, 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.

A Umatilla County Woman Meets a
- Horrible Death..
Echo. Ore.. June-11. A verv
meager account of the killing of
Mrs. Lisle of thi3 place on the
other side of the Columbia has been
received. It is learned that she
was blown to pieces by powder, but
how it was done cannot be ascer
tained, as no report has reached
here other than she was killed by
powder.
Additional advice has been re
ceived thi owing a little more light
on the affair. Mrs. Lisle went to
the barn Monday evening to do
some light chores. In the barn
was stored a quantity of giant pow
der to be used in blasting. - No one
else was near. An explosion oc
curred in a few moments, complete
ly demolishing the barn and blow
ing the body of Mrs. Lisle to pieces.
No one will ever know what caused
the powder to ignite.
She was married on May 1 to
Chas. R. Lisle. Her maiden name
wag Minnie E. Brehm, and 'her
home was in Camas Prairie'. Af
ter the wedding, which occurred at
Camas, the young couple went to
Echo and then to a ranch' in Wash
ington just beyond the I Columbia
river, where they- were , living at
the time of the terrible accident.
Mrs. Lisle was a sistor of J. E.
Brehm, who until recently conduct
ed a meat market in Athena. A
short time before her marriage she
visited her brother's family in this
city. , ' -
" BASKET MOUNTAIN RAPISTl
A Hired Man Assault the Young

sundown to the barn to milk the

when inside the barn and succeed
ed in accomplishing his vile, pur
pose. The unfortunate girl went
crying to the house and inormed
her mother, who quickly told the
husband and son-in-law who was

hired man took to his heels, ran
down the canyon and disappeared
in the timber in the drection of

tardly deed was a young fellow of
good habits, so far as any one in
this vicinity knew. He had work-:

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

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

warehouse.
The building was 50x200 feet
and contained 240,000 pounds of
wool. Built of dry lumber, the
structure burned like tinder, and

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

ing not a building or thing of val
ue, excepting one hou3o on the lat
