. ITETIS IN BRIEF.

Antelope Is growing steadily, quite
an umber of buildings having gone up
1Mb fall.

According to the Glacier the boys at
Hood River did not neglect to monkey
- with the gates and signs on Hal
, low'een, but then all our other ex

Mr. T. K. Bolton, a prominent drug-
eitt of Ashland, Mrs. Bolton and Mor-
c ris Howell,' also of Ashland, are visit
ing Mrand Mrs. D. CV Herrin. Mr.
Howell is Mrs. Herrin's brother.
Frank Malone, of Antelope, was
thrown from a horse last Saturday, one
of his legs being broken and hip dis
located In the fall. Our informant,
Mr. Wiley, says he was getting -along
nicely when he left Antelope Thurs-
. day morning. . . .
There was a finerain last night that
when it first began, with the clouds
- sweeping up from the southwest, gave
promise of being the regular fall
-, soaker. The weather clerk changed
..his mind though, and tUs morning
the sun rose in a cloudless sky.
Only a few weeks ago the Hood
- River fair managers advertised among
other things, a baby., show. Thia
proved a very attractive feature of the
fair, and it was announced that an
other would be held next, year. We
notice in today's Glacier the record of
four births; and yet .some .people, pre
tend to think that advertising doesn't
..pay.:;;:-! - -r-;, !;'.' -:;
The sheepmen held a meeting at
Antelope a couple of weeks ago to dis
. cuss the question, of offering a bounty
for coyote scalps. The meeting was
. well attended, and it was k agreed that
if the county court, which -has been
' petitioned in the matter, will offer a
bounty of II each for coyote scalps,
the stockman would add another dollar
to the bounty. To meet this expense
a tax of half a cent will, be collected
for each sheep owned. -

Since wheat commands a better price
on the Washington side of the river
than it does in The Dalles, why would
It not be advisable for Wasco county
wheat raisers to ferry .their grain
across the river and sell it for Kliok

Mr. Cone agrees to keep the peacd) at
least as far as Mr. Allen is concerned.

entertainments indulged in.
Dalles real estate dealers tell us
there is more inquiry from abroad re

