JOSEPH SIMPSON TRIED
FOR
HOMICIDE
IN 1864.
There Had Been
Many “Killing«."
But That Was the First Official
Recognition That Taking
Human
Life Was a Crime—Defendant Was
Sent Up Under a Life Sentence,
But Was Pardoned—The Murder
Took Place at Umatilla.
in the good old days when Uma­
tilla county stretched from The
Dalles almost to Huntington. the
present town of Umatilla was the
principal city of the eastern part of
the state, the center to which all the
freight roads converged and the ren
dezvous of all the bad men of the
country.
Every morning some one was
"planted" in the sand back from the
river and nothing thought of it. and
it was not until 1864 that the first
man was tried in the county for the
crime of murder. The present coun
ty boundaries had then been estab­
lished and the capital had been
placed at Umatilla, and in the old
court house there justice was hand
ed out in trontier style to the vlolat
ors of the law.
According to the records. Joseph
Morrison. Henry Miller. Edgar Her-
eck and John Baker were tried for
assault with intent to commit mur­
der early in 1863. and fined $40 each;
but it was until June. 1864. that the
first indictment for murder was re­
turned. in the ease of the State vs.
Joseph Simpson.
Simpson and a man named Smith
were eating in a little restaurant in
Umatilla, when a quarrel arose over
the food on the table Some words
were passed and ugly things said, as
both of the men had been drinking
to some extent, but matters were
supposedly adjusted, and the mea!
proceeded in peace.
Smith finished first, and leaving
the dining room sat down on the
doorstep in front of the house
Simpson, after a short time, com
pieted his meal and coming out ot
the door, suddenly whirled and shot
Smith before he could see who bad
come from the place.
A crowd rushed to the place and
carried Smith to the hotel across
the street, which was rub at that
time by Jesse Failing, now of this
city, where he was laid on the floor
of the office, dying in a few minutes.
The bullet entered under his collar
bone and passed downward through
his lungs.
Frank Maddock was then sheriff,
and happened to be riding through
town at the time the shots were
fired. He rode to the hotel and.
jumping from his horse, tied the ani­
mal to the porch while he went in
side to investigate.
Simpson had. in the confusion,
slipped under the porch of the ho­
tel. and when Maddock left his horse
and while the rest of the populace
were pressing into the hotel, cut the
bridle reins and springing onto the
sheriff's horse made a dash for lib­
erty. He was run down by a posse,
and after a battle, was brought back
to the county jail.
The case was brought up at the
June term of court, but was post­
poned by Judge J. G. Wilson until
the November term, when it was
tried before a jury consisting of
Henry Bowman. John H. Duger. Na­
poleon B. Evans. Thomas R. Lowe.
Narcisse A. Cornoyer. John Ramsey,
William Mitchell, J. P. Magers. Wil
liam Neal. Carrol B.-ard, Charles
Brown and David Coffman, the latter
of whom is now one of the oldest res­
idents of Pendleton.
The state was represented by -----
Odell as prosecuting attorney, and
the defendant by the firm of Kelly &
Morford. The trial was one of the
events of the year, a great number
of people of the surrounding country
coming to attend court.
After a lengthy trial the defendant
was found guilty of murder in the
Becond degree, and sentenced to im­
prisonment for life at hard labdr;
but was afterward pardoned upon
the solicitation of a number of the
jurors and residents of the county.
This was the first trial and convic­
tion for murder in the history of the
county, after its re-organization and
establishment under the
present
boundary.

by E. P. Dodd.
The county court met this morning
it 9 o'clock and took up consideration
jf the petition for the Wild Horse
road. The petition was granted, and
Alex Hudson. Dave Nelson and J. W.
Kimbrell appointed as viewers, to re­
port at the May term. March 19 was
set as the day when the work of
viewing should be done.
In the afternoon the court took up
the consideration of the county print­
ing graft as engineered by the Trib­
une. The court called Otto Didion,
the operator who set the tax list, and
M. Schrack, the foreman of the East
Oregonian office, as expert witnesses
in determining the extent of the pad
ding used by the Tribune in printing
the list
Didion testified that he had been
told by E. P. Dodd, the editor of the
Tribune, to vary from the copy as
furnished by the sheriff, to spread his
work out. He had done so for the
first column or two, but that Dodd

