STORIES OF SCOTCH JUDGES.
INDUCED In Levity When Human Life
Was at Stake.

Lord Salvesen in an address at
Edinburgh recalled the old days when
human life was held very cheap and
judges frequently INDUCED in levity
when life was at stake.
On n occasion Sir Francis Bacon
was nightly importuned" by a male
factor to saw his life. All appeals
failed and the culprit at length
pleaded for mercy on account of his
kindred. your name" said he, lis
Bacon and my name is Hog, and in
all ages Hog and Bacon are so nearly
kindred that they are not to be sepa-
rated" AYE, but" replied the judge,
you and l cannot be kindred except
you be hanged, for Hog is not Bacon
until 1t be well hanged"
Similar callousness vas evinced by
Scottish judges even as late as the
18th century. Lord Braxfield seemed
to have taken a positive pleasure in
obtaining convictions in cases and 1t
was he who told an unfortunate Gull
but that he would be name the waur
O. a hanging"
On another occasion, when this
Judge noticed a juryman who was a
personal friend entering the court he
exclaimed: Come ava Mister, come
ava, and help me to hang a few O.
they damned scoondrels."
In 1870 Lord Kaimes presided at
the trial of a man named Matthew
Hay, with whom he had been in the
habit Of playing at chess. He summed
up against the prisoner and when he
was convicted exclaimed, That's

Two new trains will be added to
the o. R. & n. time card into Pen
dleton, if plans of the officials are
| carried into execution.
While it is not officially announc-
ed as yet, it is known that the Of
ficials are working on a new time
card which may possibly be ready for
November /, which will give Pendle-
ton an early morning train from
Huntington and northbound train
early in the morning to Spokane.
But meager details of the arrange
ment are to be had at this time, but
1t is said that the company is making
arrangements to run a train out Of
Pendleton to Spokane, early in the
morning, in order to carry the pas
sengers who transfer from the main
line in the night, for the north.
This will leave the regular Spo-
kane train, No. s, free to wait here
for No. 1, the main line westbound
train which is due at 11:40, but which
is late much of the time. Under this
arrangement both No. and No L
will have a northbound connection
here which will prevent and avoid the
transfer at Umatilla.
1t is also said that an early morn
ing train from Huntington is in an
ticipation which will connect here
with the Pendleton-P Portland local. or
which would be in effect continual
tion of the Portland local to Hunting
ton and will serve as a regular local
train running between the schedule
time of Nos. / and 5.
With the present excellent train
service enjoyed by Pendleton this will
give her service not enjoyed by any
other inland point in the northwest
excepting Spokane.
The official announcement of the
change in the service will perhaps be
ready within a short time and 1t is
known that the new service will BEN
eft all of eastern Oregon and espec-
tally Pendleton.

Lack of Definite Program at Mil

Seattle, Oct. 25.-A break in the
lines of the striking press telegraph
ers may be expected at any hour
now, say close observers of the sit
uation.
1t is believed that within the next
three days the majority of the old
press association men, now on a
strike, will be back at work.
1t is stated on reliable authority
that old men are now back at Butte,
Seattle, Tacoma, Helena, Missoula
and Salt Lake. These desertions will
undoubtedly affect the situation in
San Francisco and Portland and de-
sertions are looked for in these cit
les before Monday.
Lack Of definite progressive pro-
gram at the Milwaukee convention
and the disheartening action of the
late President Small are mainly re-
sponsible for the return of the men.

AS a result of the long, dry spell
and resulting lack of succulent feed
sheep are dying all over eastern Ore
gon and the total loss to the growers
will he considerable.
Thus far the losses to the indivld-
ual growers have not been heavy,
but almost all of those whose sheep
have been placed on winter ranges
have suffered some.
From reports that have been re-
ceiyed here it appears that the loss
has been heaviest in Morrow and
Gillian counties, though Umatilla
county growers have also been hit to
some extent
Lose 200 Head.
AT Arlington, Smythe & Son have
lost in the neighborhood of 200 head
all told and William Smith, another
large grower of that county, has met
with a similar loss, while smaller
bands have suffered in proportion.
10 Head Per Day.
In Morrow county one grower has
been losing sheep at the rate of 10
head per day and yesterday DR.. w.
H. Lytle, state sheep inspector, was
summoned to investigate the matter.
He left on the westbound local train
this morning for Heppner.
Think Herds Are Poisoned.
As to the exact cause of the deaths
IN their bands the sheepmen differ
in opinion, some believing that the
sheep have become poisoned. How
ever, it is the opinion of DR.. Lytle
that the trouble has been all due TO
the fact that the excessively dry
grass that the bands have been fed
upon since their return from the
Change of Pasturage.
Under the rules of the forestry bu-
reau the sheep must be taken from
the summer ranges in the reserves by
October IS. In accordance with this
rule practically all of the sheep of
eastern Oregon have been brought
back to the lower ranges from the
'i"9SS PASTURES III lHe mountains. As |
here has been no rain since early
n the fall there is no new grass for
he bands to feed upon and the con- |
iition has caused disaster.
One hopeful feature of the pres
mt situation is the fact that the IA
alities in the various bands seem TO
'row less as the sheep become more
accustomed to their new pastures.
mis- morning Dan. p. Smythe, sec
etary of the sheep commission. re-
eived work from his father in Ar
ington to the effect that no new loss
S were occurring there and it NAV
'e that the epidemic will prove less
erious than has been feared.
But among sheepmen as well as
attlemen and farmers alike the pray
r is for rain. To the stockmen II
lands for new grass, which means
verything in the wintering of sheen
nd cattle, while among farmers
1oisture is wanted so as to make fall
york possible.
