A fatal shooting affray took
place on Three Creeks, nine miles
from Sisters, Sunday afternoon at
half past 1 o'clock. H. A. Melvio,
a rancher, shot and killed S. H.
Dorrance, of the firm of Dorrance
Bros., who ran a sawmill in that
locality.
From what we can learn there
haa been bad blood between the
two men for some time, and that
the tragedy of Sunday is but the
sequel of a law suit and a personal
encounter. H. A. Melvin gives
the following version of the shoot-
ing:
"Sunday about noon 8. H. Dor
rance came to my place with a
shot gun on his arm. I was at
work a short distance from the
house and upon looking op saw
him standing at the garden gate.
He acted as though ha was looking
for aome one. Dorrance kept
walking around and when be got
so that the bouse stood between us
I broke and ran home and got my
rifle. Dorrance meantime walked
up along a ditch and I left the
house going out around in the
same direction. When Dorrance
saw me he came right toward me.
1 warned him to stop two or three
times but he paid no attention to
me. When he got to within 140
or 150 yards of me he commenced
firing. Then I commenced. He
fired a couple of times when I think
it must have been my third shot
that struck the butt of his shot
gun and put it out of or
der. The shotgun was what is
known as the Winchester pump
gun. After firing a couple of shots
Dorrance started on a brisk walk
toward the woods near by and as I
thought he wanted to get nearer to
where I was I kept firing at biro,
perhaps four or five times. In
stead of working through the tim
ber to get closer to me he went home
I did not know that he was hurt
at the time and watched his house
to see if anybody would go for
doctor. When I learned of his
death I started for Prineville to
give myself up. The shooting took
place at 1:30 in the alternoon and
Dorrance died the same night at
11:30 o'clock. The shooting took
S a a
piace aDoui yards from my
house on the cleared land."
J. O. Dorrance, a brother of the
deceased, made the following state
ment to a Joornal representative:
Sunday somewhere about noon
my brother left the bouse to
what was the matter with the
water in the ditch. In order to do
so it was necessary for him to pass
the house of H. A. Melvin. My
brother said, "After I passed the
house some two or three hundred
yards Melvin ran out of the house
and tried to head me off as I was
going from the ditch to some tim
ber a short distance away. Mel
vin began firing. His first shot
struck me. It knocked me down.
He (Melvin) fired two shots and
then I fired two. I started to
ward the timber when a third shot
from Melvin's rifle struck my
band in which I had my gun.
The bullet passed through the fore
finger of the right hand, struck the
gun barrel and glancing up cut off
the thumb of the same hand.
Thia shot disabled the gun. The
barrel was so bent tbat it would
not discharge. After the first shot
I called to Melvin that he need
not shoot any more as he had done
for me, but he kept on shooting."
My brother walkeJ and ran to his
borne about a quarter of a mile
away. When he got home 1 help
ed lay him on the floor and his lit
tle girl went for the doctor. My
brother's mind was clear from the
time be got home till he died. Ex
cepting of course, when he was
placed under the influence of an
anaeethetio by the doctor to ex
amine the wounds. My brother
said from the first that he could
not recover. A little while before
he died he called his two children
to the bedside and told them good
bye. His mind was rational and
clear to the last."
Further questioning elicited the
information that J. G. Dorrance
was sitting in the house reading at
the time of the occurrence. "I
heard two sharp reports which
sounded like the reports of a rifie
and these were followed by two re
ports that sounded as if made by
a shotgun. I immediately jumped
up and ran to the window; could
see the smoke made by the guns
but Melvin's house obstructed
the view and I could see nothing
more. A little while afterward I
saw my brother coming. His little
daughter saw him first and ran to
meet him."
S. H. Dorrance was 42 years of
age. He was married and leaves
a wife and two children. A boy
about 12 years old and a girl 14.
He has lived in Crook county three
or four years. He was buried
from the undertaking parlors of A.
H. Lippman & Co. Wednesday at
10 o'clock. Services were conduct
ed by Rev. Mr. Mitchell,
f H. A. Melvin is in bis 64th year.
He has four children all living in
California. They are all grown.
He has been a widower for a num
ber of years. , He haa lived in
Crook county for 25 years.
SHEPHERD
HANGED
He Showed no Signs
of Fear.
TRAP SPRUNG 12:40
He
Ate a Hearty Meal and
Joked about the
Haaginf.
Fred A. Shepherd has atoned
with his life for the killing of B.
F. Zell. He waa hanged at 12:55
o'clock in the penitentiary at
Salem, November 30. The execu
tion was witnessed by about forty
persons. It is said he was game
to the last. The trap waa sprung
st 12:40 and 15 minutes later the
attending physicians pronounced
him dead. The doomed man was
given the consolation of religion
by a priest of St. Joseph's Catholic
church. On the scaffold Shepherd
repeated the Lord's prayer and the
apostle's creed after which the
clergyman gave him absolution.
Shepherd acknowledged the kill
ing of B. F. Zell. He ate a hearty
meal and joked about the hanging.
After he had been dressed for the
execution he shaved, took a survey
of himself in a self-admiring war
and said: "I look pretty nice now.
I would like to have my picture
taken if I can." The request was
granted and Shepherd posed before
the prison camera for bis last
photograph. He was dressed in a
tight-fitting suit with a broad
brimmed cowboy hat and a purple
silk handkerchief tied, sailor-fashion
about his neck. When asked
where the picture should be sent
he replied, "Send it to my mother."
This ends one of the most atro
cious crimes ever committed in this
part of the country. If there ever
was any doubt or hesitancy in the
mind of the governor as to what
official action he should take in
the premises, it was dissipated by
the scathing letter of the presiding
judge. It reads:
The evidence showed the murder
to be one of the most atrocious and
fiendish acts of which I have ever
heard It was committed in order
that Shepherd, the murderer,
might ravish Mrs. Zell, the wife of
the murdered man. As far as I
know, the crime was very similar
to those committed at times by ne
groes in the South, which have
given rise to the many lynchings
in that section, and while listen
ing to the evidence of the manner

Gatewood Mining & Trading Company
OF HOWARD, CROOrf COUNTY; OREGON
Capitalization 500,000 Share. Subscription Price $1.00 per Share.
Treasury Stock 100,000, Par Value Non Assessable. j Paying from the grass roots down.
HO
I
The property consists, of 33 claims in the South
eastern part of Crook county, on the head waters of
the Ochoco river. There is an abundance of water
for power purposes and some of the best timber in the
county is located on these claims. The economic con
ditions for mining could not be better.
The mines are now on a payiny basis, but with
additional machinery they can be made a big dividend
payer as the output can be doubled with very little
additional cost of labor. In order to install this ma
chinery the management has decided to issue 10,000
shares of Treasury Stock This stock will in " all
probabilities be the last offered for sale. It will be
sold at $1.00 per share. There is no deviating from
this price. That the stock will increase in value is a
certainty. You can find no better place to invest
your, money. If you desire to get in on this you will
have to do so at once, as this stock was put on the
market in order to give the residents of the county a
chance to realize something from an investment in
" one of their own properties.
This is not a speculation at all but a sound business
investment based upon ascertained facts. The mine
has been developed beyond the experimental stage.
About the best recommendation we can give these
mines is that the men employed by the company are
investing their savings in the purchase of this stock.
Also such men as Clark, Daly, Fair, Haggin, and a
host of others have made their money from mines and
the development of them.
