he is right.
An enormous amount of Gilliam coun

their crop. '
L. W. Darling has completed his

Now it is asserted that there are no
more than 12,000 legal voters in Multno

Herman Seekamp has been troubled
for some time with lung complaints.
He experts to spend about a year at va
rious points on the coast, with a view to
receiving benefit by such change. At
present he is stopping at the Quimby ho
tel, Portland, to which address he de
sires his mail sent.
The news of Judge Bradshaw's elec
tion was hailed with delight by his nu
merous friends in this county. He has
succeeded in making himself very popu
lar throughout the 7th district, which
accounts for the manner in which he ran
ahead of his ticket. His majority over
Watkins is about 200.
Misses Daisy and Dora Downing left
Tuesday for a conple of weeks visit to

ticularly in Polk county, their former

Even newspaper men are liable to
make mistakes. The Gwm had been
under the impression that the large new
livery stable was being built by George
Knox, alone, but Mont Ward is part
ner in the concern, and has leen from
the first. When finished this will be
the largest stable in the county.
The Globb thankfully acknowledges
receipt of an elegantly printed card from
the Sacred Heart Academy at Salem,

cises which will take place to-day (Fri
day) at 9:80 a. m. Only two ladies will
graduate, Miss Birdie Downing of Con
don, and Miss Eflio Young of Eugene.
The vote received by Hon. A. 8. Ben
nett for supreme judge in this and ad
joining counties was very complimentary
to his standing with the people in East
ern Oiegon. Being a self-made man,
and having elevated himself from a coun
try school teacher to one of the foremost
lawyers in the state, he is entitled to
considerable credit, Times-Mountain
Thirty mile seems to be quite a favored
resort just now for the disciples of Ike
Walton, Snndays particularly. Sunday
last a number from Fossil, Mayville and
Condon tried their luck, and caught a
large number of fine trout, Tho editor
of this splendid paper fished for large
ones, only, and captured some whollor
era, one 15 inches in hight when stood
on its ears.
John Brandenburg has sold the re
mainder of his sheep,' B00 head, to S.
B. Barker, at 2.50 per head. This makes
about 2500 head he has disposed of this
spring. John has done remarkably well
financially during the short time he has
been, in this section. He is yet unde
cided what he will do, but it is probable
he will conclude to go into business of
some kind at Condon,
Mr, Robt. Spencer, one of the success
ful farmers of tho Shelby country, and
Thos. Saunders were up to our city
Wednesday. Mr. Saunders had been at
work for Mr. Spencer, and on Wednes
day morning a horse kicked him on the
jaw, fracturing that very important part
of his anatomy, which was the cause of
their trip to town. Dr. Xicklin fixed it
up for him again.
Monday Johnny Gross and Mrs. Wm.
Comett met with a slight accident while
riding on a buggy on upter 30mile. The
horses gave a sudden plunge, and both
occupants, accompanied by the seat,
fell out backwards. Luckily they were
not hurt. Mrs. Comett left Wednesday
for Portland, where she expects to visit
the family of her son Ed a short time.
Ed is in the butcher business down
there, and is doing well.
Herald: Judge Fee in discharging
the grand jury, complimented that body
of men. The jury after six days hard
work failed to bring in a true bill. The
judge thinks remarkably w ell of the
moral, law-abiding citizens of Harney
county, as our jail bouse has been ten
antU'ss for two years. To Iw sure, we

8imon B. Barker bought 320 acres of
railroad land on Matney Flat thia week.
There are very few young men in the
state who have made such brilliant suc
cess financially in the aarae length of
time that Simon has. . He came to this
section from Maine about five years ago,
when he was only about 23 years of age,
and bought 250 head of aheep from bis
brother. Will, - He had unusually good
luck with them, and by shrewd manage
ment he now owns over $12,000 worth of
sheep, besides other property to the
amount of several thousand dollars all
from the 250 head of sheep , which he
started in with ; and he doesn't owe a
cent, either. This is an excellent rec
ord. His brother Will has also done re
markably well financially in the sheep
business in this section.
Commissioners T. G. Woodland and
W. J. Edwards met Monday last at Con
don and let the contracts for a new coun
ty jail and two bridges, as per advertise
ment. For some reason Judge Mariner
failed to put in an appearance. The
contracts were let as follows ; Messrs:
A. J, Walker and Geo, Tatom, partners,
secured the contracts for the building of
the jail, and for Butler's Ford bridge, on
ttock creek, the jail at 619, taking the
old jail at $100 as part pay ; and the
bridge at $434. Work on the jail will
begin at once., Henry Cummings se
cured the contract for building the bridge
over Thirty mile at Jno Maddock'a place,
for $374. A nnmber of other carpen
ters bid on these contracts, several bids
being a couple of hundred dollars higher
than the lowest. The si w of the main
jail building will be 16x30, and will con
tain three cells, one steel and two wood.
It will be a very substantial structure
We desire to call the attention of ad
vertisers to the superior facilities offered
by the Gixbk. We make no idle Ixtast
when we say that our weekly edition
reaches three times more readers in this
and adjoining counties than any other
paper published in Gilliam county. The
success of the Glob a is phenomenal.
Starting out in the teeth of intensely bit
ter opposition It has gradually won its
way to popular favor by simply telling
the truth and taking its stand with the
masses on all questions relating to their
interest. Without a single agent in the
field soliciting subscriptions, its list is
steadily increasing, and the voluntary
character of these subscriptions gives
ample proof that the paper is apprecia
ted by all the best 'class of people in the
country. The Globe is no experiment,
but a complete and gratifying success.
Belonging to no clique or party, it fears
the frow n or favor of none. Its mission
is to tell the truth. It is here to stay,
and just so long as truth-telling is whole
some and necessary, it expects to re
main. Meanwhile there Is still room on
our subscription book for more names,
at per year, in advance. . .

