GIRL'S SLAYER
. MUST HANG
Mat Jancigaj Receives Sentence
From Judge McBride
CROWD FILLS COURT ROOM
Slayer of Mary Schmreker to
Hang January 8. Taken
to Salem Monday
Matthias Jancigaj, who was fonud
guilty in the firBt degroe .of murder
ing Mary Schmreker in the residence
of her parents on the night of July
11, while he was in a jealous rage,
was brought bufore Judge McBride
Friday morning, and sentenced to
hung.
Long before ten o'clock, the time
set by the court for the pronouncing
of tlij sentence, the court room was
filled with a crowd of carious people,
gathered to hear one of their fellow
men told how. when and where he
was to die. The attorneys for the de
fense were present, as was Deputy
Proseouting Attorney Livy Stipp,
wlici assisted in the prosecution.
At ten o'clock, the convicted man,
escorted by Chief of Police Olias K.
Bumas and Sheriff K. B. Beattie,
walked into the room and took his ac
customed place at the prisoner's
bench, the place rrom 'which lie has
watched closoly the face of every wit
ness placed on the stand. There was
a slight commotion in the gathered
crowd, as they craned to get a better
view of the murderer's features,
which looked rath t hngeard as com
pared to the cheerful look he wore
during the trial.
Judge McBride took his place a few
minutes later, and in a well worded
talk, stated that this was the sixth
man he had been called upon to give
the death sentence, and that from the
evidence in all of the cases, the use
of intoxioaling liquors, bad associates
and an unbridled temper had bee. the
cause of sending the men to their
Maker in this manner. Ho hoped
that the incident would be an object
lesson to o;her young men, aud cause
them to change their ways before
the? too, would find themselves in a
similar predicament. It was plain
that the pronouncing of the death
sentence was greatly to the distaste
of the venerable judge, but like the
impartial representative of the law
that I e is, he pronounced the sentence
in a firm, steady voice.
"Matt Jancigaj." The prisoner
arose in nervous haste. "Have yon
anything to say before I pass sentence
on you?'' The Austrian did not seem
to understand, bat looked toward his
counsel with an inquisitive glance.
W. A. Dimick, one of his attornoys,
stepped ti his side, and in a whis
pered conversation, explained the
question to him. "No, not got
nothing to say" wa Mb reply, and he
stood workiug his hands in a nervous
manner while the sentence was pro

He is to be hanged at the state pen
itontiary'at Salem on Friday, Janu
ary 8, 1P09, and after abjuring him to
Srepare to meet hia Maker, tne Judge
ismissed the celebrated case. The
prisoner immediately left the room."
Monday morning, Jancigaj, in care
of Dr. Eddy and Sheriff Beattie, left
this city for Salem. The convicted
man did not seem to be at all dis
turbed that this was his last trip on
earth, but instead smoked numerous
cigarettes and smiled continually.
When the train arrived, the Austrian
bid everybody he knew in the as
sembled crowd good bye.

Haist States the Body Was
That of His Brother

It appears, from a suit filed In the
Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon,
that the mystery surrounding the Iden
tity of the man who was found near
the Sprlngbrook school house near Os
wego In September has not been clear
ed as yet. Six weeks after the find
ing of the body, Mrs. Effle B. Robert
son, who resides at Firland, a station
near Lents, positively identified the
body through the effects found in the
clothing as F. A. Williamson, her fath
er, who left home to do some pros
pecting near Sucker Lake. On the
body at the time It was found was
$038.85.
Through his attorneys, Hesse &

time has been scouring the Btate for
traces of a missing brother, has filed
a contest in the County Court, re
questing that the letters of adminis

inson be revoked for the reason that
they were obtained by fraudulent
means. Haist also filed a separate
petition for letters of administration
for the estate of the unknown man,
whom he claims was his brother. -.

the kind that has ever occurred in this
city. A special car carrying the of
ficers of the grand lodge, and 135
members of the various Portland chap

es. At the midnight hour, the gath

Our people are generally on the go,
especially the butter handlers, who are
always busy on Monday and Tuesday
mornings.
There has been a man around look
ing for a place to see whether it
would pay to put a dry goods and

