P. M. KIRKLAND, Prop'r., , CIRCUIT COURT. Two More Men Receive Their Sen- ence. Hugh Medlock's future for the next three and a half years was decided by Judge Fee yeeterday, when he passed sentence upon the convicted man. James Smith who stole a watch from Henry Farming's person, was sent below for two and a half years. These men will be taken to Salem at the end of the week. -. After arguments before the jury, the case was giveu them for a ver dict, and one was handed in this afternoon, that Henry Parr was guilty as charged in the indict ment. Judge Fee will ; pronounce sentence on Saturday morning. . The case against Henry Joseph followed the trial of Parr and' con sumed the attention of the court during yesterday afternoon. Jos eph, it will be remembered, was one of the three men who tried to board a train at Athena during the spring and was put off the car by the officials. Not succeeding in this attempt he sought immediate revenge by stoning the car and throwing a large stick at conductor Wills, The three men were placed under arrest and locked up in the Athena jail, from which they ef fected their escape, only to be re captured at Weston. Upon exam ination two of the party were sen tenced to a short term of imprison ment and Joseph held over to the grand jury. The grand jury made its final re port Wednesday, and returned not true bills in the case of Al Back man, arrested on the charge of lar ceny of a gelding, and also in that against W. 0. Warren, arrested for larceny of public money. Frank Morris, who was held for burglary, was likewise discharged, no indict ment having been returned against him. The Lombard-Chick adultery case was brought up and continued until next term. Hugh Robio's case has been con tinued to next term.

W. HOIXIS, . CUNNINGHAM RANCHES BURNED, A Fierce Conflagration Destroys Val uable Property, Chas. Cunningham, known as the sheep king of Umatilla county, has again been the victim of in cendiarism, this being the fourth year he has suffered large losses ap parently through the work of en emies, says tne irioune. word was received early Monday morn ing that uunmnguam s buildings had been burned and a consider able loss sustained. Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham were in Pendleton at the time and only able to obtain partial particulars. It is learned that men employed at the Beech creek ranch, awoke early Monday to find the house, barns and out buildings ablaze. Flames were ar ising from several different sources and so well under way that any ef fort to control the fire would have been futile. Barns, houses, hay, shearing sheds and other property were rapidly consumed, only one building escaped total destruction. A large amount of wool which was stored outside of the barn was dis covered on fire but through the ef forts of employes the flames were extinguished and the wool saved. Boon after this had been accom plished men on the ranch were surprised by the approach ot part- on Berch creek, bringing news of another misfortune of similar char acter. Sunday night about 11 o'clock they were awakened by fire and discovered that nearly all the build ings were burning. Nothing could be done to avert destruction and the conflagration swept on consum ing a barn which contained about 1500 head of thoroughbred bucks, the best breed sheep owned on the Cunningham ranch. The men stated that they had followed the tracks of riders from Butter creek to the other farm and the belief prevails that the incendiaries visit ed Butter creek at midnight and re peated then atrocious : crimes at daybreak upon the other-; property. Insurance is carried-in at least three companies, am ounting in all to fully f 25,000. A The East Oregonian of Tuesday has the following additional par ticui?rs: Over 500 sacks of wool 240,000 pounds are burning fiercely at Charles Cunningham's Birch creek sheep ranch, three miles beyond Pilot Rock. This great pile of wool is a seething mass of flames, which at times burst out and rise to a height of 20. feet. The wool has been burning since 3 o'clock this morning, for at that hour came the human fire fiends the second time and after applying quantities of coal oil, held a match at different places and then mount ed their horses for a hasty retreat. Mr. Cunningham was sleeping in the orchard, about 100 feet away, with seven wool haulers, who were to commence this morning to haul the wool to Pendleton. They had made their bunks on the ground in the midst of the desolation of the fire of the night before. Bright flames suddenly shot up and cast , their lurid light against the dark 4ot . . . . til iik Athena, Oregon, hills surrounding the ranch home site and tho men sprang to their feet. They learned in an instant what was transpiring aud set im mediately at work to find whither had gone the scoundrels who had thus wreaked a devilish vengance and caused such dire dovastatian of of property. Horse tracks were discovered and trailed as far as Waugh's place, one mile down tho road toward Pendleton. Here ihe trail was lost and the men returned to stand in helplessness and wit ness the conflagration at the wool warehouse. The building was 50x200 feet and contained 240,000 pounds of wool. Built of dry lumber, the structure burned like tinder, and ... . r 1 IViA l.flt r f f imKAM 1 1 been consumed, there was not left a vestige of the famous Cunnmg--ham Birch creek ranch plant, ex cepting that the wool was not yet turned to ashes and was but start on its two weeks' 6teady burning. On the Birch creek and Butter creek ranshes are now left stand ing not a building or thing of val ue, excepting one hou3o on the lat ter place, saved from the fire on Monday morning.
