who reside on the Washington side
of the river, were arrested Tues.
day by Deputy Game Warden Cur.
dane and Deputy Sherlsh Nash.
When taken by the officers at
the mouth of Rhea creek in this
county, 1t was found that the 81
washes had been making rich

game laws. g.
In the Indian outfit there were
about 40 deer hides, besides good
collection of heads and horns and
a large quantity of fresh and
jerked venisou.
At this time of year when the
SHOWS are deep in the high alti-
tudes, the mule deer OF the Blue
mountains congregate in herds and
it is an easy matter to surprise the
animals and slaughter them in
large numbers.
The Indians all submitted to ar
rest without trouble with the ex-
ception of Pitts who was highly
indignant at the audacity of the
pale faced officers. He was rer-
suaded not to 60 on the warpath,
and all four were taken before

TIMBER LAND
INVESTIGATION
Hearing Now in Progress
at Court House.

Testimony in the Morrow coun
ty timber land cases in which con
spiracy is alleged by the govern
ment, is now being taken at tn
court house.
The testimony is being taken be
fore Referee Pruitt, who is assisted
by Attorney F. G. Rabb, of Port
land.
Attorney Frank Melvin, of Port.
land, appears for the entrymeD
and Attorney Sam E. Van Vactor
is attorney for the Northwest Tim
Der Company.
F. A. Read, of Portland has
been in Heppner for the past
month for the purpose of securing
evidence on the part of the govern
ment.
The present hearing is the pre-
liminary for the final disposition of
the case.
The case is a tedious one owing
to the large number of witnesses
to be examined. There are about
30 entrymen connected with the
case which will necessarily bring
forth a great mass of evidence.
The case is brought by the gov
ernment to determine the validity
of title to the lands and to ascer-
tain if any of the lands were OBJ
tanned fraudulently.
The testimony taken here will
go to the LaGrande land Office,
and from there will 60 to Wash
ington for final disposition before
the department.
The lands in question are To-
Gated in the extreme southeastern
portion of Morrow county in the
land district.
This suit has gained consider.
able notoriety in the public eye,
owing to the large number of
prominent people connected with
t as we'll as the ownership of
Dig body of valuable timber land. ,
The history of the case dates
back from the time of the Hepp-
Ter food in 1903, and has been
lragging along ever since. !;
At the time of the failure of
he Farmers and Traders National :
,ank at LaGrande, in going over
he papers and records of the de- !
unct banks cashier, it is alleged
hat valuable evidence was un-
arthed indicating fraud in the &C. 9
uirement of the lands In question.
During this time agents of the
overnment have been quietly but
igorously working on the case.
Since the filing of the entrymen
be claims have been allowed to
ass through the routine of the
md laws and ownership of the
'nds has passed into the hands of
le Northwest Timber Company,
pokane syndicate. III

NEGRO susPEcTs SHOES FIT
INTO TRACKS AROUND sAMP-
SON HoME.-HuMAN BLOOD
FOUND ON HAMMER.

Patrolman George School, OF Hunt
station, gave damaging testimony
against James Williams, alias Walter
Hall, the Negro charged with burglar
izing the residence of Gilbert Samp'
son and assaulting members of the
household. In Judge Connolly's court,
Thursday morning. He told OF finding
plates on the heels of Williams shoes
and OF fitting them into the tracks
around the Sampson home the morn
ing after the burglary and assault.
They tailed perfectly. and fact that
made the evidence all the stronger
was that the heel plates were on the
inside edge of the heel rather than
on tn outer edge, where they are
placed customarily.
Max Simon, a boarder In the home
and brother Of Mrs. Sampson, pre-
ceded School on the stand and identi-
fed Williams as the man who attack
ed him. He repeated his story sub
stantially as reported at the time or
the assault.
County Chemist John Il. Clark tes-
tilted positively that human blood was
found on the hammer taken from
williams at the time of his arrest. He
had subjected the stains on the ham
mer head to four tests. which he de-
scribed as the microscopic. the spec
troscopic, the chemical and the scroll
ogical Each OF these showed the

A grave question as TO the powers

raised by the action OF one OF the as
sistants To the corporation counsel in
returning without approval the con-
tract executed by Park Commissioned
Hinchman. giving George Street, Jr-
the exclusive boating and canoe stor'
age privilege at Belle Isle for two
years, beginning April l. 1909. The
reason given Is that the park depart
meut has no right to grant exclusive
privileges.
Its about time that the corporation
counsels office passed on that opin-
ion." says Park Secretary Hurlbut.
This decision 10 an entirely new one.
however. The conduct Ia precisely
similar 10 those for other privileges
on Belle Isle. and Is a duplicate. prac-
tically, CT the old contract.
1T would be impossible for the city
to let these concessions unless We
gave exclusive privileges. No one
would invest $4,000 in boats and
equipment unless he had an assurance
Of exclusive rights. This does not pre-
vent any one who wishes TO from using
the canals Of the island. Neither does
this contract affect the boat club and
yacht club. as they are not oil Belle
Isle and dc not let their beats and
canoes for hire"
1t has always been supposed that the
park department had the right to grant
exclusive privileges.

Moody, promoters, now face charge
OF defrauding the management out
of board bills OF $102 and $40 respec-
lively. Justice Jeffries issued the war
rants Thursday noon on the complaint
OF william J. Chittenden. IT.. one OF
the managers.
The cases will be In the nature OF
a test. Justice Jeffries was doubtful
whether the circumstances were such
as to come within the statute under
which the prosecution Is brought, as
the defendants have paid between $3oo
and s4OO to the hotel management
since their arrival there, the sums
mentioned In the warrants represent
ing the amounts now due from eacn,
for which demand was made Saturday.
The question arises whether. In view
of the former payments, the hoteI
company did not extend credit to us
guests. in which case there was no
violation Of the law. This Is the ques-
ton that Is to be threshed out and II
was for this purpose, largely, that
Justice Jeffries consented to issue the
warrants. A similar case presented
itself some weeks ago, and In that In
stance the defendant was discharged.
There Is more likelihood Of an appeal
in the present instance. Both Flock
art and Moody were still at the hotel.
Thursday morning. though they had
been ordered to leave by the manage
ment, Mr. Chittenden says.
Mr.. Chittenden admitted that one or
the men had offered to settle IL given
time. explaining that he expected to
swing a 100000 deal very shortly.
