FIRE DAMAGES STORE
OF MISS GRACE FAXON

A small fire was started at 8
O'Clock yesterday morning in the
store of Miss Grace Faxon by the end
flying off a match and igniting the
balloon ceiling. The paper hangs
loosely from the ceiling and the fire
was not noticed until the flames had
made some headway. Those in the
store succeeded, however, in extin-
gushing the confiagration before
much damage was done.
The fire bell was rung and the fire
department responded with its usual
promptness but as the flames were
under control their services were not
required.
The damage is estimated to be less
than 800.

STOCKTON, Cal, Sept. 21.--
frightened almost to a frenzy by the
quartering nearby of the menageries
of the Ringing circus, the valuable
horse of Manager J. w. Hall of the
Stockton Water company, has turned
partially white. ne horse is sensi-
tive and affectionate animal and gen.
orally fears nothing that dashes up
and down the streets of this city, but
the wild animals of the circus al
most drove her insane. She raved
about her stall and tore much of the
hide from herself after nearly
wrecking her manger. The morning
following the circus Hall was startled
to find that the horse had turned
white in spots. She is still being
driven about town and her coloring
is attracting much attention.

BEARS WILL SOON
RUN TO TALL TIMBER

RENO, Sept. 21.-The Nevada
Bear club. more than 20 strong. will
leave this city for the wilds of Plu-
mas county, CAL, on September 26,
and will spend more than week
hunting the monarchs of the forest.
Many of the club members, who for
merly went on these trips. for the
purpose of hunting quail and other
game, will not go, as they will have
to pay license of $40 to the game
wardens of California If they shoot
anything but bears.
The members of the Nevada Bear
club state that they do not intend to
shoot anything but grizzlies and
brown bears, and that they will for
that reason not have to pay the fine
of SO imposed by the game laws of
California on all nonresident hunt
ers shooting game.

NEW FORAGE PLANT.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Dec A.
Government experts at the agricul-
tural experiment station, near this
city, have demonstrated another for
age plant for this country. 1t is called
guar, and comee ofa Asia Minor.
The plant grows to about two feet and
is covered with bean pods Ike snap
beans. Not only these beans but the
whole plant, leafs, stalk and all, IS
very high in protein and other food
products. In fact it Is said to be more
nutritious than COW peas OF alfalfa
and to yield far greater gross ton
mage per acre. Furthermore, the
plant wristbands drouths and is not
only hardy but requires little cultiva-
ton. A number Of farmers hereabouts
made the experiment of cultivating
this plant simultaneously with the
government farm and the first crop
now being gathered is a decided sue
cess The first experiment with this
plant was made here because the eli
mate is more Ike that OF Asia Minor,
| from which 1t comes: experts believe.
| however. that the plant will grow
equally well in the western states.
and the government viii follow up It's
experiments In those states with Tex
as raised seed This plant is used
IN Asia Minor as food by the natives,
but in Ameraca It win probably be
used chiefly for animals. though II
may possibly be served as a break
fast food It belongs to the legumes,
and promises TO be a valuable add
ton to the agricultural products OF
! this country.

men ATTACKED
WHILE ASLEEP.
BADLY WOUNDED
Two Miners Assaulted BY An
other Who Thought He Lost
His Position Because of
Them-ASsailant Escaped.

PHOENIX, Dec. deputy Sheriff
w. T. Williams OF ella Bend arrived
in Phoenix this morning. bringing
with him John Ryan and Pete Cannon
two miners, who were seriously In
inrad in an assault committed upon
them on the night of Thanksgiving
day, near Dendora. Their assailants
have not yet been apprehende0.
The assault was particularly bru-
tai one. While asleep two men crept
upon Ryan and Cannon and hit them
in the head Ryan was knocked
from sleep into Inconsistencies by
blow from an AK. Cannon put up a
fight, but was subdued with pick.
Ryan and Cannon have been work
ing at a mine near Dendora, which is
about thirty miles northeast OF ella
Bend. For a time they had as a COM
panion Jim Canady, a hard drinker
and an all-round worthless character.
He was of little value as workman,
and Mrs. Dora Rowley of ella Bend,
| the owner of the mine, discharged him
| from her employ. Canady was very
angry and for some reason blamed
! Ryan and Cannon for the loss of his
| job, but he never had any particular
| trouble with either of them, and just
| before he left was given five dollars
| by Cannon, who knew ne was penni
| less.
Canady went TO ella Bend and
stayed there for a time, taking uI
with a hobo whose name is unknown
| Ryan never knew what hit him un
/ til it was all over. He was horribly
cut about the head with the blade oil
| the AK, and the shock of the first
blow left him unconscious.
Cannon, however, was not so badly
| injured, and put up fight. One OF
the brutal assailants held him, while
the other put him temporarily out Of
commission with a pick.
Cannon was not unconscious long
He was merely stunned and was able
to crawl down the side of the mount
ain about a mile and half to the
head of the Dendora canal, where
four men were working, and summon
help. One of the four men immedi
ately left for ella Bend to get Dep
uty Sheriff Williams, and in shor-
time returned with him, Josiah An
derson and two other men.
Early next morning the two extrs
men started back to ella Bend witt
the injured, while Williams and An
derson started out to track Canad!
and his companion. The fleeing
couple were on foot and had mad
straight across the mesa to the rail
road, twelve miles out. Here al
trace of them was lost. They ma.
have taken a train either east Of
west.
Both Cannon and Ryan are wei
known here, having spent some tim
loafing about town before going t.
Dendora. They were able to talk fail
ly well when they arrived here thi
morning, but it win take some tim,
for them to get into condition again
They were sent TO the county hosPita
to be cared for by Dr. Hughes

