GROSS & MOODY, SU0RU &GroSS TOOK HIS OWN L1FF. N. Louderback of Cottrel', StniU Himself With Fatal Result. Last Friday morning about seven o'clock, J. N. Louderback committed suicide near Cottrell, a village nearly twenty miles from Oregon City, on the Sandy road, by shooting himself. Louderback was found by a neighbor with a bullet in his side. Coroner R. L. Holman, of this cit was summoned and ! ft for the scene ol the tragedy immediately. The deceased was a man of about sixty years of age and had no family save one child, and no other near relatives in Oregon. He was formerly a Hoosier an l had been in Oregon onlv about four months. About a year ago his wife died and her death, coupled with financial reverses, was largely responsible for his rash act. The Oor oner'f jury rendered a verdict to the effect that the deceased had come t"bis death by his own hands. Louderback is the fifth suic de in Clackamas county during the past ninety days, a record for suicide that is pernaps noi equalled by any previous penou oi uisiory in the annals of the county . The Coroner has held inquests in nearly a dozen cases during the past three months. HOP P1CK1NQ IN FULL SWINQ. Hundreds Engage in This flaking Business. Money It is hoppiokmg time in the Willam ette Valley, hundreds of people of all classes are in the hop yards this week helping to gather the crop for which this portion of the world is famous. Oregon City is almost deserted. The trans portation companies are finding it a hard matter to take the clouds of hop pickers to and from their destination aud are taxed 'almost to their fullest capacity. AlmoBt every morning for more than a week the scene at the depot on the ar rival of trains has been one to impress the stranger. Men.women and children are daily congregated waiting for the' train s arrival, while tents and baggage galore is piled up in front of the depot and entailing much work on thn hai?im,. , checker. It is probable that nearly a thousand people have gone from Oregon City to the various hop yards in the various parts of the valiey. Saturday a Bpecial hop pickers' train ran from Port land to Albany, which was crowded from one end to the other with hop pickers. Every day the Oregon City Transportation Company runs a boat up the valley loaded with pickers. These boats are a perfect jam of humanity. Many go hop picking just for the uting, but the major portion of those who go, are more interested in money making than they aie In the outing, for be it known that hop picking is a profitable business. A good picker can make from two to three dollars per day and in many instances asmuch as four dollars per dav has been made picking hops. This year as high as fifty centa a box is being paid pickers, but the staudard price is forty cents per box. The hop picking season will last for about three weeks. Many of those who go out will come bak better off by forty or fifty dollars than when thuy left. A crowd of hop pickers is the jolliest crowd in the world. At night when the day's work is done and darkness set'les down over th-land, the youn folks, an I many of t he old ones too, gather a', sowe favorite place and engage in danc ing. The hop pickers dance isone never to be fo'gotfon. The proprieties .ire thrown a-ide,dr s suits tabioed and t tie clothing that is worn is in many in stances the same as that worn while at work. The hop piokerawho go from Ore gon City will bring back thousands of dollar which will be epi"H in the city. A Communication.

The jury in the case of ex-Secretary of Rtate Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in a conspiracy to murder Governor William Goebel, in January, 1900, to-day found the defendant guilty and imposed the death sentence. ' , Powers was sentenced to imprison ment for life in his foriner trial for complicity in the conspiracy. It was on his motion that he secured the new trails each time. The verdict to-dav caused great excitement aniona the friends of other defendants in these cases. The third trial of the defendant cl-s- ed shortly before noon. Several hundred people erowded when the verdict was read, and intense silence prevailed The jury was polled and each man declared the verdict of guilt to be his finding. Powers sat un moved while bis attorneys asked for time to make a motion for a new trial. The jurors declined to state what oc curred in the jury room. ' ' Arthur Goebel, the brother ol the vic tim, broke down from the strain on hear ingofthe verdict of guilty. He is a prominent merchant at Cincinnati and he spent his time and fortune for more than three years in the prosecution of those accused of being in a conspiracy to kill his brother. I Powers has been convicted twicebe fbre. this being the third trail in widen the ju'y brought in a verdict of guilty againBt him. On his previous trails he escaped with a sentence of life imprison ment. All three of the trails were held at Georgetown and in each of them he had the assistance of the most able law yers that could be procured. Subscription lists were circulated in his interest by friendB and a sum of money was secured to defray the cost of his re peated trails and the investigating of the proceedings which preceded the killing of Governor Goebel. The last trial was distinguished by the fact that Powers addressed the jury in his own behalt and in a long review of the case showed him self to he a very competent attorney, while his eloquence in pleading for his life astounded those who bad watched him carefully in the past trials of the case. . Powers has already been three years in prison on the sentence of the previous court. Powers had nothing to say regarding the verdict, except to express his sur prise tiiAi such a result could be reached from the evidence presented and to an nounce that he would take an appeal and continue the case to the last resort. When Powers Beoured his former new trials a majority of those on the appel late court were Republicans,, but it ia now composed of Democratic Judges. As Commonwealth's Attorney Fraoklin shook hands with each juror after tbey were dismissed, Powers watched the greetings closely, but at no time did he shoff any sign of breaking down Powets is regarded as a strong man. He was elected Secretary of State on the Republican ticket headed by W. S. Tay lor in 1899, but served only a few months, as all the S'ate ofiicos were contested by thoe on the Democratic ticket headed by William Goebel. The former ttails of Pjwers were before Judge James E. Cantrill of this citv.but he was barred from sitting this' time and Governor Beckham appointed Judge Robbins, FREE STREET FAIR To Be Held In This City Sept. 4," 5, 7 and 8. 6, Oregon City is to have a free street fair beginning with tomorrow and con tinuing four days.

