Detail of the ece of Cheater
orge, man wanted for cattle
stealing in thi county, near Day-
ville, about ten days ago, are con
tained in a letter written to Sheriff
Elkina by Deputy Sheriff Geo.
Brierly of Grant county who wag
charge of the prisoner just be
fore he made hi sensational escape.
"When 1 received the warrant
for Gorge, Sheriff Ambrose was
away. I went to John Day and
arrested Gorge and made arrange
ment with a man to take him by
tage next morning. But there
wa a hitch in the arrangements
nd the man could not go in the
morning, and knowing you were
anxious to have Gorge there a
oon ft possible, 1 deputized a
oung fellow to Uke him on. It
teem he let Gorge go into the house
Dayville to apeak to his wife
but failed to rearcb him upon hi
return. About nine mile from
Dayville Gorge pulled a gun on
the deputy, held the latter up, look
the team from bim and either took
ent the rig back to Dayville
where it was found the next morn
ing. The deputy's gun waa also
found in the buggy. The wire
had been cut during the night bo
word could not be sent to me until
the deputy reached the Jerome
Moore place the following evening
Ab Boon as I got the new 1 sent
die pate he to all the principal
places I could think of, offering a
reward of $20 as I feel that I was
to blame, although I think now
that he had accomplice who would
have helped him if necessary. A
fellow with two horses with sad'
dies, riding one and leading the
other, pawed the deputy and
Gorge just a little while before the
escape waa made and tbe deputy
said he thought that the man with
the horses was James Newton.
"I enclose herewith copy of the
circulars I have sent out. I rather
think Gorge will go either south
and try to get into Mexico or Salt
Lake, where his folks are. You
can rest assured that we will make
every effort to recapture him."
The circulars referred to in the
above, give a description of Gorge
and a reward of $20 is offered for
his capture. In addition to this,
Sheriff Elkins, who is determined
to leave no atones unturned to
bring the man into custody,
offered an additional reward of
$100, and it is probable that the
Grant county officials will dupli
cate this amount inasmuch as it
s partly through them that
Gorge made good his escape
in the county jail at present,
or violating the local option law.

from Fort Worth we stopped off at
Denton, and after taking in the

Horses Sell At Good Prices
Charles A. McN'ie, a represent
ee of tbe Gibson Scanlan Lum
ber Company, of Minneapolis, wa
in Tacoma today. He haa spent
the last four months in Oregon, 90
mile from the railroad, buvins
mber land. He left for Min
neapolis last night for further
instructions. He ha bought in
Oregon 7500 acre of land for ap
proximately $100,000.
Thi property, together with
some iu.UUU seres Dreviouslv
bought by the company, lies chief-
in Crook and Klamath Counties.
Other land is still to be bought.
The Scanlan company has an
greement with another large
lumber firm of Minneapolis, to
buy nothing south of a certain
district, while the territory select
ed by the Scanlan Company is not
to be invaded by the rival lumber
buyers. The two firms working
nder this arrangement, hope to
able to buy every available
timber tract in Central and South
ern Oregon.
The Scanlan Company is capital
ized at $1,750,000. It has mills in
Minnesota and Lousiana. Oregon-ian.

The sale lot for horses between
Gordon's furniture store and
Barnard & West's barn was throng
ed about with people most of the
day watching a bunch of 54 horses
which had just been brought in
from Crook county by our towns
man E. C. Smith. This is the
third bunch Mr. Smith haa brought
over since the nret ol June and
they are about as good a lot as
any. He reports horses very
scarce on the ranges and he had to
pay much better pricas for these
than any other lot and then they
were very hard to get. There is
great demand for horses every
where and he could have sold
this bunch at Prineville for $60
profit without bringing them across
the mountains. He is buying for
California company under con
tract and had to bring them along.
Since coming, however, he has had
word that they do not care for
more than a carload and he has
been selling off a number. He
closed out about a dozen yesterday
at figures that run from $100 to
$125. He says there are parties
scouring the range country in East
earn Oregon to get horses to shij
to Nebraska. Iowa and Montana
and they are cleaning up every
thing.
It hasn't been long ago that
horses were a drug on the market
but it will be found they are the
most profitable stock that can be
raised for the next few years to
come, there is an unprecedented
demand for them everywhere and
they will bring big money for years
to come. Eugene Register.
Wool Growers' Association.
At the Denver meeting of the
National Wool Growers' Associ
ation last February the organiza
tion numbered just thirty-six per
sons. , JNow it nas a memoersnip
of nearly 5,000 and is growing rap
idly. The next annual convention
will be held in Salt Lake, January
1719, and it is believed the or
ganization will number at least 6,.
500 by that time. The present of
ficers have mapped out a campaign
that, if successfully carried out, will
in a few years, according to the
enthusiasts, result in aa organiza
tion of from 30,000 to 50,000 mem
bers. Memberships are now being
secured from Hawaii, Alaska
Porto Rico, the Philippines, an
every state and territory in the
United States. This stride for
ward shows what can be done just
as soon as an infantile association
is taken out of the hands of petty
grafters such as have been clingin
to the skirt of the wool industry
for the past few years. The ranch
stolen a large amount of beef. It
is alleged that he seem to have
stolen all the meat he handled.

