Sunday evening Sum Tront whs
killed nt the Marion Jack place south
of Havana Statiou. Tront. had return
ed from the ball game nt Pendleton)
and was rugogod in'lyinp moles ij
tho barn, wheu, the supposition is
that hn was pqneezed belwe-n two of
them and that Ins death was preoipi
tated by beait failure. No marks
weie found on bin), save a slight one
ou the bead, which it is thought was
made when he fell to the ground.
Another farm hand heard Trout cry
nfcd when he reached his side, Tront
was lying bebiud the males nnd diad
while being carried to the house. Dr.
Smith of Pendletou, attributed the
caase1Q.,deatb,,to .beaxt failure, and
said that under ordinary circumstances
the squeeze would not have pruduoed
death.
Saui Tront was about 35 years of
nge, and until recently was employed
by A. B. MoEweu. He was well
known in Athena where he bad many
warm friends.
HORSES ABE SCARCE
Breeder's Gazette Reviews the Situa
tion With Alarm.
A recent number of tbeBredeer's Ga
zette, says of horse conditions in-tbe
United States: Where is the great
crop of colts that the phropbets told
us would mature in 1906? When horse
breeders began to breathe again in 1898
and to bceome general in 1899, ex
panded in 1900 and still more largely
followed in 1901, we were assured
by many seers of owl like vision that
by the year of grace 1906 ther would
be a plethorio over supply of horses
aud that prices would ouco more have
fallen below the point of profit.
Now here we are in that year,
! prices ate on the highest level, take
i them all through, ever Known, aud the
shippers are bunting high and low,
wearing out' shoe leather in great
quantities and though seeking many
horses finding fe. Obviously the
prophets have erred somewhere. They
are now without honor in any couutij
so far as the horse business is con
cerned. Not so loug ago it was confidently
stated by a certain species of the
genus calamity howler that "we had
gone throngb the period of rcarcity
aud not known it." Perhaps we did
travel along such a line, but, if we
did not know it, it could not hurt ns.
I The actual fact is that whatever may
be said of the past, the present horse
market, looks awf nl good to a man up
a tree. Tbousauds of four-year-olds
that are not yet "bard horses," in the
language of the trade, and tberefote
not fit to torn to work in the city
streets, and are being sold each week
in all the great marts; a great many
tbree-year-olds are being marketed
aud even two-year-olds are passing
throngb the auction sales at all the
leading centers of trade.
Diligent inqniry elicits the most
contradictory views as to the supply of
colts and fillies Got yet 3 years old but
it is trne that if the present rate of
borrow from Peter to pay Paul that
is, the drawing on not only one bnt
two or three successive crops of foals
to meet the demand of the present, we
must bump into the stone wall of an
under supply sooner or later, and it
surely looks as though things would
be worse than they are now.

NEW PLATERS HEBE
Yclluw Kldf Dropped Two Giium to
Walla Walls "Boogteri."
The Yellow Kids dropped two
games to the Walla Walla "Boosters,"
and the Garden City is now ono game
to the good.
Saturday's game here was a fine
exhibition of ball playing and though
Walla Walla shut the Kids out by the
score of 3 to 0, every run was an
earned one. The team gave Marquis
perfect support and that be did not
win the game was due to the luck that
perched on the Walla Walla tanner,
'more than anything else. Three
different times with one man out and
one man at first base, the Kids knock
ed the ball into a double play that
each time retired the side.
Sunday's game at Pendleton, went
to the "Boosters" in quite a different
manner by the score of 1 to 8. Wil
lard did not receive the support ac
corded Marquis. In the first chapter
the Kids brought Knapp over tho
plate, and up to the sixth inning the
Kids played perfect ball and held
v I
MMUlUAWMHMMiMMMMislii
Walla Walla to a shut out game.
Then by a combination of errors aud
bits Walla Walla "boosted" in three
runs. In tho eighth, five more runs
were made.
The Nordeans have been released
and three new men will appear in the
lineup at the games in La Grande
Saturday and Sunday.

UfcATILLA SHEEPMEN PROTEST
DIVISION OF RANGE.
File Claims for Recognition Allege
Oregon If en Weref Wonted
in Allttnnnt. :
Fifty Orrgrn Bluet ir.i n, largely from
liuialilla couiity, were present at the
nieoriun culled in Wallu Walla by the
chief r;uigerNtoiuvm;igate applioa
s for ntiigo ou the Weuuha forest
r .-erve llel'l siuo the allotment of tbo
lunge lai-t Decern ber oud to protests
mud.! by Uiuatillu county stockmen.
It wuk made pluiu bySupeviotend
u"4. U. B. Sheller that this was iu
uo eus i a continuation ' of the meet
ing of lust ' December. This meeting
'o'r. Shiller stated was not called to
reconsider the allotments, as the range
was already fully ocoupied and no
additional stock would be permitted
uukv a portiou alreariy assigned was
withdrawn.
Colonel J. H. Raley, tbe Pendletou
attorney, was present and preseuted
the case to the UmuLillu ' stookmeu,
who he maintained were not getting
wbut they were entitled to. He did
uot charge bad faith or unfair treat
ment by the chief rauget or any other
oflleials. He claimed tbe titockmen
of Oregon were not getting tbe rights
iu tbe state to which they were , en
titled and that Washington stockmen
were occupying the range in Oregou
which properly belonged to residents.
He asked for an extension of this meet
ing until next Tuesday to allow time
tor the preparation of affidavits set
ting forth tbe true conditions which he
desired to submit to the ohief ranger.
Ho was assured by the superintendent
that no action would be taken at this
time that would prejudice the rights
ot bis clieuts aud that his right to
appeul to the department would not
be affected by auy action tokeu by
tumor tbo chief ranger but would
probably be rejected iu other words if
anything iu tbe way of grunting ad
ditional range iu this lesorve was
done it would huve to come through
the depaufcmeut at Wat-hingtoii.
J. M. Burgees president of the Cun
ningham Lund co in puny, submitted
un uUiduvit sluling tuut while be had
made a application at the December
meeting to grazo only 1940 sheep, bis
coiipuuy desired to feed 7000 head on
the public domain. .It stated that
the uorapnuy owned 20,000 acres of
land iu Umatillu aud Morrow counties
upon which about 19,000 aie fed. Mr.
Burgess claims prior rights in the re
serve fiom tbe fact that Charles
Cauiiingbani company, occupying the
range for 15 years, grazing from 4500
to 7000 sheep ouch year.
J. S. Hosld"s protested that because
be bad beeu limited to 1600 sheep
when he had applied for range for
2600 ewes aud thiir inorease. The
Hoskius of which ho is a member owu
500 ncies of luud near the reserve and
ranged from 4000 to E000 sheep on the
reserve for years.,
Iw stating the case Colonel Raley
said that he did not believe that the
reserve officials intended to discrim
inate, but thought the committee was
to blame in making the allotment as
it did last , December, beoause ' they
were iguoiant'of the Weuaba reserve
and had mado a mistake in classifying
the sheepmen of Washington and Ore
gon, some of which weie placed in
class A wbiob should have beeu iu
class B according to tbe rules of the
department. In this class men reside
at a consideraple distance from the re
serve, but have for several years
grazed tbeirflooks on tbe public range.
His chief objection however, was that
40,000 Washington sheep had been
given grazing privileges this year,
while a similar number of Oregon
sheep hud been denied tbo privilege,
although they bad fed for many years
ou tbe range.
Superintendent Sheller stated that
the government took uo cognizance of
state boundaries in tbe allotment of
forest reserve rango, aud he doubted
if the department would make auy
distinction if an appeal was taken.
But this will probably be done.