A letter has been received from Al
bert Hattan dated November 15, and
everything Is wrapped In Jack Frost
and the ground Is frozen hard in Illi
nois. How does this appear on this,
the 24th day of November, 1908, In
Clackamas County, Oregon. Crass Is
green and stock cattle doing well on

have to work hard all summer to
raise enough to keep their stock from

Grant Mumpower and wife paid Mr.
Bass, an old Nebraska friend, a visit
last Saturday night and went to hear
Mr. Shannon preach." The report Is
that Mr. Shannon said some good
things. Some times most any kind of
a preacher can do that well. Satan
did that well once In the history of
the world, He quoted scripture. There
are two young men here who have
been preaching up at Logan at the
Baptist meeting house for about a
week or more. They have arranged
with the board of directors, commenc
ing with tonight, the 24th inBt., to
preach at the Stone school house. One
Is of Irish descent. They have the
appearance of amiable young men;
hope their behavior will prove out
their appearance.
Teazel Creek.
The hearts of the people of Teazel
Creek were again saddened last Fri
day morning when it was learned that
William Miller, who has lived In this
community so long, had died during
the night. Mr. Miller has been sick
for over two years, suffering greatly
a good part of the time. The body
was laid to rest last Saturday. Rev.
Malloy of Oregon City preached the
funeral at the Teazel Creek church.
The Odd Fellows took charge of the
body and conducted the services at
the grave.
Little Rachel Melton Is very sick
with pneumonia. Dr. Powell Is at
tending her.
The people of Teazel Creek are glad
to welcome to our midst Mrs. Wood-
lngton and daughter, who are now liv
ing In Cary Herman's house. They
formerly lived near Silverton.'
Mrs. Joe Simons Is again In very
poor health. Her friends are discour
aged, as she seemed to be improving
for some time, then suddenly became
worse again.
Rev. Malloy, a former pastor of
Teazel Creek, ' preached In his old
pulpit last Sunday to an Interested
audience. He Is quite feeble with
age, being 76 years old. His many
friends appreciated his coming among
us and in token of their love and es
teem they made up a purse of eleven
dollars, which they presented to him.
This will be appreciated by both him
and his aged and sick wife.
Miss Kester, our worthy school
marm, visited Miss Bessie Qulnn last
Saturday evening.
Grandma Bagby is again among us,
and attended church last Sunday at
Teazel Creek.
The many friends of Dr. L. G. Ice,
one of Oregon City's popular dentists,
will be pleased to learn that at a re
cent examination before the State
Board of Dental Examiners lie passed
with high honors, standing fourth in
a claua of 28. The doctor is a gradu
ate ot several eastern colleges, but un
der the dental laws of Oregon it was
necessary to take the examinations
prescribed by the board before he
could "set np shop" and pet btiHy in
this state. Besides being well up in
his profession, Doo is one ot the best,
if not the best, fishermen in Oregon.
We know, for we have witnessed hia
expert angling for salmon on the
Willamette and partaken somewhat of
the fruits of his catch.

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by Milwaukee Grange, No
vember 21, 1908.
Like an electric shock from a clear
sky came the sad news of the death
of our beloved brother, Richard Scott,
as only a few days before he had
been greeting his hosts of friends In
and around our city.
Probably no other man was better
known In this section of the state, or
one who had done more for the devel
opment of this region than our worthy
brother, Richard Scott.
His personal character was such as
to draw to him many friends who
were loyal to him always, and both
his supporters and opponents respect
ed his worth and Integrity, and his
neighbors and friends will long re
member his many acts of Christian
charity and neighborly kindness.
He held many prominent official po
sitions In which he earned a reputa
tion of eminent ability and quiet dig
nity, and was a thorough master of
public questions.
Whereas, We, the members of Mil
waukee Grange, feeling deeply the
loss we have sustained by his sudden
and untimely death, desire to extend
our deepest sympathy to his sorrow
ing family and attest the high esteem
In which he was held by our order
as a friend and brother, and for his
many admirable qualities, public, so
cial and personal,, therefore, be It
Resolved, by this grange, that we,
as a body, express In this formal way,
the love and respect we held for him,
our most worthy brother.
And be it further
Resolved, That we drape our charter
for a period of thirty days, and that
these resolutions be spread on the
records o fthls order, and a copy sent
to the bereaved family, and also be
published In the county papers.

these have united with the Baptist
Church and that many have united
with the other churches of this city.
The free will offering which a grate
ful people gave to Mr. Shannon
amounted to $625.00. This Is a large
sum of money, when this fact Is tak
en consideration, namely, that Shan
non unmercifully exposed the sins and
short-comings of the people. He
spared no one, he called a spade a
spade, he called people names, he did
everything to prevent people from giv
ing to this free will offering and yet
the people gave and were glad to give.
Oregon City was never so stirred be
fore In a revival effort. It was the
