Sheriff.

Albion, H., June 24.-The case OF
David Kellems and his 17-year-old
son Albert. charged with the killing
of Sheriff Alexander Compton near
Keensburg December 20 last, was
called for trial today before the Ed
wards county circuit court. The case

suited from domestic trouble in the
Kellems family. On the day before

home, taking with her their baby.
Kellem followed to the home of her
brother, Charles Black, and regained
possession of the child. Mrs. Kel-
lens appealed to the officers to aid
her in obtaining custody of the child.
The states attorney gave letter to
Sheriff Compton to deliver to Kel-
lens, which stated that IL the child
was not returned to the mother he
would be arrested on an old charge.
While he was returning from Kel-
lens in custody, the sheriff was fired
upon from ambush and killed. AL
bert Kellems was arrested, and his
father held as an accessory.

OF Interest to Goat Growers.

Oregon is credited with having the
second largest number of Angora
goats of any state, ranking next to
Texas in this industry. The pro-
ceedings of the meeting of Angora
goat breeders held at Dallas, Oregon,
last winter, and also an account OF
the eighth annual Angora goat show
held at the same time and place, have
been published by the American An
CORA Goat Breeders association in
book form for free distribution. It
is illustrated with pictures of prize
winning Oregon Angoras and Is
publication that will interest all goat
men and too, all investigating this in
dustry. A copy may be had by ad-
dressing John w Fulton. secretary.

But little interest and no excite
ment have attended the special cleo
ton being held today. Up to IL
o'clock probably not over 100 votes
had been cast all told, and 1t is doubt
full II the number cast will be greater
than 200 when the polls close at 6
o'clock.
The fact that no fight of any kind
is being made against any of the pro-
posed changes to the charter accounts
largely for the light vote today, while
others who have remained away
through ignorance of the fact that
they have a right to vote. No willing
workers have thronged the streets for
the purpose Of getting out the vote"
Judging from expressions heard
about the polling places and from
those who have voted there is little
doubt but that all the amendments
asked for will be adopted.

CHARTER CHANGES EXPECTED TO HAVE
LARGE MAJ0R|T|ES

Though the election has been Ian
guild, the usual number of polling
places, with complete list of Off
cials at each place, have been open
since O'Clock. As a result of the
light vote the judges and clerks have
but little to do and have sat around
waiting in vain for their fellow ward
residents to appear. This afternoon
the booth for the north side ward,
No 2, led in the number of votes cast
having Fl at 1 o'clock, while the
booth for the third ward, in the city
recorders office, had less than half
that number.
In conformity with the law all of
the saloons Of the city have been clos
ed today and saloonmen and their
bartenders have enjoyed a vacation.
Also, there was no police court ses-
sion this morning, but the holiday
extends no farther than the juris-
dictiap of the city offices.

Team.

HermistOn, June 24.-In a garri-
son finish IN the last inning yesterday
Umatilla nearly nosed out a winning
when the nine from the town of the
Columbia met the Hermiston Irri-
gators, nearly, but not quite.
And the final accounting showed a
score of TO in favor of the locals,
after the fastest amateur game ever
put up on the sand diamond here.
Three large safe ones and a walk
gave the Irrigators a lead of three in
the first, and a walk, two bingles and
an error let It go four until the ninth
Meanwhile Umatilla punched two hits
with as many errors by the locals and
garnered one to which another was
added in the fifth.
Scrcggs, Rollins and Bartlett, with
Williams bad throw added to their
safe ones added two more in the ninth
and the visitors with clean slugging
put three over before wellington
with splendid pitching saved his
game. Wellington was struck in the
head with a pitched ball in the first
inning, but played a splendid fielding
game for that.
Two base hits, Collins and Bartlett.
Struck out by Johnson, 12; by Well
ington, 4: bases on balls, off John
son, 4: off Wellington, g. Sacrifice
hits, Wolf. Stolen bases, Collins.

Boise, June 24.-Clarence Darrow
made the opening address for the de-
fense, declaring that Orchard un-
doubtedly killed Steunenberg, but his
motive was personal revenge, and the
defense will show that was what ac-
tuated the Orchard crimes. That Or
chard for years was intimate with
the detectives, and never a friend of
Haywood.
Darrow's evcoriation of orchard was
very bitter. He declared he was ut
terly worthless, and that he cannot
hide behind Haywood. That Orchard
is and has been for years a friend of
the mineowners and detectives and
was never a personal friend of Hay
wood. Orchard killed Steunenberg for
revenge and is trying to save his
neck by sacrificing the men, who
helped him.

of Last Meeting.
The last of the series of lectures
to be given by Father T. Z. Sher-
man, in this city was greeted by an
audience which overflowed st. Mary's
Catholic church last night.
The subject o fthe lecture was
"Why | Am a Catholic" and escpec-
tally appealed to all those interested
in religious subjects and it brought
out the really thinking, studious class
of citizens who appreciate literary
effort and sound reasoning and all
are loud in their praises of the mas
terful manner in which the subject
was handled by Father Sherman.
The series of lectures by Father
Sherman has been highly appreciated
and has left an excellent impression
in the city. The Catholic church was
filled every night during the week
and IL was hoped by many who heard
him that a lecture could have been
given In the fair pavilion one night
In which more people could attend.
Father Sherman is now visiting at

In order to test the new law pro-
viding a credit system at the Oregon
penitentiary habeas corpus proceed
ings were yesterday instituted in de-
partment No. = of the state circuit
court for Marion county to secure the
release OF r. z. Berry who is serving
a six-year term in the penitentiary

man. Berry was received at the pri-
son on May II. 1902, having been sen
fenced from Umatilla county. In
his complaint, which was led in court
yesterday by Attorneys Carson & Can
non OF this city, II is set forth that
under the new law Berry is entitled
to seventeen months credit, and
therefore should have been released
from the penitentiary on the first OF
the present month.

er or not Berry 10 entitled to the
benefits of the law since he was
received at the prison prior to the

TO RECLAIM MORE REsERT
Reclamation OF Fort Hall Tract VIII
Begin July I.

The government project which con-
templates the irrigation of the irri
gable lands on the Fort Hall Indian
reservation and that within the sew
en-r1ile limits of Pocatello is of vital
importance to that place, says a cor
respondent for the Boise Statesman.
The land adjacent to Pocatello, refer
red to comprises that within the orig
inal five-miles limit and that taken
in by the extension of this limit to
seven miles, making an area of 16,-
600 acres, 1900 acres of which can
be covered by irrigation.
The government act providing for
the construction of canals and later
ais to irrigate this tract and the Fort
Hill Indian lands, and for construct
ing a dam across Blackfoot river to
make storage reservoir of Black
foot lake, appropriates s350,00O for
this purpose and this sum will be
available July /, 1907.
Government surveyors have been
at work for the last four months
cross-sectioning and locating the
main canal and sub-laterals; and
within the last 10 days a larger
force of men was put on to survey
and fix the boundaries of Blackfoot
reservoir This reservoir takes in
Blackfoot lake, or marsh, and con-
siderable contiguous country, making
an area from one-half mile to three
miles wide and Il miles long.
Private property of the value of
100000, approximately, comes
within the reservoir site and these
holdings are to be acquired by the
! government, either by purchase or
by appraisement and condemnation
for reservoir purposes.
