CRISIS IN RANGE WAR IS REACHED AS TO FASTCstAOB BT CATTC.H .is: AJTS BX.AUQ or stock roi- xewa. (Special Dlspatcb to The Journal.) Prlnevtlle. Or., Aug. 37. With week passed since the slaughter or scatter lng of 1,000 head of sheep belonging to Morrow A Keenan at Cold Springs, and time given for a sober discussion of the stock situation in Crook county, it la generally conceded that the range trou ble haa reached a dangerous crisis. Business men, and especially the stock owners, stand appalled at the wanton butchery which 10 daya ago stirred the county from on end to the other. A second clash of the sheep and cattle In terest 1 hourly expected, and It I feared that with further depredations loaaea of life will be recorded. It I stated by those In a position to appreciate the intense feeling existent that i the sheepmen will not oontent themaelvea with a failure to avenge themaelves of thla last slaughter of their stock. The wholesale killing which occurred on the afternoon of July 19 waa the culmination of the rang difficulties which have kept thla county tn a heated state for several montha past. It has been thought at different ttmea that matter had been amicably adjusted Sheep and cattle men met several month ago, when the summer ranging season opened and the dead Unas were fixed. Agreements, however, which had been made were broken, and this fact led to other meeting for satis factory settlement. The laat time when the representa tives of the Antelope Woolgrowers as soclatlon met the cattlemen of southern Crook county to decide upon the range territory to be used by each In the Blue mountains it waa firmly believed that the friction between these two conflict ing Interests had been permanently al layed. Thla was during th early part of July. Less than a week after the confer ence. letter was received by president H. C. Rboper of the Antelope Woolgrow ers' association which completely dls- peuea oil mougms ei a peacerui rang ing season. The text of the letter, which waa dated at Prlneville, waa aa follow: 'Dear Sir: Tou will please notify the members of your association that the contracting parties in the agreement made at Howard last Tuesday represent only a small part of those who are en titled to range privileges which conflict In lntereat with that agreement, and that any attempt to follow out the agreement on the part of your members wno own sheep will result In a contest for range which will not be pleasant If any of your members are unwise enough to presume upon the atrength of the agreement mentioned they must take the consequences. (Signed) "HORSE HEAVEN. CROOKED RIVER AND BEAVER STOCKMEN. P. S. Perhaps you have never real ised that the reward offered by your as sociation make It rather hard on your sheepherdera and camptendera, It la not our purpose to be testified against no matter what reward and Inducements are offered, and the offering of money rewards simply makes your employes; xlstenee In Crook county the more strenuous. You will understand what we mean." tetter Causes Consternation. This letter caused consternation among the members of the Antelope Woolgrowers association, and waa dl rectly the cause of all herders who left with their bunds for Crook county to go Into the disputed district heavily armed. So far those In charge of foreign herds have been given no opportunity to stand In defense of either their lives or their stock, but It Is hot expected that th season will close free from the chron lcllng of another bloody record, and that this blow will be directed toward me sheep from other counties. Contrary to . all expectations, the laughter of 10 daya ago waa made against horn sheepmen. Morrow & Keenan own and range 12,000 head, and they stoutly maintain that th band which was killed waa ranging on sheep territory and that It was driven off of that district on to cattle grounds before the slaughter commenced. It la thla fact, coupled with the feel ing that even home aheepmen are not safe with their property even in sec tions which have been agreed upon, that haa stirred this county more deeply than any event which has happened In years. It can be readily seen that this phase of the matter rendera the situation more trying and more difficult of so lution. Civil authority has been balked and the ordeal for supremacy muat be fought out on Intractable grounds under the rulea dictated by conflicting Inter eats. Neither the sheepmen nor the cattle owners have loat time during the past few months in gathering their strength for the final encounters. Anonymous letters from both side have been sent broadcast throughout the stock district These letters, aa a rule, have defined the stands taken by the different stock-own ers and threats were carried agslnst any person encroaching upon the territory claimed aa their own. The letters show plainly that the ranging districts of the stockmen of Crook county are directly opposed to each other, and it 1 pre sumed that the recent slaughter may have resulted from a trespass upon grounds claimed personally by the cat tlemen even In the face of the agree ments made some time ago when the ranging lines were fixed. As a reault of th recent trouble Crook county will watch with Intense In terest the next move to be made. That other depredations are Imminent la be yond dispute, a fact born out by th almost uncontrollable feeling which la everywhere apparent Stockmen In every district are arming their herders and the time I drawing near when an other alaughter of a great magnitude aa th last will be recorded.

LIOUOR-MOUPMIMt HABITS PERMANErf nrnmaavf TOU WU esATKULAM STRONG' ATTACK ON LOCAL OPTION COMPLAIST or uw is ro OmClALS WILL NOT DETEWD THE MEASURE BUT DISTaUOT ATTORNEY MAT. Whether or not the attack made on the local option law through the courta by Henry Wetnhard. the brewer, la to meet with defense now depends entirely on District Attorney Msnnlng. County Judge Webster and County Commissioners Barnea and Lightner have "passed the mstter up" to that of flclal. He was sent a oopy of the com plaint and summons served on the board this morning, accompanied by notifica tion that as district attorney he would be expected to defend the law. ' The commissioners do not Intend to go down into their own pockets and pro3 duce the, money necessary to put up a conteat to the suit Nor, on the other hand, do they believe they would be warranted In expending; county funds In making such fight Many reasons are urged gainst tha constitutionality of the law In the com plaint filed yeaterday afternoon by Mr, Wetnhard. One of th strongest Is that the bill which became the law was not submitted to the governor for hi ap proval, was not signed by him. was not returned with his objections nor filed by him In the office of tb ecretary of state. It la further claimed that th law waa not legally submitted to the electors be cause the petition for Its submission waa not signed by eight per cent nf those exercising the franchise. The as sertion la alao made that th law con fer an unlawful delegation of legisla tive authority on the county court; that th title doe not give notlc that It shall be unlawful to sell liquor; that It unlawfully attempta to prohibit th sale of liquor on the prescription of a phy sician not engaged in practice, illegally delegatea the problem of prohibition tn precincts and provldea for Illegal search warrants and rules of evidence. One objection, that the initiative and referendum act la contrary to the fed eral constitution, was given publicity In The Journal through th statement of one of the Interested lawyer some time ago. BREWER WILL NOT GIVE SCHOOL STEAM No steam will be furnished Atkinson school by the Welnhard brewery. H. Welnhard has withdrawn his proposition submitted to the city school board some time ago to furnish all the ateam from the brewery necessary for heating the building. He atated that ha was willing to contribute chis to the school and all that waa necessary waa to have ateam pipe laid to connect the two buildings. Bids for Installing a heating plant In this school had already been received by the school board, but, as they had sn opportunity to secure nteam for noth ing, they decided to postpone the award ing of the contracts. It was decided to Interview Mr. Welnhard end see if he would agree to sign contra ot to allow the school house the use of the steam free of charge for five year. After consultation with his engineers Mr. Welnhard decided that It would be Impracticable to sign an agreement to that effect and now he haa also arrived at the conclusion that It la better to withdraw his offer altogether. Th new heating plant for the Atkin son school will now have to be Installed and the contract win In all probability be let at the next meeting of the board of director.
