since that time the people here have
been waiting for the haxe to clear

Mr Poland said the smoke he
aaw coming from the top of the
mountain waa very heavy and black
and continued to pour forth until It
was too dark to see the mountain
any more
O K Olaon of this city, stated
that two years ago last December,
while on a ranch near the city, he
aaw heavy black smoke rolling out
of the top of Jefferson, and that the
smoke continued to to pour forth for

city, slated that several years ago
he. In company with some Portland
people, were at the base of Jefferaon
picking huckleberries, and at that
time dense smoke waa aeen coming
from the mountain top
M'hlle there la no alarm felt as to
an eruption from the mountain, still
the people here are watching old

Adjudication
A man who waa working for Bert
Hardman, a rancher at Audrey. In
Baker rounty. attempted to crimin
ally assault the 8-year old daughter
of Hardman one day last week. He
dragged her to some bushes but the
child's screama frightened her as
sailant away. The child told her
father and he raptured the man and
waa taking him to Baker to Jail
when two masked men took the pris
oner away from his captor and
hanged him In a lonely canyon In
the upper Burnt River country. The
man confessed to the attempted as
sault. The child was uninjured.
So silently and methodically did
the grim avengers work that not the
least clue to their identity was left
behind.
Hardman and his prisoner were
riding on horseback toward M’ hltney
to entrain for Baker, when confront-'
ed by the masked men. similarly
mounted. They secured i>oB»ra»lon
of the prisoner despite Hardman’s
pleadings that the law be allowed to
take Its course, and galloped away.
Reaching the lonely canyon they
placed a rope about the man's neck,
threw- one end over the branch of a
tall tree, tied his feet together so
that he could not struggle, strung
him up and then rode away.
It was believed the men who dis
pensed summary Justice did so under
the Impression that the man had
succeeded in his purpose
A rumor
to this effect had spread through the
countryside, where Hardman is a
prominent and popular rancher.
State Knglneer Lewis announced
last Thursday that he bad received
advices that the Circuit Court of
Crook county had confirmed the
State M'ater Board's adjudication of
250 water rights on Crooked River,
the largest and most Important ad
judication ever completed by the
board.
The adjudication Involves 30.500
acres of land, which, with the water
rights. Is valued at f l . 000.000, and
It ends expensive litigation, which
has heretofore been carried on with
relation to the water rights on this
stream. Some of these water rights
were initiated a half century ago.
