THE DEADLY ASSAULT WAS ENTIRELY UNPROVOKED. Morton Opened the Firing and Then Made an Advance With Mrs. Dougherty and Another Herder as. Involuntary Shields He Took Every Unjustifiable Advantage and Tried to Finish Dougherty After Bringing Him Down With Shot In Lungs. Dr. W. 0. Colo returned from tho Dougherty sheep ranch Inst evening and gives a different version of tho shooting from that told by Morton, the man who Is In Jail. The flrHt part of the story, concern ing tho herding of tho lambs nnd tho trouble with tho other flock conforms with tho story of tho sheepherder, but from there it begins to dlvorgo. Morton told Dougherty thai ho would quit, and demanded ills money. Tbo camp where tbo men wero at work was about llvo miles from tho homo place, and Dougherty told the man that ho had neither money nor chock hook there, but thnt If ho would wait ho would fix tho matter aB soon as ho had nn opportunity to leave tho hand of sheop which ho was tending. Morton refused tho offer, bo tho Btory goes, nnd enmu to town, and Inter returned to the enmp In search of either money or revenge. In tho meantime Pat Dougherty had gono io tbo house, or sent, and Mrs. Dougherty bad como to tho camp nnd was helping him round up tho flock, (left alone nnd untended by Morton whon ho left tho plnco). Tho latter returned t,o tho enmp nnd de manded IiIb money, nnd when refused drew his gun on Dougherty. Mrs. Dougherty sprang between tho raon nnd tho Bhoephorder fired, tho bullet passing over Mrs. Dougherty's shoul der nnd between her husband's legs. Dougherty wob unarmed and rnn, Got. ting nwny from his nssallnnt, ho wont to tho houso, Becured it gun nnd start ed back to tho sceno of trouble In tho meantime Morton bail com manded tho womun to march to tho houso and hnd started for tbo plnco with MrB.

When about half tho distance to tho houso they overtook another herder, who waB tending a flock of Bheep on tho hillsides, and Morton forced him Into lino. Tho procession proceeded to a Hmnll brldgo near tho houso, whoro It waB met by Pnt Dougherty, who had Been them coming ovor tho hill anil had waited at tho crosulng for them. proposition to Hot asldo tho sum of r,r"m...ih" ""!

Portland Law and Order Leagues Want Them 8ent to Jail. Ono hundred dollars each and costs waB the amount of fine set by Judge Cleland at the state circuit court In tho case of tho 10 whlto gamblers recently Indicted by tho grand Jury, says tho Evening Tolo- grarn. These gamesters all pleaded guilty last week, and this morning wns set for tho tlmo as passing sen tence. But ono of tho offenders was on hand to hear tho decision of tho trib unal.

Ho also laid down a $5 gold pleco for costs. Mr. Erlckeon then departed from tno court hoiiBo, leaving the county no tho Ilttlo richer. Tbo court decision will causo great consternation nmong tho members of tho numerous "law and order leagues" of Portland that liavo Had hopes of seolng tho gamblers sent p for a term of years, 'iiio amount of theso fines aro but a small drop in tbo bucket for most of tho pro prietors of sporting palaces, It Is claimed. dor and Bhot Dougherty.

Dougherty iittomptud to bring IiIh tiinn down, taking ono shot as ho foil, which went wldo of Its murk. Morton thnn emptied his ro volvor at tho fullen man without ef fect, nnd took to tho rango. Ono of tho Dougherty boys was iiIbo In the vicinity and unarmed, being compelled to see his brother Bhot without being ablo to olther help, or avengo him. Mrs. Dougherty iinil tho herder both tell tbo Haino story, and it is thought that Morton had deliber ately planned tho attack.
