IRON DYKE MORTGAGE SALE.
iProcords Will Be Used to Build Rail
road Down Siuiko River.
A dispatch from Baker City says:
Yesterday afternoon, through an of
ficial of the Citizens' Natlonul bank,
a deed and a mnrtgngo were placed
on record with Recorder Henry,
whereby the Curtze and Conrad Inter
ests In the great Iron Dyke properties
were transferred to the Erie Trust
company of Pittsburg, Pa. Tle mort
gage shows that Curtze, Conrad and
their associates give to the trust com
pany stock In the Iron Dyke mines to
the amount of $300,000 and BOO $1000
bonds, making a total of $800,000 rep
resented in the transfer. ,
Yesterday there was no one here
who would assume authority in mak
ing any statement for publication
with reference to these transfers. It
is known, however, that the business
of the big corporation- has been for
some time shaping Itself with a view
to realizing funds with which to pros
ecute the construction of the railroad
from Hutlngton to Homestead on
Snake river. Those who pretend to
know of the engineering and the esti
mates involved, have stated to people
In Baker City that about $800,000
would be required for this proposition
and It is assumed by those who hud a
knowledge of yesterday's filing that
the fund received from the trust com
pany would be devoted to this con
struction work, '
Ninety-Five Per Cent of the Slock
SiilmcrlhnA.
The Yuklmn Republic gives the fol
lowing synopsis of affairs relating to
the Tleton irrigation project:
A mooting of the original stockhjld-
crs of the Tloton Water Users' asso
ciation Is cnlled for Saturday, July
14, for the purpose of Increasing the
capital stock from 13,000 shares of
tho aggregate value of $780,0)0 to
24.000 shares of the aggregate value
of $1,440,000.
There are 93 members In the orig
inal organization and only thli i um
ber are entitled to vole on the ques
tion. As a two-thirds vote is required
to carry the proposition some effort
will have to be made to get the Yaki
ma stockholders out to vote. It is
necicssary to increase the capital
stock to build the canal.
At. a meeting of the trustees Mon
day afternoon the work of the asso
ciation was gone over and new busi
ness -was taken up. It was the opinion
of all those present that the Tleton
project is in good shape. The required
amount of stock up to 96 per cent has
been taken by the land owners, but
as some of the land will have to be
eliminated on account of it being un
fit for use, It will be necessary to se
cure the signatures of others who
have not yet come In. There are
about 10 of the land owners who are
still holding out, but half of them
have agreed to take stock as soon as
some technicalities are adjusted.

MAN SHOT BY A BOY.
VkThn Was Attempting to Kldnnp
His Child.
From the Lostine correspondent of
Baker City Democrat Is taken the fol
lowing account of the dangerous
wounding of Frank Shilling:
Frank Shilling was shot and it Is
thought fatally wounded yesterday af
ternoon by Joy Haun a 13-year-old
boy. The shooting was the result of
Shilling's attempt to regain possession
of his 4-year-old boy which had been
awarded to the custody of his wife by
the district court some months ago.
The Shilling family became In
volved In some difficulty which re
sulted in a divorce. Mrs. Shilling was
given the custody of their child.
Since the divorce Mrs. Shilling has
been residing with her parents, Mr.
nnd Mrs. Haun. Yesterday Shilling
came into town and, discovering that
the boy was out with his uncle, Joy
Haun. Bhootlng squirrels, followed
them to the hillside and picked up the
boy and started with him to his camp.
Jop Haun told him to drop the boy or
he would fire. Shilling did not do as
requested and attempted to strike the
gun from young Haun'a hand. The
gun was discharged and the bullet
struck him In the side. It Is thought
that the ball penetrated the lung.
The gun was a 32 calibre Winches
ter. Shilling is in a dangerous con
dition. The Haun boy is 13 yenrs of
age and has been placed under $3000
bonds.
