Stole a Watch From the Pocket of a Friend of Short Acquaintance Is a Man of Intelligence, But Liquor Got the Best of Him. W. Eplnger was sentenced this morning by Judge Ellis to serve a term of IS months in stntes prison. Eplnger will be remembered rr the man who canio here two weeks ago and registered at Hotol St. George from San Francisco. He claimed to be representing tho Western Printing Company, and was soliciting ads to ue printed on cards to be posted con spicuously in different places over the country. He found several victims here nnd from most of them collected In full for the advertisement and then blew the money for whisky. He also foun 1 some who were gullible enough to loan hlra money on the plea that he would pav It bock as soon as his de- 'ayed check reached him from ...,niie loose from the team ana start house, this Was what first got him into trouble. Several of his victims got together and after comparing notes, and Eplnger had not shown up ns agreed with the money to pay back that borrowed, the concluded that he was a fraud. The police took himin charge, but as there was no criminal charge against him, he was released. That night he became acqupintedj TZ I. .V I .in. -vr o vi.,m. u. was wrapped was cut open and the rni wm?Ahi scattered.

The court was not in clined to be very lenient with him nnd Eplnger was dumfounded when the judge announced that he would hnve to serve IS months in the service of the state without any compensation other than his board and a Htriped suit. Eplnger had papers with him which showed that he had a family in Cali fornia. He also showed very high in- tplliirpnno Vint nftpr rpnnhlmr Pntwlln. , ..... atn ...'. ! ton he at once filled up on whisky i and treated everybody he met.

"Dead Man's Hill.' On the hill above Cnyuse Station, cast of Pendleton, are the graves of three murdered men. The place Is called "Dead Man's Hill." In July, 1878. during the Bannock Indian war In Oregon and Idaho, three freight teams, consisting of 12 mules nnd three great blue wngons each, started from La Grande across the Blue mountains to Umatilla landing. The' wore driven by Jack McCoy, Jack Mc Laughlin and Jim Myers. They left I .a Grande against the entreaty of friends. They were told of the dan gors of the trip. But they started, against the best judgment of every body. Indians were known to be In the mountains. They had stolen stock at different points along the freight road. The freighters camped at Meacham tho first night out. without molestation, But before dark the second day they lay murdered on top of "Dead .Man's Hill." their wagons destroyed, their stock stolen and their freight scnttcred over the scone of their murder. From the Indications t jlfJ tme jt h , 1 18 w the Indians R "' r-nch man cut his saddle ed to escape from the bloodthirsty savages. They were found the next day a short distance from their wag ons, with their skulls crushed. The Indians cut the spokes In the wheels nnd let the wagons drop down upon the nxles. The freight consisted of flour nnd bacon. The Indlnns cut the sacks open and from their ponies scattered the flour over acres in ex me mons er wag- road, like dismantled ships, with wheels cut Into kindling. The freight wns scattered everywhere upon the mountainside, and the murdered fron tiersmen, who had braved many per ils before this, were lying cold in the morning dews. Friendly hands gath ered them Into rude coffins and laid them to rest as quickly and silently as the surrounding dangers would ad mit of. It was necessary to cut n road through the timber, around the wag ons, before the stage could pass. It is one ot the many sad events which nrs the pages of Oregon history. p""1 "-"'7 Journal. j While There is Life There Is Hope.
