The Jury In the case of Albert Martin,
the Indian blacksmith, accused of the
murdor of U. S. Grant, an Indian Justice
of the Peace of the Slletz reservation, re
turned a verdist last night of manslaugh
ter. The case -was, under consideration
for seven hours by the juror9 before a
decision could be reached. A portion of
the Jury, it Is said, held out for murder
In the first degree, but a compromise was
made upon manslaughter.
The verdict was returned into court a
few minutes before 6 o'clock. The pris
oner listened to the reading of the verdict
without the slightest show of concern,
and refused to talk about his fate. Ap
parently It worried him little, for on the
way to the jail he laughed and talked
freely about other matters.
' Cause of the Feud.
Romance and tragedy are strangely In
termingled In the Indian feud that Is said
to be the cause of the recent killing of
Grant Since the 'trial of Martin and Abe
Logan on the charge frequent references
have been made to some tribal troubles
between the Joshuas, of which Martin
and Logan are members, and the Alseas,
of which Grant was a member. Hints
were thrown out in the evidence that
there was bad blood between tho two
trlb'fs that gave birth to personal enmity
between the murdered man and those ac
cused of the crime. What the cause of
this Ill-feeling was has not been unfolded
to the court, but by means of much per
suasion the Redmen In attendance upon
the trial were Induced to tell the story.
From their statements, punctuated with
many gestures and strange facial contor
tions, It appears that Grant, as the leader
of the Alsea tribe, Incurred the everlast
ing enmity of the Joshuas by his official
actions as policeman, relative to two mur
der cases In which Joshua Indians were
killed, and their, slayers went unpunished.
To add Insult to Injury, the hated Indian
official wooed and won the widow left by
one of the murdered Joshuas. Since then
the Joshuas have harbored a grudge
against the Alseas, It Is claimed, and this
enmity was particularly cherished by
Logan and Martin, against Grant, be
cause of the fact that the men murdered,
whose slayers were saved from Indian
vengeance by Grant, were relatives of
tho accused men. It Is to this old feud
that the malice and motive In the recent
crime Is attributed.
The Ill-feeling first started when Indian
Tom, a cousin of Martin's, was killed In
a fight with a half-breed redskin from an
other reservation. The Joshuas donned
war paint, and were about to administer
Indian justice according to the custom of
their forefathers, when Grant, who was
policeman, spirited the half-breed away
to Toledo, whnre he would be safe. The
accused man was afterward acquitted, It
being held that he acted In self-defense.
This, it Is said, gave rise to a hatred be
tween Martin and Grant.
Grant Aroused Bitter Hatred.
At a later time a brother of Logan's
was shot and killed by a saloon man In
Toledo during a row. Tho white man
was cleared upon testimony that the In
dian attempted to shoot him. This
arousedfcthe ire of Logan, It is said, and
he attempted to persuade Grant to in
form against the saloon man for selling
liquor to Indians. It appears that Grant
had been getting his supply of "firewater"
at this saloon, and he refused to.glve In
formation. This, it is claimed, made Lo
gan a bitter enemy of tho Indian officer.
The climax was capped and the height of
insult was heaped upon tribal pride when
Grant, the tiated leader of the hated Al
seas, wooed and married the widow of
Martin's dead cousin, Indian Tom. It
called forth frequent threats of murder.
Evidence was introduced during the trial
of Martin to the effect that on the fatal
night Martin and Grant were heard quar
reling, and the name of Grant's wife was
mentioned. Logan testified that tho two
had words about her, but he did not know
what the nature of the dispute was.
Wrongs Magnified by Liquor.
In the closing of Martin's trial yester
day morning the motive and malice of
the crime were attributed to the personal
and tribal feeling between the dead man
and the Indian accused of the crime. Dis
trict Attorney Hall argued that tho eyi
donce went to show that Martin had
nursed the grudge against Grant, that
under the Influence of liquor his wrongs,
or Imaginary wrongs, became magnified,
and he seized an opportunity to carry out
the threats he was alleged to have made
against the life of Grant.
