ROSEUURQ, OREGON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 10(18. NO. 181. Review ITO H1LLS HANDS Libby Coal Mines, Waterfront, Steamer and 5,000 Acres MEANS RAILROAD TO COOS Will Probably Harry Harrimaa, Also Other Pontes Evidence Hill's Intention MARSHFIELD, Or., Sept. 28. Western brokers "have bought the Oregon Coal & Navigation company's holdings for Jas. J. Hill. The deal Includes the Llbby coal mines, the waterfront and wharf of the steam ship M. P. Plant, which runs between Coos Bay and San Pranclsco and 6, 000 acres of land. It Is the biggest transaction of the year and has creat ed a stir in local railroad circles. Important as is the deal in Itself, it In trivial in comparison with the Importance of J. J. Hill becoming directly interested In Coos Bay. Not only will it mean a Hill railroad be ing built In here but it will probably mean the hastening of the Harrlman construction. It is known that the Oregon Coal & Navigation company's property was offered directly to Louis Hill, the son of J. J. Hill and who recent ly siirr-peded his father as active head of many departments of the Hill properties, last spring when his father was In Europe. Soon after this offer was made, an option was taken on the property by eastern parties but this expired a short time ago, the eastern syndicate apparent ly being unable to finance the deal. Announcement of "Jim Hill's" huge acquisition at Coos Bay is fraught with significance for Oregon. It is interpreted to spell competi Those swell new Sweater Coats that we've been expecting for the past ten days are here at last We think they're by far the handsomest we've ever seen.

IE FOREMOST DRY GOODS ESTABLISHMENT OF tion and development competition, because of Harrlnian'B projected line from Drain to Coos Bay and on down the coast; development, because it is believed that the obvious route of the new railroad will be parallel to the coast from Astoria to Oakland a continuance of the North Bank road. . ' Por years It has been held that Coos -Bay, situated as It Is midway between Portland and San Francisco, Is the natural objective point for a coast road. It has unlimited coal re sources and an excellent harbor. Its timber supply is practically unlim ited and its agricultural and dairy products assure liberal freight-traffic revenue. What is believed to be further confirmation of the Northern Pa cific railroad company's intention to prosecute work on a coast line was the purchase some days ago of sev eral thousand acres of land adjacent to Oakland, Cal. The transaction in volved over $700,000. Strict secrecy the Hill characteristic was ob served regarding the identity ot the purchasers. Other mysterious pur chases of right-of-way along the Pa cific coast assume added significance since the announcement of Hill's Coos Bay acquisition. !r. Finn's Testimony Interesting.

Buxton in Olalla Country OCCURRED LAST FRIDAY Starts to Bleed Supposedly Dead Bock and Receives Ibrnst That Severs Artery While hunting last Friday morn ing In the head of Blue Canyon, in the Olalla country, 25 miles south west of this city, George Buxton, aged 24 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Buxton, of Brockway, was gored and killed by a large buck deer, which he had wounded. Buxton took the life ot the deer with a final shot from his rifle, of 30-30 calibre. His body was recovered by a party of searchers Sunday evening and carried to his home at Brockway. A few minutes before the tragedy, Buxton chatted with George Smith, a brother of Clay Smith, of Winston, who Ib a Portland street car con ductor. Smith was hunting In the Olalla country with a friend from Portland, and the two came upon Buxton in the woods by chance. Af ter a Bhort conversation, Buxton left the two men and made his way to the bottom of . the canyon. Shortly afterwards, Smith and his companion heard Buxton shoot six times, and then call his dog. Supposing that Buxton had killed a deer, the two men felt no concern and kept wend ing their way through the woods, not dreaming of the tragedy being en acted In the canyon below. Upon Buxton's failure to return home Friday evening a search was for him, but no trace could be found. On Saturdny the search was SINCE 1877 SOUTHERN OREGON renewed, but again without result. Id the afternoon of that day, about 5 o'clock, Buxton's dog came home and then his family felt certain that he had met with some mlahap. In the meantime, Mr. Smith had come to Roseburg, and when it was learn ed that he had Been young Duxton In the woods he waa sent for imme diately. Going to Brockway, Mr. Smith put himself at the head of a party of seven men and started for Blue Canyon. Late in the evening the party came upon Buxton lying dead about one-fourth ot. a mile from where Smith and his companion had left him Friday morning. Mod to !cath. Examination of Buxton's body re vealed the fact that he had bled to death from a severed artery In his upper left leg. The wound had been made by the horn of a buck deer which lay dead near the bottom of the canyon, about 60 yards below him. The deer weighed about 100 pounds. Ilia set of antlerB were comprised of four prongs on a side, and one of theee prongs was stained with blood for several inches, show ing that this was the one which the infuriated animal had thrust into Buxtons leg and severed the artery. In the deer's body were three bul let wounds. One in the thigh, anoth er In the neck and a third behind the shoulders, in close proximity to the heart. Half way between the spot where the deer lay and the place where Buxton's body was found was a blood Btalned and disturbed patch of ground, evidencing the fact that a struggle had taken place there, af ter Buxton had stunned the deer by the shot through the neck. Had his first shot been the one that passed through the deer's body behind the shoulders, the tragedy would never have occurred because It undoubted ly killed the animal almost instantly. An unopened clasp knife at the scene of the battle Indicates that Buxton, supposing the deer to be dead after the first and second shots, intended to follow the cus tom of hunters by cutting the ani mal's throat so that it would bleed preparatory to being dressed. Be fore he could open the knife, how ever, the buck sprang to its feet and attacked him. This fact Is borne out by a gash on Buxton's left arm and another on his left ankle, both made either by the animal's horns or its razor-like hoofs. Then there was the fatal thrust through the artery In the .left leg, but as the deer sped down the canyon, Iluxton ended its life with a parting shot from hie rifle. That this shot killed the deer Instantly is shown by Its position when found. It was lying behind a log, almost flat on Its back. After slaying the deer, Buxton started to crawl up the side of the canyon, but when within a Bhort dis tance of the top expired from Iosb of blood. When found, he was lying face downward, his rifle by his side, He had bandaged the wound on his ankle, but had neglected to stop the flow of blood from the severed ar tery by binding his leg. This was probably due to excitement and weakness. The onslaught of the wounded deer must have been wholly unexpected by him, as he told Mr. Smith during their conversation on the ridge of the canyon that he had never killed a deer In his life. Funeral Tomorrow. The funeral of young Buxton will be held at the family home at Brock way tomorrow morning at 10 o clock, with services conducted by Rev. W F. McOee, of St. Joseph's church, of this city. Interment will follow in Civil Bend cemetery. Besides his parents, George Bux ton is survived by a brother, Charles, and three Bisters, Mary, Sadie and Katie J lux ton. Hon. Jas. K.