FIVE CASES OF SMALLPOX.
Also One of Diphtheria, But There is
No Contagion In Pendleton.

With five cases of smallpox now
prevalent in Milton and vicinity, the
north end of the county is undergoing
somewhat Of an epidemic OF th;.: dis
ease. However, the cases are all of
mild form and no serious results
are expected from any Of them.
Up to this time the following cases
of smallpox have been reported to DR..
D. ]. McFaul, secretary of the county
health board: Mrs. r. NJ. Dorothy,
living five miles southeast of Milton;
Clarence Hearst living near Freewa-
ter; ]. Hopkins, in Milton, and a case
in the home Of Mr.. Wallace in Mil
ton.
1t is believed that the Milton cases
had their origin in Walla Walla,
where the disease has been prevalent
for some time. Likewise in Spokane
there have been numerous cases.
Aside from the smallpox cases one
of diphtheria is reported from Milton.
The patient is Victor Campbell, living
two miles north of Milton. A case of
scarlet fever is also reported from
Athena, the victim being in the home
of man named Depot.
In view Of the epidemic at Milton
DR.. McFaul has been keeping careful
watch over the. remainder of the
county during the past few days. II
was feared for a time that woman
at Bingham station had the disease
but investigation proved the fear tc
be groundless. Also, it was rumored
that parties at Umatilla were suffer.
ing from smallpox, but upon investi-
| cation DR.. McFaul found the report
to be wrong. No cases whatever have
yet appeared in Pendleton, and prac,
tically no contagious diseases at al
have occurred here since last spring

To Abrugate an Old Act.

Salem, Ore, Jan. 23.--Believing
that 1t has outworn Its usefulness, in
the present days of civilization, Rep
,resentative Barrett of umatilla,
through the effects of a bill which he
fhas introduced in the house, proposes
to amend section 1869, one oftthe pio-
'neer sections Of the codes OF Oregon,
which abrogates the provisions maxi
ing It prohibhory to sell arms and
ammunition to Indians or half breed
Indians who formed associations with
1nthans, and the section will conf'ne
Its provisions to prohibiting the sale
or gift of intoxicating liquors to the
nemnants Of the original race of
Americans II the bill is enacted into
q law
THAT law" said Representative
Barrett, "was enacted in 1861, durin g
the heat of Indian warfare and mas
saeres and was intended to protect
the pioneers from the murderous as
sauits ,eaf the then bloodthirsty saw
ages. The times have changed entire
" since then and District Attorney
Phelps, al whose instance the meas
ure is introduced, believes there is
no longer any need OF these stringent
prohibitions. The bill also contem-
plates striking out proviso under
which Indians could obtain ammuni-
tion and even liquor upon permission
OF the United States authorities"

Greeley,~ppl., Jan. 23.-The potato
crop -os,,o Aern Colorado is estimat-
eSysp ,,os2cS rloads for 1906, being
H,oSsso Jess than that of last
.,nsB the crop was only 40 per
W After the harvest this years
.rop was estimated at $4,000. 900, but
shortage of cars to carry the crop
when demand and prices for 1t were
high will lose the community at least
$250,000 and cut down the value of
the crop to $1.750,000. Ninety-five
hundred carloads estimated in sacks
mean 2,375,0 900 sacks; in tons, 49,
500. and 4. 100000 bushels, or enough
to fill a train of refrigerator cars 29
miles long or cover an area of three
and a half miles long and three miles
wide is packed with sacks 10 feet
high.
Thirty thousand acres were planted
with potatoes this year and the aver
age yield was 10 sacks to the acre.
The quality was the best ever grown.
1t has been calculated that the cost
OF growing a sack Of potatoes is 35
cents, which makes the cost of pro-
ducing the full crop sS31,250, leav-
ing the growers $91S,000. Though
many farmers cut down their potato
acreage to give place TO beets, the
potato acreage will be largely in
creased during the coming season.

