Dougherty, Who Is A Wealthy
Sheepman of Butter Creek,
Was Shot Through the Lungs
and Will Probably Die.
Willitm Morton, a sheephiirder, shot
and fatally injured Patrick Dougherty
early last Saturday evening at tbe ranch
of the latter, about 30 miles from tbe
city. Morton bad been employed by
Dougherty for several weeks. Saturday
misunderstanding arose over tbe
matter of wages. Both men became
enraged, and Morton left the ranch, say
ing be would return later to adjust the
difficulty. '
Morton went to Pendleton, secured
milk making. It grows in tbe orth
Yakima district abundantly, where ex
periments have been carried on for
several years, and is naturally adapted
to tbe billy, sandy soil found in tbe
northern and western portion of Uma
tilla county. ,
Many homesteaders in tbe vicinity of
tbe, Columbia- rivir on tbe northern
border of Umatilla county are going to
experiment with all the dry land crops
possible, in hopes of finding something
that will produce a good crop of forage,
without irrigation, as there is a large
rea there that cannot be irrigated,' and
is not suited to wheat. .
38 caliber revolver, and returned to
Dougherty's place. Dougherty had ex
pected trouble and armed himself.
When the two men met there was an
exchange of shots. Dougherty received
a wound directly over tbe heart, which
the physicians say will prove fatal.
Morton was captured by Special Deputy
Armstrong Sunday morning at a farm
house three miles from Dougherty's
ranch, returning to tbe city with the
prisoner that afternoon. Morton says he
shot in self defense, but refuses to talk
further.
Doughorty is a wealthy sheepman
and has lived in Umatilla county for
many years,
