DYNAMITE IN SACKS
Cache Found in Haystack
Near Townsend.
RANCHER SURPRISES SLEEPER
Believed to Be One of Gang: That
Han Threatened Destruction on
Northern Pacific Road Reward
Offer Increased.
HELENA, Mont., Oct. 8. (Special.)
The Northern Pacific detectives, now
snaking Helena their headquarters, have
received word that two sacks of dyna
mite were found Tuesday night near
Townsend. The powder was found by
Nick Rovig, a ranchman who lives six
miles west of Townsend, and whose place
Is on the line of the railroad.
Four days ago Rovig drove to the stack
after a load of hay. Arriving there he
found asleep a man who awoke at his
approach. The man said nothing, but
mounted his horse and rode off. The horse
looked jaded. Mr. Rovig thought from
Its appearance it had been ridden a long
distance.
The circumstance did not arouse Rovlg's
suspicions; and he gave the incident no
further thought until Tuesday night,
when, in getting a load of hay from the
stack, he found two sacks of slant pow
der. Rovig at once notified- the North
ern Pacific authorities at Townsend.
The powder was secured and placed in
a safe place. It was thought to be part
of that stolen from the powder-house of
the A. M. Bolter Company three weeks
ago. Rovig was able to give a description
of the man who was found asleep at the
haystack, and the officers and detectives
all along the line have been furnished It.
The finding of the powder Is considered
fortunate as the officers believe that the
blackmailers intended to use all or part of
it near the point at which it was con
cealed. Unless the dynamiters have been
able to replenish their stock of explosives
recently they are now about out of pow
der. Extraordinary precautions have been
-taken to prevent them securing additional
supplies. Powder-houses are being
watched and all stores selling explosives
are -on the lookout for men who make in
quiries concerning powder.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany has increased the reward it offered
for the arrest and conviction of the black
mailers from ?2500 to $5000. The state has
offered $5000 reward ad Park County $500
reward for the capture of the miscreants.
Dan Gllmore, an inmate of the County
Poor Farm at Butte, found a stick of
dynamite on the Northern Pacific tracks
near Butte this morning. A fuse and caps
were attached. The stick of dynamite
was about a foot long. One end had been
partially burned. Expert miners familiar
with powder who were shown the stick
say that an attempt had evidently been
made to fire it, but that for some reason
the powder had failed to explode.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 8. When the
Japanese steamer Nippon Maru came out
of quarantine last night an Important ar
rest was made by Secret Service Agen
George W. Hazen. The person taken into
custody was J. F. Arondez, a fugitive
r .consular representative of the Nether

matic and criminal machinery of two na
tions was put into motion.
Arondez was stationed at Batavia, Java,
in the governmental position named.
Some time ago he disappeared and it is
alleged his accounts were found .to bo
short $15,000. It was believed that he was
coming to the United States and Secre
tary Hay was requested by Baron Gevcrs,
Minister of the Netherlands, to assist In
securing the ex-Consular Agent
Secret service men everywhere were
notified. When Arondez was arrested $11,
500 was found in his possession and the
money will be given to the Netherlands.
In view of the recovery of most of the
money Intimations have been given that
there may not be a criminal prosecution
of the prisoner. His early release is looked
for.

PUBLICITY FOR PETITIONS
Attempts to Have Convicts Pardoned
Should Be Made Openly.
WESTFALL. Or Oct. 3. (To the
Editor.) We have just learned that the
Bailey brothers have been pardoned out of
tho Oregon penitentiary after serving 11
years of a life sentence for committing
one of the most unprovoked and cold
blooded murders ever perpetrated In this
state. It seems that the pardon was
granted upon the strength of a petition
presented to the Governor, signed by a
majority of the legal voters of Malheur
County. -
It has been stated that these two young
men served 11 years at hard labor In the
penitentiary at Salem for killing a man
at a dance at Vale, the county seat of
Malheur. This Is entirely wrong. Will
iam Humbert, the young man the Bailey
boys assassinated, was on his way home
from the polls, where he had been to at
tend the primaries, and was shot down
within sight of his own door, and in plain
sight of his wife and children. I have
resided here for 23 years, and know where
of I speak. I also was a juror at the
Coroner's Inquest It was proved by the
evidence produced before the Coroner's
Jury, the grand jury and the trial jury
in the Circuit Court of this county, that
the crime was one of the most unpro
voked, premeditated and cold-blooded
murders ever committed in this state.
