a "Vcur Ago.
NORTH TAXISIA, TVasn.. Slay 4 John
Cleman. a -wealthy sbeepowner of Wenas
Valley, and Fred Brooker, proprietor of
the Fashion barn here, -were he!d up and
robbed on a freight train about 15 miles
west of town last night. They -were then
forced at the point of a gun to Jump from
the moving- train. A shot -was tired -whicn
left a mark on the side- of Brooker's head.
In getting off of the train Cleman -was
severely, though not dangerously hurt.
The thieves took 51K0 and some checks
from Hrooker, and ?lf and a watch from
Cleman. before forcing them off of the
train.
Cleman and Brooker -were passengers
from Ellensburg. but on account of the
discomfort of riding In a- caboose had
one forward and -were sitting on top of
X. car of lumber when approached by four
robbers. The night being dark the rob
bers "were able to conduct their opera
tions -without danger of Interference from
the train crew.
At a later hour, 30 miles, belo-w -where the
.hold-up of Cleman and Brooker occurred,
three tramps were attacked on the same
train by six men. They -were roughly
handled, and finally thrown from the
train. JU1 three were brought to,town this
morning, and are now In the hospital.
They are not dangerously hurt. One of
them nv as robbed of $i5
The robbery of Cleman and Brooker
trecalls a similar crime at the same place
fibout a. year ago, and the description of
the robbers is much the same.
Fred Brooker tells tho following atory
of the hold-up:
'pieman and I were sitting on top of
a. pile of heavy timber loaded on two
flat cars. "When the train slowed down
at Umtanum Creek two men got on the
tratHL They climbed up on the top of the
lumber and talked with us for a few min
utes. XJne sat down by Cleman. The
other, a large, smooth-faced man, pulled
a. gun and said: We want what ou fel
loe s hae got. hold up your hands The
rmsller man then went through Cleman,
and afterwards took my money. I had
5300 of notes with the money. "When 1
protested that these were of no -ralue to
the thieves they gave them back.
"Having -robbed us they tied handker
chiefs around our faces. They stood
around and seemed at a loss to decide
what to do with us. One of them fired
Siis revolver once or twice to intimidate
us. Finally it. occurred to them to com
pel us to get off. We were running down
through a rocky canyon at a pretty good
speed, and the suggestion that we get oft
alarmed us more than the robbery. Cle
man "was ordered off first. He jumped
from the top of the flat car on the threat
that he would be shot. He was badly
hurt whn he felL I got off the- lumber
and caught hold of the steps of a box
car next to our car. The big man fol
lowed me down with his gun. I parleyed
with him, and told him I would get oft
when the train slowed up, as a jump then
meant almost certain death. 'Jump,' he
said, "or I'll certainly kill you. As ho
said that he either hred at me or struck
me on the side of the head, and fired at
the same time. I felt the bullet or the
blow and dropped. I was not hurt by the
fall. I went back and found Cleman. He
had cut himself on the recks, and was
'b.eedlng profusely. "We -walked nine miles
to Bosea station, woke up the operator
and telegraphed the sheriff at North
Taklma."
2s'o clue to the robbers is obtainable.
The descriptions gien by the victims are
Vague. Sheriff Tucker was not notified
until the. train had passed here, and the
robbers had plenty of time to escape be
fore he could make any effort to appre
hend them.
HOFBR ACCEPTED 3k03IIXATIOX.
But Professor Jors , the Votc-Gettcr,
Declines to Run.
SALE1L Jlay 4 Late tonight E. Hpfer,
one of the Democratic-Citizens nominees
for the legislature, filed his certificate
of nomination and acceptance with the
County Cleric This is the last day for fil
ing nominations. The vacancies on the
fusion ticket are two places on the leg
islative ticket. Assessor. School Superin
tendent and Coroner. These maj be filled
bj petition.
The hardest blow the fusion ticket has
et received was the refusal tonight of
John W. Jory to accept the -nomination lor
the Legislature Jory was the choice of
the Populists, and was considered the best
vote-getter among the Legislative nomi
nees. When seen this evening, ilr. Jory
said that he had eeeral reasons for de
clln'ng to run for the Legislature on the
nominations terdered him. In the first
place, the Populists of his -precinct de
clared unan!mouclj against fusion with
the Democrats, and to be consistent wiih
his Instructions he could not accept a nom
ination on the ticket made up. While the
ticket is called "Citizens," Mr. Jory said
be could not see that it Is anj thing more
or less than a fusion. A second reason
for declining to run was that he favored
a genuine citizens movement, and, since
this had not been accomplished, he
thought the ticket lacked the prestige it
should hive. Again, Mr. Jory said that
if he accepted the nomination at alL It
would be for the purpose of working main
ly for the in tiativ e and referendum. As
some of the Republican candidates nave
expressed themselves as favorable io that
amendment to the Constitution, he felt
that he would be, in a measure, working
against the initiative and referendum if
he should oppose those Republican candi
dates who favor the principle.

ceptances attached, were filed la the of
fice of the Secretary of State today. One

state reputation appear in the list.

