IT SAVES RED TAPE
Supreme Court Decides Re
garding Indictments.
NAMESTHATGOQN INFORMATION
Only Thoie of "Witnesses Examined
Heatiired County Road Petitions
Must Be So Plain That He
Who Xluna May Read.
It is not necessary in criminal cases
for tho prosecuting attorney' to Insert
at the loot of an Information the names
of any -witnesses other than those ex
amined by him.
The terminus of a proposed county
road must toe.so designated in the peti
tion that a person of ordinary Intelli
gence need not -mistake the location.
"Where men are charged Jointly with
the commission of a crime and are tried
separately, it is error to admit testi
mony regarding statements made by an
other in the absence of the defendant
lifter the alleged conspiracy bad ter
minated. "When an agent refuses to pay over
money collected for his principal, the
latter may bring an action, in trover,
and need not describe the particular
money converted.
SALEM, July 28. (Special.) Tho Su
preme Court today handed down opinions
in four appealed cases as follows:
State of Oregon; respondent, vs. James
I. 'Warren, appellant, from Multnomah
county, M. C. George, Judge, affirmed;
opinion by Justice "Wolverton.
The defendant was convicted of the
murder of William Kirk, mate of the
ship Clarence S. Bement, at Portland,
January 23, 1900. He was sentenced to
life imprisonment and appealed to the
Supreme Court. Tho evidence against
him was entirely circumstantial, the
principal facts being that "Warren was
with Kirk in hiB room the night the kill
ing occurred, that he had little money at
that time, that he left the next morning
for San Francisco, from which place he
went to' St. Louis and was captured-the
following June at Atlanta, where ho lived
under an assumed name. The principal
contention of defendant was that the evi
dence produced by the state was not
sufficient to warrant the court in sub
mitting the case to the Jury. After a re
view of the evidence the opinion says:
"There was an adequate motive Shown
for the deed, and the subsequent actions
of the defendant "were of such a charac
ter, when wholly unexplained as they
were, to lead to a strong distrust of him,
bo that there was evidence amplo un
der the theory adopted by the state from
which the Jury might reasonably have
Inferred the defendant's connection -with
the xrlmc, and hence, his guilt in com
mission thereof."
It Is held, among other things, that it
Is not necessary for tho prosecuting at
torney to Insert at the foot of the indict
ment the names of any other persons
than those examined by him and that
when the defense .attempted to show the
bias of a "witness by proving that he had
engaged in a fight with defendant, it
was proper for tho prosecution to show
how the fight arose.
State of Oregon, respondent, vs. James
Aiken, appellant, from "Washington coun
ty, A. A. McBrlde, Judge, reversed and
remanded for new trial; opinion by Chief
Justice Moore.
The defendant, James Alkon, was
charged. Jointly with Henry Bacon and
Budd Malim, with the murder of Jung
Goey Shu. in "Washington county. Decem
ber 3. 1900. Separate trial was had and
Aiken having been found guilty was sen
tenced "to life imprisonment, from which
judgment he appealed. At the trial In
the court below, the state, adopting the
theory that the deceased "was killed In
pursuance of a conspiracy formed by Ai
ken, Bacon and Malim, Introduced tes
timony descriptive of Bacon's appear
ance after the; homicide and detailing
certain statements made by him at that
time in tho absence of defendant. This
testimony was admitted over defendant's
objection.
Bacon appeared at the saloon of "Wil
liam Woodard, six miles from the place
of the killing, about two hours and forty-five
minutes after the crime had been
committed. His clothes were muddy and
he had a cut over tho right eye. When
asked whether he had had a scrap he
said that he had. "but you oueht to see
the other fellow." The court holds that!
while Bacon's appearance was compe
tent testimony upon the theory that such
appearance is the necessary consequence
of a joint participation In an unlawful
enterprise, yet it was error to admit in
the trial of Aiken testimony made by
Bacon in Aiken's absence. For this reas
on the case is reversed and sent back for
riew trial.
