THE MOUSING OREGOKIAS, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1903. HER WELCOME A GUN Aged Albany Bridegroom Re turns With Child-Wife, ram' MOTHER'S VENGEANCE Jilted for ner Daughter, She Had Svrorn to Kill, lut Ecr Aim Is Poor' and lmt One Shot Counted. ALBANY, Or., May 20. (Special.)-About 7:20 this evening Mrs. Maxfielflfcfired six shots at her son-in-law. Otto HalL Of the eix shots fired by Mrs. Maxfield only one, the first, hit Hall. The bullet struck the top button of Hall's trousers, glanced and struck a button on his undercloth ing, glanced again and ellght'y wounded Hall in the abdomen. About three weeks ago Hall, who con ducted a second-hand store In this city, 4oned with Charlotte, the 17-year-old aaugnier oi -urs. juaxneia. aims tuuiiic went to Vancouver, Wash., and were mar- ried. At the time of the elopment it was reported that both Mrs. Maxfield and her daughter were after Hall's hand, but the daughter outwlted her mother ana captured HalL Mrs. Maxfield sought the aid of -the po lice and exerted every effort to capture the runaway couple, but failed. Mrs. Max field swore vengeance against Hall and asserted openly that when she again met Hall she would kill him. Last night she nearly made good her word. Hall and his bride returned to Albany on last night's local from Portland, and were met at the deppt by a Jarge crowd of friends. Hall and his wife, accompanied by a friend, started for the east end of town. When at Second and Baker streets they met Mrs. Maxfield, who urg. d her daughter to leave Hall and come with her. The girl refused, saying she had married Hall and would stay with him. Mrs. Max field then turned to Hall and asked him if he remembered -that she had told him If he married the girl shewould kill him. Upon Hall answering in the affirmative she drew a revolver from under her cloak, placed it within three inches of Hall's ab domen and fired. Hall then started to run, and Mrs. Max field emptied her revolver at his fleeing form, but none of the shots took effect. Hall ran a short distance and stopped, exhausted from the effect of the shot. He was taken to a surgeon who dressed his wound. The wound Is very painful, but not fatal. Hall will be confined to his bed for some time to come. Mrs. Maxfield was seized by the friend accompanying Hall and his wife and subsequently turned over to the authorities and placed in jail to await developments. Hall is about 50 years of age. a widower, and has 11 children by his former wife. He has been a leading- figure this Win ter Jn dances in the east end of town. Hie conduct in eloping with the 17-year-old girl has been the cause o severe cen sure by people generally. In his present trouble he finds little sympathy. Mrs. Maxfield Is a hard-working widow, about 45 years of age, and until recently has been employed In the woolen mills here. Hall claims that L. D. Curtis, a re jected lover of the girl, persuaded Mrs. Maxfield to do the shooting and furnished her the revolver. LAST DAY OF LAND SALE. Rush a Salem Ilarpnln-Connter for School Tracts. SALEM. Or.. May 20. (Special.) Sales of school land were made today to the amount of 20,000 acres. This has been -the largest day's business in several years, and was due to the fact that the price of school land will be doubled tomorrow morning. This land, consisting of the 16th and SSth sections In each township, has been selling at $1.25 per acre. The last Legislature passed an act doubling- the price, and the act goes Into effect to morrow. During the last SO days the sales of land have averaged about 9000 acres a day, so that the sales have amounted to about 270.000 acres in the past month. There can be no doubt that many buy ers have been "stuck" and will be sorry they bought, even at the low price stated. On the ojher hand many K have secured valuible lands, which they will later sell at a fair profit. An instance is related of a man who bought, through himself and members of his family, three sections of land in East ern Oregon. He supposed it to be fair grazing land. He learned, however, from one who had been over the land, that it, is a barren waste, impossible of being made productive. "Oh, well," he said, "that slmp!.y means that I will find some one who is as big a fool as I am and sell out to him at an advance of 25 cents an acre." Almost all the sales have been made to persons who knew nothing of the land ex cept what they could learn from a map and the surveyor's field notes. Several men have been making good money "lo cating" purchasers on land concerning which they could give no other informa tion than that derived from these sources. The state will probably profit by this rush for land. Those who bought on the "grab-bag" plan knew what they were doing, and If they are disappointed they will have no cause for grievance. Many cf the purchasers will mako one or two payments and then let their certificates lapse, whereupon the state school fund will have the payments and the state will have the land. Doubtless much land has been sold at J1.25 per acre which would have brought doubie that sum five yearn later, when the state has developed more and the settled area has extended Into the interior.

One of the recent mysterious disappearances of persons from this city was explained this afternoon when George Coffenberry. who was walking through the woods on the hillside back of the city, found the body of a man hanging by a strap to the llmh of a tree.

