C. & m A ROBINSON GENERAL MERCHANTS MADRAS, OREGON Ex-Convlct Whom Ho Exposed At tempts Assassination Of Firor ecutor In California Graft Cases. Francis J. Ilency, famous pYosecutor of the Oregon land frauds) and Who is now engaged in tho prosecution" '6f the graft cases in San Francisco, Was shot down in the court room in that city last Friday afternoon while attending court and conducting the case against Abra ham Ituef, the fo'r'mcV b'6ss of the city. The shooting was done by Morris Haas, an ex-convict whose record Mr. Heney liad exposed When the former attempted to qualify as a -Juror in the graft case. The bullet, tired from n pistol not over a foot and a half from Mt.UeheyjB head', passed through the head but below the brain cavity, and the latest reports are that Mr. Heney will recover. Tho shooting occurred during a recess in the Reuf trial, Mr. Heney was seat ed at his counsel table In the court room, when the would-be 'Assassin stepped quickly forward, and before he could be prevented by the guards, fired the shot which nearly ended Mr. He ney 's life. Haas was immediately siezed and over-powered before he had an op' portunity to fire again, and later under strong guard was VeVnoVed t'6 'the jail. Mr. iieiiey's wound Wis iVt hWt thought to bo fatal, but later examinations showed that lite bullet had passed be low tho brain 'cavity, and the recovery of tho noted prosecutor is confidently expected. HAAS COMMITS SUICIDE ' Morris Haas, who fired the slio't at Mr. Heney, committed suicide by sho'ot- inghiniself throilgh the head next morn ing while confined ill jail. The pistol witli Which he shot himself was a single ahot derringer, Which he is believed to have concealed in Ills shoe.

OREGON TRUnK SuR- VEYORS MOVE CAMP cent grade, and nothing over a 0 degree curve, although some heavy work will be neccsBary. Tho Oregon Trunk Line leaves tho Deschutes canyon at Willow creek. While tho Harrimah lino comes out at Trout creek) both following down the Deschutes below Trout creek, all though lliey tire on opposite Bides-of the river for a greater portion of the dis4 tattce. A comparison of the relative merits of the two lines would be impos sible Without a Btudy and comparison of the maps and engineering data of the two surveys, but it 1b generally bplleVed that the Oregon Trunk Line has the choice of routes in having selected the Willow creek pass otit of thtftfJeschutes canyom With the completion of the line to Aladras", sonic definite announcement regarding construction WOrk should be forthcoming before a great while. It is reported that there is still some work to be 'finished up near tho mouth Of the river, which work will doubtless be compTel'ed and J.he estimates submitted as to the cost of the entire line by the present ideation) before any definit . M .. I I 111 i I action is taken or any announcement is made regarding the commencement of construction. That this announcement will not be long delayed is the general belief of all who haVe kept in touch witli recent developments in the railroad sit uation in Central Oregon, DRILL PUNGHES BOT TOM OUT OF WELL Drilling Was continued after water Was found in the well oh Mrs D. Wr. Adams' hotnestead South of town; with the lesult that the drill penetrated the stratum of rdck which held the Water, and the entire supply has beeh lost. No other explanation has bee'n offered of the disappearance of the water in the welli Which Was plentiful at 100 feet. and disappeared entirely when the drill had cone down a few feet lower. Tho wehls noW tfoWh over ICO feet and there no Waten but drilling will be co'ntii'iWed Vintil it is found. The Well was being drilled deeper) at- ter water was struck) for the purpose of increasing the capacity of the well. The drill passed through 10 or 12 feet of gravel and then evidently broke through u crevice) Which allowed the water to escape as rapidly as it was supplied by the water-bear'i'hg stratliln. It is not known to what depth the well will have to be sunk before another supply of wa ter will be found. PAYS 2500 FOR RIGHT- OF-WAY OVER RANCH fiumoV That Willis V. Brown Has Sold RlahtOfiWay To The Harri man Line. The rebort Wan current IioVo -VeatcnliiV alt prosccu-ik. V. ,-A.U. ttr Wi,s. ,; '.v,u Ji lion, The prosecution Is reported td a Z. '.SZ 7, r;" " right-of-way across his ranch on the Deschutes river) the consideration being $2500. Tho. report lias not been con firmed hut is generally believed, aa it comes from n reliable source and it is known that l egot'iatians were pending between Mr. "Brown and the right-of-way agent of