Two Big Shipments of Cattle
Kayler-Vanderpool Nuptial.
Mie Pearl Vanderpool and E.
W. Kayler were married in thi
city Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock, Rev. W. P. Jinnett per
forming tbe ceremony. The
wedding took place in the new
residence just completed by tbe
groom. It waa a very pretty home
edding, only the family and ft
few intimate friend being present.
The happy couple will go to house-
keeping in their new residence.
A linen thower was given Miss
Pearl Vanderpool Tuesday after
noon by the Misses Jennie and
Kate Williamson at the William-
n residence, 15 young ladies
tendering their offerings to the
bride to be. Many useful presents
were given. The following is a list
of those who gave presents: Misses
Una Stewart, Maggie Glaze, Hazel
Howard, Bernola Po i n d e x t er ,
Gertie 8harp, Bertha Baldwin, Fay
Baldwin, Stella Hodges, Ceole
Smith, Beulah Crooks, Iva Booth,
Addie Vanderpool, Jennie Wil

Edra Williamson. After the
ceremony of the shower, refresh
ments were served.
Approximately $8000 worth of
beef cows left the valley surround
ing Prairie this week. Joe Combs
of John Day was busy about 3
days gathering and buying them,
The $8000 represents about 400
head. The price received ranged
from $18 to $21, which is an ad
vance over last year. The valley
is now just about cleaned up every
thing having been sold. The
cattle sales here this year have
been heavier than for several years
past. The price received is not of
course what tbe growers think
they are entitled to but yet it has
been an advance of last year.
There has been a heavy demand
for 2-year old steers and one offer
of $25.50 was refused as it seems
to be the opinion of some of the
growers that there will be a steady
rise in the price of cattle and by
next year tbe grower will begin
to realize something near what
stock are worth. Prairie City
Miner.
Friday evening a shipment of 20
carloads of beef cattle was made
over the W. & C. R. to the Frey-
Bruhn Company of Seattle. Of
the number shipped 320 head were
purchased from Walter S. Brown
of Izee, Grant county. Of these
227 head were steers and the aver
age weight of the herd was 1160
pounds. The remainder of the
shipment consisted of 84 head pur
chased from stockmeu in this vicinity.
All of the cattle were purchased
recently by J. C. Lonergun, buyer
for the Frev-Bruhn people, and
other big shipments are to follow
immediately. E. O.
Death of J. T. Doak.

denly Wednesday afternoon, death

Sheriff Ambrose Gets His Man.
Sheriff J. W. Ambrose came in
on the Austin stage last Saturday
night, having in his custody Fred
Deford, formerly of Monument,
whom he had nr res ted at Boise,
Idaho, a day or two before.
A warrant had been out for
Deford for some time, but nothing
could be learned of his where
abouts. Last week Sheriff Ambrose
received a message from Boise to
the effect that Deford was in that
city, and immediately left for that
place. He found his man at the
race track, where the Inter-Moun
tain fair was being held at that
time. Deford did not resist arrest
and consented to come to Oregon
without extradition papers.
Deford formerly ran a butcher
shop in Monument. About three
months ago he disappeared, and
an investigation is said to have
revealed the fact that he had
Killed a Grizzly Bear.
A hunting party composed of Tom
Sharp, of Prineville, Harry Corbett,
ot Portland, and Jim Overturt ami
"Bill" Brock, of Bend, were In town
Monday having: Just returned from
a successful three week's hunt on the
headwaters of the Deschutes. They
report having bagged two black
lear, and last but not least, one
grizzly bear. The latter Is the
famous old grizzly who Is known by
reputation to all the old settlers of
the county. Mr. Brock In speaking .
of the killing of this fellow said that
he had been trylug to get a shot at
him for four years, and had tried to
get track of hitn every time he made
his trip across the desert, but had
always been too late. This time,
however he succeeded and was much
elated over It. He was shot near
the head of Spring river where the
party found bis tracks and turned
the dogs loose after hitn. It was
only after a run of six miles were
they able to bring him to bay, where
he was killed with three shots.
That the bear was as large as the
stories that have been circulated
about him was vouched for by
Brock, who said that he would
weigh about 1200 pounds and In size
resembled a three-year-old steer.
His feet measured 13 inches. The
story of the chase and the final scene
in the killing of this famous bear who
baa been making regular trips across
the desert from the Blue mountains
to the Cascades In the spring and
returning In the fall Is an Interesting
one, but owing to the lack of space
we cannot give It tu detail. The
hunting party disbanded here, each
one going to their different homes
vowing that they had enjoyed the
hunt of their lives.
