A. T. Kclliher, a w-ealthy Chicago
capitalist who has handled thousands of
acres of Oregon public lands, was on last
Thursday found guilty of forging a signa
ture to an assignment of a certificate of
sale of state school lands. The act of
writing the signature was not chargtd
against Kelliher, but it was charged that
he had had H. H. Turner wri'e the name,
and. he was therefore indicted as a princi
pal in tin commission of the crime.
There is said to be already
considerable snow in the Blue
Mountains, and where the road
between Prineville and Mitchell
crosses the mqun tains there is
fully six feet of snow on a level.