Wednesday morning about eight o'.clock as William Trimble was stand. mg in the door of Ownbey's olacksmith shop he noticed a stranger driving by in a two horse buggy and recognized one of the horses as an animal that he had formerly owned and which he had sold to E. 0. Dixon at Grant'a Pass. In view of the fact that the horse had been stol en from Mr. Dixon and he had written Mr, Trimble about the matter and re quested him to lookout in this vicinity for the missing animal, Mr. Trimble be caniH suspicious and haded the man. Trimble asked hi in where he had got ten the horse and not receiving satisfact ory explanation told the stranger that ! ne would have to give the horse up The two . ,en. proceeded to Dimick's livery stable where the horses were nut up and fed. Trimble proposed that he go and get his wife who would identify the horse, but the man demurred and said that he would give the horse up without any trouble as he was sure that hat Trimble had told about the matter was true. The stranger then asked where he could get a meal, and was conducted to the Royal restaurant. No sooner hud : he got out of sight of Dimick than he I bolted out the back door and disappear ed In what direition he went it was impossible to disc ver. Two trains ! were due at the time, one from the 1 north and one from the south and he ; might have boarded either of them with 'out exciting comment or suspicion. I vVhen Trimble discovered that thj man I was gone he immediately became suspicious and hunted up the officials. A few moments before Sheriff Shaver had bef-n in the livery sta')le and had himself seen the man, but had not heard the story about the horse. By the time the Sheriff and a deputy could be found he had disappeared, whether he had taken one the trains or had disappeared in the hills it wan impossible t tell . The Sheriff telegraphed io points e ich way to have officers keep a look, out for hiin and 8'arted for Canby in h bugcv himself, while deputy Sara Kurlord weut in another direction. The two searched for nearly half a dav but could find no trace of the missing man, and returned to town. The t o horses and the buggv are yet at Dimick's baru awaiting the own er. While one of the horses is undoubt edly the stolen property of the Grant's Pass man, whose the other one is or whether it is stolen or not it is imposs able to learn. The animal is a bright bay, about 15 hands hUh, branded MW under a circle with other marks by which she can wily be identified. She is nrobably eight or nine years old and is in excel lent condition, indicating that she has had good care taken of her. The buggy ib a two-horse affair of good workmanship and in good condition, though showing marks of a goo 1 deal of travel and is mud stained to a consider able extent. In the buggy is a comolete camping outfit, consisting of a tent, a hammock, blankets ami clothing, wtiicii evidently belongs to the man who so mysteriously disappeared There was also a considerable amount of feed stufB for both man and beast in the buvgy, indicating that he had camped alo ig th road or had else contemplated causing along the road . Altogether, the proper ty left by the missing man, baide from the stolen horse, is valued at a couple of hundred dollar or probably more than that, and an effort will be made to learn to whom it belongs. Parties have be n lelei honed to all along the line to look nut for the man and a description has been furnished. It is believed that he stole both horses and the buggy. The man is described as being about tbirtv-five years old, sandy complexio ., weight about 170 pound, h light about five feet eight inches and smooth shaven. Wednesday afternoon Peter Anderson of Albany, came to town and i 'entifled the two sets of harness in which the horses were rigged and an overcoat hich was left in the buggy, as property which had been stolen from bim at Albanv on the 7th of the month. A re oori, from Albanv stated also that the man was being held there suspectnd of being a thief, but it is nor believed that he is the riirht man Unto noon ThursJav no trace has been discovered oi ibe thief save the Albany dispatch The buggy- and horse are heing held at Dimick's livery stable while the other property ii in the hand 1 of the chief 0' police who will hold it for identification. It is believed the whole outfit is stolen. Among other property found in the buggy was a 45 caliber Winchester revolver and a small flask contaiping a light colored liquor. The Salvation Army.
