LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
The Frosts Have Scarcely Injured the
Fruit Crop.
Mr. E. Schanno, the prominent fruit
grower and member of the state board
of horticulture, has taken the pains to
personally investigate the reports of in
jury to the fruit crop by the frosts in
various parts of the county, with very
encouraging results.
He finds nothing hurt at Hosier but
the strawberries. Of these about 20 rer
cent of the crop is lost. There will be a
full crop of cherries and peaches.
Hood River fruit trees are not iniured
and only about 30 per cent of the straw-
Derry crop in places.
He went un Mill creek fonr miles and
fonud no damage done until he reached

only are damaged, and these but slightly.
At Dry Hollbw nothing is affected ex
cept an occasional hill ol grapes.
' No injury whatever has occurred at 3
Mile. The Sanders and Creighton farms
will yield full crops.
Taken all in all, the prospects at this
time were never better for a bountiful
crop.
. A Mohave Snperstitlou;
The Mohave Indians of the far' west
have one curious buperstition that is
supposed to be of comparatively recent
origin. They refuse to eat the flesh of
the beaver, and declare that whoso
cats beaver's flesh will have a swollen
neck. An agent who has lived, for
some time among the Mohaves conjec
tures that some of the Indians must
have eaten the flesh of beavers poi
soned for their skins, and died with
swollen necks. The memory has been
handed down through the tribe', and
no Mohave eats beaver's flesh since
that day. .

FOR. STEALING HORSES.
The Charges Against Marshal Maloney
and Charles Snelliug.
A warrant was sworn out yesterday
for- the arrest of .Dan Maloney and
Charles Snelling by ' Michael Doyle, for
the larceny of two geldings on or about
the 5th of May.
The events of last Wednesday night,
which have been the talk of the streets
since that time, are thus described by
Mr. George Joles, who - acting with
Deputy Sheriff Phirman, found. Maloney
and Snelling with the horses in ques
tion late Wednesday night :
At 7 o'clock a party rode up in front
of Joles, Collins & Co.'s general mer
chandise store and called out Mr. Geo.
Joles, Baying' he had discovered where
Doyle's horses were, -which had been
missing since the Saturday night prev
ious. One of the horses belonged to
Mr. Adam Kaufman of this city, and to
his bouse Mr. Joles first went. He found
that Kaufman had gone to the Locks to
work, and Joles then went to see Deputy
Sheriff Phirman, to whom he told what
had been said to him. Phirman replied
that he had to wait for the boat, but
-would meet Joles at his (Phirman's)
house at 8 o'clock:.
They met, as per appointment, and,
each being armed with a shotgun, im
mediately proceeded on foot to the place
told Mr. Joles where the horses were, at
the city graveyard. Arrived there about
8 :30 o'clock. The horses came up to the
fence. The deputies looked about for a
place to conceal themselves and await
events. They jumped the fence and hirl
about twenty feet distant in some brush,
ana separated by a fence from " the
horses, who were in a .small encloonra
adjoining the graveyard proper. After
a nail Hour, at Phirman's suggestion,
they moved up to the fence, and within
about twenty feet of the horses. About
10 o'clock, said Mr. Joles; he heard a
horse snort, and a few minutes later a
single horseman rode np. - He looked
around for about half a minute; every
thing was.perfectly ouiet. He then not
off the horse and proceeded to lay ithe
fence down very carefully, and makine
scarcely any noise. After tearing it
away clear, he stood at the gap thus
made for about ten minutes. Mr. Joins
then heard another noise, like that made
by a moving vehicle, then all was quiet
again. . Soon after another horn rm
galloping toward them, and slowed down
to a waiK as be neared the man at the
fence. The first arrival handed the
reins of his horse to the new-comer and
went in the enclosure after the Doyle
horses. He caught them, and just as
he was coming out the gate. Phirman
and Joles arose and Phirman said :
"Hold on, boys; don't you move.
Who are you?" ,
He instructed Joles to cover the two
merf while he leaped the fence, and per-
tormed a like service for Joles when both
neared the two men. Phirman then
recognized Maloney and asked: :
"Who is that with you?'' V-
"My partner."; ' . . '
Bv this time the officer was nMir tVia
two men and recognized Snelling'. " He
said : "Hello.'ii that you, Snelling,", to
which that party assented. " i
At.-; sight of Joles;- .Maloney said :
Hello,rJ6les : are' you out here herding
the graveyard?'" ' . f ' -i .
Phirman then ' said : !Thn
you have here are stolen and belong" to
Mike iioyle. v ' Ari ' -?-.vv..t..
"Who's Doyle?" said Malonev. "I cot
these- horseB from an Indian, and gave ;
him $10 and three cay uses for them."
" "It makes no difference," said the
deputy. ?"They are stolen horses and I
will have to take them." ' " ? '

any Way.". - "
' "That is your loss.. The horses are
stolen property and must be returned to
the owner wherever found."
"I bought the horses from an Indian
named Joe, and he lives at Hood River
"Well, we'll take the horses anyhow
"I guess we had better put the fence
up before we leave," said Maloney.
He then invited Phirman and Joles,
as they had guns with them, to go with
him to look up some horses he claimed
to' have bought some months ago of
Louis Davenport of Mosier. Phirman
inquired where they were. Maloney
replied, "In the mauntains, and I want
to get them." Nothing further, was said
on that topic.
Phirman then gave the stolen horses
to Joles to lead to their barn, and the
latter left the trio fixing up the fence.
- Deputy Ptiiriuan was approached by a
reporter Thursday and Friday, but re
fused to say anything for publication.
- Maloney and Snelling, as stated in the
beginning of this report, were arrested
yesterday (Friday) afternoon.' Maloney
furnished the required bonds, and Snell
ing, failing to do bo, was incarcerated. in
the county jail. At 11 o'clock p. m. he
was given his liberty, the necessary
bonds being found. '
"'. HlLOMkT'8 STATEMENT.
Marshal Dau Maloney was seen this
afternoon by a reporter and authorized
the following statement:
On Monday, the 7ih, saw an Indian
called "Indian Jack" from Hood River,
between 11 and 1 o'clock, and I traded
him three ponies and $10 for two horses
he had. He wanted $15 and I jewed
him down to $10. I only had $8 and
borrowed $2 from Sterling to make up
the amount. The two horses were a
work horse and a saddle horse. . I then
put the horses in ' the pound and gave
the Indian $3 toclip the work horse, and
roach the other's mane and clip his tail.
Went down in the evening and saddled
up the roan boree and went up Mill
creek on to Government flat, looking for
two mares. "Came back Tuesday about
noon, and . staked the horse out on the
hill by the city graveyard. : Wednesday
noon went up and got him and rode him
througn the old tiHrrison up Mill creek
as far Vs opposite Denton's ranch, then
back again through the garrison and
turned him looee in ih city " graveyard.
In the evening (Wednesday) started up
there about 8 o'clock, arrived there no
later than 9 o'clock, it was about 8:30,
and there we got held up.' "After a talk
the deputy sheriff gave the horses to
Joles and told him tu take them to his
stable, 'and I am nt on the transaction
the three Monies, f 10 and the $3 I gave
the Indians for clipping the horses. ..;", '-
