DAVIS PARTY ARRIVE8 AT AT
WATER VISIT, AT LODI AND
TURLOCK.
Following Is the conclusion of Ar
va Davis' letter telling of the over
land journey from Enterprise to
Central California; '
September 26th we traveled to Dry
lake, 8 mlle3 from Burney Valley. It
has been raining every minute since
we came here. I want to mention
about the snow. We find here sever
al patches along the road which re
minded us of Wallowa; the name of
this mountain is Magee.
September 27 we left Dry lake and
traveled through, Kintuck at half
past eight, and drove on to another
small place called Whitmore. We
traveled through timber all day today
and we all delighted In looking at
the very tall pine trees, with their
pine burrs hanging from them, some
of which were 12 and 15 inches long,
very much larger and longer1 than
those we've seen in Washington and
Oregon., But we were glad when we
drove out of the timber, where day
light seemed brighter.
. September 28th we drove to Ander
son and camped over night. "We
find the weather much wanner, as
we are now in Sacramento Valley.
September 29th we left Anderson
and drove to Red Bluff. We found
it to be a very pretty place. It Is
situated on the Sacramento river. We
camped over night here. The popu
lation here Is 13,000.
September 30th we drove to Chico,
42 mil from Red Bluff. We found
this to be a very nice little town
also. It Is trimmed up nicely with
foliage and has several nice city
parks. We campei there over night.
October 1st we all arose early, ex
pecting to get an early start, but
soon found we had a sick horse. In
stead of starting on Mr. Davis went
and got a veterinary, who treated
it for a founder, and soon after it
began to grow better. Because of
the horse not being able to travel
we remained at this place two nights,
and enjoyed ourselves Immensely
while we were there, taking hi the
city park, vlnyards, groves, etc.
October 3. We now think our horse1
getting a good deal better, we will
undertake to travel on. We left Chico
about 2 o'clock In the afternoon. It
looking a good deal like rain. We
drove to Mr. Gum's- ranch In Sacra
mento Valley, Jurat fourteen miles
from Chico.
October 4 we left Mr. Gum's ranch
and drove to MarysivlUe, which was
40 miles from Mr. Gum's. Perhaps
you will think us hard hearted to
drive our sick horse so far. We began ,
to try to find feed for our horses,'
and a camping place at 4 o'clock,
but every fellow we would ask would
telli ate to drive on to the next place,

RADICAL DECISION BY; SUPREME
COURTl REVERSING AND RE
MANDING EMMONS CASE
Two Important eases appealed from
this couniy have bean reversed and
remanded by the Supreme court
the State vs. Al Emmons, and Long
fellow vs. Huffman.
The Emmons case was for a vio
lation of the local option law. He
was found guilty by a Jury at the
May term and 83ntenced to' serve 30
days in the county jail and pay a
fine of $300.
The Supreme court has made a de
cision of great moment on the local
option law in reversing this case, de
claring the indictment must allege
that the giving away of liquor was
with the Intent to evade the law
and In eTfect stating that giving a
person a drink in a purely social
way Is not a violation of the law.
Burleigh & Boyd were Emmons'
attorneys.
The facts in the Longfellow vs.
Huffman case, are well known by
our readers, It having been in the
courts for several years. This la the
second time it has been to the Su
preme court. The suit is for the dif
ference in the value of lambs that
were to pay for sheep bought by the
Huffman of N. C. Longfellow, lambs
having Increased largely In value
while the Huffman paid the note
given for the sheep. The case was
last tried here in May, the judge di
recting the Jury to return a verdict
for the defendants. This verdict is
now reversed and the case remand
ed for new trial. D. W. Sheahan is
attorney for Mr. Longfellow, while
J.. S. Hodgin and Judge Crawford
of LaGrande appeared for the defendants.
