PRISON PRECEPTS "Witnesses" Taken at Gresh am Sunday Give Sheriff's Office Busy Day. FREE FIGHTS FREQUENT T-rowcss of 'Arrested' Birds Vouched I'or by Deputy AVho Tried to Separate Them and Jailer Who Served Their Rations. Seldom lias Sheriff llurlburt had a Trior- unruly eet of prisoners to oeai with than the 25 flg-hting cocks now confined in the basement of the Court house. Captured in a raid on a fight ing pit on the Hal B. farm near Gresh am Sunday, the birds are held as evidence against the 31 men who were caught when the Sherirt s posse swoop ttoirii on the farm and stopped the eport. MrtKf nrknnArx are amenable to rea son or at least to kind treatment. Not no these roosters, however. Early yes- .rdv mornlnc they Btarted to crow, and for several hours they kept the basement ringing with their cries of ' defiance. To make matters worse, eight of the cocks were dead, and these required almost as much attention as the live ones. Then four of the blooded birds, penned under the same drygoods box, started fighting. Noting the change in the concert tune, one of the -engineers called the .Sheriff's office, and JJeputy Sheriff Christoftersen rushed Into the melee. Reaching a brawny arm under the box, the deputy received ,var9i ihsm blnws on the band. At the expense of many small sections of flesh Mr. Christoftersen piacea mem In separate "cells. Tha ri.nntv walked back into nls of fice somewhat red-faced, and with his handkerchief covering his right hand. --Kmatter with your hand, CbriB?" ol o.l An, nf b i M CO 111 I) H II 1 0 II H. '-Tinkering with my motorcycle," miimhiaH Ch rist offersen. Then it became necessary to feed the cocks. Bob Phillips, chief criminal deputv. with the assistance of some of the other members of his force, at tempted this task. They released the 17 live birds and tried to feed them on ! hiuiernent floor. In a minute a -for-nll fiirht had started. This time it was almost necessary to send in x riot call. But for the fact that Mr. 1'hilllDs had the foresight to remove the steel spurs from the cocks, some fatalities might have resuitea. Alter time however, the disturbance was duelled and the cocks secured under separate boxes. Deputy District Attorney Roblson de clares he will move the entire battalion f cocks, including the dead ones, to District Judge Bell's courtroom this morning at 10 o'clock, when the 31 men arrested in the raid are brought tip for trial. Mr. Roblson yesterday filed two separate complaints against the men. One charges cruelty to animals. Should It be decided that roosters are not ani mals, then there is another resource. The second complaint is under the so called "omnibus act." This charges the defendants with committing an act which "grossly disturbed the public peace, openly outraged public decency and injured public morals." This is an indictable misdemeanor, carrying a penalty of one to six months' imprison ment or a fine of $50 to $200. Another phase of the cock-fighting situation is looming seriously on the horizon. What will be done with the cocks when the state is through with them? They cannot be returned to their original owners. They cannot be kept in the Courthouse basement, eat ing the county's good wheat, until they die of old age. Nobody has appeared who wants to put in a serious claim for them. Judge Bell will have to de cide what will be done with them. TRADE CALLED SPOTTED WAR PKEUS VP MAST FACTORIES, W. HAMMOND FIXDS. Portland Man, Bark From East, Thinks In View of Rumored Shoe Deal It aly May Flan to Kilter War. While in the Kast on a pleasure and business trip Winthrop Hammond, president of the Hammond Mortgage Company, of this city, heard that rep resentatives of the Italian government Jiad arranged with a large Eatsern shoe concern for the purchase of 2.000, 00 pairs of shoes In case Italy decided to enter tile European war April 1. In view of the trend of events since then Mr. Hammond, who has returned to Portland, is inclined to think there may be some foundation to the report that Italy is planning to enter the con. Iliot. "The only word I can think of that will describe business conditions in the Kast is 'spotted'," said Sir. Hammond last night. "Factories generally are quiet, but those which have to do with the manufacture of things needed in the war zone are making greater re turns than they ever made before. "For tiie usual channels of invest ments, such as mortgages, practically no money is to be had in the East and the rate is high. For short time loans, however, the prevailing rate is only 3 per cent, which indicates that there is plenty of money in the banks. Mr. Hammond's trip took him to Chi. cago.
