The salubrious climate of Uma tilla county Is again demonstrated be yond any doubt. Hugg Bros., the well known sheep men of this city, have Just finished shearing 4600 mutton sheep, which will be shipped out to Seattle market? at the rate of three cars per week. These sheep have not suffered with the cold, although clipped in the mid dle of the winter and are gaining In flesh every day. In any other of the northwest states this performance would ordinarily result In great loss on account of the severe winter weather, but In Umatilla county It Is a safe procedure, accompanied with little If any danger of loss. The entire herd of 4600 head will average 100 pounds per head and are In excellent condition. The wool has not been weighed yet and the average weight of the fleeces has not ben as certain but It Is known that the sheep sheared well, since they were largo and strong and in good condi tion.

DEFENSE TRYING TO SHIFT BLAME. (Continued from page 1.) "O," retorted Fee, "he has a district attorney hired to look out for him." "Judge Fee." calmly replied Mr. Phelps, "you ought to be ashnmed of yourself. Did you say he had me hired?" "Well, not exactly hired." Things were at this pass getting pretty well warmed up, and langunge was streaming fast when the court by dint of much rapping with the gravel dammned up the molten flow. rticlM Makes ( Iwinire of Front. Argument was resumed by District Attorney Phelps, stating that he would not allow such trash as the evidence they wished to show by the Platzoe der books, to come In. "They are go ing to undertake now to say that Tay lor Is a liar. Last Saturday they laid the erasure onto Arthur Holmes. Talk ing about breathing hot and cold, I never saw the equal of counsel." Judge Ellis Sustains Objection. Further argument was ended and the court stated that he thought it Just as well If the attorneys would not attack the motives of each other. And then ruled. "I think these books are not competent and material ex cept to show the handwriting. I will sustain the objection." "May It please the court," said Fee, "I offered to show this book because It shows a system and alterations sim ilar to those on Blakley's books. It shows changed and altered figures and amonts, altered Items and other figures Inserted." "I will withdraw my objection and let them put the books In," said Mr. Phelps. Defense Files Motions. The defense then came forward with (he motions that were to be In troduced when the prosecution first rested. The first motion was to strike out and take from the Jury the summary of the report found by the experts. To take away all the books offered In evidence because they are not nil the hooks pertaining to the sheriff's of fice, because they were insufficient to show the money collected and paid out during the Taylor administration. The second motion moved to strike out and take from the Jury all the books offered In evldonce during the Blakley administration, for the actions occurring during the Taylor term. That the conditions were not alike and did not Identify the person who made the erasures. That there was not sufficient evidence that the de fendant was the same person who committed the crime during the Blak ley administration. The third motion was to take away the report of the experts, as the books themselves were the best evidence. The last motion was for the court to Instruct the Jury to return a verdict for the defendant because all the money had been turned over to the treasurer of Umatilla county, and that at the time of filing the Information there was not shortage In the sheriffs office, all the mono having been turned over. And that the defendant did not have any of the money In his possession belonging to Umatilla county. All these objections were promptly overruled by the court. Davis Called as Witness. Judge Fee and Colonel Raley now begun to build up the defense, and called C. P. Davis to the stand as their first witness, Judge Fee conduct ing the examination. Mr. Davis, you may state whether or not you were deputy In the sher iff's office?" "I was." "As such, did you keep the books of the office?" "I kept the prlva books; the tax rolls were written by other parties." "Who kept the register?" "I made some entries on them, also Taylor and Funk." "Have you recently examined, or caused to be examined, the records of the office for the purpose of ascer taining their condition?" "I have." "So far as receipts not entered up on the collection register for the year 1894, I will ask you If you made any report of receipt No. 4382 to the county court?" - "I did." Bach receipt for which the cash haa not been turned over was called off with the statement that . It was re ported to the county and the report exhibited to the jury. Mr. Phelps said that they would admit that these receipts were report ed to the county court, and that the evidence was immaterial. "We will try our case to suit our selves," reported Judge Fee. "I am talking to the court. Ad dress your remarks to him," counseled Mr. Phelps. The court advised the attorneys what was the proper thing to do, and wished they would follow It. The remainder of the forenoon was then consumed by the defense In ac counting for different receipts which do not show upon the collection reg ister. The process was a tedious one, and many of the receipts for but a few cents, and as a result the crowd grew restless and dwindled away. At 12 o'clock an adjournment was taken until 1:30. This Afternoon. The examination of Davis this after noon was a continuation of the mo. notonous detail of examining each In dividual tax receipt which had been reported to the county court. This continued until about 2 o'clock, when Mr. McCourt said, "We object to fur ther examination, for the reason that the reports are already In evidence, and we have time and again admitted the items set forth. This defendant Is not being tried for not reporting to the county court, but for money not turned over. This Is simply taking up the time of the court." To which Judge Fee replied, "I think this Jury wants to know the truth about this matter; not what Mr. McCourt wants them to know." Mr. Phelps "We claimed then and claim now that receipts were not en tered and paid over to the treasurer. The experts said that it did not make any difference if they were reported to the county court. We say that It is immaterial If he did report to the county court. ' This Is Just for the pur pose of misleading the Jury." Mr. McCourt then cited an example as a parallel: "If A engages B to work for him, and B makes reports each night or each month, the amount collected as A's agent, It don't make any difference what he reports If at the end of the month he hasn't got the money on hand. He may have re ported all right, but If he hasn't got the money he Is a thief nnd an em bczzlcr." , Judge Ellis said In ruling that the books were already In evidence, and he did not think there was any use going over the books twice, but there might be a little other evidence to come out of it, nnd he would permit It to be Introduced for a while yet. The work of examining the receipts was continued, and Mr. Davis stated that the reason he had not reported a receipt for 36.88 was because it had been overlooked through error. Ilok ShIcm Heavy.
