Not alone for land fraud artists,
defaulting adjutant generals and
blind pig operators is the fame that
goes with a grand jury indictment.
This was proven yesterday afternoon
when word was received here of the
indictment by the Wallowa county
grand jury of Jack Huston, the WE'LL
known printer, and Rev. W. t. Eus-
ter, former pastor of the Methodist
church of this city, but who is now
pastor of the sunnyside Methodist
church of Portland.
For the alleged breach of the laws
regarding the setting out of fires in
forest have the two hen been indict-
ed by the Wallowa county Jury.
Though details are lacking il is the
presumption that the reputed viola--
ton occurred last summer while the
two men in question were upon a
hunting jaunt in the wilds about WAL
Iowa lake.
The first news of the affair reached
here yesterday afternoon when the
Wallowa county sheriff 'phoned to
Sheriff Taylor to take the two men
into custody He was informed that
but one of them was in the city and
that he would not escape. This sur
ficed the official who promised to
come after his imam" today How
ever he has not yet arrived and Mr..
Huston is worried lest he has been
lost by the wayside.
According to Mr. Huston he is alb
solutely in the dark regarding the
charges against him and Mr.. Bus-
ter. He says they were hunting in
Wallowa county but that he recalls no
overt act which they committed He
is positive no forest fires resulted
from their carelessness and is in
hopes of easily proving his innocence.
He phoned this forenoon to his for
mer hunting partner and says that Mr.
Euster is likewise astounded at the
news of his indictment.
May Be Warning.
1t is possible that the indictments
against Messrs Euster and Huston
were secured in order to warn others
who may go hunting in the hills OF
Wallowa county. Under the law there
Is a severe penalty for those who set
out forest fires maliciously or through
gross carelessness. But in local legal
circles the opinion prevails that eth
er maliciousness or undue careless
ness must be proven in order to Sc
cure conviction.
The hunting trip by Messrs Euster
md Huston was taken last summer
shortly after the close of the prohi-
oition campaign during which Rev.
custer led the prohibition forces while
Mr.. Huston published the Monday
Magnet in behalf of the saloon forces.
Now After Euster.
This afternoon Mr.. Huston received
word from Enterprise that the sheriff
lad gone on to Portland to secure
Rev. Euster and that he is relying up-
IN Sheriff Taylor to take care of the
'endleton man. He will pass through
n train No in the morning and Mr..
iuston will proceed to Enterprise with
he party.
According to Mr. Huston he receiv-
d some information this afternoon
hat convinces him that the whole
ifficulty has grown out of case of
mistaken identity.
VIII Furnish Bond.
Late this afternoon Huston got in
communication with the district
ttorney for Wallowa county and the
litter informed the local printer that
he sent over a satisfactory bond it
'ould not be necessary for him to 60
Enterprise until at some later date.
his bond will be furnished.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE ALMA

Piles taken from the face of the
drift at this point show returns
of eight per cent lead and sc

It is the intention to continue
the drift, prosecuting at inter-
walls to ascertain the width of the
ledge. The property adjoins the
claims of the Mullan Mining
company and is being developed
under the management of A. J.
Dawson. The present showing
is said to be the best and most
promising ever made in the
mine.

ing out ore.

made in Wallace and it is ex-
pected that shipments will be
made during the coming sum-
mer. Some fine samples of the

LEAD sTR|NGER N MOON CREEK

4-inch stringer of ore running

property of the Moon Creek Min
ing company. Samples of the
ore were brought to town by

The property is being develop
ed by an incline shaft. All the
way down it has been in heavy
iron and this is now giving way
to copper and lead ore. 1t is be-
lieved that in a comparatively
short time the copper values
will be displaced by lead. The
mine is fully equipped and de-
velopment will be kept up all
through the summer.

nouncement that a strike had
been made in the property was
made in the last issue of The
Miner and it now appears that
the ore body is much more ex-
tensive than had been expected
at that time. The ore occurs in
the form of chalcopyrites and
some bornite but no assays have
been made.
The property is traversed by
two lodges, the latter of which is
lead-silver and it is estimated
that about 300 feet of work will
have to be done before this is
encountered by the present
workings. This is regarded as
the main ledge. The property
is being developed under a con-
tract let some time ago to the
Grenfell brothers of Kellogg and
recently a lease was taken of the
Wisconsin compressor. 1t is be-
ieved that the lead-silver ledge
of the Teddy company is the
same as that which is being de-
veloped on the Wisconsin prop
erty which it adjoins.
