-. . THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, TTTESPAY. DECEMBER 28, 19Q9. . , 7 MASKED PiHEN SEIZE SLAYER; KILL' Sheepherder Murders Horse man on Range, Five Wrest Him From Captor. AIMED RIFLE HALTS POSSE Point Two Miles From Hamilton, Or., Is Scene of Lynching. Arthur Green Slain Everett Snyder Mob's Victim. CANTON CITY, Or.. Dec 27. (Special.) Taking the law Into their own hands, five masked men near Hamilton, several mllea southeast of this city, riddled the body of OUie Snyder, a sheepherder, with bullets early yesterday morning, after wresting him, at the points of their guns,' from the possession of Deputy Sheriff Cassldy. Snyder murdered Arthur Green, a horseman, Christmas eve on the Wat kins range, 15 miles from Hamilton. But for a cartridge lodging in the magazine of a repeating rifle he held, Snyder would probably have killed Charles Brimer, a sheepherder employed with Green by J. W. Beymer. Men Quarrel Over Dog. News of the double tragedy reached here today. From the -meager details known by the courier it appears the shooting of Green was cold-blooded, though not premeditated. Green, it ap pears, was acting as peacemaker between Snyder and Brimer, who were quarreling over Brimers sheep dog, which Snyder threatened to shoot. The quarrel continued until after the men finished supper at 7 o'clock that evening In the sheep camp. Then Snyder, seised with sudden anger, rushed for his gun. whereupon Green attempted to in terfere. Snyder instantly wheeled upon him and fired point blank, killing Green Instantly. He then tried to Bhoot Brimer, but a cartridge Jammed in his gun. Bri mer, seizing the opportunity, made his escape to the ranch-house, five miles away, from where the authorities were notified. Posse Held Back. Snyder fled Into the hills. A posse, headed by Deputy Sheriff Cassldy was soon organized and pursued the fugitive. All night Snyder held tho posse back with his rifle and when the men finally went to a nearby cabin to confer on the situation, Snyder suddenly appeared at the door and surrendered. Snyder, early the next morning, was taken to Monu ment In the same conveyance that bore the body of Green. Deputy Sheriff Cassldy left early Sat urday morning with his prisoner for Canyon City and when only two miles out of Hamilton was stopped by five masked men who commanded Snyder to get out of the buggy and compelled Cas sldy to drive on. Cassldy drove out of sight and doubled back In a roundabout way, returning an hour later to find Snydor lying at the side of the trail, his body riddled with bullets. Green was very well liked, while Sny der had many enemies, being of a quar relsome disposition. A grand Jury investigation may follow . the lynching of Snyder. SherU. Collier, Coroner Shelton and Deputy District At torney Cattanach left here today for the scene of the murder and lynching to in vestigate. It is probable that the lynchers will he identified. New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses rplienm. QUITE above par. one might say of the Orpheum this week, for Indeed every act Is well worth while. The headllner is Arturo Bernardl, an Ital ian artist who might gather unto him self several medals as a champion In rapid change of costume. His programme presents enough variety and is lengthy enough for an en tertainment in itself. Bernardl first presents a playlet, entitled "Gerolamo's Escape," in which, by a succession of lightning, changes he assumes eight different characters, each with entirely different voice. His act has been seen here before In various stages of advancement, but never has anyone equaled Bernardl. In the sec ond Installment of his offering he de scends into the orchestra pit and gives Impersonations of well-known com posers. These are most faithful copies, and include Sousa, Verdi. Meyerbeer, Wagner, Gounod, Mascagnl and Liszt! Following this. Bernardl gives a sur prising exhibition of the manner In which he makes his changes, with -an expose of his methods that Is as novel as it Is diverting. The walls and hang ings, furniture, etc., are shown in a state of transparency, and all that goes on during Bernardi's absence from the scene are evident to the audience. His two assistants and their method of get ting him Into his clothes in the wings are Interesting and decidedly Instruc tive. The Chad wick .trio has an amusing farce comedy which Is made vibrant with mirth by the antics of Ida May Chadwlck, who is a dandy fine little buck dancer. A comedietta,V'For Sale. Wiggins' Farm," serves as an excellent excuse to present Miss Chadwick. whose laugh Is as spontaneous as her dancing, and whose costume is an alarm. Inci dentally, Ida May's pa Is a comedian who pleases. The four Readings are O. K.. all wool and a yard wide, acrobats and equilib rists, who are warranted not to rip, ravel or rtin down at the heel. There's not one Idle or dull moment In their act. The interior of a gymnasium serves as a background for the excel lent work they do. Their flying leaps are marvels of daring and dexterity. Quite above the ordinary and possessing decided merit is the Readings' act. Monroe Hopkins and Lola Axtell pre sent a unique offering, "Trolley Trou bles." which is new and full of bright lines.