Sentence to Be Passed by Judge Lowell on
Tuesday.
East Oregoniun, under date of Jan. 27th.
Here is the verdict as returned at 11 :30
this forenoon in tbe Ouuningbnna murder
ttinl:
"We, t he trial jny in tbo above enti
tled crimal action, find the defendant, C.
0. Cunningham, guilty of murder in the
second degree.
"Gko. D. PbrmlKR, Foreman."
It whs at 11 :30 o'clock that word cRtne
to Judge Lowell that the Cunningham
jury, of which the memb-ra were: Geo.
D. Ptibler, foreman; Z W. Lock wood,
M. M. Mi rick, Angus Cameron, W. H.
Snyree, L. A. Christopher, Julius Hude
man, Frauk K. Sherman, A. A. Crawford,
J. B. Keunedy, A. T. Perkins and J. 8.
Manning, had agreed on a verdiot. They
b id breu out 21 hours, and people had
begun to thiok it was to be a "bung
jury."
Attorneys were hurriedly sent for and
the foreman , Mr. Feebler, handed to the
oourt the verdict. It was by him handed
to County ClerK Burroughs, and read
amidst the most profound silence.
When the words "murder in tbe sec
ond degree" were henrd, there was a
feeling of relief on the part of all. Mr.
CnuuitighRm, the defendant, whose life
had bung in tbe b ilauue for five days,
breathed a sigh of relief, and every one
in the court room appeared satisfied.
Ganeral expressions were heard and
many crowded to tin? jury room, whence
the j iryraen repaired wheo exiuiaed by
the judge, and they were without exoep
tiun assured that they had done their
duty by the community Bnd tbeprisoner.
Thomas Fitzgerald, for the defense,
a d for 11 day or two in v. bich to file
any tuotiotis relating to the case which
might be deemed advisable after due
oonHideratiou, find Judge Lowell said be
would defer poesing sentence until Tues
di.v iifxt, at 1:!10 o'clock, granting three
days, Hnnduy hiding not ennuted.
At that time, than, Judge Lowell will

A request, 1)ad been plaoed from Frank
Hull, of the Milton E;Kle, (lutmiiigh im's
home, for tbo enrlieel possible word to he
seat there by telephone. This was doue
i umtdmtily upon the yerdiot being reu
dared, and Mr. Hull replied over the
'pnone wire :
"Well, that will ba satisfactory to peo
ple here. It was, after all, the wise
oour-ie for the jury to pn'soe."
Never beh re has a capital oase been
tried iD thiso innly that went so smoothly
and Oiiised so little friction among the
various attirneys. Throughout, there
was coneoientiotn work done by the law
yers, aud most paiustakiug cure by the
presiding judge. But the usual sparring
and sometimes acrimony was entirely
absent.
The apparent relief experienced by Mr,
Cunningham when the verdiot was read
was ootitradioted a few momenta later
when he was heard to say that be was
not satif-fled. He would have preferred
a verdiot of murder in the first degree,
aud then, said he, he would be out of ad
his troubles.

SURE THING PEOPLE.
Hut the Swede Fooled Them With an Empty
Weapou.
East Oregonian.
Zneth Houser, United 8tates marshal,
was to Heppner recently. He states that
last wees- a oouple of "sure thing" men
boarded the traiu here, with tickets to
Umatilla. A Swede was also on the
train, aud they struok np an acquaint
ance with him. After conversing a short
time, they produced a cheok for 871 on
a Spokane bank. Just before they
reached Umatilla one of tbe ooufldenoe
men wanted to know how much money
tbe Swede had with bim, and the Swede
prooeeded to display bis worldly wealth,
which amounted to t40. He looked
"easy game," and they offered bim this
$71 check, also a grip, to bold as seoor
ity. Just as the trait) reaohed the switch
above Umatilla one of them jumped off,
aiyiug that he was going to get some
things at that station. Tbe other ooufl
denoe man stayed 00 the train with the
Swede, to see that be did not leave tbe
oar. A little wbile after tbe train was in
motion again, he also took French leave.
With this sudden farewell the Swede be
gao to grow suspicious, opened the grip
and found the contents to consist of
some bricks and wet rags. Tbe Swede
possessed a shotgun, and, taking this
weapon, he left the train at Castle Rock.
From there he took the next train to
Umatilla. He arrived at his destination
late in tbe night, and, iu the morning,
started in pursuit of his "friends." As
soon as be discovered thera they started
to run, but be held tbem up and recov
ered his money. Then, opening his
guo, he displayed to them aa unloaded
weapon.
AllliKSTEl) AT BURNS.
James Bliaw and Leslie Konie are Held for
Train Robbery.
Tbe Burns Herald says the arrest of J.
Shaw by Sheriff MoKinnon, which took
plaoe yesterday afternoon, oansed quite
a ripple of ixoitement when it became
kuowo that the charge ag'iinet him was
train robbery.
Immediately after he had been taken
into otistody Sheriff Mo Kinnon, nooom
pmiied by George bizmore and Mat
Brentm, started o,ut after Leslie Buuie"
who was ot the home of a relative near
Harney who wns wanted on the same
ohnrge. They got their man without
any resistance and lodged bim in j lil
where both will be held until tbe author
ities from Nevada arrive.
The two men are charged with robbing
a Central Pnoifio train near Winnemnoa,
Nevada, on July Htb, 1808. Sheriff Mo
Kinnon and Deputy Motliershead located
the men here soon after the robbery and
were ready ta arrest them as soon as the
railroad dete otives who were at work on
the case obtained the required evidenoe,
which they now think they have. Two
detectives were at Burns last November
l inking the matter up, but at that time
tbey did not have ennngh evidenoe to
convict, consequently left without caus
ing any arrest.
James Shaw tallies with the descrip
tion of one J. J. Smitb, whioh was re
ceived by the sheriff last July.
Leslie Boiiie tallies with another de-
sorii tiou, also received by tbe sheriff at
the same time, of one Ohas. C. Wahoner,
Shaw is the man supposed to have
held up Postmaster Hkeltou at Westfall
a few weeks ago, but tbe evidenoe is not
strong enough to warrant his being held
on that charge.
Sheriff Laoey has bad tbe description
of tbe above men for some tjme, sod has
been on the lookout for tbem for tbe past
four mouths, bearing that they were
located in Harney county.

