The preliminary examination of Otis Savag-t began yesterday before Justice Davis. Unlph ii)ona w as also present, though bis examination will not begin till Savuge's ends. All day crowds hung around the justice's ollice, await ing the appearance of the prisoners. The attention of the justice w as occu pied until 4 o'clock with the extortion case against II. Uaedicke from Dufur. It was I! o'clock before this was con cluded, and then the crowd was reward ed by hearing the robbery cases called. The throng in the small oflice was eo great that a suggestion was made to ad journ to the courthouse, where the trial was held. The circuit courtroom was completely filled w ith spectators. The state was represented by Pros. Atty. Jayne nnd Deputy i. W. Phelps. There appeared for the defense Messrs. Huntington and Wilson nnd A. S. Pen nett. The prisoners have secured a fino combination of legal talent, and a bitterly-fought cast? can easily be foreseen. Much deiay was caused by witnesses not being present. The prosecution was somewhat taken aback when if. S. Wil son asked for an order from the cuurt excluding from the room all witnesses except the one on the stand. Mr. Jayne didn't have all the etato witnesses subpienaed, and had to ask for time. Mr. Wilson insisted on the rule being enforced, but Mr. Jayne made an es pecial request that Mr. Gen Inch, the superintendent of the express company, be allowed to remain in the room, as it was necessary to consult w ith bint. Mr. Wilson suggested that they put Mr. Geutsch on the stand first, and obviate the difficulty in that way. Mr. Jayne didn't wish it done that way, and finally Justice Davis allowed the request and Mr. (ientscb staid in. The other ex press officials and detectives filed out. More time was then taken in waiting for witnesses. Savage seemed the coolest nnd least concerned person in the room, lie read the newspaper and seemed only casu ally interested in the proceedings. HiB self-possession will go a long ways w ith the jury. He was naturally the object of all eyes, but be didn't seem to know it, or if fie did gave no evidence that it bothered him in the least. Finally all the subptrnas were served and the first step in the most important and sensa tional trial in the history cf Wasco county began. The prominence of the parties, the confession of Klein, and the ability of the lawyers in the esse, all tend to make the interest intense. THE EVIDENCE. Kdwin Kurtz, the first witness on the part of the state, was the messenger that brought the money from Portland Octolter 13th Received two sucks of gold and three sacks of silver from the Portland office ; made onr way bills and placed the money in the treasure box. At The Dalles the train pulled some dis tance past the depot and the express was slow in being transferred to the wagon. Agent Hill came and receipted for all express matter, including the money. A special receipt form was made out for the banks to sign. Wit ness stated the coin was all consigned to French & Co ; the amount was $15,000. Witness is now agent at The Dalles office, and succeeded F. E. Hill. Mr. Kurtz was shown the eacka which were said to contain the money, and identi fied some of them. The seals were torn off and they were muddy and otherw ise damaged. As given to the agent the tw o sacks held 7 ,500 and $5,000 each ; the three sacks of silver contained 1,000, $500 and $1,000 respectively. Pros. Atty. Jayne conducted tho direct examination and Hon. II. S. Wilson did the cross questioning. The testi mony of this witness was merely to lay a foundation, and contained nothing startling. THE AUENT's STOKY. F. N. Hill was the next witness called. In anawe to questions by Mr. Jayne he stuted be had lived in The Dalies since November 1, 1887; been in the employ of Pucific F'xpresa Co. during that tint; previously ran three years as messenger from Portland to Huntington: took out the first express run on the O. K. & N. On the 13th of October Chas. Tibbets, the express driver, wished to go to the dance ; gave him permission. Was busy making out reports till nearly train time; about ft r. m. was told by Vivian French that money would be up from Portland on the midnight train. Hill went up Second street and saw Otis Sav age and Ralph Giboua sitting on the aidealk rail by John Hertz'a store; he called Gibona aside and told him about the coming of the money. On this point Mr. Hill waa closely cross-examined by Mr. Wilson, and stated that it was pos sible for Savage to have heard what he said. In response to questions Mr. Hill said that Mr. Crum also beard Mr. French tell him about the money. Af ter the train came in Hill and Gibona rode on the wagon and got the express ; Frank Connelly and VA Howell put the treasure-box on the wagon. When they arrived at the express office they carried the express into the office, with the aid of a Chinaman who happened along. I They put the box liebind the partition I and went to deliver the mail. As Hill and Gibons were going to Pranner's restaurant they met M. A. Moody re turning from the dance. Hill told him alsiut the money and be