- Some of the patter and ditties preceding their presentation of "Trol ley Troubles" might be allowed to run on pasture now that their a'ge of use fulness is over. Especial mention needs be made of Hopkins' dancing, which is a sort of spineless maze of Intricate steps and possibilities that relegate one Georgie Cohan's terpsl chore back into the tall uncut. The Dagwell sisters are a duo of good-looking maidens who sing an his torical cycle of songs. Their voices are sweet and eultivated. and the act is most artistic. Clad In colonial garb, with plumed hats, high heels, directoire sticks and quaint bodiced gowns, the sisters sing an old-time ballad with grace and charm. In keeping with the picturesque costume; changing to the Civil War period, their songs partake a flavor of the Sunny South land, and HIM their costumes are daintily suggestive oi miniatures one sees of poke bonnets shading a laughing, curl-framed face, with lace mits and tiny shawls. The last change shows the maiden of today a flash and dash of plumes, gay mod ern raiment and a rag-time song. Mr. and Mrs. "Voelker present a high class musical act called "Twilight in the Studio." The stage setting Is par ticularly attractive. Mr. Voelker plays the violin with much feeling and power, Mrs. Voelker being his accompanist. A note of "difference" Is given their act by the manner of its production. Among other Innovations they present a boy playing by ear. a self-conscious young student, and the mature artist. For an encore to his more serious num ber, Mr. Voelker gave "Pizzicato." mnd his rendition aroused great applause. Decidedly good is the act given by that clever and winsome comedienne, Una Clayton, who is a consummate lit tle actress with certain ability. With Mona Ryan and Francis Morey, she pre sents a tabloid play, "His Local Color.' Miss Clayton, who is charming and sin cere in her work, portrays a little East Side New York thief, who adjusts mat ters for an artist and his sweetheart. The story Js a cleverly told bit of com edey with tears always lying close to the surface. It was one of the telling counts on the bill. Quite a diversion was created before the purtain went up, by a little boy. three or four years old, who sat on his sister's lap in one of the boxes and "led the or chestra.55 beating out the time in true Creatore style, and working up the cre sendoes and climaxes like a veteran. His efforts elicited loud applause, and the orchestra obligingly gave an encore. Grand. ONE of the most uproariously funny acts that can be Imagined Is given this week at the Grand. Obey, the bucking mule, Is responsible for the mirth. He Is a modest-looking Jack who can kick more, to the square yard than there are ticks to a minute. A premium is offered to anyone who can stick on the bucking "broncho" for four consecutive minutes. Various determined aspirants who lose out furnish the fun. Later a revolving automatic machine of virulent form Is Introduced, which proves even more obstreperous than Obey. After a number of competitors are whirled through space, a watch-charm variety of Shetland pony wins the day, Bticking to his post like a sea captain going down with a sinking ship. Grand opera is the most appealing feature of thiS week's bill. Madame Le Brun, who was formerly soprano with the Metropolitan Opera Company, is the star. Madame Le Brun is a strikingly handsome woman of Juno esque proportions who has a brilliant voice which she uses with intelligence. She is assisted by Fritz I-T. Huttmann and Robert Mallory, who give a scene from "II Trovatore." The costumes worn by the trio are handsome, par ticularly that of the -prima donna, whose array of jewels and silver gown look like a glimpse of the Great White Way. Ray Fern, in a singing monologue, proves popular, as does Gertrude Van Dycke. The latter is a Dresden china type of ingenue, who is a capable actress and possessed of two distinct voices, a lyric soprano and a voice which comes near being a full-fledged baritone. Her singing of a love duet was artistically done. Val Tralnor and Myrtle Dale have a skit which serves to give them an oppor tunity for some funny lines, a dash of pathos and an excuse for singing "A Strenuous Pupil" is a melange of songs and dancing and some comedy, though on of the songs is decidedly broad. Later the performers redeem