prisoner will serve out his
life sentence.
In a decision given last Friday
Judge Hanford denied the application
of R. ]. Slater for a writ of habeas
corpus for Columbia George. How
ever, Mr.. Slater still has faith in his
case and says that he will file mo-
tion for a rehearing before the fed
eral court of Washington. Should
this be denied he will appeal to the
SUPP eme court of the United States.
Because of rulings which the supreme
court has made in the past he be-
leves that tribunal would rule with
him in the case.
The ground upon which Columbia
Georges release was asked was that
the federal court in which he was con-
victed did not have jurisdiction, and
that the supreme court of Oregon
erred in ruling that the case was one
for the federal court.
The following extract from Judge
Hanford's decision shows his opinion
on the point:
"This contention involves ques-
tions of fact and of law, which were
necessarily adjudicated by the United
States circuit court for tEe district of
Oregon, in adjudging prisoner to be
hn Of ho In, a
indictment against him, and sentence
| ing him to be imprisoned for life. I
say necessarily because IL upon the
| trial, the petitioner had proved as
| facts that he was born within the
United States, and that he had receiv-
ed an allotment of land and had as
| serted the incidental rights of citi-
zenship in bar of the prosecution, he
| should have been acquitted. Every
defense available upon this trial must
have been disposed of by the court in
which he was tried, whether pressed
upon the attention of the court or
not.
"If the court which sentenced the
| petitioner to be imprisoned for life
erred in exercising jurisdiction, 1t is
equally true that he has had the
benefit of an erroneous decision of
the supreme court of oregon, in de-
nying the jurisdiction OF the court
in which he was first tried, for by that
decision he escaped the extreme pen
atty for the atrocious crime Of which
he has been pronounced guilty by the
verdicts OF two juries, and he certain
ly has no ground to complain Of in
Justice"

MAJOR EDWARDS EXPECTS TROOPS TODAY

Edwards this afternoon the agent
stated he expected the patrol to ar
rive at any minute. Consequently it
would seem that the two troops are to
do their ''practicing" on the reserva-
ton. AS there is a target range and
good camping places on the reserva-
ton, the two duties could be easily
combined.
Cattlemen Seek Permission.
Major Edwards also said this after
noon that a delegation of cattlemen
was then present for the purpose of
asking permission to drive their stock
across the reserve. However, he de-
clared he had no power to grant their
request as his orders were to the con-
trary.
The fact that the cattlemen are still
anxious to secure permission to cross
the reservation indicates they have
not all gotten across as yet.

st. Joseph's academy of this city
has just received gold medal from
the management of the Lewis and
Clark fair for its educational exhibit
at the fair. The academy had one of
the most comprehensive and thorough
exhibits of any school at the fair and
won its award easily. The school is
in excellent condition this spring and
is enjoying a large attendance. The
past year has been one of the very
best in the history of the school and
It is probable that more room will be

Alibis Proven for Negroes.

Springfield, Mo-, April 1.-two ne
groes were hanged on the statue of
the Goddess of Liberty in the public
square Saturday night, by a mob of
5000 men and boys that broke into
the Greene county Jail. Horace Dun
can and Jim Copeland, who were ac-
cused of assaulting Mabel Edwards,
were the victims. The negroes were
arrested merely as suspects and after
the lynching it was learned that they
were not guilty.
The two negroes lynched were en-
ployed at the Pickwick stables here,
and it is positively stated by their em-
ployers that neither of the negroes
could have been at the scene of the
assault at the time it occurred.

Washington, April 16.-Six men
were instantly killed and 20 wounded
late the afternoon OF the 18th on the
battleship Kearsarge off Culebra, Gu
ba. on the same date, the fatal 18Th.
and almost precisely in the same man
ner, 80 men were hurled into eternity
In the turrets and the magazines Of
the battleship Missouri two years ago.
News OF the disaster did not reach
Guantanamo until late Saturday af-
ternoon, to be caSled to the United
States from that point
Three bags of gunpowder, each
containing, 1t is estimated, 10 pounds
OF powder blew up at the same mo-
ment In the forward turret OF the
Kearsarge. Lieutenant Hudgins. tur-
ret officer, and five of his men.
grouped about the big 1S-inch 70-ton

killed. Twenty others were painfully
hurt.
1t was when the gun crew in the
lower turret were about to load one
OF the l3-inch guns. supposed TO have
been superheated, that the explosion
happened. To load the shell of one
OF these guns required $50 pounds OF
gunpowder. This powder, for con-
venience, is carried in bags Of lie
pounds each. 1t is brought up from
the magazines below through the
floor or deck of the turret on hoist
that conveniently holds the bags. Ir
this case It is said that the 110-pound
bags had been sent to the upper tur'
ret and Lieutenant Hudgins signaled
to lower some powder bays to load the
gun.
At the same time the second 49,
inch gun. II Is declared, was so heated
that the lieutenant decided to draw
the charge from the shell which hat
been placed within the breech and le
the gun cool before filling. The load
ing OF the 13-inch gun in this turre
was to proceed in the meantime.
