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. Shortly af

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

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

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.

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

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.