said lie would le baclc quickly. After delivering the oyetera Gibona remained in front ot the restaurant while Hill went up Second street. In front of Moody's hank he met Jim Plakeney, and they together went into the express oflice; Hill went in first and came back exclaiming, "I have been touched." The box w as broken open, one sack of silver lay upon the floor, and the way-bills were on top of the box ; the padlock waa broken. Soon afterwards Mr. Moody and Ralph Gib ons joined them, and a search began. The Chinaman who helped with the packages waa first arrested and then re leased. The alley was examined, and footsteps were found and a tag from a $1000 sa' k also. Mr. Moody measured the tracks, and they were covered with boards to prevent them being obliter ated ; the search was continued till morning. IILAKENKY'S EVIDENCE. City Marshal Blakeney was the next J witness. His testimony was mainly corroborative of Hill s; he covered the tracks. Blakeney was at the dance all evening and came down after the rob bery. He went to get a "gun," while the rest waited for him in the alley. Blakeney had not seen either Savage or Klein that evening. W HAT MB. MOODV SAW. M. A. Moody waa the last witness for the evening. He came from the dance and was told about the money coming by Hill. After the robbery he joined the searching party; he told about measuring the footsteps ; he did it him self and cut the size on a piece of paper. He testified as to his acquaintance with Savage and Klein, and that Savage was at or:e time in business with E. Jacob sen. Mr. Moody found the express tag in the alley. Today's Proceeding-" Court resumed this morning at 9 a. m. Mr. Zera Snow of Portland arrived last night and was on hand to represent the express company. The interest in the case increased. There isn't a point allowed to pass which isn't contested by the defence. During the proceedings Mr. Snow arose and asked that Sheriff. Driver be allowed to remain in the courtroom and assist in consultation. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bennett made earn est objections, which prevailed with the court, and Sheriff Driver bad to remain out in the cold. MB. T1BHETTS ON THE STAND. L'baB. Tibbetts waa the first on the stand. He testified to having come from the dance and gone to the express office; told about the various degrees of excitement each one was in. His testi mony was unimportant, and be was soon told "That's all." THE DETECTIVE NEXT. Sam Simmons next took the stand. Mr. Simmons is a detective, although ho told Mr. Bennett be is not a cele brated one. Mr. Bennett wished to as sist bis fume, but Mr. Simmons wanted to remain an humbledetective. His tes timony was quite interesting in giving a description of finding the money. He traced the robbers from the express oflice to where the money was hid, but didu't find it. He also told bow be met Ralph Gibous and Savage at the Co lumbia hotel corner, and calling Gibons, asked if that wasn't Savage. Gibons said "Yes, but don't touch him." Counsel for defence thought that was an undetective way of going at it, but Mr. SimmoitB said it was all tight. When the witness waa asked if he didn't sus pect Savage and Klein from the start, the prosecution objected, but it was overruled. After Sam Simmons was through, Mr. Gentsch waa called, but Mr. Jayne thought it would be better to put Frank Klein on the stand, and so be waa aent for. THE PKINCll'LE WITNESS. The spectatora crowded forward to hear every word that Klein would say. He appeared perfectly at ease and told his story in a straightforward way. It waa not hard to draw him out. He gave a history of what he said were bis rela tions to Savage and Gibons; bow they went up on a hillside at Badger lake and discussed the robbery scheme. Gibona didn't want to go in it. Finally they agreed and Klein made the key. Savage took a pair of nippers lrom Gunning's blacksmith shop and they got a steel bar from the section tool box at the depot, out of which the pry was made. They hid the tools under the crosswalk near the express office and waited the arrival of the money. The night of the robbery Klein went to bed between 9 and 10 o'clock. Savage was downtown. He soon came and woke Klein, telling him the money was coming. After dressing Klein went with Savage down Third street to the old courthouse and then turned and went to Maetz A Pundt's saloon. The train from Portland was standing in front of the Umatilla House. They then went to Harris' corner and while there were passed by Mr. W. C. Allaw ay. Hurrying towards the express office they hid in the alley under on old work bench and waited for the wagon. The story of putting the box in the office is the same as given by Hill. Wi.en Hill and Gibons were gone, the two boys hurried to the office, Savage carrying the steel bar. Klein unlocked the door and thev both ran to the treasure-box and We are Still In It, and You Know It. ' an silling more goods than cvrr, for the simple reason that Our PRICES are RIGHT. We ay more for other dealer Consult Your Interests, and Trade with JOLES. Telephone No. 20. broke