BOYS .CHANGED WITH ROBBERY
"Dn of Them Is Expected to Make a
Confession Coin Wat. Stolen Some
Time Ago A Case of Mur
der Will Out.
SALEM, Or., July 24. (Special.)-Detective
Sam Simmons, of Portland, and Rev.
R. "E. Dunlap, of Canby, have run down
and caused the arrest of threo young
tnen, chaTged "with unearthing and stealing
S2S00 in gold, buried by the owner. Mrs.
S. D. Swing, a widow, of Hubbard, near
here. The young men arrested are Clyde
und Roy Ramsby. aged 22 and 21, respect
ively, of Sllverton, and Barrett F. Purdy,
Eged 22, of Kingston, and they were ap
prehended and placed in Jail today await
ing a hearing. The story of the theft 16
that Mrs. Ewing, an aged lady, had ?3SO0
n gold, buried Jn. a pail in her woodshed,
end during fcer absence from home, eight
(months ago, the money waa 6tolen. De
fective Simmons was engaged to run down
'the culprits, and he worked on five case
Sor months, finally securing a clew from a
SSormer" sweetheart of one of the young
fcnen to whom her lover had confided the
teecret of his suddently acquired wealth,
end had shown the pall in which the
money was found. Roy Ramsby, one of
the young men, soon after they are said
to have secured the money, went to San
CFrancisco, and thence to Alaska. He was
guardian of the funds for the trio, and on
his return had none left, reporting to his
fcriends that he had spent the money.
The pall In which the money was buried,
ind which was taken away, has been pro
duced, and Mrs. Ewing Identifies the re
VceptacTe as her own. The Ramsby boys
We grandsons of Hon. R. C. Ramsby, of
EUr-erton, a highly respected citizen, and
JPurdy 4s a nephew of Mrs." Ewlngs de
ceased husband- It was through the lat
ter that the gold was located in the wood
shed by the trio.
Clyde Ramsby Is disposed to mako a
fclean breast of the whole matter, and
when the case comes up for a preliminary
hearing, probably Tuesday, In Judge Hor
Ean's court, is expected to make a con-,
feeslon.
Deputy District Attorney Hart, Detect-
Ive Simmons and Rev. Mr. Dunlap had
ong-interviews with several witnesses to
hlght, and think they have a complete
chain of evidence. It seems that the dis
covery of the alleged guilty parties was
a ease of "murder will out." When Mts.
Ewlngi learned of her loss, she reported
the matter to her pastor. Rev. Mr. Dunlap,
md he advised her to keep It a secret She
did so, and after a few weeks, the story
leaked out through the persons who are
charged with taking the money. The pros
ecution expects to produce a number of
witnesses to whom one or another of the
bpys told of the robbery before and after
Its commission.
The matter has been a subject for gen
eral discussion In a quiet way around Sll
verton for some time. Mrs. Ewing Is 61
years old, and after the loss of her money
has but little means of support. Even
though the boys should be proven guilty,
she could recover little. If any, of the
money. From statements made by the
boys, and near relatives, to the detective.
It Is learned that they will produce evi
dence to show that they were not in the
vicinity of Hubbard at the time the money
was taken.
SENTENCED TO GALLOWS.
Grant's Pnss Man "Who Killed
Hfepbevr Will Move for Xetr Trial.
GRANT'S PASS, July 24. (Special.)
Judge Hanna today sentenced Jefferson
Gibson to be hanged on Friday, Septem
ber 19. for the murder of his nephew,
John Shonbacheler, on April 13. Gibson
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree last Saturday. His attorneys will
appeal to the Supreme Court on the
grounds that the verdict rendered and the
sentence imposed are too severe. Gibson
was convicted mainly on his own evidence.
Shonbacheler was armed with a muzzle
loading, single-barreled shotgun, charged
with bird shot and a small load of powder.
Gibson alleged that Shonbacheler leveled
his gun at him, but the evidence Intro
duced was Jn opposition to this assertion.
Gibson said on the witness-stand: "I
thought when I left home that I would
have to kill him." "When asked why he
fired the second shot, he said: "I fired the
second hot because I thought I did not
klll,hlm with the first." The later state
ment went greatly against Gibson in his
trial.
. John Xavler was sentenced to serve nine
years In the State Penitentiary for the
abduction of Lena Smith, a 14-year-old
girl of this city. Xavler was an employe
or the Grant's Pass Steam Laundry. The
llttlp girl was the ward of John Thaker,
proprietor of the laundry. About two
weks ago Xavler enticed the girl from
her guardian and put her on the train for
Portland, Intending to follow later him
self. Thaker ascertained what had hap.
penod, and had the police hold the girl
until he arrived. Xavler was bound over

In conclusion the committee Indicates
briefly three results to he attained by
the young people's movement: The dis
covery and application of latent forces In
the church, the self-culture of .Its mem
bers and the rallying and organizing of
the soldiers of the cross.

