The races at Independence, have
proved to be the best ever held at that
place. The attendance has been smalt,
but the very best racing nf the season as
been done, despite the poor support ac
corded the horsemen, Oa Thursday .the
opening, there were scarcely one hundred
people present, and yet a splend'd pro
gram was put on.
The first was a harness event for trot
ting 2-year olds. "Eltypt" a A. S. by
Coeur D'Alene. and driven by Ed Moeh
ier, won the race in straight heat, going
the first half of the last mile in 1 :16.
The 2:17 trot brought out the beet field
of ho see that ever faced a .tarter on the
Independence t ack Boner N. B., Me
teor and Helen J. taced in orcVr named.
Best time, 2 -.19. Then followed the event
of the day Del Norte 2:08 went hie first
mile in pub'icas a "guidtl.ees" and cov
ered the mile in 2:15. A halt mile dash
in which Robert H , owned by Case, the
barber, took the first place, closed the
program lor tne aiternon.
Friday saw few more people present,
and a good afternoon's racier. There
were three event. JThe 2:37 trot
was won by Lady Careful.dnven.'bv Luke
LdDcarj, in tu. tcoon lime ei ziz.
uorai, a riven oy Moener Jr. took one
heat in 2:29. The 2:25 pacing race
brought together Altawood, Prince, Tom
and Tokio, Altawood won in straight
heats. Best time, 2 :22. This race was
hotly contested, and tbe small crowd
pree-nt aaw a horse race. Del Norte
was then given a warming up mile by his
owner, C E. BarrrOws, who baa devel
oped and trained the speedy black son of
olC Altament, and has tons proven him
self a horseman the per of any on the
coast. A few minutes later Ed Moshier
mounted on a running mate, brought the
tftiidelesa pacer to tte wire, and nodded
or the word Alter having gone the
first eighth in the fast time of 15 seconds
his bpoples hnke and he was returned
for a eecoud trial. This time he was
more fort u Date, and flew to the half like
tbe wind in 'he heat breaking time of
1:03,'. Heading into the stretch, he
elan d for home as though determined
to shatter his own mark, and steadied hy
Mosnier, he pushed his nose under the
wire in 2:09 fiat Sum a performance
was well worth go ng many mile to wit
ness Saturday he did even better going
the mile inKM.the half in 1K32. This
stamps Del Norte as one of the greatest
bore of the aee.
Too much credit cannot be given to all
who contributed to th. success of this
meeting. 8pecial mention is due the
veteran horseman and breeder, S. C
Moener, who worked long and bard to
make tnis an attractive meeting.

An Interesting Case
United States Marshal Houeer left for
Union this morning tu levy execution
against A. C. Jones, a merchant of thai
town, and James Phy.sheriff of tbe roon
ty.to enlore the payment of a judgment for
$2000 recently obtained against them by
C. A. Bushnell in tne United States cir
cuit court in this city.
Bushnell sued for I20.00C damages for
alleged malicious prosecution and false
imprisonment He ia an itinerant pho
tographer. and was following bis avoca
tion in Washington wben Jones under
took o bring him back to et. force the
collection of a claim, it e allesd. A
charge ol larceny by bailee was preferred
against Bushnell in the justice court at
union, Jones claiming that he bad de-
ramped with some of his photographic
supplies Bushnell had been in the em
ploy of Jones prior to bia trip in Washington.
The papera were nlaced in the hinds of
Sheriff Pby for service, and beaocreeded
in bringing Bushnell back into Oregon.
L poo the examination of Bushnell be
fore the justice he was discharged . Tbe
damage suit followed. Upon the trial ol
this action it was shown that there was
noteveo probable cause for the arrest of
Bushnell upon a criminal charge, and
that be was brought back into Oregon for
the sole purpose of enforcing payment of
an alleged claim that should prooerly
have been brought into tbe civil courts
for adjudication. It was also shown tbat
Sheriff Pby took Bushnell oit of tbe state
of Washington without warrant of law,
acd that he manifested nndnezeal in the
prosecution.
Tbe damage action was stnhbomly con
tested at the trial, bat Bushnell made
ont strong case, and it was only by a
mere scratch that he did not get a verdict
lor foOOO, instead of $iXM The sum
to000 was first written out in tbe verdict,
bnt as one of the 12 jurymen deemed this
award excessive the amount was reduced
to $2000.
A motion for a new trial was argued
before Judge tiilhert two days aso and
denied. There therefore r-mains noth
ing for the defendants to d) now but pay
the judgment, as there ia little gmond
upon which to
gram.

From the I'rineville Review :
There are liara andj then there are
some that are not liars but the following
debato which look place at Ontario re
cently between a gentleman from John
Day, in Grant county mid a Malheur
rancher, undoubtedly has some merit
in exaggrated prevarication.
The subject under discussion was the
comparative merits of Malheur and
Grant counties as agricultural regions.
The gentleman from John Day stated
with some warmth that he had to dig
through the apples on his place last vear
to get to the land for planting his winter
wheat. Whetvuon the man from Mal
heur related that he had a ten acre tract
of wheat this year upon which the wheat
grew so rank that the weight of tho
heads broke the stalks in two in the
middle, so he could not cut it. When it
grew rijie he concluded to tramp it out
on the ground and for this purple ho
turned in 85 head of horses and drove
them back and forth over the field for a
few hours. When ho turned then out
and raked of the straw, the wheat was
up to the second wire of the fence, end
the man from John Day subsided.

Enquirer of San Francisco:
Seeing the fine disp'ar of waiermeloos
io the markets of Oakland reminds me
oi the Mongolian cr Chinese pheasants.
hich some of enr sportsmen rre inter
ested in introducing into this state, aod
btcb are more destructive to tbe water
melon patch than a small army of Ala
bama eoons. w bile a resident of tbe
stale of Oregon, where these pheasants
abound, I have, on different occasions,
gone to gather load of water melons
lor tbe market and have found hundreds
of the finest and ripest with big holes in
them which than peaky nuisance of a
bird bad dug during ue night. They
know a ripe melon every time, acd pro
ceed to pick bole through tbe rind and
eat ont the heart. Tbe pheasants will
alto eat young beans nerlyas soon as
they are formed on Ibe vine, and are
very destructive to grain crops and Bar
den truck. I have, eeen wheat fields
that bad the anpearance of a band of
turkey being in them. They are so de
structive tbat in some sections tbe farm
ers bave to herd them off their fields
While they may bee good bird for the
portsman, they are a bid one for tbe
farmers, and an ounce of prevention is
Letter than a pound of cure. My advice
is to keep ibem out of this county and
