T. G. Halley, the District Attorney, was
formerly Mayor of the town, and was
elected on the anti-gambling ticket. Dur
ing his administration gambling was
forced upstairs and almost completely
stamped out. Xast December W. F. Mat
lock was elected Mayor, to succeed Halley,
on a gambling ticket. When he assumed
control of affairs tho first of January the
word was passed around that the town
would be wide open.
Gambling games sprang up like mush
rooms over night, and every house was
running full blast within a day or two.
The boss gamblers, eight In number, were
brought up before the City Recorder and
fined $150 each. It being understood that
amount would entitle them to run for
three months. Gamblers flocked in from
all parts of the Northwest, and tho town
became fast.
When Haiiey's Chance Came.
District Attorney Hailey threatened to
close them, but could not get sufficient
evidence. He wanted Xa make a cl6an
sweep or none at alL Chance favored
him, and one night a b6oster in Lester
Swaggarfs gambling-house sat down and
played faro, . beating the bank out of
something over 5100. He then gathered up
his winnings and started to pocket them.
The dealer called a halt, but the booster
said he had been playing bis own money.
Immediately the booster was looking
down the barrel of a big six-shooter, and
he disgorged his winnings.
The matter was reported to the police,
but they could do nothing, so to get even
the booster went to District Attorney
Halley, and gave the names of every boss
gambler and dealer In the city. Circuit
Court convenes here Monday, and Mr.
Halloy prepared the Informations and they

Arrested Every One In Sight.
The informations were recorded about 3
o'clock and by 4 o'clock the officers were
quietly walking Into tho gambling places
armed with the necessary papers and ar
rested every man either running games or
playing at the table, regardless of whether
or not they had the warrant. Deputy
Sheriff Joe Blakoly started to herd the
men in a cigar store on Main street as
fast as they were arrested, but soon the
quarters became crowded, and he moved
them down the street to the rear of a
saloon, which was soon well filled with
anxious and frightened gamblers, dealers
and boosters.
Will Probably Be Fined.
The entire list will be arraigned before
Circuit Judge Ellis Saturday morning, and
It Is understood that they will be fined
$100 each. District Attorney Halley says

ASTORIA YOUTH KILLS HIMSELF
Driven to Desperation by the Ravages
of Consumption.
ASTORIA. Or.. Feb. 12. (Special.) De
spondent through continued 111 health and
the almost certain knowledge that he
could never recover. Burr Osburn, son of
Mr. and Mrs. K. Osburn, and one of tho
most popular and promising young men
of this city, ended his life this evening by
shooting himself in the brain.
Tho young man was paying teller In the
First National Bank, where he had been
employed since 1S9S. About two years ago
lie was stricken with consumption and
spent nearly a year In Southern California
for the benefit of his health, returning last
July much improved and resumed his
former position. Since then his health
was fairly good until last night he had
another hemorrhage. During today he
appeared somewhat despondent, and told
liis brother he could not live much longer,
but gave no Intimation that he Intended
to end his life.
Immediately after finishing his supper
about 7 o'clock this evening Burr hurried
from the table and went up stairs to his
room. A moment later the family heard
a sharp report, as if something had fallen,
and when Austin Osburn went to investi
gate he found his brother lying on the
bed. It appears the young man on going
to his room had sat on the edge of his
bed, placed a 44-calIber navy revolver to
jhls forehead above the right eye and

pulled the trigger. The bullet pierced the
brain, and death must have resulted in
stantly. By bis side was a book on the
flyleaf of which he had written the fol
lowing message, which he had signed:
"Don't feel badly. I have, tried every
way In God's world to get well, but can't.
God's will and what is his will should
be ours. Good-bye."
The deceased was, 21 years of age. having
been borri in Pacific County, Washington,
in May, 1882. but ha6 lived here nearly all
his life. Ho left besides his parents, one
brother, Austin Osburn, who Is also an
employe of the First National Bank. He
was & young man of exemplary habits
and was held in high esteem by his em
ployers, as well as by the whole com
munity. DYING MAN NOT VENGEFUL.
Halgarth Could Have Slain Gray and
His Son.
UNION. Or., Feb. 12.-SpecIalO At
noon today the state completed its ex
amination In chief In the Woodson-Gray
murder case that Is now on trial in the
Circuit Court here. It appears from the
evidence that March 20, 1903. the defen
dant and his son. Wade Gray, who was
codeferidant In the first trial of this case,
were on their way from their home to
the district choolhouso to meet the Board
of Directors to settle some difficulty that
had arisen between tho defendant's chil
dren and some other pupils, which had
resulted in the expelling of one of Gray's
children.
Gray had armed himself with a pistol
before starting on this trip. Upon passing
the farm of A. M. Halgarth, ho met Hal-