WILL FORM GRAIN POOL
MARIOX COUNTY FARMERS "WILL
CONTROL 100,000 BUSHELS.
Made Bier Money by Uniting; Last
Yeor'and Will "Now Effect Per
manent Organisation.
SALEM, July 24.-(Speclal.)-W. H.
Downing, a prominent Waldo Hills farm
er, says that he and his neighbors will
hold a meeting next Saturday evening
for 'the purpose of organizing a grain
pool, similar to that which proved so suc
cessful in 1900 and 190h Nearly all the
farmers of the Rocky Point neighbor
hood will go Into the pool, and It Is ex
pected tho organization will handle 100,000
bushels of oats and 60,000 bushels of
wheat.
The farmers of that vicinity received
4 to C cents per bushel more for their
grain in 1900 and 1901 than did their
neighbors who sold their grain independ
ently. The plan of the union was to
form the pool and then call for bids for
the entlro lot- Grain buyers could afford
to pay a little moro for one large lot
than for several small lots, making In
the aggregate the same quantity, and the
farmers profited by this. The organiza
tion formed in the yearo mentioned was
only temporary and consisted only of the
appointment of a sales committee to re
ceive bids and close a deal. This year a
permanent organization will bo effected
upon the Joint stock company or corpo
ration plan. Speculation or manipulation
of any kind does not enter Into the pur
poses of the union, but the sole object Is-
to get the highest market price under the
most favorable conditions.
STATE WILL LEASE THE LAND.
Decision Affecting; Tract .Near Wood
burn Worth Nearly $5000.
OREGON CITY, July 24. (Special.)
By a decision of Assistant Commissioner
Richards, of the General Land Office,
received here today, 117 acres of land
are lost to the State of Oregon, after
having been selected as school Indemnity
land. The land Is situated two miles
cast of Woodburn, and was filed on as a
donation claim May 20, 1654, by Stephen
Deshautel. who made llnal proof Decem
ber 1, 1S07, but for some unknown reason
neither a final certificate or patent was
Issued to him. On May 30, 1501. the State
of Oregon selected "the tract as school
Indemnity land. On July U, 1901, Amos
S. Gleason applied to havo a patent Is
sued to Deshautel, Gleason claiming to
be the owner of the land by a deed from
others through Deshautel. I$e alleged
that he had acquitted title and had been
living on the land since November, 1S72,
having It inclosed for agricultural pur
poses In connection with his adjoining
farm, and that he purchased the land
that he had acquired title and had been
perfected by Deshautel. On December
30, 1901, the state was allowed CO days to
show cause why final certificate should
not be Issued to Deshautel and the selec
tion canceled. The stato failed to take
action, so Allen Forward filed a protest
against the issuance of a patent, claim
ing to be a purchaser from the state,
which refused to assist Forward to
protect his Interests. The General Land
Office ruled that the state having taken
no action it considered a waiver of all
rights that It might have in the selec
tion. This afternoon Amos S. Gleason came
down from Hubbard and received a

STATE PROFITS BY ERROR.
Hunters, However, Arc Out by De
cision on Bounty Law.
SALEM, Or., July 24.-(Speclal.)-It is
not often that the state profits by an
error, but It Is very apparent that the
Attorney-General's decision over a year
ago that the fishery bounty law was In
operative has resulted in a saving to the
state. It is learned that a man In Klam
ath County killed 1400 shags during the
brief space of time the lav was supposed
to be operative, and at the legal rate of 5
cents each he would have been entitled
to ?70. At the same rate of killing, he
would have been ablo to secure consider
able portion ot the bounty fund by this
time. One man started Into the business
of killing seillons, for the scalps of which
a bounty of $2 H each was provided. Ho
killed a, number of the devourers of sal
mon, but In every case the lions would
plunge Into the water and sink. Proba
bly the greatest demand upon the bounty
fund would have been from those who en
gage In killing shags, sheldrake. and cor
morants, principally thd first named.
A well-known Klamath County man
says that although the shags catch some
fish In the small streams, yet the p-ople
are not deelrouo of hnvlnsr these birds

Why not have the early,

It's easily done with Ayer's
Hair Vigor. Nearly every
body uses it. Ask your own
friends. Probably they know
how it always restores color,
checks falling, and keeps the
hair rich and glossy.
" I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor and
have found it a great remedy. It

all other remedies nad failed.,, Mrs.

great extent, scavengers, like the seagulls
of the ocean beach.
The decision of the Supremo Court,
which practically declares the bounty law
to be inoperative, may result In some
effort to secure bounties under the law,
but, on the whole, the ppsltion taken by
the Attorney-General and. the Secretary
of State, will result in a saving of sev
eral thousand dollars. No one has com
plained of any Injury resulting from the
refusal to, pay bounties.
