uole, of Montana, wa3 arrested
Thursday night by "Night Officers
Shaw aud Cooke, and lodged in jail
on a charge ot carrying couo.aled
weapons. Cole was detected by Offi
cer Cooke in the act of dodging around
tne Southern Pacific depot yards. The
man looked suspicions to the police
man who rrdered him to accompany
him to the station, but the stranger
resisted and Cooke called to Shaw
who was a short distance away. Shaw
asked the man his age. Cole appeared
nustrated a-nd was unwilling to give
satisfactory reply. He saiu he was
27 years of ige aud was born in 1888.
He also tola Shaw that he worked in
the mills and boarded at a Main street
restaurant but he was unable to tell
the name of the mill or the restau
rant, and the vigilant eye of the
officer detected a bunch uuder Cole's
coat and he promptly ran him in.
Cole pleaded for mercy at the hands
of Justice Stipp Friday afternoon.
He said he was from Montana, that
he had been working in Portland, aud
was on his way to Stayton, Marion
County, where his mother was ill.
He hud less than t,l, and he want
ed to use this money to get his suit
case, which he had expressed from
Montana, out of the office at Silem.
He told such a convincing story
that the Court fined him $10 and re
mitted the flue, and Cole was sent
on his way home rejoicing.
MINERS IN FROIrt OGLE.
Work Progressihg Favorable With Day
and Night Crew.
Eight miners came in from the
Ogle Mountain mines Monday to
spend the Fourth of July. Work at'
the mines is progressing favorably
and the 5-stamp mill is kept running
night and day. The- ledge is being
worked thoroughly and caretully, and
is now 10 feet in width, but the oper
ators will probably widen it 15 feet
more. It is probable that the capacity
of the mill will be doubled by the
addition of five stamps. The 'man
agement ot the mine is Dot picking
out the choicest ore to make the best
showing but is taking the ore as it
comes from the dump regardless of
the quality. Those who are in from

WIDOW DERIVES BENEFIT
Children of Prominent Men
of Union Mills Were the
Contestants in an Im- ?
pcrtant Case. '.
County Judge T. F. "Ryan ended
his second term of office Saturday by
handing down a decision sustaining
the last will aud testament of the
late G. J. Truilinger, who died April
15, 1905, at his home in Union Mills.
. This rase has been i ne ot much in
terest in Clackamas county, as Mr.
Trulliiiger was a well known citizen
and the testimony offered by the con
testants waB sensational in the ex
treme. Tliay alleged that his second
wife, Erikke C. Trullinger, induced
him to make tne will in her favor, by
the use ot undue influence, giving
hira morphine or other drugs to the
extent of incapacitating him in mind
and memory and sufficient to pre
vent him from comperheuding the
fact ot what he was doing, the nature
and condition of the property he was
devising and bequeathing, the nat
ural objects of his bounty and his
relations to theni and their claims
upon him. The contestants were the
children of Mr. Trulliuger by his first
wife.
The court, says: "Much latitude has
been allowed by the court in the in
troduction of testimony as to die con
hditiou of the deoedent, physically
aud mentally, for many months and a
much longer period after the said
December 9, l'.IO!!, when the will was
executed, and the contestants have
introduced many witnesses to show
that the decedent was feeble, sick
and suffering and that much morphine
was "dmiuietered to him, as they
claim for the purpose of influencing
him . in the disposition of his
property Must of the evideuoe
relates to his condition subsequent to
the making of the w 11 and of the ast
fifteen months of his life. The pro
ponent ndmits giving morphene at
many times but claims that it was
given under medical direction and for
the purpose of allaying pain and al
lowing the decedent to have rest and
permitting him to sleep. Testimony
was also introduced by the contest
ants that they were defrauded of pec
uniary rights and valuable property,
thatjequitable and rightfuly belongings

to them, which contention does not
seem to be sustained by the evidence
submitted."
"It is there "ore acoording to the
facts found and the conclusions of
law arrived at ordered, adjudged,
decreed and determined that the in
strument filed in this Court on the 24th
day of April A. D. 1905, is the last
will and testament of G. J. Trulling
er, deceased ; that the said testator
G. J. Trullinger at the time of matt
ing said will and testamenut was of
sound and disposing mind and mem
ory and competent to make a will.
That the said instrument was his
free act and testament and was in all
respects executed as required by law.
It is further ordered and decreed that
the petition of contestants to vacate
and set aside the said last Will and
Testament be denied and dismissed;
that said last Will and Testament be
admitted to probate and that Let
ters Testamentary of the said Estate
of G. J. Trullinger, deceased, issue
to Erikke O. Trullinger without bonds ;
that the costs in this contest and pro
bate ot will be paid one-half by the
Estate and one-half by the Contest
ants, and that judgment be so en
tered." Albert Friedrichs, the sod of C. W.
Friedrichs, was accidentally shot
Wednesday in the right foot with a
22-calibre rifle. The wound is not a
serious one.

MEETINGS FOR
GENERAL GOOD
Board of T r;ade and Citizens to
Hold Monthly Sessions.
NEW OFFICERS ELECTED
Committee Named to Look
After Street Sprinkling and
Switch From S P.
Railroad.
Ginger will be injected into the
veins of the members of the Boara of
Trade, and at Friday's meeting of the
directorate the president and secre
tary were authorized to call monthly
meetings of the stockholders and other
persons interested in the city's growth
and the county's prosperity for the
general good. The first meeting will
be held assoou as practicable.
The directors named a committee to
investigate the street spriukiine prob
lem to report next Friday uittht at a
meeting of the Board. Numerous sug
gestions were handed out, J. U.
Campbell advocates sprinkling with
ai electric car, while others favored
the purchase of a water wagon and
team, or at leaBt tbi consummation of
an arrangement with owners of a
team to be used duriug the dry season
it is possible that an effort will be
made to raise funds among the busi
ness men to purchase a 'sprinkling
wagon and then ask the citv to oper
ate. Before this is done, however, nu
expression on the matter will be ob
tained ifrom the city fafthers.
Charles H. Dye, who whs elected
to the legislature from Clackamas
county at the recent election, war
unanimously chosen president of the
hoard lor the ensuing year. Honors
were evenly distributed. Judge Thos.
F. Ryan as chosen secretary, Jolm
Adams first viOB-presidei t; Grant B.
Dimick, second vice uresident and D.
O. Latourette was re-elected treas
urer.
W. A. Hunltey, II. E. Cross and O.
W. Eastham were .named as a com-
?ittee to oonfer with the officials of
the Southern Pacific Company re
garding the installation of a "switch.
Mr. Huntley, who is secretary of the
Oregon City Planing Mill Company,
stated that tie had already had a
consultation with the officials, with
the result that some of them were
coming up here in a short time to
look into the situation. The planing
mill company ships many cars of
luoibei and is forced to load cars at
the pulp station at Parkplaoe. It
seems very probable that an arrange
ment will be effected for a switoh
somewhere in the north end of the
city. '

human Trelment.
Mrs. Effle M. Armstrong, who was
married at Canby, this county, March
81, 1903, to William U. Armstrong,

the necessities of life. She joined
him at Los Angeles April 14, 1905,
but one year later, he, without cause
refused to live with her and broke
up her home. She offered to go with
