KOKtilll'KG, OUKGOX, KATUtDAY KVKMi, Jll.V 15, ItMIH. XO. Review COUNTY COl'HT IX SKSSIOX. An adjourned session of the coun ty court of Douglas county is being hold in Roseburg, with Judge Wotiu cott arid Commissioners A. E. Nich ols and M. K. iiyan in attendance. The orders made so far are in the following matters: Petition of H. A. Woodruff and others for a road of public ease ment at Melrose denied for the rea son that the proposed road does not begin on the premises or the applicant. Warrant for $211 ordered drawn in favor of Chauncey Fry, to cover unexpired term of his liquor license.' Another matter with which the! court has to deal Is a petition for a change in location of a three-mile stretch of road at Glide. The peti tioners ask that the present road, which extends over the base of the hill on.. Leslie Lilly's premises, be changed so as to run along the bnuk of the North Umpqua river, and also touching the premises of the Mt. Alto ranch, owned by W. G. Hughes. Both Hughes and Lilly, as welt as three other affected property owners, have remonstrated against the pro posed change, Hughes claiming that it would damage his ferry landing, while the others allege that it would put them at a great inconvenience in travel. The Board of Road Viewers assessed the damages to Hughes in the sum of $240 and to Lilly in the sum of $400. Neither would accept, however, each asking $1000. They have given notice of petitioning the circuit .court for writ of review, ami until this Is settled the county court can take no action in the matter. This atfernoon the court is listen ing to opposing arguments on a pe tition filed by Kdwiu Weaver and others for the establishment of a new school district adjoining the southern boundary of the town of Myrtle Creek. The petition is the outcome of the recent action of Un people of Myrtle Creek in moving their school house one-half mile away from its t!d location, making it inconvenient for the rhildi en of the petitioners to attend school. In Mr. Weaver's case, for instance, his children former iy had to travel two miles to get to the school, wheie as now they would have 2 miles to go. The petition is being opposed on the grounds that it will cut the at tendance at the Myrtle Crock school from 165 pupils to 1 :t0 und 'greatly weaken it as a graded institution. Technicalities also figure in the re monstrance, and, of course, the lost in taxable property to the town dis trict is a strong issue. Atty. O. P. Coshow represents the petitioner? and B. J. Hnwland, the Myrtle Creek lawyer and banker, is arguing for the remonstrators. STFALS WHOLti FAMILY. JACKSONVILLE. Or., July 24. C. W. Parker, residing near Jackson ville, bears the record so far in the Rogue River valley, the land of big undertakings. Parker yesterday ran away with the wife of O. A. Olson, taking with her her four children and Olson's mother-in-law. Their destination was Seattle and they shipped their goods under the nnmc of Trnmble. Olson and Parker are both carpenters. Olson's efforts to get sympathy call out congratulation only. r Arrival Extraordinary Of The World-Famous Clairvoy ant, Palmist and Trance Medium Madame P 3 This remarkable woman has arrived in Roseburg and lias engaged a suite of rooms at the Oregon Lodging House, where she can be consulted on all affairs of life.

Ancc Tries Patience of Attor neys and Also the Court. Local Business Men Will od Trial Next Week FIVE ARRESTS MADE TODAY L. W. Ingles Prosecuting Witness Man of Cod Announces Discovery of Blind Pigs Oregon's Sunday closing lnw, so far as the City of Roseburg is con cerned, will be given a test in Jub tice Long's court next week, when the proprietors of four local business houses will be arraigned on charges of violating the law. The defend ants and the business they conduct are: R. B. Mathews, soft drinks and tobacco; Denning & Kent, cigar store;- K. Rhoads, tobacco, confec tions and lunch goods; E. Jennings, bakery , 1 u nch good s and con f ec tlons. All five men were arrested this morning on complaints filed by District Attorney George, M. Mrown. Knch was released upon bis own rec ognizance until next Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock, at which time plens will be entered. In each of the four complaints the offense of keeping open for business on Sunday is alleged to have occur red six days ago, mi July 19. The private prosecutor is L. W. Ingles, a local character, who is generally recognized as the "spotter" for the so-called reform element. Every one of the defendants will plead not guilty, thus putting the matter Into the hands of a jury for decision. It may be that the cases will not be t ried bef ore ,1 ust tcs. 1 on g, as h e is a member of the city council, which several weekH ago ordered the en forcement of the Sunday closing law. albeit without jurisdiction. That this was sufficient to disqualify Justice Long, however, In the event of a case arising was the statement made by District Attorney Brown hi an in terview the day after the council's action. The outcome of these cares v awaited with great interest. The state will lose, however, if it fares no hotter than It has in other cities where the issue has been made over Sundav baseball games. Though fre quently tried out In this state, there has never yet been a conviction for Sunday baseball playing, which. since the council's order, has been suspended pending this expected test of the law. Coincident with the filing of these cases. Rev. .1. K. Hawkins, pastor of tli e Met hud 1st Episcopal church, in this city, announces elsewhere tn The Riwiew that the subject of Ills sermon t oniorrow evening is "Blind I'Urs I lisrovt red a Word of Warn ing." So far as learned, no com plaint as to the existence of "blind pigs" in this city has been laid he fore 1 ist riot Attorney Brown and If any have been "discovered " that fact will doubtless prove a re vela tion to the authorities. yax or i;rs costly itrk VANCorVER. Wash., July 21.