the lock. They first tried to pry off the staple but failed. They then ran out the front door and up the alley. Re tracing their steps they went around the back of the Cosmopolitan hotel, threw the money under the shanty and went home. The next dav they went and re hid the money. After the robbery Klein said Gibons didn't wish to have much to do with the other two. Klein and Savage saw him frequently and Gibons told them they were suspected but that if they stood pat all would be well. The boys made up the story that in case they were called to account for their whereabouts that night they would say they went up to the dance to hear the music bnt didn't go inside. In this city, Thursday, Nov. 1st, Henry Clerish, aged about 56 years. Funeral tomorrow at 10 o'clock from Crandall A Burget'a undertaking rooms. Henry Clerish has resided in the city for over .twenty years, coming herein the early seventies. He had been a soldier in the Twenty-third regiment, U. S. Infantry, and came here from Camp Watson. He kept a saloon here for a number of years on First street, two doors east of Frarer & Wyndhani'a barber shops. Of late years the old man has made a precarious living black ing boots, having a stand nt the barber shop named. He was known to every body, and his funeral tomorrow w ill be attended by many who were his friends. In this city Wednesday, Oct. 31st, Mrs. J. D. Lawson, aged about 4i years. The funeral took place this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Lawson had been under treatment for cancer for several years, and returned only a siiort time ago from Portland. She leaves, besides her husband, three little children, aa yet too young to realize their irreparabie loss. To Produce the Body. Judge Bradshaw met himself in his judicial capacity yesterday and listened to some habeas corpus proceedings in stituted by Attorney Riddell in relation to Charles Deckerl, who had been com mitted to jail by the justice of the peace of Columbia precinct. Deckert was sent to jail for thirty days, w ithout grace, for the larceny of stern-wheel cayuse per suaders, commonly called spurs. Not withstanding the fact that they were probably taken on the spur of the mo ment, and that the offender waa only a youth ot 10 years, the justice incarcer ated him in the jail. The law provides that the justice shall send to the sheriff a certified copy of the judgment, and as this waa not done, the proceedings were begun and resulted in the judge decid ing that there was no legal papers on file on which the boy could be held, and be was ordered released. As he had been in jail for three or four daye, out raged justice may be said to be satisfied, and the boy is happy. Tci the Sympathetic Ilufur ine.

This was after a challenge sent to Tygh by the 1st nine of Dufur, that on the follow ing Sunday that Dufur would meet the Tyghs at their piace and play a match game. But Tygh waa not prepared on that day to play Dufur, and sent them word not to come on that day. As soon as the Tygh nine were ready they sent a challenge to Dufur to come on. But what is the result? They cower be neath the lash of prospective defeat and neither come nor w rite. Joiix Wiu.um. The I'oMofWre Kohhery. Most of our readers, especially those in the country, may not understand the allusions made to the robbery of the Produce t han any in The Dalles. COLLINS & CO. THE RELIABLE FIRM. postoffice. The office here was robbed the night of September 7th, but the matter was kept quiet at the time at the request of the postal authorities. The mail sacks were found upon opening the oflice in the morning, inside of the office instead of in the hailway. The thievea gained entrance to the building through the back window, dragged the sacks inside of the oflice from tho hall way and cut them open. Four out of six registered packages were opened and $:18 in money secured. Mail belonging to Tom Ward, Sheriff Driver and Regis ter of the Land Office J. F. Moore, and letters addressed to Mrs. M. Le Ballister Mere opened. This is the robbery which Klein now says was committed by Savage, Gibons and him self, and for which they have been ar rested. j A Jersey L.lly. A Spokane deputy sheriff with the coroner and a newspaper reporter or two went recently to the northern boundary of the county to open a grave on a farm belonging to an old German named Her mann. Hermann's boy, aged Hi yeara, ran away some time ago and as the old man used to thrash him occasionally, the neighbors came to the conclusion he had, in a fit of anger, killed him. The discovery of a grave on the old man's ranch set all tongues to wagging, finally resulting in the visit above mentioned. The old man sat by the grave while the coroner and sheriff shoveled out the dirt and when they reached a depth of five feet and unearthed the decaying remains of a Jersey cow, the old man laughed a laugh that made neither the sheriff nor coroner smile. And then be told them the last he had heard of the boy he was in Cheney, where they could find out all about him. PERSONAL MENTION. Wednesday Mr. John Gill of Portland is in the city. Hon.