TOUGHS TOOK THE TOWN.
Residents Cot ToereOier, nowever,
and Stjuclchcd the Insurrection.
PENDLETON, Or., May 4.-J. R. Means,
of Umatilla, gives a. detailed story of tho
fracas at Umatilla Tuesday night, in
which a .gang of traveling toughs took pos
session of the town for a time. Mr. Means
is in business there, and brought the lead
er of the gang. Ed Clayton, to Pendleton,
turnins him over to the Sheriff.
Mr. Means states that, at about 9 o'clock
Tuesday night, a number of men, rather
lough In appearance, appeared 03 the
streets ox. Umatilla nd defiantly nxo-
claimed that for the night they would run
the place. They were net armed with
pistols, but carried knives, razors, clubs
and stones, and the number Is variously
estimated up to 20. They tried to hold up
several of the citizens, and appeared in
force before the Condon Hotel, into the
windows of which they threw stones, strik
ing a unmber of persons.
This had gone on for some little thus,
when a number of the men of Umatilla
procured rifles and pistols, gathered at
one of tho places of business, and deter
mined to clean out the gang of Invaders,
shedding all the blood Tiecessary. Blood
shed was averted, however, by the cooler
heads, who advised simply taking the lead
er in custody, and obtained authority from
the Sheriff so to do.

ARE NOT YET SATISFIED
FOREST GROVE PEOPLE THINK
CORONER'S JUR" SHIRKED.
Hurried to Render Verdict as to
Mrs. Hatch's Death Before Avail
able Evidence "Was In.
FOREST GROVE, Or., May 4. While
few, if any, here believe that S. W.
Fletcher is guilty of tne murder of Mrs.
Anna C. Hatch, there are many who
think he knows all about it. These con
tend that tho Coroner's jury should bav
probed deeper into the case. There is a
feeling here that Fletcher and his attor
ney were too close to the Jury, while the
general public was shut out. No one likes
the idea, of the star-chamber sessions held
by the Coroner. True, he asserts tha,t It
was left to & vote of the jury whether
members of the press and the publje
should be excluded or not, and the jury
v oted for exclusion. But it is a fact that
tho jury was one which the Coroner could
have Induced to vote either way. One
member of it was a close personal friend
of his. Another was his nephew, while
most of the others were men the Coroner
would have found easily persuaded.
Little inquiry was made concerning the
letters that passed between Mrs. Hatch
and Fletcher.
Mrs. Hatch's son had taken all the let
ters found to his home at McCoy. At tho
suggestion of one of the jurors, the son
was sent after them For some reason
the jury got in a hurry Wednesday and
rendered the verdict a few hours before
the son returned with the letters, notwith
standing they were expecting him that
afternoon.
So far as is known, no effort was made
to find the woman's missing rings, which
all of her intimate friends and her chil
dren say she wore.
The bed clothing and garments worn by
the woman were not examined. The worn-
an who washed them declares that they
smelled of chloroform, though she did not
make this fact known until after the jury
had adjourned.
No examination was made of the condi
tion of the dead woman's throat or lungs;
nor was the contents of the stomach ana
lyzed. It is said that at least one of the
physicians at first believed that death re.
suited from some anesthetic This was
before the autopsy "was held. Not all of
the physicians wero ure that the heart
was sufficiently afflicted to cause death.
With these and other facts unearthed,
many are ready to censure the jury, both
for its star-chamber methods and Jts ap
parent lack of interest.
One of the Jurors was firmly convinced
that the woman died before Fletcher left
the room. The others seem to nave only
been able to look upon tho prompt return
and open story told by Fletcher.
There Is abundant evidence that the
worran had. at one time expected to mar
ry Fletcher, but of late her hopes in this
direction seemed to have diminished some
what. Her oldest son objected, it is said.
to her receiving attention from Fletcher
on tho ground that he was immoral, and
had a bad temper. Last Fall the son
asked Mrs. Hatch if she was engaged to
Fletcher. She at first hesitated and then
answered that she was not. All of theso
facts could have been brought out by the
jury. Why they were not no one here
appears to know, but many would like to
know.
It Is now reported that Miss Maud
Sparks called at the home of Mrs. Hatch
Thursday evening, the night of her mys
terious death, and tried io sell her a tick
et to a lecture at the Christian Church
that night. Mrs. Hatch told Miss Spark
that she would willingly purchase the
ticket, but was feeling too tired and 111
to attend.
Mrs. Hatch's most intimate friends are
worrying, and a good deal of comment is
being indulged in as to what became ot
the dead woman's rings. They soem to
think that the rings might figure promi
nently in the case If they could be found.
Her friends do not remember ever having
seen her without them.
Frank "Waters, of Forest Grove, has
been appointed administrator of the estate
of Mrs. Anna C. Hatch, deceased. His
bonds are $2000.
TO 3IEET OREGON SHEEPMEN.
Superintendent Ormsby to Make
Grnrlupr Arrangements at Dalles.
SALEM, May 4. -Superintendent S. B.
Ormsby, of the Cascade forest reserve,
will meet the Eastern Oregon sheepmen
at 10 o'clock May 25 m the office of the
Chamber of Commerce at The Dalles.
The purpose of this meeting is to appor
tion the grazing range among the sheep
owners. The date for this meeting has
been changed twice and was set for
May 26 in accordance with a dispatch re
celved this'afternoon from Fred W. Wil
son, of The Dalles, who Is Secretary of
tho Oregon Wool Growers' Association,
The object of bating a meeting of the
sheepmen instead of letting each one
send in his application for grazing per
mit separately, is that it will facilitate
the work. It is Superintendent Ormsbv's
experience that few of the applications
will be prepared In proper form, and that
they must be returned for correction,
causing" great delay. Even applications
prepared by lawj ers are sometimes found
defective when only blanks are required
to be filled.
The sheepmen who do not attend the
meeting on May 25 will still have an op
portunity to apply for grazing privileges,
but they will avoli a probability of de
lay in getting their permits if they are
present. The contention upon which the attor
ney for Mark Savage expects to secure
a portion of Minto. Island by purchase
from tho State Land Board is regarded
as a rather novel one. although it is
claimed -the law under which the con
tention Is made Is as old as Blacks tone.
Minto Island Is situated In sections 27 and
2S. The accretions extend across part
of these sections, and into sections 21
and 22. That portion of the bar in section
22 is all that Mr. Savage is asking for.
His claim Is that the owner of land may
acquire title by accretion up to the sec
tion line, but that as soon as the bar ex
tends across the line, the right ceases to
follow the accretion.
The tract which Mr. Savage seeks to
purchase does not include the land on
which the Salem Water Company's filter
is located, and Is valuable chiefly for tha
grav el and future accretions that may ba
made.