This is the way it happened: The Bailey
boys had been at the Democratic primary
trying to run things in the Interest of cer
tain disreputable politicians who were
then running our county affairs for their
own private benefit and had furnished the
Bailey boys five gallors of whisky to use
at the polls. During the day the Bailey
boys had some trifling dispute with Hum
bert and others of no importance what
ever. Humbert mounted his horse after
purchasing a few supplies to take home to
his family. Soon after his departure, the
two galley boys, being somewhat the
worse for whisky, mounted their horses
and rode to overtake Humbert, swearing
that they would kill him. On the way
they stopped at a farmhouse and In
quired If Humbert had passed. Being
answered in the affirmative they swore
they were after him and would kill him
on sight They overtook poor Humbert
and shot him off his pony In plain sight of
his family; then returned and stopped at
the same farmhouse, Joe Randleman, arid
told the owner that they had killed the
, boasting that they had shot him three
times before he struck the ground. They
told Randleman that if he Informed any
one they would kill him also. When
Humbert's body was examined nothing
was found In the shape of a weapon, not
even a pocket knife. The, post mortem
examination disclosed four shot wounds,
all through the back, any any one of them
would have proved mortal. Three holes
had been made by a 44-callber and one by
a 38-callber pistol, corresponding precisely
with the pistols the Bailey boys carried.
The Baileys were arrested, along with
three more young men as accomplices,
and tried -before an Impartial jury and
duly and justly convicted of murder in
the second degree. The verdict w-as a
surprise to the law-abiding portion of
this community, for It should have been
murder In the first degree, according to
the evidence presented to the jury. There
was not one single extenuating circum
stance connected with the murder. Hum
bert was known In the community as a
quiet Inoffensive and peaceable young
man, who would not harm anything will
ingly, and worked hard at honest labor,
to support his young family. It was a
most cowardly and cruel murder, and the
Bailey boys, if they had gpt" their Just
dues, would, have expiated their dastardly
crime on the gallows.
That Is about the sum and substance of
this case. Now, where does It appear that
the Bailey boys should have been par
doned after serving only a small portion
of their sentence, and be turned loose,
to be a menace to life and property?
Great stress has been laid upon the fact
that the young men -monsters they are)
have served 11 years at hard labor in the
penitentiary, whereas they really ought
to have been hanged. But nothing Is
said of poor. Innocent Humbert, who was
cruelly murdered In the flower of his life,
and has filled a cold and lonely grave on
a bleak hill in the cemetery near West
fall, or of his poor children who have .been
cast out upon the world to live as best
they may, and, but for kind-hearted
friends might have fared badly.
Now, since the news of the pardon has
reached us, I have made diligent Inquiry
among the taxpayers of this section,
but have failed so far to find one who
admits having seen, or signed, that peti
tion. Some time ago It was rumored
that one Bob Blalock. who had just re
turned from Salem, after serving a term
In the Oregon penlten'tlary for horse
stealing, was circulating about the saloons
through this section a petition asking our
Governor to pardon the Bailey boys. The
better class of citizens paid no attention
to It however, concluding that It would
have no weight with our Governor. We
can hardly understand why the then act
ing Prosqcutlng Attorney. C. Hyde, should
Indorse such a petition, after so vigorous
ly prosecuting the Baileys. Wltat caused
him so to change his opinion In this case?
Let him come out and tell this community
the reason. We know, Charley, that you
are a little vacllating. at times, but we
did not believe you to be so bad. Just
such cases as this make an outraged com
munity look to Judge Lynch Tor Justice. It
Is the unanimous opinion of the law-abld
lng people of this county that all petitions
asking the Governor to pardon convicts
who have been proved guilty of commit
ting heinous crimes, should be published
In one or more of the leading newspapers
of this state; before action can be taken
by the pardoning power. This would en-'
able the community at large to present
a remonstrance, where. In the opinion of
the majority of the taxpayers of a com
munity, the crime committed should not
allow of pardon. And It would also guard
our Governor from being l(hposed upon
by fictitious or irresponsible petitioners.

Colonization Scheme of Christians Is
Contrary to the Bible.
EUGENE. Or., Oct 7. (To the Editor.)
That colonization scheme of Rev. H. S.
Wallace, as outlined In yesterday's pa
per, looks pretty there. Heaven Is beau
tifully portrayed In sacred writ. Tears
are not to be known, or sorrow, or pain,
or fear. All ways are to be beautifully
lighted. The unrighteous are to have no
place In that delightful city celestial. Our
song ,books are replete with descriptive
poetry and note harmony of the "Beulah
Land."
We may have a glorious vision por
trayed as a possibility by the maneuv
ering of millions of capital. But comes
this habitation In Its reality In this way?
It may work a benefit to many of our
poor who are homeseekers and desire
these equal conditions per force. Social
Ism has beautiful visions. Their imprac
ticability, by the naturally unequal con
ditions of the dear people Is the "If" In
the way of the perfecting of these
schemes. It Is hard to get a common
straight-jacket for everybody. This Is
the attempt of the colonist. To suit them
every star should shine with the same
brilliance; It would rain no place too
much, and. every place would have
enough: each mountain would be as high
as the other, and each valley of like
breadth and fertility; no desert would
exist and so no oasis. Should Mr. Wal
lace succeed and paradise become real In
that part of the Willamette Valley, while
the unconverted are without, the very
basis of the 525,000,000 structure wouTd
weaken upon the advance of the covetous.
