IT JIUST BE THE CLIMATE.
Two Callers Who Were Tery YouBg for
Tlicir Years.
One day last week this office had two
cheerful callers whose ages and youth
ful appearances were so at variance
that it was worthy of mention. The
gentlemen were both well down the
shady side of life's journey, but their
energetic, juveuile appearance gave
every promise of many years of active
and useful life left yet before them.
The first caller was a well kuown
citizen of Independence, whose native
modesty is such that he requested bi
same withheld, although quite willing
to figure as a "horrible example" of the
beneficial effects of Oregon climate.
He was 63 years on his last birthday,
and has been a resident of this state for
nearly half a century, working as hard
as the average early settler, aud stand
ing the manifold Laidshlps and dia
greeable features of pioneer life with
such fortitude that his looks belie hit
age by fully twenty-live yeais.
The same day W. L. Mason, who
hp.g a comfortable home a few miles out
of town, came in to make his annual
silver contribution to this paper. In
talking about this country he mention
ed the fact that he came here iu
and also that he was in his eighty-' hi' f,i
year. This was a greater auprise U mn

10R Smi.INd BACON.
John Conloe Found tJnilty en Purvlf
ilrriiiustaiitla Kvldeace.
When the Jury" iu the case State of
Oregon vs. John Conlee, charged with
stealing 800 pounds ot bacon, handed
In their verdict at Dallaa Friday, it
wtut-'Uullty uncharged."
The ease against the prisoner was
very atroutr, aud although the evidence
was purely circumstantial ll was con
vincing enough for the jury to decide
on hi guilt A gentleman who was
over at the county seat during the
trial stated that Coulee was given a
fair trial aud had been convicted by
hla mutes.
The testimony was to the effect that
on the M of February the smoke
house fV. C. Turnalge was broken
ntoaud 300 pounds of bacon taken; In
the morning the theft waa discovered
a I'd traeka were fouud leading I rom
the rear of tbesniokehouw, from which
a board bad been torn, to the barn lot,
where were found a wagon track and
foot prints of a team of luuiea, only one
out of the eight hoof-tracks allowing
the mam of a shoe. By these tracks
the vehicle was traced t the home of
Coulee, by a search party of about forty
men which was organised early In the
morning. From the Conlee place the
mule tracks led to a deter led Cabin
about a quarter of a mile distant, the
doors and windows of wblcb had been
nailed up that day by Conlee. In the
loft of this cabin the bacon was found
and easily ideutltled by Mr. Turtiedge
Coulee's arrest aud subsequent oouvie
tlou followed as squatter of course.
Taking in consideration that alxail
thirty witnesses were examined, Dis
trh t Prosecuting Attorney James Mc
Cain Is deserving of much credit In
the dispatch of this case. Itttwrd.
The following day Coulee received
his sentence of two year year' Impris
onment aud this week Sheriff Plummex
took blm over to 8aletn.