Balem Light and Traction Company, re
spondent, vs. F. B. Anson, appellant,
from Marlon county, George H. Burnett,
judge, affirmed; opinion by Justice Bean.
This was an action In trover for money
alleged to have been collected by the
defendant for the plaintiff and converted
to his own use. Anson was manager and
agent of the Salem Light and Traction
Company at Salem,. Oregon, and after
the trial in the court below the court
found that Anson had collected money to
the amount of 53,561 OS, for which he had
not accounted. It was also stated in tho
findings of fact that Anson caused false
entries to be made in the books with in
tent to defraud and deceive the company.
The chief contention of defendant on
appeal was that plalntlfTs remedy was
by an action on contract, and not in
trover, and hence the complaint did not
state facts sufficient to constitute a cause
of action. The Supremo Court holds that
where the principal Is entitled to receive,
and the terms of the employment of the
agent -require him to pay over the identic
cal money received, an action of trover
will He for Its conversion, "and such was
the case here All money so col
lected belonged to his principal. The title
immediately 'ested in the plaintiff and
the defendant had no Interest therein
and no authority to make any use there
of whatever. The plaintiff was
entitled to tho identical money received."
It Is also held that In an action of this
kind It Is neither possible nor necessary
to describe the particular money con
verted, but It is sufficient to allege and
prove tho aggregate amount converted.
Amos Kelson, appellant, vs. Yamhill
county, respondent, from Yamhill county,
R. P. Boise, Judge, affirmed; opinion by
Justice Bean-
This was a proceeding by writ of re
view to set aside the action of the coun
ty court in locating and establishing a
county road. The only question for de
cision was 'whether the terminus thereof
was sufficiently specified In the petition
for Its location. The road had been sur
veyed before the petition was filed, and
In describing the proposed road the place
of beginning was definitely stated and
then the course was, given according to
the surveyors' notes. The 34th was also
designated by known surface objects,
after which the line went "north on a
line 20 feet west of said Nelson's east line
29.13 chains to angle 3.5 In said Nelson's
Held, thence north 56 degrees. 40 minutes
west. 15.74 chains to a stake for terminus
of proposed county road, said stake be
ing set in the center of a certain county
road now there; and from which point an
oak 12 inches in diameter bears south.
7S degrees west, S5 links distant, and an
oak 10 inches in diameter bears north,
62 degrees west, 185 links distant."
The Supreme Court holds that in the
petition tho terminus of the road must
be so designated that a person of ordin
ary intelligence need not mistake the lo
cation. The opinion says that by start
ing at the Initial point and following the
calls, the route can be accurately traced,
but If it Is not allowable to use the Initial
point in ascertaining the terminus, the
latter point can be located from the call
at angle 34. It is therefore held that the
terminus was desirable With sufficient
certainty.
Supreme Court Orders, t
The following orders were made In tho
Supreme Court today:
I. H. Adams, appellant, vs. J. M.
Church, administrator, respondent, or
dered that appellant have until August
10 to file brief.

Hulda E. Hoover, et al., appellants, re
spondents allowed until August 15 to file
brief.

spondents, vs. Sarah M. Kern, adminis
tratrix, appellant, respondents time to
file brief extended to August 20.
"Williamson vs. Wilson, time for filing
petition for rehearing extended 30 days.
SAY OFFICERS OVERWORK MEJf.
Fort Stevens' Difficulties May be Giv
en an Official Airing.
ASTORIA. July 28. (Specia)-It is ex
tremely difficult to secure much definite
Information concerning the recent trou
bles at Fort Stevens that culminated In
several incendiary fires at the post build
ings. Extra guards are still kept on
duty, and leaves of absence are given the
enlisted men for urgent reasons only.