day. garth in the road and after some words
had passed between them, Gray pulled out
his pistol and shot Halgarth, from the
effects of which he died shortly after
wards. Before expiring he made a dec
laration which was reduced to writing
and introduced in evidence.
Halgarth was unarmed and when Gray
threatened to shoot him. he endeavored
to prevent this by taking the weapon
from him, when the fatal shot was fired.
The defendant claims that he thought
Halgarth intended to take the weapon
from him and kill him, and that he shot
In self-defense. Halgarth was a man 40
years of age and very powerful, and Gray
was 55 years old and of a frail build.
After Halgarth had thrown Gray to the
ground and taken the pistol from him.
Gray called upon his boy. Wade, to take
his knife and cut him off, as he was kill
ing him. The boy took his pocket-knife
and stabbed him in the back several
times.
Halgarth then arose, but did not use the
pistol upon his assailants, although he
had It in his hand. The case will prob
ably cloe tomorrow.

TALCOTT FOR TREASURER
THURSTON COUNTY MAN AN
NOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY.
Severe Blow at the Scobey-Madge-Lord
Faction. Delivered by the
"Boxer" Partisans.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 12.-(Speclal.)-
eorge N. Talcotr, of this city, today
formally announced his Intention to stand
for the Republican nomination for State
Treasurer before the coming Republican
State Convention.
Mr. Talcott Is widely known in Thurs
ton County and Southwest Washington,
being the senior partner in the Jewelry
house of Talcott Bros., established 31
years ago In Qlympla. Mr. Talcott comes
from the well-known Talcott family, of
Pike County, Illinois, where he was born.
He came West In 1S73 and located in
Olympla. His brother Charles had pre
ceded him and established tho house
which bears their name.
Although Mr. Talcott has never active
ly engaged in politics before to the ex
tent of becoming a candidate for any of
fice, he has nevertheless been identified for
some time with the forces in Thurston
County that are opposed to the somewhat
famed "Scobey-Madge-Lord ring." The
announcement of his candidacy is in line
with the promise made some weeks ago
by tho "boxers" that they would in due
time present the name of a candidate for
State Treasurer from this city and at
tempt to wrest control of Republican poli
tics from the "ring" aforementioned.
Almost Immediately following the as
surance that C. J. Lord would be a can
didate for the Republican nomination for
Governor the men opposed to him hit upon
the plan of bringing out a State Treasurer
candidate. It was believed that this
would bo the severest blow that could be
struck the dominating faction, because it
was believed that the stockholders of the
Capital National Bank, of which Mr. Lord
is president, would bo fearful that there
sult of the factional fight thus brought on
would lose to the bank the state deposits,
the advantage of which the Capital Na
tional Bank has enjoyed for many years,
with the result that It Is now one of the
wealthiest institutions In the state. To
use an expressive slang term, they hope
to Tattle" the Lord people.
And truly the success of George N. Tal
cott over Mr. Lord in the coming fight
for control of the Republican County Con
vention would endanger the continued
enjoyment by Mr. Lord's bank of the
state's deposits, while the success of Mr.
Talcott before the State Convention and
his subsequent election to the office he
seeks would undoubtedly result In a trans
fer of the state funds, averaging nearly
$1,000,000, to the Olympla National Bank.
Among Mr. Talcott's earnest supporters
are President C. S. Rlnehart and the other
officers of the Olympla National Bank,
and in addition be will have the support
of the friends of Governor McBrldo, -fall
of what Is termed the "boxer" element
and the Dally Recorder. GovernolMcj
Bride, although he has kept somewhalETln
the background In tie active worjcjif,
bringing- out Mr. Talcott, has bgen.
anxious. It Is said, to have a candidate'
for State Treasurer announced from
Thurston County. His Interests are not
wholly confined to securing a Thurston
County delegation, which if for Talcott
will undoubtedly be for McBrlde, but In
outting off all attempts to form a South
west antl-McBrlde combination.
The first effort in this, county toward
bringing out a candidate for State Treas
urer. Involved the name of th present
County Treasurer, A. A. Phillips. Mr.
Phillips has the unusual faculty of com
manding the political and personal friend
ship of men in both factions of the party.
The advice of the Lord mea was appar
ently "given the "most weight, however,
for a short time ago Mr. Phillips, after
considering the matter for several weeks,
definitely Tefused to become a candidate.
Efforts were then directed toward se
curing a candidate who wquld. have the
strength incident to long residence In the
county, personal integrity and freedom
from the enmity of any considerable num
ber of men throughout th county. The
result was today's announcement -of Mr.
Talcott's candidacy. ' '
A leading argument by the "boxers" in
favor of Mr. Talcott will be that Mr.
Lord's candidacy is so far only a tenta
tive one; that he has not published a
definite announcement of his purpose to
run for Governor, and that a definite an
nouncement of his candidacy at this time
will place his supporters in the light of
being obstructionists. As a matter of
act, however, Mr. Lord's candidacy Is
fully recognised, at least by his support
ers, who will, of course. In turn, accuse
the Talcott men of obstructing the even
tenor of the party's way in this county.
That the fight will finally resolve into
a McBrlde and anti-McBride contest is
freoly predicted. . --