OREGON WOOLGROWERS MEET.
A Large Attendanr.e and Much Interest in the
Grazing Question.
The Dalles Chronicle January 25th.
The Oregon Wool Growers Association
met in a speoial meeting Ibis morning in
the Club rooms. There was a large at
tendance of stockgrowers, some of tbem
ouming sixty and seventy miles in order
to attend. It tbe abseooe of the. presi
dent, George A. Young, wbo is now in
the east, the members were called to
order by Fred W. Wilson, seoretary of
the association, who stated that tbe
meeting Lad been summoned at the re
quest of Capt. 8. B. Ormsby, speoial
forestry agent of the department of the
interior. Capt. Ormsby bad written that
the department had oalled upon bim for
a report as to the best plan to regulate
the summer grazing of sheep io tbe
Cascade Reserve and before making bis
report be wished to learn tbe views and
suggestions ot the sheep owners whose
bands graao in the Casoade mountains.
Mr. A. R. Thompson, ot this oity, was
chosen temporary ohairman end a tele
gram from Oapt. Ormsby was then read
stating that be would not be able to
reaoh the city until tbe afternoon train.
Tbe association prooeeded, took up some
of tbe phases of the range question and
tbe morning was Bpenl in a lively and
intelligent discussion of this important
topic. It seemed from the general ex
pression ot the members present that tbe
sheepmen are anxious to have no mis
understanding with the government re
garding the Cascade Reserve and to
oonform to tbe rules and regulations
whioh the government will provide.
Among tbe topics disonssed were in
quiring whether it would be batter to
allot the range in eeveralU or issue per
mits to the sheepmen to oy'.jpy at large
those portions of tbe reserve wbioh have
been thrown open for grazing; wbat
obarge would be a reasonable one to
exact from stockmen as rental tor the
grazing lands; whether it would be
better to allot tbe range at auction to
tbe highest bidder or allow those who
oocupied tbe different territories last
season to have the preference in obtain
ing the respective portions again during
the coining summer.
Various opinions were expressed by
the members present, but all wished to
learn from Captain Ormsby wbat the
intentions of the goyernmeut are before
taking decided action, "
A letter from State Representative A.
S. Koberts, wbo is now in Salem, was
read expressing bis regret at not being
able to attend the convention, and ex
pressing the hope that the association
would prepare some memorial asking
that the national congress take some
notion whioh would determine upou tbe
leasing system and whioh would state
the rights of tbe government and the
lessees so that tbey would be fixed and
certain.
Many wool buyers from different
points were present, thongb there is no
ohange in the tone of tbe market.
Among tbe members present were: H.

flimsy laces thai oould be blown sway
with a puff of tbe breath these are some
of the many things to be seen.
Nor less interesting are Ibe lights and
shadows of human nature as depicted by
the various members of tbe moving
throng; the flashes of wit from tbe fair
ones in oharge of the bubbling humor of
those not schooled io restraining their
feelings.
Then, too, there are speoial musical
programs, as well as a variety of other
attractions, eaob evening and afternoon.
Tbe increased attendance shows toat
tbe public is beginning to appreciate the
fair. Portland people may be slow in
taking bold of anything, for tbe reasco
that they are oritioal in their judgment,
but onoe a favorable verdiot ia given,
from that time tbe success of any enter
prise is certain.
Saturday evening tbe attendance waa
larger than that ot any other sinoe the
opening.
For one prioe of admission the visitor
can see enough for a solid evening's en
tertainment, and for a dollar be can see
everything in tbe building and bave sev
eral dollars' worth ot fun. Tbe truth of
the matter is that people are furnished
amusement for contributing to oharity.
One of tbe features Saturday evening
was tbe singing of the "Volunteer's
Farewell," by Walter Craig, tbe well
known Scottish baritone. Tbe song
made a decided bit, as it has every time
it has been sung in Portland or else
where. It is now being sung in Chicago
aud New York, and 4Ir. Gibson, the looal
composer, is reoeiving a great deal ot at
tention io oonseqaence. He accompa
nied Mr. Craig on tbe piano Saturday
evening. After each verse the singer waa
applauded and upon oonoluding recalled
tor an enoore. Mr. Craig sang tbe "Vol
unteer's Return," another one of Mr.
GibBon's pieoes.
