THE MOON DESERTED THEM.
Two Banqueting Democrata Hold Mid
night Dialogue.,
The eclipse of the moon waa at its
height and the street was entirely de
serted save for two belated Democrat
ic banqueters who had taken posses
sion of a prominent street corner last
Thursday night.
In a disconnected manner the two
faithful members of the minority party
were carrying on a rambling conver
sation the burden of which consisted
of throughly roasting those who had
In years gone by deserted the ranks
of the Democracy. Hoth of the stal
warts were somewhat the worse for
an Inordinate Indulgence in the Inno
cent appearing punch, which, however,
was extremely deceptive as to its
combination of Ingredients, that was
so generously dispensed at the Demo
cratic banquet held earlier In the even
ing. "Hill must be disowned
and denounced by our great and noblo
party," declared one of the speakers
with difficulty and his companion con
curred in the conclusion with an aud
ible "hie."
"Such men are anything but a cred
lit to any party organization," contin
ued mo tirst speaker, "and it is rignt
that It should be Bald of such that they
have become 'black' Republicans or
something else." ,
"Hie, that Is only too true," Inter
rupted tho listener, "but. hie, there are
so many of them turning black
or some other shade,' hie, that there
are not many of us left."
At this Juncture the last speaker,
elevating his eyes heavenward, ob
served the complete eclipse of the
moon and noted the darkness that en
sued. '
"See," ho exclaimed, "It, even
the moon has turned black and la no

This was too much for tha first

SAGE OF MOLALLA
Wm H. Vaughan, Respected Pioneer
Died Sunday
NATIVE OP TENNESSEE, CROSSED
PLAINS TO OREGON IN '43.
Took Prominent Part In Shaping
Early Growth and Development
of the State.
Wm. II. VaiiKhan. aged 84 years, the
"Rage of Molalla," and one of the old
out and moHt prominent pioneers of
tha state, died of pneumonia at Mai
borne on tho original Vaughan D. L. C.
at Molalla Sunday. "Uncle Wily"
Vaughan, as he . was widely known,
was a native of the state of Tennessee,
The deceased crossed the Plains to
Oregon In 1843, locating at Oregon
City and until the time of his death he
was a continuous resident of Clacka
mas county. In coming to Oregon the
solo purpose of Mr. Vaughan and the
members of his party was to drive the
Hudson Das Company and Its mem-
fbers from Oregon soil. Hut by reason
of tho difficult Journey and scarcity of
food en route, the stock and cattle
with which the Immigrants were trav
eling had been reduced to tho rVilni
mum of numbers for actual require
ment and when tho party reached
what Is now tho Harlow road at Mt.
Hood members of the Hudson Hay
Company voluntarily made an Inter
change of animals, supplying the Im
migrants with well groomed animals,
receiving In lieu thereof the exhausted
horses and cattle which were unfit to
contlnuo and complete the hazardous
Journey. This generous treatment dis
pelled th hostile feeling of the Invad
ing party towards the Hudson Bay
Company, but for whom and the kind
ly services of Dr. McLoughlln the Ten-
nesseean must have starved.
Mr. Vaughn took a prominent and
active part In the early development
and settlement of Oregon. Horn and
bred In tho Democratic faith, he was
an anient supporter of Democratic
principles and was a staunch member
of that party all his life. Mr. Vaughan
was not called Into public aervlce
although he was many times among
those who were unsuccessful In their
candidacy on the minority ticket, be
ing defeated for the legislature at one
time by the narrow margin of two
votes.
Besides a wife there are eleven sur
viving children s follows: Frank W.
Vaughan. of Dig Dend, Washington;
Mrs. N. M. Moody, of Portland: Mra.
M. F. McCown, of Medford; Isom C.
Vaughan; Mrs. Virginia Cutting. S. J.
Vaughan, H. Longstreet Vaughan. Mrs.
Tennessee Frazer, Mrs. Viola Engie,
John C. Vaughan and Wm. H. Vaugh
an, Jr., all of Molalla.
