WALLA COUNTY TESTING OR.
ECON LAW.

The trial of Walla Walla county
sheep men for alleged violation of the
Oregon quarantine law. in permitting
sheep to pass across the line before tho
expiration of time allowed in the
quarantine law, will come up for cone
sideration in Pendleton tomorrow.
Johnson Brothers, H. c. BrysoL. and
other Walla Walla sheepmen. charged
with violations of the quarantine law,
are prepared to make a vigorous de-
fense with a view of getting the law
declared unconstitutional.
The Oregon quarantine law was one
of many measures taken by Oregon
sheepmen TO annul the decision of the
forest reserve officials in permitting
Washington sheep grazing on what is
termed Oregon territory. Oregon sheep
men took umbrage at the decision of
Ranger Schmitz in giving Washing
ton sheepmen the same privileges on
Oregon territory as the oregon sheep
men and appealed to the forest reserve
Officials Ranger Schmitz' decision was
sustained and i'm order TO hamper the
Washington sheep men, it is alleged
that the quarantine law was evolved.
1t is alleged that Washington sheep
men did not fully observe the quar-
|antine law and the cases involved viii
be brought TO Trail at Pendleton tomor-
row.

HAND Of EXECUTION STAYED
BY DECREE OF GOVERNOR MEAD
Efforts of Attorney Blair Are Rewarded
And Da|ton's Death Sen. ece
Is COmmuted.

Although tomorrow morning at sun
rise was the time set for his execu-
tion James Dalton, convicted of the
crime of murder, slept more peace
fully in his bunk behind iron bars
within the walls of the penitentiary
than two years. The grim scaffold from
which Dalton was to be hurled into
eternity has been cheated of it's victim
aid the hand of the executioner has
been stayed by the decree of the chief
executive of the state who has COM
muted the sentence of death to one of
life Imprisonment This word was re-
ceived yesterday evening by Dalton
from mis- attorney, J. r. Blair of Spo-
kane whose tireless efforts have been
responsible for the saving of Dalton's
life.
The fight for Daltons life since the
commission of the crime, April 4, 1905,
and since the noted trial, ending about
year ago in Spokane when the ac-
cused was convicted of the murder of
Policeman Stotko, has been fiercely
fought aid the Communication of the
governor was obtained only after en-
listing the services of nearly the en-
tire bar of Spokane county, together

a reprieve for the sake or allowing
Daltons attorney and friends TO sub

BIair's Letter.
Attorney Blair to whom the action
taken in the matter by Governor
Mead must be accredited, recently for
warded letter to the states executive
in which he set forth many reasons
why Dalton should not be executed.
The letter is one of unusuai interest
and it is believed that it was partly
through the merits of the letter that
Governor Mead consented to commute
the sentence. The letter reads in part,
as follows:
James Dalton was charged with the
shooting and killing of Mr.. Stotko "by

The crime was committed at Shir-

4:10 a. m., shots having been heard at
that time, according to the testimony
of the state. One Lord. a witness for
the state. testified in order to identify
Dalton as one of a group of four seen
standing at the street corner, diagon-
ally across the tracks from the ware
house, either two minutes before a
