- Idcral Judge Render Two DccImIoim
of Interest to 8lM'k Klilixni,
Two opinions of vital Interest to the
shippers of stock anil common car
riers were handed down by United
Btutcs Circuit Judge Wolverton thin
morning In two eases of tho United
States against tho O. R. & N. com
pany for alleged violations of the
statute of 1006 dealing with ths wa
tering, feeding and resting of stock In
.transit.
The first. ra.no was presented to the
court for iUtIhIoii on a demurrer In
terposed tijr tho riillrond company at
tacking the rotiHtit utlonnllty of tho
law. The railroad was proceeded
against for having carried 81 hogs
for a longer (period than 28 hours
without unloading for feed, water and
rent "and the written consent of the
owner not being secured to the 86
hour clauso of the law.
Judge Wolvcrton In overruling the
demurrer and thereby upholding the
constitutionality of the act declares
that the law springs from the prompt
ing of humanity In ndditlon to sub
serving tho Interests of tho owner of
the stock, In that tho longer the stock

not serious. Master Hawes, however,
was entangled In the top of the buggy,

Passing Through the Willamette Vol
ley on Their Way to Portland.
Gypsies, to the number of 200 or
over, are slowly wending their way
northward through the Willamette
valley, and are due In Portland in
about three weeks, says th Portlaad
Telegram. They are encamped today
In the vicinity of Albany, where they
have halted for the purpose of telling
fortunes and trading In horses, and
will probably remain In that locality
for several days. In the latter part
of May they entered the state of
Oregon from California, having come
north ward. from. Mexico, on their semi
annual tour of the coast. It is said
they claim to be Mexicans, uui s tii
cannot converse In that language their
statements are doubted, They are
probably a remnant of a race of Gyp
sies originating In the south of Europe
whose descendants are scattered over
the United State In squads, and who
retain their own language to the re
jection, of English, which they only
use .In the stereotyped forms of for
tune telling. . They are accompanied
by a large contingent of dirty chil
dren, who are being raised to follow
the : nomadic life of their ancestors,
and whom the educational laws of the
country fall to protect, as the com
munities through which they travell
are only too glad to get rid of the
transient visitors.
