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 JIMMIE" FREED
Court Holds Child Accuser Imagined
"Bugaboo" Fired at Her.
"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.

place, and still the good work goes on.
The visitor at Colombia Beach these warm, resort-sot testing days will discover
that we are indeed doing great things. The photographs used in this advertisement

forward. Columbia Beach is in truth the seaside capital of the Tforthwest.
Columbia Beach will have two roomy and well-equipped boat-houses.' one on
Neacoxie Creek and the other on Smith's Lake. The former will house the new row
boats and canoes placed there by the company and the latter will make a home for
the new 21-foot launch.
Columbia Beach will have a large number of rustic seats and bridges. Grading
is now being done on the baseball diamond and running track. Two regulation tennis
court are being installed. These will be "saatched board" courts to Insure good
footing and make them usable at any time.
2500 feet of 12-foot by S-inch planking I being laid on Tifth street, connecting
Idylewylde Park with the Beach front. Two well have been bored, with a splendid
flow of good drinking water, a report upon which will be published within a few day.
At both well we are erecting tanks of 30.000 gallons capacity each. A gravity system
will supply the entire beach. Thousands of feet of pipe is now on the property.