Works—Apathy and
Heedlessness
on Part of the People Means Delay
Judge S. A. Lowell, of this city,
one of the very foremost workers in
the great Irrigation movement, writes
the following stirring appeal to citi­
zens of Oregon on the necessity of
electing irrigationists to the legisla­
ture. in order that by wise laws, the
state may be made ready to receive
the blessings of national irrigation,
plans for which are being energetl
rally pursued in different portions of
the state.
Voters are urged to read and pon
ler well Judge Lowell's sentiments
>n this important question.
Pendleton. Maron 7.— (To the Ed
(tor.)—Permit me to urge through
your columns, upon the eve of the
several political conventions, that
there are interests confronting the
voters of Oregon more important
than party triumph or individual suc­
cess.
I refer to the necessity of such re
vision of the laws of the state relat­
ing to the use of its waters as wil
meet the requirements of the federal
•overnment in its reclamation pro­
tects.
No greater responsibility
ever
-ested upon a legislature of a West­
ern state than will rest upon mat
which assembles at Salem in January
next. The enactment of a progress
ve and comprehensive irrigation act
will unquestionably mean the imme
iiate beginning of permanent govern­
ment operations within our borders,
which will not cease until millions of
dollars have been expended, and des
ert places respond in abundant crops
ind happy homes.
On the other hand, failure to leg
islate. or to legislate wisely, will
mean delay of years in this work
which is to be the crowning glory of
•he century to arid America.
While the engineers of the geologi-
al survey are already prosecuting
their labors in this state, it is well
understood that such work is pre­
liminary in its character, and that
nothing permanent or decisive will
be done until there shall be effected
radical amendments to our statutes
A bill will be drawn by the very
able irrigation commission appoint-,
ed by the state law board, acting in
collaboration with the experienced
hydrographic engineers in the gov­
ernment service, but. however meri­
torious or necessary such measure
may be. it wil] not become a law un­
less there be strong men In both
branches of the legislature to urge
and sustain it.
Many of the states in the arid belt
have recently enacted new laws upon
these subjects by substantially unan­
imous votes of their legislatures, but
in this state, when varying condi­
tions exist as to soil, climate and hu­
midity. the desired result will prob­
ably be rescued only*by labor, com
promise and diplomacy.
Given wise legislation, it now
seems probable that the opening of
another ,spring will witness in this
county the government's first reclam­
ation experiment in Oregon, and sue
cess here will be followed by like
work in every other county and every
other stream where water is avails
ble. and arid lands require its arti­
ficial application.
Will not all political parties then
nominate for the' legislature their
strongest men—men broad enough to
grasp the far reaching Importance of
this most vital subject—and will not
the press of al) parties urge the in
terests and hopes of our state, which
seem to rest in the balances at this
time, to rise or fall as the legislative
assembly shall determine this ques­
tion? Respectfully,

Peddlers from Eastern nurseries

out. to the Western communities
This stock fats to grow, puts the
purchasers back a year in starting
an orchard, and is a clear robbery.
They Heyburn amendment sought to
prohibit inis unjust traffic in fruit
trees, inasmuch as the practice of
selling the worthless stock is becom­
ing so universally demoralizing in
some Western districts.
While the same practice prevails
to a certain extent in Oregon, it has
not reached the degree here that it
has in Idaho. There is a growing
tendency in Oregon to patronize
home nurseries and turn down the
foreign agents who enter the field.
The same condition could be
brought about in Idaho, if ¡>eople
would patronize their home nurser
ies, and refuse to buy of the tran
sients. It is an abuse which is
brought upon the orchardists by
themselves.
There is a general movement in
the West looking toward better
grades of fruit, and the eradication
of the pests, and although it seems
difficult to reach the questions by
law. there must be united action on
the part of the people to Improve
conditions.
George Perringer and J. A. Fee
have returned from a trip to Port­
land where they went to attend the
J. L. McCarty sale of blooded stock,
which was held in that city last
week. At this sale 180 bead of
blooded stock changed bands, some
very promising horses being in the
list.
Mr. Perringer bought the 5-year-
old brown stallion. McKinney Me.,
the son of the noted McKinney, pay­
ing $600 for him. Mr. Perringer will
keep his new purchase in this city.
Mr. Perringer also bought for Mr.

