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.

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.

with age, settled themselves comfort
ably under the ateel bridge on Portland
heights last night and prepared to sleep.
Seeing their fires In the distance. Po
liceman Taylor swooped down upon
them and sent both to Jail. They were
released by Municipal Judge Hogue thla
morning after promising to avoid viola

"I thought we had a perfect right to
build fire and sleep a long a we dis
turbed no one." aald Watklna, address
inn Judge Hogue and Deputy City At

They were Informed that within the
oorporate limit of the city they cannot
build fire or go to sleep out of doors,
without laying themselves liable to ar
rest and prosecution.
Both prisoners have no home. They
have been unfortunate In life and In old
age have no place but the county farm
to go for ahelter. Rather than remain
there, they determined to live out of
