EARLY SHEEP SALES
MARKET IS ACTIVE AXD
STRONG A MONTH EARLY.
Mott of the Saleable Sheep ot Waneo,
Crook and Whoeler Counties Arc
Contracted for, and at Good Fig
ures Great Yearling Demand
Never Before Have So Many Sliecp
Iteen Sold so Early In the Season.
That contracts have already been
made for most of the saleable sheep
of Wasco, Crook and Wheeler coun
ties was stated today by J. N. Burgess
of the Cunningham Sheep & Land
company, who has Just returned from
his old home near Antelope. The
prices paid, according to Mr. Burgess,
have varied from $2.50 to $3.25 per
head for yearlings. The highest price
was paid for ewes, while many year
ling wethers have sold for $2.75 per
head.
Never before have so many sheep
been gold at this time of the year,
declares Mr. Burgess, who has an op
portunity of knowing the state of the'
market as well as any man In this
section. He says that already this
season as many sheep have been sold
as is usual a month later than this
date. This condition Is due largely
to the fact that there Is a scarcity of
sheep to be sold, and as a result buy
ers have come Into the field early.
Especially are yearling ewes In de
mand, and consequently splendid
prices have been secured by men hav
ing such to sell. There has been a
difference of about 50 cents per head
In the price of ewes and wethers, the
former selling for $3.25, while the
price of wethers has ranged in the vi
cinity of $2.75.

young alfalfa plants. ,

FILING OE ANSWER
THE EMPLOY-DIRECTORS
MAKE STARTLING CLAIMS.
They Auk That Order Appointing Vin
cent as Receiver Be Cancelled Not
Yet Known When Court Will Con
rider the Cane They Deny They
Have Any Intention of Making the
Tribune a Democratic Paper, and
Reiterate Earlier Charges Against
E. P. Dodd.
This afternoon the employe-directors
of the Pendleton Tribune,
through their attorney, A. D. Stlllman,
filed an answer to the suit recently
brought against them by E. P. Dodd
and others. In the answer the em
ployes ask that the order heretofore
made for the appointment of Dr. F.
W. Vincent as receiver of the com
pany, be cancelled and that the prop
erty of the company be turned over
to the defendants, and that he be re
quired to account for his acts as re
ceiver. The answer filed Is a lengthy one
and reviews the case in detail. In
general it denies most of the allega
tions set up in the complaint filed by
the Dodd forces, and makes specific
charges in place of the general alle
gations made against Dodd In the
complaint recently filed against Dodd.
Perhaps the most startling thing
declared Is that E. P. Dodd Is the
owner of but 301 shares of stock In
the Tribune, that 99 other shares are
the property of the company and In
the name of the treasurer, while the
remaining 200 are held by the em
ployes. At the close of the answer
Is an affidavit from Mr. Stlllman to
the effect that when he filed the first
suit he had been misled through a
statement made by Mr. Dodd In the
presence of John McCourt, which was
that Dodd owned 400 shares. Where
as It was subsequently learned that
Dodd owns but 301 shares, but one
over half the capital stock.
Regarding the political attitude of
the Tribune, the answer admits that
the paper has for years advocated the
principles of the republican party,
and that It derives support from the
adherents of that party. However, It
denies that the success of the paper
depends upon money received for
editorial opinions as expressed In the
Tribune. It Is averred that the paper
Is of great value as a newspaper
transacting a legitimate business, and
WOULD BE OF GREATER VALUE
AS A NEWSPAPER PROPERTY
DID IT SUPPORT THE PRINCI
PLES OF THE REPUBLICAN PAR
TY WITHOUT A PRICE PAID BY
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THAT
PABTT.
It Is strongly denied that the de
fendants have any designs of making
the paper a democratic sheet, or that
they would do so If not restrained.
The charges of cheating, mislead
ing, deceiving and defrauding which
were made against Dodd in the other
complaint, are repeated and more de
tailed allegations made.
As to when the Tribune case will
be taken up In court is not yet known.
Under the law the other side has one
day In whclh to reply.

