TROUBLES OF IDAHO TROOPS.
Adjutant-General Vlckers Makes
Public Statement.
BOISE, Idaho, July 20. (Special.) The
facts respecting the allege trouble in the
Idaho regiment on the way home and
the suspension of Colonel McClelland
from command, as given by Adjntant
General Vickers, are as follows:
The train stopped at Pendleton for an
hour for breakfast. WThcn the hour was
up, a bugler was sent up the street, the
whistle was blown, and It seemed that all
the men were aboard. The train then
moved on. "When It reached a point 40
miles east of Pendleton, the General re
ceived a message from Colonel McClel
lan, who. with some other officers, had
been left behind. The Colonel asked that
the train be held until he could come up,
but the General found that could not
le done, and telegraphed the Colonel he
and those with him would have to come
on the regular train.
Thereupon McClellan wired, as officer
In command, that the train be held. It
was then that General Vickers placed
Lieutenant Barclay in command of the
regiment and the train moved on. The
suspension of McClellan was only tem
porary. Colonel McClellan has asked for
a court of inquiry, but the matter will be
dropped.
There was some trouble at Portland,
caused by a row between some men of
Companies F and B. The latter company
would not take berths in a car in which
some of the F Company men were quar
tered, and the trouble was straightened
out by switching the men so that the
company could have a car by Itself.

plaintiffs attorney to ask the defendant
questions Implying that he had signed a
note for $750 under an agreement that the
Portland firm of Joseph, Slager & Watson
should procure his admission to the Ore
gon bar. the King County case of Eliza
Dodds and Nathan Dodds, respondents, vs.
Thomas Graves Gregson, Is remanded, by
the Supreme Court for new trial.
Gregson was attorney for Eliza Dodson
In a divorce suit, and money in a settle
ment with her husband was paid Into his
hands. The plaintiffs alleged that he had
unlawfully converted the money to his
own use. Gregson claimed It as attor
ney's fees.. In the lower court Mrs. Dodds
obtained Judgment against him for $375.
Gregson's admission to the bar of this
state on papers from Oregon was admit
ted by the plaintiffs, but he was asked a
number of questions regarding the pay
ment of money for his admission to the"
Oregon bar, over the objection of his at
torneys. Gregson emphatically denied the
Implication, but the Supreme Court holds
that tho question wonld tend to prejudice
the Jury against the defendant, and re
versed the Judgment.
The Supreme Court has handed down
opinions in the following cases:
William Dickerson, appellant, vs. City of
Spokane, respondent; Judgment of tho
lower court in favor of the city is affirmed.
Frank A. Jones and A. C Jones, appel
lants, vs. Josephine C. Herrick, Lester

affirmed.
In the matter of the estate of Paul
Drasdo, deceased, the administrators ap
peal from an order allowing William Hick
man Moore, of Seattle, $1000 fees as spe
cial administrator. The appeal is dis
missed, because the record does aot show
that the trial court ever fixed the amount
of the supersedeas bond.
Peter Harvey and Kate Harvey, ap
pellants, vs. Dena Ivory, respondent;
Judgment for respondent Is affirmed.

FISH TAKEN BY GILLNETTERS
Few Salmon Have Yet Appeared
Above Sand Island.
ASTORIA, Or., July 20. (Special.) The
catch of salmon made last night by the
glllnetters drifting In the lower harbor
was better than on the night before, and
while the run Is notsyet large, tho belief
is general that the fish now In the river
are the advanceguard of the big run to
follow. There are few fish as yet above
Sand Island, and tho catch Is almost ex
clusively by glllnetters. They average
large and are of excellent quality, being of
the variety that was formerly known as
the June run. -.
The water In the river Is clearing rapid
ly, and within a couple of daysT the fish
should come up the river so that the traps
and seines can catch them. At present
those classes of gear are doing almost
nothing, and a haul made at the Miller
Sands yesterday afternoon resulted In
catching one steclhead. While the pres
ent outlook is good, it will be a couple
of days before the extent of the run can
be ascertained.