The appended Interesting sketch of
Mr. Vaughan Is taken from a historical
volume published a few years ago and
containing aketchea of many of the
prominent pioneers:
Funeral services were held at 11
o'clock Tuesday morning and were the
most largely attended of any funeral
ever held at Molalla. Prominent pio
neers and citizens from all parts of
the country joined the population of
tho Molalla section to pay a last tri
bute of regcrd to the memory of the
deceased.
The services were simple and im -
pressive. consisting of a few remarks
at the grave-side by Dr. W. E. Carll.
who spoke eloquently of the departed.
Every expressed wish of the deceased,
relative to the details of the burial
services, was compile with, the, body
being wrapped In a white woolen
blanket and placed In the casket sh
though in restful slumber. Those of
ficiating as pall bearers were: E. O.
Caufleld, H. L. Kelly. J. W. Cole. R. B.
Beatie. N. Darnall and P. Gribble. In
terment was made at the Adams' cem
etery. When the grave had been(filled
and the floral decorations arranged,
II. L. Kelly, of this city, said the
Lord's prayer and pronounced the
blessing of peace. All of the surviv
ing eleven children together with the
bereaved widow were present at the
funeral.
William Hatchett Vaughan an
honored Oregon ploner of 1843, now
residing on his donation claim on Mo
allla River, In Clackamas county, is
descended from Sotch-lrish ancestors,
who emigrated to the colony of Vir
ginia at an early period In the history
of America, where they were people
of wealth and influence. His father,
James Vaughan. was born in Virginia,
and was there married to Miss Nancy
Hatchett, also a native of the Old Do
minion, and one of the nine children
of Thomas Hatchett and his wife,
nee Chalfin. The Hatchetts were of
English descent. Mr. Hatchett serv
ed in the late. Colonial army during
the Revolution. He died in the 74th
year of hla ege, and his wife passed
away at the age of 96. After their
marriage Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan re
moved to . Tonnessee and settled In
Rutherford county, where they reared
a family of thirteen children, seven
sons and six daughters. Of this numer
ous family only five are living, three
sons and two daughtors. In 1842 the
family moved to Missouri, where the
parents resided up till the time of
their death.
Wliiara H.', the fifth son in the fam
ily was born in middle Tennessee, Jan
uary 17, 1822. At the age of 16,
through an elder brother, 'and the
Congressman from the district ar
rangements were made for him to
attend the military school at West
Point, but hi father said "No," and
that was a cut deep and wldo, as his
only aMplratlon wan blasted. That
wan the caimo of his croaHing the
Rooky Mountain, lining an expert
rllleman and filled with the aplrit of
adventure, April 20th, 1843, he left his
fathers home, In southwentern Mis
souri, to cross the plains to Oregon.
He was with the first wagon train
that ever came all the way through
to Oregon. They cut their own roads
through the IJlue Mountains, sur
mounting every obstacle that
presented Itself. They came by what
was called the Mechan route. The
way they scaled the steeps, forded
rivers and made their way over the
new country, can never be fully ap
preciated by the uninitiated. They
came by way of Walla Walla and then
down the Columbia River, arriving at
Oregon City about November 10, 1843.
For a time Mr. Vaughan was employed
at fencing and barn building by the
Hudson Hay Company. In May 1844,
he came to his donation claim, 16
miles southeast of Oregon City and
was the first permanent settler In
this part oi the county. Hero, In his
primitive cabin, he kept "bach," for
several years. In building his
house bo made It, as far as possible,
a stronghold against the Indians, with
whom he frequently had trouble. At
,, time ho was attacked by 16 of
them, but by bis dauntless courage bo
succeeded In overawing them and
made a mlracolous escape. In the Kail
of 1847, after the murder of Dr. Whit
man, he volunteered and served in the
Cayuse war under Captain Maxln, iur
nlshlng bis own horse and equipments.
He was in the battle of Umatilla,
which engagement lasted from nine
o'clock in the morning nutll night,
when the Indians withdrew. Mrs,
Vaughan's father was also a partici
pant in this war.