C. W. Jones, of this city, has secured a
five -years' lease from the American Min
ing Company, of Helena, Mont., to the
white Monument, Peacock and Helena
claims In the famous Seven Devils copper
district. These mines arc among the best
developed In the district. They are In good
shape for mining operations, being
equipped with steam hoisting plants,
drills and other machines. Mr. Jones ex
pects to have 50 miners at work in the
mines within the next four or five weeks.
Mr. Jones will either ship the ore or
sell to the Ladd Metals Company for re
duction at their smelter at Homestead,
Or. It Is thought the opening up of these

PLIES UNFAVORABLY.
Danger of Infection From Texas Cat
tle Fever and the Rangs Is
Crowded.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 12. (Special.)
Governor McBrlde today sent an unfavor
able reply to Governor Pardee's inquiry
regarding admittance of California's
starving cattle, to this state.
Governor McBrlde quotes Attorney-General
Stratton's opinion to the effect that
there is no law prohibiting clean cattle
being brought Into the state, but also
quotes a section of the statute prohibit
ing the introduction of cattle Infected
with Texas or Spanish fever and penalties
for violation. The Governor concludes:
"I call your attention to these provi
sions for the reason that It Is claimed by
some that Southern California Is within
the area infected by what Is known as
'the Texas cattle fever.' The range in
this state, especially at this season of
the year. Is crowded to its full capacity.
Outside of any legal questions involved
it would be useless to conceal the fact
that our people would not look kindly
upon the shipping of your cattle into this
state."
DAIRYMEN BEGINNING TO THINK
Unprofitable Cows Go to the Butcher
-Care of the Milk.
SALEM, On, Feb. 12.-(Special.)-Dalry-lng
In Marlon County 13 assuming a more
permanent character by the adoption of
more businesslike mothodst The high price
of feed in the last year has set farmers
figuring upon the value of the milk prod
uct as compared with the value of feed
consumed, with the result that many un
profitable cows have been turned into
beef. Though farmers have been striving
to Increase their dairy herds, the Com
mercial Creamery Company, of this city,
finds that the number of milk cows has
not Increased, owing to the fact that so
many of the poor ones have gone to the
butcher. The quality has Improved, how
ever, and there - a less number of farm
ers who will complain that dairying does
not pay.
The operation of a largo creamery In
Portland, as recently announced, will
probably bo of advantage to dairymen In
providing them a larger market and con
sequently a more active competition for
the purchase of their products. Relative
ly, prices paid here and In Portland are
not likely to be changed. The price paid
In Salem for butter fat is always U cent
below wie price paid m Portland, this dif
ference representing jhe difference In
freight. The price Is fixed in Portland,
and when the creameries are active In
buying, the farmers feel sure of getting
the top price. The creamery here Is turn
ing out 1000 pounds of butter per week, at
the dullest season -.of the year, and ex
pects to do about the same amount of
work in 1904 as In 1903. Not until farmers
can build up their herds with good milk
ers will the output of creameries of this
vicinity oe materially Increased.
Clyda Bonney, who operates the M. L.
Jones farm, near Brooks, has adopted a
plan which enables him to secure a price
for his mhK 10 cents per hundred higher
than that paid to his neighbors, and even
a better price relatively may be secured.
He filters his milk before It goes Into the
pall, and thereby makes it very notice
ably superior In both taste and keeping
qualities. Each milk pail has a strainer
over the top. The strainer consists of
two sheets of gauze, with, a layer of ab
sorbent cotton between them. As the milk
comes from the cow it passes through this
filter arid all Impurities are removed. Foul
substances that would otherwise drop
into the pall while milking are thus kept
out.
Tests have shown that the milk will keep
twice as long as that strained after mil
lng In the ordinary way. The use of tho
filter takes no extra time and no extra
expense worth mentioning. The proprie
tors of the Commercial Creamery express
the hope that other farmers will adopt a
Similar '.method; for it tends to improve
the creamery product and build up a good
reputation for Oregon dairies. This meth
od they believe would be particularly ben
eficial in dairies furnishing milk to con
sumers in this city.
Chamberlain Explains to Pardee.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) Gover
nor Chamberlain today wrote Governor
Pardee, of California, explaining in full
the reasons why California cattle cannot
be admitted to this state unless they pass

