Kkvikw of n little hunting party leaving St. Johns for a point in the vicinity of St. Helens. Those forming the party were S. W. Cochran, his son, Paul, nnd another young lad, Herbert Whitten, whose home was in Ports mouth. The party was camped between Troutdale and Mount St. Helens ntid was having a jolly time. Yet Death hovered over It and hesitated, ns if its victim had not been selected. Sunday morning all of the hunters had been off for sport nnd were returning to camp to prepare the next meal. Suddenly one of the number spied n board which would make a primitive table for the camp's use and suggested that it be carried along. The boys proposed to carry it while Mr. Cochran took one of the guns to lessen the load of the lads. The remaining gun was carried he asked that some siecifie charge.

Mr. McCJnrry then iniblicly with- le hdwnrdsi drew from the Ivlwanlscase, saying that he did not desire to push a defense for a client who refused to apenr in his own behulf. He stated that his time was too val uable to fritter it away in useless trips. At this i)oiiit .Mayor King stated that he held a litter from C. I). Kdwards, written from some jtolut in Uregou, where lie was buying lum!er for his basket factory in Albiua. This letter practically withdraws the withdrawal of Mr. Hdwnrds" withdrawal and there will be a successor to Mr. Kdwards chosen next Monday evening if the council will but get together and carefully use the judgment which each mem ber possesses.

"I wish," he vehemently declared, "that theie were more of the city council here so that I could publicly withdraw from this case. I desire to have no more to do with it in any way." Whether or not this should lie taken as a complete resignation is a matter for argument; but it is a foregone conclusion, all things con sidered, that the case will never be heard. There are many complex conditions surrounding "the cele brated case" which will nmke spicy reading when they nre published, there nre rumors nnd rumors, some of which will startle ninny of the jieople on both sides of the question.

PortUnd Whitter said he would get it and reached over and took the gun by the muzzle to pull it toward him. At this moment Paul Cochran did not look around but a second later came an explosiou.

There was no struggle, no acute wrestling with the pangs of agony. A moment's transitory horror and the lad knew what mortals yet do not know. Mr. Cochran, who was several hundred feet in advance of the lads, hurried back to the scene of the casualty, aghast at the sad fatality: but there was nothing that he could do save to hurry the remains to his relatives. He awaited no in quest as he was too badly shocked ' a terry At i.. .1.. .1... It T.i.hro Hn.iks nliont the txiDiihitlon I : ! ""cnicii uy u.e oriununce regu of St. Johns.
