We are told that the town of Antelope
in Wasco county has been rife with liti
gation lately. In a recent brawl over
there a man was shot through the foot,
and during a recess ID the trial that fol
lowed two of the jurors quarreled and
fought, were parted by the justice of the
peace and then fined by that dignitary
for their unbecoming conduct. Antelopo

Tuesday morning Dr. Logan attended

doctor examined him did he discover
that one of his legs was broken. The

The East Enders are highly gratified
at the action of the council in granting

They believe as the Chronicle does,
that no man living could attend to the

of true economy to appoint a watchman
for that end of town, .as hoboes and

Circuit Court Proceeding!.
John and William Jordan loth
pleaded guilty this morning to the
charge of horse-stealing and an effort is
being made to have them sent to the
state reform school. William had his
trial yesterday and was . found guilty.
The verdict evidently brought them to
time.
The case of Jonathan Morris vs. the
W. H. McAtee estate occupied the court
this entire forenoon and was not ended
at this writing.
ine case ot Jonatnan Morrison vs.
the W. H. McAtee estate which occu
pied the court till nearly midnight yes
terday was submitted to the jury this
morning and a verdict rendered for the
plaintiff of $1392.
The case of the state vs. Robert Alex
ander, indicted for larceny of a watch
was then taken up and is still occupying
the court as we go to press. -
The attorneys interested in the cases
of the state against the Jordon boys,
found guilty of horse stealing have made
formal application to Judge Bradshaw
to have them sent to the state reform
school. This is the best possible thing
that can be done with these boys who
to our own personal knowledge and that
of many others in Wasco county were
brought up under a family influence
that naturally tended to make them
tnrn out as they have done.
The grand jury went out this after
noon to visit the county poor house.
In the case of the state vs. Law son for
larceny of a pistol from the residence of
Mrs. Poorman on whom Lawsen com
mitted a rape for which the court has
already sentenced him to twenty years in
the penitentiary the jury found him
guilty and Lawsen was sentenced to two
years more, lnis gives him twenty
two years.
The case of W. H. Wilson vs. Jasper
Thompson was settled and dismissed
The court sentenced Wm. and John
Jordon to the state reform school for the
term of two years. In pronouncing sen
tence Judge Bradshaw referred to the
earnest efforts that had been made by
the acquaintances of the prisoners to
have them placed where they would be
surrounded by influences that ought to
conduce to their reformation. The judge
could not disregard these solicits
tions but the prisoners must
make up their minds that the suc
cess of all efforts to make them good and
useful citizens rested entirely with
themselves. If they went to the state
reform school under the impression that
the state was against them and was
not seeking their reformation rather
than their punishment little good would
be effected. Judge Bradshaw then sen
tenced them to two years in the state
Reform school.
The case of the state vs. Robert Alex
ander was submitted to the jury last
night. . The jury came to a decision
about four o'clock this morning,
when a verdict was returned of not
guilty. The ways of a jury .are some
times past finding out. Regarding the
charge of which Alexander was acquitted
it may be said that the accused offered
to plead guilty if Prosecuting attorney
W. H. Wilson would dismiss a second
charge of a similar nature, now pending
against him. Alexander even consented
to plead guilty to simple larceny, but
Mr. Wilson refused with the above re
sult. Judging from the past it will
require the verdict of a jury to determine
whether Alexander was telling the truth
or not when he confessed his willingness
to admit that he is a thief.
The case of the state vs. William Mor-
eton occupied the court up till 11 :30 a,
m., when recess was taken and is likely
to occupy the court for the rest of the
day. -
Bad roads are the complaint through
the county. It should be remedied,
The road tax, intelligently expended,
would give far better roads than we have
sit present. The theory that obtains at
present is patchwork. If the supervisor
of every road district would build a small
piece ot road, where most needed every
year, the road problem would be solved
in a few years, and teams that are now
pulled to death on bad roads could be
kept at much less expense. Eugene

