Cfficial Paper of the City of Jacksonville, Oregon

County, Oregon. D. W. B agshaw , Editor and Proprietor
Entered as second-class matter June 22, 191)7, at the post office at Jacksonville,

The Martin Verdict Again.
The Martin trial has been discussed considerably during
the past week, among the papers discussing the matter
was the Ashland Tidings, which advises the Tribune to
lodge its complaint against the prosecuting attorney in
Another in
place of blaming court, jury and sheriff,
teresting feature was a letter over the signature of A. E.
Reames, attorney for Martin, in which he disclaims any
special credit for the acquittal, declaring that the verdict
was due to facts. He also states that the criticism of
the sheriff and deputy Wilson is most unfair.
He con
cludes with the statement that “in fact no jury could
have been selected that would have convicted Martin, if
there had not been a syllable of evidence introduced ex
cept that produced by the state itself, which evidence
showed a case of self-defense,”
The Central Point Herald publishes a letter by one
Simpson Wilson, in which the writer at considerable
length defends Martin and the jury, and denounces the
witnesses for the state.
Discussion of the matter can be productive of no good
farther than to bring the facts regarding the trial, to the
attention of those not present during the hearing of the
case and to set right many false reports which have been
circulated.

THE SHERIFF’S
STRATAGEM
A m 1 wns resting ut the top of a
long hill I was overtaken by a man on
horsebaek. and after salutations hail
been exchanged he observed that lie
was In no hurry und would get down
to smoke a pipe with uie. After awhile
lie iiniioiiiK-ed that he was the county
sheriff mid was then on bls way to re-
■■nptiire a prisoner who had broken out
of Jail nt Smithville the night before.
The prisoner lived in n cabin a short
llstaui-e down the road, mid as we fin
ished our pipes and Jogged along the
>llieer suggested that 1 cull with him

"But is the fugitive u dangerous

"That's ni-eording to how you take
Him." was the nhswtiE
"And how do you mean to tuke him?' >>•
"Oh. I’ll be rort of soft and gentle
with him, and If there is going to be
any shooting you’ll have warning In
time to get out.”
It was summer time, and when we
reached the cabin the escaped prisoner
sat on the doorstep with a shotgun
across Ills knees mid a pipe between
Ills teeth. Ills wife, who was also
smoking, sat on a log near by having
the family ux close at hand, and the
pair never even looked up while the
sheriff was dismounting mill hitching
his horse to a tree. 1 got the wink to
await development», and we took seats
on a stump within twenty feet of the
door and tilled our pipes for another
suioke. Neither the man nor hlg wife
paid the slightest attention to us or we
to them, nnd thus stood the situation
for a quarter of an hour. Then the
fugitive begun to grow uneasy, and
after a bit he said:
"Tom, 1 reckon yo’ hev come for
me!”
“Skassly, Bill, skassly,” replied the
sheriff aa he looked up In seeming Bur
prise.
"If yo’ hev I’ll never he Ityoken back
to that Jail alive!" growled the fugi
tive.
I glanced at the wife, nnd the look
on her face and the way she fingered
the ax tol.I pluinly that she was ready
to stand by her husband hi ease he
needed help.
"Don't git oneasy," ailvised the slier
