JIBES CAUSE SHOT Bullet Fired Into Crowd on Capital City. JAMES WATT IS WOUNDED Portland Excursionists "Josh" By standers on Wharf at Martin's Landing and Shooting Results. .rrest by Deputy Sheriff. A large crowd of Portland excursionists on board of the steamer Capital City, who had spent an enjoyable day at Martaln's Bluff, were thrown Into a panic just as the steamer left the dock, yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, when a man shot Into the crowd on the deck and severly wounded James Watt, one of the deckhands. The shooting was the result of merry-making on the part of those on board the boat, who, just as the steamer was leaving, were "joshing" and making fun of a large group of men and boys at the landing. The Portland crowd had enjoyed the short stay on shore and, as the Capital City was moving out into the river for the return trip, some one on board threw a boiled etcg Into the crowd on the wharf. The egg fell on the planks without hitting any of the by-standers, but it seemed to anger a well-dressed member of the crowd, for without a word of warning he whipped out a revolver and fired a shot straight Into the crowd. By the time the shot was fired the steamer was about 100 feet from the land ing. Practically every one on board saw the shining revolver pointed Into the crowd and a panic was narrowly everted. -Among the excursionists were a large number of women and when they saw the revolver and heard the shot, they began to scream and scurry for cover. Only the presence of mind of the officers nd crv and the cooler heads among the picnicers prevented a panic. It was not until the steamer had almost reached St. Helens that it was discovered that Watt was wounded. The bullet had ploughed Its way through his right arm making an ugly wound. Deputy Sheriff Frank Beattie, from Sheriff Stevens" office, was on board and secured a good look at the man as he fired the shot. When the Capital City stopped at St. Helens, Deputy Beattie landed and secured the assistance of the Sheriff there and at once returned to Martins Bluff. The officers searched the place and soon ran across the man who fired the shot. He was arrested and locked up in the jail at Kalama and will be held to await the result of Watt's injuries.

WASHINGTON'. June 21. With rami fications stretching from Washington City to the Pacific Coast states for sev eral years, the case of John A. Benson, millionaire real estate operator of San Francisco; Frederick A. Hyde, Henry P. Dlmond and J. H. Schneider, Indicted for alleged conspiracy - to defraud the Gov ernment of public lands, has hung in the balance before a jury In the District of Columbia Criminal Court No. 1 since Fri day afternoon. The case has attracted wide interest. After numerous delays the trial was fin ally begun in this oity on April 1 before Justice Stafford in' the Criminal Court. Nearly three months were occupied In presenting evidence, principally of a tech nical nature. Hundreds of records from the land office in California, Washington and Oregon were placed in evidence and much time consumed in their identifica tion by witnesses. Through the appropriation of $60,000 by Congress last WTinter to cover the cost of bringing nearly 200 witnesses from California and Oregon the Government was enabled to proceed with the case after numerous postponements due to lack of funds. It is estimated that the prosecution has cost the Government $100,000 or more. The Indictments charged generally that the defendants, from October, 1901, to February, 1904, In this city,, unlawfully conspired to defraud the United States out of large tracts of public lands In the West. It was alleged that Hyde and Benson secured title to school lands in state forest reservations by alleged fraudulent methodB and that these titles were then assigned to the United States Government for selection purposes under the act of 1897. securing the government attorneys allege. 100.000 acres in this man ner. Schneider, who was charged with secur ing titles to school lands in Oregon, was In the employ of Hyde for many years. The prosecution endeavored to prove that Dlmond, who was an attorney-at-law in San Francisco, was aware of the alleged overt acts of Hyde and Benson while acting as their attorney. Woodford, D. Harlan and William E. Valk, formerly clerks in the general land office in this city, were witnesses for the Government and admitted on the stand that they received money from Benson for expediting his application in the land office for lieu land selection. During the trial Benson barely escaped committal to jail for contempt of court by refusing to answer certain questions after Justice Stafford had Informed him that it was his duty to do so. " The presentation of evidence was finished June 12, and most of the last week was occupied with closing arguments of counsel. Judge Stafford's charge to the jury occupied three hours.
