It will nil be politics now for
the next three weeks. The
world's series has boon won and
there's nothing olso to interfere.
Tho attempted assassination of
Col. Roosevelt is regretted by all.
It is deplorable that we have such
creatures in our land, as no man
in public lifo is safe. No good is
accomplished through such meth
ods and had Mr. Roosevelt been
killed it would have made no
change in the political situation
of the country.
Oregon his -report to tho County
Court, stating tho matters which
ho found in his audit of tho var
ious county ofllces. The report
covers the period from July 0,
1903 to December 30, 1910, but
with regard to the books of tho
County Sheriff's office it does not
purport to cover any mntters
other than tho tax roll. The re
port is dated January 3, 1911 and
hence it is not recent. It is tho
report of the last audit made of
tho sheriff's office. Mr. Richard

to this audit for as before stated
it does not mention civil mileage
foos.
Mr. Tom Allen, the predecess
or to Mr. Richardson in the
sheriff's office, collected tho fees
provided for in tho foregoing
quoted section of statute and paid
them over to tho County Treas
urer as is shown by tho records
of both the County Treasurers
and County Clerks offices. In tho
month of May 1905 five receipts
were issued to Mr. Allen for civil
mileage fees.

NOTICE -
A. K. IUcharnson Answered And
A Full Explanation De
manded Of Illm
The present County Sheriff of
Harney County, in a statement
published in the last issue of the
Harney County News, accuses
me of having stated that he has
failed to turn in to the proper
county officer civil mileage fees
which he has collected. That I,
as one of his opponents, have not
sufficient knowledge of the laws
and duties of the sheriff's office
to make a good and efficient offi
cer. That I am endeavoring to
foist falsehood upon the voting
public. He further states that
the books of his office have recent
ly been experted by William
Stirling who, he implies, found
the books of his office in all way
kept in accordance with law.
I have said, and I do now say,
that Mr. A. K. Richardson, the
present County sheriff, has failed
to comply with the law relating
to civil mileage fees, and I sub
mit the following as proof of my
contention.
Section 3129 of Lord's Oregon
Laws, provides as follows; "The
sheriffs of the several counties of
Oregon shall be required to col
lect in advance the following
fees in all civil cases, and to pay
the same over to the several
county treasurers at the end of
every month, with an itemized
statement showing the cases from
which such fees were collected, i submitted
The Court shall include in its
judgment against the losing par
ty, as costs in the case, the
amounts so paid by the prevail
ing party to the sheriff: For
means" some mileage. If Mr.
Richardson has failed to collect
these fees then he should admit
that ho has failed to properly ad
minister the duties of his office.
In any event the tax-payers and
voters of Harney county are en
titled to know just what has been
done bv Mr. Richardson in this
matter.
By law he receives a salary of
$2,400.00 per year. Since Sep
tember 1911 he has received from
the County Court of Harney
County the sum of $3,86G.99
which after the 'deduction of his
salary of $2,400.00 leaves a bal
ance of $1,400.99 which amount
means some extravagance the
salary of the office being but
$2,400.00.
Both as a taxpayer and a can
didate for office who has been
falsely accused of falsehood I be
lieve that I have a right to de
mand full explanation from Mr.
Richardson. I demand that his
disclosure be made through the
press of Harney County, and that
in sufficient time before election
so that I may reply to the same.
The foregoing matters are all of
record and every voter has a right
to examine the said records.
Will Mr. Richardson please ex
plain how he administers the civil
mileage law? Will he further
explain why his office takes such
large county expenditure when
he makes part of his independent
platform his economical adminis
tration of the office he now
holds?
The foregoing is respectfully
to the votere of Har-
each mile necessarily traveled in
Berving any civil process or sub
poena, ten cents; provided, that
no charge shall be made for con
structive mileage in any case."
.Under the foregoing quoted sec
tion of law a failure to turn civil
mileage fees over to the treasurer
is1 a failure to comply with the
law, but as I wish to giro Mr.
Rjchardson the benefit of the
doubt in this matter I have only
claimed, and I only claim, that he
has not collected civil mileage
fees which however, is a failure
to comply with the law.
'I have in my possession the
certificate of which the following
Jsia cepy:
CERTIFICATE.
' "I, Simon Lewis, County Treas
urer of Harney County, Oregon,
do hereby certify that during my
term of office as said County
Treasurer no civil mileage fees
have been paid over to me in
said' Treasurer by the Sheriff of
said County of Harney, nor has
any statement been rendered to
me as said Treasurer showing
that no civil mileage fees were
collected by said Sheriff.
- Given under my hand this Ifilh
day of October, 191Si.
SIMON LEWIS,
County Treasurer of Harney
County Oregon."
To show that Mr. Richardson is
not conversant with the matters
relative to his office, and that ho
has not been exactastohis state
ment relating to tho exporting of
his books I offer tho following
facts.
On January 3 1911, Mr. William
Stirling filed in the office of the
County Clerk of Harney County,
ney County in the hope that they
will look into the above matters
for themselves so that they may
be fully advised that the conten
tion I make is correct, and for
the further reason that they be
fully advised at the time they
make their choice for the Sheriffs
office at the polls.

