People of District Will Present Situation
Before President Roose
velt '
Iist Saturday the official order was
lasued at Washington directing the re-
i movftl of the Oregon City Lund Office
to 1'ortlund, July 1, next.
While the people of Oregon City have
labored diligently for several weeks to
prevent the consumutlon of the propoaed
removal of the Land Office from this
city to Portland, there la expressed no
surprise In the positive announcement
that the change will be made July 1, next.
It has been expected. Hut, the people of
this city will not submit until the pro
tests that are now being circulated
throughout the district ere called to the
attention of President Iloosevelt, whose
intervention, alone, it l Obvious, will
alter the situation.
In the removal of the Land Office from
this city, the residents of this place gen
erally concede that Oregon City's loss
from a commercial view-point la entire
ly secondary In consideration. This of-
I flee has never been considered a source
of any great revenue In a business way
to the enterprises here located. The
chief worth of this office to Oregon City
lies In the fact that It brings to this
city many new people prospective set
tlers, who are attracted here In quest of
public lands that are open to settlement
Finding desirable lands suitably located
scarce for the reason that the best have
been settled upon, these people Investi
gate the agricultural lands and Invaria
bly find something that suits them and
become residents of the county. In this
way, the Land Office haa become a great
factor In the development and settling of will be
Clackamaa county.
While the prospect of retaining the
Land Office here Is by no means promts
I Ing, the people of this city have not en
tirely despaired yet. Anticipating the
order of removal that has been signed.
a mass meeting of citizens a few weeks
ago named a committee to take steps
to prevent the proposed change In the
location of thla office. This committee
employed IJruce C. Curry, of this city,
him, and this forms the most Important
point at Ihsiib In the appeal. Another as
signment of error was the disqualified;
tln of one of the trial Jurors, but the
Supreme Court sustain the lower court
In all of Its rulings.
In punning upon the question of In
sanity raised by the counsel for the de
fendant, Chief Justice Wolverton holds.
In substance, that a paroxysm of jealousy
or sudden anger or frenzy of temper, pro
voked or superinduced by tho Intelli
gence that the accused had been aban
doned by his mistreat, the object of his
lustful affections, he being otherwise In
possession of his mental faculties unim
paired by disease or unbalanced by her
edity, will not relieve him of criminal re
sponsibility, and the. trial court's ruling
or observations were In accord with thla
understanding of the law.
Upon the question whether the Juror
John Page waa disqualified, the court
finds that the showing made by the af
fidavits pro and con was very evenly bal
anced, and, alnce the lower court, with
a better opportunity to detect Imposition
and discover truth, piAsed upon the proof
the appellate court will not Interfere with
Its legal discretion In the premises.
CONVICTS WORK ON ROADS.
Three Squad Work on Three Road
an Experiment.
By an arrangement between Governor
Chamberlain, Superintendent James of
the penitentiary and County Judge Scott,
forty or fifty convicts will be put to work
on the county road during the first part
of the coming week, says the Salem
Statesman. Governor Chamberlain aug
gested the move and arranged a meet
Ing which resulted In a decision to try
the plan. The convicts, all of whom will
be trusties, will be taken out either Mon
day or Tuesday morning and will be di
vided Into three squads. Each squad
In charge of two experienced
guards. One squad will be put to work
on the Halls Ferry road; another on the
Roeedale, and the third on the Jefferson
road. Arrangement have been made with
the Citizen' Light & Traction Company
to carry the convicts to and from their
work, the companylng agreeing to fur
nlsh enough cars to accommodate the
men for 13 per day. Special car will be
taken to the penitentiary every morning
SHOT BY MARSHAL
ERNEST HICKMAN DELIBERATELY
KILLED IN EASTERN OREGON.
City Marshall Too Free In Ut of Hla
Gun Deceased Was Well
Known Here. ,
Ernest Hickman, son of Mr. John hlck
man of thla city, was shot and killed
at an early hour last Saturday morning
by the town marshall at Prairie City,
Grant County. The following account of
the shooting waa published In the Ore-gonian:
"The Coroner" Jury Monday brought!
In a verdict that K. Hickman met hla
death from a gunshot wound Inflicted
by City Marshall W. H. Lucy. The pre
liminary hearing will be Tuesday, before
Justice of the Peace J. W. Mack.
''The shooting occurred In Wood's sa'
loon at 2 o'clock Saturday morning. Half
dozen men and three OJsreputabito
women were drinking and carousing in
the place. Jim Clarke, a gambler, an eye
witness of the tragedy, give the follow
ing version:
'The crowd in the saloon had several
drinks around, the Marshall treating two
or three times. The three women who
had been singing and dancing, began
quarreling among themselves. Hot words
passed and they threw beer and whisky
In each other's face. I expected there
would be trouble, so I grabbed one of
them and held her, telling her to be
quiet. The woman jerked away from me.
at the same time applying a vile epithet
Them Hickman cut In:
'We'll all take a drink and go home,
he said. ' am going to shut up the place.'
'Marshall Lucy laid hi hand on my
shoulder and said:
'Cut this out; I win allow no such
talk here.'
We were all more or lea drunk.
Hickman came from behind the bar and
shoved the Marshall away, putting hi
hand on hla cheat Lucy staggered and
fell. When he arose he laid hla left
hand on the bartender' right shoulder.
pulled a gun from his overcoat pocket
with his right hand, placed the muzzle of
the weapon on Hickman's right breast
and fired. The bullet went clear through
the man's body and struck a bystander
In the right leg. Hickman cried out:
Tou have shot me, Lucy; let me
go to a doctor.'
I grabbed the gun and struggled for
