JKWKTT HKTI HXS.
Coroner N. T. Jewett return-
ed here late this afternoon
from Honey creek where he was
summoned following the accl-
dental death of Ceaser M irtinl.
He deemed an inquest unneces-
snry. The remains are enroute
to the city and will probably be

cemetery pome time Monday.
He was a member of the Cres-
cent City, Calif., lodge or Odd
Kellows.
Ceaser Martini, for the nast fifteen
years a resident of Douglas count
and for several mouths employed on
the farm conducted by his brother-in-law,
Edward Laslna, and situated
in the vicinity of Glide, was accident
ally killed on the bank of Honey
Creek, eight miles above Glide, shor
ly after 4 o clock yesterday arte
noon.
According to the story told by nor-.
sons who arrived here from GJ;t
this morning, Martini and his brother-in-law,
Edward Laslna, were en
ronte to the headwaters of Honey
creek to enjoy a few days hunting
whn the accident occurred. They
had reached a point about eight miles
north of Glide, from which place
they expected to pack their camp
ing outfit, and were in the act of
unloading their, paraphernalia from
tho wagon when the rifle of the 32
calibre variety suddenly discharged.
Laslna, who was standing near the
front of the wagon was startled to
hear the report of the gun, and up
on hastening to his brother-in-law's
a distance, found him standing
against the rear of the wagon box.
apparently suffering intense pain. In
another Instant, the unfortunate man
gasped for breath and ,sank to "the
ground.
His only wdrds'were: "I'm going
to die."
Although realizing that Martini
was seriously injured, Lasina was of
the opinion that his life could be
saved in the event medical assistance
was summoned. Consequently, he
hastened to a nearby telephone and
notified Dr. E. V. Hoover, of Rose
burg, who left for Glide shortly af
ter 6 o'clock last evening. After
sending the message Lasina returned
to the scene of the accident, and upon
brief Investigation, was astonished
to find that his brother-in-law was
dead.
Although there were no eye wit
nesses to the tragedy. It Is presumed
that Martini had attempted to pull
the gun from the rear of the wagon.

caught upon some obstacle with the
result that the weapon exploded. The
bullet entered the left breast and
came out under the right arm. Dr.
Hoover, who went as far as Glide,
and turned back upon finding that
the man was dead, is of the opinion
that death was almost instantaneous.
In fact, he says the bullet penetrat
ed the vital organs and no power on
earth could have saved the patient.

LOS ANGELAS, Cnl., Oct. 28.
With the record showing that the
defense in the McNamara case was
forced to proceed ' after Attorney
Clarence Harrow had declared that
Mc.Namara's constitutional rights had
been disregarded by Judge Bordwell,
who refused to decide on two chal
lenges of the defense immediately as
requested, the trial was resumed tod-ay
with both sides In a fighting
mood.
The defense asked for decisions
relative to the challenges of Winters
ind Hampton, both of whom declared
they believed McNamara guilty of
the crime charged. While the attor
neys for tho defense are cheerful, It
can be plainly seen they are worried.
During the first few days the defend
ant's uttorneya entertained little
doubt but what McNamara would be
acquitted without prolonged deliber
ation upon the part of the jury. As
the days have passed, however, there
has been a change in the attitude of
Attorney Parrow and his assistants,
and they feel as though the prose
cution Is loaded with evidence detri
mental to the defendant.
LOS ANOKLKS. Oct. 28. The
most important point in today's pro
ceedings of the McNamara trial was

prejudice against unions. A venire

Setting The Pace
ESS
THAT is our maxim in
business. We argue
that by giving our
customers the best
value for their money, the
best styles, the best work
manship and the lowest
prices, we ensure their
patronage in future seasons.
It has always come out that
way in the past, and it will
certainly do so this season,
for our models are the best
we have ever offered, and
those who have already in
spected our goods proclaim
them to be remarkable val
