From flv fifteen years was the sentence that Jack Fads got here Monday when he came up before Judge Biggs. Eads was Indicted, tri ed and convicted for the burning of ihe dance hall at Monument, on the evening of December 31, 1915. Busi ness rivalry and bitter enmity prom pted the incendiary act. The fire was started at midnight and at a time when a dance Was in progress. There were many witnesses called and when the links of circumstances were forged together there was a chain of circumstantial evidence so convincing that the jury founud the verdict of guilty. Eads was a law breaker. He has been in trouble continually. He was convicted of bootlegging and many of the witness es that were on the stand said that they had bought illicit whiskey from Eads. When Eads received his sentence he was asked if he had anything to say. He said: "You are convict Ing an innocent man, I am not guilty as charged." The court replied that he was convicted from the evidence that Eads was guilty and the law pro vided a penalty of from 5 to 15 years, Eads has been the source of much trouble.

Bio logical Survey had an interesting ex perience during his recent trip into the Rogue River country. A doe stepped into a trap set for coyotes and the hunter knew of no way to release it without killing it. Jewett decided he had seen enough of the Round-Up to bulldog it. He reached for an ear and was butted over. The fine work was all off. He grabbed the animal by a fore foot and a hind one and downed it. The hunter re leased the trap. The animal was free but the in spector wasn't. He let the doe go and she proceeded to butt him over. Two or three times he had this ex perience. The- animal did not at tempt to strike, apparently getting all the necessary action out of her battering ram tactics. Finally Je wett lost patience and picked up the deer, climbed out of the pothole where the trap bad been set, put the deer down on the ground and ran for his life for about 15 feet. The dp? looked after him, saw that he was too far away to butt and turning rafi off Into the woods. Jewett says that he has proven that a deer may be released from a trap without killing it and he thinks he would like to see what a buck would do. In this wish he was join ed by the office force but they were content to have the inspector per form the experiment.-Pendleton Tribune. ALL KINDS OF FARM AND TOWN PROPERTY AND RENTALS HANDLED.

What Uie Young Man Wrote and What Appeared in the Paper. The graduate of the school of jour nalism secured a job as reporter on a big dally. There was a fire on Smith street, and the graduate was assigned to cover it. This is what the gradu ate wrote about the fire. "The grim, red god of fire demand ed his toll on Smith street yesterday. Pandemonium prevailed when he slaked his appetite on a magnificent residence at 4 p. m. The building was soon one continuous, seething in ferno, and great tongues of flame leaped high towards the heavens, seeking to poison with their fury the billows of smoke and send them on and away to carry further destruction elsewhere. Great streaks of livid light shot through the pall of black ness which hung overhead and outlin ed the monster rolling gaseous clouds in grim and gastly figurations. Soon the residence, stood a gaunt spector of its former self, its massive tim bers holding up and standing forth and holding like huge skeletons lash ed by the hellish tongues of the furi es of Inferno." And this is what the graduate saw Christmas Candi es IN GREAT VARIETY By the Pail, Pound, or Box Also everything for the Christmas & Dinner from soup to nuts Announcement has been received of the birth of an eight and a half pound son to Mr. and Mrs. Barker, at Buhl, Idaho, Nov. 29.

Old King Winter did a fell trick, struck a blow beneath the belt to Umatilla county potato raisers when recently he swept down "like a wolf on the fold," and froze hundreds of bushels of spuds in Eastern Oregon. A local commission man in dis cussing the situation today, stated his belief that the sudden cold snap did no less damage than between $35,000 and $40,00 damage. Many of the farmers, believing the fall would be a long one, delayed their potato digging, until it was too late. It was said that one farmer near Echo had 10 acres in potatoes. He had contracted to sell them for $1.75 a bushel as soon as they were dug. He waited to build a barn and the cold spell hit him. Every thing was lost and he will even have to buy his seed for next year. Pend leton Tribune.
