SHAXTKO. Or., May IS. Eacls have
just come to light here indicating thai
there exists in Southeastern and Ceu-

owned cat tlemeu, sheepmen or horse
men. This association is alleged to have
begun operations in early spring, when
seven mites of wire fence belonging to
the horseman, Russell, in Harney coun

ter a mile- of fence belonging to the

alleged perpetrators if the last depiv-
lation were taught, convicti-d and sen
fenced to four years in the peniten
tiary.

posed for th" most part of men wtu

infinitely more to be dreaded than iner
stock t hie ve-s or highwaymen. Tley
strike at night generally, under cover
of darkness and in rains, so that tlifir
tracks will not show from whence th.-y
come or whither they go, and leave a
train of destruction in their wake.

NO PORTRAITS NOR LIQUOR
AT NATIONAL CONVENTION
CIIICAOO, May IS, The sub com
mil I in araugeaieuts of the repub

rule which declares that no lopior shall
be sold or brought into the convention
hall, either at the committee meetings
or during the convention week.
The committee also placed a ban on
portraits as adornments for the walls of
the hall. Th" reason given for the hit
ler prohibition was the number of fa
orile smis whose pictures delegate
might insist upon having placed, and
the jealousies and friction that might
grow out of the placing of them.
Tin- commttlcn also decided to author
ize Chairman New to arrange for a pa
rade of the marching clubs, which are
expected from all parts of the Cuited
States.

A picture of the senator was shown
