Portland Lumbermen Propose to
Southern Pacific Company.
Hue
Pnrtlund attorneys are busy preparing
papers In a suit to he instituted againt
the Southern Pacific company by the
lumbermen of Portland to compel that
company to furnish cars for traimportu
tlon of the products of the mills.
It is alleged to be a fact that as many
as 800 loaded cars have been standing
on sidetracks during the past few weeks
and have not been started for tlieir des
tination owing to the lack of motive
power on the road. The present condi
tion of car shortage has worked irreat
hardships upon many ot thn mills, and
repeated requests for relief have failed to
bring about any cnango. as a result me
lumbermen have reached the conclusion
that "forbearance ceases to be a virtue,"
and the suit will lie entered within the
next ten days in the names of all the
lumber firms in the city and a number
along tile Southern Pacific as plaintiff.
The industries of Oregon, says the Or
egonian, would not eufl'ur to the extent
they are because of a shortage of cars if
the Southern Pacific would cease trying
to maintain a monopoly upon the busi
ness along its lines and give the other
roads a chance to supply a few cars. At
least this is the statement of representa
tives of other roads, who declare that
the Southern Pacific, through motives of
greed, refuses to accept the cars of com
peting lines to be loaded for local hauls.
The implied intimation is that the Ore
gon branch of Mr. Harriman's system
wants to grab all the business, and when
It ( not able to handle it. bottles np the
superfluous amount that no other man
may get it. The consequence is that
that portion of traffic which the Southern
Pacific cannot handle must lie untouched

Robert Gardner was Saturday morning
given the maximum sentence of 20 years
in slate's prison oy juuge mcorme ior
the crime of niavhem. Gardner was
taken to Salem by Sheriff Shaver Satur-
dav nislit.
Gardner's trial was conducted in the
circuit court Friday, O. B Diinick and
Howard M. Brownell having been ap
pointed by the court to delend tbe ac
cused man. Uistrict Attorney Harrison
Allen and his deputy, J. U. Campbell
conducted the prosecution. The case
was submitted to the jury at 4 :30 o clock
Friday afternoon and the jurors deliber
ated until 7 o'clock tbe following morn
ing before amvir.2 at a verdict which
waa sealed and returned to the court
where it was opened at 10 o'clock. Guilty
of tbe crime of nisyhem as charged in
the information was the verdict. Coun
sel for the defendant declined to take up
the time of the court further in consider
ing the case. "I have only to say that I
am innocent of tbe ciiine, said Gardner
when asked if he desired to make a state
ment before sentence was pronounced,
Ia passing sentence, Judge McBride re
viewed Gardner career, wnicn Das oeen
one of almost continuous transgressing
In November 1892 Gardner was sen
fenced by Judge McBride from this
county to serve seven years for criminal
assault. But three of the seven years
were served, Judge McBride with other
prominent citizens petitioning the gov
ernor and securing the pardon of Gard
ner in lie hope that be would mend bis
ways. "Instead," continued the court
you bave been a menace and a nuisance
to ttie public since vour release Irom
prison and bave spent most of your time
in jail for wrong-doing.
The crime of which Gardner was con
victed is mayhem committed while at
tempting criminal assault on Martha
Andrews, an Indian woman of this city
The specific offense consisted of gouging
out with his hand the woman's one re
maining eye and leaving her entirely
blind. But one circumstance attending
tbe trial suggested sympathy for the
prisoner and that was the presence in
the court room of his aged mother. This
was overcome by the revolting nature of
crime and the general unlavorable repu
tation of the accused.

' FOUGHT AT SIX PACES;"
(narmlnarr Dwcl Tnwt Took Flacks
1st Loadoa In 1803.
Dueling In England In 1803 was often
a very sanguinary business.
On a Friday morning In March of
that yiar a most extraordinary duel
took place In Hyde park, London, be
tween Lieutenant W. of tbe navy and
Captain J. of the army. The antag
onists arrived at the appointed placa
within a few minutes of each other.
Some dispute arose respecting the dis
tance, which tbe friends of Lieutenant
W. insisted should not exceed six paces,
while tbe seconds of Captain J. urged
strongly tbe rashness of so decisive t
distance and insisted on Its being ex
tended. At length the proposal of Lieutenant
W.'s friends was agreed to, and tbe
parties fired per signal, when Lieuten
ant W. received the snot of his adver
sary on the guard of bis pistol, which
tore away the third and fourth lingers
of his right hand. The seconds then
interfered to no purpose. The son of
Neptune, apparently callous to pain.
wrapped his handkerchief round his
hand and swore he bad another which
never failed him.
Captain J. called his second aside
snd told him it was in vain to urge
reconciliation. t "
They again took their ground.
On Lieutenant W. receiving the pis
tol In his left hand he looked stead
fastly at Captain J. for some time, then
cast his eyes to heaven and said In a
low voice, "Forgive me!"
The parties fired as before, and both
fell. Captain J. received the shot
through the bead and- Instantly ex
pired. Lieutenant W. received the
ball In his left breast and immediately
inquired of his friend If Cuptaln J.'s
wound was mortal. Being answered
in the affirmative, be thanked heaven
he had lived thus long, requested a
mourning ring on his finger might be
given to his sister and that she might
be assured it was the happiest moment
be ever knew. He had scarcely fin
ished the words when a quantity of
blood burst from his wound, and be ex