them selves in a Chinese stunt in which they wear elaborate Oriental robes. There are nine numbers on this week's bill which, taken collectively, is a bine ribbon winner. It is entertaining throughout. Pantages. DISTINCTLY different from anything seen In local vaudeville is a spectac ular scenic novelty, "Roosevelt in Af rica," which is the top-lined act this week at Pantages. For the matinee the S. R. O. sign was hoisted and the audi ence applauded the various turns with characteristic holiday enthusiasm. The big act relies for the most part on the elaborate scenic effects. A Jungle prod igally luxurious with its mass of forest foliage, made more realistic with Its score of vividly plumed birds and obstreperous monkeys, makes a .setting both pictu resque and unique. Arthur Huston, in Roos.eveltlan disguise, makes a stab at Juggling, bnt is frustrated by monkey shines and by weird-looking animals who appear from the least expected places. As a travesty on the ex-President's Af rican campaign, it is amusing, parodizing the mighty hunter of both animals and notoriety. Proving popular with the audience were the Orpheus Four, who sing well, but feel it incumbent to introduce some slap stick comedy. Zinkz Panna, a. name which only a seal could pronounce correctly, belongs, strangely enough, to a handsome young woman, who is a Hungarian violin vir tuoso of decided ability. The aforemen tioned artist of impossible name is a thor ough musician. On an unusual-looking instrument, which sounds not unlike a harp, she plays in & brilliant manner the Liszt "First Hungarian Rhapsodie," and "Cavalleria Rusticana," and also at tempts a popular spasm, which is obvious ly out of her line. Later, to the accom paniment of her violin music, her three tiny dogs add materially to the act. A big black, wooly poodle imitates a hand organ grinder, and two diminutive ca nines of the Spitz variety give a version of the "Merry Widow" waltz. Kternan, Walter and Klernan, in a do mestic satire entitled "A Royal Cook," give a very entertaining 15 minutes. The situations are funny and the lines bright. Jacobs and Sardel are acrobatic jumping comiques, who had a few new stunts to offer. The entire bil is diverting, and ther'e is nothing hackneyed or stale to be found with a microscope. LOUIS BARZEE PRESIDENT New Head of Alberta Club Argues for Co-operation. The Alberta Improvement Association met last night In the hall n Alberta and East Fifteenth streets and electee the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Louis Barzee; vice-president, J. W. Lundy; secretarj-, H. D. Wagnon, Jr. ; treasurer, W. L. Wood. The new president, in taking the chair, said that if it was expected, that the club would do effective work there must be co-operaition, and that if there was. not co-operation he would swing the big stick. He was authorized to appoint a special publicity committee. All committees will be appointed at' the meeting next Mon day night. Chairman Myers, of the street -committee, reported that the matter of widen ing of Alberta street between L'nion avenue and East Fourteenth street had gone back to he viewers to readjust the assessments. He said, that on the widen ing of Alberta street depended the lay-' ing of double tracks. It was decided to hire a special car and go in a body be fore the. street committee when the mat ter comes up for final consideration. Sec retary Wagnon was instructed to ask the Council to expedite delinquent street con tracts in the Vernon district. The meeting was the' most enthusiastic and best-attended ever held in the district. SILETZ SQUATTERS ONCEHREHELPED Injunction Against Them Asked by Homesteaders Denied by Judge Bean. CASE HALTS IN LINCOLN Judge Harris , Asks Briefs Before Rendering Decision Federal ' Court Holds Injunction Not for Trespassers. . Siletz squatters won a second victory yesterday over the original homestead ers whose entries are suspended by the Department of the Interior, when Jude Bean handed down a decision In the fa mous case of Hare vs. Blrkenfleld in United States Court, denying an Injunc tion asked against the squatters. They secured an armistice In the court of Judge L. T. Harris in L'.ncoln County when the latter advised the attorneys in a similar case that he desired additional Information in the way of briefs. The controversy which Judge Harris has un der consideration is that of Holverson vs. Braesfleld. Judige Beean would not recede from the position .assumed some weeks ago when he refused to erant an iniunction in the same ra.sj. rewrrn tyifTi c th ftnnat. ' ters from entering upon the lands claimed by homesteaders. Chester V. Hare filed on the land In July, 1802, when the Indian Reservation lands which were not claimed in severalty came on the market subject to entry. He asserts he lived there until Febru ary 21, 1903, during which time he says he made necessary Improvements in the way of clearing land and putting up buildings. Hare then went before the land officers for the Lincoln County dis trict and commuted his entry, paying cash for tho land. While the entry was pending an order for suspension was made by the General Land Office and an examination was made by special agents. Blrkenfleld Becomes Squatter. On October 15. 