Attempt Will Alo Be Made to Prove
That Tom Consldlne Had A ,
Revolver.
&XTEL&i Wasb. Nov: 5-srhentailns J
of testimony in the trial or Jonn w. -"-idlne,
on the charge of murdering "Will
iaai L. Meredith, ex-Chief of Police, began
thlSTnornlng shortly before noon. Yrese
outlng Attorney Fulton, In his preliminary
Address to the Jury, outlined the case
which the state will attempt to maktt
The state expects to prove that Tom
Consldlne, brother of John Consldlne, was
armed on the afternoon of the shooting,
and that a. moment or two before John
shot Meredith, he (Tom) handed his own
revolver to some one when he wrenched
Meredith's revolver from the Matter's
hands It has been alleged heretofore
that Tom was not armed. The 3tate will
lso attempt to prove that the Consldlnes
spent the day of the shooting In looking
for Meredith, and that half an hour before
the shooting a man had been heard to re
mark to John ConBldine: "Be careful now
you don't make a botch of it," and Con-
sldme had replied that he was au pre
pared. The state has many witnesses who will
swear that a sixth shot was fired, or, in
other words, that before Meredith dis
charged his shotgun at John Consldlne,
some one had fired a revolver shot The
state will undoubtedly attempt to show
that this first revolver shot was fired by
Tom Consldlne. and that It was this which
led to the attack upon John Consldlne by
Meredith. Only one witness on the stand
for the state today gave testimony of Im
portance. L. D. TJpdyke swore to having
seen an employe of Consldlne's theater
run from the corner of Guy's drug store
to the middle of the Btreet a minute after
the firing of the first shot. This man
gave a signal, and Immediately afterward
a man was seen to come out of Consldlne's
thoater and hurry toward the scene, of
the shooting.
The rest of the testimony today was
presented in an effort to prove that Con
sldlne bad made many threats that he
'Swoulfi get Meredith." In Its cross
examination, the defense attempted to
show that by this statement Consldlne
meant that he would have Meredith re
jnoved from the office of Chief ot Police.
The caBe of the defense will be purely
on th grounds of self-defense. Consldlne
says that perjured evidence alone can con
vict him, and Tom Consldlne says he will
not be surprised to see the court take the
case from the jury. Prom the progress
alread made in the trial, it is believed
the case will be given to the jury next
week. The state has 64 witnesses, and will
have nil of Its testimony in this week. The
defence has about 130 witnesses, but w.il
probably 'not use them all.
HANGED HIMSELF IK JAIL,
Wan Sentenced to Be Hanged for the
Murder of a Farmer.
GOLDENDALE. Wash., Nov. 6. George
Farris, the murderer of William Worrell,
who was convicted and sentenced to be
hanged about two months ago, committed
suicide in the Goldendale Jail, where he
awaited execution, some time last night
He cut an artery with a piece of broken
glass.
Ferrlss shot Worrell upon the latterfs
ranch, about 12 miles from here, March
12. Worrell at the time was plowing
with a team of four horses In a field
about a mile from his residence. As he
did not return to hH home in the evening,
a search -was instituted, and his body
was found In the afternoon of the 13th.
It had been dragged to the point where
found, a distance of some 40 rods. A rope
had been fastened around the feet and
the horses with which the deceased was
plowing, hitched to the rope, and the
body was thus drawn to the place where
found. There were 13 bullet holes in the
body caused by at least five shots, two of
the shots having been fired while the
deceased was in a prostrate position.
About 9 o'clock on the morning of the
homicide the defendant with the four
horses which the deceased had been driv
ing to the plow, and riding a white sad
dle horse, stopped at v. farmer's in the
vicinity, ate lunch and fed his horses and
then left for his home In Goldendale. He
arrived In Goldendale about 2 o'clock the
next morning and left almost Immediately
for the mountains, where he remained un
til the .morning of the 14th, when he sur
rendered himself Co a Deputy Sheriff.
Upon the trial, which lasted several
days, the defendant was placed on the
stand in hla own behalf and admitted the
homicide substantially as shown by the
Ystate, but alleged self-defense. Ho alleged
that the deceased and he and a brother-in-law
of the deceased had some contro
versy ovor the possession of property
leased by defendant to the deceased and
his brother-in-law, and that he went to
settle this controversy. Fearing some
difficulty might arise, he armed himself
with a Winchester rifle and a loaded re
volver. He left the rifle at a fence a
6hort distance from where the- deceased
was plowing and went to the latter and
engaged in conversation Worrell refused
to accept the terms of settlement proposed
by Farris, and used some offensive lan
guage. Defendant then attempted to take
the horses, which were hitched to the
plow, the horses being in the possession
of Worrell under some agreement which
the defendant claimed the deceased had
repudiated Worrell then attacked de
fendant with a. whlpstock and pursued
him until he reached the place where the
gun had been left The defendant testi
fied that he then seized the gun and
Wiled Worrell, but being under great fear
and excitement at the time, could not
detail the circumstances of the killing or
the number of shots fired. There were no
witnesses to the homicide.