LIFE IS SAFE IN LAKE.
Land Agent West Returns From
Visit to Southern Counties.
SALEM, Or., July 20. (Special.) "A
man's life Is as safe in Lake County as In
any part of the state." says State Land
Agent Oswald West, who has Just spent
a few weeks In Klamath and Lake Coun
ties looking after state lands. "The kill
ing of a lot of sheep and the death of J.
C. Conn have created the Impression that
lawlessness Is the rule In Lake County,
but that Is far from the fact. It Is true
hundreds of sheep were slain by unknown
men, who thought they had a grievances
against the sheepmen, but acts of this
kind are condemned In the strongest terms
by practically all the people of the coun
ty. I did not find any one who would de
fend the slaughter of "sheep as a means
of settling 'the question of grazing on the
public domain.
"The grazing' question is going to be a
hard one to settle. ,The homesteader de
pends upon the few head of cattle he own3
for a living for himself and family. His
cattle, during the Summer, range in the
hills and mountains near his home atid are
kept up during the Winter and fed hay.
If a large band of sheep come his way
they clean out the grass, and his cattle
come home in the Fall too poor for the
market and in no condition to Winter.
"The sheepmen, on the other hand, feel
that they have a perfect right to graze
their sheep on the public domain, and If
the homesteader cannot make a living It
is not their lookout. Much of the hard
feeling Is often caused by the carelessness
of some herder who In passing a small
ranch in the mountains allows the sheep
to get In on the rancher's meadow. As
a rule they are not fenced against sheep.
"The sheepmen have offered a large re
ward for the arrest and conviction of the
parlies guilty of the sheep-killing, and
they feel that it will only be a questloprof
time until they are landed.
"Whether Conn was murdered or com
mitted suicide Is a question upon which
opinions differ Jn that part of the state.
From what I heard I should Judge that
about two-thirds of the people out there
think it was a case of suicide. I found
that people discuss the matter freely, and
do not hesitate to express their opinions,
whichever view they take. This is one
evidence that no state of lawlessness ex
ists Jn that county. The officers are doing
all they can to get down to the bottom of
the whole affair, and If Conn was mur
dered, his murderer, as well as the sheep
killers, will be found out and convicted.
His friends and the sheepmen say that the
people of Lake County are well able to
look after the matter and that all the
newspaper talk has been brought about by
overzealous friends who were afraid that
Justice would not be done.
"You must remember that Lake County
is a large county, without railroads, and
thinly populated, so that It Is not easy for
an officer to secure evidence that will lead
to the apprehension of a man who killed
sheep far out on the range. It would be
folly for an officer to start out on the
range to hunt for a desperado whom he
does not know, and all they can do Is to
gather such evidence as they can get and
await developments. r
"The people out there laugh at the Idea
that the Coroner's Jury In the Conn case
was afraid to bring In a verdict of mur
der. The Jury was composed of men who
are well able to take care of themselves
and whowere no doubt at that time thor
oughly convinced that It was a case of
suicide. Should it turn out to be murder,
they will be among the first to see that the
murderer is captured and convicted."
Mr. West says that Lake County seems
to be vers prosperous, notwithstanding
many cattle were not sold last Fall be
cause of low prices. The recent rains,
while they have destroyed some hay, have
done an immense amount of good in Im
proving pasturage. In Klamath County
groat interest is Being taxen in the irriga
tion enterprises, and the people feel confi
dent that there will be a rapid develop
ment of that section of the state as a re
sult of the reclamation of large areas of
arid land.
HOAR FROM PRATUM WELL.
Odor of Gas Follows Pumping Out of
the Water.
SALEM. Or., July 20. (Special.) All in
dications so far point strongly to the ex
istence of oil in the neighborhood of Pra
tum. eight miles east of this city. Some
time ago almost pure kerosene was dis
covered. In an old well In the rear of a
blacksmith shop. In Pratum. the property
of Rice Bros. Little credence was given
to the indications, the almost prevailing
opinion being that the well had been "salt
ed," but subsequent investigations have
disolosed some irery convincing facts, and
steps will soon be taken toward the ulti
mate discovery of crude petroleum In that
vicinity.
P. Rue. a California oil-drilling expert,
who has been carrIng on investigations
for the past three days, today set a steam
pump to work, and, after working all
day, succeeded in pumping the well dry.
when the roaring noise, which was no
ticed over ton, ears ago, resumed, and a
strong odor of gas came from the well.
D. M. Watson, of Portland, whose ex
perience in oil discoveries is well known,
visited the site of the old well at Pratum
yesterday and went over a large area of
"ground In the vicinity, with an instrument
used for the purpose of determining the
existence of oil or minerals, at various
depths -beneath the surface. Mr. Watson,
after concluding his investigations, stated
tonight that he never saw better or
stronger indications of the existence of oil,
and he beljeves that what is known as the
first strata of oil-bearing sand can be
reached at a depth of from 300 to S00 feet.
He was v.ery favorably impressed with
the character of the oil taken from the
well and thinks the prospects as a whole
are of the most favorable kind and should
be followed up to the realization of oil.
In the majority of states, Mr. Watson
says, the first strata of oil-bearing sand
runsMn streaks, but In this case the first
strata of sand Is of "blanket" formation
and covered by a broad area.

LOSS TO TILLAMOOK SHERIFF
Auditors Charge Him With $1200 in
Rebates Allowed.
TILLAMOOK, Or., July 20. (Special.)
In auditing the books of ex-Sheriff
E. W. Stanley, the auditors have
charged him up with $1200 which he
has not collected. The mistake oc
curred In giving rebates after March
15. Several weeks previous to tha.t
time, the mall was held up In the
mountains for about a month, conse
quently there were many letters In the
mall with remittances to pay taxes, so
Stanley allowed the rebate.
The auditors claim that the law does
not give the Sheriff any right to allow
rebates after March 15, so have
charged him up with the entire amount
that he allowed. All moneys collected
by Stanley ha,ve been satisfactorily
turned In and accounted for. Stanley
was appointed by the County Court to
fill tho vacancy caused by the death of
the late Sheriff-Alderman.