The grand jury has returned "not a
true bill" in the case of W. L. Freeman
whom tho Union Pacific company had
indicted for grand larceny, and who was
held in the sum of $150, to appear at
this term of court. It will be remem
bered that Mr. Freeman ,after having paid
what he supposed was the full rate on a
stallion from St. Joseph, Missouri, was
presented with an additional bill of $35
on arriving at The Dalles. This sum
Mr. Freeman refused to pay and on the
refusal of the company's agent at this
place to deliver np the horse till this
amount was paid, Mr. Freeman took
the horse out of the car and led him to
the residence of the Rev. Mr. Roberts
near this city. Having done this Mr.
Freeman returned to town, as he says, to
see what could be done to have an ami
cable settlement with the company when
he was arrested and held to answer for
the crime stated above. The following
is Mr. Freeman's account of the affair
which has not been published up till
now in order that the case might not be
complicated in any way before the grand
jury:
"After having disposed of my horses
in the east I purchased a stallion to
bring back with me. This horse being
very valuable I went to Mr. J. M. Adist,
agent of the Union Pacific at St. Joseph,
a short time before shipping, to learn
their terms for such a borse to The
Dalles. Mr. Adsit replied that it was
according to what valuation was put up
on the horse : that if I would value the
horse to the company, in case of acci
dent for $100 the cost of shipping would
be $70, that is in case of a wreck if the
horse got killed I would only get $100
from the company if I shipped him at
this rate, that if I valned him at $200 it
would cost me $105 and if higher I would
have to make a special contract with the
agent at Omaha. Thinking that one or
two hundred dollars would be no rccon
pense for such a horse I concluded to
take the risk on myself and ship him at
a valuation of $100. The horse was at
first loaded in a low car that bumped
his head. When I saw this I went to
the freight office and asked for a higher
car. The man 1 addressed, who seemed
to be acting as agent 'came and took a
look at the car and on seing the
cramped condition of the horse ordered
a higher car, remarking as he looked at
the horse: "That is a good horse.
This same man who had thus seen the
horse and knew what he was, made out
my contract, and 1 paid him what it
called for $70 and started for home. K
one inspected the horse at any time
after till I came to The Dalles. When
got to Julesburg, Colorado, 1 un
loaded the horse and kept him there
two days and one night. I ar
rived in The Dalles, without any fur
ther stop, on Friday night about ten
o'clock. The horse was side-tracked
over bv the old steam laundry and left
there till the following morning, when
went to the yard master and tried to get
him to rnn the car up to the stock yards
platform where I could unload. The
yard-master informed me he had orders
to sidetrack the car where the horse
could not be unloaded till the charges
were paid. I told him there were no
charges, that all was paid. I requested
that the company unload the horse and
keep bim at my expense till the matter
of charges was settled but this was re
fused and the car was again moved to a
place where it could not be unloaded.
I waited till nearly seven o'clock a. m.
and seeing no chance to get the horse
unloaded and fearing I might loose him
by leaving him so long confined without
rest or exercise, I concluded to jump
him out on the track and did so, taking
him up to the barn of Mr. E. P. Roberts,
Then I returned to town to see ii I could
straighten out the matter with the agent
and when within one block of the depot
I was arrested together with my father
under the charge of grand larceny. The
rest is now known. Justice Doherty
dismissed the charge against my father
and bound me over in the sum of $150 to
appear before the grand jury with the
result stated above. I make this state
ment that the people may judge for
themselves who was to blame.
W. L. Freeman.
often entered my mind as to why the
settlers of Juniper Flat do not take this
plan for securing water; which can be
accomplished, by the fact that there is a
stream that flows beneath the flat, and
makes its appearance on the bank of the
Deschutes river, not to exceed 500 feet
below the surface of the flat. It has
been estimated that a well could be
sunk at a total cost of not more than
$1500, and as there are over two hun
dred settlers on the flat, owning an av
erage of 200 acres each, making 40,000
acres, the outside cost would be $.03
per acre; or $7.50 per land owner.
Besides this there are thousands of
acres of unsettled land that would thus
be made valuable and be eagerly sought.
We venture the assertion, and think
it no exaggeration, that Juniper Flat
can. at an insignificant cost, be made
the garden spot of Wasco county.
We are pleased to see in the columns
of our most appreciated paper, the
Chronicle, news and honest facts, that
the people's boat, the Regulator, is do
ing a thriving freight business and pas
senger traffic, notwithstanding the low
rates given on the Baker. A boat that
can and will ride the tide over such ob
stacles as the Regulator has to contend
with is worthy of praise and we are
proud that there is energy enough in
The Dalles and surrounding country to
have and keep such a boat on the river,
I say that every man, merchant;
farmer, or whatever his occupation may
be. should support such a boat as this.
and encourago it to survive the storm
and in the end the people shall toss
their hats and give three cheers for the

Hurrah! for the people that carry her through,

A Wedding; and a Baptism.
It is not often that an excursion takes
the double character of a wedding festi
val and a religious ceremony, it is
generally an occasion for hilarity and
mirth, while the more solemn services of
religion are left for other occasions. The
excursion lact Friday night was an ex
ception, however, to the general rule,
Church bells and wedding bells were
happily intermingled. If there was a
wedding there was also a funeral or, as
our good baptist brothers would insist,
a burial. That is, there was a baptism
and a wedding, but both have been kept
dreadfully , quiet for reasons that will
now appear. The fact is both were very
private affairs too private in fact. Par
son Spencer, the celebrant, promised to
conceal the names of the wedded pair if
his dues were promptly paid, or, what
amounts to nearly the same thing, he j
threatened to reveal the names unless
his fees were paid and we suppose they
have been for we have not heard from
bim.
The baptism case was altogether differ
ent. There was no particular secrecy
about it. Mr. Spencer could not be
blamed if it was observed according
strict Baptist custom, rather than
Methodist. In fact Mr. Spencer bad
nothing to do with it unless, being the
only preacher present he might be con
b trued as a sort of proxy god-father cele
brant. The place was at The Dalles
landing,- the time being just before the
boat started on the excursion ; the exact
spot was the Regulator's gang plank
the candidate was B. F. Laughlin, and
the act was performed without so much
as a word of confession. In fact it is evi
dent the conversion must have been very
sudden for after the candidate came out
of the river he had to become indebted
to Captain Wilson for a dry suit of
clothes whose longitude might be pro
portionate to the emergency, but whose
latitude was sadly defective. Thus did
F. Laughlin become a charter mem
ber of the church of the Regulator.
Crude Petroleum.
Mr. Linos Hubbard has left at this
office two sample bottles of crude
petroleum taken from the Canadian oil
fields in Petrolia, in the province of On
tario, twenty miles from the eastern
terminus of the St. Clair river tunnel
This oil, in nearly its crude state,
used as a lubricant on the Canadian
Pacific, Grand Trunk and other railroads
and in its refined state as an illuminator
everywhere throughout Canada. Its
supply is practically inexhaustible, the
only question being how much can be
marketed. It has proved a great source
of wealth to the Canadians and has been
the means of development of the im
mense salt interests of Western Canada
The entire industry has been developed
by drilling wells into tho rock, varying
in depth from say 500 to 2000 feet
and'it is the opinion of Mr. Hubbard,
who is thoroughly familiar with the
Ontario country, that if proper steps
were takeu in Oregon and Washing
ton that similar results would be
obtained and that there is every proba
bility that veins of natural gas can be
found in the same manner.