August 27, 1847, Mr. Vaughan mar
ried Miss Susan Mary Office, a native
of Missouri, born March 3, 1833. Her
father, James Office, a native of Ten
nessee, came to Oregon with his fam
ily of seven children In 1845, and
settled on a donation claim, twelve
miles south of Oregon City, where he
resided for a number of years. Her
mother died June 14, 1878, and her
father, now 91 years of age, makes
his home with them. Following are
the names of Mr. and Mrs. Vaugban's
children: Frank White, who Is mar
ried and has eleven children, resides
In the Big Bend county, of Washing
ton, where be Is engaged In the stock
business; Isom C, a farmer In Clack
amas county, is married and has five
children; Nancy Virginia, wife of Oren
Cutting, Clackamas county, has two
children; Mary Tennessee, wife of
George T. Frazler, Clackamas county,
has one child; Viola E, wife of John
Stubbs, has one child and they reside
on the home farm; Stonewall Jackson,
a merchant at Molalla; .Hardy Long
street, a farmer In Clackamas county;
and Susan Florida, John C, Cora K.,
and William Officer, all at borne.
Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan have been
Industrious people all their lives.
They have a fine home and other sub
stantial buildings on their farm, and
their landed estate comprises 9 CO
acres. Both he and bis wife were
reared In the faith of the Baptist de
nomination and for 10 years he served
as clerk of the church. Politically, he
was a Democrat several times he
was nominated for both the legislature
and the senate. His party, however,
was In the minority and be was de
feated. Mr. Vaughan brought with him from
his home in Tennessee a fine old Ken
tucky riflle, and with It, after his ar
rival la Oregon, he distinguished him
self as an expert hunter, being known
far and wide as the "King of Hunters."
For many years he made himself very
useful In killing oft the wolves and
mountain lions that had made havoc
I among his stock and the stock of his
neighbors. His hounds end his mi nil
! were his delight and even yet. at the
i Bge of 84 his choice hounds and his
iriue afford him great pleasure. Mr.
Vaughan brought with him from the
Sunny South home a warmhearted
friendship and a genial hospitality of
the true Southern gentleman. He is
one of the most wldly known and
highly esteemed of that band of brave
men and women who came to Oregon
in 1843.
FATHER GETS PROPERTY BACK.
John Gaffney Recovers Land Deeded
To Sons Through Fraud.
A decree for the plaintiff has been
rendered by Judge McBrlde in the
suit of John Gaffney, Sr., against
Michael Gaffney. Bridget Gaffney and
John Gaffney, Jr., by which the court
directs that the deeds be set aside
by which Mr. Gaffney. Sr.. in 1903
trasferred about 70 acres of valuable
farm land of the estimated value of
$14,000 to the defendants. The decree
further provides that the defendants
Michael and Daniel Gaffney within
sixty days execute and deliver to the
plaintiff a deed of conveyance to the
property according to the spirit of
the decree but in case of their failure
so to do, the decree shall stand as
a muniment of title in lieu of said
deed.
Besides being given Judgment for
his costs and disbursements In the suit
the decree entitles the plaintiff to re
cover from Bridget Gaffney the sum
of $1480 which it was alleged he paid
her through misrepresentation.
Mr. Gaffney, Sr., based his suit to
have the deeds of this property can
celled on the grounds that his two
sons, Michael and Daniel, fradulently
obtained his signature to the deeds
after they had first managed to get
him Into a state of intoxication. The
suit was bitterly contested, the taking
of testimony covering a period of sev
eral days.

MEET TO BANQUET
Clackamas Democrats Hold Bien
nial Love Feast.
GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN AND
OTHER8 MAKE ADDRES8E8.
Some of the Probable Candidates for
Nomination on the Demo
cratlc Ticket
Kven the moon veiled her face last
Thursday night but the Democrats of
Oregon City and Clackamas county
banqueted anyway, unmindful of the
total lunar eclipse under the most
ideal weather conditions.
It was peculiarly appropriate that
this night should have been selected
by the members of the minority party
for the giving of their second bien
nial love-feast. But the Democrats do
not mind an eclipse.. They have been
eclipsed themselves so many times
that a heavenly phenomenon of the
kind In no wise Interests them. And
consequently they congregated at
Willamette Hall, ate, drank, listened
to inspiring addresses -and became ex
ceedingly merry.
