Sunday morning, when he shot his
sweetheart, Arabella Miller, and her es-
cort, John Heider. staggered up to the
Miller home at o'clock last night and
surrendered to the father of the girl
he wounded
Newburg had an ugly wound behind
his ear, self-inflicted with the revolver
used on his victims. He saved one
shot for the purpose of committing
suicide. Lack of acquaintance with
firearms, which caused him to select
a 22-caliber revolver, probably saved
the girls life and prevented him from
killing himself
He had been lying in his own blood
all day. when, exhausted from hunger,
he crept in from his hiding place in
the woods TO the dooryard. where he
overheard a conversation that convinc-
! ed him that ArabelIa was not dead,
whereupon he gave himself up.
The girl and her escort are pronounc-

Confident that irrigated Umatilla
lands offer a great field for exploita-
tion and investment, H. L. Moody, of
the Moody Land Company of Spokane
is said to have headed a syndicate of
Spokane capital for operations in
Umatilla county.
The lands to be taken by the Spo-
kane people are along the Umatilla
river in the vicinity of and just be-
low the ]. E. Smith ranch at Barn.
hart, where, according to the story
current among real estate people in
this city, some several hundred acres
are or are to be contracted for. II
is the purpose of the Moody people,
according to the story current, to put
this land up into small tracts, adopt
ing the methods used in the settle
ment of the tracts neighboring to
Spokane.
The prices paid it is said will
amount to about $500 per acre for
the holdings purchased. the lands at
that price embracing not only the bot
tom lands but also some portion Of
hill land and bluffs which bring the
average price to that low sum.
The bottom lands which are to be
sold off as small tracts are to be ir-
rigated from the Umatilla river, it is
said, and the company will probably
put in an irrigating system to supply
the water from that source. Much of
the property in question however SUBJ
irrigates very thoroughly and but lit
tie water will be needed in many In
stances.
Lying in its sheltered location be-.
tween the high bluffs of the river the
land has already demonstrated its de-
STABILITY as fruit land, being shelter
ed from the frosts, having a deep rich
bottom soil and sunshine and sum-
mer enough to thoroughly mature
any fruits.
If the present negotiations continue
and the Spokane people take the pro-
ject up along the contemplated lines,
as is likely, the country will no doubt
make good in a big way and be a
money maker for both the promoter
and the purchaser Of tracts.
