DEER ARE KILLED
OUT OE SEASON
ILLICIT HUNTING PRAC-
ITED NEAR MEACIIAM.
It Is Known That Seven Deer Have
Been Killed on Butcher Creek and
In the Vicinity of Mcuchnm Willi'
in the Pant Two Weeks Deep Snow
In High Mountains Has Driven
Them Down to Lower Foothills,
Where Tliey Are Easy Prey to
Hunters.
Seven deer have been killed In the
vicinity of Meacham and near the
head if Butcher creek, In the Blue
mountains within the past two weeks,
according to authentic report from
there.
Railroad men who have stopped at
the stations along the O. R. & X. in
the mountains have seen deer hauled
Into various camps along the line and
it Is evident that a regular practice is
made of killing them out of season
In that vicinity.
Owing to the deep snow In the high
mountains the deer have been driven
Into the lower foothills and creeki
where the ground Is bare and in these
places they become easy prey to the
illicit hunters of the mountains and
the services of a game warden ar
sorely needed In the vicinity of Men
chain to protect the few remaining
game animals according to law.
On the head of Butcher creek, not
far from Allen's Spur on the O. R. &
& X. several herds, consisting of from
five to 15 deer, have been seen re
eently nnd they are more plentiful
there than for many years before, be
cause of the deep snow which hns
covered the mountains since early In
December.
IX THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Ownership of a Valuable Stallion I
Being Tried Out.
In the circuit court room todny
there has been a decided change from
the excitement of the past two weeks,
The entire forenoon was taken up
with the trial of the case of W. H,
Brlgga vs. J. R. Porter, which In
volves the ownership of a stallion
valued nt $4 70. Carter, Raley & Ra
ley and Halley & Lowell are the at
tornevs In the ease.
After the cuse had been culled till
morning n Jury of seven was speedily
secured as follows: William Brown, J,
M. Derrick, G. W. Huiisell. K. E. La
Hue, J. W. Myrlck. J. W. Keen an
Daniel Bowman. The case was then
tried out nnd was given to the Jury
shortly before noon.
In the case of Martha Kimball vs.
the Modern Woodmen, It was nn
nounced that the case hud been set
tied nnd would not come up J"or trlnl
Verdict for Defendant.
When court reconvened this after.
noon the jury In the Brlggs-Porte
case returned a verdict In favor of the
defendant.
There being no other case then
ready for trial, an adjournment was
taken. The only other Jury case now
on the docket is that of the famous
Echo mule, which has already been
the subject of more litigation than
generally falls to the lot of "one bay
mare mule." This cuse will likely be
taken up on Wednesday, nnd with Its
completion the Jurors will be dls
missed.

SUGGESTS SIONE
FOR PAVEMENT
Frank Duprat Would Pave
Pendleton Streets at $2
Per Square Yard.
WOULD USE BLUE STONE
FOUND IX THE CITY.
t Is Said an Excellent Grade of Pav
ing Can Be Made From Cut Stone
Ijild in Cement This Kind of Pav
ing Would Use Home Materia! and
Employ Home Labor Exclusively
Easily Repaired and of Everlasting
Duration Council Will He Asked tJ
Consider.
Shall Pendleton streets be paved
with the excellent blue stone which is
found In enormous quantities all
around the city and which is used ex
tensively In building In the city and
vicinity?
This question will be presented by
Frank Duprat, the well known stone
mason, to the city council at the next
meeting.
Mr. Duprat says that for $2 per
se.uare yard an everlasting pavement
can be laid on Pendleton streets, the
construction of which would employ
altogether local labor, use home ma- .
terial exclusively and keep the entire
expenditure for pavement In the city.
Quarries of this blue stone are found
on all sides of the city and a force of
60 men, it Is said, could pave eight
blocks within three months. The stone
would be cut and prepared at the
quarry end hauled by teams to the
streets to be laid Into the pavement.
The price of 12 per square yard
would not include leveling the street
to make ready for the pavement,
which would have to be done by the
city, hut which would require but lit
tie expense. But for 2 per square
yard the stone will be laid in cement,
with a smooth surface that could be
easily swept clean, rounded according
to the street grade and made higher
in the center for purpoae of drainage
and prepared In a workmanlike man
ner to withstnnd all the traffic that
might be enjoyed by the city for all
time.
At the price mentioned the stone
would be cut from 10 to 15 Inches in
depth, from five to 10 Inches In width
and from six to 14 Inches In length.
It would be placed In uniform layers
or rows, lengthwise with the street,,
the rowa being five, six, seven, eight,
nine and 10 inches In width, with
jolnts broken as In regular stone work
and the rock closely fitted together
with cement and sand.
For 27 years Mr. Duprat has work
ed with the blue stone of this vlclnlty
nnd says that it Is absolutely perfect
for all purposes and a pavement con
strutted from It would be a perma
nent and desirable investment for the
city.
Since the lowest cost yet given on
other varieties of pavement Is about
$2.25 per square yard, the stone would
appeal to the taxpayers from a finan
cial standpoint, nnd as it Is said that
a smooth, even, benutiful paving can
be made from It, there are additional
advantages to be hud by Its use on
the streets.
The most important feature of the
project is that practically all the out
lay for street paving would be kept
at home, to be returned again into the
business enterprises conducted by
those who must ultimately pay for
the paving. This feature alone Is
worth considering beside the slight
cost of mnking repairs to the stone
paving, which can be done by simply
lifting out a small section of the stone
and replacing it with one tut to fit.
The matter will be presented to the
street committee in a formal way by
Mr. Duprat. who hopes to interest
the city council in his rlan.
CHARGED WITH STEALING.
Stild That Schlosscr Abstracted n
Horse and Buggy.
J. W. Schlosser was arrested by the
police last night on the charge of hav
ing stolen a horse and buggy from a
stable in this city. He was locked In
the city Jail over night nnd this morn
ing turned over to the sheriff.
The rig in question was hired by
Schlosser for the purpose of taking a
trip to Echo, so it Is said. However,
he denies that he had any Intention
of stealing the same, and hopes to
prove his innocence In the matter.
Jury Acquitted Her.
Denver, Feb. 5. Helen
Scrtmldlap, tried for the murder
of her husband William, was
acquitted today. It having been
proved that Schmldiap ordered
her to go out and "make a liv-
Ing by her face and form." The
couple had quarreled for months
from this cause.