Thomas Age a. Dan J. Mnlarkey, In his cross examination of Agee, gained the ad mission that Agee when confronted last Monday by Miss Myrtle Fitawa ter, former clerk in the Roseburg land office, told T. B. Neuhausen that he did not recognize her. The fol lowing afternoon at another meeting between Agee and Miss Kit z water, the witness said he recognized the woman as the clerk before whom he made final proof prior to deeding the land to the Booth-Kelly . Lumber Company. Mr. Malurkey sought fur ther to discredit the testimony of the witness by bringing out that Agee had made a number of entries, per tinent to the case, in a memorandum hook in addition to those he had tes tified about on direct examination. The examination of Agee was prac tically completed yesterday, although United States Attorney McCourt re served the privilege of recalling tht witnesses when court convenes thU morning. Mrs. Agee reached Port land last night from her home at Mapleton and will be a witness for the government in assisting to ac count for the authorship of certain letters and signatures that have been submitted in evidence in the cas Court will ndjouru over Sunday at noon today. Trios Patience of Court. Repeated prodding of Agee by Judge Wolverton failed materially to expedite the examination of tho wit ness, who answered the most simple questions only after considerable hesitation, severely trying the pa tience of both counsel and the court Judge Wolverton found it necessary repeatedly to rebuke the witness foi his dilatory replies to questions. "You must answer questions witl greater dispatch." said the court By your hesitation you nro Inking up a great deal of the time of the court. You can and must answer more rapidly." But even this ad monition did not improve mattert- much and the examination of Hit witness continued at a snail-like pac( nil day. Agee proved an unusual witness disclosing a memory or rather a lack of memory which perplexed those that heard him ns much as oxalurlt has excited the medical profession In Portland. He testified with reason able accuracy and posilivcncss re garding events that happened frou 12 to 2f. years ago, while ho.profos Mod no knowledge of Incidents oc uring between 1 S'.7 and lilt).., tin period during which he effected (hi exchange of his land within the for est reserve for the lieu land which h afterwards sold to the lumber com pany. Letter Niihiiilllod to Jury Counsel for defense produced su-v oral let l era alleged to have piirset between Agee and J. II. Shupe. now deceased, who served ns his attoi nej lu arranging for tho exchange of lli two tracts of land. Agee denied lha he had written or signed or had cans ed to be written any of tho letter produced by t ho defense and rein I ing to the transaction. Ho admitted that he never wrote any letters him self and that all of his correspond once was conducted hy his wife, bu he refused to Identify any of tin communications an being the hand writing of Mrs. Agee; He did not re member ever having authorized or directed anybody to write the letter that had been offered, although he did remember having talked will Shupe personally regarding the sub Ject matter of the letterB. At the opening of the afternoor session. Judge Wolverton denied the request of Mr. Malurkey to withdraw Aro from the witness stand In or to call Miss Minnie Shupe, th daughter of the deceased lawyer, prove the authenticity of the docu ments so that the witness could be further eross-exa mined concerning the correspondence. The court hold that the witness had been examined sullloletitly regarding the corres pondence and that the request of counsel, If rninted, could not expe dite the ea nination. Contendlm: that Mrs. Agee, judg ing from ie admissions of Agee himself, had written the Agee-Shupe letters. Mr. Malarkey secured the Introduction, over the objection of Mr. Becker, of all the letters that the jury might cumparo the hand writing with the signature of Mrs. Agee in the deed transferring the property and which was admitted by the government 'to be Mrs. Agoe's true signature. The signatures In the deed and the letters were quite similar. COMMERCIAL CONUKESS.

Strader. mountaineer In tho Cascade Forest serve, wan rushed to Portland an a witness In the Rooth-Slngletou land fraud conspiracy' case. Although ht was proven ted from notifying hlb amlly, ao gect v;as considered the urgency of ihe backwoodsman's ,r fs- nce lu Portland, Strader has been waiting here three weeka without be ing placed on the witness-stand. This Ik one of the methods purmi d by the government In handling witnesses in the land-fraud cases which Is raising complaint not only from the attorneys for tho defense. but also from the witnesses them selves. The system of tho govern ment ofllclals has boon freely discus- d of late, and witnesses do not hesl- ate to toll their troubles. The forthwith' subpoenaes of the gov- nmont appear to bo responsible for nueh of the complaint. Contless, W. T. Strader, (he moun attieer, has been loitering In the mils of tho Federal building outside he olllce of the United StatcR I Hu rt ct Attorney since the commence- neut of the Booth-Singleton trial.

"They telephoned to me of my neighbors thaf some one wanted to meet me and to hurry down the road to save time. I did n't know what was wanted, so 1 struck off nnd walked 2ti miles be fore I met the ollicer who handed me patter and Raid I must forthwith ?o to Portlnnd. I had on only an old diirt and overalls, and I said I'd go is soon as I could go home. He said I'd have to go at once to Portland.
