It is said that a branch road of the
Short Line will siou 1k built, extend
ing through Union and Cove to the
Wallowa. We are not informed as to
this, but should the Pino Creek mines
prove as extensive as it is thought
they will, the Short Line will doubt
leas seo their oppurtunity, and oxtond
thoir line down Snake river to Pino
creek, and through the minoral belt
east of hero to Union. Honco, via
Cove, Wallowa and Lewiston to the
Hound. This route would command
tho trade of a greater area of mining
and agricultural lands, than any other
line of railroad.

robbed, while eqming down, from Con

men on liorsohaek, v.'ho cpvered him
with their pistols, and dismounting,
seized him and took all his money,
amounting to $12-1.00, and a gold ring
which he wore, worth about !f2().
Thep tley turned his face to the gold
en West, and with a kick started linn
oil in this direction. lie arrived 'in
Baker City, but beyond aquainting
ins conntrymon wun me laeis, niaue
no complaint, considering at the pres
ent time, that there is no law fpr Chi-
namer,. He says he would know the
men. that robbed him if he ever saw
them again. Ah King is in much
trouble. He says he has packed up
his store at, L,a Grande, because he
was told to leave, and was afraid of
the hoodlums, but he don t know
where to tiyko his gopds one place
being about as bad as another. Veri

Tho Swisher horse stealing' case
was brought to a termination yoster
dav in the Baker Countv circuit court,
by thu motion for a new trial, being
overruled and senteneo of two vears
in tlie penitentiary being pronounced.
The facts of tho caso are those: In
Alay lSSt, Iloyman Swisher, of Haglc
Valley, Oregon, took a mare belong
ing to K, A. Whittakor, of tlie same
place, and drove her along with a
band of his own horses to thu state of
Nebraska, whore she was sold. A
friend of Air, Whittakor, noting under
a feeling of dutv, and right in the
mattor, informed Air. W. that his
niaro was being driven out of the
country, as soon as lie saw her in
Swisher's posession in Idaho Tv.
Buisiiess prevented the matter being
attended to at oneo. The mare was
kept track of, and subsequently an
agent was sent to Nebraska, who'pur
elmsod her for 100, and brought her
back on the cars to Baker City", Who
appeared as a silent but emphatic
witness. A great deal of interest
was manifested in the trial as tlie de
fendant is a man of considerable
means, possessing also a most unen
viable reputation, Sago Brush,

tfiaptie meeting of citizens of Joseph aty',
vicinity, met at the school house in
Joseph, to-day, to consider means, and
agree upon plans for the protection of
a ffoo road through the Wallowa can
yon. Some stirring speeches were
made against the incorporation. Res
olutions were adopted, denouncing the
incorporation, and calling upon the
County court to assert its right and
protest tho claim of the county to that
portion of its roads. It seems to be
thought by porno that it is not a "legal
coit,ty road," which may all bo so;
but granting that it is not, it must be
eotsylcrod that many private individ
uals in this valley have considerable
claim Upon that road. The county al
so has a cUpn of oyer -f2,000 upon it.
Can it ho that individual can seize
upon and lak,c so, much property and
appropriate to prhn'te uc? There cer
tainly oan he no dilleifenee in takjug
private property for public, tses and
taking public property for private
uses. If tlieie is any difi'erence in
principle, the latter is tho more
lieiniops. That road is public, prop
erty and cannot be said to be anything
else; besides the people can hold it by
prcsciiption, as much of it has been
used over ten years. Wo are certain
there is as much law in favor of its he
jug a vaJtd road as there oan be against
it. Our people area unit on this ques
tion ami are fully determined upon
protecting their rights, at all hazards.
It is well, however, that something has
stirred us up to duty. That is a hard
piece of toad to jfeep up, and expen
sive. So long as the County Com
missioners exerted themselves to keep
up the road, the Wallowa would do
nothing. Now, we have raised a sub
scription of several hundred dollars,
and tho money is being expended in a
judicious manner. The Wallowa has
done a great dea for the road, and the
commissioners Juive done a great deal
also. Wo rather think tjio Wallowa
should do a little the most.
