Cooper and Son Convicted ' of Murder of Carmack EACH SENTENCED 20 YEARS Released on Ball Pending Appeal Foi New Trial, Based on Court's Marge to Jury Special to the -Evening Review. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 20. After behig out for four days, the jury in the Carmack murder case thlB morning returned a verdict of guilty to the second degree against Colonel Duncan Cooper and his eon, Rohta Cooper. Judge Hart imme diately eemtenced each of llihe defend ants to 20 years' imprisonment in the state penitentiary. Neither father or eon showed any "emotion at the verdict, but the colon el's two daughters were heartbroken. As illhe Coopers stood up to receive sentence the sobbings of the two wo men was the only sound that broke itiie stillnoaa in the court room. At torneys for the Coopers announced that an appeal from th verdict would be taken, and that lahe appeal would be based on the court's instructions to the jury that 'they must either convict or acquit. Arguments for a new trial will begin April 3. Both of the Coopers are now at llbor.tty an bail and are at the home af the Colonel's daughter, Mrs. Buirch. History of Case. Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, a for . mor officer in the Confederate army, under Forrest, and a man very prom inent in Democratic state politics, : orooo lived at Columbia, Tenn. In that town also resided Edward Ward Qainnack, a young lawyer, who also ' ' did eome newspaper work. Cooper lnought the Nashville American, and induced Carmack to come to Nash ville as Its editor. Colonel Cooper swore on the etand that they were '( closo friends until Governor Taylor ! opposed Carmack for re-eieciion io . the Senate. This fight waB long and X bitter. A feature of it was a series of joint debates .and Carmack lost. -. Cooper supported Taylor, but Robin : the boy who killed the Senator, sup ,'. parted the latter. Mailoolm R. Patterson was govern- i or of tho state at the time of the Carmack-Tnylar fight, and he an- '. nouuoed his candidacy for re-elec-McirK Carmack, Just beaten for Sena tor, was urged into the race for gov- - minor atra mat Patterson, mis wa-, last Juu2, and the fight between itihe men for the Democratic nomination was the most spectacular ever seen in - Tennessee. Again, joint debates were i arranged, and again the feeling be- - tween the factions grew very Diner. In these debates Cooper charged that Carmack asalled the calomel's good name. Cooier was an ardent Patter son man the governor publicly de- - earlbed him as "my clcsest persona! and nalltlcal adviser. Again Car mack lost, and, a month before the election became editor of the Nash ville Tonmeseeean. He had made the race on the Prohibition platform, and while he did not) get the nomination ho did secure enough representatives to assure the passage of the so-called Btate-wlde liquor bill. Editorial Attacks Made. In the meantime Governor Patter eon and former Governor Cox, once deadly enemies, were reconciled. The TeunttMetnn charged tfiiat Colonel Cooper brought this reconcilatlon about, and referred to It in a humor ous and sarcastic vein in its editorial columns. Carmack also Intimated that, to save Governor Patterson, the Democratic leaders were preparing to trade Bryan for the Governor ship. Colonel Cooper was chafing under the comment, and becoming more Incensed every day. On Sun day, November 8, the day before the killing, there appeared an editorial in the Tonnesseeon alluding to the re conciliation in a sarcastic way, ac cusing Cooper of being the leader in the attacks on Cox. and crediting him with the use of the foulest language. Send Famous Message. -Colonel Cooper, upon reading this editorial, eent the famous message to Carmack: "If my name appears In the Tennesseean again, one of us Something New in Roseburg McDonald's Famous Chocolates (Salt Lake) In packages from 25 cents to $1 .00 each. Try them. Open All Day Sunday PaqUCtte Dmg CO. 145 N. Jackson, Roseburg, Or. must die." The warning was deliver ed to Senator Carmack by former State Treasurer Craig. Carmack said that Colonel Cooper's threat had made a cessation' of the editorials Im possible that if the Tenneseeean never again used Cooper's name, the public would believe that the paper had been b-hiffed and H would lose e. So on Monday, November 9, the day of the killing, there appeared in the Tenneseeean, this editorial : "To Major Duncan: Drown Cooper, who wrought a great coalition, who achieved the harmonious confluence of incompatible elements; who weld ed the pewter handle to the wooden spoon ; who grafted the dead bough to the Itvinig tree and made it to bloom and bourgeon and bend with golden fruit; who made playmates of thjo lamb and the leopard and boon companions of the spider and the fly; who made soda and vinegar to dwell placidly in the same bottle, and who taught oil and water how they might agree to Major Duncan Brown Cooper,- the great diplomat of the political wlebund bo all honor and glory forever;" What happened next Is history. The state's witnesses Bay that Car mack was shot down from behind, while he was in the act of raising his hat to a lady, Mrs. Eastman. The Coopers swear that they walked across the street to reason with Car mack and that he opened Are at