THE PENALTY IS DEATH.
Dun-ant -Convicted of the Murder of
Blanch Lamonb
Theodore Durrant, assistant super
intendent of the Emanuel Baptist
e iurch Sunday school was on the 2nd
convicted of the murder of Blanche
Lamont, for which he has been on
trial since July 22 last. The jury was
out 20 minutes, and arrived at the
verdict on the first ballott. As there
was no recommendation of mercy, the
punishment was fixed at death.
It was exactly twenty-one minutes
from the time the jury left the court
room to the time the verdict was an
nounced, but that time was not taken up
in deliberation. In fact, there was no
deliberation at all. The jury had
evidently decided upon a verdict be
fore they left the box. It was 3:34
when they filed out of the courtroom
into the grand jury room which had
been placed at their disposal. It took
the twelve men until 3:50 o'clock be
fore they settled themselves comfort
ably, and at 3:55 a knock on the door
announced to the anxions waiters that
a verdict-had been found. It took just
five minutes of actual time to elect a
foreman and' take the one ballot neces
sary. The scene in the courtroom when
the verdict was announced will never
ba . forgotten by those who were
present. .
When the jury filed in a hush fell
upon the little circle that had
gathered around the prisoner. Dur
rant's face, always pale, assumed a
ghastly hue, and his mother was
speechless. Then the big doors at the
rear of the room opened, and the mem
bers of the jury filed in and took their
seats in the box.
In the intense excitement which fol
lowed, the room, although it was filled
to its utmost capacity, was almost as
quiet as if it had been vacant. Judge
Murphy, who had retired to his cham
bers, was summoned, and took his
place upon the bench. Clerk Morris
asked the usual question, as to whether
the jury had agreed upon a verdict.
Foreman Warren Dutton arose and re
plied in the affirmative, saying:
'We, the jury, find the defendant,
William Henry Theodore Durrant,
guilty of murder in the first degree."
Then, District Attorney Barnes
arose aad asked that a day be set upon
which the sentence of death should
be passed upon the prisoner. Judge
Murphy said that sentence would be
passed next Friday, upon which day
he would also set the day for the trial
of Durrant on the charge of murdering
Minnie Williams.
During the tumult which followed
the announcement of the verdict, Dur
rant and his mother were lost sight of,
except by the few who sat near them.
As the last words of the verdict were
uttered, Durrant made a spasmodic ef
fort to arise to his feet, but before he
could do so, his mother, with a half
sigh, half moan, threw her arms
around his neck and sank back into
her chair. His mother's grief seemed
to make Durrant forget his own posi
tion, and fcr the next few minutes, he
sat with his arms around her neck,
trying to soothe her. The long strain,
however, had completely shattered her
self-control, and it was some time be
fore '. Mrs.' Durrant could leave the
courtroom. -.
j Durrant recovered his old-time com
posure as soon -as be left bis mother
and prepared to return to the county
jail. With hia overcoat swung care-
lessly ovei hia arm, he walked leis-
nrely out of the room', twirling his
Blight mustache with apparently as
little concern as if he were merely a
spectator Instead of . the principal
figure in the exciting scene.
A STRAY MASTODON.
BlX
Boaes JFoond on Mr. Southwell's
Place Nemr The Dalles.
Mr.' John Southwell brought some
fossils to town Saturday that are
monsters. The specimens were found
in a bank of blue clay on his place on
Ted mile creek, about two months ago.
The creek had cut down through the
clay bank, and the bones were exposed .
at a depth of about eight feet. ' One of .
the specimens was a horn five inches'
across the base, about a foot long and
slightly curved., The other was the
hip-bone, showing the joint and about I
18 inches of the bone. ' It had been '
broken in getting it out but was glued
lyirralllQH "I'VtA 4sk?mr tti no o.,nn n vs.i- I
across. - Mr. Southwell Bays he has the
ankle bones, which are in a much bet
ter state of preservation, at home, and
that -when , spring .comes and the
ground gets softened, he will dig out
the balance- of the skeleton. It is a
monster, sure, and if it could be gotten
out and the bones all put together it
would he quite a curiosity. With the
meat on those bones there would be
enough- to start a cannery, and the
bones themselves would run a Chicago
free-soup house for a ' whole winter.
Just what the big animal was doing
around this country t the com para
tively recent date his shallow grave
indicates ' would be hard to guess,
though it is probable he had heard of
the superior - bargains he could get
from our Dalles merchants and had
come in from the - John Day country
after his winter clothing. Of course
if his trunk could be found the evi
dence would be stronger, but as It is,
it is only guess wort, une tbing is
certain, and that is that he deposited
bis bones in a Wasco county bank,
and they were safe.
SWIPED WASCO COUNTY SHEEP.
Drovers Prove Becreant to the Trust Im
posed in Them.
Sheriff Driver went . to Portland
Monday to appear as a witness in
the case of the . state against Wm.
Scott and Ed. Barker who are charged
with stealing a number of sheep from
Mr. Solomon Houser, of Tygh valley,
which was heard before Justice
Geisler Tuesday. The story of the
theft as related to a Telegram reporter
is as follows:
The two sheep drivers were engaged
by Solomon Houser, of Tygh valley,
some two weeks ago to drive a band ot
sheep from near Heppner to Portland,
The band contained some 500 head, but
on their arrival here about one half of
that number were missing. Scott and
Baker explained this diminution by
claiming that quite a number of sheep
had been lost in coming over the
mountains, and that the balance of
those not accounted for had been
killed by the breaking down of a
bridge. This bridge catastrophe was
described with a good deal of care as
to de tail and appeared quite plausible!
At first the story of the drivers was be
lieved, but as Houser did not care to
lose so many sheep he came to the con
clusion that he might yet possibly re
cover some of those that had strayed
in the drive over the mountains.
With this object in view a couple of
men wen detailed to follow the route
teken - by Soett and JUrker. Th
suspicion of these men was first aroused
when they were unable to discover any
trace of the alleged bride accident,
and as the search for the strayed
mutton proved futile also they came to
the conclusion that the story told by
Scott and Barker was not exactly in
conformity with the requirements of
the moral code. Upon inquiry it was
then learned that some of the Bheep
alleged to have met death in the
bridge accident had been sold at Fair,
view, Troutdale and other points aloug
the line of march. Only a portion of
the sheep, however, could be accounted
for. and in the absence of more com
plete evidence Barker was charged
with the theft of buttfortysLeep m d
Scott with thirty.
ALMOST A FIRE.
Caused by Dropping a Lighted Lamp Thlf
Morning.
The alarm of fir Saturday about
4 A. M. was caused by a small blaze
in Epstein's tailor shop, next door to
George Ruchs' grocery. Epstein had
an-overcoat to finish forone of the
showmen, and got".-up--early for the
purpose of working on it. Lighting a
small hand-lamp-he was preparing to
8TO to work when in some manner th
lamp slipped from his hands and fell
to the ttoor.The oil ran out and
caught tire" Epstein ran in the back
room and .grabbed a blanket with
which he tried to smother the flames
but fearing he would not be successful
ran to the door and gave the alarm.
He again set to-work getting the blan
ket over the flames and throwing water
on it, and before the fire engine ar
rived he had the blaze extinguished.
The side of the counter and the floor
were pretty well charred, and it was a
pretty close call for the building.
Not Good Trader.
There is one bicycle-rider on the
East Side who is a very good wheel
man, but a very poor trader. He
weighs about 200 pounds, and pur
chased a new twenty-pound wheel.
After using it a short time, he con- j
eluded It was' altogether too light.
Some of the parts were loose, and he
thought the machine was going to
pieces. He thought it was ruihed, and
concluded to trade it off. He found a
"sucker"' as he thought, and traded
his new machine for a "rattle-trap"
weighing about forty pounds, and
thought he had a good thing. A few
davs as-o he eot tired of his new
possession and traded it off for another
j wheel, and got a worse one. He got
dissatisfied with this one and traded it
i off.
What he got this time would be
curio anvwhere in the world. It had
a front wheel of one make and a rear
wheel of another,. while the frame
(belonged to another family. It now
belongs to the mongrel family, sure
and the owner has secured the merits
i of allthe wheels so he thinks. Tele