C, May 20. At the Legislative inquiry regarding the Colum bia & Western land grants today. Sic Thomas Shaughnessy intimated in his evi dence that the Canadian Pacific Railroad might apply to the Dominion Government for a bill setting aside the bill passed by the British Columbia government cancel ling the grant of the .South Ivootenay lands to the subsidiary company of the Canadian Pacific. If the British Columbia government did not see Its duty and right matters. Cross-examined, Sir Thomas told of the coming of Commissioner wells to Mont real with the land grants and of his hav ing borrowed them as a matter of po litical expediency. Witness had .since learned that the patenta for the grants were in the Canadian Pacific vaults on the night of November 20, the date of the commissioners visit. After the cancellation of the grants, on Wells' return to Victoria, he regarded the matter as one of the courts and not for negotiation with the British Columbia Government. He said it was the lnten tlon to apply to the Ottawa government to disallow the "repudiation act of 1903." He also said that Mr. Taylor was not em cloyed by the Canadian Pacific, nor had he any authority to make proposals to- Commissloner wells. H. C. Oswald, secretary of the Columbia & Western Railway, gave evidence to the .effect that Wells brought him 25. drown grants, which he put in the company's safe. They were in possession of the company 24 hours. SHOT DY AN INDIAN. White Man Wounded WIthont Prov ocation. BOISE. Idaho. May 20. (Special.)

GOVERNOR GEORGE FOR STATE OF OREGON (Continued from FIrit Page.) fear car from which the President spoke was In full view of the great crowd as sembled to Join In the welcome. The crowd was systematically policed, under the direction of a special committee and an extra force of officers, and arranged so as to give the best possible chance to hear the President's speech. The place of honor near the train was accorded to the school children, who were out in a body, in charge of their teachers and wearing American-flags. The students of the Southern Oregon State Normal School also had places of honor with the school children. The space Just west of the Presidential train was occu pied by the Grand Army of the Republic In uniform and marshaled by Commander T. F. Hills. Company B, Oregon. National Guard, of this city. In command of Cap tain H. S. Evans, was allotted the space Just east of the platform, the lines of the two military organizations meeting n tha center of the railroad track Immediately to the rear of the Presidential platform. There was a pretentious arch of wel come through which the President's train passed Just before coming to a stop. It was located about 20 feet distant from the rear Of the train, and was directly before- President Roosevelt as he ad dressed the multitude. By a happy coin cidence, too, this arch was located within a few feet of the spot where, with great ceremony, in 18SS, the golden spike was driven to commemorate the connection of Oregon and California by rail. The arch was built to span the main track and with amplo room to clear trains at side and top. standing 34 feet high. The sides of the frame were covered with evergreens interspersed with Oregon grape, while there was a liberal intertwining of Amer ican flags. Across the face of the arch were marked In three-foot letters of Ore gon graps blossoms the words, "Welcome to Oregon." the effect being most pleas ing, and the significance of the libera use of the Oregon grape attracting the attention Of the Presidential party. At each upper corner of the arch, and also wreathed in Oregon grape, were large lithograph prints of the President, The piece de resistance, however, of the whole design was the surmounting Oregon moun tain Hon. A eplendld specimen of thl3 ani mal and a perfect model of the- taxider mist's art was secured from P. W. Pau sori, of this city, for the occasion, and the Hon was as natural as life, looking down stealthily from its high position, as If about to bound upon Its prey. The President's woll-known penchant for hunting mountain Hons was In view when the committee decided upon this feature of the design for the arch. The arch of welcome, with Its predominating wealth of flags, and the rich green and gold col ors of the Oregon graps, was something to attract the attention. of even the Presi dent of the United States, to whom it was Intended to do honor. The telegraph poles, the water anks IL DJDRNETT. E, CHAMBERLAIN. and the numerous buildings in the spa clous depot grounds were all resplendent in the red, white and blue of the myriads of American flags, while the National col ors that were everywhere upon the per sons or In the hands of the people com prising the multitude were a fit expres sion of the patriotism of the Oregonlans and the pride they felt In the arrival of the Chief Executive of the Nation within the borders of their state. After the President finished speaking and the applause had subsided, the band struck up "America," and the great throng of people, among-whom thousands of copies of the words of this popular patriotic hymn had been scattered, Joined In the singing of It, and emphasized the spirit of patriotism that was abroad. For the special entertainment of the people who came to Ashland from far and wide to see and hear the President an in teresting musical and literary programme was arranged at the Chautauqua Taber nacle at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The programme included 10-mlnuto addresses by President B. F. Mulkey, of the Nor mal School; .Mayor W. S. Crowell, of Sled ford, and Gus Newbury, of Jacksonville. Musical