JURY CONVICTS HIM
OF HORSE STEALING

After having his case submitted to
three different juries by three diff
ferent prosecuting officers. Lynn Hill
has been convicted of the crime of
horse stealing, the last jury return
ing verdict of guilty after deliber-
ating for less than an hour. The ver-
dict was brought in late yesterday
afternoon and Friday was set by the
court as the date for the passing of
sentence.
Hill was implicated with Charles
Modrell in the larceny of horses from
several south-end stockmen last sum-
mer and the two were arrested at La
Grande, whittier they had driven the
stolen animals. Modrel pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to the pen
itentiary but Hill, maintaining that
he was hired by his companion to as
sist in driving the animals stoutly
maintained his innocence.
Both of the previous juries dis
agreed. the majority in the first it
is said, holding out for acquittal and
in the second for conviction. Peo-
pie, acquainted with the case seem to
think that Hill was the ringleader in
the affair but was clever enough to
throw the burden ct the blame upon
Modrell.
District Attorney Frederick Steiwer
is today receiving the congratulations
of his friends upon the outcome of
the trial and for his able manner in
presenting the case to the jury. 1t
is his first case since taking office and
the facts that two other efforts to
convict the accused man had failed
is evidence enough of the difficulties
which had to be overcome.

The case today before the court is

MAY SEND DEMOCRAT
TO REPRESENT MAINE

Augusta, Maine, Jan. 15.-The
probability of the democrats electing
a senator from Maine was seen today
by the democrats in the election of
three republican postmasters to the
legislature while holding office. When
the democratic legislators objected
to the three men participating in a
vote for senator on the ground that
their postmasterships barred them
from the election, the latter wired
their designations TO Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock and these were not
accepted until today. If the three
republicans are barred it will give the
democrats a majority on a joint bal
lot.

port quarterly to the state board of
health records of all habituar crimi-

an investigation the state board may

The Legislature.

While in Salem Mr.. Peterson at
tended a session of the senate and
listened to the grilling administered
President Malarkey of the senate by
Senator Joseph. He says the speech
OF Joseph was extremely tropical and
bristled with serious charges against
Malarkey. The newspaper accounts
OF the same scarcely do justice to the
occasion according to Peterson. In
the opinion of the local man the leg
islature seems preparing for very
businesslike session and he looks for
good results. He also looks for har-
mony between the legislature and the
governor. Though many members
would like to fight the executive they
are fearful of doing so because of the
governors popularity and his powers
of retaliation.