once, wounding Robin who, thereupon fired the shots which killed the editor. THE GOAT VENISON WAS GOOD. (E. A. Rhoten, in Pacific Homestead) 'Come to dinner; we'll have goat meat," was the invitation given me recently at the home of Mrs. W. J. Parley, near Dallas, Oregon. Now, in all my rambling around I had never teetied goat meat and knew that it was goat meat, so to dinner I went. Many Ib .the goat that finds Its way to the hotel and restaurant table, but It is "mutton" on he bill of fare. Most of those who ever ate Angora goat meat prefer it to mutton, yet there is a prejudice against goat meat so tbe butcher dares nob offer it for a&le as goat meat it he would sell much of It. Well, my first meal of goat meat wnvinoed me that at least that par ticular goat made excellent meat. 1 ate until I was ashamed of myself and then asked Mrs. Farley for "hamd-ouK" to take with me; but in this he refused. The goat Industry la one of the best things that ever struck the west ern country but until the prejudice against goats as meat is overcome hey will not "occupy the rank that they deserve. I know of one butcher that had a large muUon (?) trade built up and whenever he sold his hides he had about as many goat Hides as sheep hides. Had he offered the meat for what it was he would have sold but little. On an average a goat will not shear to the value of as many dollars as a sheep, but It takes less feed to keep a goat than a sheep, besides the goat will make use or reed that the sheep will not In the timber section of the West the goat is Indispensable In keeping down brush. Goats will kill the brush and pay you weTl for the privilege of doing so. There is a great deal of difference in the amount Hhey will shear; many poor flocks, poorly kept, shear from two to three pounds to each animal while Mr. Gilliam, (near Dallas), re cently sheared his flock of does (that ne purchased from Mr. Guthrie) with an average of nearly Blx pounds each Mm. Farley and her brother, W. D. CUne, breed registered goats and while they had not sheared theirs yet, the long wavy fleeces bespoke good clip. The past year the demand has not been what It was for goats, conse quently a cheaper price. High-class Breeding stock can be had for a rea eonable price and now is a good tlm to raise the standard of the flock Many refrain from keeping goats as they have a reputation as fence junipers, which is a mistake. They naroiy "jump" any funce, but are good ol tabors. Any fence that stainls straight and doesn't have "r&ps" on will turn them. I have Lfteon them enclosed with a 30-inch woven wire fence while uie rau fence was never built high enough to turn them if it was allowed to lean over so they could get toe holds and walk up. o ' Tetter, Salt Rheum and Ecxema.

' CORVALLlS;Or., March 19. Geo. Davie and Frank Clayton, accused of looting U. G. Berry's store at Pe&rlu, and the lieu ton County Treasurer vault, pleaded guilty before Judge Hamilton this morning and were sentenced to live years each In state's prison. Guided by Clayton, officials went to' a church five miles eaat of Cor- vnllis last night and from beneath the floor recovered all of the swag taken from the Peoria store, with the ex ception of the watches, which Chief Wells had already recovered from tho Portland express office. Notes and papers belonging to Mr. Berry, of Peoria, are beneath a schoolhouse not far from the church, but this was not recovered at the time. With the exception of a small amount of cash and two or three watches, the Peoria man will recover practically all of the $1000 worth of stock taken from his Btore. County Treasurer Buchanan, who lost about $300 cash and a' gold watch In robbery here, will recover his watch and $60 In cash, and Clay ton promises to send him any money made In overtime work at tho pen. TheiPeoiia robbery was commit ted December 17,. and the Corvallls haul was made March 4. Tho Treas u re r 's vault here was blown open with dynamite under the mistaken Idea that tho county tax funds would be found there. Three men came to do the work, Davis and one still at largo committing the crime. They left Corvallls in a stolen launch, land ed near Albany, and from there went to Portland, where, they have been since, with the exception of a day or two, when Davis was at Seattle. Clay ton and Davis and tho man not yet caught have been In Portland Blnce last October. They laugh nt Port land's detectives and say they would bo free now but for Chief Wells, of this city, who has followed them closely and unerringly since th crime was committed here.

The tract Is for Use tiB a rifle range by the Oregon National Guard and the troops of the Regular Army stationed at Vancouv er llarracks. The 1600-yard tango, which the tract will permit, will be the first ever put into use on the coast, and one of the first ranges of that dis tance In the country. It Is something of an Innovation, as only the new service rifle Is effective at that dis tance. Heretofore 1000 yards has been regarded as the maximum dis tune for accurate firing. It Is learned that the entire Na tional Guard force of the state, ex cepting coast artillery and field ar tillery, will be assembled at the range (luring- the Summer for target prac tice and camp of Instruction combin ed.
