OREGON SHEEPMEN'S FOXY SCHEME
Raising Hue and Cry About scay Sheep and Urge Stale Quarantine
law-VVaIa WaIa Seepmen See Move 10 Keep Washmon
Sheep Out Of Weneha Reserve

Jealous because Washington sheep
men secured a foothOld in Oregon ter
ritory through the allotments made in
the Wenaha forest reserve at the meet
ing recently held in Walla Walla, sheep
men of Umatilla and Union counties,
it is alleged, are reviving the cry of
scabby sheep and will make an effort
to bring about a strict enforcement of
the state quarantine law that may be
effective in barring a great number of
Walla Walla and Columbia county
sheep from that part of the reserve
lying in Oregon territory if it is en-
forced to a degree that the Umat1lla
county sheepmen are urging.
Want Washington Sheep Kept Out.
Ever since the Walla Walla meeting,
when Washington sheepmen were al
lotted territory in that part of the
Weneha reserve lying within Oregon
territory. Umatilla sheepmen have
been complaining and alleging that
they were Disseminated against by the
forest reserve officials and every move
ment made by the Umatilla county
sheepmen, it is said, has been with
studied attempt to hamper Washington
sheepmen and prevent them grazing
sheep on the territory allotted. The
quarantine law, which Umatilla sheep
men are now urging state officials to
enforce. requires the dipping of every
head of sheep passing from another
state into Oregon territory, and in

Millionaire Has a Fight for His
Life in Italian Town.
AUTO RAN OVER A CHILD
Mob of Enraged Men Attacked
Vanderbilt and Wife and
Their Chauffeur.

FLORENCE. Italy, Feb. 24.-It now
appears that William H. Vanderbilt and
wife were detained at Pondetera yes
terday for striking child with their
automobile. They were attacked after
the accident by peasants. Vanderbilt
drew a revolver. Both master and
driver were arrested and taken to the
police station. Mrs. Vanderbilt was
taken to the best hotel in .own.
The arrival Of gendarmerie probably
saved the lives of the party. Vander-
bilt and his chauffeur were then en-
gagged in a hand .to-hand fight with the
mob. His wife fled to a store. which
later the mob attacked as soon as
Vanderbilt and his chauffeur fed to
/ the shop The mob was about to bat
ter down the doors when gendarmerie
arrested the party. Later reports state
that Mrs. Vanderbilt swooned after her
husband had fought his way from the
mob Vanderbilt and his chauffeur are
now held prisoners at the barracks.

event Of scab being detected the Una
tilla county stock inspector has it with
in his power to prevent whole bands
from being driven over the Oregon
border.
The matter of state quarantine
law is viewed with some little concern
by Walla Walla sheepmen, VINO say
they see the fine Italian hand of the
Umatilla county sheepmen in a move
ment to keep as many Washing on
sheep out of Oregon as possible in
order to have the grazing ground for
their own sheep.
The first intimation of such a move
on the part of the Umatilla county
sheepmen came up several weeks ago
at a meeting of the Uma:illa Wool
Growers association. when Stock In
spector Bean was summarily fired from
Office and a new man put in 1t was
alleged as an excuse for firing Bean
that he had poor eyesight, but this is
Walla Walla sheepmen. With a man
in the Office friendly to Oregon sheep
interests it is an easy matter for
Washington sheepmen to be discrimi-
mated against through alleging that
their sheep are affected with scab and
Walla Walla stockmen are no. at all
sure but that this is the game that
will besworked on them when i. comes
time for driving their sheep to the
grazing grounds.

0R0VILLE, June 26.--James
H. Leggett, dredging king and
millionaire, was arrested this
morning upon complaint of
the City Superintendent Of
Streets acting under instruc-
tions of the Board of Trustees,
upon a technical charge of
obstructing the highway. The
essence of the charge is that
Leggett, who is operating a
dredge within the corporate
limits of the city, has en-
croached upon the very streets
OF the CITY.
0roville was incorporated
during the early part Of the
year, largely to save it from
the dredges, which threatened
the city with destruction.
Since incorporation some
dredges have been allowed to
work, but only under IRON
bound contracts to level their
rockpiIes, cover them with
dirt and leave the ground in
as good condition as when
they commenced their work.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI.
TACOMA, June 26.-A Dawson
special says the rush for Tanana
continues. Every vessel this year,
averaging one every five days, has
gone loaded to the guards with pas
sengers and freight. Many from
Puget Sound are now at Dawson
awaiting the next vessels. All ac-
cumuIated freight from White Horse
for Fairbanks, as we'll as Dawson,
has gone forward and there will be-
no further blockade this summer.
The steamer Monarch, which arrived
yesterday from Fairbanks, brought
reports that the drought at that
camp is greatly curtailing the wash
ing Of gold and may seriously affect
the summer output.
Hatfield, the rainmaker, has been
at work in the KIondike for two
weeks. He has done nothing ma

KILLED BY
DYNAMITE
0verturning Of Freight
Car Caused an
Explosion.
Accident Occurs on the
Sierra Railway Near
Angels.
Brakemen Die and Con-
ductor and Passenger
Are Hurt.