A Chinese and His Modern Excuse.
Ah Hing, a Chinese, who arrived a i
few days since from up country and
was arrested by Charles Lappeus on
account of his having no certificate of
registration, was arraigned before
Judge Bellinger Saturday, and put up
the latest form of excuse to the effect
that he was on his way to China and
was intending to leave at the first
opportunity. He was given a chance
to leave and placed under bonds to do
so. II be Tails to taxe passage py tne
"Jfirst ship leaving for China, he will be
rearrested and deported. A ehort
ime siuce a similar case occurred the
person arrested giving bonds in $200
that be would go out of the country at
once; but failed to embrace the first
opportunity offered and is still in this
region. ' He will be hunted up and
obliged to take his departure.
Returned From Europe.
This morning Messrs. W. H. Moody
and R E. Saltmarshe arrived home
from a visit to Europe, hale and hearty
and expressing themselves as being
highly pleased with their jaunt
through the eastern continent. They
left The Dalles on August 15, and have
spent most the time since traveling.
They first visited Mr. Saltmarahe's old
home in England, then traveled over
portions of Ireland and Scotland, and
crossed over to the continent and
visited Paris.. ,
Mr. Moody says while Europe has
many attractions, there is nothing
there to induce an American to for
sake his native land and seek a home
across the sea. Speaking of business.
both in Europe and the east, he says
there is a marked improvement in all
kinds of trade, and times are evidently
better than they were a year ago. .

