THrCflBBOil GLOBE. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11. 1898. THB OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY. OREOON. A SHEEPHERDER SHOT. W. B. Ewing In Trouble Again. Heppusr Times, Feb. M. W. B. Ewing, a rancher, who live near Douglas, in this county, is in the county jail, at this place, awaiting pre liminary examination on a charge of having shot a sheephenler by the name of Jim Fiti, who, for the past five years, has been herding C. A. Rhea's sheep in the northern part of Morrow county. 80 far. we have been able to get but one side of the affair, which, as it conies to us, is substantially as follows: Ewing claims that Fits had, on one or two oc casions, herded bis sheep on Ewing's deeded land, and when he drove his sheep onto the land again Wednesday afternoon, Ewing took the two Leyde boys along with him with the intention of taking the sheep away from the her der and holding them until Mr. Rhea had paid the damages which they had done to his ranch. When they began to drive the sheep the herder came run ning down the bill with a 5-foot club, and according to Mr. Ewing's story, tried to assault him. After being fol lowed and hit on the wrist with the clnb, Ewing shot for Fitx's leg, but hit him in the right side, between the first and second ribs. He shot twice, bnt on ly one ball took effect. Fits then turned around and walked to his cabin, a mile distant, and Ott Summers telephoned for Sheriff Matlock. Matlock being out of town, a warrant was issued by Justice Richardson, and special Constable Can non went to serve the same on Ewing, whom he met near Lexington coming to Heppner. Ewing telephoned to Ar lington for Attorney S. A. D. Gurley, who arrived on this morning's train and the examination will take place as soon as Dist. Attorney Bean can come over from Pendleton. Ewing has a wife and four children, and Fits is a Bingle man about 35 years of age and a native of the north of Ireland. Dr. Geisendorfer was bastilv summoned from Arlington, who Drobed and dressed the wound, lie has not ret located the bullet and does not believe Fits can recover. The following telegram appears in Saturday's Oregonian from Heppner: "The shootine of Jim Fits last Wednes day by W. B. Ewing near Cecil, in this county, proves 10 nave oeen more serious than tirst reported, in. tieisenaorier 01 Arlington, who is in attendance, says Fits cannot possibly recover. Ewing is in jail, where he will be held nntil the result is known. Deputy Proa. Att'y Rea and Justice Richardson went to Cecil vesterday and secured the following deposition from Fits: "On February 2, about noon, I was herding sheep on some railroad land claimed by Ewing. Ewing, accompanied by two of "the Leyde boys, came to where the sheep were, and started to drive them down to Ewing's bouse. When I saw them start the sheep I walked np to where the boys were, saying, 'Boys, von make good herders.' I then walked in between Ewing and the sheep, in order to drive the sheep back, saying to Ewing, 'I can drive these sheep, and don't need yonr help.' At that .Ewing drew his pistol and pointed it at me and said : 'I have been laying for you, you ! , I have got you now.' With that I struck him with a broom handle which I was using for a cane, and tried to knock the pistol out of his hand. I think I hit Ewing on the arm instead. The pistol was discharged at the same mo ment, the ball striking me in the arm below the elbow. Ewing immediately Btiot again, the second bullet striking me below tbe right nipple." Ewing'B examination was held yester day and was defended by S A D Gurley and Judge Bennett. We have not learn ed tbe result. Fits is yet alive. The republican state convention, 2d district, will be beld in Astoria on April 14th. Gilliam county is entitled to four of the 285 delegates in this district. Tbe state committee recommends that the primaries be held on Saturday, April 2, and tbe county conventions on Wednes day, April 6, unless otherwise ordered by tbe several county committees. The Dalles worked hard for tbe convention this year bnt failed to capture the honor. Portland and Salem also wanted it. The convention for the 1st district will be held at Eugene, with 145 delegates. Con don does not care for such small honors, but will make a vigorous effort to have all of the national conventions pulled off here in 1900. The state board of equalization made a reduction of 33K per cent on the value of sheep in this county. No other changes were made in the assessment as made by Assessor J. B. Titus. Just why this change was made in tbe valuation of sheep is not known. Sheep were assessed in this county last year at $1.50 ier head, and the reduction of one-third v the state board makes it easy for sheepmen, considering the increased prices of wool and mutton. Grant Coun ty News. The receivership of the La Grande land office is about the only federal office that still remains tilled by a democrat in Eastern Oregon. Mr. J. H. Bobbins, the gentleman who at present so efficient ly tills it, is expecting any day to move out to make room for one of tbe Mitchell "push." East Oregonian. The E. O. is mistaken j no change has yet been made in tbe U. 8. land office at Tbe Dalles. - H. 8. Wilson, receiver of Tbe Dalles National bank, has been authorized by the controller of currency to declare another dividend of 20 per cent to cred itors of the bank, and has tbe money on hand to redeem receiver's certificates to that amount. This makes a total of 70 per cent that has been paid on the liabil ities of the defunct bank. Five men Geo. Freeman and his three grown sons, George, James and Harry, and L. J.

I have at my raneh near Clem two varieties of fine rjotxroea one mirole. with white around the eyes that I imported, and is vailed the "Centen nial;" the other 1 originated nere ana nave named it "The Hold Standard," becaww I don't think it will depreciate in value as a wholesome food. Both kinds are snow-whito inxldo and of a most delicious flavor. They are easily grown without cultivation, and the yield is very lartre. They grow to enormous else, many of them 5 and t pounds apiece. 1 can spare a few of these potatoes for sent at 2c per 100-lb lots, or 2' jo for smaller lots, at my ranch. Those wanting any of theni must order soon, as the supply is limited, Z. T. Podsom, SUMMONS. Tn the Clrrmtt Conrt of the State of Oregon for the County of tiUIiam. Lester Collin aud H.
