Another Onrillir CUIiuit Fraud.
Tboro was great excitement In Uugcno ,
Oro. , lost week , over what was recorded as a
great geological find. Fred Halston claimed
that while trylnp to recover some things
dumped fiom a boat Into the Willamette
rl\cr , six miles below Eugene ho saw some
thing In tno embankment that looked 11 ho a
human leg. Ho exhibited it In. town. It was
n solid plcco of stone which was nt first sun-
posed to ho n mummy. All the wrinkles ,
muscles and ligaments weio plainly trace-
nblo. The body represents n short , thick-set
man , witn traces of hoard and hair. The
features somewhat resemble these of an
Indian , with flat nose nnd largemouth
mouth , but the shnpo of the bead
would indicate moro Intelligence. The
nuns nnd Iocs are short In proportion to
the trunk. The eyes are closed and the
hands nro ling against the chest. The nip-
pie and ribs are distinct. The body with the
feet broken off is a little ever three foot In
length aud weighs about 200 pounds. The
Imago Is said to hnvo boon taken to the spot
for the pin pose of being found It Is now
said that It was hauled by an oxprcssmui
from the Southern Pacific depot to the bank
of the river. Experts pronounce It nn Imago
carved from stone , but Its resembnnco to a
corpse is so striking as to causa much inter
est.

upon the court , but the judce was compelled

Dutch John und llvo others were each In
dicted on six counts On one of thcso In
dictments Dutch John was placed on trial
and the Jury failed to convict , because the

After falling to convict DutUi John on oiicln-
dlUmont the other five went o\ur

this tlmo Judge Standiod wns taken seriously
111 , nnd court was adjourned until Jure Hi ,
when these cattle stealing cases will come up
and others will bo'Indicted , since there has
been enough brought out to warrant the
belief that souio seven or eight moro men
will bo indlctod These under indictment
now are all under bonds for their apponranco
at court. Iho defendants ha\o engaged six
or ok-ht lawyers , and the cattlemen will
have good counsel to aid the prosecuting at
