MADRAS WINS PRIZES
WATERMELONS CAPTURE BLUE RIBBON?
E?chl9ltj Fropi Dry Farrns J9 Flrsjt
At Pedmond Madrae Sprinter
Win Ji FooJ facea,
The irrigators did rot have
things all their own way at the
Redmond Pair, last week, as is
testified to by a couple of blue
ribbons which were brought
back from the fair by a resi
dent of this neighborhood. W.
IL Stunehocker, who took a
load of watermelons raised by
him on his ranph four miles
northeast of this place to the
Redmond fair for the purpose
of selling them, entered liis mel
ons in competition with those
grown on the irrigated lands of
the Redpiond district, and won
all of the prizes for which, he
competed. In the exhibit for
largest melon he had two en
tries, and he carried off both
first and second prizes. He
also carried off first prize for
the best three watermelons.
These were the only classes in
which he competed, and he was
quite pleased with the showing
'the melons from his dry farm
made in competition with irri
gation grown melons.
All who attended the Red
mond Pair from this neighbor
hood report that, the exhibits of
grasses and grains from the
irrigated lands were excellent
and gave some idea of the fu
ture of that district as an agri
cultural center when it should
all be under ditch. The speci
mens of wheat, oats and alfalfa
were especially good, while
specimens of sugar beets grown
(here indicate that tlie sugar
manufacturing industry may be
an important factor in the fu
ture prosperity of that locality
In addition to the blue rib
hons which Mr. Stonehocker
rook, the Madras boys carried
off the purses in tue loot races.
Ben Wilson and Tice Loucks,
Jr., of Madras, won firat and

FROM DUFUR TO BEND
Great Southern Railroad Will Be Ex
tended Up Deschutes Valley.
Surveyors will shortly com
mence cross-sectioning the pro
posed extension of the Great
Southern Railroad from Dufur
to Tygb, a distance of SO miles.
The line is in operation from
The Dalles to Dufur, SO miles,
but the plan is to push it
through to Bend, says the Port
land Telegram.
The officials of the line expect
to have the extension com
pleted next year. They report
that every warehouse on the
road ia filled to ovpr flowing with
grain, and much of it is being
piled in the open, as the facili
ties are inadequate, a propo
sition has been made that the
Oregon Portage Railway be ex
tended from the Big Eddy to a
connection with the Great
Southern, a distance of about a
mile, and this would give the
Portage Railway a line into The
Dalles, so freight could be
loaded directly aboard steam
era bound for Portland. In re
turn the Great Southern would
have the advantage of connect
ing with the portage. The
question has arisen as to the
legality of suoh operation in
virw of the fact that the state
owns the portage, and this mat
ter will have to be disposed of
before operations can be entered
into.
MURDER AND ASSAULT
TERflJfLE filjfc( (JEAR PjllNEVILLE
en JEef la Shot Ari r)stantly Killed
By Fred Shepgara', Who Then

WILL BURN HAYCREEK COAL
Cramer & Stevens, of this
place are going to Use ttaycreek
coal for fuel during the
approaching Winter, the test
which they inade.with the Hay-
creek coal recently having
proved satisfactory in every
respect. They burned enough
of it in their heating stove to be
convinced that it will answer
nicely for fuel, and they are
now malting arrangements to
have their Win.tera supply
brought over from the mines.
The coal ia said to give off an
unusual amount of heat, the
only objectionable feature to it
as a fuel being the fact that it
eaves considerable ashes.
Haycreek coal costs $3 per
ton at the mines, and even with
this tremendous charge at the
mined, it cau be delivered in
Madras now for about $7 per
ton. At this price it is. said to
be about ohS'third cheaper than
burning juniper wood at $4.GQ
pet bord, the price of wobd
rady toi ; the stove.
News came from Prineville
on Monday morning, of a. hor?
rible crime committed near that
plape at an early hour of the
morning, when a man name4
Fred Sheppard shot and inr
stantly killed Ben Zell, and
then criminallv assaulted fell's
wife. T:he details of fha
tragedy are meager, bqt the
atory as pieced out of numerous
rumors, is about as follows?
Early Monday morning Zell
and his wife were awakened
in their room by Sheppard,
who caine n through the nnr
locked door and annonnped
that he had come to kill them,
Zell began to beg for a chance
for their lives, asking that he
even be allowed to dress, and
while parleying with Sheppard
both ell and his wife man
aged to escape from the room,
Sheppard followed, filing once
at ZH and missing him as he
crossed the barnyard, and then
just as Zell readied the barn.
he fired again and struck Zell
in the back, killing hjm in,
stantly. He then carried Mrs,
Zell back to the house, wheie
he criminally assaulted her and
then threatened to kill her. She
begged for her life and Shepr
pard finally told her that h9
would not kill her if she would
swear to lay the killing of
Mr. Zell upon a German who
was sleeping at the barn,
which she promised to. do.
Once free, Mrs. Zell made her
way over to her nearest
neighbors, two miles awav, to
whom she told her horrible
experiences, and the men on
the place immediately returned
with her and captured the
murderer, who had never left
the house. Sheppard ia how
in the county jail, without bail .
The murdered man was a
brothei of. W. H. Zell, who
resides on Agency Plains, ifo