and elocutionary selections were also given. At 3 o'clock a baseball con test between Ashland and Jacksonville teams took place at the Athletic grounds. The celebration of the visit of the Presi dent was concluded with a grand ball at the opera-house this evening, which was conducted by the general committee of arrangements. This, like the other fea tures of the day, was a decided success, and, like the other arrangements for the day, had the hearty support of the people of Ashland. A field piece belonging to the State of Oregon, and which is kept at Ashland in the custody of Company B, Oregon Na tlonal Guard, was stationed on the sum mlt of Chautauqua Butte, a high point overlooking the city and valley from the southwest, and this echoed In no uncer tain way the general welcome to President Roosevelt as his train pulled Into the Ashland yards. The gunner in charge of the piece was Captain Frank Elliott, veteran of the Civil War. The general arrangements for the re ception to the President and the celebra tion at Ashland were In charge of a Joint committee of the city and of the Board of Trade. Tho chairman of this Joint com mittee was G. C. Morris. The Board of Trade part of the committee was made up of Hon. F. V. Carter, L. L. Mulit, H L. McWIlllams and F. D. Wagner, in ad dition to Mr. Morris. The committee ap pointed on behalf of tho city by Mayor D. B. Provost was composed of E. A. Sherwln. D. R. Mills, R. P. Nell, Dr. D. S. Sanford and J. K. Van Sant. x The day was a regular holiday, the places of business generally closing. BOISE MAYOR NOT SNUBBED, Xioeb Denies That President Will Not Ride With Him. ASHLAND. Or., May 20. (Staff corre spondencesSecretary Loeb says the statement published In a recent press dis patch -saying that Mayor Alexander, of Boise, Idaho, had been cut out of the list of those who should ride In the President's carriage in the parade at that city, is Undoubtedly erroneous. The dispatches alluded to stated that the Bolae reception committee had arranged that Mayor Al- evander, who is a Jew, and ex-United States Senator Shoup should occupy carriage with the President and Mr. Loeb The dispatch continued that when the list was forwarded, as is usual, to Sec retary Loeb for approval, It was returned wRh Mr. Alexander's name erased, and another substituted. At thlst said the dispatch, the Mayor was exceedingly wroth, and threatened to hold up the ap propriation which had been made by the City Council for the purpose of entertain lng the President. "As I have not yet seen the list pre pared by the Boise committee," eald Mr. Loeb, thi3 evening, "The statement must be erroneous. I saw the dispatch al luded to, but could not understand it. will say In this connection that at Boise our usual custom at capital cities wilt be followed, namely, td have the Governor of the state and the Maytor of the city opcupy the carriage with the President.' Simon Will Not Be Anavrered. President Roosevelt will not probably make any statement while In Oregon re garding the allegations made by Senator Joseph Simon that he-'was discriminated against by tho Administration on account of hio religion. He does not consider It worth while to contradict the statement. and will certainly not do sojless some of the political leaders ask hinX a. a niS ADDRESS AT ASHLAND. President Tells the Rcqttlftites GOd Citizenship. ASHLAND, Or.. May 30. (Staff Corre- spandence.) The address of President Roosevelt delivered in. this city was as follows: "My Friends and Fellow Citizens: "It Is with a peculiar feeling of pleas ure that I come to the State of Oregon. It has never before been my good fortune to visit It. and yet I know your people, I feel like them, and I believe in them. I know what you have done, I know the standard of conduct you have set, and it is the standard toward which I be lieve all our people should strive. In greeting all of you, I wish to say a spe cial word to those whoso greetings ever touches roe more than that of any other men, to the men of the Grand Army, to the men who in the Civil War dared and did things, because In big times they did things as. that placard over, there says. It waa because of what they did that we have a country now, that we have a President that can come to the Pacific Slope and be in his own country. (Applause.) "I also want tsy say a word of greet ing to my own comrades, the men, some of whom were in the little war of '9S. On behalf of them. I say that we wished at least to show that we had the spirit in us which you had a right to expect that the generation coming after you would have. We had in? our war a trou ble that did not touch the big war. In our case, there was not enough war to go around. It was a little task that was set to us, relatively speaking, and we did it, and now. as a consequence of do ing it, this country's future has opened -.1? .v -i tr" :"r? .'. .. .v,.,r . .ui I dent that whether we will or not, wo ,,. .,. -vTni . i must play, as a Nation, a great part I in the world. It is not open to us. my ! countrymen, to decide whether we will play it. All we can decide is whether we will play it well or ill, and such be ing the case, I can guarantee what the answer of America will be. (Applause.) . "When I "come here to this state, found ed in the early 40's by the men who came across the plains with empire In their heads; while I speak to you, I do not say that I preach not the Ufe of case, but the life of effort; not the life of those who seek only safety, but the life of those who exult In daring, if the time calls for daring; who flinch from no risk; from no effort. If only the effort and the risk are to be -justified by the prize at the end. When In 1S61 Abraham Lincoln called you to battle there were men of little faith who said tho days of great ness of the country were ended, and that ou could not again make the flajr whole. but you, and those like you, did Just what they 3ald was Impossible, to do. and you did It because In life there were things you prized more than life Itself. because you had In you the capacity to feel the life that generous souls feel when called upon In the name of an ideal. 