THE GRftHT COUHTY K,
iflu.Hu nl 7, JSOO.
There is n imnuiuo case of lop
rosy in New York City. The vic
tim ift Mnuucl Ciarnutiii, 20 yearn
old, of a nolilo family in Spain,
who lias bcon attending a military
academy at ('hector, I'onn. For n
week lie lias been stopping nt n
Spanish hoarding home making
liable to his coutngoous diseaso nu
merous boarders.
Tl. is mulm-aloftd it svndicuto of
wealty men have purchased 20,000
acres of ground from the Mexican
government, not a hundred miles
from the city of Mexico, in one of
the may fertile valley that abound
in that portion of the country, and
intend to settle it with negroes
from the United States. The gov
ernment has promised protection
from the natives and lias given
other guarantees.
It has been ascertained that, al
though only S700.000 worth or
property belonging to the Mormon
ehureli was found by the United
States marshal in Utah when in
Htrueted to seize all .Mormon funds
from five to eight milieu dollars of
Mormon capital is invested in San
I'Vaneisco and other California ci
tics. This money has bcon invest
ed in real estate and manufactur
ing enterprises under the iiauia of
individuals who have made invest
ments not apparently for the
church, but for themselves. This
method has bcon adopted with the
hope that the United States gov
eminent would find no trace of the
money.
Ctuilty men are often shielded
by the extremely technical rulings
nflowable under the law. Justice
may be evaded by the finding of a
legal Haw in the form of the accu
sation, even though the criminal
may be plainly guilty. This has
led certain state legislatures to do
elaru an indictment to be stijliciunt
which 'contains a statement of the
acts constituting the offense in or
dinary and concise language and in
Mich n manner as to enable a per
son of common understanding to
sen what is intended." We give two
extremely technical rulings: An
indictment charged that the accus
ed murdered the deceased with a
double-barrelled shotgun loaded
with gun-powder and leaden bid.
lots. The proof showed that the
accused shot his victim to death
with a double-barrelled shotgun
under circumstances that made it a
cold-blooded Tnurder, and the jury
convicted the defendant, lint th'e
Supreme Court quashed the con
viction and sot the defendant free
on the ground that the indictment
did not inform the defendant how
liu used tlio shotgun to murder his
victim, "whether it was used as a
lirearm or a bludgeon, or to fright
en him to death with it." Preced
ents can bo found to support the
decision. In another case the de
fendant was convicted of murder
by stabbing his victim to death
"in the loft bronst," alid tile court
set the defendant free because the
word "breast" was spelled "brot"
in the indictment.
Ochoco Koviow: This season
(Jrook county is again suffering
from theeifocts of an old and oft-complaiucd-of
nuisance; that is,
si loop from adjoining counties eat
ing her range. Of course the
damage done by thoso intruders
this season is not so great as it has
boon in the past, owing to the lim
ited number of stock in the coun
ty the result of last winter -but
so soon as stock shall have accu
iniilatcd to the number there was
a year ago, the range of this coun
ty will only bo sullicieut to sustain
the stock owned here, and our peo
ple should look toward the future
and endeavor to lay a foundation
for self-protection", by getting a
law pasted which will protect them
in the future, when protection will
be necessary. The bill introduced
in the last legislature by Represen
tative Williamson would bo sutli
oieut if enacted, but it is claimed
such a law would not be constitu
tional. If this is true, then let
us hfcvo a constitutional amend
ment that will admit such a law,
This is a matt r in which riot only
(Jrook li.it overy county in the
state that has mountain range is
interested in, and a measure that
will force stock to bo ranged in
the county in which they are own
cd and taxed, bhonld meet the ap
proval of all such counties. Any
way Crook is deeply interested in
this matter, and her representative
in the legislature can do no bettor
service than labor to the end that
no droves of sheep shall be allow- j
ed to become roaming marauders,
permitted to roam at will and feed
wherever they may lind grass to
eat.
Shortly after noon the other day
according to report, a meteor fell
with a ternlliu explosion on a farm
near Washington, Kan., twittering
great quantities of rock in every
direction. One piece was iuibcu-
ded in the ground to the depth of
several feet. The rock was of a
grayish color and intensely llot
when found. The shock was felt
for miles around, many people
thinking it was an earthquake.
The census of Washington will
show a K)puation of JW.'.OOO,
while the loturns in Oregon arc
not cxticcted to give more than
12.H0,0(H). Last general election
Washington cast 58, 1 l.'t votes and
June last Oregon cast 715,400
votes. According to the voting
strength if Washington has iKJ.'i,
000 jMople, Oregon should have
110,000. There is something rad
ically wiong with Mr. Kelly's
census and it would not be a bad
idea to retake the whole statu; and
still Railroad .Mail Superintendent
Wilder says Washington's mail
service has" increased H00 per cunt,
in live years, and that of Oregon
only fOO per. cent. - Portland
World.
I'rlnevlllo News: This week
wo were shown tlio nowly patented
sheep shearing machine invented
by Mr. W m. I ron. Like all oth
er useful inventions, it is a simple
contrivAiicc that will no doubt
provo its utility in a thoroughly
practical test. "The opinions ex
pressed by some as regards its
availibility to successfully perform
the work for which it is 'intended
are quite unreasonable, given, as
they are, without a proper study
of tlio real merits of tlio device.
This, however, is nothing now.
Railroads were opposed,) on know,
because they might frighten the
cows and make them "hold up
their milk." Vessels would "scare
the linhes," telegraph wires would
"kill the birds," iron jilows would
"poison the soil," matches were
"a wicked and dangerous inven
tiou," and this sheep idicaring ma
chine might surprise the sheep
with its noisy rapidity in clipping
olf his llecco to quickly anil so of
fectivoly, anil ponihly prevent his
growing any more after he has at
tained the age of four years.
