u THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1903. NEW KIND OF BEER Power of Pendleton Beverage Decided in Court. IT WAS SOLD TO INDIANS Federal Jury Says It Is No Crime to Beat a Cash-Paying Slot Ma chine by Feeding It Lead Slugs. Yesterday was "odds and ends" day In the Federal Court, and a number of minor cases occupied tho attention of the Judge and jurors. The main point at Issue In tho cases at bar, were: Is there any dif ference between Pendleton beer and a mixture called sarsaparilla and lron7 and. Is It a crime to beat a slot machine by feeding It on lead slugs? Expert testi mony of various kinds was Introduced relative to the former question, but the Jury decided that the difference was so slight as not to be discernible by ocular Inspection. It was also decided that It it is no crime to work a "skin" game on a slot machine by means of lead slugs, provided the machine does not balk at the method of procedure. The principal case of the day was that of Frank Damain, a saloonkeeper of Pendleton, who was accused of selling beer to an Indian named Fred Parr, from the Umatilla reservation. Another case of a similar nature was on the docket, and a number of red men, attired In gaily col ored blankets and other gaudy Indian decorations, squatted about on the court room floor listening to the proceedings. One witness testified that he saw Damain place two glasses of what seemed to be beer on the counter and Parr drank tho contents of one glass. Parr testified that the beverage was known as Pendle ton beer. The defense showed that Parr had on another occasion declared that he drank sarsaparilla and iron, and that the saloon man had never sold him liquor. It was shown that Damain and the Indian had had a light because the former would not sell him liquor, and that he had declared he would get even with Damain by ac cusing him of selling liquor to Indians. Judge James Fee, attorney for the de fendant, and John Parks, a real estate man of Pendleton, gave testimony about the resemblance between Pendleton ber and sarsaparilla and iron. They declared that they had tested the beverages and that no one could tell the difference be tween them by looking at them. They de clared that Pendleton beer had no more foam than sarsaparilla and that some of It didn't have as much. Damain, the de fendant, swore that It was sarsaparilla and iron that the Indian drank, and the Jury decided likewise. The defendant was accordingly discharged. The next case was that of John King, accused of feeding lead slugs into a slot machine In a Baker City saloon. It was alleged that he "broke" one machine by this method and was beating the others at a rapid rate when he was detected. The prosecution could not show who owned the machines. Consequently, the court held that it was not shown that any one was being defrauded by the use of the lead slugs unless it was the ma chine. It was held that it was an essen tial part of the case to show that some onev was being defrauded, and on account of this defect, the case was declared in complete. The jury found the defendant not guilty without leaving the jury box. Considerable amusement was occasioned by the remark of the court that the ma chine appeared to have worked as well with the slugs as genuHie money, and he didn't think it was being defrauded. O. Plton, a French bartender of Pendle ton, was also before the court for selling liquor to Indians. It was charged that he dispensed of a bottle of gin to John Shumcain and Shet Too Mow NINi. These two typical redskins wrapped In their blankets, took the stand and with many grunts and gestures, told the court, through an interpreter, that Piton had sold them the "firewater." The jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to two months In the Pendleton jail and a 5100 fine. Tho Indian witnesses squatted on tho floor of the courtroom and wrap ping their blankets about them sat like statues until court adjourned. Captain Jack, a grizzled old Indian policeman, kept a watchful eye on them. In the afternoon they received their witness fees, carefully wrapped the checks in their bandanna handkerchiefs and went away, grunting and gesturing to each other. This morning at 10 o'clock the trial of Asa B. Thompson, Receiver of the Land Office at La Grande, on a charge of so liciting bribes to influence decisions on land-claim proofs, will be taken up. DIDN'T PASS COUNTERFEIT. Jury Refoses to Convict Austin Wells of Dividing the Spoils. The jury in the case of Austin Wells, accused of passing a counterfeit gold coin at La Grande, a short time ago, returned a verdict of not guilty yesterday. The case was tried in the Federal Court Saturday. The evidence went to show that a counterfeit $5 gold piece was passed In Pollock's Restaurant through the con nivance of a waiter. A party -ot four young men, two of whom pleaded guilty to the charge, divided the money obtained in exchange for the bogus coin, and it was shown that "Wells was one of the four. The evidence did not show, how ever, that Wells had connived to pass the coin in the restaurant or that he had had anything to do with the exchange of it. So far as the testimony disclosed, his only connection with the affair was to re ceive a portion of the spoils, it could not be proved that this was done with the knowledge of how tho good coin was ob tained.

