Set Fire to Timber.

Tolle Spray is the man who sci
fire to the Umatilla forest reserve
near the line between Grant and
Wheeler counties on August 2e
and September 2, and destroyed
six sections of standing timber.
This statement was made by
United States District Attorney
John McCourt says the Portland
Journal.
Mr.. NcCourt says the man was
seen and chased by Forest Super
visor Chidsey but escaped and has
so far eluded capture, though 1t is
expected that he will be caught be.
fore long. Revenge on settlers
living in the timber, for injuries
either real or fancied, is supposed
to be the cause of the incendiary
acts.
Spray set fire to the forest twice.
The first time was on August 29,
He was caught in the act and
chased by Cbidsey, but managed to
get away. The fire was eXtin-
guished.
A few days later. on September
2, the incepdiary returned to make
another attempt to finish his work.
He again set fire to the timber and
as a result large area was burned
over. Spray was again chased by
Supervisor Chidsey, but once more
succeeded in making his escape.
He has told some one living in the
district that he is going to Canada,
and the United States authorities
hope to capture him before he gets
out of ther jurisdiction.

diana arrived at Oregon City, az
appointee as territorial governor
with a commission in his pocket
bearing the signature of James K.
