Promises to Itt'arh' the Higher
Courts.
Attorneys for the Southern Pacific
Railroad company this morning filed
a demurrer to the complaint in the
case of the City of Roseburg vs. The
Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
The case was originally brought by
the city upon a complaint filed by
John Busenbark of Melrose, who
claimed that the Southern Pacific
company violated the city ordinance
providing that no railroad crossing
within the corporate limits of the city
should be blocked for a period of
more than 10 minutes at a time.
The railroad company contends
that the farts set out in the complaint
are inrtLfficient to constitute a cause
of action; that ordinance No. 352.
under which the rase was filed, is
uucns'itutional, and that said ordi
nance is against public policy and la
an unreasonable restraint on Inter
state commerce.
Tlie questions raised by the rall
r':ui company are cnnsiil.-rt'd imoort
rm; uncs. and it looks as though the
pr-Vn will reach the highest cour's
'r,f r!,c state before a final decision

Brown Hansard, twice convicted
on charges of bootlegging in Linn
county, and a few niuuths ago ar
rested on a similar charge at Von
calla, was on trial before a jury in
the circuit court today. Hansard
was represented by Attorneys XV. XV.
Cardwell and Albert Abraham. Dis
trict Attorney George M. Brown ap
peared on behalf of the state.
The most important witnesses In
troduced by tho state were Robert
X' catch, a local detective, and Deputy
Sheriff Daugherty. or Yoncalla. Air.
X'eatch testified that he was em
ployed by the slate to investigate
Hansard's resort at Yoncalla, and
while acting In su"h a cupacity he
purchased a half pint flask of whis
key, for which he paid Mr. Hansard
25 cents. Tills whiskey, X'eatch said
he placed in his pocket and left the
resort. Going directly to the Yon
calla State iiank ho met Deputy
Sheriff Daugherty, and according to
pre-airangement the. latter took the
whiskey. Hansard was later placed
under . arrest and brought to this
city where he was given a prelim
inary hearing and held to appear be
fore, the grand Jury serving during
a previous session of court. In ad
dition to the oral evidence intro
duced by the Btnte a revenue license,
Issued by the Portland office of the
government, was admitted In evid
ence. This license, so the law states.
Is (prima facie evidence .that Hho
holder is engaged in selling intoxi

Hansard failed to go on the wit
ness stand In his own behalf.
Tho arguments, which began
shortly after 11 o'clock were still In
progress at three o'clock thlB after
noon. Attorney Albert lAbrnhani
made the opening argument for the
defense and in a brief way covered
the evidence as Introduced. He was
followed 1 Attorney Cardwell.
District Attorney Brown delivered
both the opening and closing argu

Interposed objections. As often, At

Judge Hamilton. Notwithstanding
these objections, however, the dis

Cimis County People Desire to Know
What Douglas County Intends I
to lo Regarding u Con- ?
netting Line.
In order to determine what action'
Douglas county contemplates taking
in the matter "of a permanent high-!
way between Douglas and Coos coun-j
ties the county court of the latter!
county on Friday postponed calling
a special election to vote $40U,uuu
road bonds until the next terhi of
court. The Coos Bay Times in a re
cent issue has the following to say
with regard to linking the two coun
ties with a permanent hikhway:
"The filing of the petition of the
C003 County Good Roads associa
tion asking tho Coos County court
to call a special election to vote on
the issuance of $440,000 bonds fur
constructing good roads was today
postponed until the next term ; of
court. The petition with the requis
ite number of signers had been pre
sented to Clerk Watson, but it had
not been f.led and tills was deferred
until a new apportionment for ,the
money could be worked out.
"The matter was taken up with the
cotmty court and others interested
at Coquille this morning by H. C.
I Hers and Peter Loggie of North
Rend. They pointed out that owiag
to the new demand in Douglas county
that the road via the Umpqua to the
sea be built Instead of the Douglas
part of the Myrtle Polnt-Rosouurg
road, that it would be unwise for
Coos county to spend a large amount
of money between Myrtle Point and
the Douglas county line. They
pointed out that if Douglas county
did not build its portion of the Myr
tle Point road, a large amount of
money would be spent almost useless
ly by Coos county.
"They proposed that instead of
spending the bulk of the $440.1)00
between Myrtle Point and the Ikiuff
ins county line that it be used in
cpiifdruetion of roads in Coos county
that would accommodate the most
people. Their idea was to have the
money used to build from Handou to
: tie Curry county lino, -then build a
permanent road from Myrtle Point
via Coquille to Marshfield and North
Rend and also to expend some of the
money in building a road to Ten Mile.
"Willi this work done in tho county
they' -stated that Coos county would
lie in a position to connect up with
either road that Douglas county fin
ally decided to build, whether it is
llu; Cmpqua route or the Myrtle Point
route.
"The county court, Dr. Hurtle stat
ed, took a similar view and no action
will be taken on the special election
until the next December meeting.
"Chns. T. Dennis, of Ten Mile, Dan
Walker, of Templeton, and John Ol
son, of Kenluck Inilet, were also over
to Coquille about the same matter.'
