Jack Eads Will Serve From Five to-
Fifteen Years for the Crime of
Arson.
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. He is a man about 65
years old. His wife is less than 20
years old has a child about 13 months
old. He was taken to the peniteiv
tlary this week. Caynon City Blue

Jewett Tries to BuUdog Doe Bat Now
He's Sorry.
Stanley G. Jewett, of the U. S. 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.

THE CUB REPORTER.
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."

Potatoes Suffer In Recent Cold Spell.
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.
