Two opinions were handed down by
the Suprem Courts yesterday, one of
which U .that oT the State pJ Oregon,
reepontlint, vs. A.I. Humphrey, kp
pelLmC which wa "appealed from the
decision of JudglJeo. II. Kurnett.
Marion county. In which the decision
of tht lower court was sustained, and
the appellant, . Humphreys, will, on
the strength of this decision be com
pellod to serve a term of two years in
the State Penitentiary, upon conviction
of the crime of larceny by bailee in
the State Circuit Court for. Marion
county during the October term of at

charged in the Information rendersJ
th-? offender subject to, the punishment
prescribed for the commission of grand
larceny. The defendant's ; attorneys
also contended that the section of the'
warehouse act, with whlh the defend?
ant was charged with having violated'
had been repeald - by lmplscatlon em
much as related -to the bailment of
grain or an alleged commission thereof
by a warehousema.n by an act which
vas approved February 23, 1885, and
that the court had erred In overruling
a- motlort to arrest Judgment. And; it
was urged by the defense that the
varehouse act ts cphipkte within Itself
and, as section S thereof repeals all
acts or parts of acts in conflict. It Is
manifest thajuhe Legislative assembly
intended that said acts should take
the placa of H other statutes uponj
the subject; that such, intention Is
evidenced by the fact that the prior
statute and the warehouse act pre-1
scribe different penalties, thus showing
that -they are in conflict, and that the
latter act prevails, i . r
Chief Justice Moore . held, however
that an examination of the warehouse
receipt given by Humphreys to Hall
showed hat they 'otM not comply with

and sentenced lo serve a term of two
years byi Judge Burnett, and from, this
decision appealed to the .Supreme Court
and was released" upon $1,000 ' bohds,
pending the decision of the latter. ;
;: The counaei tor tn attendant con
tended that by the i use of the won
"or" In the Information in toe con
struction of the .sentence ending "neg
lected and refused . to keep or account
for the said wheat" was, in violation of
section 1273 of Hill's Annotated Laws
of Oregon, in that two crimes were
charged In one information, and that
the information was, thefefor, illegal
and void. : The court, however, held
that In the sense the word was used
In this case Indicated that the terms

tion or indictment In the same manner.
as it anoeirs In the statute, which It
was claimed wan-violated and which Is
quoted in the opinion. J . j
The i defendant's counsel urgd . that
three .distinct charges were contained
in the Information, larceny by bailee,
embezzlement, - andstmple larceny,
and that the court erred In overruling
a. demurrer to the Information on the
ground of -the duplicity, bat the court
held that. If it be assumed that these
several rlme are, charged by the in
formation, they are generic in charac-
,tbe requirements of the? statutes in
' : T ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
that it was sufficient evidence to show
that . certain quantity of ; grain had
been entrusted to Humphreys' keeping
for which he failed to account, and that
the lower court did noC err in overrul
ing the motion. , - --.. , )
The Appellate Court also held that
the lower'court did not err In overrul
ing or disallowing the defendant's pe
tition for ia change of venue, and bu
tained the ruling of the trlaf court n
evry instance.
This Is a very ireporUnt case in that
it is the first conviction for the crime
of larceny by bailee that has ever went
through the Supreme Court and sus-4
talned in every respect, and the farm
ers will nowj feel that they have some
protection by tfie law . from thieving
warehousemen, whom It has heretofore
seemed Impossible to convict, and they
look upon It as a good precedent to
have been established. The opinion was
rendered by Chief Justice T. A. Moore.

"Banner, the fine driving horse of
Hon. I. I Patterson, while being drlv-
j en by Thomas r Eckhart was nearly
j ruined yesterday by goingjnto m. hole
the bridge over North Mill Creek,
in
on Church street.
j. The horse is kept at the Red Front
! livery barn, and whenever Mr. Patter-
son is In the city for a few days he
always takes great pleasure In a spin
around the country with "Banner."
During Mr. Patterson's absence from
i the city Thomas Eckhart drives the
J horse for exercise, and it was while
1 1 taking one of these drives yesterday
; I that the accident occurred. Mr. Eck
hart was driving up Church street, and
in crossing the long bridge over the
north branch of Mill creek, the left
I hind foot of the horse went through
the bridge. He became excited and be
ijgan floundering In a vain endeavor to
i j withdraw his foot, but an efforts failed
j ( and ft was with difficulty that Mr.
i Eckhart. assisted by a couple of tntn
(who happened along at the time, fin
jjally succeeded In getting the animal
front the dangerous position.
ft While it Is believed that no boms
' are broken or fractured, the leg that
! went through the bridge Is badly
tibrulaed Rnd the animal has little use'
; pf.it, and It is feared that Injuries may
: riuit which will ruin the horse ; for
i ; future use. The extent of the Injury
j! will be known for a day or two. In,
floundering upon the bridge while t
( tached to the buggy, the horse fell
upon the thills, breaking tbem hot h.
, A'lde frm this the buggy escaped

In the Capital City yesterday were J.
H. fluff and James Moorrs, father of
County Kuperlnk ndent E. T. Moires,
Mr. Buff reports many '-.improvements
at Silverton, : among which Is the saw
1 mill recently 4 etab)ihel by John
lichty. the capacity of ahlth Is 40,
000 feet per day.
The long wet sjell has delayed .work
on the farms Jn that section, he ray.
and as ai- consequence farmers , will
have to do mot of their fall work next
spring. Kpeaking of the general health
of the people of Silverton, Mr. d Buff
sa!d there had been five or six caf
of scarlet fever and about the : sam
numbe.r'Tof typhoid reported in that
town so far this winter. Asl3e"from
that, the health of the city is gcxd.r
. From Howell Prairie.
Among the representatives In the
.1l jr,, yesterday from Howell 1,'ralrle
was Fred Ksser. a staunch Cerman
farmer reaidlng near Pudding river.
There has been little work done on
the farms out that way, Mr. Kaser
says, as the season has been mo wet
that ploughing and seeding were im
ply, out of tbs question, and all such
work has been laid over until spring.
Ktill, in spite of the rain. Mr. Kassr
and his stalwart sons find something
to do. ''; i . . ' :r -
They have a fifty-acre hop yard, and
are engaged in getting out poles so as
to be ready for the 'work as soon as
string oprsi, ' Mr, Kaser had, a fine
crop of 'hops this year, but, like many
another Marlon county grower, h
contracted his crop early in th saon, j
thereby lozlng about 13 c-nts per;
something by his experience, though,!
and the chances are that It will not bo'j
safe for a hop daler to approach Mr.
Kaser next year on the subject of
contracting hops at a chilling a pound. j
