YET MORE CRIMINAL CASES
Many Weeks Will Be Taken in Clear
ing of Docket.

Though the jury session of circuit
court has now been on for IS days,
says the East Oregonian, and two
murder cases have been disposed of,
the criminal docket is far from being
cleared. One murder trial and num-
erous minor criminal cases are yet to
be worked out.
On next Monday morning the case
of James Sawyer. charged with muT-
der in the first degree for having shot
Jack, Monroe, will be called. OF the
three murder trials for this term Saw
yer is the only man indicted for mur-
der in the first degree and consequent
ly his case will be of additional
interest through the fact that the de-
fendant's life will be at stake.
Following the Sawyer case Jack
McCarty will be tried for having
robbed J. P. MoManus in the Idle
Hour rooming house, Interest in this
case will lie largely'i in the fact that
McCarty is the man whom the state
sought to show McManus, believed he
had killed when he SHOT BOZ Estes.
Aside from these there are several
less important criminal cases pending
and it will be many weeks before all
can DO tried.

RESIDENCE ON FIRE
A Blaze at the McEwen Home Call
Out the Fire Department
Tuesday Evening.

Fire was discovered Tuesday even
ing IN the upper story of the McEwen
home, and before it was put out hy the
fire department, which responded
promptly. several hundred dollars
damage resulted to building and house
hold goods.
After tbe hose teams arrived on the
scene, considerable delay was made in
getting water for the reason that hose
had to be laid over a block.
The fire originated from the pipe
connected with heating stove. No
fire had been placed in the stove for
some time prior to Tuesday evening,
the family having come in from the
ranch on that day. The fire started
between the floor and ceiling and
when the stair door was opened,
draft was created which swept the
flames under the floor of an adjoining
room, and for time the fire threaten
cd to break through at the west side of
the house.
The fire boys worked like trojans and
finally got water in the right place
and the fire was soon out. Consider
able damage resulted to furniture, etc.,
from water. >

he had located some land, and go into
business for himself.
No trace can be found of any deposit

BOMB VICTIM DEAD
Ex-Sheriff at Baker City Who Was
Dynamited Monday Night
Succumbs to Wounds.

Harvey Brown, ex-sherif of Baker
county, was dynamited by an assas.
sin, at the front gate to his home in
Baker City Monday night at 10:3O,
and suceumbed to his wounds at $40
Tuesday afternoon. after regaining
consciousness and making the follow
ing statement:
II was on my way home from up
town last night when met man in
| front of residence which is a block
from my own house. and spoke. The
ran made no response. This man was
about five feet ten inches tall, his
weight was about 165 pounds. He
wore brown suit and celluloid collar,
and was smooth shaven. l have been
conscious of having been followed for
the past three weeks, and have no
doubt that those who attempted my
life are persons connected with the
Western Federation of Miners, and
that | was marked for death on ac.
count of my connection with the
Steunenberg and Steve Adams cases.
The manner in which he met his death
resembles to the remotest detail the
assassination of Ex-Governor Steunen-
berg OF Idaho, nearly two years ago.
At every turn, one is confronted by
the startling similarity to the Steunen-
berg outrage. Even the counterparts
to the two red chalk marks which ap-
peared on the Steunenberg gate are
found on the gate posts of the fence.
He was returning to his home in the
north part of the city after spending
few minutes down town. AS he open
ed the gate to enter his own premises
there was a terrific explosion and he
was found in a horribly mangled cou-
dition lying on the sidewalk. One leg
was blown entirely away, one arm
! badly shattered and otherwise serious.
iy injured
Three theories have been advanced
as the probable cause of the crime.
First, friends of Alex. Widdowson,
who was tried and acquitted of the
murder of Willard Moody of Pine val
ley. Second. the saloon and gambling
element, who remember the days when
Brown was sheriff and sat heavily on
the lid" for two years. Third, mem.
bers of the Western Federation of
Miners. Brown having for some time
been in the employ of the state of
Idaho through the Plnkerton Detective
agency during the trial of Haywood.
The oredence given each theory var
les with the personal knowledge of
each individual citizen with the cir
cumstances surrounding each of the
above three possible causes.
He was known to Ee a courageous
man and detective of no mean ability. |
In politics he was clean, above
board and consistent fighter. He was
a candidate for the nomination for
governor of the state of Oregon at the |
last direct primary election on the re-
publican ticket, and polled a surpris-
ingly large vote, though unsuccessful.
He carried the city of Baker City and
Baker county over @. A. Johns, then
mayor of the city, who was also can
didate for the nomination for governor.