There appears to be an organized Insub
ordination among certain of the new re
cruits, directed not at the service but at
the officers in charge, who, it Is alleged
by some of the men, overtax them with
work not necessary or required by the
rules. They also assert that some of the
officers treat them in a brutal and severe
manner. The trouble at the post has
been called to the attention of the War
Department and, it is said, an official In
vestigation has been ordered, when the
enlisted men will be given an opportunity
to explain their treatment. The assertion
is made that the overt acts were com
mitted not with the Intention of destroy
ing Government property but with a
knowledge" that a departmental investi
gation would be ordered when the condi
tions existing at the post could be called
to the direct attention of the heads of the
War Department.

SAYS SMITH JILTED HER.
School Teacher Snes Prominent
Stayton Merchant for $0750.
SALEM, July 2S. (Special.) Miss
Martha Wilson, a well-known school
teacher of the Stayton neighborhood, to
day began an action against David B.
Smith to recover JG750 damages for breach
of promise. Smith is a prominent mer
chant at Stayton and a popular young
man in social circle. Miss Wilson alleges
that in December, 1901, she and Smith
made mutual agreements to marry each
other, the consummation of the contract
to take place In the.Summer or early Fall
of 1902. According to tho complaint. Smith
did not wait for the time to expire, but
notified her early this month that he
would not now or at any time become
her husband. Miss Wilson alleges that
ehe can earn ?40 per month at school
teaching, but because of Smith's engage
ment to marry her she made no contract
to teach during the coming school year,
and it is now too late for her to secure
a position. Tho unfaithfulness of her al
leged lover has caused her great mental
anguish, resulting In lllnesa which re
quired the attendance of a physician.
Miss Smith demands $1000 general dam
ages, $2000 punitive damages, and $750 for
Ioes of wages, medical attendance, etc
GRAIN ASSOCIATION FORMED.
Farmers of Marlon County Neigh
borhood Will Pool Crops.
SALEM, July 2S. (Special.) The farm
ers of the Rock Point neighborhood. In
the Waldo Hills, held a meeting Satur
day evening and organized the Rock
Point Grain Association, with the follow
ing offlcera: President, W. H. Downing,
Sublimity; secretary and treasurer, H. H.
Humphreys, Macleay. A sales commit
tee was chosen, consisting of W. H.
Downing, J. T. Hunt, T. B. Patton, Mar
tin Smith and Adam Burns.
Practically all the farmers of that vicin
ity have joined the association, and there
is jjreat enthusiasm over the project. The
success of tho grain pools formed In 1900
and 1901, by which the members realized
4 to 5 cents per bushel more than did
those outside the pool, has given the
farmers great confidence in this plan of
disposing, of their grain. Another meet
ing will be held August 15, when the
total amount of grain represented will be
known and the farmers will be ready to
receive bids for the pool.

FAR3IERS HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC.
Lincoln County Association Has an
Interesting: Session at Toledo.
TOLEDO, Or., July 23. (Special.) The
Lincoln County Farmers' Association held
Its second annual harvest home picnic at
the Parrish grove, two miles west of here,
Saturday. After a sumptuous repast a
short programme waa carried out. Hon!
J. F. Stewart was the first speaker
and discussed briefly the benefits to be
derived from gatherings of this sort. Dur
ing the course of his remarks he took
occasion to speak in highly complimentary
terms of tho work of the Oregon Agri
cultural College, through the fanners' ln
jstitute movement.
Dr. A. Carter, of Elk City, was called
upon to discuss the advisability of hold
ing an agricultural fair in the county
this Fall. The opinion of the speaker
was that such a meeting would be' high
ly desirable, .
Professor F. L. Kent, of the Oregon
Agricultural College, discussed "Co-operative
Creameries." He held that In lo
calities where little is known of cream
cry management the proprietary concern
Is most successful. There is much for the
patrons to learn regarding- feeding, caro
of milk, tho operation of the milk test,
etc., and the up-to-date proprietor can be
helpful to his patrons "along these Hne9
to such an extent that the creamery will
prosper, while without such Information
the probabilities are that tho concern will
be a failure. He expressed the opinion
that this locality is particularly well
adapted to dairying.
