The "wet" element of Roseburg Is Jubi lant tonight over the result of the city election held here today, when five of th six "wet" candidates were elected members of the City Council over the so-called "dry" champions by majorities ranging from 15 to 60 votes.

F. Sether by a majority of 15 votes. Local politicians affiliated with the "wet" faction attribute Hamilton's de feat to Eddy's address and declare that they would hav supported him had It not been for the charge of fraud pre ferred against the stockholders of tha Rosehurg Brewing A Ice Company, by Mr. Eddy. In the First Ward. S. E. Krohn. man ager of a local drugstore and a staunch supporter of the "wet" principles, de feated Clark L. Bar gar by a majority of over 60 votes.

Krohn was strenuously opposed by a handful of th "drys" who contended that his business relations were auch as to render him unfit for the office of Councilman. The "wet" element ac cepted this Inference as a personal slap and combined their forces In support of tha offended candidate. in the 8lxth Ward. North Roseburg. John Mullen, the "dry" candidate, de feated his "wet" opponent. H. Guest, a local baker, by 10 votes. Mullen has served aa Councilman during the past 12 month, and resides In a deccidedly "dry" territory. In the Second, Third and Fifth wards th so-called "wet" candidates were elected almost without opposition. They were: Dr. George E. Houck. Fred Chap man, druggist, and John Nachter. Th "wet" element accept today's vic tory modestly and contend that It only evidences that th sentiment In this sec tion haa undergone a great change In the past two years. They predict that the county will go "wet" In November. Out of tha 12 Councllmen at present representing the city, 10 ar said to be closely affiliated with th "wet" element.

Delving deeper Into the mystery. District Attorney Brown brought out assertions to the effect that Luhman and J. C. Alexander and his son. Mack, had engaged in previous disputes and that the trouble was the direct result of a controversy relative to some land purchased by Luhman and located In the Alexander Park Addition to the west of the city. Luhman said that he purchased a small tract of land from Alexander and that notwithstanding that there were no building restrictions in the lease, when he commenced the erection of a small residence, Alexan der objected for the reason that the structure did not meet with his ap. provaL Luhman testified that In consequence of the dispute over the erection of the residence Alexander denied him the privilege of utilizing the bridge which is owned and controlled by J. C. Alex ander for the exclusive convenience of those who purchase his land. Luhman alleged that his lease gave him the right to traverse the bridge and for that reason he refused to obey the command. He said that a few days prior to the Khontlna- Alexander accosted him as he was crossing the bridge and ordered him to leave the structure at once under nenaltv of a sound thrashing. He says he resented the instructions and for protection armed himself with a revolver. He asserted emphatically that he thought he was about to be attacked at the time he whipped the revolver from his pocket and tired and denied positively that he entertained any In tention of killing Alexander. Both J. C. Alexander and his son. Mark, contended In the court that Luh man attacked the latter out of a spirit of icvenge and not because of previous trouble.
