100 Years Ago
From the East Oregonian
June 1, 1917
Following a preliminary hearing yesterday
afternoon in the justice court, A.D. Grieve
and son, Brayton, charged with the larceny
of a yearling ewe of J.T. Hoskins, were
released, Judge Parkes taking the ground that
there was not sufficient evidence produced
to warrant holding them to the grand jury.
They explained their possession of the ewe
by stating that it had been left by Hoskins’
herder, Walter Ogilvy, near their place
because of exhaustion and had joined their
own band of lambs. Ogilvy was aware of
its presence there, they stated, and had been
notified that he had better take it away. As
for the other sheep in their possession, they
produced evidence showing that they had
come by them rightfully.

possession in life. It is the
one piece of property of
which time cannot deprive
us; it is our own in a way that
nothing else in life is. In a
word, we are our past; we do
not cling to it, it clings to us.”
— Grace King, American
author (1852-1932).