the Harriman line. The Brown ranch, located several miles below the mouth of Trout creek on the Deschutes river, is reputed to be one of tho most attractive ranches on the river, and it Is known that Mr. Brown was very much nverse to having the railroad build across his property in tho way tli line was located. Failure on his part to grant a right-of-way) however, would only have resulted in tho bringing of a condemnation suit by' the railroad company, ami so the na aumptlou is that an amicable settletiitnt! of the damages was arrived at between' thti "parties in interest) as being the best way out of it. It is not known whether any deal has been closed between Mr. Brown and tho Oregon Trunk Lino peoplo for n right of-way for tho latter lino over his land, although it is known that tho survey for tho Oregon Trunk Lino also crosses tho Brown ranch. Vroiu tho fact) however, that the OrcRon Trunk people pecureu practically all of their right-of-way sev eral nionuiH'agO) it may bo assumed that they hnvo some understanding with Mr. Brown. Tho Oregon Trunk Lino bought 05 per cent of ita xlght-pf-way along tho Deschutes, and it is A. matter of common knowledge that jftoy paid: ono man Charley U'Ben thVr-.m fl'f' t$2600 for u right-of-way across, his river rauc't. Location Of Lino Completed From Madras To Mouth Of Dos chutes River. Tho party of Oregon Trunk Lino sur veyors under F. Crane, who liavo been camped near tho Warmspring ferry on the Deschutes, finished up their work on this end of tho lino last Thursday and on Friday moved camp. Tho piirty was ke"pt intact and moved doWn tho rlvor, eo it is assumed that other work awaits them near the mouth of the riven Mr Crane and tho draftsman, T. iSimp, were in town Friilay afternoon', on their way out to the railroad. Tho completion of tho work on this end of tho lino by Mr. Crane and his party, who wero making a location of tho lino from Madras down Willow creek and then down the Desu'mtes river to connect With tho party under T, N. Hun ford'. practicaOy completes the location of tho Oregon Trunk Lino be tween the mouth of tho Deschutes and Madras. Mr. Hanford atul his party located tho lino tip tho Deschutes from tho mouth of Whltu river, and tho party under Mr. Crane, beginning the location at Madras, lnrat(eU down the river until they Hindu H. connection with tho Han ford party a short distance above the mouth of Trout ijreoj; With tho com pletion of tho work th'ero, Mr. Hanford and hta party also broke camp ailU have moved down tho rlVorv It is generally understood that the Oregon Trunk Lino has secured a fino line Into tills country by the Deschutes V'J i " THREE LINES OVER WILLOW GREEK BAStW The Harriman. patty of engineers un der H. J. Roberta) Whd lmvo been campc cd at ModraB for several weeks, have? located throb lineji across Willow Creeljj flat in the Vicinity Of toWn. Ono of these lines follows tho range of hills East of town nhd crosses Willow creek near the dam on A. S. Phillips' place. The second follows on up the grade to the top of Agency Plains, after it crosses the divide Northeast df Madras, and crosses oVet Willow crtfek at the lop of the hill at the bead pf tho canyon") jnst West of tho t'6Wnste. This crossing over Willow creek w'ould be 200 feet' higher than Madras and would necetftP tate a high bridge probably 6Cf() (cot long. The third lino crosses the flat near the Madras mill, following practP cally the old Culumbia Southern Exten-. sion survey. This line has just beeA located) ahd is understood to be, the one most likely to tie followed when the Harriman lints is built. It is understood that this line gfets down to the flat witli not to exceed a 1.3 per cent grade, ami that the line out 6h the South sido'ol the flat .will not fiXc'eell 1.2 per cent. Mr. Roberts' party completed the location to Madras Monday and are now locating 6oithi by Way of Trail Cross ing. They Will probably move camp the last of the week. ITEMS FROM tiUB EXCHANGES Early Nafho O'f Deschutes The old Indian nanie 'of the tie'schutes was Tawah-na-hi'ooks. It received its present name from the early French name from tho French voyageurs, who plied the Columbia river in their ba teaux going from the upper country to points along the Columbia. They were lur hunters and belonged to the North west cotri'pahy. Lewis and Clark called the Deschutes by the 'old Indian name. Before they reaclnxi the Vaplds of the Columbia at Celilo the explorers heard from the In dians of the "(Sreat Falls, Where all the water of the Columbia goes leaping .over the break in the basalt to depths below.
