Four Men Shot in Effort to Capture
Mexican Hold-Up Man.
Reno, N ev., Nov. 24.— Detected as
he was holding up the Court saloon in
Battle Mountain late last night, a
Mexican broke through the door and,
running into Night Policeman. Coon,
shot the officer in the ja w ; then held
up the gathering crowd as it collected
at the scene.
Cowboys and miners
called for assistance, and rushing the
robber, were repulsed by his fire.
Deputy Sheriff Titsworth was hit in
the groin, and two others were slightly
injured.
The Mexican backed down the street,
forcing everybody in sight to follow
him. When he drew away from the
saloons he ducked into the darkness. A
suspect, seen by Deputy Sheriff Hasp,
was caught when boarding a freight
train early this morning.
The deputy
sheriff called to the man to halt, but
getting no response, shot the fellow in
the leg. The town, aroused by the out­
rages, started on a man hunt; and
farmers, hearing the shooting, came
into town with their lanterns.
They
carried these lights about with them
seeking the robber, and several times
shot at each other when they thought
they had “ flushed” the dare-devil Mex­
ican.

Eagle Valley Lands Booming.
Richland— Land buyers from all parts
of Oregon and Washington have been in
Eagle valley during the last few days
looking for farms. Few sales have been
made, but it is expected that several
will be completed soon. No land is of­
fered. for less than $100 an acre, and
the better quality is held at $200 and
$300. These figures are rather small
than large. The railroad which is be­
ing built down the Snake river is the
principal factor in causing the rush for
land in this section.
Ashland for Good Roads.
Ashland.—Judge John H. Scott,
president of the State Good Roads
league, will hold a good roads con­
vention at Ashland on Tuesday, No­
vember 23. R. P. Neil is chairman,
and H. F. Pohland, secretary, of a
permanent good roads organization
in this city. The executive committee

San Francisco, Nov. 24.— A man
hunt, extending half way around the
world, which was conducted by cable
dispatches, came to an end today when
local detectives boarded the steamer
Mongolia and arrested L. E. Knollins,
whose description is said to tally with
that of L. E. Hancock, wanted by the
authorities of North Carolina on a
charge o f embezzlement.
Hancock sailed from here Several
weeks ago and orders for his arrest
were cabled to Nagasaki. He left the
ship at Honolulu, however, and return­
ed to this city on the steamer Mongolia,
which arrived today.
Knollins denies that he is Hancock,
and says he is a member of the broker­
age firm of Courtland, Babcock & Co.,
of 44 Pine street, New York. He was
taken to the city prison pending the
arrival o f an officer from North Caro­
lina.
Condon.—The Gilliam County Im­
provement association held its first
meeting last week, in this city. The
body has been organized for the pur­
pose of securing the location of the
experimental farm station in Gilliam
county, and to further the interests of
the county.
The following persons were named as
a committee to draw up the by-laws
of the association: Hon. W. J. Mariner,
George B. Dukek, A. Meresse, H. A.
Thiessen, D. B. Thomas and M. Fitz-
maurice, with J. A. Smith as chairman.
Men from every section of the county
were present to discuss the question of
the experimental station in this county
as proposed by President Kerr, of the
Oregon Agricultural college. All were
heartily in favor of securing the 300 or
400 acres necessary for the state au­
thorities, and proposed that the land
either should be rented or bought and
given to the state to conduct the sta­
tion.
To carry the work to completion the
following persons were placed on the
executive committee: D. B. Thomas, of
Condon precinct; J. B. Goff, Lone Rock;
W. S. Wade, Rock Creek; W. J. Mar­
iner, Blalock; Oscar Matey, Ferry Can­
yon ; George B. Dukek, Mayville, and
J. L. Blalock, of Arlington, with the
following officers: George B. Dukek.
president; Charles H. Horner, secretary,
and D. B. Thomas, treasurer.
In order to be able to lease or buy
the land necessary for the station, the
organization will be incorporated under
the state laws.

Inspectors Fail to Find Any Scabbies
or Other Diseases.
Pendleton.—After two weeks’ work
11 inspectors under the direction of
Dr. S. W. McClure, of the federal
bureau of animal industry, report
that not one case of scabbies or other
disease has been found among Ore­
gon sheep. Though not a single dis­
eased sheep has been found so far,
the work o f inspection will be con­
tinued until every band in the state
has been subjected to an examination.
It is believed, however, that no scab­
by sheep will be found, though early
in the summer there were a few iso­
lated cases in Lake and Douglas
counties. These were treated as soon
as discovered.
Though Oregon sheep were prob­
ably the worst infested with scabbies
of any state in the Union two years
ago, Dr. McClure stated at that time
that he would clean up the sheep of
the state within two years, and this
inspection seems to indicate that he
has kept his promise.
Will Fortify Honolulu.
Honolulu, Nov. 24.— A detachment
o f United States engineers, under Ma­
jor Winslow, which arrived recently
on the transport Sheridan, has com­
menced the work of fortifying the
island. The first work to be done is
the preparation o f military maps. The
dredging for the large drydock to be
built at Pearl harbor and the deepen­
ing o f the channel also will begin in
the near future.
Several local con­
tractors have departed for Washington
where the bids for the dredging con­
tracts will be opened in December.

Ex-Naval Official Makes a Startling
Statement on Japan.
Ottawa. OnL, Nov. 23.— “ There is
no law for the white man In Japan.
The treaty made between Japan and
Great Britain counts for practically
nothing since the time of the school
trouble in San Francisco.”
This strong and amazing statement
was made by an ex-officer o f the Brit­
ish royal navy, who has been employed
for some years as s civil engineer by
the Japanese government and who has
just passed through this city on his
way home to England.
The information which this gentle­
man has to give with regard to the in­
dignities and inconveniences that he
says are heaped upon white men in the
mikado’s kingdom should prove a sur­
prise to those who have been accus­
tomed of late years, at least, to regard
the Japanese people as being possessed
of most friendly feelings toward the
people o f Great Britain. According
to the information he is able to fur­
nish at first hand, no white man is at
all safe in the ownership of any prop­
erty in Japan unless he becomes a nat­
uralized citizen of that country.

Standard Oil Earnings Amounted to
• 8 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 in 1607.
New York. Nov.-21.— For over five
hours yesterday John D Rockefeller,
witness for the defense in the govern­
ment suit to dissolve the Standard Oil
company, faced an unceasing fire o f
questions from the federal counsel.
Frank B. Kellogg, and when adjourn­
ment was taken until Monday the
head of the oil combine was still be-
in«» cross-examined on the charge that
the company in its early days accept­
ed rebates to the disadvantage of its
rivals.
Mr. Rockefeller’s cross-examination
will probably not be concluded until
late Tuesday, as Mr. Kellogg made it
known that he would question Mr.
Rockefeller on every detail of the
company’s business.
The enormous earning power of the
oil combination was sharply brought
out in yesterday's hearing, when Mr
Rockefeller, after stating that the
Standard had paid dividends amount­
ing to $40,000.000 in 1907, said it had
earned as much more, and that this
was added to the company’s surplus,
which was stated by the government’s
counsel to be $300.000,000. It was
further declared by Mr. Kellogg that
the company within the last eight
years has earned nearly half a billion
dollars.
