Dayton Often Broken by Imsty Calls of Fowl in Pen and Faint Echoes From Jailed Companions. yet the the vhen the Three men, one of them a .. j-nriH vara bound over to grand Jury by District Judge Dayton yesterday for conducting a cockpit. w ... -i,.h nihan were dismissed, but will probably be charged today with a lesser offense tor atienuins cockfight. "Cockfighting isn't sport at all w rnf instruments like this on birds." said Judge Dayton, holding up to view a two-inch steel spur of the kind which had been attached to the legs of the birds. "When you use things like this it is absolute V brutal ity. You might as well call it sport to force two men to fight to the death with sabers." . The trial, which occupied the entire afternoon, was conducted in a court room crowded to the doors. Proceed-in-s were frequently interrupted by the lusty crowing of a lone game-, cock, which had been brought into the room a. evidence. Five dead birds were strewn on the floor, and in sep arate box was one cock, still alive, but with a broken leg. Propesed Fight la Onrt Falls. The 31 defendants who appeared yesterday were arrested by Sheriff Hitrlburt and a posse Sunday in a raid on a cockpit on the Hal B. farm, near Oresham. Each one of the 31 men had been charged with crue ty to ani mals and also with the indictable of fense of conducting a public nuisance. Can cockfighting properly be called eruelty to animals? This Question Intruded itself. and then Judge Dayton was aaked. Why not stage a cockfight here to see sport? The Judge thought it was a good idea, but said it wai up to the District Attorney. Deputy District Attorney Robinson said he dldn t think he could prove that a rooster is an animal, so he decided to try the SI men on the other charge. The chance of seeing a cockfight in the court room fell through, much to the disap pointment of court attaches. Defendant Are Silent. Then the prosecution bumped into a serious obstacle. Not one of the 1 defendant would say a word. Most of them would not even tell their names. They sat or stood somewhere in the courtroom, and their names were on the complaint, but tbey could not be made to answer. That is why one of the three ringleader is sti.l un- kni!ei'e W. Pitts, of the Oregon Humane Society, told how he had fer reted out the cockfighting game and had induced Harry Osman, owner of the farm, to let hira In to see the sport Mr Pitts testified under the surmise that everybody else knew all about the case, so his story was not well connected. He said everybody in the building was gambling when he en tered Some were shaking dice, some drinking beer and other betting on the outcome of the next fight. Separate Trials Memanded. Robert F. Maguire and Roger Sinnott appeared as attorneys for the 31 close mouthed men. They did not want a "blanket" case, or to have all the de fendants tried in a bunch, but insisted that they be taken in small doses. Marry Osman and Ed Fletcher, who were said to have had charge of one of the cocks and to have bet money on It, were named for the first trial. Mr Pitta said Fletcher had sawed off the spurs of one of the cock and the stub had bled profusely. Then the steel spurs, two inches long and sharp as needles, were strapped to the bird s legs. The humane officer said Fletcher and "some other man" argued about the amount they would bet on their birds, and linally wagered 310. -Osman, Fletcher and this other man with whom he bet will be bound over to the grand jury," announced Judge Dayton. Ball Money Refused. "I don't know who that other man is, but he is in the crowd somewhere. Most likely he has bail money up. I will direct that no bail be returned until this man shows himself. He'll have to come out of the crowd and let us find out who he is." A dozen or more steel spurs, five dead chickens, one with a broken leg and one very much alive, were introduced in evidence. The cock in the apple box frequently crowed lustily. Five flights down and on the opposite side of the Courthouse his 15 whilom companions heard him, and the chorus of answers faintly reached the courtroom. "What will be done with these birds?" asked Deputy Sheriff Phillips after the trial was over. "I suppose you'll have to take care of them until the grand jury gets through with the case." replied Judge Dayton. "And have them eat the county a good wheat?" pursued Phillipe. "The county's good wheat," repeated the judge. "1 guess you'd better charge it up to expenses in this case. Better keep the dead ones, too, because the grand jury will want them." So the criminal department of Sheriff Hurlburt's office is charged with the difficult task of caring for 22 game cocks, of which It are much alive, one is badly injured and five are dead. In view of the fact that it may be weeks before the grand jury can take up the case, the dead cocks present a more eertous problem to the Deputy Sheriffs than the live ones. The live cocks in the Sheriff's posses sion are said to be worth about $300. Not one of the SI defendants will admit that he owns one of the cocks, although each one is worth 315 or more. To admit ownership, they figure, would be an admission that they had taken an active instead of a passive part in the sport.

Instru ments will be placed on Black Rock Mountain, in the Umpqua forest; Mount Wilson, in the Oregon forest, east of Portland; Buck Mountain, in the Okanogan forest, in Washington, and some peak to be selected later In the Crater forest, surrounding Crater Lake. These peaks to be used for observa tions are all from 5000 to 6000 feet in height. C. H.
