j. year's total by thirteen. !
Roseburg's 4th of July passed off
without adding to the large list of
deaths or seriously Injured which
the nation at large sustains on that
day. This gratifying showing was
made without the sacrifice of a good
time, either at the fair grounds,
where a patriotic and sporting pro
gram entertained an immense crowd.
or in the city proper where fireworks
were discharged from early morning
until late at night. Automobiles and
hacks did a splendid livery business
between the fair grounds and the
city, in fact they handled a much
larger crowd than was anticipated.
As a result of this unlooked-for
swarm of pleasure seekers there was
some discomfort and grumbling.
No one had considered It worth while
to establish n restaurant on the
grounds, and those who did not bring
their lunch had to either come back
to the city for something to eat or
struggle like demons for a piece of a
lone barbecued steer, that lasted
about la minutes. A solitary re
freshment stand exhausted its supply
of ice cream and sandwiches long he
fore 1 o'clock in the afternoon. A
large number who preferred to go
hungry for the time being contented
themselves with divers and sundry
remarks, but the exciting races pul
led off during the afternoon served
to restore them to good humor. In
the evening the scene of festivities
shifted back to the city. Hundreds
attended a dance at the Elks' Tem
ple, while a larger number, some on
the streets and others at ttieir nomes,
amused themselves by discharging
fireworks.
The day's celebration opened with
a parade, headed by the Roseburg
Hand. This was followed by a pat
riotic program at the fair grounds.
consisting of an invocation and rend
ing of the immortal Declaration of
Independence by Rev. c. A, nexroau
appropriate airs by the band and a
splendid oration by uon u. r. aiui
kev. of Ashland. Judge J. W. Ham
ilton acted as president of thp day
Mr. Mulkey's address was both his
torical and timely and eloquent
throughout. Beginning with ancient
wars, he reviewed the history of bat
tles fought against tyranny and op
pression down to the birth of our
own government. In closing, the
speaker occupied several minutes on
universal peace and civic morality,
and when he sat down he was given
a round of hearty applause.

NELSON NEW CHAMPION.
(iaiiN Out in 17th Hound McKarland
urnl Welsh Fight a Draw.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 5. Bat
tling Nelson Saturday won the title
of lightweight pugilist of the world
from the man who defeated him at
Goldtieid, Nev., almost two years
ago. He knocked out Joe Gans in
the seventeenth round, after a fight
us desperate as any that had been
seen here in years. Fighting from
the beginning to the end of every
round, moving ceaselessly forward
md never giving ground, Nelson
with his bulldog tenacity and won
derful stamina, slowly battered the
veteran colored champion into sub
mission. The end was not sudden.
md few who watched the progress
of the battle and saw Gans grow
weaker and weaker from round to
round hut had made up their minds
is to the result long before the count
was given that made the Illinois tad
hampiou for the second time.
Three times Gans was sent to the
door in the final round, each time
taking nil the time allowed. A blow
from Nelson's left glove to the pit
of the stomach ended the fight, and,
is Cans toppled over and rested on
bis knees, his face wore a most pain
ful expression. He tried In vain tc
regain his feet, but failed and was
ounted out.
Then 10.000 men and some score
of women who had gathered in the
open air arena on the San Mateo
bills, cheered the man who had he
come champion nftor defeat, and
rushed In frenzied enthus lasm for
the ring. The special police were
bowled over and Nelson was swept
off his feet and hoisted on the
shoulders of his seconds to he carried
about the arena and to his dressing
room, while the bent en, bleediiip
(Jans was calmly escorted by his
seconds from the scene of his de
feat.
"The best man won beyond
doubt,' was Gans frank admission
as he left tlie ring. "It's the old story
(if one fight too many. After the
third round I began to feel myself
tiring. Old age will tell. That is al)
I have to say."
McFnrland Ends Freher.
I.OS ANGELES, July T. In a 2-ri-ronnd

Club yesterday afternoon.
If a decision had been rendered.
Mr Far land would have foeen given
thp victory because of superior show
ihg made in the last seven rounds of
the battle, when his relent less pur
suit of Welsh and his savage rushes
which sent the Englishman aval list
the ropps time after time, led thf
crowd to hejiove that the bout ftould
end In a knockout.

