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.

POWERS MUST HANO.
Olven the Extreme Penally on Third
Trial for tile Shying of ; :
Qoebel.
Georgetown (Ky.), August 29. 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

MYSTERIJUS STRANGER
ikps Out Leaving Two Horses and
Buggy at Livery Stable.
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

In a few moments the yelps ,of the
dogs announced that they h'd found the

and striking savagely. .
Thj moment the bear saw the hunters