The jury was instructed that either of
the three verdicts, murder In the first de
gree, manslaughter, or acquittal, could be
returned, and the jurors retired at 11:15
A. Ml to consider the case.
Abe Logan to Be Tried.
The afternoon session of court was tak
en up in the selection of jurors to hear
the case against Abe Logan. A large
number of tho talesmen examined had de
cided opinions about Indians that disqual
ified thom for service upon tho jury. Tho
latter will probably be secured this morn
ing and the trial of the case will com
mence. A strange feature of this case
is that the witnesses who were for the
prosecution during Martin's trial will now
be on the side of the defense, and those
who testified for Martin will become the
Government's witnesses.
The red-skinned witnesses who have
been lounging about the Courthouse,
smoking cigarettes and jabbering In In
dian lingo, lost no tlmo yesterday after
noon In making a demand for witness
fees as soon as Martin's case was placed
In the hands of the Jury. The .rtedmen
kept the clerks, Deputy Marshals and
every one else about tho building fully
employed explaining that payday would
not come until both, cases had been com
pleted. Slow Progress on East Side Line.
Slow progress is being made upon tho
new East Pine-street line of the Portland
Railway Company. Deterred by rainy
wcathor and by the pressure of other
work, the construction gang Is moving
slowly along East Tenth street. Tho
rails are laid almost to East Pine street
at present. On the Union-avenue line an
other block of double track Is being laid,
so that two lines of rails will extend
north to tho Sulllvan's-gulcb bridge.
A small street-sweeping machine, oper
ated by hand, made by Superintendent
Donaldson, of the Street Cleaning Depart
ment, was tested On the upper end of Mor
rison street at noon yesterday In the
presence of Mayor Williams, Auditor
Devlin, H. W. Goddard, of the Street
Cleaning1 Committee, Lewis Russell and
others with very satisfactory results.
When Mr. Russell came home from
Edinburgh last Summer ho suggested to
Superintendent Donaldson the advisability
of using hand-sweeping machines on
smooth streets," as hp had seen done In
Edinburgh and other cities. He was so
enthusiastic over the idea that he offered
to pay for one machine himself If neces
sary In order to have a test made. '
Messrs. Goddard and" Howell, of the
Street Cleaning Committee, Investigated
the matter last Spring, but as at that time
most of the asphalt streets were full of
holes, It was thought best not to attempt
the use of hand machines until the pave
ments had been repaired. As the repairs
arc- now completed and a number of
streets are in good order, the committee
decided to make the trial, and Superin
tendent Donaldson was authorized to build
a sweeper, which he did on his own plans.
The machine looks like an exaggerated
i' carpet-sweeper mounuftl on a pair of
bicycle wheels. The Broom is of rattan,
about a foot and a half across and three
feet long, and Is driven at a high rate of
speed. It brushes all the dirt back Into
an iron box.
This box is provided with handles, by
which the machine, Is pushed along, and
when it is full can be pulled out of the
frame and emptied Into a stationary re
ceptacle and then replaced and the sweep
ing continued.
The present method of sweeping" streets
by horse machines is not entirely satis
factory to the city officials. .The streets
are swept each night and before noon
the surface Is littered with rubbish, which
remains for the rest of the day.
It Is estimated that one man with this
machine can sweep six or eight blocks
per day, and what is more to the point,
keep them clean.
Receptacles will be provided, at Inter
vals along the street In which the sweep
ings collected by the machine will be de
posited, and these boxes will be emptied
into a dumpcart, which follows for that
purpose. As the experiment yesterday
was considered a success, a sufficient
number of these hand-machines will prob
ably be built to sweep Third, Fourth,
Sixth, Seventh, Stark, Washington, Alder
and Morrison streets, and other streets
which may later be covered with asphalt,
brick or wood-block pavements. This
will enable Superintendent Donaldson to
use the horse machines on other streets,
which have heretofore been unavoidably
neglected, and these power brooms can
be sent to the East Side oftener than at
present. The cost of the hand sweeper
was about $50.