given was that Oregon cattle might be
infected. x
The Governor also wired the Secretary
of Agriculture at Washington, In answer
to the Secretary's request of yesterday,
and asked whether the department will

ROAD-BUILDING IN JACKSON.
Applegate Mining Region Opened Up
--Jack True Runs the Grader.
JACKSONVILLE, Or., Feb. 12. (Spe
cial.) The wagon road that Jackson
County Is having constructed on the Up
per Applegate, from Unlontown to Joe's
Bar, Is nearing completlcn. The section
of road to be built I3 over 12 miles in
length and will cost about J8000. The
first section has been completed by E. G.
Perham, the contractor, and the County
Court, after examining it, has accepted
it and Issued a warrant to Mr. Perham
for $2980, the amount of the contract. The
other sections of the road, under contract
to George Ferman, will not be completed
before April 1, as some heavy rock work
has to be done. This road follows tho
Applegate River and will open a rich
mining district as well as a fine stock
section.
The County Court has adopted a new
plan for road work. Instead of having
any and everybody operating the county
road grader, making failure more fre
quent than success in the quality and the
quantity of road work done, the machine
will be placed under the control of Jack
True, one of the best road graders in the
county, who, with a 10-horse team, will
do all the grading that the county will
have done on the roads this year. The
foreman of the rockcrusher crew has
not been selected by the County Court,
but will be at the next term of court.

MASS 0 SORES
Awful Suffering of a Boy
from in Itching
faour.
GORED BYGUTIGORA
Ml One Square Inch of Skin od
His Whole Body Was
Unaffected.
My little son, a boy of ire, brofc
out with an Itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, bat he kcpl
getting worse until we could not dresi
him ny more. They flaally adTlsed
me to try a certain medical college, but
Its treatment did not do any good. A(
the time I was Induced to try Cuticcn
Remedies he was so bad that I had ta
cut his hair off aad pat the Cuticurx
Ointment on him os bandages, as It wax
Impossible to toach him wlti the bar
hand. There was not one square Ind
of skin on his whole body that was not
affected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and In removing thcra It used to take
the skin off with them, and.the screami
from the poor child were heart-break,
ing. I began to thlak tint he would
never get -well, but after the secoad
application of Cutlcura Ointment
began to see signs of improvement,
and with the third and fourth applica
tions the sores commenced to dry up.
Eis skin peeled off twenty times, bat It
finally yielded to the treatment. I used
the Cuticura Resolvent for his blood,
and now I can e&y that he Is entirely
cured, ami a stronger aad healthier boy
you never saw than he Is to-day."