'This country has risen because It has had within It the men who dared r.nd did. the men who dared to be great, tho men to whom an obstacle was something not be shirked, but to be conquered, and believe we shall go forward to an ever- increasing greatness In the future, be cause I do not believe that the sons of such sires will prove false to the mem ories left them by their sires. Qualities of Good Citizenship. "In citizenship, I ask for the Qualities shown not only by the men of the Civil" War, but by the men who founded this state, by the pioneers the men who came across the desert and mountain paths, or afterward up the seacoast the men who, in this new world, as Lowell said, 'pitched new states as Old World men pitched tent3.' Would we be standing here today if they had possessed merely the gentler, milder, softer virtues? No! I believe in the gentler, milder, softer virtues, and I believe In having others as well. I be Ueve, of course, In the man being decent, cleanly In life, deed and thought; acting squarely by his neighbors; being a good husband, a good father, a decent man to deal with, and careful to do his duty by his fellows and by the state and the Na tion. Of course, I believe in that first. If a man has not goj. the fundamental base of decency iri him. then the abler he Is the worse he is; Just as In your days the abler a man was, if he were a traitor, the more dangerous he was. But. in addition to that quality, we need others. I do not care how patriotic a man was In 1851, if he ran away you could do nothing with him. So in citi zenship, together with decency, we must have courage, hardihood, fearlessness; the power to be brave, the power to dare; tho ability to face the world and overcome It. We have "no use in our active hard Amer ican life for the merely cloistered virtue and stay-at-home, that bemoans that things are not better without trying to make them better. "We need here the type of citizen who goes out to conquer and to work in tha actual world as It Is. We need high ideals. but we need the power to make them ef fective In practical fashion. While this Nation has owed much to its Constitution, while much can be done by the law, and above all by the honest and fearless ad ministration of. tho law, yet In the last analysis the fate of the Nation will de pend not upon the law, but upon the character of the average citizen who works under and through the law. If we have got that type of character as typical of our people, we shall succeed. We shall succeed and win because we hav that type of character in our average citizen (Applause.) In the Civil var you needed the training, you needed weapons,, the uni form, but an of you know that In any regiment now and then you would find a man whom no training, no weapon could make of any use, because If he did not have the right stuff in him, you could not get it out of him. It 13 so in citizenship. Law can help us to use our strength to the best advantage, but law cannot give us that strength. Each man must in the last analysis be the architect of his own fate. Each man must depend upon the sum of his own qualities for success. If he cannot, you cannot make him success ful. If he cannot work for himself, noth ing can be done with him; and so it is with the Nation. The greatest republics in the past have spilt and foundered on many a rock, but we shall, I am sure. escape these rocks because we have a type of citizenship' such as never before" has been found in a Nation as great as ours." (Cheers and applause.) LARGE CROWD AT REDDING. President Captures the Crowd in Few-MInnte Speech. REDDING, Cal., May 20. Trinity, Tc OREGON STATE CAPITOL, WILL hama. Modoc and Shasta Counties were represented this morning in a. large crowd which gathered at the depot- here and listened to a ten-mlnuto speech by President Roosevelt. The President "brought down" the crowd twice, onca when. In' enumerating the qualities of good-citizenship, he concluded the list with "common sense, common sense al ways." The other time was when ho re marked that In his mind if there was anything worse than a hard heart it was a soft head. The crowd laughed, and concluded the ripple of mirth with cheers for Roosevelt. The President started his talk by tell ing of entering this state from the south and of leaving it by the north. The state, he said, was equal in size to many- an Old-World empire. He had enjoyed his visit immensely. He spoke of the- won derful diversity of California's resources. He said he was convinced that San Fran cisco, "in that wonderful harbor." would do its full share in dominating the com merce of the Nation. The speaker com plimented California's men and women, and brought forth cheers. He said the physical advantages of a country would be useless without good men. Other Na tions had failed because the type of citi zenship was different. The "President dwelt at length on the qualities of good citizenship. Among the gifts bestowed to those on the Presidential trains were specimens of copper, Shasta's greatest product. The President looked clear and bright after his night's trip through the Sac- ramcnto Valley.
