with first-degree murder, in connec
tion with the shooting and killing of
John Uecker, near Cleveland, on
April 10, was placed on trial before
Judge J. V. Hamilton in the Circuit
Court this morning.
Although displaying some evidence
of his long confinement in the county
jail, Campbell appeared perfectly
composed as be entered the crowded
courtroom and occupied a seat bl
slde bis attorneys. In fact, his physi
cal condition showed a marked Im
provement when compared with three
weeks ago when be appeared in the
ounie court and asked for an indefi
nite postponement of the trial on
account of ill-health. Near the rear
of tbe court room sat Mrs. Campbell
and her adopted daughter. Although
apparently not acustoiued to court
procedure, Mrs. Campbell' listened
attentively to every word uttered by
the attorneys as they examined and
cross-examined the prospective jur
ors. in the corridor of the court room
sat Mrs. l!ecker and her five small
clilldn.n. Apparently recalling the
sad tragedy which robbed her child
ren of a father, Mrs. Keeker sobbed
as she reviewed tbe throngs filing in
and out of the court chamber. The
children, who little realized the
strange proceedings, upon wntcn
hangs a man s nnony, piayeu nuoui
the corridor in a childish way. They

With the contract of Charles Barn

appears to be experiencing consider
able difficulty in securing a satisfac

received here today.
j A second advertisement for bids

Neely. 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.

tioned would be governed strictly by

the court in arriving at a verdict
was. extracted by Attorney Hermann
beforo be would cease his interro
gation. 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. I Krogel were
drawn in place i t Edwurd Neely and
it. C. Arnold, who were excused.
S. T. Evans was excused by Judge
Hamilton for cause. Mr. Evans said
he had talked with a number of the
witnesses nnd was conversant with
the facts In the ense.
C. D. Ilulck, nnother talesman, was
excused by the court for the reason
that ho entertained ft prejudice i
npuinit the law providing for capi
tal punishment.
During tho afternoon session the
stale excused N'. G. Peniiel and B.
V. Smith. The defense exercised i
six peremptory challenges and ex-'
cused M. McDonald, Carl Ohman,
Bert Homes, 11. 11. Horton, R. L. ,
McLaughlin and J. E. Harper.
In the Jury hex late this afternoon
in addition to tbosp originally called
and not excused either by the court

LOCAL RECORD MADE
Eddie Bush Shuts Out Glendale
Team Without a Hit
ONE BATTER REACHES SECOND.
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-

Although Sin it h threatened to
bring both civil and criminal proceed
ings against thoe responsible for bis
deportation, no papers had been filed
by him this morning.
A Oicmhile resident who arrived
in Kosehuig this morning, said Smith
bag been ery unpopular at Wolf
Creek for some time, and only a short
time ago was compelled to pay n
judgment of $:hmi, which was the re
sult of slanderous remarks uttered
by him against a woman of the Wolf
Creek vhinity. Other than being ac
cused of repeated slander. Smith is
a 10 alleged to have been involved in
seven! real eMa'e deals savoring of

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. He
looked after the halls and strikes
and went through without a kick

Marshal Williams has so fur not

Marshal Williams claims he noted
honestly, and us he Interpreted tho

which clothes the marshal or any

GENE THIS MORNING
KUGKXK, Or., June 20. 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.