NINE IDENTIFY HI.
f
Hold-Up Victims Say L. Conners Is
the Highwayman.
If the evidence of nine Italians can be
relied upon, two of the daring criminals
who have been terrorizing e Portland for
tho past few weeks by repeated burglaries
and hold-ups, are confined In the City
JaiL L. Conners, the gentlemanly Individ
ual who halls from Denver, and in whose
trunk were found papers showing that no
was engaged In that city In a business of
considerable size, is ono of the prisoners.
The other is Bert Coble, known by the
police to be a friend of the gentleman
highwayman.
All the victims of Tecent hold-ups thatJ
have seen Conners declare he is the im
age of the man who got their money.
Nine Italians, who were In the South
Portland Exchange saloon at the time It
was robbed visited tho City Jail yester
day. Conners and Coble were led out be
fore them, and every man declared that
both prisoners were guilty. Donato Rog-
man, the proprietor of tho saloon, is so
thoroughly convinced that the right men
are arrested that he has consented to
make tho charge against them in Ills own
name.
H. M. Haller,.who took a shot at a
fleeing burglar at his home In Alblna some
days ago, visited the station yesterday,
and, when shown the suspect, told Chief
Hunt ho was sure Conners and the rob
ber would count as but one man on the
census lists. .However, he would not be
willing to take the stand against the man,
he said.
In looking oyer the silverware found In
the man's trunk, tho officers discovered
the name "Lieutenant Taylor, Fort Leav
enworth," upon each separato piece. From
this the police believe Conners secured the
silverware at the Kansas town, or else
has received it from some confederate in
crime. They have wired the Kansas au
thorities and are-now awaiting a reply.
Conners says he Is Innocent, but makes
no explanations, saying he will establish
his innocence in due time. He has secured
the services of Attorey A. Walter Wolfe,
and says ho will fight the charges to the
end. When arraigned In tho Police Court
yesterday ho entered a plea of not guilty
to the charge of carrying a concealed
weapon, and his case was continued until
today.
Pojice P.ick John Larsen upon Street
' 'Unconscious,) Put Him In Cell,
and Say NgSuch Person
Is' in JaiL
After being picked up on tho street with
his skull broken, taken to the city jail
and lying unconscious in a cell for two
days, during which time ho was treated
for Tdelerium tremens, John Larsen was
finally removed to the Good Samaritan
Hospital, where he died yesterday.
' During the time he was confined in the
city jail his 11-year-old son, who is a mes
senger boy, searched the city high and low
for him, but was unable to find a trace
of his father. Owing to "his unconscious
condition at the time he .was brought
in, Larsen was unable to give his name,
and when the bay inquired at the sta
tion for his father he was told "There
Is no such man here." Finally Jn his anx
iety the boy asked to bo allowed to go
Into the cell and look at the prisoners.
His father's helpless form was lying near
the stove on the hard cement floor, and
he hastened to have him remaved to a
hospital. f
Larsen was well known to the saloon
going people of Portland. Ho had worked
In a number of saloons as a "swamper."
Until a few days before the accident that
cost him his life he was employed In the
Peerless saloon at Third and Ash streets.
On November 19 he was drinking, and be
came Intoxicated. As he was wandering
past Fourth and Stark streets he fell
and struck his head violently on the
pavement. A large crowd quickly gath
ered around, and the man was removed
to the baggage transfer rooms. The pa
trol wagon was summoned, and he was
taken to the city jalL He was unconscious
at the time, but his breath smelled so
strong of whisky and his actions .so
closely resembled those of a man "dead"
drunk that the officers regarded his case
as nothing out of tho ordinary. He was
not able to give his name before he was
locked up, "but it was thought ho would
soon sleep off his drunk and be all right.