RETURNING TO ALBERTA.
Nick Taltlnger Will Go to Canada
Next Week to Begin Spring Work.,
Nick Taltlnger, formerly of Athe
na, but now a resident of Alberta,
who has been In the county on a
visit for the past month, will leave
for his home In Alberta next week to
begin spring work.
He has Just heard from Claresholm,
where his land Is located and says
that four Inches of snow which fell
there the first part of the present
week has all disappeared and the
weather Is delightful.
He says that Oregon Is not furnish
ing the only emigrants to Alberta as
nearly every state In the Union Is
represented In the new settlements In
Alberta province. The vacant land
subject to homesteadlng Is now
about exhausted near the railroads,
and the settlers who go hereafter will
be compelled to buy land, the prices
ranging from $14 to $20 per acre, ac
cording to location. He Is well pleas
ed with the country and will remain
there permanently perhaps.
VERY DEAF AND QUITE DRUNK.
One Drnnk May Be Held on a Charge
of 'Forgery,
In the police court this morning
two Indians, Charley and Why-an-lt-Is,
where charged with being drunk
and were given three days each, while
two white men, G. L. Oman and Fred
Kearney, were up for disorderly conduct.
One of the Indians, Charley, Is deaf
and his examination . furnished a
change from the routine monotony of
the court. After having questioned
him orally without avail, Judg Fltz
Gerald resorted to sign language and
graphically described the charge
against the prisoner. However,
Charley did not cumtux, and finally
another Indian was told to ask him
If he had been drunk. After a few
signs the Interpreter replied: "Yes,
he was drunk, all right." He was
then given a sentence of $5 or three
days, as was also done In the case of
Why-an-it-ts.
Both of the white men are young
fellows and were up for being drunk
and disorderly. Oman was also ac
cused of having demolished the stove
pipe In the city Jail, and he was given
a sentence of $15 or eight days.
Kearney was given $5 or three days.
Omon was In Pendleton several years
ago and Jumped his ball after having
been arrested for forging a check,
This Is the first time he has been
back since, and it is possible the old
charge may be pressed against him
HORSES FROM MONTANA.
Washington Contractor Makes Heavy
Purchase) of Grading Teams.
H. C. Henry, who has the contract
for building the Chicago, Milwaukee
& fit. Paul railroad through Wash
ington, has purchased a large num
ber of horses In Montana, paying as
high as $400 a team for excellent
draft animals. These horses have
been shipped from Montana to Wash

Seattle.
Mr. Henry will use the Montana
horses on a sub-contract of 15 miles
of road his sons have on the North
ern Pacific's north bank extension
Into Portland. They are now working
In the vicinity of Arlington. The ex
tra draft horses were hurried Into this
state to complete the smaller con
tract. As soon as the Northern Pacific
work Is completed Mr. Henry will
move his outfit to some point along
the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul. It Is probable his sons will
be given sub-contracts where the
equipment can be used.

time for service of the Moses Taylor

BASKET BALL POSTPONED.
Dual Game With Colfax Will Be Held
Tomorrow.
The dual basket ball games with
the Colfax high school will be played
at that place tomorrow evening In
stead of tonight. After having train
ed hard for the contest the local play
ers received word from the Colfax
manager Inst night to the effect that
he could not guarantee the expenses
of the Pendleton teams, and that the
game would have to be given up. The
reason given was that the Colfax fa&
ulty Insisted that all expenses should
be assured by an advance sale of seats
for the game before the visitors were
allowed to come.
However, this afternoon the Pen
dleton managers were again called
by 'phone and Informed that a suf
ficient amount had been raised to
meet their expenses, and that the
game could be played tomorrow. The
offer was accepted, and the two
teams will leave for Colfax tomorrow
morning.
