vin and Dorrance for over a year.
it grew as outer as feuds generally
do before the twig snaps. A year
ago, Dorrance, who owned a saw
mill, bought the timber on the
Melvin claim. It was purchased
under contract, by virtue of which
Dorrance reserved the right to use
the land upon which the timber
wax standing for his stock.
Jiut Dorrance abused his risht.
it is said, and used the contract as
an excuse to monopolize Melvin's
fields with bis cattle. This led to
the first disagreement between the
two. Later another dixpute over
water rights widened the breach
already existing. Threats and
counter-threats were indulged in,
and a few months after the first
trouble had sealed the hatred of
the men toward each other, neither
left his ranch without carrying a
gun. In a personal encounter be
tween the two men Dorrance
Siounded Melvin into insensibility
I still shows the marks and car
ries the bruises he received.
Dorrance continued to send his
cattle into Melvin's fields, and the
latter one day shut up several
head in his barn behind a pad
locked door. Dorrance, learning
of this, went to the Melvin ranch
armed with a rifle and was cutting
away the barn door with a hatchet
when Melvin started from the
house toward the intruder with a
loaded rifle. James McCall, who
lived with Melvin, sprang between
the two and prevented what in all
probability would have proed a
fatal duel.
A few days later to punish Mc
Call for his interference, Dorrance
overtook him while on horseback.
nd at the point of a rifle barrel
McCall wad compelled to alight
from his horse. Dorrance then
marched him up the road to a
structed and bade him work with
1 diligence. Dorrance stood beside
jH him, rifle in hand, to see that the

"Work here for a couple of
hours, free of charge," said Dor
rance, "and learn not to interfere
next time."
There were other attempts with
out number when fatal results.
arising from the strained relations
between the two men, . were nar
rowly averted, and the various
troubles which had caused such
bitter hatred finally were brought
More the circuit court October
hist in the nature of a lawsuit.
Judge Frazer of Portland, who was
sitting on the bench in Prineville
at that term, hearing of the dis
tressing phases of the trouble be
tween the two and the firearms
they carried for protection one
from the other, advised that they
have their attorneys settle their
differences out of court. The ar
rangement apparently wan satis
factory and long before the fatal
shots were fired, Melvin had agreed
to dispose of his property holdings
and move to California. The ar
rangement, however, had not been
carried into effect when the two
came face to face in the timber.
As if the details of the tragedy had
been prearranged, the firing began
almost instantly.
Melvin is past 63 years of age
and in view of the general dislike
with which Dorrance was held in
the community it is not believed
that a jury will hold the form
er to a severe penalty for his act
in protecting himself from a man
of quarrelsome diposition.
Dorrance wns divorced from his
wife, who resides in the east, and
lived on his ranch with his 9-vear-
old son. He was about 42 years
of age and had operated a sawmill
in western Crook county for the
past two years.
Frank Oibora is Commissioner.