II the sheep market is to be demor-
allied this spring by the reductions
that have been made in the number to
be allowed within the forest reserves
1t shows no evidence of such at this
time. Though the market is now COM
paratively quiet it is understood that
much contracting has nevertheless
been done and the prices paid are the
highest in years.
Dan p. smythe, secretary of the
sheepmen's association, is authority
for the statement that mixed yearlings
for delivery Immediately after shear
| ing are being contracted for at prices
ranging from s2.5 to 1926 per head.
This is an advance of about so cents
per head over the price last year. For
yearling wethers the contracting
prices range from $3.50 to SO per
head, for delivery after shearing.
Mutton is selling at from 5A to 5h
cents per pound. But few ewes and
lambs are being contracted for, but
when such deals are made the price
paid is about 50 per head 70 reach.
l. Thus far but few rltside buyers
have been here for the purpose of
contracting sheep, but the local men
have been buster. Rhea Bros, of
Morrow county, have already bar
gained for many bands. Smythe &
S5n have done likewise, while nany
private trades have been agreed upon.
Fut While the prices at present are
soaring the sheepmen themselves pre-
dict that lower figures are liable to
prevail in the future. According to
Dan +. Smythe, the Price at present
Is being sustained largely by the fact
that sheepmen of Wyoming are seek
ing to improve their bands. At pres-
ent the sheep in their flocks hear
ahort half the wool produced by good
oregon sheep and as a result the men
from the Rocky mountains are seek-
ing Oregon sheep. However, this de-
mand will not last forever, and later
IN the spring, when it will be neces-
sary for the growers to reduce their
flocks, lower prices are liable to re-
suit.
| 1t is estimated by Washington
sheepmen that at least $1,000 Wash
ington sheep will be forced out of the
Wenaha reserve this spring. Reduc-
tions will also be made in the Una,
tilla county sheep allowed in the east
eTn division of the Blue mountain re-
serve. This will naturally work to-
wards a lowering of prices, but to
what extent the market will be af-
fected remains to be seen,

New York, Jan. 23.-Crowds
thronged the streets early in an en-
deavor to see Thaw enter the court.
Thousands of applications for places
in the court room were rejected. Two
hundred newspaper men from this
country and Europe were admitted.
These, with the attaches of the court
and those directly connected with the
trial will cause the exclusion of the
general public.
The prisoner remained in the jury
room during the roll call of talesmen,
which was soon concluded. District
Attorney Jerome moved that Thaw be
arraigned for trial on charge of mur-
der. Judge Fitzgerald cautioned the
spectators against any outbursts or
noise. The clerk called Harry K.
Thaw to the bar" Thaw. pale and
nervous. walked quickly to his seat.
He nodded smilingly to relatives. He
wore dark blue suit and great brown
ulster, which he threw over his shoul-
ders after being seated a few min
to retain his self-control.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Mrs. VIII
liam Thaw; Evelyn, Countess of Var
mouth; Mrs. George Carnegie and
May Mckenzie, escorted by Edward
Thaw and George Carnegie, were
shown to designated seats
Charles Dryden. an engineer. was
the first talesman called. He indi-
Gated that he had biased opinion
hfnh l,t pt
NIT of impartial consideration of the
evidence. He was excused from the
| case.
After the close of the examination
Dryden was peremptorily challenged
During the examination of Dryden
Jerome made his first reference to the
"unwritten law" He asked the tales
man If he would allow such a law to
enter into his judgment. Thaw's
counsel objected to the question. Dry
den said he would be guided by the
| direction of the court in all law
| points.
Deming B. Smith was accepted and
sworn after short examination.
Smith is retired manufacturer.
Thaw was ordered to stand while
Smith was being sworn. Smith was
then declared foreman of the jury.
Frank p. Hail, a painter, was the
second juror selected, at 1906. Ad-
journment was taken until this af-
ternoon.
A number of the panel were absent
and were fined 800.
Disorder marked the opening of the
case. The police reported many
clashes, there not being room for all
the correspondents seeking admission
All scribes were forced to present the
strictest credentials to secure admit
tance.