The occasion was the second bj en
nlal banquet of the Clackamas County
Democracy. Including a sprinkling of
Republicans who attended the feast
by special invitation to hear the pro
gramme of speechmaking and Inciden
tally to discuss the menu, about 200
persons surrounded the banqueting
board. A seven-piece orchestra, di
rected by ex-Sheriff J. J. Cooke, did
its part towards preserving harmony
tnrougnout the evening.
Interesting, comforting and encour
aging addresses were made by Gover
nor Chamberlain, Chas. V. Galloway,
R.. A. Miller and F. V. Holman, the last
two named speakers being of Port
land. Just what Inspiration prompted
the speakers In painting the brilliant
picture for the Democracy that was
drawn Is not known unless It was the
discovery made during the afternoon
by some of the leaders of the party
In this city that of the 1800 voters
registered to date, 1500 are Republi
cans. But that did not detract from
the worth of the addressess or the
quality of the programme in the least
In fact the Democrats Insist that the
greater the odds the more interesting
10 mem proves toe contest
In addition to the speakers already
named, addresses were made by J. E.
Hedges, of this city; P. A. Cochran, of
Woodburn; and Judge William Foley,
of Portland. The address of welcome
was made by Mayor E. O. Caufleld.
The plates sold for 60 cents each.
and to make sure that no deficit might
exist at the conclusion of the feast
the hat was passed and a "free will"
offerring was received. The menu
waa as follows:

baking powders considered, 'that in most foreign countries their
sale is prohibited. In many States in this country the law com
pels alum powders to be branded to show that they contain
this dangerous acid) while in the District of Columbia, Congress .
has prohibited the sale of all food that contains alum.
Alum baking powders are sold to consumers at -from id

stituted the reception committee, and
the general banquet committee was
l W. B. Stafford, J. A. McGlashan, Harry
liraper, j. k. jack and II. F. Latou
rette. Candidates Not Plentiful
As was the case two years ago there
exists at the present time the custom
ary scarcity of candidates for nomi
nation to the various offices on the
Democratic ticket. Thursday nlght'a
banquet was calculated to be the open
ing gun of the approaching campaign
and it was thought after listening to
the eloquent and inspiring addresses
of Governor Chamberlain and the
other speakers that there might be no
end to the number of candidates that
would be encouraged thereby to enter
the political arena and try their for
tunes for public office. But the inspi
ration seems to have not been suffic
iently deep seated. Interviews with
prominent Democrats of this city dis
closes the fact that aspirants for office
within the ranks of the Democracy
are anything but plentiful.
For State Senator J. E. Hedges is
the only candidate to file notice of his
candidacy. The failure of Mr. Hedges
to agree to vote for the people's choice
for United States Senator is not a
very palatable dose for even Clacka
mas county Democrats to swallow
and there is taik of introducing ano
ther candidate for this nomination
from the Democracy. Friends of Dr.
M. C. Strickland are urging him to be
come a candidate for this nomination.
Timber for the representative ticket
Is equally scarce. W. B. Stafford la
the only probable candidate that haa
been mentioned although J. W. Cole
and C. W. Kelly have announced that
If none of the other members of the
faithful are willing to become martyrs
to the Democratic cause in this rela
tion, they will themselves make the
race.
For County Judge J. J. Cooke has
been the most prominently mentioned
although it Is said O. D. Eby would
like to make the race against the Re
publican nominee.
R. B. Beatie, Chas. Ely and B. L.
Shaw are among the probable candi
dates for Sheriff although the friends
of Beatie are desirous that he should
become a candidate for the nomination
as County Judge.
For the office of County Clerk there
la even more marked disposition
among the members of the minority
party to go to the rear and be seated.
However, H. F. Latourette. a young
attorney, of this city, having a wlde
and popular acquaintance in the coun
ty, may decide to become a candidate
for this office. He Is being urged to
accept the nomination for which there
appears to be no other aspirant and
he has the matter under consideration.
W. Shannon, of Beaver Creek, will
likely be the nominee of the Demo
crats for County Recorder, he having;
already filed his notice with tha Clerk.