BOOTH ACQDITTED
Evidence of Bridges and Kribs
Discredited by Jury
SO TESTIMONY BY DEFENSE
Result Gratifying Here Case of L
Booth et al, is Set lor
Trial July 161b
Portland Oregonian, July 5: By a
verdict reported in the United States
court yesterday, Janice Henry Booth,
ex-Heceiver of the Roseburg laud
otfice, was acquitted of the charge of
accepting unlawful compensation
hile serving as an official of the
government. Booth was ludlcted for
furnishing Information to Frederick
Kribs, a timber land speculator
of Portland, regarding the final can
cellation of lieu land selections, and
for which It was alleged he received
$800 on October 3, 1903. The Jury
reached a verdict at 12:05 o'clock
esterday morning, 35 minutes after
the Instructions of Judge Wolverton
had been repeated.
James Henry Booth thanked each
juror personally and his brother, ex
State Senator Robert A. Booth, wac
equally delighted and gratified with
the result.
The acquittal of Booth came three
years and six months after he was
indicted, and exactly three years af
ter the conviction of Senator Mlt
hell.
This is the first of about 30 of the
so-called "Heney indictments", in
which the government has failed to
secure a conviction, and undoubtedly
will have an Influence on the trials
that are to follow. Of these, there
:ire probably 18. The government
it tributes its defeat In the James
Henry Booth case to the failure uf
J. T. Bridges, ex-Register of the
Roseburg land office, and co-otnclal
with Booth, when the alleged frnuds
were perpetrated, and to Frederick
Kribs, the man who delivered the
$800 check to Booth. It was on
these witnesses that the prosecution
lepended for a conviction. Both
were guilty of even more flagrant
lolatlons of- the land laws of the
state, declared the defense, than was
Booth, yet both escaped prosecution
This was an important factor In
influencing the Jury's verdict and the
impression crept out during the trial
of the case that If Heney promised
Bridges and Kribs Immunity for the
testimony they were to give agalnBt
Booth, the government profeecutor
for once in his life was short-chang
ed. Both of these witnesses contra
licted themselves aud each other ln
(ho testimony they gave for the pro
secution and without positive declar
ations from each, particularly from
Kribs, the government could not
hope for a conviction.
Realizing that the government
had made no case against Mr. Booth
the defense offered no testimony
whatever and the case went to the
Jury on the government's showing
alone. )
Yesterday Mr. Booth received
score of telegrams of congratulation
from friends throughout the state
Mr. Booth and his wife, who was a
faithful attendant during the trial
left last night for their home and
their home-going was a Joyous one.
They were accompanied as far as
Eugene by ex-State Senator and Mrs.
R. A. Booth who had been in the city
during the trial. In the party also
were A. C. Woodcock, of Eugene
and Dexter Rice, of Roseburg, who
assisted In the defense of Mr. Booth
An Echoing S-tlmeiit,
Commenting upon the acquittal of
I. H. Booth, the Portland Oregonian
says editorially
The acquittal of James H. Booth
is not surprising. It was, indeed,
expected. The testimony failed to
sustain the gravamen of the Indict
ment. Moreover, the verdict of tli
jury Is one more proof that public
sentiment does not sustain the meth
od of the prosecution, which put
men under Indictment, , and than
holds the charge over them for yeaiai
before bringing them to trial giv
ing out meantime every kind of In
sinuation agaluat them and against
othera too, who art) constantly
threatened and maligned, but never
eea Indicted, This sort j thing
not only hat become wHisome, but
kindles Indignation and resentment.
It does not please tie peo(i I'f Ore
eon that these trials have been de
layed for years. fcr pursuancp of
spectacular .fleets, elsetrtifre.
trich, however, also have failed.
HI tiger Hermann has been under In
dictment here for years, yet mver
has been brought to trial and fcrver
will be. All sorts of charges have
been thrown out against Charles W,
oui Bgnumi wiantu v
Fulton, yet there has been nothing
but gas and wind on which to base
them. No wonder the public patience
Is exhausted."
Other Cases Sclx-dtilcd.
The trial of what Is known as the
Booth "conspiracy case' will be the
next of the Heney laud-fraud cases
to be tried before Judge Wolverton.
It has been set for Thursday, July
16. In Uiis indictment, which was
returned April 8, 1905, ex-State Sen
ator R. A. Booth and his brother,
James Henry Booth, and T. E. Sin
gleton are charged with a conspiracy
to defraud the government of public
lauds through the alleged use of
false affidavits and proofs of home
stead entry and settlement procured
by an entrymnn, nnmed I. Thomas
Agee, of Mapleton, Or.
The early trial of ex-State Senator
Booth and his co-defendants was ar
ranged yesterday, after a conference
between Judge Becker nnd T. B.
Neuhausen, representing the govern
ment, and Judge Webster and Dan J.
Malarkey, of counsel for the men un
der indictment. Judge Webster an
nounced that his clients were desir
ous of having an early trlnl. After
the Booth bribery case was closed
yesterday. Judge Becker left for San
Francisco, where he probably will
consult with Francis J. Heney re
garding the future conduct of the
land-fraud cases. Judge Becker ex
pects to return In time to take up the
next case promptly on July 16.
OUT OF DEBT FOR FIRST TIME.
Xortli Methodist Church of Roseburg
(rows in Moiv Than One ay.
Preliminary to the morning serv
ice at the North Methodist church
last Sunday, the treasurer Mr. A R.
Marker, gave a financial statement
showing that the church has expend
ed over sixtecu hundred dollars since
tho beginning of the conference year
last Ootober. "The church,' said the
treasurer, "now finds itself for the
first time in over four years clear of
debt. Improvements have been
made in tho church property nt an
expense of $500; two series of meet
ings have been held nt an expense
of $200; an ancient debt of $350 has
been lifted, the running expenses of
the church aggregating $618.55 art-
provided for, while $129 has been
subscribed tu apply on tho purchase
of a new carpet for the church. This
splendid financial showing, togelhei
with the recent accession of Ihlrty-
nlno new members, and the general
spiritual, social aud numerical pros
perity of the church, indicates that
tho present year will culminate In
one of the most successful years in
the history of the church."
