A"o Plcv,at Preliminary Searings
Bonds Fixed at $5000.
JEFFERSON, Or., Oct 24. Clycte
YauBTh,n, the would-be murderer of Miss.
l&lu Jones, -was arraigned before Justice
5. x. Johnson at 10 o'clock this morning.
He Trould make no plea, seemingly feign
ing insanity. His father. Ell Vaughn,
waived examination for him, and the Jus
tice flxed his bonds at $5000.
.Not being ab.le to furnish this amount,
tie was taken to Salem and placed in the
county jail. As stated in today's Ore
gpnlan, he made a full .confession last
evening, admitting the crime, but assign
ing no motive, saying that he. did, not
know why he had committed the fiendish
act. There is no doubt that the grounds
lor the defense will be insanity.
The feeling here Is Tery bitter against
"Vaughn, and no credence whatever is
gven, to the report that he s Insane.
The victim of Vaughn's -unreasonable
jealousy lies in a semiconscious condi
tion, but the attending physician has no
.hope of her recovery.

subject to insane spells. Dr. Byrd wilt
not at this time express an opinion as
to the boy's sanity, but say that If he

eral communities in amounts ranging

ed that larger sums have been acccptea
by merchants of the town.
The fact that the men who have passeo,
the spurious coin came through the settle
tnents on the Barlow road, with certain

DAWSON CITY CONDITIONS.
Thriving Metropolitan: Town in
Place of Mining Village.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, An interest
ing 'report upon tlie conditions in Daw
son City and the Yukon district of, Alas
ka has been furnished to the State" De
partment by United States Co"nsu,l Mc
Cook. "Dawson today," he says, "presents a
marked contrast to the Dawson of 1898.
Then no one, except possibly the Judges
on the bench, wore a whlte shirt The
towri was thronged with miners, pack
on back, prospecting for gold. The streets
were veritable mudholes. Now people
dress much as they do In the 'cities' of,
the United States. A man" with a pack
on his back is an unusual sight, md one
can ' walk the town over with polished,
shoes and not have them soiled."
Dawson City does not appear like a
mining town, states Consul McCook,but
rather a thriving commercial center. It
Is crowded just now, for more come in
than go out Electric railways are prom
ised by 1901, and public schools have
been opened and are well attended.
The government at Ottawa, it Is report--ed,
will offer for sale at public auction
in Dawson every claim th'at has revert
ed to it by lapse or otherwise.' and 30
days after the time of sale all claimB
not sold will be declared open for loca
tion. The output of gold has been increasing,
says the Consul, in spite of the fact that
the average values of the gravels worked
have been, steadily declining, the richest
mines having been worked first But
moantjme the cost of working has de
creased, and enables properties to be
profitably worked" now that would not
have yielded gains two years ago. There
should be a continued output of from $15,
000,000 to $20,000,000 worth of gold annually
for many years to come, according to
Consul McCook, if the expenses of work
ing "are further reduced.
Valuable placer claims are reported to
have been located In the Stewart "River
mining district about 100 miles from
Dawson, and a stampede has followed to
the scene of the finds. "
OVERDUE NOME STEAMER SAFE.

says: - T " t
The steam schooner San Pedro,' arriv

While, the San Pedro, was .at anchor
here there was a stabbing affray Voaxd,
In which a man whose name could -no"tr be

"Another "View of Resrlstra.tion La,w.
Attorney-General Blackburn' expresses
the opinion that'a. man who has registered
in one county may-vote in another with
out securing the afQdayitgof six freehold'
ers, as providedbythe registration law.
This, he thinks, could, be accomplished
by securing evidence of his registration
under1 the general laws of the -state pro
viding for the proof of public writings.
Section 745 "of Hill's code provides that
"entries m-pubHc or other-official books
or irecords, inade- In the. performance qt
his duty by a public officer of this state,
or of'j;he" United States, or by another
perst,n'tn the performance of a duty spe
cially enjoined by the law of either, are
primary .evidence ot the facts stated
therein." ' Section, 743 provides that pub
lic documents of the class under consid
eration may be proven by a copy certified
by the legal keeper thereof.. -It Is Judge
Blackburn's" opinion that if a voter pro
vides himself with a certified copy of his
.registration, he may use this as evidence
of his- right toJ vote in the state. The
opinion expressed by Judge Blackburn Is
not official, but was given ott-Jhand in re
sponse to "Inquiries.

will be a total loss.