OLD GUARD WILL FIGHT
WASHINGTON PATRONAGE TO BE
KEPT FROM BRYAN WING,
Office of Lieutenant-Governor to Be
Especially Kept Out of the
Hands of Radicals.
SEATTLE, July 20. (Special.) Old-line
Democrats will make a strong fight at the
Belllngham Convention to control the
party nominations and prevent the selec
tion of men who would give the state
patronage over to the Bryan wing In the
event of their election. The programme
ot reorganization Is similar Jo that which
resulted in Parker's nomination for Presi
dent. The principal office the old-line Demo
crats want to keep out of the hands of the
radicals Is that of Lieutenant-Governor.
In the eeiu. Turner were to be elected
and afterward leave the office the patron
age would be turned over to the Lieutenant-Governor,
and If he should be a
Bryan Democrat the party organization
would be loBt to the men who have been
fighting to regain control ever since
fusion was discarded.
The last State Convention was in con
trol of the Bryan-Hearst wing, though the
vote was very close and might easily have
been changed. But that convention, tho
reorganization forces proclaim, will be the,
last wherein the radical wing Is in con
trol. In this fight the conservatives will be
aided somewhat by the bolt among radical
or Bryan-Hearst Democrats. There will
unquestionably be a big exodus from the
party on that account and others of the
radicals will not take the prominent part
in party affairs that they have in the
past.
The cry for Turner will help, too. Irre
spective of the nomination which Turner
may or may not receive his Influence in
framing the ticket will be strong and-It
Is counted upon In the work of reorgani
zation. He ought to be able to make It
possible to carry out the programme of
discarding the Bryan-Hearst leaders and
putting new men In control.
There Is a disposition among tho re
organization faction to concede some of
the minor nominations, that carry patron
age, to the radical wing. Such offices as
Land Commissioner, Auditor Or Secretary
of State are suggested. This patronage Is
not as great nor does Its control help so
much In controlling the organization as
that of tho Governor's office, which the
reorganization men insist they must pro
tect in any event.
When it comes to the actual show-Qown
at the State Convention this Js the senti
ment that Is going to hurt such candi
dates as Van R. Plerson, "William Black
man and Ernest Lister. It could not be
urged against Henry Drum, for he Is an
old-line Democrat and would follow out
any programme that the Turner reorgani
zation forces suggested.
SUPERINTENDENT RESIGNS.
Leaves Chemawa Indian School for
Business Interests at Belllngham.
GLADSTONE, Or., July 20. (Special.)
T. W. Potter, superintendent of the Che
mawa Indian Training School, has given
In his resignation to the Department of
the Interior, to take effect at the ap
pointment of his successor. Mr. Potter
will go to Belllngham, "Wash., where he
is a member of the firm of Evans, Potter
& Co., stationers. In 1893, Mr. Potter was
transferred from the Government school
among the Cherokees In North Carolina,
and for nine years last past has worked
as the head of the Chemawa Institution
to bring It to its present state of effi
ciency. When seen on the Chautauqua
grounds last night, Mr. Potter said:
les. I've resismed. No: there is ne
trouble. Last Spring I purchased an in
terest in a business in Belllngham,
Wash., and Intended to sever my connec
tions with the Indian School at that time,
but deferred doing so on account of the
investigation the department made of my
school a short time afterward. Now, aa
that investigation is made and the re
ports completed and submitted to the de
partment some months ago, I feel that
I cannot allow my personal Interests to he
neglected any longer, so have asked the
department to accept my resignation as
soon as my successor could be appointed.
I would like to take this opportunity
to thank the department for Its co-operation
and assistance during my nine years'
work at Chemawa."
SALEM. Or., July 30. (Special.) Several
weeks ago complaint was filed with the
Department of the Inferior, and under the
auspices of the latter, two Government of
ficials, were sent out to the Chemawa In
dian school from Washington, to conduct
an investigation of Superintendent Pot
ter's conduct of affairs at that institution,
based upon charges of a minor character,
relating to the handling of certain funds
belonging to the pupils. The report of
these officials contained nothing of an In
criminating nature in regard to the con
duct of the school, but a very mild censure
and It was thought that this would be the
end of It.
Superintendent Potter has been connect
ed with the Chema,wa institution for the
past nine years and the credit for the
building up of the school to its present
high standard 13 due to his influence with
the department and efforts along the line
of Improvement and advancement. His
resignation will be a matter of much re
gret to the people of this city as well as
the pupils and officials of the school.