ANGELS, June 26.-The overturning
of a freight car cf train running on the
Sierra Railway, near NeeIands station,
between jamestown ard Angels, this
afternoon, exploded one and half tons
of dynamite and killed HoagEsnd and
Brown, brakemen Cn The train. The
conductor, named Hawkins. was injured,
and a passenger, E. A. Roberts of Sau-
Salito, was severely hurt. HoagIand' S
body was badly mutiIated and but few
small pieces Of Browns body were re-
covered, so terrible was the shock. The
explosion was caused by the car carrying
dynamite jumping the track when coming
up out of the great canyon of the Stanis-
laiS River at curve in the road about
six miles from this place. The car was
turned completely over and the impact
exploded the dynamite. The car was
completely destroyed, and parts of the
wheels were thrown a mile and a half
from the scene and landed on Bear
Mountain. On two of the five cars of
the train we're two traction engines, be-
ing brought here for the Union Construc-
tiOn Company. One of the engines was
not badly damaged, but the other was
blown into pieces and scattered 50 if can
not be located. piece of the engine, a
stringer SxI0 ard IA feet long, was
thrown a distance of half mile and
struck the ground at the Jones mine.
The explosion wrecked the chIorination
works at the Jones mine; and although
the explosion was heard here, 70 damage
was done in this town. Word comes
from Milton, twenty-one miles west of
Angels, that the shock was felt there and
window glass was broken in the village.
Strange TO say, the railroad track was
not badly damaged by the great force of
the explosion, but the up-passenger train
had not passed the point at O'Clock to-
night.
The report was brought here that pos
sibIy second passenger might have been
killed in the wreck and search was made
for another victim, but railroad men say
only the two brakemen were killed.
The wheels of one of the five cars in
the freight train were found on the rail-
road track half mile this side of the
wreck. The explosion was felt as far
away as Stockton, sixty miles, where it
was believed that another earthquake had
shaken up the country, but the force of
the shock seemed to travel down stream
in the deep canyon and did NOT come over
the hill to Angels.

MISS NESBIT

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, June rs -Ru-
NOR, to put it mildly, had been
busy with the mountaineering
of Florence Evelyn Nesbit, ac-
tress and artists model, with
Stanford White years before
Harry Thaw came to her ac-
quaintance. She is not old now.
She was considerably younger
then. In fact, she had not got
very far along in the early teens
when her name was first con-
nected in Rialto gossip with that
Of the proverbially generous and
generally popular architect.
just how old Florence Nesbit
was when she went on the stage
is a thing perhaps definitely
known only to herself and par
ents. She made her first ap-
pearance in the original "Floro-
dora" company at the Casino be-
tween five and six years ago.
HER FIRST TURN"
Appearance" is perhaps a
rather misleading word to apply
to her first turn" behind the
footIights, as she was simply one
of the six Spanish girls that fig
ured in a minor way in the pro-
duction.
John c. Fisher, manager of
the company, gave her her first
engagement. Beyond that he
does not know much about her
career on or off the stage while
she was in his company.
In "Florodora" Evelyn Nesbit,
it has been said, did not stand
out. When she met George
Lederer, though, it was another
story. One woman who knows
the profession as well as the
next gave a hint of this. She
said:
"Now, whenever we hear of
anything of that sort we tear up
their cards they are off our
books. We have to do this out
of Difference to the decent girls
of the chorus. For ten to one of
them are decent, and the one
that goes wrong is the only one
that is heard of.
"But it was when Miss Nesbit
was with Lederer in the Wild
Rose the production that Irene
Bentley starred in-I think she
was Miss Bentley's understudy
it was then we began to hear
MIR. Whites name mentioned in
connection with hers. You know
how it was. The Casino did not
have the best reputation with all
those girls there. Then you
know Miss Nesbit had never had
money and some one coming
around with automobiles and
suppers and all that is enough
to turn many girls head"

Alienists Pass Upon

Prisoner.

NEW YORK, June 70.
Harry Kendall Thaw was
examined by eminent alien
lists, retained on his behalf and
by the District Attorneys Of
fee. The Coroner's inquest
will be held on Thursday and
in all probability the case will
then be considered by the
Grand Jury. The prisoner $
wife will be required to ap-
pear before that body, she
having been served with a
subpoena today while in con-
sultation at the Offices of her
husbands counsel. Every ef-
fort is now being made by
both sides to expedite the
legal preliminaries SO that the
arraignment and trial NAV
take place at the earliest pos
sible date.
Not since the killing of
James Fisk Jr. by Edward
Stokes on the staircase of the
Grand Central Hotel more
than thirty years ago has the
metropolis been shocked by
SO startling and dramatic a
tragedy as that which was
enacted last night in the view.
Of an audience of more than
1000 persons in the roof
theater Of Madison Square
Garden. Not the least dram
attic feature of the tragedy is
the fact that White met his
death in the structure which,
perhaps, is the most con-
spicuous memorial of his archi-
tectural genius.

Rarely has the case against
any prisoner moved with
more rapldlty than did the
proceedings today which
ended in Thaw S formal COM
mitment to the Tombs. Save

frenzied haste, the routine
followed and the treatment
accorded to Thaw differed in
no respect from that meted