In 1901 there were 57 city precincts, and only 13 county precincts, while in 1S99 thero were 26 county precincts and 54 city precincts, making a total of SO. The reduction of the number of county precincts for the 1901 election was tho result of the law providing for the elec tion of road supervisors. This act provid ed that no road district should comprise more than ono election precinct. If the precincts were allowed to remain as they were in 1S99 it would have been neces- sary to elect 28 road supervisors. No such number of road supervisors were required, there being only 11 in service at the time the law to elect went into operation. The County Court to overcomo tho difficulty, consolidated tho precincts, two for one, which made 13 precincts and 13" road su pervisors. , Tho statute for the election of road supervisors has been repealed, and they will bo appointed by the Board of County Commissioners in January, as in the past, and the election precincts are to be changed back pretty much as they were In 1S99 and previously. There will be an exception in "West Port land, which will have two election pre cincts Instead of one, and the eastern part of the county in tho vicinity of Bridal Veil will constitute one big elec tion precinct, tho same as in 190L There are not a great many voters in this ter ritory. In the city limits thero are a few changes in precinct boundaries, so as to equalize the vote. There are now only 10 wards in the city, there being only six wards on the west side, wheVe before there were seven. On this account some changes have been made. Precinct boundaries have been kept Within, ward lines, but this is not necessary so far as the county elec tion is concerned, and at the next city election, which occurs in 1905, the city of ficials arrange their own precinct bound- arles and appoint their own Judges and clerks of election. i.fAM-ro rMoDorr amh. ahiiamv WANTS DIVORCE AND ALIMONY.

The state will endeavor to show that Bauman fired directly at Burkhardt and that the shooting was not accidental. The defense will endeavor to establish a contrary state of facts and to convince the jury that Bauman was only protecting" his homo and property when he discharged his rifle, and had he not been aroused from sleep by a fusillade of shots by Fuller, Burkhardt and others, nothing would have happened.

Sheriff Storey Removes Chief Deputy, and Offers H. C. Smith the Job. James Stott was removed as chief deputy iiu the Sheriffs office yesterday by Sheriff W. A. Storey, who notified Mr. Stott in writing that his commission would be revoked and that his services were no longer required. Sheriff Storey says it was only a per sonal matter between them and that he had not one word to say concerning Mr. Stott's honesty or efficiency, and so In formed him in the letter of dismissal. Mr. Stott declined to discuss the sub ject with an Oregonlan reporter, remark ing simply that ho was out. After disposing of Mr. Stott, Sheriff Storey waited upon Herbert C. Smith, Chief Deputy Clerk. In tho State Circuit Court, and offered him the vacant place. the salary of which is $150 per month, while Mr. Smith now receives only 5100, but still ho was not tempted to make a change and told the Sheriff so. Mr. Smith said he appreciated the offer, but his relations with County Clerk Fields were very pleasant and he did not think it would be fair to leave him. James Stott was appointed chief deputy in the Sheriff's office because of politi cal influence, and it is stated that he assisted in the election of Storey. It has been known in Courthouse circles for a long tlmo that the relations between Sheriff Storey and Mr. Stott were strained and that the sheriff was anxious to get rid- of his chief deputy and several times threatened to discharge him. i Herbert C. Smith, has a considerable political following and some say this fact influenced Sheriff Storey to offer him tho chief deputyshlp, but this tho Sheriff denies. He alleges that there is J no politics in It whatever, that ho re- r moved Stott for personal reasons and offered Smlth tho position bocause of his competency, and still hopes that he will accept.

So damaging was the evidence present ed against John Thompson, alias L. Con nors, of Denver, and Bert Coble, charged with holding up the South Portland Ex change saloon, 643 Fourth street, two weeks ago, that Municipal Judge Hogue yesterday bound them over to the grand Jury. They were held under $2000 bonds," which they were unable to furnish, and will therefore spend tho time in the county jail. The defense had no testimony to offer. and, though Attorney J. T. Logan tried to shake the evidence of the witnesses for the prosecution he could not convince the court of his clients' innocence. Sam Phillips, a colored porter, was the star witness for the prosecution. Thomp son had asked him where it was possible to dispose of Jewelry with no Questions asked. Then he told the negro that he and an accomplice had committed the robbery of the Italian saloon at 643 Fourth street. Sergeant Carpenter had asked what he knew about the robbery, and he repeated Thompson's words. "Aren't you a stool pigeon for Carpen ter?" asked Logan, but the porter stoutly denied It. Nlchola Casclato, ono of the proprietors of the saloon, could not positively identi fy Thompson and Coble, but said there was a strong resemblance. G. McKew, the only American In the saloon at the time of tho hold-up, gave practically tho same testimony. Sergeant Carpenter told how he found four skeleton keys in Thompson's trous er legs. Thompson also maintained two separate fcooms on First street. American Weapon Best In World. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.

The serpent sinks its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes through the entire body. Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little ulcer, soon contaminates every drop of blood and spreads throughout the whole system. Painful swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and copper colored splotches break out on the body, the mouth and throat become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fall out ; but these symptoms are mild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the body. It is then that Contagious Blood Poison is seen in all its hideous ness. The deep eating abscesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show the whole system is corrupted and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon this serpent disease tightens its coils and crushes out the life.
