Trouble Arises at The
; Picture Show Sat
urday Night. I
On last Saturday evening the
patrons of the Condon Amuse
ment Company's theatre were
considerably excited over a quar
rel which took place in the lobby
of the theatre and which, but
for the interference of others,
might easily have ended in the
death of some innocent persons.
It appears that George Wick
called early in the evening at
the home of Mrs. Evan Ander
son, his former wife, to visit
his two children, one of whom
was ill, and made arrangements
to take them to the theatre that
evening. The children not be
ing ready, he left, Intending to
call for them later . but being
late in calling for them he went
to the theatre, found them in
side and was returning to the
lobby to get a ticket so that he
might visit with them for the
evening when he met Anderson
coming into the theatre. It ap
pears that the two men have for
some time entertained uutriendly
feelings toward each other,
Wick claiming that he had a
happy home until Anderson ap
peared upon the scene and caus
ed the separation between him
self and wife, and Anderson
claiming that Wick has at differ
ent times threatened to kill him
However this may-be the two
men . eyed each other closely
while Wick was getting his tick
et when Anderson' asked Wick
to step outside that he might
speak with him. Wick accepted
the invitation and in a few mo
ments harsh words were spoken
with the result that 1 Ander
son struck Wick in the mouth,
causing the blood to flow freely.
Wick reeled then reached under
his coat and pulled his, gun and
was ready to use it when he dis
covered that Anderson ' was
struggling with A. A. Fehren

LARGE CROWD ACCOMPANIES EX-
CDS!
Where They See the Condon Base Ball Club
Taken Into Camp By The Heppner
Team and Their. Umpire.
The baseball excursion which
went to Heppner last Sunday
was a decided success in every
respect except one and that was
the fact that the local team was
defeated by a seore of 4 to 3.
Eighty-two tickets were sold, out
of Condon and the necessary
number of one hundred people
was easily made up at the inter
vening stations. A large num
ber of the Arlington sports were
there, lone and Lexington each
furnished a large share of their
population and when the train
reached Heppner standing room
was above par, many riding on
the platforms and steps. The
Wheat City Cornet Band fur
nished appropriate music all
along the line and at Heppner
where a fair sized crowd had
gathered to witness the best ex
cursion train ever run over their
line. Several drivers of vehic
les were there all clamoring for
a chance to graft the excursion
ists and it may also be said that
they were fairly successful. ! The
Palace Hotel next took! the
crowd in hand and served them
what through an awful contor
tion of imagination, might be
called a dinner, although the
price charged was sufficient for
a first class meal. The first act
at the ball ground was perform
ed by several boys who were
trying with hoes to . remove a
few of the weeds from the ' dia
mond. The second act was a one-
man comedy with Smead,
manager of the Heppner 1

the H. D. Ebbert ranch north

This ranch consists of 560

The consideration is $32.50 per

which leaves about 450 acres of

TRAIN TO
from All appearances the report
was': well founded. It is suf
ficient to say that during Hep
pner's last time at bat the umpire
gave them the frame by giving
a raw decision on balls and
strikes. He afterward acknow
ledged that it was this decision
that took the game from the
local team. The game was fast
in spite of the condition of the
grounds and the fact that the
dust was blowing so badly that
it was 'impossible for the out
fielders to judge long hits. "Hi"
Wilson's work as backstop
delighted the fans and as was
predicted in last week's Globe
the Heppner players soon learn
ed to respect his whipping abil
ities. Only two players tried to
steal and both were caught by a
large margin. Harlan's work in
the box was up to his usual good
form and was equal in every re
spect to that of. "Red" Toner,
whom the Heppner management
had secured for the occasion from
McCredie's Portland Beavers.
It may here be said that Mr.
Toner, who is in a position to
understand, clearly expressed
his disgust at the decisions of
the Heppner umpire. Following

T LOAD OF
WHEAT DELIVERED
By Oscar Maley to the
Farmers Union
Warehouse.
The first load of 1910 grain
delivered to this city was a load
of barley delivered the Farmers'
Union Warehouse on Wednes
day by Oscar Maley of Ferry
Canyon. It is of fine quality
and Mr. Maley reports the' yield
to be very good. Harvesting
has been in progress for over a
week in the north end of the
county. A few of the farmers
of this vicinity have started
while all are making prepara
tions and in a few days harvest
will be on throughout the coun
ty in general. It is as yet im
possible to place an estimate
on the probable yield, of grain
throughout the county on ac
count of the small amount which
has been harvested in the cen
tral and southern portions but
the yield through the -northern
part is reported as being, well
above the average for that sec
tion. Labor is very scarce but
each train brings in men ' who
are looking for work in the har
vest fields and in a few days
there will be no trouble m se
curing a full crew. It has late
ly been reported that the yield
as near as can be ascertained, is
turning out better than was ex
pected. However that may be
all indications point toward an
era oi prosperity in umiam

BIG OATS RAISED
III GOT CO.
Heads Measure Over
Sixteen Inches.
STALKS ALSO VERT LARGE
Grown on Henry Wilklns' rauch
Near Clem Will Yield Over
ICO Bushels to Acre.
That Gilliam County is a ban
ner field for the raising of oats
is proven by the fact that on
Henry Wilkins' ranch near Clem
comes a sample of oats, the heads
of which measure sixteen and
one-quarter inches. When one
stops to consider that the aver
age oat head measures from
four and one-Half to six inches,
the report of these mammoth
heads sounds like a fairy tale,
but it is an absolute fact and can
be proven to anyone doubting
the statement. Not only are the
heads of an extraordinary size
but the straw is also large in
proportion, measuring about four
feet in length and as large" in
circumference as a person's fin
ger. It is " not known of what
species "of the bat family these
belong and in spite of the large
size the head is well filled. 5 The
estimate one could place on an
acre of oats of this kind would
be a large one. Chas. F. Ken
nedy, the local manager of the
Pacific Coast Elevator Company's
warehouse, is the discoverer of
these mammoth oats' and stands
responsible for the report
