Au epidemic of hurst stealing has broken out in this county, 22 head being taken within a month past, from three widely separated locali ties. One bunch was missed about i month ago by the owner, but he was relin taut to believe they were stolen, ind ditl not r«-|*«rt the loss to the authorities until he had searched far »nd wide lor his property under the impression that they had merely strayed. Anywhere from three to four weeks »go Tom Kerr, who lives at the mouth of Juul|>er canyon, missed 22 lead of his horses one morning. They tad either broken down the pasture .ence iti a weak place, or it had been ■rokeit down for them, and they were .¡one. Exhaustive search through lie neighborhood was followed by » hunt tor them over the Columbia, tut both were fruitless of even hit ing a trail. Mr Kerr finally got on their track »nd to his own satisfaction decided hat they had Qeeti driven south al most directly from Juniper, into the .nterior. aud front thence westward. The thieves carefully avoided the -uads aud trails leading into Prine rille, and followed the Barlow pass .»Ute westward through the Cascades »nd into the Willamette »alley. There ■s evidence indicating that they were »old out by ones and twoes and hrees tn the neighborhood of Hub- >»rj. which is not far from Salem. >ut as yet it has not been possible o Identity any "ot the animal* This heft was bold and doubtless profita ble to the perpetrators Stolen in Pendleton. Wednesday ot last week Jack Sparks and Earl Rockwell, ranchers living on Birch creek, seven miles r- m town, rode into town and hitch ed their saddle horses—good animals —on Alta street, near Tut-tsch'» store. Both men were encumbered with «chaps and heavy spurs. Upon dis mounting they hung the schai * and «purs over the saddles, and went »bout town in the transaction of bus- mess Long before dark they went :or their burses, intending to ride out >f town, but both were missing, with ill the accoutrements—saddles, bn- Iles, spurs and schaps Both were -xpenstve outfits and the burses were stout, stocky, excellent aud »ell «roken saddle horses- not ;*»nies. Immediate and vigorous search .ailed tu reveal the slightest clue to any of the property, one reason be ing that the sear<hers did not have be slightest idea that a clue would e possible in th*- dire« ion of th*- twners’ homes, whereas it transpires hat either immediately, or perhaps ■ n the night, both horses bad been ridden or driven either directly or in lirectly past the Birth creek neigh xirhood in which they were owned. Friday night both horses «ante nome. but without a vestige of the »ccoutrements with which they were equipped when taken It is not cer tain. but probable, that both came from the south, jierhaps from the Pilot Rock country, where they had been turned loose aft« r being divest yd of their outfits. The identity of the thieves and the lisposition made of the schaps and jther effeits is absolutely unknown at present to either the owners of the horses or the authorities. One the ory advanced is that the property yet missing was gambled off during ’he concluding days of the celebra tion on the reservation, either at games or on horse races. It Is only fair to say that this is theory, but It is plausible, to say the least. Four Stolen at Holdman. I.ast Friday night John Thorn, of Hohlman. had three horses stolen That they were stolen is not positive ly known, but on the other hand here is no indication whatever that they .have strayed. At the same time, a horse that came to Fred Mc Quay several months ago as a stray, was taken. The latter animal was straying about the neighborhood aud picking its living along the roads, but its whereabouts were known, and the three horses from Thorn's place are known to have been driven out of the neighborhood along the road upon which the stray was grazing. All four horses are missing at this time. Of Thorn's horses two were work horses, mates, eand asily valued at |25o. The third was a good 2-year old colt. A peculiarity of thia theft was the principal condition surrounding it: The Thorn horses were taken some time between lv a. tn. and before dark that evening. Mr. Thorn had turned them out to graze on the com mons. and when he went for them later in the day they were gone. The available indications are that the horses were driven westward from Holdman. Two Head From Charles Lute. Charles Lute, of Cold Springs, had two head of good work horses turn up missing about the time that Kerr's horses were taken, but Mr. Lute found both after a few days’ search, over on the Columbia river, nearly westward from his place. The prob abilities are that they strayed away, as hail they been taken with the Kerr horses it is unlikely that they alone could have escaped from the drove of 22 head which Kerr left, and yet none of Kerr's horses can be found. It is not likely, either, that they were discarded by the thieves who took Kerr’s horses, as they are more than ordinarily good animals. BAKER RANGE WAR. Forty Sheep Killed by Range Riders on Baldy Mountain. W. J. Murphy, sent out by Miles L<-c with his herder to the scat of the Baldy Mountains range battle, return ed today, says the Baker City Herald. He reports over 40 sheep killed and wounded and brings evidence to the positive effect that the men who attacked the sheep «amp shot at the herder to kill. Hundreds of shots were fired and 30-30 steel jacket cartridges were used in most cases. These kind of bul'ets were found in the dead and wounued - beep and in the trees and stumps about the camp.
