taken off.

HOMICIDE.
John Looney Shot and Killed
By Daniel H. Ward.
Considerable excitement was created
in Condon Friday evening about 9 o'clock
when Dan Ward walked into town and
in the coolest manner possible informed
Sheriff Wilcox that be had Just shot and
killed John Looney, and that he wished
to place himself in the custody of the
sheriff. '
A long list of circumstances led up to
the killing of Looney, and the tragedy is
ho surprise to all who know the circum- j
stances connected thereto.
About four years ago Mr: Ward and
family came out from Kansas, and pur
chased a ranch about one mile east of
town, from Wm. Looney. John Looney,
his son, owned a ranch adjoining, where j
he made his home,
John at once began to show attention
to Mrs. Ward, with a view to winning
her affections, which, it seems, he ac
complished, in a way. Mr, Ward being
of a very quiet and inoffensive disposi
tion, did not say much at first, hoping
Looney would soon realize the danger of
thus interfering with his sacred rights.
In this he was mistaken. Looney con
tinued his attentions with renewed vigor
and finally persuaded Mrs. Ward to de
sert her husband and four little children
and live with him. This unholy alli
ance lasted about a month, when Mr.
Ward returned ' from the mountains,
where he had been at work ft month or
so. He induced bis wife to return home
again to ber family. This happened
about one year ago.
Mr. Ward had repeatedly warned
Looney to cease his attention to bis wife,
or he would kill him. When the wife
came home, Ward told Looney to never
come onto his place again, at the peril
of his life. In order to get out of Loo
ney 's way, Ward moved with his family
to his other place, ten miles north of
town. Looney was not to be baffled in
such a manner, and continued his visits
to the house during tbe husband's ab
sence. The nature of Ward's business work
ing with sheep, hauling, etc., kept him
away from home a good deal of tbe time,
and Looney -kept a sharp lookout for
such opportunities, and, it appears, did
not miss many of them. He even boast
ed to a number of persons that he would
have the woman if he bad to kill Ward
in order to get her.
About tbe middle of last week Ward
returned from a trip to Heppner, and
learned that Looney had been stopping
at his place during bis absence. He
came over Friday to look after his gar
den, etc., oo his place near town. Loo
ney who had been at work at Manley
Keizur's place, nine miles north of town,
returned home Friday evening with bis
team and wagon. He left town a few
minutes after 8 o'clock for his home
one mile east of town.
Notwithstanding the fact that Ward
had repeatedly warned him to not come
onto his place again, he did not heed
them, and deliberately drove over to
Ward's place, presumably to have a fuss
with him. In the row that ensued,
Looney was shot aud instantly killed,
no less than a dozen buckshot penetra
ting him, about half of which bit him
in the region of the heart. Ward imme
diately came into town, with the gun
a single-barrelled shotgun and gave
himself up to the sheriff, as above sta
ted.
A number of persons went out imme'
diately and brought Looney 's body to
town. The body was lying in the wagon-bed,
having fallen in front of the seat
when shot.
Ward had his preliminary examina
tion before Squire Tatom about 1, a. m.,
Geo, Goode, our young attorney, appear
ing for the defense. He waived state
ment was committed without bail.
Owing to our jail being torn up by the
building of a new one, Sheriff Wilcox
deemed it best to take Ward to The
Dalles. Deputies Anthony and Johnson
started early Saturday morning with
him. His removal to The Dalles was
taken as a precaution against possible
violence from Looney'a relatives, and
not on account of any notion that Ward
might escape. The aentiment of the
community was very outspoken and
etrongly in favor of Ward. A man can'
not be blamed for resorting to desperate
means when it becomes necessary in or
der to protect the sacred rights of his
family. .
: An inquest was herd' Saturday after
noon over Looney'a' body before Squire
Tltoui, and the post mortem examina
tidn by Drs. Hogan and Nicklin. The
reaiains were buried in the Condon cem
etfry Sunday morning' by Co. H, Sd reg
iment, O. N. G.j to which he belonged.
Jobn Looney was about 30 years of
agu, and had never been married. He
had merited for himself an unsavory
reputation by his apparent irresistible
inclination for stich attention to married
women, having separated three or four
different couples in Umatilla county be
fore coming here, so wo are informed.

sister, Krs. C. H.-Ewing all1 Hve r tftis

THE FOURTH.
Nearly 500 Patriotic People Cele
brated at Ollllam'e Capital.
Of the vast multitude of happy people
who celebrated at Condon, we believe
there is not one who can conscientious
ly say that he or she ever enjoyed a J o j
much as On this occasion. The greatest
harmony prevailed tbroughont tbe day,
and not a single accident bapponed to
mar the general cheerfulness of the large
crowd of people.
G. L. Neale was appointed grand mar
shal of the day, and discharged his duty
nobly. About 11 o'clock, over one hun
dred Sunday school children, headed by
Miss Louella Maddock, who represented
the Goddess of Liberty, marched from
the church to the large new barn, which
was fixed up in grand style for the occa
sion. Charley Perrln represented Uncle
Sam. and performed bis part well.
Rev. Wise opened the exercises by
prayer, after which those old, soul-stirring
national airs, "Reef, White and
Blue," and "Our Country," were sung
by the choir, led by Mrs. E. L. Taylor,
organist.
Miss Birdie Downing then read a very
appropriate essay, tbe title of which
Is "Our Nation's Hero," which waa well
delivered in a clear and distinct voice.
W. A. Goodwin then treated the swel-
tsrifcg crowd by reading the Declaration
of Independence, which increases in in
terest as the nation grows in age.
Prof. O. M. Given then delivered a
well-worded and very interesting oration
amid thunders of applause.- Unlike the
average 4th of July orator, he did not
get excited and punch great boles into
the atmosphere, as if brushing off bum
blebees ; but on the contrary bespoke
in an easy and convincing manner that
proved to tbe appreciative listeners that
he is a gifted and talented orator.
A Mr. Jennings then made a short
speech and sang a song.
After dinner the foot-racea came off.
Frank Pliter won tbe 100-yd race, easy.
He took the lead from the start and kept
it the whole way through, which ia an
excellent way to win a race. Frank also
won the potato race. Nena Nicklin won
the girls' race, and Wm. J. Smith the
sack race.
The horse race was intensely interest
ing, there being a number of entries.
The horse belonging to Earheart Bros.,
of Lone Rock, won without trying.
The display of fireworks in the even
ing was the grandest ever seen in the
county, and was greatly appreciated.
The ball in the evening was, of course.
tbe grandest of the season, and enjoyed
by nearly 100 couples.
Altogether, our celebration was a
grand and complete success, and "led
all others in the surroundingconntry, as
predicted by this excellent family paper,
which is only $1.50 per year, in advance.

Portland early Tuesday morning, struck
a rock about 100 yds west of the depot,
breaking an eccentric, delaying the train

disconnection and proceeded to Uoia
tilla with one side.
The last week has been one of a chap
ter of accidents, among them being' a
few on the U. P., none of which proved
disastrously, however.- Tbe satid has
been the cattse of a number of delays, a
freight wreck near Grants, a brirfiro de-'
stroyed by fire in Idaho,- and numerous
other accidents along the line.
Save the fact that a huge American
flag yet floats over the depot, a etrangt r"

ing any J at this place." The ferry boat
Alkali made a trip several miles up the
river on that eventful day, carrying fif
teen passengers. Judge Ebi and family
drove out to the "Oasis" C. D. Sen

they passed the day pleasantly. Sub.