During the night an effort was made
to arouse him and get his name, but he
could not answer ay questions. Before
morning the Jailer became alarmed as to
his condition, and after consulting the
Captain summoned the City Physician.
The fracture In hlsskull did not show
plainly, and his actions were so similar
to those of a man suffering from delirium
tremens that he was treated for this
ailment. Three of four times during the
next few days the doctor was called,
but the patient grew rapidly worse.
In the meantime Larsen's son had
missed him, and knowing of his father's
shortcomings, Immediately went to the
police station to look for him. As there
was no charge against him, the word dis
charged appeared on tho police docket op
posite his name, and there was nothing
in the records to show that the man was
still sick and In the cell. The Captain,
looking at the docket, told the boy that
John Larsen had been there, but had been
discharged. When his son finally found
hlmw-he was given every possible care,
but could not be saved.
Dr. Cardwell, who was called after the
man was removed to the hospital, did not
believe that his patient had delirium tre
mens, and after his death yesterday held
a post mortem. It was found that his
skull had been cracked, and that he died
from cerebral concussion.
Coroner Flnley was asked to investigate
the treatment the ojd man had received,
and last night said:
"I do not think that any one Is to blamo
in the matter. I think that every one
concerned did all that they could. The
ay Jail Is very poorly arranged to handle
soch cases, and the city officials should
take some steps' to provide a place where
such men can be kept. I do not hesitate
to say that the city officials are respon
sible for that man's death. I believe he
could have been saved if he had' had
proper treatment.
"Instead of putting him in a good, clean
room, the officers put him in tho only
place they had, a cell with a large num
ber of criminals. I am sure that he must
have been kicked and catcn as he lay un
conscious in the coll, or his body was
black and blue with bruises."

Seven thousand dollars has been ex
pended by the Portland Railway Company
In the purchase of a hardened center steel
crossing to be laid at the Intersection of
the car tracks at Fifth and Washington
streets. One carload of the material has
already arrived, and as soon as the sec
ond car comes from tho East the crossing
will be placed.
This crossing will be similar to that In
stalled last year by the City & Suburban
Company at Third and Morrison streets.
Curved turnouts will bo placed so that
cars may turn cither way upon Fifth
street going either east or west. The
crossing at this point is now in bad shape,
the rails lying loosely upon the pavement
and moving several inches up or down
whenever a car passes over.

The gypsies driven out of Alblna by tho
combined action of the police and health
committee are bound for San Francisco,
but will probably take their time on the

Unlawful to Have Venison.
Several persons have Inquired why there
Is no venison In the markets these days,
and wantjto know If there axe no deer In
Oregon. There are plenty of deer In U1I9
state and they are Increasing rapidly since
the pracUce of hunUng them for their
skins has been stopped, but the close sea
son for bucks extends from November 1
to July 15 of the following year and for
docs to August 15. During this closed sea
son It Is unlawful to hunt deer or have
venison In possession for barter or ex
change, so It Is not possible to have any
on the markets at this Ume. There are
more than a" few deen along the hills west
o ftown between this city and Unnton,
which used to be a favorite hunUng place
for them when hounding them was al
lowed. A prominent business man of this
city, still d young man, has shot many
deer along the section menUoned and says
that now he could Jump up two or three
deer there any day. Less than IS years
ago his hound ran a deer down tho upper
end of" Washington street and It Jumped
down into the canyon where the Exposi
tion building now stands and disappeared.
He never could find out what became of
It tiU a few days ago when N. A. King
told him that he shot the deer and took
It home. A. N. King at that time had a
tanyacd where the field of the Multnomah
Athletic Club now Is, and his boys secured
a number of deer there which were being
chased by hounds and plunged down into
the creek there to escape. One would
hardly Imagine now that deer were chased
by hounds down Washington street IS
years ago. '