WALLA WALLA WHEAT MOVING
Large Sales al 76 Cents f. 0. b. Dur
ing Past Week.

Some of the biggest wheat sales of
the season have been closed this week,
says the Walla Walla Bulletin.
Among the largest deals made by the
Jones-Scott company was the Purchase
of $4,000 bushels from Ben Grote,
$4,000 bushels from the Ennie estate.
and $4,000 bushels from Roscoe Drum
heller, the price in each instance being
quoted in the neighborhood of rs
cents I. 0. b.
More wheat has been moving this
week than at any time previous this
season. 1t is estimated that at least
1000 bushels of wheat and barley have
been sold up to the present time. The
total yield in this county will apbroxi-
innate about 100000 bushels. Moro
barley was raised this year than has
ever been raised in the county before,
and the price quoted. $I.05, has made
barley one Of the most profitable crops
produced. AS result of this years
experiments many farmers will next
year increase the acreage in barley.

The attendance at Whitman is better
this year than ever before. A twenty
five per cent increase in the college has

There is also noticeable improvement
in the quality of attendance, and tho
faculty feel that a finer body of
students was never assembled in tho
college halls. The work is now fully
under way, and the wheels are moving
smoothly. improvements have been
made during the summer, much addi.
tional scientific apparatus has been
installed in the laboratories, and the
college library considerably increased.

VERDICT WAS MANsLAUGHTER
Reached in Horseman Case After Sew
enteen Ballots Were Taken.

State of Oregon VS.. George L. Horse
man.
1--WE, the jury in the above entitled
case, find the defendant, George L.
Horseman; guilty of manslaughter.
That George Horseman was not JUS
titled when he fred the shot that kill
ed Clarence McBroom last May was
declared yesteI day by the jury ia
the Horseman case when it returned
the above verdict.
Not only was Horseman held to be
guilty of crime, but during II bal
lots two men stood steadfastly for con-
fiction of murder in the second degree.
On the first ballot the vote stood two
for second degree, five for manslaugh-
ter and five for not guilty. However
those who had voted for acquittal ex-
planned to their fellow JURORS that they
did not really favor such verdict but
had voted SO whMe they meditated up
on the degree of guilt.
After the first ballot these men
gradually changed their votes and up
on the fifth ballot the voting was 10
for manslaughter and two for second
degree. This was the situation when
the jury retired for the night at 10:30,
after having taken nine ballots. Next
morning voting was resumed at an
early hour and upon the 18th ballot
the result was unanimous for man
slaughter.
Tuesday morning, October s. was
then set by Judge Bean as time for
passing sentence upon Horseman and
in behalf of the defendant Judge Fee
asked until that time in which to file
motion for new trial.

The Wood Lot.

Obtaining winter fuel is a kind of
work that claims the farmers atten-
ton. and the one who has a wood lot
sufficient for the needs of the house
and farm should realize that he has
good kind of property in hand. 1t
should be the desire and determination
of every such one as far as possible to
preserve the wood lot intact-that is.
care should be exercised to keep it in
good, thrifty condition. Where this
method is followed the annual supply
of fuel may be obtained and not de-
tract from the usefulness and value of
the land.
This will mean carefulness in select
ing out and removing trees past their
maturity or not desirable to leave
standing and to do it in way that will
not injure the standing timber. The
thrifty young trees should be encour-
aged in their growth for future use
Sometimes it may be best to cut off the
entire growth and allow another to
grow up in its place. In such cases 1t
would be better not to allow stock to
run upon the land.-American Cultiva.

The postoffice department says
the Milford Chronicle has decided
that children going to and from
school shall not be allowed to get
their parents mail, so do not blame
the postmaster if your children are
refused the mail. The postofice
habit among the children has be-
come a nuisance both to the public
and the postmaster, and the depart
ment has done wisely in making
this decision.