A SUDDEN DEATU.
Thomas Dawson, aged 73 years
died at the home of his son in
Sunset yesterday at noon. His!
death was very sudden and no
doubt caused from heart disease,
as he was apparently in good
health just a short time before.
He had gone to the mail box a
distance of two miles in the morn
ing and after reading the mail ho
went out to throw some dirt on
the cellar where tho dogs had
scratched it dff, being accompani
by his little granddaughter. In
a short time the little girl came
in and told her mother that grand
pa was very sick. Mrs. Dawson
went out, she being tho only other
person at homo at tho time, and
assisted him into the house and
later persuaded him to lie down.
The old gentleman did not Btay
in bed but came again into the
other room and sat down. Ho
said he felt very queer and fear
ed he was gdng to die. Mrs
Dawson again persuaded him to
go to his room but he said his legs
would not act right and he would
have to crawl. He attempted to
go to his room with the assistance
of Mrs. Dawson but fell and ex
pired immediately.
Mr, Dawson came hero with
his son, W. R. Dawon and family,
a few years ago and had since
made his homo with them. De
ceased was an estimable old gen
tleman and was highly respected
by all his acquaintances.

Winter Will be n Mild One.
The old-timo Indians of Hood
River say the winter will bo very
mild this year The prediction
is based on the fact thnt there
are very few acorns on tho oak
trees in the Hood River Valley
this season. Old Indian George
Chinadere, who has lived in Hood
River all of his life and who is
now nearly 100 years old, says
scarcity of acorns has nhvays
been an unfailing sign of a mild
winter with the Indians as long
as he can remember and that the
tribesmen always act on this sign
in securing winter fuel and food
stuffs. Acorns are tho principal
fall food for the squirls and bear
that abound in the hills surround
ing the valley and they lay in
large stores for hard winters. -Ex.

The trial of tho Bucklann boys
and Burbank Clay for tho killing
of Marshal Stroud at Hnrnoy has
occupied tho circuit court nil this
week. There "was considerable
difficulty in securing a jury nnd
it took several days to comploto
it. The testimony is about all in
now and it it expected tho caso
will bo submitted to tho jury dur
ing tho day. Tho jurors arc: L.
M. Furry, A. R. Porter, James
Bonnet, Sylvester Smith, Paul
Finite, II. M. Hibbard, W. A,
Welly, D. W. Cox, C. V. Reed,
W. S. Riddle, foods Schwartz,
T. II. Short.
The Times-Herald has not tho
space to give tho testimony of
this caso nB there wero mnny wit
nesses on both sides. G. II. Ma
theny, who was indicted with tho
defendants on the chnrgo of
murdering Stroud, gavo evidence
for tho state which was very
damaging to the defense, as he
testified that tho murder had
been planned before nnd gnvo
details. When tho defenso took
the stand some of tho witness
testified that itwasMathony who
killed tho marshal with a 30-30
rille.
The caso is being fought hard
by tho representing counsel, Mil
ler &. Chczem appearing for the
defense and District Attorney
McCulloch, Deputy C. II. Lcon
ard and Geo. Sizemoro aro pro
secuting. Every inch of ground
is being carofully fought for by
the attorneys and it is likely con
siderable time will be tnken in
arguing the case beforo it is sub-
.mitted.
! Wo understand the trial of
Otto Lowell, who is also indicted
for the killing, will go on immed
iately following tho present trial.
