NEW DEVELOPMENTS
IN RANGE M
Burning of J. N. Williamson'
Shearing Plant and Sheep
Shad at Prineville Lead to
Startling Disclosure.
The Bend Bulletin prints the
fftiinwinir about the recent law
lessness that has occurred at
Prineville:
Are the hidden facts In regard
to tho long list of crime, mid
night "murders, shootings and
lynchintfs that were so common
around Prineville some 10 or 20
Vhm m altftut to be eiven the
light of publicity? Are the men
who were roBponsible for those
crimes about to receive punish
nM tnr which their dastardly
deeds of former years entitle
them? These are tho questions
that are paramount in the
minds of all those who have
heard the latest developments in
a recent case' of lawlessness in
the vicinity of Prineville.
Tt U snorted that Larkin K.
r.iiintt- who ia under arrest and
confined in the county jail for
rnmnlic tv in the burning or J.
N Williamson's shearing plant
and cutting of a mile and a half
of Williamson's fence has peacn
hia confederates, not only
in this last deed, but has also
told the authorities who were the
murrWera of "Shorty" Davis, a
wealthy sheepman who disap
peared some eight or nine years
' nottimdof whom no trace has
been found from that day to
this.
Since beinir confined in jail El
liott has confessed to setting the
fire and cutting the fence on the
Williamson nlnce. stating that he
was hired by C. Sam Smith, the
er-nheriff. and that Smith and
his son were present and had a
hand in the deed. These men
were immediately placed under
arrest and are now in jail.
After disclosing these interest-
ncr facta, it is reported that El
liott also said, "Well, I'm not
the onlv criminal in Crook coun
ir Thorn nrn a lot of others. I
ran tell vou who killed "Shorty"
Davis and can take you to where
his body is buried." What other
diRclosures are made is not
known, but it is reported that he
has implicated 22 persons living
at Prineville and vicinity, some
of them prominent business men
and stock raisers.
. It is known, however, that
Sheriff Elkins and District At
torney Menefee took Elliot and
drove out into the country. Up
on returning they refused to talk
and would not Bay whether or
not they had found Davis' re
mains or anything to substantiate
Elliott's story. Their silence
would indicate that their search
had not been n vain. Prineville
is on the keen edge of excitement
oatn what will follow. Elkins
and Menefee hint that more ar
rests will follow, and the sheriff
is reported to have said, 'There
will he hell Dooping next week."
It will be remembered that
"Shorty" Davis was a wealthy
sheepman living southeast, of
Prineville who mysteriously dis
appeared about eight years ago.
No trace of him has ever been
found and it has been generally
believed he was murdered. Cat
tie men hate with a dire hatred
all sheep and sheep men, and if
Davis was killed it was in order
to rid the range of his sheep,
The recent depredations commit
' ted against Williamson and other
sheepmen are undoubtedly in
tended to produce the , same re
minds of the people ia whether
hn rat haa not at last been let
out of the bag by one of the
crowd confessing and whether
the gang that carried things
with such a high hand a few
years' auro are not about to re
ceive their just desserts for the
crimes thev committed when tne
country was so new that law and
order could not be enforced.
A Communication,
Condon, Ore., April 27th
Editor Globe:
Would like to make
a few comments if admissable.
With all due respect to all candi
dntiA will lust ask the Times ed
itor WHY W. J, Edwards has not
inof oa onnA a riffht to Cftflt tUB
e""
Jim Crow' into the ring as any
other man in Gilliam County. He
came here when Gilliam, Wheel
er and Sherman were all in one
county with The Dalles as the
county seat He endured all tne
hardships and privations of a
new country, helping to make
thia country just what it Is by
the sweat of his brow, doing
honest labor and being an Amer
loan Wn citizen and raising his
sons to honorable manhood, edu
cating them at Oregon institu
tions, imbuing their home train
tnor with honesty and the up
building of a spotless character
and. if I m stake not, an Oregon
born man, then why not pitch his
'Jim Crow' into the ring; why
should he be dubbed a 'forlorn
hope'?. I should like to ask the
citizens of the three counties
which he aspires to represent,
who has a better right to repre
sent the Deoole than W. J. Ed
wards?. He has always worked
for the advancement of the three
counties both in private and pub
lie and beinar a farmer knows
just what the farmer needs in
th wav of legislation. I would
ask if the men who shouldered
the burdens and privations of
earlier dava have no right to as
pire for representation in any of
th nuhl c offices? irutn is
stronirer than fiction and the
neonle could not put up a man
I x -
with a cleaner record both in pn
vate and public life than W. J.
Pwarda and Mr. Time loses a
score by his 'Jim Crow' and for
lorn hone' notices.
