THE OLDEST
COWBOY

David Il. Helmick, one of the con-
tenders for the championship in the
bucking contest at the Roundup. is
perhaps the Oldest active cowboy in
the country. Although very active,
hale and hearty, the veteran buckaroo
celebrated his Send birthday Septem-
br II.
Last year he gained fame by win
ming the bucking contest at the Grant
county Roundup at Canyon City All
of the contenders with the exception
Of Helmick were young men. During
the past summer he has been working
in a lumber yard and has been on
horse very little the past year He
rides today the same saddle he
29 years ago. In 1887 he was given
an old saddle by friend and after
little repairing the saddle is yet in
good condition.
Mr., Helmick is a man of moderate
habits. He has drank but three
glasses of whiskey in his life and has
never used tobacco in any form. He
never drinks tea and coffee. The
Grant county man is the father of
thirteen children, seven of whom are
dead
Hemich has never been injured but
once by horse and this was while
riding gentle horse. At the age Of
nine years old the old Dobbin fell
down and he struck his shoulder
against the ground His left shoulder
has always been lower than his right.
Helmick came to Pendleton last
week. had his saddle fixed up and was
as anxious rs the boldest cowboy to
take on any bucker the Roundup
possesses.

Experts GiUe
AdUice HOU
to Fight
LarkSbur

Larkspur poisoning which, each
year causes loss TO the cattlemen Of
eastern Oregon has been the subject
of an exhaustive study conducted by
the u. S. department Of agriculture.
Much larkspur poisoning is said to
abound in the Umatilla forests.
The recent experiments conducted
by the department. a report of which
is published in Professional Paper
No. S65, indicate that the various
species of larkspur are poisonous to
cattle and horses, but not to sheep
Except under unusual circumstances,
however, horses do not eat enough OF
the plant to produce any III effects.
From "A practical standpoint, there
fore. it may be said that larkspur af-
fects cattle only 1t was also found
that a quantity Of the weed equal to
at least per cent of the weight OF
the animal was necessary to produce
poisoning.
In the opinion OF the investigators,
the fact that sheep are apparently

able To feed upon larkspurs with en-
tire impunlty may be utilized in
some cases to protect the cattle
Where larkspur is especially abund-
ant, the paper already mentioned
says it is desirable to use the range
for sheep grazing rather than for cat
tie or to combine sheep grazing and
cattle grazing in such a manner that
the areas infested with larkspur shall
be first eaten down by the sheep on
comparatively limited areas It may
be possible to dig up the tall lark
spur but this is frequently too costly
a measure to be adopted and fur
thermore, it is rarely possible to erad-
icate completely the poisonous weed.
Generally speaking, there are two
great groups Of larkspurs-the tall
and the low. The low disappear from
the range early In July and cases of
poisoning from them are usually con-
fined to the months of May and
June. The tall larkspurs live through
the summer season, making their
first appearance in early spring This
is the time in which they are the most
poisonous. After blossoming, their
poisonous character appears to dimin-
ish. Ultimately, it disappears and the
plant dries up although the seeds re-
main poisonous In Colorado, most
of the cases Of poisoning from the
tall larkspure occur in May and June,
with sporadic cases in July, In other
localities, however, the larkspur
blossoms later and poisoning may
occur as late as August or even Sep
tember.
On the range the first evidence
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-09-21

that the animal has been poisoned Is
frequently afforded by its falling
down. After a short interval it will
probably regain lis feet only to fall
again. AS the effect of the poison
wears off, the animal Is able to keep
its feet for longer and longer periods
and finally walks off very much as Ir
nothing had happened In seyerer
cases 1t is ultimately unable to regain

experiments indicate that beneficial
results may be obtained by treating

OH Various Chargcs-C. f.. Jones
Also Arrested.
From The Daily Item, Aug. 16.
Mrs. Sadie Singletary, who has
been running the Singletary Boarding
house on Harvin street, was arrested
this morning by the police on the
charge Of disorderly conduct, follow
ing an appeal from her daughter, Lot
tie Bradham, to the police for protec-
ton. Later the charges Of assault and
battery of high and aggravated ma
ture. adultery and a warrant to put the
woman under u peace bond were also
saken out against her. c. f. Jones
was charged with adultery.
From a statement made by Acting
Chief Of Police Barwick, it seems that
early this morning the girl, who is
about Is years Of age, came to the
police asking them to protect her. She
stated that her mother had cruelty
beaten her with a buggy whip the
night before, then locked her in her
room and threatened to beat her some
more this morning. The traces of the
severe lashing on her body were shown
~ the girl and the police promised
her protection. Later the Singletary
woman came up and asked for her
daughter, the officers refusing to dis
close her whereabouts. Upon the ad.
vice of Recorder Hardy, who was
asked for warrant against the wo-
man by Mr.. Barwick. Mrs. Singletary
was told to come to the police court al
noon when the matter would be dis
posed OF. Upon being told this, the
woman flew into a rage and abused
Chief Barwick. cursing him and
threatening him. She was arrested for
disorderly conduct and put in the
guard house, where she has been all
day, having been unable to secure
bond of $50. which was fixed by the
recorder.
Later the girl took out warrants
against her mother for assault and
battery of high and aggravated ma
ture and a warrant against Sadie
Singletary and G. Z. Jones was also
sworn out, charging them with adul-
terry. A further warrant to bring the
woman before the magistrate to put
her under q peace bond, If deemed
advisable, was also taken out Jones
syas released on $3.50 bond. while ap-
plioation had not been made by the
woman for bond on other charges
placed against her before the mag
istrate.

SINGLETARY WOMAN GIVEN
LIMIT.

Sadie Singletary. the white woman
arrested Wednesday morning on the
charge of disorderly conduct, and
against whom other charges were also
entered in the magistrates court, was
tried this morning by jury in Re.
corder Harby's court and found guilty
OF the charge of disorderly conduct,
copsisting of publicly using profane
and obscene language in the city of
Sumter. Recorder Hardy stated in
passing sentence that he was giving
the limit set by the city ordinance,
$50 or 80 days, on the charge.
MIR. Geo. d. Levy represented the
defendant an Mr.. ]. H. Clifton the
city in the case. A motion was made
by the defendants attorney to trans
Ter the case to Mayor L. d. Jennings
or other Official for trial on the
ground that Recorder Hardy was
present when the language was al
legged to have been used by the wo
man and that she could ont therefore
get fair and impartial trial before
him. He refused the motion, as the
case was to be decided by jury and
not by himself. After the finding of
the jury the DEFENDANTS attorney
made plea for light fine for his
client, on the ground that the use of
profanity was one Of the least Of mis-
demeanors, but the Recorder stated
that In this case, he thought that the
defendant should receive the heaviest
punishment allowed. The testimony
IN the case was practically what was
sttaed In yesterdays paper concerning
the woman's vile cursing and threat
cning Of the officers, especially Acting
chief Rarwick, because they refused
10 give up her child, who had ap-
pealed to them for protection.
Notice of appeal was given by the
attorney for the defense.
