GRAND JURY IN SESSION.
October Term of C ire wit Cottrt Now
On J. A. Panda Having Haariag.
The regular October term of Circuit
Court commenced at the court bouse ia
this city on Tuesday last. The first
matter taken op after excusing a num
ber of tbe jurors was the drawing of a
grand jury, which was composed oi the
following named men:
Geo. W. Makintter, Goble, farmer;
Jas. W. Barr, Clatekenie, farmer; Nell
Downing, Kainier, farmer; Geo. C.
Beaver, St. Helens, fisherman; John
Boyd, Houlton, farmer; Edmund Oleen,
Deer Island, mill man ;M. Hoven, Goble
laborer. The balance of the jurors
were excused nntil tbe 13th.
The grand jury went to work on tbe
case of the State vs. Jacobsen, tbe Bute
vs. Lovell, and investigated some other
mat ten.
Much evidence of an incriminating
nature which Sberitf Thompson has
against J. A. Pender, suspected of the
murder of Mrs. Daisy Webrmra and her
son, Harold, aged 3, in a lonely cabin
near Scappoose, September 4, was intro
duced before the grand jury here Wed
nesday, and will lead to an indictment
against the prisoner charging murder in
the first degree. The jury, it is believed,
will not return a verdict nntil tonight at
the earliest.
Among the witnesses examined Wed
nesday were Guy Whitney, the clerk
who ia alleged to have given Pender tbe
paper which was found unopened in the
Wehrnian cabin ; Mrs. R. E. Bates, who
declares that the placed in the com
munity mail box Saturday before the
murder a package of stenciled muslin,
discovered unopened by the authorities
wheo they substantiated tbe suspicion
that a murder had been committed, and
J. M. Fry, the Scappoose rancher, who
sayt the package of muslin wat not ia
the mailbox near Pender's residence at
0 o'clock on the afternoon of September
2, within an hour and one-half of tbe
time Mrs. Bates declares she placed it
there in the presence of the prisoner.
On account of Thursday being a legal
holiday the grand jury went home
Wednesday evening, and again took up
tbeir labors at this place this morning.

Considerable work has been done re
cently at the camp of tbe St. Helens
Timlier Co. in the way of tapping more
of their holdings, and at the present
time there is about a mile and one half
of grade ready for tbe rails to be laid.
The out put of the camp has been steady.
( and it has been a good year for ihe iu-
j Wrests involved.
A GOOD POSITION
C-m lw had by ambitious young men
and ladies in the field of "Wireless" or
Railway telegraphy. Since the 8-hour
law became effective, and since tbn
Wireless companies are establishing sta
tion! throughout the country there is ' a
great shortage of telegraphers. Positions
pay beginners from $70 to $00 per month,
with good chance of advancement. Tbe
National Telegraph Institute ol Portland,
Ore., operates under snpervition ol R.l
R. and Wireless officials and places a)
graduates into positions. It will pay
yon to write them for full d tails.