Editor of the Chronicle:
It seems that nearly every place in
the country is represented in your col
umns but Wamic. Blame me not then,
if I attempt to sustain her fair reputa
tion by an occasional letter to your
valued weekly visitor.
Our neighborhood has been espec
ially favored by Jupiter PInvius this
fall, and as a result every body feels en
couraged and happy; indeed, an Au
tumn so favorable to farmers has not
been known here for several years, and
a larger acreage is now sown to grain
than ever before which is growing
nicely. Michael Kennedy boasts of the
finest piece of fall grain in the country,
it being tall enough to afford good
pasture.
Robert Yonce, who was thrown from
a borse and seriously hurt, is rapidly re.
gaining bis strength.
Mr. William Woodcock, at present

Tho Regulator Gets There.
The fight between the Regulator and
the Union Pacific becomes more inter
esting every day. Today John Boydston
of Moro, Sherman county, arrived in
town on his way to Salem and stopped
to put up for the night at Lochhead's
feed yard. The agent of the Union Pa
cific, as soon as he cast his "heagle eye"
on him, asked him where he was going
and on being informed the agent told
Boydston he would take him and his
wife and his team and wagon to Portland
for $11.50, which was "a great deal
Portland cheaper than the other boat
would take him for." Boydston ac
cepted the offer and the agent and he
started to go to the Baker landing. On
the way the party met A. C. Sanford
and as Boy ton wanted to be identified at
the bank to get a check cashed Sanford
accompanied bim, while the agent
herded Boydson's team on the street.
While the agent was standing guard
Sanford and others had fixed him solid
for the Regulator so that when
Boydson came out of the bank he
lead his team to the people's boat, not
withstanding that the agent offered to
carry him for nothing and give him a
dollar for the privilege. It is the same
old bait and if Boydston had bit at it be
wonld have found himself mulcted for
about $15 at Portland which he must
either pay or fight the company in the
courts.

The Chrysanthemum Show.
The chrysanthemum show held at the
residence of Mrs. D. M. French on last
Tuesday night was generally pronounced
to be the most successful affair of the
kind ever held in this city. The unani
mous verdict of the lady visitors, who
are, par excellence, the best judges in
the world was that it was "perfectly
lovely," and the reporter can do no bet
ter than apply this phrase to the whole
exhibit and to every particular part of
it. With this understanding aud with
the further avowal that; it is hard to dis
tinguish where everything was so per
fect and beautiful, we may mention as
marked features of the exhibit, the dis
play of Miss Mary Snipes, the boquet of
Mrs, John Schenck, Mrs, Booth's bank
of flowers which must have taken a
world of patience to put In place aud the
the admirable collection of seedlings by
Rev. Mr, Butcliffe, Two premiums
were awarded, In no way conflicting, one
to Mrs. 8. B. Adams, a beautiful chate
laine, for the largest collection, and the
other a handsome manicure set, to Mrs.
John Marden far the choicest variety.
A large number of visitors crowded the
rooms from 7 :30 to nearly 10 o'clock.
Tbe gross receipts amounted to $52
which was nearly all profit as the ex
penses amounted to only about 5.

George Anderson and Isaac and Tom
Joles returned from a goose bunting trip
to Sherman county last night bringing
with them sixty two victims of their
deadly skill. One incident of the bunt
afforded a hearty laugh to the Joles boys
and considerable surprise to George An
derson. At the hunting grounds the
three shooters had dag holes in the soil
to stand in and set out their decoys when
a big fiock of geese flew overhead. Tom
Joles shot first and dropped two, Isaac
followed, dropping one stone dead, but
just at the moment it neared the ground
and George Anderson was about to- pull
the tri infer the dead croose struck bi m
back of the shoulder, crowding him down
into the hole and knocking the gun out
of his band. When George not his
breath his first word was "Boys do you
want to kill me?"

they were allowed only one small meal,
which they had to wait for a long time be

to the grand jury while that body was
paying its usual visit to the jail, bat re

discipline had a wholesome effect in the
end, for they worked quite freely to-day,
