JURY DECIDES HE DID NOT
SHOOT AT PENLAND.
Evidence Not Strong Enough and Ac
cused's Past Standing Had Much
Weight With the Twelve Men In
Whose Hands His Fate Hung,
E. N. I.eRoy was exonerated from
the charge of shooting at Clarence
Penlantl by a jury in the district court
last night. The case occupied the at
tention of the court from earlv In
the morning to late in the afternocfn,
when it went to the Jury. After be
Ing out less than two hours, the jury
announced mat it was ready to return
its verdict, which was for acquittal.
The history of this case is quite
well known. Uist summer Clarence
Penland was at the home of Mr. Ma
thlcs, ln the lower end of town, and
ho and a young lady were sitting in
the ynrd. It was warm weather and
they were enjoying the night breezes.
Someone came along and walked In
to the yard and was slipping toward
the chicken house. Young Penland
stopped In front of the fellow and
atked him where ho was going. Tho
reply was: "Look out, young man;
you will get hurt." Tho follow back
ed out at the gate and young Pen
land followed Into tho street. After
getting some distance away the flee
ing figure turned and fired back at
him with the result that the ball
barely missed him and came close to
the young lady.
Penland was well acquainted with
LeRoy and ho was positive that he
recognized his voice. The matter
was allowed to stand, however, for
several days before any arrest was
made and In tho meantime the ofllcers
were trying to locate the right man.
Penland and Policeman Fee got Le
Roy in Penland's room and secured
from him what they termed so near
confession that he was arrested
and bound over by tho justice ou the
evidence. When It came into court,
howevei" and the jury heard the evi
dence, it "decided that there was a
mistake and It could not convict on
tho evidence produced.
Many witnessses were introduced
to show that LeRoy's character had
always been of the best and that he
had never been under suspicion of
crime before. His good standing in
the town whore he has lived for the
past several years and the fact that
the evidence was only one man's
word against another and It being
after dark when the thing occurred
made the jury give LeRoy the best
or the doubt.

E. D. BOYD, HI Court Street
Oregon, According to Investigation
is Safe For Artesian Water.
Professor Israel C. Russell of tho
United States geological survey has
issued a preliminary report, bearing
date of September 20, on the artesian
basins of Southern Idaho and Oregon,
which must prove of great interest to
people residing in these fortunate
districts. An extract from the report
kindly furnished by State Engineer
Ross follows:
Four very promising artesian ba
sins were discovered, one of them,
however, being the westward exten
sion of the Snake river basin, which
was examined in part last summer.
The artesian basins referred to are
as follows:
First (The Snake river artesian
basin, which begins on tho east near
Glen's Ferry, extends westward b
yond the Oregon-Idaho boundary and
reaches well into Oregon. The north
ern portion of this basin Professor
Russell did not examine, but it prob
ably embraces the region southwest
of Huntington in Willow Creek val
ley. Several wells were put ftown in
this basin last summer and fall with
tho hope of obtaining petroleum, aud
nil but one resulted in a surface flow
of water. The basin below the arte
sian head Is something like 130 miles
long and embraces all the land In the
Snake river valley between Glenn's
Ferry and Huntington and in the low
r portion of the Owyheo and Mai

heur river valleys, which Is below tho
2500-foot contour. The artesian head
is perhaps higher than here mention
ed, but of this Professor Russell is
not prepared to make a definite state
ment at present. Judging from tho
data in hand, flowing water should
be obtained at Nampa, Caldwell, etc.,
In the Doisc valley. The total area
over which it is reasonable to expect
that flowing water can be had is not
less than 700 square miles.
Second The Otis valley artesian
basin embraces the valley of that
name in Oregon, where the conditions
are such as to justify the hope that
flowing water can be had over an
area of some 50 or CO square, miles.
Third The Harney basin embraces
the country about Harney and Mal
heur lakes, and is by far the largest
and most important basin dlscoverei.
Its outer rim measures something
like 100 miles from northwest to
southeast and 50 to 60 miles from
northeast to southwest. The area be
low the artesian head embraces prac
tically all the flat lands below the
level of Burns and Harney and In
cludes not less than 1C00 square
miles, a part of which, however, is
occupied by Harney and Malheur
lakes and the adjacent swamps.
Fourth The White Horse artesian
basin is situated in Eastern 'Orcgoi
to the east of Stein's mountain and,
as shown by the structure and by
warm springs, will certainly yield
flowing wells. The area below the ar
tesian head is by estimate 100 square
miles.
Each of the basins referred to is
well worthy of development, as in
each case there are large bodies of
fine land. The total area, roughly
estimated, of the four basins where
artesian water can be had Is in the
neighborhood of 2000 or 2500 square
miles.
In addition to the study of tho ar
tesian basins referred to. Professor
Russel's trip furnished much of in
terest in the way of general geology
and geography, and especially in ref
erence to the extinct volcanoes of
Southeastern Oregon and the Cinder
Butts In Idaho.
One of the greatest needs of the
people in Idaho and Oregon, who are
interested in putting down artesian
wells, is detailed Information as to
how to .drill and care for such wells.
Of all the drill holes Professor Rus
sell saw In the state referred to, he
failed to remember a single Instanco
lu which the work Was done right.
In some Instances, as near Burnt1
the wells without doubt would have
been highly successful had properl
casing been put In, but are classel
as failures; and In other Instances
wells which are now flowing have de
creased In volume owing to caving In
of their sides, so as to bo practically
useless. Baker City Herald.
