to defend Meyers, charged with assault
with intent to kill.
Bntwrt.s. who ie allseed as being a pat
of HtJLockhart. who was convicted a
few days ago of larceny from the person
Of Henry Belmer, was .arraigned this
morning on a similar charge, and in the
absence of his attorney, was not asked to
plead.
S. A. Gardimer, E W. Bartlett. J. C
' Smith and John Klein, through their at
torneys Crawford & Crawford, Sam
White of Baker City, and J. F. Baker,
pleaded not guilty and stated they were
ready for immediate trial and asked for
permission to argue against the validity of
the indictments at 1 :30 this afternoon,
which the court granted.
The court during the forenoon was oc
cupied with the trial of the state vs Ma
roney, better known as "Box Car Casey."
AFTERNOON SESSION
At one-thirty the jury which was out
with ths case of John Maroney. better
known as "Boxcar Casey," returned a
verdict of guilty as charged. He will re
ce:v his sentence at nine o'clock Thurs
day Attorneys for J. C. Smith and J. N.
Klein served notice that they would at
tack the indictment and filed the proper
affidavits. The case of Gardimer and
Bartlett was set for hearing Thursday
morning.
As we go to press, the case of the
state versa Ed Healy and Thomas Burk,
indicted for larceny in a dwelling, was on,
the jury having been secured. Th's is a
case wherein Healy and Burk are charged
with stealing a valise whose contents are
valued at $250 from Robert Wilson of
Hilgard. '
In the report yesterday of the findings
of the Grand Jury we stated that Council
men Gardinier and Bartlett were charged
with receiving bribes. This was an error
on the part of the reporter. The indict
ment charges them with attempting to
extort money.
As there is much comment and seem
ingly much diversion of opinion as to the
liabilities in the bribery and extortion
cases, we "ive the folhwing sections of
the statute under which the indictments
were brought.
Section 1878 If any person shall cor
ruptly give, offer, or prom se to give any
gift, graLrty, valuable consideration or any
thing whatever, or shall corruptly promise
to do or cause to be done any act bene
ficial to any judicial, legislative, or ex
ecutive offi;er. with intent to influence the
vote, opinion, decision, judgment, or other
official conduct or such officer in any
matter, question, duty, cause or - pro
ceeding, which there is or by law may come
or be brought before such officer, or with
intent to influence such officer to act in
his official capacity in a particulai manner
so as to produce or prevent any particular
result, such person, upon conviction there
of, shall be punished by imprisonment in
the penitentiary not less than two or more
than ten years.
Smith and Klein under their indictment
are amenable to the above section.
Section 1777 If any person, either
verbally or by written cr printed eom-
IIIUI1IMUUI1, tMlAU Uil MIII U jf Itgu, Jf W
the person or property of another, or that
of any person standing in the relation of
parent or child, husband or wife, or- sister
or brother to such other, or shall in like
manner threaten to accuse another of
any crime, with intent thereoy to
extort any ' pecuniary advantage or
property from such other, or
with intent to compel such other to do any
act against his will, such person, upon
conviction thereof, shall be punished by
imprisonment in the penitentiary not less
than six months nor more than two years,
or by imprisonment in the county jail not
less than three months nor more than one
year.
Gardinier and Bartlett were indicted
for attempting to extort money, and are
amenable to section 1777.

appeared in the arena amid a deafening
applause. They began pleminary practice
at once.
During the afternoon the rain changed
to snow flakes. Jones, the playing mana
ger ot the White Socks', held a final friend
ly consultation with Chance. George
Davis is not at his usual place, that of
short stop, because his doctor positively
forbids to let him play in the freezing rain.
It is calculated that Davis' illness will
lessen the White Socks' chances for win
ning, twenty-five percent. The field cap
tain's position at short was taken by Tan
nehil from third and Rohe went to third.
It was not until the fifth that either
side scored. Substitute Rohe came to
bat and whalloped a dandy out to left
field for three bases. Dougherty was
next man up and got a pop-up. Catch
er Kling dropped the throw scoring Rohe
on an error.

Jones for the white socks singled to right
field and took second on Hoffman's throw
that caught Altrock out and scored on
(shell's single.
When the Cubs came to bat in the
sixth inning, Kling walked, Brown hit
safe over second and Hoffman sacrificed.
A wild pitch scored Kling.

TAKING RIGHT STEP
Scrlpps News Association)
Havana, Oct. 9 Taft made a long step
coday toward pacification by restoring
Rudeoge Moynello to mayoralty of Al-
quizar, which office he deserted to take
the field as a colonel in the insurgents'
army. Many other appointments were
made from men who joined the rebels.
This has won favor with the insurgent
party and established a strong prestige
for the improvised governor.
Taft has ordered all builders and miners
to be refused access to their stocks of
explosives, which are to be kept under
government supervision until the Island
is free of danger.