1909, August Blrkenfleld entered upon the land as a squatter and trespasser, and with the avowed inten tion of acquiring a preference right of entry in case the land office should finally reject the proofs submitted by Hare and refuse him a patent. Hare brought a petition for an injunc tion to 'restrain Birkenfield from enter ing on the land, which In effect would have been an order of ejectment, and al leged that Birkenfield was cutting timber on the land to the injury of the original locator. In the petition which Judge Bean disposed of yesterday. Hare admitted that if he could remove Birkenfield from the land In question the relinquishment could be sold for $4,500 and that the purchaser would enter upon the land and take chances of ultimately receiving title. It is admitted by all parties to the contro versy that the timber on the claim is easily worth $10,000. The statement of facts as relating to the claim of Hare' applies, it is said, with equal force to claims owned by some 40 other locators who entered the Siletz under similar circumstances, and whose claims are alleged to have beeri jumped! as soon as the homesteaders left the woods. Judge Bean holds that the rule is well established that a court of equity will not exercise the unjunctive remedy In cases of trespass. "Injunctions are granted by such courts only when the damage inflicted is Irre parable and the remedy at law inade quate," said the court. ' Injunction Xot Allowable. "The land was wild, unoccupied, unln closed and unimproved at the time Birk enfield entered ilpon It, and so heavily timbered as to be unfit for cultivation. Since the date of his commutation Hare has not been in actual physical posses sion of the land. Injunctions cannot be substituted for a cause of action for damages." In dealing with the question of the right of entry which might be acquired by Birkenfield's being a squatter on the land should the application and entry of Hare be cancelled by the land of fice, the judge said: "The court is not concerned at this time about the respective rights of the parties to this litigation, should the application of Hare be cancelled." From the court of Judge Harris of Lincoln County comes an indication of the decision to be maije in the Holver-son-Brassfield case. It is reported it son-Brassfield case. Holding that Brass receipt Issued. Holding that Brass field is a trespasser and that Holverson is entitled to possession, the court in dicates that some other remedy than an Injunction might be sought He said: Judge Harris Wants Advice. "Up to this time at least the plaintiff has not brought himself within rhe rule and if plaintiff has the right to maintain an action of ejectment, then plaintiff is required to. seek his remedy in a court of law as dis tinguished from a court of equity. If, how ever, plaintiff has no remedy at law. then he is entitled to an injunction removing Broasfleld or aoy other tresspasser. I do - not undertake at this time either to decide or intimate any opinion as to whether plaintiff has a remedy at law. for the reason that I prefer to have the benefit of the views of counsel on that question. The question was not argued in this case but I inferred from the statements of coun sel that the question had been presented by 'them in a case pending; in the Federal Court, and I therefore assume that coun sel are prepared to present the question. Acting upon "tb assumption plaintiff will be given opportunity of submitting within three days a brief presenting his views, and counsel for defendant three days there after for his brief. It is announced by -A.' W. Lafferty, counsel for the plaintiff, that the deci sion against the claimants to the land will not be considered as disposing of the cases, but that a remedy will be sought from some other court which will eject the squatters. Feeling Is said to be running high on the Siletz and only cool counsel has been able to pre vent a clash between the men aligned on either Bide of the question. Squatters are rushing in daily, guid ed by cruisers who are said to have secured the numbers of the lands af fected by the Government's order for Investigation. From $500 to $1000 is being paid for such information, it is said. CARD OF THAXKS. We desire to express our heartfelt thanks to the many friends, also mem bers of W. O.

