The questioning of the pros pective Jurors was very thorough, and in somo instances as much as 4 5 minutes was consumed in examining a single talesman. Especially were tbe attorneys for the defense particu lar regarding the qualifications of those seated in the jury box. In ad dition to propounding questions at leuiiant to a less important action, Attorney Hermann interrogated tbe prospective jurors as to their rela tions with the witnesses who were to be introduced .by the state, their relations with the defendant, and their views regarding circumstantial evidence and capital punishment. At torney Hermann also questioned the talesmen at some length regarding, what tboy had read In the news papers about the homicide. In most instances the jurors said they had read of the shooting in The Review, but had formed no opinion as to the guilt or Innocence of the defendant.

District Attorney Brown was nlso quite thorough in his examination of the jurors. In each instance the Dis trict Attorney made it a point to as certain whether the prospective juror entertained any bias or preju dice against circumstantial evidence, and whether he favored the present laws making capital punishment the penalty In certain classes of cases. The other questions propounded by District Attorney Brown were gen eral In iiutiiro, and simply tended to establish the qualifications of the person interrogated. Edward Neely said he had talked with a number of witnesses in the case regarding the homicide. Dur ing these conversations he said the witnesses made statements which they purported to be facts in con nection with the shooting. Mr. Neely was challenged, and the court ex cused hi in for cause. R. C. Arnold was challenged by the District Attor ney when he said ho was prejudiced against the law providing for capital punishment. He was excused by .ludgo Hamilton. S. D. Evans a. J C.

Roseburg fields Without Error and Scores Eight Runs On Timely flits and Bad Work Behind Bat For the first time in her thirty five years or longer of baseball his tory, Roseburg saw her first no-hit, no-run game Sunday, when tbe local team, with Eddie Hush pitching,' blanked a mixed team of Glendale and Riddle boys on the North Side grounds. Only one extra batter faced Bush in nine innings. He was Hansen, the weakest player on tbe visiting team, batting at the foot or the list. With two men out in the third inning, one of Bush's fast ln sboots struck Hansen on the arm, walking him to first." Hansen stole second, but the next batter fanned. After that not a visitor reached first. Perfect" Kidding Game. Dividing the honors with Bush was the men behind him. Not nn er ror was made on the Roseburg side, and in this respect tbe game prob ably sets a local record also. Tbe brilliant work of Horner, a Suther lin boy, at third base ror the locals, stood out prominently. He accepted eight chances without an error, and two of them were very difficult. In the eighth inning, he threw all three batsmen out at first. As perfect as tbe fielding work be hind him was Bush's cntrol. It was the first game ho has pitched In which he did not give a base on balls. The four strike-outs to his credit were fewer than usual for him. es pecially when facing a mediocre team, but at the gait his team mates were going it wasn't necessary for him to try for a strike-out record. Every time a ball was bit in the air by a visitor, there was a Roseburg man underneath It, and the . only ground ball that went through the infield was grabbed by htaley in right field in time to catch tho run ner at first. Summed up, It was the most perfect exhibition of baseball ever given by a Roseburg team. Story of the Scoring. The ragged work of Catcher Har per, of the visiting aggregation, en abled Roseburg to pile up four runs in the first two Innings. Four more runs came to the locals In their final inning the eighth on a quartet of safe bits coupled with the muff of a fly. Roseburg got Its first run In the first Inning. After two men were out, Art llargreaves singled and went to third when Harper threw over the second baseman's head in an effort to check bis steal. Then liar- REV.

