BAD WEATHER REDUCED SCORES OF LOCAL
TRAP SHOOTERS IN LAST SUNAYS CONTEST

Wind, intermittent snow fall and
cold weather all combined to make
a severe handicap for members OF
the Heppner Gun Club in their shoot
against Kellogg, Washington last
Sunday. The score stood Kellogg
116, Heppner 110.
Another perfect score was regis
tered, when B. R. Patterson broke rs
of the blue rocks just as fast as his
turn came to shoot. This makes two
perfect scores since the tournament
opened, Ernest Clark getting one a
week ago last Sunday.
BY virtue of last Sundays results,
Kellogg now stands at the head OF
the per centage list. while Wallace,
Idaho has maintained the best aver
age.

B0OTLEGG|NG CASES ATTRACT ATTENTION OF
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. FINES ARE IMPOSED

of his. arrest. 1t was LANES word
against Hamilton's and the jury was
evenly divided on the veracity of the
two men. After being out all night
the jury was discharged.
The next case occupying the atten-
tion for the state was that of George
Swaggart, who was brought into the
court on the charge of having intox-
icating liquor in his possession last
September. The arrest was the out
growth Of charges made by Mr.. and
Mrs. John Wink, who lived for time
in the Swaggart residence on Court
street.
The Vinks swore on the witness
stand that they were given whiskey
to drink. about a teaspoonful, by Mr..
Swaggart. The state set forth the
assertion that it was booze which
came into Mr.. Swaggart's possession
after the saloons had gone out of bus
mess and S. e. Van Vactor for the
defendant attempted to prove that
the booze was taken from stock OBJ
tained from the saloon of McAtee &
Aiken just before the state went dry.
On top of this, for year, Mr.. Swag-
|gart said he had got his shipment
regular to protect his old stock. He
acknowledged giving the whiskey to
the Vinks but stoutly denied having
come into possession of the liquor af-
ter the state went dry. The jury was
out but short time and returned
with a verdict of guilty. Mr.. Swag-
CART has filed motion for appeal. The
fine imposed was for $3.50.

During the past ten days there has
been some excitement in Heppner and
Justice of the Peace Cornett has been
holding almost continuous session
at the court house, where several
bootlegging cases have been disposed
Of.
The first case engaging the atten-
tion of District Attorney s. E. Notson
was that of Frank Laine, who was
apprehended by w. F. rogers, spe-
cial agent acting for the state. Lame
was arrested on two charges, one of
having liquor in his possession anl
The other of giving liquor to min
ors. :.
From the testimony in the case, it
appears that Laine had obtained
three quarts of Liquor" for which he
paid the price of SIS per quart. He
evidently had more than he could
consume, SO he invited some young
boys to help him drink 1t. When ia
ken in custody by the sheriff he still
had a quart bottle which was nearly
full. This was used by the state in
later case.
Laine was fined a total sum of
$3.50 and when asked where he got
the booze, he accused George Ham
iltOn. Hamilton was arrested, fur
nished bond and his trial was held on
Monday. Sam E. Van Vactor appear
ed for his defense and a jury Of six
men was chosen. There was very
little evidence in the case. about two
drinks having been taken from the
quart which the state offered as the