Great Northern stations yesterday
with everything odd In luggage from
a carpet bag to a huge drygoods
box. When the first section of the
long delayed Burlington train pulled
Into Spokane at 9 a. m., the immi­
grants piled from the coaches and
swarmed
over the
platform to
stretch their legs during the ten 'min­

Over a hundred of them stopped
over to see Spokane and to begin the
search for a prospective home. The

The Spokane Elks are taking steps
to preserve the few remaining elk in
the state of Washington With this
end in view the order has passed
resolutions petitioning the represen­
tatives of this state to use all their
powers tn making the Olympia forest
reserve a game preserve. The reso­
lution is as follows;
"Resolved. That in order to pro­
tect the few elk yet remaining In the
state of Washington, and to prevent
their wanton destruction, it is imper­
Most of the things a mar. says
ative that the entire Olympic forest would benefit the world just as much
reserve be made a game preserve, if he was to neglect to say them.
and that it is the unanimous senti­
ment of the lodge that the represen­
tatives of this state at Washington.
D. C.. be petitioned to use their best
endeavors in securing this legists
tion. and that the secretary shall
transmit a copy of this resolution to
the Washington State Game and Fish
Protective Association of Seattle,
commending their action In the mat­
ter." ,
All Elk lodges in the state of
Washington will be asked to take
similar action.—Walla Walla States­

F. W. Kettenbach and family re­
turned Thursday night from an ex­
tended visit In San Francisco and
Southern California resorts.
Mr.
Kettenbach reports that the trip was
a very pleasant one but that other
than for pleasure purposes the coun­
try does not appeal to the business
man as do the stirring and progres­
sive business centers of the north­
west.
"That country depends chiefly up­
on the business derived from the
tourists." said Mr. Kettenbach yes­
terday. "and has many pleasant re­
sorts that attract large numbers of
travelers during all months of the
year The railroads seem to depend
more upon the passenger traffic than
freight business as do also the num
erotis electric roads that form a net­
work of lines In the southern parts
of the state. It would seem that in
such a country as ours, where the
freight tonnage Is so much greater
than In California an electric line
project would be much more feas­
ible than under the conditions which
the passenger lines are operated.
“On account ot a drought in a
large section of the country the ag­
ricultural and stock industries have
been badly crippled but where irri­
gation is carried on the country
seems reasonably prosperous
Un­
der the most favorable conditions,
however, only a small per cent of the
country is profitably cultivated and
but for the Immense tourist trade
the country would be far from pros­
perous.— Ix-wlBton Tribune.

HAS
IN LEARNING ABOUT THE SPRING STYLES?
Members.
The city couucil of Boise City,
after a splriteu battle, has decided
that the Y. M. C. A. is not a recog­
nized church organization, and that
therefore the ordinance prohibiting
a saloon within 400 feet of a church
building does not apply to this or­
ganization.
A license was petitioned for in a
building across front the Y. M. C. A
hall, and the members of the asso­
ciation fought against granting the
icense on the church ordinance, and
the ministerial association and the
salvation army supported the Y. M.
C. A. contention, but the saloon In­
fluence on the city council was too
strong, and the liceuse was granted.

We have on hand a very large stock of solid dry
wood of all kinds (not half seasoned green wood) but
dry wood, which burns and gives out heat. We are
prepared to deliver this good wood promptly for cash.
A trial order for our wood will make you want more
when you are out of fuel.
