Not Guilty.
"Not guilty," was the verdict
brought in by the six jurors in
Justice Cornett's court last Fri- j
day afternoon in the case of the 1
state of Oregon vs. C. C. Wright j
on a charge of assault and bat
tery. The trial was the outcome
of ia quarrel between Wright and
George Stevenson on January 4,
which elided in Stevenson being
struck unconscious by a blow
frbm a club in the hands ' of
Wright
It Was brought out in the trial
that there had been trouble be
tween the two parties for some
time, which had its culmination
on this particular; Sunday morn
ing when Stevenson jumped over
the back fence into the yard oc
cupied by Wright, after some
words had been hurled at Wright
by Mrs. Stevenson. Both men
were pretty warm and Stevenson
had neglected to drop the pitch
fork which he had been using in
cleaning out the barn. After
much discussion an agreement
was finally reached in which both
men were to stop talking about
each other and the future rela
tions were to be of a more friend
ly nature. ' However, as Steven
son started to walk off, Wright
did not like the angle at which
the fork was being held in the
hands of Stevenson and he used
the club, which he had; picked up
previously, to the best advant
age. Stevenson still says that he
didn't know he was struck.
The state was represented by
County Aftorri'et 'Wells and the
defendant 'Was represented by

TOM RICHARDSON SAID: ' '
Wheh Tri Hepprier recently, "If
ybu cannot afford to subscribe to
your home 'paper to send to some
one in the East; send your :6wn
af teY reading it. If you know of
no one, pick a name from the pa
per itself artd send it there. No
thing gives such a favorable im
pression as a live home paper. "
District Game arid Fish War
den E. H. Averill, of Pendleton,
says that Heppner will be the
first point Visited this year by the
agents from the Bonneville hatch
ery. There Will be 180,000 trout
placed in the streams of Morrow
county. Most of them will be
distributed in the upper waters
of Willow and Rhea creeks.
Registration Books Open.
The registration of voters is
proceeding slowly at the clerk's
office. They have been open since
the first of the year and it will
be necessary for every voter of
the county to register for the
elections of 1914. The fact that
you registered last fall under the
new registration law will not
suffice as that law was knocked
out by the decision of the supreme
court, and all registration under
it is nil. ' Take a little time off
and register early. '
LIGHT UP.
A little more good lightin your
home always makes it more cheer
ful. While I am here I can make
good offers to you for all kinds of
house wiring and re-wiring, elec
tric door bells, burglar alarms,
etc. You can meet me at the
Palace Hotel any evening after 5
p. m., or leave word and 1 will
call on you at your house.
R. D. Richardson.
Chicken Pie Supper.
The Aid Society of the Federa
ted church will give a chicken pie
supper at the church parlors on
Friday evening, January 23. It
is to be a splendid feed and of
course you will be there.
If
2nd Morrow County Show
Is Financial ' Success
Much Credit Is Due To
Noble and Cox.
The second annual Morrow
County Poultry Show came to ,a
successful close Friday evening.
The judging was done by B. F.
Keeney, of Eugene, who ex
pressed great surprise at the fine
quality of birds exhibited and
the high scores recorded. The ,
percentage of fowls scoring over
90 points was very large.
The competition between num
erous exhibitors was very keen,
especially in the standard classes,
and some of the contests had to
be settled on the point of Weight
alcne. Over 400 specimens were
judged and the work of Mr.
Keeney was so satisfactory to
the Association that he was en
gaged for the next show and con
tract signed for increased com
pensation. His manner of judg
ing is very educational, and while
there was very marked improve
ment in the condition of the
fowls at this show over that' of
the first attempt, it is expected
that the next exhibition will show
even a greater improvement un
der the instruction received from
Mr. Keeney.
Much credit is due President
Noble and Secretary Cox for the
very successful manner in which
the' second annual show wa3 con
ducted. These men are both en
thusiasts in poultry raising and
take great interest in promoting
the industry here.
It was rioted that some sec
tions of the county lacked repre
sentation but this will be over
come in the future and another
show . should bring representa
tives from every point in the
county as well as many exhibits
from outside. The poultry show
is an established institution at
Heppner and from now on it will
assume greater proportions and
beconie a more important event.
The Association has been at
large expense in pulling off this
show, but all expenses have been
fully met and the new year starts
with a clean slate.
For full list of awards, see
page four of this issue.
Land Show Pictures.
Mayor Smead received a bunch
of photographs of the Oregon ex
hibit at the Chicago Land Show
this week and they will be on ex
hibit at his office for a few days.
These views give one an idea of
the variety and extensiveness of
the Oregon display, as well as
showing its beautiful arrange
ment. A conspicuous feature is
the splendid arrangeriient and
prominence given to the exhibits
from Morrow county. Our little
county had a fine display there
and this was placed in a very au
spicious corner of the display and
plainly labelled so that there
could be ho mistake as to where
the differehtarticles came from.
Mr. Smead exhibited the pictures
about town and if you have not
seen them, call at his office and
look them over. Thev will have
to be returned t- C. C. Chapman
at Portland, as his supply is lim
ited and he is making this album
do the work after the fashion of
a circulating library.
