the belief from the fact that Madero
and former Vice-President Sunrez
were not permitted to start for Vera
Cruz this morning to catch an out

against Medaro is growing hourly.
Acting President Huerta never men

life until after Madero's death list
was found. No word concerning the
fate of Itadero is obtainable. Many
believe lie has been Becretly executed.

door of the ex-president.
The second attempt was made at
the banquet which culminated In Gus

he was repeatedly urged to drink
poisoned wine from a bottle. He
was suspicious and refused to do so.
An analysis of the wine showed It
contained cyanide of poetasalum.
Madero's Death List.
Infuriated by the discovery of a
death list signed by his name, con
taining the names of 22 prominent
Mexican citizens, public opinion here
this afternoon Is almost certain to
force the summary execution of for
mer President Madero.
The list was headed: "Those who
should die," and Included the names
of Francisco De la llarra, Jesus
Flores Magon, Manuel Calero, Albert
Garcia and Dr. Vascuez Gomez.
The people are certain the list con
tains the names -of men Madero
planned to have killed, and may de
mand his life. General Huerta, bow
ever; Is opposed to any plan which :
calls for Madero's execution. -
Gustavo Madero Executed,
Gustavo Madero, brother of the de-
pofed president and regarded by ,
many aa the instigator of most of the
objectionable features of
Francisco
Madero's administration, was taken
from prison yesterday, compelled to
"run the gauntlet," under the no
torious "fugitive law," and shot to
death as he ran. He was riddled by
the bullets of the guard.
Gustavo Madero was declared to
be the most bated man in Mexico and
was accused of having Induced his
brother to repudiate pledges to dis
tribute large tracts of land In Mexi
co. It Is charged that he depleted
the national treasury, while the
wealth of the Madero family greatly

Gets Ok Mnti m Jarl
After an hour and a half's delib
eration In the Circuit Court this af-i
ternoon, a Jury filed a verdict of i
guilty In the case of Owen Osburn, a '
local druggist, indicted on the charge
of violating 'the local option law.
Judge Hamilton announced that be
would pronounce sentence at 2 o-'
clock tomorrow afternoon. j
Osburn Is alleged to have sold a 1
bottle of whhskey to "Bill" Abbey, j
a negro tamale vendor, who skipped ,
town the day following the defend-!
aut's arrest. Abbey it was declared
by the state, paid for the liquor with
two marked silver dollars given to
him by a spotter In Sheriff Qtiine's
employ. This money was found in
Osburn 's possession. His defense at
his trial this morning was that Abbey
gave the money to him In payment of
a bill for alcohol used In the stove of
his tamale wagon.
Fishermen Itolcaftcil.
Judge Hamilton's interpretation of
a statute this afternoon resulted in
the release of Uert Taylor and Hugh
Pearson, indicted for fishing with
gaff hooks nt the Winchester dam in
nlleged violation of law. Attorney
W. V. Cardwell, counsel for the de
fendants, demurred to the indictment
I
on the ground that the statute under
.which It was brought does not specify
I that foul hook fishing is Illegal dur
that foul hook fishing is Illegal dur-
ing the CLOSED, season; it merely
provides that such elnss of fishing is
illegal during the OPEN season. This
demurrer was sustained by Judge.
Hamilton, and tho complaint against
the indictees was dismissed.
The same question raised by Card-
well in this case also applies to the
case against Taylor's brother, Kulph,
and Fay Otey, who were fined $'i0
each in the Justice Court for fishing
within the 600-foot limit of the Win
chester dam. They appealed to the
Circuit Court. At District Attorney
Brown's request, this case was left
on the docket to permit him to carry
tho disputed point to the State Su
premo Court.

All of the bitterness and: personal

rally of tbe steam roller aggregation
in the House waswwllnessed last
night when tho big machine, with
full steam up, and the monkey
wrench rarefully hung on the safety
valve, flattened out Representative
Gill's bill, repealing the Thompson
swamp land drainage law, passed dur
ing the early part of the session over
the Governor's veto.
"Wo ought to pursue the same
policy in regard to the swamp lands
in Eastern Oregon that we have
adopted toward Irrigated lands," de
clared Howard of Douglas. "It Is
provided lhat the Irrigate lands shall
go to the actual settlers. But are

Nolta Interrupted with s qusst'on.
He asked If Howard did not know
that the state land board had tbs
power to fix the price of the land.
"If the state government In the
past had acted with aa much brains
as the Bouthern Pacific Railroad
Company, we would have 120,000.-

Under the provisions of House bill

the freedom of speech to the extent
that tbey can advocate destruction of

safe for the Governor himself to sug

shall be unlawful for any person to
threaten or advocate the commission
of a felony.
Originally the bll provided that It
should be unlawful fur a person to
threaten life and then purchase a
dangerous weapon to carry out the
threat. The Senate, however, amend
