CITY MARSHAL
SHOT HICKMAN
Former Oregon City Man In
stantly Killed.
SLAYER IS UNDER ARREST
Terrible Tragedy Occurs at
Prairie City and Re
sults in Sudden
Death.
Ernest Hickman was shot and killed
early Saturday morning at Prairie
City, Grant county, and a telegram
announcing the sad news was reoeived
here Saturday. Hickman was born
and raised here, where his mother,
Mrs. Charles Hickman, and his brother
and sister, Dr. Harvey Hickman and
Mrs. Arthur Warner reside. Mrs.
Hickman and Dr. Hickman attended
the fnneral at Prairie City Tuesday
afternoon. .
Reports vary a trifle bub from the
most reliable information obtainable,
it appears that Hickman, wtur" was a
bartender in his , broiher-in-law's
saloon, resented trie interference of
Marshal William Lucey. Two women
were drinking in the rear of the sa
loon about 8 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, and Lucoy, who had only been
in office about three weeks, ordered
them out of the place. . Hickman
pushed the marshal aside With his
arm, and Lucey drew a revolver and
fired into Hickman's body, the bullet
passing through and striking City Re
corder Haiglit, who was just entering
the front door, but the force of the
ball was spent, and Haiglit was unin
jured. . ' ,
Hicsman walked Jtwo blocks to the
doctor's office, but fell on the side
walk in front of the physician's home.
He was taken to his home directly
across the street from where he fell,
and expired in, less than an hour.
Ernest Hickman' was 26 years of age.
He leaves a wife and one child. Ever
ett Hickman, who is connected with
the Facifio States "Telephone & Tele
graph Companv, iu . Portland, is his
brother.
Reports from Grant county state
that Marshal Lucey, of Prairie City,
who killed Hickman, has been ar
resetd. Lucey has a bad reputation,
and Hickman was his third victim.
Severl years ago, whenlLucey was an
officer of the law in Southern Oregon,
he killed two men who resisted arrest.
No Reciprocity There.
Attendance at the 'production of
"Rip Van Winkle" in Shively's op
erahouse Saturday night was niuoh
less than is usually seen at amateur
plays in Oregon City, and is especially
surprising as many students of the
city schools took a leading part,' the
cast being made np Almost entirely
of Barclay high soliool pupils. The
boys who managed the affair are in
clined to be resentfnl over the lack
of attendance, and believe that reoi
prooity was not praoticed.
Released Until June.
Dan W. May. who was acquitted ,in
tne circuit court last 'week, alter a
trial on the charge of stealina a bunch
of horses from West Oregon City, has
been released upon fioo bonds until
the June termor oourt. There are
two indictments still pending against
May on tne same oiiarge and the
prosecuting officials yet have hopes of
convicting him, and his supposed ac
complice,. W E. Milan, who. is under
1500 bonds, and who will also probably
be tried during the June term. Dis
trict Attorney Harrison Allen would
like to effe t the capture rf Charles
Decker, who is wanted for complic
ity in the crime.
Land Opened for Settlement.
Townships 5 to 18 inclusive, south
of range 4 east, Willamette Meredian,
were thrown open to settlement Mon
day, but there was very little demand
for the land, at the local land office.
About 12 claims were filed in all, em
bracing 160 acres each, and about half
of these were timber claims, the other
half homesteads. These lands were
withdrawn from settlement about a
year ago ror the purpose ol adding
area to the Cascade a orest Reserve.
Most of the acreage is. in this county,
with some in Marion and Linn
counties.

Rooms for Fair Visitors.
The Board of Trade has received
several inquiries from Portland rela
tive to board and rooms during the
Lewis and Clark Fair. As Secretary

Oregon City or suburbs has fooms to
rent during the Fair, and would ad
vise him, he would furnish informa
tion to all those who inquired.

erly represent the auspicious occasion
of its appearance in " the limelight
there is no doubt, and the result will
be a largely increased attendance.
Salem and Dallas will start the ball '
rolling on Jnne 6.
Value of Space
'Advertising by use of placards, posters and similar means
has its advantages, but it has been demonstrated beyond per
adventure that the expenditure that brings the best and most
lasting results comes through the medium of the newspaper.
There is a freshness about the newspaper that cannot be
found in the poster or dodger, while the appearance of the
advertisement, together with the features of the journal, im
press the readers as other forms of advertising cannot.
That this view of the value of space in the newspapers
is correct is shown by the liberal use of the journals by all
the successful merchants, who contract for large space and
expend many hundreds of dollars jji this medium. Everybody
reads the papers, and that is the secret of the use of their
columns by men who wish to sell their goods.
