Death nfLncien III. Conen.

Lucien II. Conen, who was shot on the
streets of Washington by Mrs. Jennie L..
May, on Septembe ~, 1905, died at his
mothers home at Louisville, KY, last
night. He had fingered beyond the year
and day fixed in the law prevailing 10
the District of Colnmbis fixing the imita-
ton upon prosecution for homicide, and
therefore, Mrs. May cannot be prosecuted
for any higher crime than assault With
intent 10 kill. According to the story
told at the time of the shooting, it was
done by the woman in defense of her rep
utation. She claims to have been both
slandered and threatened by the young
bandsman. Her husband was member
of the same organization On the after
noon of September &c, 1905, Conen was
returning from band concert at the
Capitol plaza, in which he had taken part.
He was met by Mrs. May and shot in
the back with revolver. His spine was
fractured 10 several places by the bullet,
and he was paralyzed from his hips down.
He was removed from hospital in
Washington 20 Louisville in the hope the
change would save or prolong bis life.
Mrs. May aud her friends waited aux
iously for news from Lluisville on Sept
% last. When Conen lived through
that day, the hour Of greatest anxiety
for her bad passed. She cannot now be
placed on trial for her life. On October
l the grand jury returned an indictment
against Mrs. May, charging her with
assault with a dangerous weapon with
intent to kill. Mrs. May is now at
liberty.

ACCUSE UMAT|LLA
Of SELF|SHNESS
WALLA WALLA SHEEPMEN
COMPLAIN OF LAWS.
Declare That Proposed Legislation in
Oregon for the Protection of Home
Shecpmen is for the Purpose of
''Hogging' the Range-Union Prints
n Bitter Complaint.

The Walla Walla Union delivers it.
self of the following complaint about
the efforts of Umatilla sheepmen to
protect their range from outside in
vasion:
Umatilla county sheepmen, having
failed to exclude Walla Walla sheep
owners from government range lying
in the state of Oregon, by securing
the passage of a law at the last ses-
sion of the legislature levying tax
of 20 cents per head on all sheep from
other states have evolved another
scheme and will endeavor to secure
its enactment into a law at the next
session of Oregon lawmakers, says the
Union.
The new law not only provides that
all sheep from other states desiring
to range within the state of Oregon
must be dipped at least once, but that
they must be quarantined for at least
90 days within one mile Of the state
boundary line.
The law is fathered by the mem
bers of the Umatilla County Wool
growers association and can be inter-
presed as nothing but a means of de-
priving residents of Walla Walla and
other counties of Washington of the
privilege of using their allotted range
| in the Wenaha forest reserve.

FORCED TO RELINQUISH.
Walla WalIa Citizens Caught in Land
Frauds.

Peter Werner, one of about 10 or 20
Walla Walla men who made entries on
land In Franklin county some time
ago, and whose entries were contested
by the department of the interior on
charges of fraudulent proofs, received
Saturday from the department a
United States treasury draft for $4OO,
the amount paid at the time of the
continuation proof, gays the Walla
Walla Union.
Several years ago some of the local
business men discovered that there
was large tract of vacant land in
Franklin county which would be valu-
able property, and large number of
them filed homestead entries on the
coveted land. After the required time
had elapsed the several homesteaders
filed their commutatien proofs paying
the government $400 each.
The large number of entries in the
same locality conveyed an idea OF
fraud to the land office officials al
Washington d. G., and the depart
ment sent one> e>Sidney Miller, a specia
agent of the general land office, t.
this district to make an investigation
and report his findings to the depart
ment.
Charges of fraud were made by tn,
special agent. who alleged that th
entrymen had never established an.
residence on the land in question an,
that the entries were made for spec
ulation and not as bona fide home
stead entries. The charges were sus
tanned Dy the government officials an,
the entrymen relinquished.