As further details regarding the
capture of the counterfeiting gang at
Huntington come to light, the im
portance of the arrests become more
and more apparent. It is declared
by the federal officials who have been
working on the case that the gang Is
one of the most extensive in the
United Statec. and have been unusu
ally hard to locate.
Nine men In all have been placed
under arrest, five being arrested fit
Huntington, one in Portland and three
at Weiser, Idaho. The last three are
C. K. Mills. Elmer Turner and Al
Turner, nnd they were arrested at
Welscr yesterday afternoon by Depu
ty United States Marshal Griffiths. He
will pass through Pendleton this even
Ing bound for Portland with his pris
oners.
J. H. Williams, the Portland mem
ber of the gang, was arrested by Dep
uty Marshal Glenn Bushce after the
secret service men had secured evi
dence connecting Williams with the
counterfeiting gang. Williams has
served several terms In prison for
counterfeiting, and has a record for
being one of the worst criminals of
that class In the United States. The
same is true of Coon, the leader of
the gang at Huntington. By reason
of their long experience in the work,
both men were thoroughly familiar
with the usual tactics of the secret
service men. and were able to thwart
previous efforts to capture them.
One thing which made It difficult
for the officers to locate the Hunt
ington gang was the fact that neither
of the principal men ever tried to se
cure supplies themselves. This work
was done by Johnson, one of the men
arrested at Huntington, and who was
not known to have any connection
with the gang until a short time ago.
Williams, the man arrested In Port
land, is a skilled mechanic, and while
operating there also did some work
for the Honeyman Hardware compa
ny. He maintained a little workship
for the purpose of disguising his real
business.
All of the money manufactured by
the captured gang was In the form of
$5 nnd $10 gold pieces. No paper
money and been made, but it is be
lieved they were preparing to counter
felt currency also. Williams Is said
to be an expert engraver.
C. J. Billedue was named as street
commissioner by Mayor James A. Fee
at the council meeting last night and
his appointment was immediately ap
proved by the council. Before an- 1
nouncing the appointment the mayor
said he had become convinced that
there should be a commissioner In.
view of the large amount of work to
be done by the city. . He said he had
carefully investigated the merlta pi
different men before deciding upon an
appointment, and that he reglrded
Mr. Billedue as the best man available.
For several months past the office
of street commissioner has been va
cant, and the work has been done by
employes under the direction of the
street committee.
Flood Claims Presented.
As was predicted in this paper last
evening, the three Main street stores;
that atiffered damage during the flood
presented their claims for damages to
the council last night. Each claim
was presented separately by the attor
neys. Carter. Raley & Raley. Aside
from the claims for actual loss ot
goods, the city Is also' asked' to pay
for the loss sustained to business In
each instance, and for the cost ot"
cleanlng up after the flood. The totals
of the claims were as follows: Baker
Folsom. $6375.80; Fair Store,.
$4291.75; The Peoples arenousc
$2446.54.
immediately after the claims naa
been read Councilman Hlnkle moved
that they be rejected, and the motion.
carried unanimously.
It Is understood that suit will short
ly be filed in the circuit court by the
three merchants, the basis of their,
case being that the city was responsi
ble for the damage because It did not
require a flood gate to be maintained
at the end of the mill race-- ;e
As to Private Sewers.- '
Once more thnt subject of private
sewers was brought up at the conn-'
ell meeting last night. Councilman?
Mumm reported that many complains
were being received because of defec
tive private sewers. Thereupon the .
city attorney was asked to look up th9
ordinances governing the same, and.
after such has been done It Is proba-.
ble steps will be taken to abate the
nuisances.
Paving Bhls Monday.
As the time for the presentation of
the paving bids will elapse within a
few davs. It was voted to meet again
on Monday evening for the purpose of
opening the bids and taking action
regarding the same. Had not a spec
ial meeting been called considerable
time would have been lost, as no meet
ing can be hold next Wednesday, that
day being the Fourth of July.
In 1901 the first school house at
