To Make Condor Dry.

Condor, Ore.-A petition to the
legislature is being circulated asking
that body to grant a change of char
ter to Condor, so it may conform en-
tirely with the local option law and
in no way annul any of its provisions.
This petition is being circulated by A.
X. York, a farmer OF Ferry Canyon.
The farmers are strongly in favor of
dry county, as 1t means much to
them during the busy harvest season.
Condor, 1t may be said, favors being
wet, since the city needs the revenue
and the council licensed the four sa-
looms three months ago after the peo-
pie had voted dry in June.

Judges, jury and audience were
treated to a diversion yesterday af-
ternoon during the Horseman trial
when Jim Hall was called to the stand
and was required to testify in regard
to the position, the distance from the
school house, and the direction in
which each of the fighters was stand
ing during the fight that preceded
the shooting of McBroom.
Hall was being questioned as to
the position of the fighters and At
tcrney Fee was demanding that he
be more explicit.
Tell me exactly where they were
standing at the time they were fight
ing" said Mr.. Fee.
We'll some times they were stand
ing in one place and some times in
another" said the witness.
We'll, were they standing directly
in front of the school house2"
well, l can't exactly say"
Were they to one side of the door
and in front?"
"Yes part of the time"
We'll, were they a little in front Of
the left side of the school house?"
Some of the time"
We'll, can't you say exactly where
the fighters were at the time you saw
.them?" said Attorney Fee,
We'll, you know how 1t is Judge
Fee. when couple Of men are fight
ing, they don't stand in one place all
the time, but move first to one place
and then to another. You know how
that is yourself, you had a fight your
self once"
You're a liar" roared Mr.. Fee,
losing his temper, then the attorney
for the defense had a little word
fencing that stirred up a little excite
nent for a while while the judge
'apped for order
At another time when the attorney
'or defense was trying to determine
he distance he asked the witness
low far he was from the fighters.
Were you as far from them as to
ir. Phelps?" asked Mr. Fee.
The witness did not seem to see the
attorney and Mr.. Fee
sked him if he did not know Mr..
helps.
Yes, and 1 know you too" said the
illness with sarcasm.
This caused considerable merri-
lent and Judge Fee lost his temper
gain, The defenSes counsel called
lie witness a liar at other statements
he witness made. but later apollo
lied to the judge and jury for his
asty speaking.
The trial up to the present time is
roceeding very slowly the same
round being tediously covered that
as gone over at the last trial. The
ritten testimony of the previous
ial is being gone over again and
'actically the same questions are be-
6 asked with practically the same
lswers. The attempts of the de-
nse to rattle the states witnesses
I've been futile. as all of them so
r have been over the ground before
Id know what is expected and yet
I've not faltered at any of the
Iestions asked.
The testimony so far hes been from
e witnesses and consists principally
the facts of the trouble that oc-
rred at the fight.

as the different counties increase in
value they will have to pay their tax
according to their valuation.
The per centage of the taxes was
divided to a certain extent according
to the value of the counties but the
total values were added up, the aver
age taken and each county was to pay
a certain pro rata of hundred per
cent.
A bill for the new system will be
presented to the legislature and will
prove more satisfactory to both the
county and the state. This change
however will not affect the taxes
within the county.
