INDIANOPOLIS, Nov. 23. Impris- j
onment of Herbert S. Hockin, one of j
the chief defendants, in default of an j
increased bond which was required
by the court "because he had deceived
every one" the denouncing by the
District attorney of a woman writer
in the courtroom as an "anarchist"
and the repudiation by attorneys for
the defense of some of the acts of the
defendants, were among sensational
incidents at the dynamiting conspir
acy trial today.
Hockin was declared to have been
in the employ of detectives soon after
the Los Angeles Times explosion. He
was also accused of having told a wit
ness of overhearing John J. McNam
ara talk to President Lynch, of the
International Typographical Union,
about "an explosion on the Pacific
Coast'.
United States Senator Kern was
among the counsel for the defense
who disavowed an article published
by some of the defendants.
The 45 men accused by the Govern
ment of complicity in the McNamara
dynamite plots by abetting for four
of five years in the illegal transporta
tion of explosives, sat in silence while
the testimony and the action of the
court brought in unexpected changes.
Herbert ,S. Hockin, secretary and
treasurer of the International Asso
ciation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, was taken to jail in default
of his being able to increase the
$10,000 bond to $20,000, ordered by
the court after a witness had said
Hockin was in the employ of a detec
tive and had been since soon after
the Los Angeles Times exp'losion,
"and was not to be trusted day or
. night by anyone".

drank just befory reaching her home.
She died in her mother's arms.

ALBANY, Nov. 23. Oregon Univer
sity "came back'' today and defeated
its old time rival, the Oregon Agricul
tural College in the greatest and most
spectacular game ever played by the
rival institutions. One minute after
the opening of the second half Fen
ton's trusty foot booted the ball
squarely between the uprights and the
one lone score of the day was regis
tered in Engene's favor before 8,000
wildly excited football enthusiasts.
It was a battle royal from start to
finish, but Coach Pinkham's men had
the upper hand throughout the magnif
icent duel, and clearly outplayed their
opponents in every turn of the game,
contrary to all anticipations, for it
was generally conceded that O. A. C.
would defeat ' the State University
team by about two touchdowns. Not
that the Corvallis team didn't play
well and struggle had to defeat their
old time antagonists, for they did put
up an excellent game, but their veter
an line was as one of paper before
the four plunging backs of the Uni
versity machine Cook, Cornell, Walk
er and Parsons. The last named was
the one bright star of the whole game
and his work for the lemon yellow
supporters gives him a fine chance
for all-northwest honors.
The last half of - the game was a
punting duel between Fenton and
Evendon. Oregon maintained a shade
the best of the game all throughout.
Penalties were not uncommon, and
fumbles were few and inexpensive for
either side. -The spectacular work of
Parson, in smashing through, O. A. C.'s
liije and around her ends was a feat
ure that each time sent thrills through
large crowd present. Only once

