In consequence of a blunder in the U.
S. Land office, made years ago, Fred C.
Walton and J. H. Reed each claim the
same piece of land near Moro. Fred has
cultivated it ; when he began harvesting
last week Reed claimed the crop. Before
shooting was done they submitted the
case to arbitration, and the -arbitrators,
Judge Meader, Wm. . Walker, and Sam
McDonald, decided that Reed should
have one-third of the crop. The govern
ment ought to be compelled to pay heavy
damages for the trouble caused in such
cases. Moro Observer.
TOO MUCH MONEY.
Story that the O'Nell Boys Fall
to Several Millions.
Two Cases Settled.
Heir
Mr, John Booth, while riding on a
train a few days ago, engaged in conver
sation with a Catholic priest, who, ac
according to Booth, lived at Foesil. The
priest, learning he was from- The Dalles,
told him of the good fortune of two of its
residents, who fall heir to $30,000,000
each. An immense p'operty in Ireland,
which had been in litigation for fifty
years has finally been settled by the
courts. The estate comprises a whole
county and is valued at many million
pounds. It is the Roderick O'Neil estate
which the priest " says is to be divided,
among six O'Neils who will each receive
six million pounds. Two he said lived
in The Dalles, two in Seattle and two in
Sacramento. . If the priest's story is true,
the O'Neils of The Dalles meant, may
be Will and John O'Neil. No other
O'Neils are known.
Both are now absent from the city and
and their family history could not be
learned. Jobn O'Niel is at present in
the Greenhorn district near Canyon City,
where he went over a week ago. Wm
O'Neil is working at Seufert's cannery.
Mrs. O'Neil is also away from home to
day. Mrs. Johns, her mother, knew but
little about the family history of her son-in-law,
merely knowing that the boys'
father, and believing that the boys'
grandfather was born in America. .
The story can scarcely be true. Sixty
million dollars is too much money to fall
into The Dalles at one drop. One or
two hundred thousand dollars might
have been credited, but the larger
amount well hardly.
If the Cows Would Eat the Thistles.
The marshal's order that the cows
shall be in and the thistles out works
adversely, for the cows are out and the
thistles in. The most persistent nuis
ance is the town cow, an animal that
soon becomes intelligent enough to pick
the most intricate lock and onen all
kinds of gates. The time . between
turning her out by the owner and being
picked up by the herder is sufficient for
her to accomplish a good deal bf mis
chief, if the cow could be taught to
eat the thistles, a vexed problem would
be solved, but even if taueht. a cow's
perverse nature would not admit of her
dotag anything beneficial to the human
race further than supplying that verv
useful and general household recessitv
the lacteal fluid.
"Things are not what they seem J
The hot wind of yesterday was an east
wind, but came in from the west. The
same hot, withering . blasts which left
us gasping for breath passed over us in
the opper air a short time before,.- The
current was deflected upon striking the
mountains west of us, and turned down
ward and in an opposite direction,
Many people wondered why the usually
refreshing Dreeze irom the west was bo
debilitating. It was an east wind In
disguise. . .
Stockmen Reported Killed.
Word bas just been received from
Canyon City, says the Baker City Dem
ocrat, of a fight between the cattlemen
of the Izee country and the sheepmen of
Crook county, in which two sheepmen
and one cattleman were killed. The
particulars of the . fight were not re
ceived, farther than that it was a con
flict over the range of . the Sontb Fork
country. ,' Another messenger brings the
news that' it was the same sheepmen
that bad their wagons and provisions
destroyed over there several : weeks ago.
Judge Bradebaw made two decrees
yesterday. Tbev were in the cases of
W. S. Meyers vs. Godfrey and J. M.
,McCIure vs. H. S. Davidson.
"former eaue UHtTone where Meyers
sued Godfrey lor half the value of eome
partition fences, of which Godfrey had
the benefit for a number of years.
Godfrey was summoned to appear as a
defendant a certain ' Saturday. He
failed to appear, afterwards asserting
the summons read the Monday follow
ing. Thereupon Godfrey failing to ap
pear and answer, Meyers' attorneys got
out an execution, through default. At
tempting to sell some of Godfrey's prop
erty upon it, he issued an injunction
and the case decided yesterday was on
the injunction. The court decreed that
the injunction be dissolved and the ex
ecution mav therefore be issued.
The other case is that of J. M. Mc-
Clure vb. H. S. Davidson. Davidson
sued McClure on an account for $50,
and got judgment by a jury trial before
Justice of the Peace Chandler at Wa-
mic. It appears the, trial was irregular
from the decree of the fcourt, Judge
Bradebaw yesterday reversing the action
of the lower court.

Mr. Schanno Returns.
Mr. Emile Schamno has returned from
a recent tripNhrough Sherman county
and the John Say country. ' He finds
the grain considerably damaged by the
hot winds in Sherman county. In the
Jobn Day valley there are fine crops
of alfalfa hay. The valley is also a
splendid natural fruit country. Mr,
Schanno tells of an apricot tree on ' Mr.
Hilton's place which is four feet through'
at the base and thirty feet high.. All
kinds of fruit trees are very large and
thrifty. The only drawback to the coun
try is its lack of railroad facilities, other
wise frnit raising would be more gener
ally followed.