The scheme Is the very reverse of the
declared policy of the Lord and, there
fore, cannot succeed In his name. For,
as long as remains his command to his
subjects, "Go Into all the world," It can
not parallel, but will conflict
As salt Is distributed In and through
that which It would save, so Christ or
dained his disciples to be the salt of the
earth. And Instead of commanding them
to withdraw to themselves. He said "Go!"
Religious colonization schemes have not
been a success for this very reason. We
have an instance at Scott's Mills and
Newberg where the Friends have tried by
colonization to control everything.
And again the work of Elijah II. "Let
both grow together until the harvest at
the end of the vorld," Is the benign pur
pose of Christ, that the world may
be blessed. The Idea Is really antl-Chrls-tlan.
It Is selfish. Christ. In speaking
of the good will of the Father In distribut
ing blessings of rain, sunshine and fruit
ful seasons on all classes said. "Be ye,
therefore, (In this respect), perfect even
as your Father In heaven."
Discrimination belonged to the Jewish
doctrine for a time, keeping them to them
selves for the great purpose of God ful
filled In Christ as a world's savior.
God's purpose would no more "be fulfilled
In separating Christians to themselves
now than it would have been to scatter
the Hebrews among all the nations be
fore Christ God's promise to the Hebrew
fathers and confirmed to David of one
descending from the loins could not have
been fulfilled by mixing of blood. Now
that this Is accomplished, the Hebrews
may lawfully mingle among all nations.
And Christians are commanded to llght
the world by commingling with all peo
ples. J. B. LISTER.
TALE OF A SUCKER.
Allnriiif? Baits, and What Happens
"When You Bite 'Em.
DALLAS. Or.. Oct 5. (To the Editor.)
I read In The Oregonlan of September 25,
with considerable Interest .the experience
of Mrs. Effl'e Brandt with letter copying
firms.
Last Winter I saw an ad of like charac
ter and my health being poor I thought
here was a chance to make a little for
tune, as I am quick with a pen. I re
ceived a circular, etc, word for word as
did Mrs. Brandt, although from a firm in
tho East. I sent my money and upon
receipt of instructions, found I had got
to swindle somebody else before I got
my 20 cents.
I wrote the firm saying unless my
money was promptly returned I would ex
pose them through the press, and they
returned the cash and wrote me I was
one of the smart kind and didn't know a
good thing when offered me.
All the cheap story papers are filled
with ads of a like craracter, and 99 per
cent bf them are frauds. There Is another
ad. running In a great many papers, I
would warn people against which reads
like this: Wanted Men everywhere: good
pay; to distribute circulars, adv. matter,
tack signs, etc No canvassing.
Not being satisfied with my letter copy
ing experience I wrote a Chicago firm,
who answered me that upon receipt of
?2 they would enroll me upon their staff
of workers, send me a life certificate, "and
supply me with all the work I could do.
I thought this was a fair deal. I sent my
money and received a beautiful certificate,
etc They further wrote that to give the
business a business-like look It was really
necessary to have their printed station
ery and letters of Introduction to busi
ness firms, and I was foolish enough to
send $6 for the stationery, which 1 re
ceived promptly. Result: I have not re
ceived one cent's worth of work from
any source, and I think the less one has
to do with such ads the better.

Invitation put In writing, but he was
afraid It was a trap. He said also he did
not want to violate any of the dueling
laws of Ills state.
Answering further questions, the witness
said when he was correspondent In Wash
ington for some Southern papers Mr. Gon
zales was an applicant for the position
of Consul-General to Shanghai, and that
he wrote his papers that Mr. Gonzales
would'1 not be appointed, and said he had
some words with him In a hotel lobby in
Washington.
Asked as to Mr. Gonzales attitude
toward his military career, he said:
"It has always been bitter toward me
since I was 21 years of age."
The" question of his military career and
the comments of the State then came up.
Mr. Tillman stated, among other things,
that Mr. Gonzales wanted to have him
court-martialed because of an Incident
which he related. Relative to the organi
zation of a company of Indian scouts,
which had been referred to, the defendant
said ho wanted to organize such a com
pany to take to the Philippines, but Pres
ident McKlnley and the Army officers In
Washington opposed It
Asked how he was treated by Mr. Gon
zales In his campaign for Governor, the
defendant replied:
"I thjnk those editorials are fair sam
ples of It"
He denied he had ever been a traitor to
his uncle, and said he had not Intention
ally been discourteous to the Senator. He
was next asked what had been the atti
tude of Mr. Gonzales toward him prior to
1902, to which he replied:
"I think the party has been pretty well
devoted to me since 1890." and in answer
to a further question said the editorials
In the State had been extremely abusive
to him.
James Davis, of Edgefield, was on the
stand when the trial was resumed today.
He said he did not hear the defendant
make any threats In the presence of O; D.
Black while riding on a train from John
ston to Columbia. On cross-examination
he said he did not know Black.
Colonel L. Blease said he had heard
Tillman say on everal occasions that he
wanted to avoid difficulties wjth Gon
zales. J. A. White and Richard Holzen
back testified that Gonzales had declared
In their presence that he had made Till
man show the white feather, and would
do so again. '
