Tay lor, arrested at Hoseburg yesterday on a warrant from iOuseiie, Ore., is the same person who three years ago was sentenced to a term of one year in the Idaho penitentiary for forgery is the belief of the officers of this city. At the time Marshall was seat to the penitentiary from this city he ad mitted killing a man, but gave no particulars of the crime. Seven - years ago a man named Schultz was killed at San Point. Idaho, and his slayer was never kiiown. That Mar shall was the slayer of Schultz is possible. Fred Marshall was never employ ed in an official capacity here, or in any other Idaho city. NOIlTir YAKIMA. Wash., Nov. 19. Fred A. Marshall, alias .1. H. Tay lor, arrested in itoseburg yesterday, is wanted here on charges of execut ing worthless hills of sale, mort gages and other securities. His shady operations in tills city totalled more than 4.0110. When he de parted from here last August with his family he left assets consisting of 60 tons of baled hay, a crop of ail'all'a, still uncut, and several horses of small value. Marshall worked an SO-acre tract on the Yakima Indian reservation for about a year before his disappear ance. Several banks and business houses of this city and Toppenlsh, are his creditors. Marshall freely mortgaged his horses, which were al ready covered with a hill of sale. Other horses, which he never owned, ho also mortgaged. He also secured credit here through false representa tions. Marshall is considered a danger ous character and the Yakima offic ers will make a determined effort to have him returned here for trial. That they have a clear case against him is their claim. .Marshall generally carries a suit case well filled with medicine which he exhibits when locked in jail. iTh rough this array of medicine be sometimes succeds n making the of ficers believe that he is ill and needs attention. Ho also travels with a crippled woman, who Is tboi'g.it U. be his daughter.

TO-DAY Is Abiaham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address This oration is one of the greatest events in our history. It is in form and spirit the most perfect cf appeals to patriotism, issuing' from the lips of the noblest and most beloved of American statesmen. What Lincoln said with such consummate yet simple eloquence, each succeeding generation has need to resolve "That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth." The oration follows: F thus far so nobly advanced.lt is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great test remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God shall have a new birth of rrecdom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. 1 PRISONER GONE Marshal! Taken to Eugene This Morning. SHERIFF PARKER, OF LANE CO., ESCORT Kllgeno Officer Says .Marshall Will Protinldy l!e Turned Over to the Washington Officers for Prosecution A I la, I .Man. ritiKOM:ii ;oi:s. Sheriff Parker, of ICugene ur- rived here last night and left this morning with Fred A. Mar- shall, wanted there on a charge of assault with a liangerous weapon. Sheriff Parker says Marshall is wanted badly at North Yakima, Wash., where four warrants are held Egainst him! It is Sheriff Parker's opinion that Marshall was shn- ply bluffing when he said he killed a man at Sand Point, Idn- ho. At least. tlte officers at Sand Point have no knowledge of such a crime being commit- ted there. Sheriff Parker says Marshall will probably he turned over to the Washington officials for prosecution. The Eugene Register, In today's issue, has the following comment on Marshall's arrest: 'r-'iank Marshall, alias ,1. 11. Tay lor, wanted in Kugene for assault with a dangerous weapon, and in North Yakima, Washington, on a fel ony charge, was captured In Hose burg iMonday flight, according to word received in Eugene yesterday morning. Sheriff Parker left last night and will return today with the man, for whom the police of Eu gene sought two weeks, and who finally escaped Saturday night after playing a ruse of being an invalid and traveling about the city In a closed carriage. "The man is a former United States marshal at Sand Point, Idaho. He is not a murderer, although he is said to have killed u man in pur suance of his duty at that point. The Sand Point officials replied to a query by wire yesterday stating that he was not wanted. "Saturday evening In Eugene he was aware that the police were on his itra',1. and attempted to force Mrs. A. Reeves, his landlady at 41KJ Eight avenue east, to leave with him at the point of the gun. The affair occurred while the police were hav ing trouble with the high school stu dents, and the man escaped. '"While in t he city Marshall ,en gaued rooms at, Mrs. Reeves, saying that he was an invalid, and that it was necessary for him to traval about in taxicahs and carriages while here. It was this fact that baffled the po lice for t hey even were unable to see him about town. I le rode to Springfield and to the inov.ing pic ture shows in cabs and never did he appear walking on the streets while in Eugene. ".Marshall realized that the police yOUR score and seven years ao our fathers brought new nation, conceived in are created equal. Now that nation Or any other We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have conn; to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that na tion might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. Hut in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to acid or detract. The world will little note, nor, long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for .us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have were making Eugene a dangerous place for hint, so he left In company wiih his son-in-law and daughter. Ar thur and liessie Holmes, for Rose hurg Saturday. "Sheriif Parker then took the mat ter in hand, on advice from North Yakima, and started a series of mes sages up and down the valley giving description a of the man. who went under the name of J. li. Taylor while in Eugene. These descriptions tallied with those of the man that the North Yakima authorities were after on ft charge of felony. "Sheriff Qitine, of Rosehurg, found a man registered at one of the hotels in Rosehurg under the name of Tay lor uud tn'rested 'him. Yesterday morning . Sheriff Quine telephoned Slu-riff Parker that the mar. he had arrested had since confessed to the murder of a man at Sand Point, Ida ho. This added another list to the mans crimes that the local author ities knew nothing of, but Sheriff Parker notified the Hoseburg offi cials that they would come for the man as quickly as possible and bring aim back to Eugene." .
