George Horseman, slayer OF Clar-
ence McBroom, is now In the county
Jail and when seen today was found
with his head and right hand envel-
oped in bandages, evidence of the fight
he had with McBroom shortly before
the killing of the latter. Aside from
the injuries on his head and hand,
Horseman also complained of an in
jury to his right side.
While on his way to the city to give
himself up, Horseman telephoned
from Nye to Colonel j. II. Raley that
he wished the latter and Judge Fee
to defend him in his trial and those
two lawyers are now in charge of the
case. Acting on the advice of his at
torneys, Horseman declines to talk
about the particulars of his case and
at noon today Colonel Raley said he
had not yet gone into the case suffic-
iently to know just what the line of
the defense will be.
How 1t Happened.
From the evidence given before the
coroner's jury by witnesses to the
shooting, It is shown that shortly be-
fore the killing OF McBroom he and
Horseman had engaged in a fist fight
and that the latter had been badly
worsted. The two men with 10 others,
had gathered at the Potts school house
Saturday for the purpose of holding a
cattlemen's meeting to form a pro-
test against the allotments of range
made in the Heppner reserve. While
10 a.
came engaged in a fight over a fence
quarrel that had been on between
them for many months. During the
first part Of the fight Horseman drew
a pocket knife for the purpose OF at
tacking McBroom, but the latter took
It from his enemy before 1t could be
used.
When the first fight ended Horse
man washed the blood from his face,
while the two men continued their
quarrel, each calling the other names.
In the course of the wrangling Nc
Broom taunted Horseman to some ex-
tent, and among other things twitted
him about carrying a gun and not be-
ing game" enough to use 1t. Horse
man carried his gun in an inside
pocket, and according to the wit
nesses McBroom had hardly finished
his rash remark until Horseman drew
his gun to shoot. At the time Nc
Broom was about 81 feet away, and
according to witnesses he had been
walking from Horseman but second
before. AS Horseman drew his gun to
shoot d. P. Hicks, McBroom's broth
er-in-law, said, Don't do that
George 1t is the theory of some
that this remark attracted McBroom's
attention and that he was shot just
as he turned to glance at Horseman
He was shot just below the right eye
and fell backward beside little spring
near which he was standing. The
shooting occurred 10 or 15 minutes
after the first fight had ended.

STATE HEALTH OFFICER
BRUMBY IS HERE.
Came to Investigate the Reported Epi-
demic Of Dengue Fever in Browns.
vile.

DR.. Vim. NJ. Brumby. state
health officer, arrived in Browns
vile last night to Investigate the
reported epidemic of dengue fever
here. After thorough investiga-
ton of the situation. visiting sew
eral cases of fever patients III com
pany with DR.. F. ]. Combe, the
mayor, DIR. BruInby was convinced
that it is nothing moreor less than
dengue. This was the opinion
that he expressed to a HERALD re-
porter. The doctor has also been
studying local conditions. with a
view to determining the cause of
the fever. He visited the lagoon
in the post and examined the
water, and informs THE HERALD
that he found nc indications of
mosquitoes breeding there.
Wiggletails cannot exist in
water where there are minnows, y
he said to the reporter. The
fever is doubtless conveyed by
mosquitoes, though, he added,
but I wish to make a further in
vestigation before saying anything
more definite. -
DIR. Brumby says he was induced
to come here by thereport publish
ed in some of the state papers to
the effect that there was an cpl
demic of dengue here. He has
found nothing alarming in the
he says.
In fact, the fever is already
rapidly. It has been gen
orally of quite a mild type, and
there have been no fatalities from
it.
DR.. Brumby will have further
conference tonight with DR.. v. P.
Armstrong, the health officer for
this district. He expects to leave
tomorrow.
