Far;» Mobba. private eecretary to Oor-
erncr Weat, demanded that the saloon-
man In the council resign, and they
refused. She then left town and mar-
tlal law was declared, all the saloons
war« eelxed, and the olty officials
placed under arrest.
Miss Fern Holibs, Governor West's
private secretary, did not declare mar
tial law. Her only connection with
the case was to demand of the mayor
and other city officials that they sign
blank resignations. This they declin
ed to do, and then It was that Colonel
Lawson took control and read to the
assembled multitude the proclama
tion of martial law which he had
brought with him from Salem.
Colonel Lawson flatly refused to
recognise an Injunction against Gov
ernor West's martial law order, which
had been sent by telegraph to Bpeclal
Deputy Sheriff U. 8. Jackson by Clr-
oult Judge Anderson, of Maker.
While a lone deputy sheriff waa en
gaged In serving Injunctions on mem
bers of the militia to prevent them
shipping confiscated liquors and bar
fixtures out of the town, the troops,
under Colonel B. K. Lawson, kept
right on loading the contraband goods
on the train.
Not only were liquors and bar fix
tures shipped to Baker, but there waa
a wealth of gambling paraphernalia,
constating of cards and dice, three
roulette wheels, one "monte" layout
and three money slot machines with
the 'money, It. still In them.
The city officials who have been
under arrest were released by Colonel
laiwson. but the town remained under
martial law.
Huntington, Or.—Troope from the
Oregon state militia under Colonel B.
K. I.nwaon arrived here tt> declare
martial law and to close the aaloona
here.
There are 10 militiamen from Cop
perfield who are with Colonel Lawson
and this force Is considered sufficient
to cope with any situation that might
arise in Huntington.
W E S T D E F I E S L E G A L ACTION
•ring taloonmen to Salem If Neces
sary, Orders Governor.
Salem, Or.— Learning that lawyers
for the saloonkeepers and city offi
cials of Copperfleld might attempt le
gal action, Oovernor West telegraphed
Colonel Lawson not to pay any atten
tion to any papers served upon him,
and to bring the aatoonmen to Salem
if he could get no assurance of co-op
eration In the enforcement of the laws.
That the governor Intends to punish
those who disobeyed his orders waa
proved when ho telegraphed Circuit
Judge Anderson to hear charges
against the sheriff of Baker county.

GOOD ROADS MEETING
HELD LAST NIGHT
(Special to The Mail)
Last night a Good Roads Booster
Meeting was held in Salem which was
well represented by all classes, farm
ers predominating. The meeting voted
unanimously to support the appropria
tion of $850,000 for the roads of Mar
ion County.
It was also conceded to be best to
leave the selection o f the roads to be
improved to the County court.
Meetings o f a like nature will be
held in and around Stayton in the near
future. In this manner it is hoped to
create enough enthusiasm to carry the
proposed improrvement at the]next elec-
| tion.