Delivered by Senator Core Last Saturday Night COURT HOUSE OVERCROWDED Political Issues Clearly Outlined Placed Before tbe Voters Pleasing Speaker Convulsing with laughter by his wit, swaying their hearts by Mb elo quence, holding their minds attent ive by his reasoning, United States Senator Thomas P. Gore, of Okla homa, last Saturday night at the court house entertained and instruct ed a vast audience, crowding even the standing room, far out into the hallway. .For two hours and more he discussed, political Issues and remedies for political Ills. He dis cussed the attitude of the republican party, admitted Its grent mission and Its great work during its early exist ence and deplored Its departure from the principles upon which It was founded. He took up the tariff and the trusts, he spoke of the bank guarantee plan and the injunction planks of the platforms. He lauded Bryan and predicted his Biiccess in November and through all the time the audience sat responsive to hlr moods, laughing when he willed, ob servant or studious by turns, chnng Ing under the magic of his oratory. Senator Gore was preceded b Senator M. A. Miller, of Linn county In an Interesting ten minutes talk along the lines of political progress. including official economy and the direct election of U. S. senators. Senator Gore said. In part: "I certainly appreciate the deter mlnntlon of Senator Miller that lias brought me to the great Northwest. The more 1 meet of the people of the gient Pacific states the more If brought home to me the love I bear for this great republic. I love every blade of grass, every grain of sand In this great nation.

Right here want to go upon record - as o friend of Roseburg (applause). Ev erything she wants and more too. thinks she wants a public building and I hope flhe gets It. Senator Chamberlain will be with mo in Con gress and I will vote with him on every proposition to advance the In terests of the great state of Ore gon (Applause). Down In Okla homa we ay that we can beat ever state In every thing, but I am In clined to think that we must have overlooked your tall timber. You can beat us on bushes. Now, my friends, I wish to saj to you, that although I am not con versant with your local politics, -that I understand that certain grants ol land are being used and held against the best interests of the state. It that Is the fact I say to you that theBe grants should be recovered and I will co-operate with Senator Cnam- herlnln to effect that result. Now, my friends, the republican party and the democratic party both advocate certain ends. We only dlf fer as to the means to bring about those ends. We ought not to f iibh about discussing those ends. The party that advocates the best meant' of bringing about those ends Is the party that you ought to belong to, and that Is what 1 am here to show you. I know that the republican party has done great things for t lilts country. Many of the great stars of the political firmament were placed there by the republican party There were Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Blaine, and there were Senntor Burton of Kaunas and Senator Mit chell of Oregon. I know that tin republican party b truck the shackle from the hands of a million slave and made this country In fact, as In name, the land of the free. But thr Republican party of today Is not the Republican party or Abraham Lin coln. It has departed from the prln doles of that party, and has wander ed away in d (Raster In the Booking of strange Gods. Now, that Ib grave charge and ought not to hr made unless proven. The immortal heroes who organized the republican party, men like Senator Trumhu Carl Schuri. Chief Justice Chase Horace Greely, Chas. Sumner, men who breathed the very breath of lift Into the Republican party those very men who created the Rcpubll can party abandoned the Kopijiuira party when that party abandoned them. I do not know which con tributes the more to their glory th forming or the fornaklng of tha party. The very act proves their de votion to fheir duty. Republicans o: today can share their glory by follow Ing their eiample by forsaking tha nartr when It has forsaken you. I the Republican party of today atl follows those principles you cher Ish vou should continue with the K publican party. If It has not, you (Continued on page 4.) TO VNVKIL FOUNTAIN.