FINGERUNGS PLANTED
Dairy herds have been improving
in Clackamas County for the past year
to a marked degree, the Jerseys tak
ing the lead, the dairies of the coun
ty being made up almost entirely of
this breed, but the other breeds have
their appearance, the latest addition
is three fine looking young Ayshires,
the animals being purchased by W. A.
Shewman, editor of the Western Stock
Journal of this city. They arrived in
Oregon City Saturday.
There was a great interest taken
in the animals as they were driven
through the city, as they are undoubt
edly the most notable of the breed
named ever arriving in this county.
One, a yearling bull, has won several
first and junior champions, Out of sev
en entries this year, showing at sev
eral of the state fairs on the coast
and Canada, where they competed
with the largest Ayshire herds on the
coast. Two yearling heifers complet
ed the trio, they also being prize win
ners. , '
Mr. Shewman made the purchases
at the Pacific International Dairy
Show ot North Portland, selecting
them out of the W. J. Domes herd of
McCoy, Or.
was the Oregon goal in danger, and
that when Corvallis, by a clever trick
play got within fifteen yards of the
line. Then Oregon braced, held, and
Fenton punted safely and after that
the Corvallis men abandoned all hope,
for with a whirlwind finish the Ore
gonians literally "ate 'em up".
The stage setting for the big game
was ideal.
"Rah, Rah" boys, hundreds of 'em
a whole army of pretty, smiling, co
eds wearing the Corvallis Orange and
the Oregon lemon yellow, innumer
able excited old grads of both insti
tutions, and countless disinterested
citizens, all jammed, crowded, push
ed their way through the gates of
Athletic park Saturday afternoon to
see the game of all games Oregon
vs. O. A. C.
The scramble for seats lasted one
hour, and in that time nine thousand
excited football enthusiasts gathered
coming from all directions. All
morning the visitors flocked into Al
bany, and at 1:45 the first 21-car spec
ial arrived from O. A. C. with shrieking
whistles and deafening rah-rahs.
Hardly had they been seated when
the Oregonians 12 coaches strong,
pulled into the yards and bedlam
broke loose. Rooters from both col
leges, headed by their college bands,
gaudily bedecked in varsity colors and
chanting their songs, serpentined or
"ragged'' from the depot to the re
served sections.
The day could not have been more
ideal for the real good, old dyed-in-the
wool football raw and chilly; with
the field slightly heavy. Despite all
ear-aches, dyspepsia, and other alleg
ed injuries, the players from both col
leges were in prime condition.
Between halves the Oregon rooters
serpentined the field in wild enthus
iasm and later the O. A. C. meen took
the field for a noisy demonstration.
Two novel and original stunts were
pulled off during the intermission.
Oregon fired off thousands of fire
crackers; the Corvallis men turned
loose a dozen pigeons which flew
above the field and then off in every
direction. Both stunts were unique.

The skull was removed by Coroner
Wilson and brought to this city. It
was crushed on the left side.
It was a long and tiresome trip that
Sheriff Mass, Coroner Wilson and As
sessor Jack with the self-confessed
murderer made Saturday. The roads
were in poor condition and seven
miles of the journey were made by
the party afoot. The accused boy was
familiar with the entire neighborhood
in which the crime was committed and
led the authorities to the grave with
out the slightest trouble. It was about
150 yards from the house where the
man was slain. The boy had dragged
the body across a creek and Sheriff
Mass wondered how he had strength
enough to do it.
Arriving at the house Gault led the
Sheriff, Coroner, Assessor and sever
al residents of the neighborhood into
the kitchen. . .
"I killed him in this room", said the
boy. "He tried to kill me with a knife
and I struck him with an ax. I then
dragged the body across the creek
and buried it. Then I dragged logs
on the grave".
The slayer led the paty to the grave
and after the logs were rolled down
the hill it took only a few minutes dig
ging to unearth the body. Owing to
the fact that the party had walked
seven miles Coroner Wilson decided
that only the skull would be necessary
for use at the trial. Upon returning
to the house the slayer regained his
composure and was in good spirits
when he was returned, to the Oregon
City jail. He was soon joined by his
mother, who will do all she can to aid
her son.

county, but it will be inore statisfact

District Attorney Tongue is expected
to approve the contract. V
Mr. Nease will not only furnish" thd
assessor with all the information
necessary to assess timber lands, but
he will determine the quality of the
soil and give other useful imformation'
The work will be finished July 1, 1913
and the contractor will be paid eight
cents an acre. He will be paid each
month 80 per cent of the amount due
and the remainder when the work is
finished.
The contractor has given: the court
a bond of $10,000 to safeguard tim
ber owners in. case his cruise is not
satisfactory. Complaints will be given
careful consideration by another
cruise expert appointed by the court
and if Mr. Neasels work is found to
be incorrect the cost will be taken
from the bond. It it is found to be cor
rect, the complainant must pay the
cost. v
Assessor Jack, after a two years'
study of conditions, has recommended
the cruising system. The Oregon &
California Land Company, which owns
much of the timber land ohe county
refused to pay the last half of the
tax in 1908, which amounts to $15,000
as a result of the inferior methods
of assessing valuations in the past.
Mr. Nease will receive no payment
for his services until March 10 next
and his bond will be in force until af
ter the meeting of the Board of Equal
ization in 1913. There are about 250,
000 acres of timber land in the county.