ing notice, by resolutions, on the Goss
Construction Company, that if would be
granted no concessions in the way of an
extension of time, or the furnishing of
new plans, as requested by the company
In a, communication filed ..with the board.
It Is generally understood that the com
pany has made no effort to order the
necessary Iron for the new Capitol build
lng, and that. It hoped to have the comi
mission order the substitution of wood
rather than delay the work. The con
tractor alleges that the plans and specifi
cations furnished by the architect are
.faulty, but to this complaint the com
mission will give no heed. Mr. Goss will
say nothing as to Ms plans, but it is
hinted that serious delay may ensue in
the construction of the building. The
contractor is under heavy bonds to com
plete the annex by October, 1, 0902, and
the members of the commission will In
sist that work be not delayed unreason
ably long.

was Identified, however, by a lbcal mer
chant as having been stolen from his
store. The man was, taken before Jus

ASHLAND, Or., Nov. 6. Messrs. W. H.
Hamilton, s. McVey, L. F. Cooper and
G. B. Adams, owners of the McKay Cop
per mine at the head of Joe Creek, a
tributary of Elliott Creek, in the Eiskiyous,
near the state boundary line, have bond
ed the property for $200,000 to Captain de
la Alar, the multi-millionaire copper mag
nate. Ten thousand dollars of the amount
is to be paid November 10. This property
IS situated in the nowly-dfocovered cop
per district in this section that is at
tracting so much attention at the present
time. It was first discovered three years
ago, and during the past few months
an immense deposit of copper ore was
uncovered on the property. Experts say
the locality is as rich in copper as the
Iron Mountain Copper mine in Shasta
Countly. The natural outlet for the sec
tion Is Jackson and Josephine Counties.
At tho present time California interests
are agitating the building of roads to
these mines, In order to control the pros

MINB IN NEW HANDS.
Colorado Capitalists "Bur the "Whlta
her Group.
BAKER CITY, Nov. 6. Another big
deal has just been closed in the mlnlni
district oast of Baiter City. The prop
erty purchased is the Whitaker group,
and the price paid was 20,000. The pur
chasers are Colorado capitalists. The
president of the company, the Single
Standard. Gold Mining & Milling Company,
is Captain E. StorerTice, of Denver,
who Is now in the city. He has also been
elected general manager. Other officers
ot the corporation are: Vice-President,
Frank L. Whitaker, one of the original
owners Of the property; secretary and
treasurer, Max Baroch, of Denver.
General Manager Tlce Is a mining en
gineer of long- experience, having spent
years In tho mines of Colorado. He also
has an excellent military record. He
perved with President Roosevelt befpre
Santiago, and later with General Lawton
In the Philippine.
The Whitaker group comprises five full
mining claims situated on Paddy Creek, 43
rallea northeast of Baker City on thejaain
Cornucopia road. The property has been
developed by about 1000 feet of tunnel and.
shaft work, showing an ore vein 18 to 43
Inches in width, which carries average
values of ?10 to the toil. A two years' rfln
of ore for a 10-stamp mill is now blocked
Out in the mine. It Is the purpose of the
company to at once erect a mill and con
centrators on the property, with all neqea-
sary buildings. The company acquired
with the property valuable water Rights,
which give 600 InOhes of water and suffi
cient horsepower to run a largo electric
plant, which will be tho power used for
all purposes, about the mine.
Captain Tlce la the owner tdt the North
west of a newly patented stamp mill and
concentrator, which, In his opinion will
revolutionize .mining in this camp- and
open the country as it never has been bo
fore. It Is 'the machinery With which the
Whitaker is to bo equlped at once, and
after It has bee tried others cn have
the benefit Of the result's. As far as the
machinery is concerned, It has been test
ed thoroughly in Colorado, It Is peculiar
ly adapted to the saving of fine gold from
quartz that it Is- almost Impossible to treat
by present methods, and much of tho
gpld In this conntry is-flno.

"wo said Judge Noyes would do as he
pleased about them" replied the wit

"It Is a crime to experiment with the health of the people," says Dr J.
Henri Kessler, manager of the Old St. Louis Dispensary at Portland. "If
I did not know positively and abso lutely that my new home treatment
will cure all diseases of men, even when all other methods of treatment
fall I would consider 1 was committing a crime to make sueha statement
to the public. Nothing is so precious to a man as his health nothing so
horrible as an Insane Asylum or the grave. Little ills, if not promptly
cured, often result In obstinate chronic diseases. I know that my new dis
covery Is the "most marvelous treatment ever known, and I intend to give
Its benefit to the world. I intend that every man. woman and child who
comes for treatment shall have It I propose, to tell the sick, absolut$y
free of charge. If they may be restored to perfect health. I would ratqer
be a benefactor to the sick -man than to have the wealth of Croseus."
The abo'vo are remarkable words, but those who know Dr. Kesvler, aid
have tried his treatment, can vouch for their absolute truthfulness.
He restores the wasted power of sexual manhood.
He also cures to fltny cured VARICOCELE. STRICTURE. SYPHILTlt
