CALL IN AND LOOK AT THE GOODS
This ollice is in receipt of a
postal card written to Mrs. A. J.
Noble, who resides in the eastern
part of the county, from her
brother, who was book keeper at
the Emporium in San Francisco
during the recent disaster at that
city. The postal gives a very vi
vid and concise pen picture of the
earthquake and its resultant ter
rors. It is as follows:
'We went through the midst of
the calamity and are still alive
and well. The burned district
smells very badly of the dead peo
ple under the rubbish. They try
to make us believe only a thous
and were killed, but 1 think 10,
000 is nearer it as they are taking
out hundreds daily. We have
seen enough. It was terrible, and
is terrible still. Wc are broke.
We bandy escaped with our lives.
Or i 1 lu is very nervous over the af
fair. I have an awtul pain lit my
risrht side and lei;s. The soldiers
shot anybody who didn't act to
suit them. People ar i like brutes
when they get a chance. Some
robbed, some stole, and looted,
hundreds were drunk in a few
hours and burned because too
drunk to get away. Babies were
born in the open streets by the
dozens. The injured often died in
the wagons or on the streets. The
dead were often thrown in the lire
to be ereamated. The scene was
awful. We are broke but we are
alive. Men cried like babies, wom
en were hysterical and children
knew not what to do.
JoK (ilUMKS.
Closing arguments were heard
today in the Miller murder t rial
which has engaged the attention
of the Court sine- last Monday.
It is expected that Judge lirad
shaw will give the jury its instruc
tions late this afternoon anil the
case will then go to the twelve
jurors. Testimony for both the
defense and the state was com
pleted yesterday afternoon, the
arguments beginning this morn
ing. This is the fourth trial of the
case, and it is attracting consider
able attention. The court room
has been crowded to the doors
ever since court convened last
Monday morning, and a large
milliner oi witnesses am! those in
terested in the case are present from
Harnev county where the murder
was committed in March 1IMI2.
The defendant was tried twice
in Harney county the two years
following the killing and convict
ed, but both times upon appeal to
i he supreme court the latter re
manded the case for a new trial.
A third trial was given in Malheur
county considerably over a year
ago on a change of venue, and the
supreme court again granted a
new trial and a change of venue
again to Oook county on the
grounds that the defendant had
not been accorded a fair and im
partial trial, (ieorge Miller has
already served many months in
the state penitentiary at Salem,
and was brought from the capital
to Prineville last fall to await the
present session of the Circuit court.
Testimony submitted during the
past week made clear that the kill
ing of Warien Curtis was brought
about by the stealing of one of
Miller's horses. On the night of
March ft, 1902, the defendant, in
company with James Colwell, went
to the Curtis corral to take pos
session of the horse and were met
there by Oursis. An exchange of
shots took place resulting in the
killing ot vurtis. .vinier gave
himself Up to I he sheriff of Harney
county and during the four years
following has been lighting for bis
freedom.
Witnesses from Harney county
are being held here in ease the
present jury disagrees over the
verdict in whieh event another jury
will be impanelled at once and
the ease tried for the lifll
Ark.; J. W. Hopkins, Vancouver;
W. W. P, rown, Seattle.
While the general charge upon
which those who have been indict
ed is conspiracy to defrmd the
government , there are a number
included in the list who have been
indicted on separate and individual
counts, perjury ami abetting the
couspiraey being the chief among
ttiein.
