The Chieftain in referring to X. 15.
Harris, now in jail at this place, on a
charge of cnhe.zlemont from the Suni
nierville bank, says: "It is well enough
to mention that many people in Grand
Rondo believe in Mr. Harris' innocence,
notwithstanding his unfortunate situa
tion." Peirce and Jlosoinan, two tramps
were arrested a few days ago on a charge
of larceny from the dwelling house of
Dick Lowery, in Pylo canyon. They

A netition is beine circulated bv J.

the great annoyance of parties living in
the county who would like to trade
here.

When Wilkins missed his camping out
fit last month, lie took the tracks and
followed the thieves about three miles
beyond the mouth of Sucker creek, in
this county, where he, Jake Mussel
and Henry Allison captured the camp
of the alleged horse thieves, while they
were out after horses. Wilkins then
took the camp outfit and animals back
to llrunenu, where he placed the ani
mals in his field, where they were on
the 2!)th ult., when these two men came
to claim them, saying that they had
been stolen from them, Mr. S. 15. Wil

.MISDIKKCTKl) WIT.
The Jury before whom Marple was
tried for the murder of 1). I. Corker, in
Yamhill county, some months ago,
brought in a verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree, but on account of
the evidence being entirely circum
stantial they recommended him to t lie
mercy of the court. This recommen
dation excites the merriment of a num
ber of our exchanges. "What mercy"
they exclaim, "could be granted the
defendant, when the only penalty is
death?" In this they show their'cal
lowuess. The jury, no doubt, were
thoroughly convinced that the defen
dant was guilty, and having, either to
turn him loose or render a verdict that
would produce a sentence of death,
they preferred tne latter adding their
recommendation of mercy, knowing
that the judge could not act on it, but
that the governor could, and would
no doubt, mitigate his sentence to im
prisonment for life. They acted hu
manely and with wisdom. Tile life of
no man should bo taken away from him
for a crime proven on purely circum
stantial evidence, and no guilty man
should be allowed to escape. "
CATIIKK TIII'M IX.
Our readers will be gratified to learn
that the V. S. grand jury have found
an indictment against H.C Owen, W.
II. Harnhart and li. V. Ankeny,
charging them with conspiracy to do
fraud the United States of large tracts
of land situated in the State of Oregon.
Owen and Harnhart. wen arrested, when
they gave $f)000 bonds each and were
allowed their liberty. Anknev is some-
where in the East. The grand jury
also found three soperate indictments
on three counts each and one on twelve
counts against Harnhart for forgery of
swamp land proofs and uttering and
transmitting the same. Mr. Harnhart
has furnished bail in the sum of.f-1000.
It is to he hoped that if guilty, a bright
and shining example will be made of
these fellows, for the benefit of thieves,
their children, and their children's
children.
AN KXCKLLEXT MACII1NK.
Mr. Chas. C. Collinberry, who hns
been in this city for some time intro
ducing his Acme washing machine,
has made arrangements to have the
machines nianuftselurod here, to avoid
the excessive freight rates on them if
put up and sent out from the East.
There can he no doubt that this ma
chine will supercede all others now in
use. The principle it is worked on is
different from any we have yet seen,
and is certainly as near correct as can
be devised. We have tested this ma
chine on two occasions and have no
hesitancy in recommending it. Mr.
Collinberry has already sold a number
in thisjeity, and thinks he will be ready
to commence manufacturing them in
about three weeks.
STOCK INSI'JX'TOJt.
The County court has appointed Mr.
Wm. Proebstol, of La Grande, as stock
inspector for I'nion county. It will be
his duty to inspect all stock in the
couuty,;suspected of disease, by the first
day of June. From this time on any
person who drives or ships stock into
or out of the county, without a certifi
cate from the inspector, makes him
self liable to a heavy fine.

The warm weather is taking oil' the

Cornucopia has a man that tips
the beam at 27o pounds. He has only
lost 11!.") pounds fioni his former weight.
On the Sth inst. there was a social
dance, in Cornucopia. Everybody en
joyed themselves. Mrs. Warinnergave
the supper. Another dance at Allen
town on the 15th.
The permanency of the lodges of

ledge very rich in minerals.
A lucky escape from lire happened
last Thursday. Alberson A: Gaylord
have had some lime stored in a log
building, directly in the rear of their
store building, which sot lire to the
boxes that contained it, on account of
water running into the building and
coining in contact with the lime.
Luckily it happened in the day time,
when it was discovered and the lire
soon extinguished.
'In an editorial in the Scorr of the
7th inst., commenting on Prof. Luce's
letter, you say the only practical route
for a road (in the canyon from Pino to
Cornucopia,) is on the east side of
the creek. 1 think you must have been
misinformed, as it is an impracticable
route and could not possibly be built
with the appropriation that we would
be likely to get from the county, as for
a great distance theie would have to
be a load made by blasting in the solid
rock of a steep bluir, ami another ica
son is that the road would be on the
opposite side of the creek from all the
principle mines, and from both Allcn
town to Cornucopia, I take the liber
ty to say that there is not a person in
camp that wants the road to be built
on that side for thocntire way. There
is a petition now , before the Coun
ty court to run the road about half way
up the canyon on the oast side and
thou cross back to the west side. I
understand there is another petition to
run the road all the way on the oast,
side. In this matter it is presumable
that the court will consider the inter
ests of the people from this section.
