TOO OLD TO STEAL
Aged Pioneer Declines Pension
as an Indian War Veteran.
TRICKED BY HIS INFIRM MIND
William R. Reynolds-Believed for a
Time He Fought in Mounted Vol
unteers in t855-56, but
Finds He Is Mistaken.
SAL.EM. Or.. March 2S. (Special.) Mis
taken -2n his own identity Is the reason
William. R. Reynolds, of Gold Hill, Jack
son County, gives for his having filed ap
plication for compensation as an Indian
Wax veteran and later refusing to take
the money. He was allowed 5126, and no
objection had been made to his receiving
the money, but at his own request Secre
tary of State Dunbar did not Issue him a
warrant for the money.
In July, 1903, Anderson made application
for payment under the appropriation
made by the Legislature of 1903 for vet
erans of the Indian wars of 1S55-56, and
swore that be was a member of Captain
Ben Hayden's company in the First Regi
ment of mounted volunteers. His state
ment was supported by the sworn state
ment of Squire Griffln, of Sam's Valley,
Jackson County, who says he was a mem
ber of the same company, and also by the
sworn statement of Thomas Carr. who
says he was a member of Company E, of
the same regiment, and was with Reyn
olds during the war and knows him to be
the same man.
The muster rolls of the regiment show
that there was a "William R. Reynolds In
the regiment, and upon the showing made
Adjutant-General Gantenbeln approved
the claim for the amount due.
Reynold? has recently written the Sec
retary of State, saying that he has found
that be is not the man entitled to the
money, that he believed the witnesses who
swore he was. the right person, and there
fore made the application, but, having
discovered his mistake, desires to correct
it. He. explains Tils error by saying thai
he is 71 years old, of feeble memory, and.
subject to attacks of mental derangement.
He says he has never done a dishonest
act. and Is too old to begin now.
His application was made upon blanks
furnished by the late T. A. Wood.
CODE IS CHANGED.
Last Legislature Repealed or Amend
ed 260 Sections.
SALEM. Or.. March 2S. (Special.)
''Bellinger and Cotton won't recognize the
code that bears their names," said a
prominent lawyer today, when he learned
that the last Legislature amended or re
. pealed 260 sections of the code. Three
cessions of the Legislature have taken
a turn at amending the laws since the
Bellinger and Cotton code was compiled,
and probably four or five sessions more
will have a chance at It before another
compilation will be made.
The authorized W. Lair Hill code was
published In 18S7. and this compilation did
service for 13 years, though thore was an
unau"thori:jd compilation made In 1S32,
which largely supplanted the S7 compil
ation. It the Bellinger and Cotton com
pilation remains in use ten or fifteen
years there will apparently be little of
It left In its original form.
Lawyers, Judges and public officers all
over the stale will find the Index of the
published copy of the sessions laws of
1905 of Invaluable service to them In
making pen annotations in their codes,
for Attorney A. O. Condit. who prepared
the index, has made a complete list of
all sections amended or repealed, to
gether with the chapter and page of the
cession laws upon which the new law
will be found.
Heretofore each attorney has had to
search the session laws page by page to
find the changes and then note them on
the margin of his copy of the code. The
published copy of the session laws has
never contained a list of sections amend
ed. The work of annotating a code has
been such a big task that many attor
neys left It undone. With the old of the
list prepared by Mr. Condit an atorney
or public officer can In a few moments
note on the margin of his code every
change made at the session of 1003.
The session laws will be ready for dis
tribution In about two weeks. As the
laws do not go Into effect until May 18,
this will be In time for lawyers, judges,
justices of the peace'and public officers
to find out what the new laws are be
fore they must observe them.
FAKER GIVES UP HIS PR&CENSE
Norman Davenport Gets Out of Salem
on "Paralyzed" Legs.
SALEM, Or.. March 28. (Special.)
While lying in bed in the Salem Hos
pital this afternoon, pretending to be
so badly paralyzed In his lower limbs
that he could not help himself, Norman
Davenport was Informed by Df. Byrd
that his deception had been discovered.
He protested his Jnnocence until proof
of former tricks had been shown him.
and then he obediently crawled out of
bed. donned his clothes and walked out
of the hospital, limping slightly for
appearance' sake. He walked down
town, procured his grip and departed
for greener fields.
That Davenport Is an athlete, as he
claims, there can be no doubt, and Dr.
Byrd pronounces him the best faker
he ever saw. On the day he was taken
to the hospital, needles wore thrust
Into his legs to test them for paralysis
and he did not once flinch under the
punishment.

and relief furnished the prisoners.

The Megordon family, consisting of the

spected. For a long time Megordon had
been addicted to fits of intense Jealousy,
which bad been so marked as to make
him conspicuous, though in the popular
mind no suspicion has ever attached to
Mra Megordon. The husband's frame of
mind had led to many scenes between the
couple, and the relations had latterly be
come so strained that It had. It is said,
been mutually agreed that the divorce
court should be Invoked as the only rem
edy. Megordon was on the streets of Nyssa
this afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, and seemed

and on overtaking her shot at her three
or four times at close range. One shot
took effect in her side. and. it would ap
pear, proved almost Instantly fatal.
When Mrs. Megordon fell. Megordon
turned the gun on himself and Inflicted
a wound, pronounced so trifling, that his
serious Intention In firing it is. one of
the questions the Coroner's jury will
probably bo asked to consider. Ho came
back to Nyssa at once and asked surgical
attention.
When those first at the side of the
stricken woman arrived she was dead
where rhe had fallen. The local authori
ties have taken care of the case thus
far, but the county authorities have been

that his assassins had eaten his heart,
brain and pieces of flesh from his thigh.
Certain of the Chinese of that region
practice cannibalism. I have heard them
say that tha flesh of foreigners Is very
toothsome and their bones make good
bouillon. Father Vlctorien was killed at

murder In Hopeh was the killing of
Bishop Tbeotlme'and three other priests

SWEENY SELLS OUT
Stock in Federal Company
Goes to Guggenheims,
PROPERTY IN C0EUR D'ALENES
Rich Idaho Mining Section Produced
Last Year Half of All the De
silverized Lead .in the
United States.
SPOKANE. "Wash., March 2S. (Special.)
Advices from New Tork say that
Charles Sweeny, of Spokane, has sold his
stock in the Federal Mining &. Smelting
Company for J2.660.0). There seems little
doubt that Mr. Sweeny has sold his stock,
although there Is some uncertainty as to
the figure.
It Is believed control of the Federal
has passed to the Guggenheim Interest,
which dominates the American Smelting
& Refining Company. The annual meeting
was held Monday. March 20, in New York
City, and there was not apparently much
of a radical change In the personnel of
the directorate.
Federal common stock, which carries
the voting power, disappeared off the
New York Stock Exchange the same day.
The Inference Is that It has been picked
up by- the new control. Its disappear
ance from the stock list Is the climax
of an extraordinary boom In Federal
common, during which the stock has been
forced upward from about 540 to Jllfl a
share. Tho nominal causo for the ad
vance was the change in the dividend
