THE MORNING OR EC ONI AN, FRIDAY. MAY 2S. ltXr-. MAP IS EXHIBIT IN HANLEY TRIAL Surveyor Reports Fence Around Federal Land Is No Solid Barrier. STOCK IS NOT KEPT OUT AVitnsf- for Defense of Wealthy Rancher Say Enclosed Land la TJsed for Pasture by All Who Desire. -i-ne"" ,or the defense In the trial f T m,am Hanley for the alleged un lawful fencing of Government land In Harney County yesterday testified that the lnclosure surrounding the public land was not such a formidable ob struction as to prevent stock from com ing onto the premises. The same wit nesses gave further testimony to the effect that the pasture lands so In closed were commonly used by all of the residents of that section of the county. The principal witness for the defense was A. Faulkner. County Surveyor of Harney County, who was on the stand for the greater part of the day. Last April Mr. Faulkner made a survey of the entire lnclosure at the Instance of the defendant and the map which he prepared from his observations and field notes, showing the present condi tion of the fencing, was admitted in evidence. In making this survey Mr. Faulkner and three assistants spent 10 days, while the special agent, repre senting the Government, devoted less than three days In making the observa tions on which the Government Insti tuted a criminal suit against Mr. Han ley. Many Opening Are Found. On direct examination. Mr. Faulk ner testified that on one side of the Inclosed tract, in a distance of 184 miles, there were 0 openings tn the fence through which cattle had access to the land inclosed. Of that number of openings witness said 12 were gates. 2S were gaps where the wires had been cut or removed, while the other 20 en trance!! resulted from the fact that the fence had fallen down. On another side of the lnclosure In a distance of 10 miles, witness testified that he found 35 other such openings, five of which were gates. 20 places in which the wire had been cut while the fence was entirely down in the other 10 Instances. United States Attorney McCourt de preciated the weight of this ' testimony to some degree by gaining from the witness the admission that In the ag- - gregate the 5 openings about the ln closure did not exceed 2000 feet, or about two-fifths of a mile for the en tire distance of over 65 miles around the lnclosure. Witness further admit ted that some of the openings In the line of fence had been made recently, but when asked if the partial destruc tion of the fence had not been made In the last few months, declined to make a definite statement. Insisting- that he could not tell whether the fence had been disturbed recently or whether the openings had been maintained for two or three years. The witness persisted in asserting that the general condi tion of the fence was not such that it would turn stock. Caught fp by McConrt, ' "William E. Reed and W. T. Struck, who accompanied Faulkner on his sur vey of the lnclosure. corroborated the direct testimony of the surveyor. The former, however, made an admission on cross-examination by District At torney McCourt. of which the prosecu tion sought to make a point tending to show that neighbors residing outside the lnclosure were not welcome to graze their stock on the fenced land. Reed, in testifying that he had fre quently seen sheep on the pasture land, said that whenever he approached the flocks, the herders always "hiked" and Invariably hid themselves. The District Attorney tried to tie the witness down on this point and prove that there was some good reason for the herders to show any alarm at the approach of anybody representing the Hanley Interests. In response to more direct questions 1n explanation of this conduct on the part of the herders, the witness explained that It was cus tomary for the keepers of sheep either to He down on the ground or get be hind some - obstruction whenever a stranger approached. During the examination of Faulkner the defense offered In evidence a score of photographs which had been taken for the purpose of showing the actual condition of the fence at the time the surveyor made the detailed examina tion of the lnclosure last month. In connection with his testimony. Reed further supported the contention of the defense that the Inclosed premises were used by all stockmen for gracing their herds, by testifying that annually the neighbors assembled at the principal ranch to attend the "round-up1 and claim thatr cattle. He declared that stockmen residing outside the lnclo sure at no time were prohibited from driving their herds onto the fenced land and that when outside stock was brought onto the Inclosed grazing lands the employes of Hanley never attempted to drive them out.

"Umbrella Jlmmle" Sheridan, buga boo of the children of South Portland, was up In the Municipal Court yester day morning on a charge that would have sent him to the penitentiary or insane asylum had he been guilty. But the court found that he had been made the victim of chtldlstr Immaginatlon and so he escaped punishment. Maggie Oosgrove. 14 years old. was lbs complaining witness, she testified in all seriousness that "Umbrella Jlm mle" pursued her a few evenings since. while armed with a large revolver. Ha fired three shots after her, she said, but thanks' to her sprinting ability she avoided the leaden missiles and es caped with a bad scare. Except for the interference of an unknown man, she would have been killed or injured any way, she said. This unknown over powered the esratlc Irishman and took the revolver away from him, the child Insisted. She told of another little girl who had been threatened with a knife In Sheridan's hands. "Umbrella Jlmmle" has been sojourn ing hereabouts for the last 2SS years, or thereabouts, and has been In trouble on an average of il times a year. But his troubles have never amounted to much, arising chiefly out of his dif ficulties with mischievous boys. He has always been looked upon as quite harmless. Judge Van Zante was not inclined to believe be attempted to shoot a little girl, especially when there was no testimony except that of the child. In South Portland. Sheri dan is the bugaboo whereby parents frighten their little ones Into good be havior. The court concluded the Cos grove girl saw "Umbrella Jlmmle." that he made a face at her and her imag ination did the rest.' The case was dismissed. 2BTH 3ESS IS ON BISHOP S. P.