H STATE AGENT BEATEN BY EDWARD NOAH EATE SUNDAY NIGHT Traveling Agent Cain, of tho Boys' and Crirls' Aid Society, of Portland, was attacked and quite badly beaten by Kdwanl Noah, a local blacksmith, lute Sunday, when ho went to the Noah homo in quest of Mildred Cas toel, a charge of the juvenile court. The Casiedl girl was committed to tho Hoys' and Girls' Aid Society about two years ago, following the arrest oT Hert Dnley, charged With contributing to the delinquency of a minor. After being at Portland for several months she was released nnd turned over to William Singleton, who owns a ranch on Oak Creek. A few months ago, Mrs. Noah, tbe girl's mother, learning that her daughter was at the Singleton home, after sev eral attempts persuaded her to leave there and return to her home. The officers of the Aid Society were noti fied that tho girl was no longer at the Singleton home, and tho travel ing agent of the institution was sent bore to investigate. Yesterday it was decided to return Miss (Justed to Portland, and the agent went to the Noah home in quest of the girl. Mr. Cain had hardly informed Mr. and Mrs. Noah of the purpose of his visit when Noah became enraged and dorvo htm to the street. Hather than resist, Mr. Cain went direct to Sheriff Quino and reported the trouble. Several hours later Sheriff Quiue, Marshal Williams and Night Officer Ketch visited the Noah home and demanded that the girl be sur rendered to them. Noah again showed fight, and not until be was on his way to the county jail in cus tody of the officers did he concede to give up the girl. Miss Casteel in formed the officers that she wanted to return to Portland, but was afraid to talk in the presence of her par ents. Traveling Agent Cain and Miss Casteel' left lor Portland Sunday night. Sheriff Quine Bays Noah resembled a maniac, nnd it took the combined efforts of tho three officers to gain possession of the child. Whether Noah will be arretted for resisting an officer bad not been determined by Sheriff Qulno today. per lot a pitched ball go by and llar greaves scored. The next three runs were made exactly the same way In the second Inning. Horner doubled, Dyslngor walked and Hob llargreaves reached first on a fielder's choice. Kaeh in turn stole easily and each scored on passed balls. After tbe second In ning, Mattlee, the Glendale twirler, held the locals rimless until tho eighth, when three singles In a row, followed by Hamilton's muff of a fly In right field and Hob llargreaves' double put four men around the cir cuit. During the game, Mattice was touched up for ten safe ones. As In the fielding work, Horner led the team In baiting honors, registering a double ami two singles. The game introduced to the local fans a new umpire in the person of C. II. Hovilston, a Southern Pacific fireman, who was formerly a catcher In t bo Nor I h western League.

Marshal Williams has so fur not inudo the desired npology, thereby placing the mutter In the hands of tho council. Marshal Williams claims he noted honestly, and us he Interpreted tho i-.o-nilted dance ordinance. As a re sult he says he Is not subject to reprimand at tho hands of the coun cllmen. ltev.

There Is nothing in tho city ordinance, ltev. linker contends, which clothes the marshal or any oilier officer' with the authority to Interfere with affairs such as was being conducted In the Parish house on the night of the alleged trouble. It was merely n private party of young people practicing some of the new dancing slops to the music of n phonograph or vlctroln. The Fourth of .1 ill v will be cele brated at Ten Mile.

If found guilty of murdering his wife for the affections of his pretty slster-lu-law, or for the insurance money which he had transferred to his wife'B name, Kdwnrd llossen will be convicted up on circumstantial evidence. Such was the admissions derived from the District Attorney's questioning of 'H prospective Jurors in the Circuit Court today. Many Jurors were dismissed for cnuso when they stated that they would not be willing to convict on such evidence. Others were dismissed Tor cnuso on the ground that they did not believe In capital punish ment. The first witness who will, he ex amined on Monday will be W. F. Walker, tho Springfield uiiilorluker who burled Mrs. llossen, anil who exhumed her body twice. Following blni, tho Coroner, whoso Jury ro tiirned n verdict that Mrs. llossen hud died from poison, nnd that the testimony pointed toward the hus band as tho source, will bo examined. Hdwaid llossen Is a timber crulsor who lived on a small farm near Springfield with his young wife and nluo-inoutbs-old child. Tho wlfo died suddenly on March 20. Others living in the house wore nwakoned early In the morning by the sobs of tho woman. They found llossen at tending her, nnd heard her dying ac cusation that llossen poisoned her. The body was buried without nn Inquest, but the following day, based upon suspicious circumstances, the District Attorney ordered the body exhumed, llossen was then arrested. The motives suggested are that he was infatuated with Dollio Levins, sister of the dead wife, and that he ought tho Insurance which had been transferred to his name two days beforo her death. The result of the wholo dny's trial was the selection of only seven Jur oi'B. When the entire Jury panel was exhausted court was adjourned late this afternoon nnd tho Sheriff or dered a special venire of 20 men on hand Monday. Hossen, with the Infant daughtor, appeared In the courtroom yesterday In time to hear tho closing argu ments in the case of Thomas Hussell, charged with assiiult with attempt to kill, lie nppeared slightly ner vous. A characteristic of his Im prisonment has been the appnrnnt Indifference to the charge with which ho Is accusesd. This, hlR friends de clare, has been an evidence, not of Indifference, but of stoicism charac teristic of the llossen family. The courtroom was filled wllh peo ple nil day today, and among the spectators was the sister of the ac cused man, the sister und family of tho dead wife, nnd many friends of the defendant. These are emphatic In their expressions of IiIb liiiiocenco. Tlie first Juror solocted was M. A.