A Wife's Many Crimes.
Poi-tlmid Teletrratn.
Mrs. May Vaughn, the wife of a farm
er living near Forest Grove, occupied a
cell in the county jail Saturday, and was
taken home same day to answer to a
charge of grand larceny. She was ar
rested at Prinevillo, Oregon, by Sheriff
Dennis of Washington county, about a
week ago. The indictment under which
the woman is to be arraigned charges
her with having taken two horses which
were the property of her husband, and
also for living in adultery with David
Enyart, quarter-breed Indian. To a tel
egram reporter the woman made a state
ment in which she claims Enyart, who
is her husband's cousin, stole her from
her home in May, and took ber to his
sister's home on Sauvies Island, where
they lived as man and wife.
Soon after the runaway Enyart went
back to Vaughn's and stole a pony, and
afterward she went back with him and
held the horse while Enyart stole anoth
er of Mr. Vaughn's horses. She said
that though she wanted to go to her hus
band she was afraid to do so lest Envart
would kill her. From Portland the
couple went to Sacramento, and after
wandering about California, turned up
about two weeks ago in Prineville, where
Enyart was arrested for nearly beating
the life out of the woman. In this way
the Washington county authorities loca
ted the pair, but before they could reach
them Enyart bad fled. Mrs. Vaughn is
about 42 years of age and has five chil
dren, the eldest of whom is married.
She acknowledges having lived with En
yart as his wife. Her face bears the
stamp of total depravity, and the lan
guage she uses is not borrowed from
Macau lay.

The cowboys are riding the Pine creek
range this week. From there they will
ride over the Deep creek and West Fork
ranges.
We were blessed with a bour.teful
shower Tuesday afternoon, and in con
sequence everything assumes a cheerful
appearance again. There is no cause
yet for alarm as to crops being short.
: Arrangements are being made to have
a grand celebration at Fossil an July M,
at which everybody and his better or
his sweetheart have a polished invitation
to attend. Co. H of Condon will be in
vited to take part in a friendly drill with
Co. E of this place.
The majority seems to be pleased with
the result of the election particularly
the fortunate candidates. Especially
are we all pleased to know that Judge
Bradshaw and Prosecuting Attorney
Wilson succeed themselves. They have
won the respect and confidence of our
people, and notwithstanding the vigor
ous campaign inaugurated against them
by "the enemy," especially for circuit
judge, they came out of the smoke "un
scathed." 'Rah for them 1
Val Wheeler Is considerably ahead on
the election. Lie was not only elected
assessor, but won a pretty fat. bet, in the
following manner: When Val was at
the democratic convention, and after he
was nominated be dropped into one of
the stores at Condon, where a crowd were
talking politics. A lady, who did not
know Val, remarked in bis presence that
"she had ten cents to bet Val Wheeler
wouldn't be elected," Val took the bet.
lie was somewhat astonished one day
this week to receive a registered letter
from the lady, containing a nice, bright
10-cent piece, having cost more to, regis
ter it than the amount of the bet. This
places Val away ahead on the election,
and he regrets now the bet was not doub
le that amount. He will likely invest
a portion of it in the Suez canal project.

Mr. D. H. Smith of 30mile was with

ed in the Heppner warehouses, our wool
raisers not being satisfied with the pres
ent prices.
Billy Colwell seems determined tocar
ry all the wealth out of this country,
having gone out to the opal mines for a
large supply Thursday.
The devilish little ground squirrels are
doing considerable damage to grain in
this section. The little fellows can hard
ly t blamed for it, either, because why
were they made to like grain?
The latest real estate transaction was
the sale of COO acres of land by John M.
Brown to Nat Scott. Consideration,
abont $2,500. Mr. Scott has also leased
2000 head of ewes from Mr. Brown.
Nat is the only real prosperous bache
lor we know of in the country, and he
took us aside the other day and whisper
ed in our mule ear that "he wouldn't
bach if he could help himself." Girls,
don't all make a rush.
Old Jupe Pluvins treated us to a heavy
rain shower Friday and a thunder show
er Tuesday. Still more of it would be
very acceptable to the crops. It becomes
exceedingly funny every year about this
time to hear the distressing wail on all
sides that there will be a total failure of
crops. And yet there never has Jieen a
failure of crops in this country, and the
writer has been here as long as any of
'em. It is a poor plan to always be try
ing to borrow trouble it comes around
to most people before they are ready for
it, anyway. Cowbov.

A man who will steal potatoes when
they are as cheap as dirt and hide them

For the last six or eight months some
