The Crook County Journal, May 19, 1904:
BOUND OVER TO THE GRAND JURY
Son Must Face the Charge of Assault with Intent to Kill His Mother.
General Prine was bound over in Justice Luckey's court yesterday afternoon in the sum of $1000 to await the action of the grand jury in October on the charge of assault with intent to kill his mother.
About a dozen witnesses were called for the prosecution during the hearing from whose testimony it was shown that facts regarding the assault did not become known until two days after it happened. Witnesses testified to the fact that Prine had spent most of his time up town on the pretense to trying to apprehend the guilty party while his mother lay helpless and unconscious part of the time at her home. Witnesses also testified that Mrs. Prine had been rather reluctant to say anything about the matter, stating as a reason that she did not wish her son into trouble. She also told her granddaughter, so the witness said, not to say anything about the assault as it might get General into trouble.
The aged mother was not present at the hearing, her condition being such that she was unable to leave the house. Her testimony was taken at her home, the court adjourning long enough to go to the home where she submitted her evidence.
The charge upon which Prine will appear before the next session of the grand jury is one of the worst which has come before the courts of the county. An aged women, near to 80 years of age, choked, beaten into insensibility, and left lying in an unconscious condition are some of the horrifying features upon which the grand jury will take action.

General Prine Arrested.
General Prine, who is well known here, was arrested this week at Prineville for an assault with intent to kill his mother, and on Wednesday was bound over to the district court under $1,000 bonds which he failed to furnish, and was committed to jail. The accused is a horse trainer of about 35 years of age and has been much addicted to drink. The assault was committed Tuesday night of last week and the aged mother with her nose broken and otherwise severely injured was left without care until the succeeding Thursday, when neighbors came to her aid. Much indignation was felt towards the son, who was charged with crime, and there was talk of dealing with him summarily. Calmer counsel prevailed, however, and he will now await a trial in district court. On account of her age, Mrs. Prine may yet succumb to her injuries. The motive of the assault is not yet fully explained but it is thought that it was an attempt to obtain $180 which the aged lady had in the house.

The Lake County Examiner, July 11, 1912:
Last week Sheriff Snider received a telegram from Culver, Oregon to hold the teams and wagon driven to Pine Creek by U.S Prine, and belonging there. Snider at once went to Pine Creek and finding that the property had been sold to parties in California arrested Prine and lodged him in jail awaiting the arrival of interested parties from Culver.

The Lake County Examiner, July 18, 1912:
U.S. Prine, of Culver, who was last week arrested by Sheriff Snider upon charge of larceny of some horses, Tuesday was given a preliminary haring before Justice Wm. Wallace and bound over under bonds in the sum of $1000 to appear before the grand jury at the Fall term of court. Thus far bail has not been furnished and he is being held in the county jail.