FATTENS EASTERN OYSTERS.
Novel and Profitable Enterprise of
an OyBtervIHc- 3Ian.
SOUTH BEND, TVash.. May 4. Mr.
Wdchsmuth expects , another carload of
Eastern oyster seed for his beds near
Oysterville. With him the raising of East
ern oysters is no experiment, as he is the
pioneer In the business on the North Pa
cific coast He has had fully matured
Eastern oysters to ship for two years
pastt and each, jffczr hoc increased his
Importation of Eastern oystar seed. He
has-never succeeded in propagating them
here, but depends entirely upon the
growth of the oysters he plants for his
profits. The demand greatly exceeds the
supply.
Connty "Wins "With Conditions.
The warmly contested, suit over the old
courthouse in the former county seat of
Oysterville was decided today in favor
of the county by Judge Elliott. He, how
ever, decided also that the county could
not sell it, as the original deed conveying
the"site to the county specified thai- It
should be used "for county purposes only.rt
This the claimant, R. H. Espy, of Oyster
ville, contended meant that Jt should re
vert to the original owner or his succes
sor, Mr. Espy, as soon as it was aban
doned and a. new courthouse built at South
Bend. He also- contended that he had had
peaceable possession for seven years,
which should give him title. Judge Elliott
ruled that the statute to which he ap
pealed did not apply to such cases. An
attempt was made to substitute a second
deed, which was filed by the original own
cr of the site a few months after the first
deed, in which was the clause distinctly
forfeiting the property t8 him should it
cease to be used for county purposes, but
A. S. Bush, who was County Commis
sioner in 1S74, when the deed was filed,
testified that this second deed was never
recognized by the Board of Commissioners.
The county was awarded $30 damages for
the portion of the old courthouse'whlch
had been mov ed off the site. Major Espy
Is understood to be willing to pay 575 for
the county's tjtle. but the Comrnlsisoners
are holding for $130.

" Mr. S., American, 47 years old, four months
ago consulted me. I advised that his bladder be
explored, for foreign body, which. I was sure was
jrescnt. On entering the bladder I encountered a
arge moss, which from the characteristic
click, I decided was a stone. It was some
thing immense, and larger than anything that
I have ever known of. I prescribed
ftiSHffllgm&SiMSSL. affubrlt
times a day, and a good liberal diet, together w ith
tonics. In three davs he called me, and showing
me the vessel whiijh he had used during the night,
asked me if the debris was not disintegrated,
stone. I uas amazed io see the quanttiy of brick
dust, or rather iron-rust, looking deposit zdftich
was present. The material kept coming away,
and sometimes large particles came from time to
time. After all were passed, which took three
and one half months, the largest particles which
were saved WEIGHED TWO OUNCES AND
TWENTY-SEVEN GRAINS. To-day I passed
a sound into his bladder and found it entirelv
fee."