METHODIST MINISTERS ADVO CATE "ROSE SCSDAT." At Its meeting yesterday morning-, the Methodist Ministerial Association took: up the suggestion made by. Dr. Spencer S. Sulliger. superintendent of the Vancouver district, tor "Rose Sunday." ' A committee was ap pointed by President Jeffrey, con sisting of Rev. J. W. McDougall. pastor of Mount Tabor Church; Rev. J. H. Cudlipp, pastor of Grace Vhurch; Rev. E. H. Mowry, pastor, of the First Methodist Episcopal Church South, and Dr. Sulliger. This committee will take up this sub ject with the general Ministerial Association next Monday morning. It is proposed to make Sunday, fol lowing the close of the Rose Fes tival each year, "Rose Sunday," when all churches are to be deco rated with roses and when the min isters are to preach "rose" sermons. . In the First Methodist Church, where three years ago he met with his brethren of the episcopacy and mem bers of the g-eneral committee on home missions and church extension, and labored with them In the most Im portant work: of distributing- $1,000,000 over the home fields of Methodism, Bishop Daniel A. Goodsell was eulo gized yesterday morning- by the Metho dist Ministerial Association. Charlew W. Smith, resident Bishop of Oregon, and E. H. Hughes, resident Bishop of California, were present, the occasion therefore being made the more memorable.

Bishop Goodsell had a host of friends in Portland and Oregon as well as throughout, entire country. He was elected to -the episcopacy in 1885, serving- continuously until his death last week, resulting from an operation. He had served the church all his life, be fore being elevated to the highest posi tion within Its gift, as a preacher and later as secretary of the board of edu cation. He was one of the most loved of all the bishops. How Bishop Won Co-Workers. While in Portland in attendance upon the general committee on home mis sions and church extension here three years ago he made a host of friends by his kindly manner. He was looked upon as one of the most conservative of the bishops, and he was extremely careful In making ills appointments at the annual conferences, as he dreaded to wound the feelings of any member. Yesterday morning's service was de voted exclusively to the memorian and to the proposed Rose Sunday, suggested by Dr. Spencer S. Sulligem. superintend ent of Vancouver District. Rev. H, P. Blake, fcmeraber of Sunnyside Church, read trie resolutions, after which pray ers were offered b President W. R. Jeffrey, Jr., pastor of University Park Church, and Rev. "Father" John Flynn, the oldest living Methodist preacher in Oregon. . . After reading the resolutions and the prayers. Bishop Hughes, who is passing through Portland, spoke In a touching manner of his fallen colleague. The bishops have just closed their annual sessions with the general committees, held in Eastern cities, Bishop Goodsell being in attendance. It was not gen- 1 erally known that- he was afflicted with what proved to be a fatal illness, a carbunckle on his neck, an operation naving Been performed. Bishop Hughes Gives Credit. Bishop Hughes spoke of the high qualities possessed by Bishop Goodsell and gave him credit for being one of the most valued servants the church has ever had. Bishop Smith, whose home is In Port land, was next to eulogize Bishop Good sell. He said that while Bishop Good sell was noted as most . conservative. he also possessed to a marked degree a keen sense of humor, which was sel dom displayed publicly. It was in the qutet hours, spent with friends, that Bishop Goodsell was found to have a fondness for Jesting. He was extremely sensitive to criticism, being deeply wounded once when sharply taken to task by the son of a minister whom he removed from a district superln tendency in the East. . Dr. Fletcher Homan, president of Willamette University, of Salem, spoke briefly, as did also Dr. Sulliger and Dr; W. B. Holllngshead, superintendent of Portland District. Dr. Sulliger knew Bishop Goodsell well and was appointed superintendent of Vancouver District by him in 1893 at Seattle.
