hihition of the national sport.
The Scarlet Tariagers put down
three crosses in the first inning
and went on better in the fourth
which a few scattered hits coupled
with fielders' errors hoisted the
Prinevilleites a notch higher in
the atrnwphere. The same inning
brought one man home for the
locals and three more went down
on the score book the next inning.
After the close of the fifth both
teams settled down to better play
ing, but the trip through the air
in the first half kept the home
team from overcoming the lead.
Even in the seventh with the bases
full and only one out, with a life
time opportunity to make the
finish interesting, a fluke fly to
first and an easy grounderto short
put the kibosh on the gateway to
better things.
Both teams used the big stick to
do credit to the president, but the
Benders kept the advantage. The

Prineville ball tossers up in the
air to such a height that the fifth
inning closed before they came
hack to the earth, gave the Bend

Some important results are ex
pected from the meeting of the
state land board next Tuesday.
If the recommendations of the
Marion county grand jury are
heeded, immediate steps will be
taken to recover some portions of
the vast acreage of school lands of
which the state has been robbed,
says the Journal.
According to the grand jury s
report, at least half a million
ncreu iold bat Milt undfdctl by
the state, were secured through
fraud on the part of the purchas
ers. This land can be recovered.
and it is the opinion of Governor
Chamberlain that the money paid
by the purchasers -can be retained
by the state and declared forfeited.
But it is in the rower of the
and board to go still further. In
cases wnere me purcnase was
tainted with fraud, and where
deeds have been given by the
state, suit may be instituted to
set aside the sale, provided the
title lias not passed to some in
nocent third party.
The speculation it school lands
has been conducted on an immense
scale, and the fraud? have wen
glaring. Many men have grown
rich bv these operations. Owing
to the protection afforded by the
statute of limitations most of the
land thieves are beyond the danger
of criminal prosecution, but there
is still opportunity in many cases
for the state to recover the land of
which it was robbed. Through
the activity of S'tate Land Agent
Oswald West evidence has been
accumulated which -shows con
clusively the fraudulent character
of many of these transactions in
school lands, so that there can be
no difficulty in maintaining suits
to set aside the deeds.
Undoubtedly strong pressure will
be exerted to prevent the state
board from attempting the re
coverv of the lands. Political in
fiuence will be invoked in behalf
of the land robbers, as it has been
in the past. But Governor Cham
berlain is uncompromisingly in i
favor of taking decisive steps for
the recovery of as much as possi
ble of the stolen lands, and it is
expected that the other members
of the board, the secretary of state
and the state treasurer will coin
cide in this policy.
An immense amount of school
land was fraudlently secured by
the notorious Benson-Hyde ring,
and forgery and perjury were free
ly employed to consummate the
frauds. Most of these sales can be
set aside. In the opinion of those
familiar with the facts probably
three fourths of all the school
lands sold were secured by such
methods. The cancellation of
even a small portion of these sales
will result in adding large sums to
the state school fund.
John Stakony, chief of police at
the Warm Springs Reservation,
was brutally murdered Monday
afternoon near Madras by a drunk
en Indian named Corbett Holt.
Stakony was knocked from his
horse by a demij.,hn in the hands
of his assailant. The latter then
took off the hat of the prostrate
Indian, placed a large rock inside
of it, and with this improvised
weapon beat Makony s head un
til the skull was crushed into a
shapeless mass and imbedded in
the hard ground to a depth of
several inches.
After committing the deed, Holt
. i itr
swam nm horse to trie v arm
Springs side of the river and was
not seen again until the day fol
lowing. By that time word of the
mutder bad reached the Agency
and Holt was arrested as soon as
it became known that he had re
turned. He was taken before
Justice Brooks who held him with
out bail and then brought to this
city in charge of John Palmehn
and the constable from Kutcher
preciect.
The trouble which resulted in
one of the most brutal murders in
the annals of Crook county, began
Monday afternoon when Holt,
who had secured a gallon of whis
key, became intoxicated. He en
gaged in several altercations with
some of the ranchmen of the vicin
ity who were around Madras and
Stakonv mJcavorcd to get- - the
other Indian away and directed
towards his home.
Holt became enraged at the ef
forts of the Indian chief of police
and when the latter rode away
Holt followed him out of town
About one mile north-west
Madras the murder took place,
It was at this point that Stakony
was overtaken and the first blow
struck with the demijohn, the
shattered fragments of which were
found strewn about the spot by
Madras residents who first discov
ered the mutilated body of the In
dian policeman. Here, too, they
found the rock inside the hat

sides showed plainly the terrific
force with which it had been hurl
ed again and again against Stako
ny's head. When the latter's
body was removed it was with dif
ficulty that the shapeless mass
which once formed a head was ex
tricated from the hole in the hard
soil of the road into which it had
been driven.
Stakony was a well to do Indian
and owned an extensive ranch on
the reservation where he was at
the head of the police force. He
was also a full pledged citizen of
the United States. Holt is said
to be an Indian with a naturally
ugly disposition which does not
improve under the influence of
whiskey. He was engaged in
hauling lumber for some ot the
new buildings going up in Madras
when he gained possession of a
demijohn of firewater last Monday
and it was while under the in
fluence of the liquor that his
savage nature manifested itself.

As soon as the telephone office
was open last Saturday morning,
word was received from Prairie
City that Ernest Hickman, who
was bartender at the saloon of
L. W. Woods, was shot by City .
Marshal W. H. Lucy and almost
instantly killed, dying within
twenty minutes after the shot was
fired. Not until Sunday were any
of the particulars of the affair
known, since it seemed impossible
to obtain any information other
than the bare fact that Hickman
was shot and that City Marshal
Lucy did the shooting. The affair
took place in the saloon of L. W,
Woods about 2 o'clock a. tn. Satur
day morning, and it is said to have
been the result of a controversy or
trouble between Mr. Hickman and
the city marshal. After the shoot
ing Hickman ran to the home of
Dr. V. C. Belknap, some 200 yards
distant, but weakened from the loss
of blood, he fell exhausted at the
gate. He was at once carried
across the street to his own borne,
where in less than twenty minutes
he died. The bullet that caused
his death penetrated his right
breast, and is supposed to have
severed a large blood vessel, caus
ing the wounded man to bleed to
death.
A coroner's jury was empaneled
Saturday morning by Justice J.
W. Mack, and after inquiring into
the affair, returned a verdict that
the deceased came to his death .
from a gunshot wound inflicted by
W. H. Lucy, but did not . say
whether the shooting was justified
or not.
The remains were brought to
John Day Tuesday where funeral
services were held at the M.' E.
church by Rev. E. Hayes, follow
ing which the body was interred
in the Canyon City cemetery.
On May 21, 1902, the deceased
was married to Miss Edith Woods,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. W.
V00d3, then residents of John
Day, and to their union was born
one child. Canyon City Eagla.