traveler along the line of the Northern
Pacific is treated to a view of some
strange formations, known as Bad
Lands. They are properly named, for
one cannot conceive of anything more
forbidding or detrinental to settle
ment, and apparently It would be im
possible for anything animated to live
in or upon them. For miles they
stretch on either side of the railroad
track, and. consist of mounds, . large
and small, eomewhat resembling the
domes of Mohammedan temples. The
formation is a strata of red clay, inter
spersed with veins of coal. In conver
sation with a resident, the opinion was
advanced that the queer shape was
given by the spontaneous combustion
of the layers of coal, which, burning
out, left the mounds in the jtrgged
shape tbey now are. Of course, in
some previous age of the world, there
must have been glacial action or water
' courses to wash out the deep, gullies,
bo that the hills were left, before ex
posure to the elements caused the
combustion. It may be contended
that spontaneous combustion of coal
saams or other igneous . substances
cannot only result from heat generated
by the coal being covered and not ex
posed to the air. Be this as it may.
the clearly defined mosque-shaped
mounds demonstrate that some active
agency had been at work only in places,
or the contour of the ground would
not have had the unique appearance-
each mound completely segregated
from the other that they now have,
Water confined will produce upheav
als, the same as gases according to
Prof. Winchell's theory of volcanoes
and heat will destroy: but to either
wear channels or . create mounds.
there must be vent. - But this question
we will leave to geologists, who may
reason abstrusely from purely scientific
bases. ,
The Bad Lands always claim the at
tention 01 tne tourist, and are such a
phenomenon that will repay any one
making the trip over the Northern Pa
cific. But along the Yellowstone val
ley, in the midst of the Bad Lands,
there is good grazing land, and count-
lees herds of cattle range there during
the year. After feasting one's vision
on tnis strange phenomena, be is
hurried through Montana to Dakota,
where the bonanza farms claim his at
tention, which, with the permission of
the editor, I shall treat of in a future
article, ', Ex.
- BAILROAD WORK BEGUN.
Hallowe'en Stirs the Goldendale People up
to Begin Work.
Hallowe'en brought hilarity to some
of our neighboring towns by the side
of which The Dalles celebration was
very tame. At Goldendale, from the
amount of work accomplished, nearly
the whole town must have taken a
hand. The boys celebrated by com
mencing work on the Goldendale-Lyle
railroad. They used cord wood for ties,
and on these laid rails of 2x4 scantling
At the bank they built a switch, and
then they got all the wagons, carts,
and wheelbarrows in town and put
them on the road for rolling-stock. A
big freight wagon belonging to George
Smith had a couple of panels of picket
fence fastened on each side with log
chains, and was labeled Dresident's
car. The numberless signs distributed
over tne rolling stocn made a prize
collection. There were some other
joes indulged in that will not bear
repetition, but one who saw the rail
road says it was immense, and indicates
that the people have energy enough to
build it, if they would just take the
notion.
Bis Last Journey.
The remains of Phipfs Looney, who
died recently at Mitchell, arrived in
the city Tuesday, accompanied by
his brother, S. M. Looney and cousin
H. L. Looney. Phipfs was 22 years
old, and had been in Mitchell only a
short time. He has a brother living
at Sedalia, Mo., and the body will

Own Some Land.
Henry Miller and Charles Lux, cat
tlemen of San Francisco, confess to
owning more than 1,000,000 acres of
land in three states. This makes an
estate equal In size to the states of
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Con
necticut and Rhode Island together.
It is half the size of New York and
three times as large as New Jersey.
It is about the size of West Virginia,
and one-eighth the entire area of Cali
fornia. . It is as large as Greece with
the Ionian Isles, of which Byron
wrote. It is four times the area of
Alsace-Lorraine, over which Franee
and Germany fought. It is but little
smaller than Ireland, and half again
as large as Switzerland.
It 13 tWICO 89
large as Belgium, and one-third
the
size of England and Wales together.
These two remarkable men were born
in one of the Rhenish provinces of
Germany.

has been, used for ' over fifty years by
millions of mothers for their children

It soothes the child, softens the gums,
allays all pain, cures wind colic, and is
the best remedy for diarrhoea. Is
pleasant to the taste. Sold by drug
gists in every part of the world.
Twenty-five cents a bott,le. Its value
is uncalculable. Be sure and ask for
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, aud

. The Portlauders Not Is It.
The football game played in Port
land last Saturday between the Reli
ance team of Oakland, Calif., and the
Multnomah club's team resulted in a
complete wipe-out of the latter, the
score being 40 to 0. The Reliance
team was much heavier than the Mult
nomah, and their playing was superior
in every respect. The Oregonlans,
however, concede that the Californians
clayed a square game and that the
home team was simply out played.
