SEIZED HIS SHOTGUN
Slaughter, Sorely Wounded,
Sought to Defend Himself.
TRAIL OF BLOOD TO HOUSE
Woodburn Constable Tells of the
Confession -Made to Him' by
Itemlngloii Soon After
tlie Shooting.
WOODBURN. Or.. Nov. 26. (Special.)
Tlie preliminary hearing of Eugene I
Remington, charged with assault upon
W. W. Slaughter with a dangerous weap
on with intent to kill, was held before
Justice Hayes this afternoon at 1 o'clock.
Thomas Brown representing the state and
Grant Corby and L. E. Ranch for the de
fense. All of tne evidence was not ad
duced and an adjournment was taken at
6 o'clock until tomorrow morning, when
the deposition of the wounded man will be
taken, and the defense will probably offer
evidence, including a . statement from
Keminglon, whose plea was not guilty.
The interest taken In the case is so in
tense that the Justice secured Association
Hall, which was packed with people. The
witnesses who testified for the state were:
Tr. 0'l,eary, H. I Moore, Harry Reeves,
P.. H. Pcott, W. N. Harris, Albert Pender,
Mrs. Pomeroy. O. S. Pomcroy. W. M.
Bird, t'onstable Beach and Deputy Sheriff
William Kscli. Some of these witnesses
testltied to seeing Remington leave last
Thursday In the direction of Slaughter's
place 2'4 miles east and carrying a, rifle.
To one question he said he was going to
line up some ".sights."
Dr. Leary testified to attending Slaugh
ter professionally and having him re
moved to Woodburn. He found Slaughter
suffering and in great pain from a gun
shot wound in the left shoulder, the bullet
having entered at the tip, passed under
the sliouldeiblade, piercing 14 inches and
lodging at the backbone. He extracted a
mushroomed bullet. The wound made
was fan-shaped, the bullet fracturing the
shoulder-bone and tearing the muscles.
No vital spot was touched, bur the man
suffered greatly from shock. He has had
a secondary hemorrhage and is In a very
weak condition, his chances being even.
A small missile has destroyed his left
eye.
Other evidence was that at about 2
o'clock that afternoon Slaughter was
plowing in his garden and had just turned
and started the plow on another furrow,
the handles of the plow being toward the
west, when he was fired upon by some
one standing 189 feet distant at a spot
by a fallen tree and the top of an incline
from Pudding River. As soon as he was
struck Slaughter ran Into his house
through the kitchen, seized his shotgun,
width was In the dining-room, and went
out by the front door yelling and calling
for help and leaving & trail of blood be
hind. When Slaughter got Into the road Al
hei t Pender came out of his gate, took
tlie) gun fromhim and helped him to
I'omeroy's house, near by. Pender had
heard two or three shots, and then
Slaughter shouting. From the shotg-un
he took two loaded shells, which were
produced, as well as two pickets that
had been perforated hy bullets.
An examination of the ground showed
that the man who did the shooting- fired
through an open space In a board fence
nnd a picket fence. At the spot where
he stood three 30-30 Savage rifle shells
were subsequently found.
To those about him after he was shot
Slaughter stated that he did not see.
the person who shot him, that it was
some of the gang that had been trying
to run him out of there all Summer.
He 'did not think Charley Coldren had
nerve enough to shoot, it must be Rem
ington. He had gotten into an awful
mess when he married into that Col
dren family. He thought Remington
shot him. and Mrs. Slaughter, his di
vorced wife, was at the bottom of it.
Constable Beach testified that he met
Itemington on Hardcastle avenue after
the shooting. He did not say anything
to him then, but followed him into his
store, and as soon as Beach entered
Remington said:
"I know what you're after. Take a
chair and I'll tell you all about it."
Remington said that he had stood It
ns long as he could. His building had
been tired and his life threatened, and
lie couldn't stand it any longer, not
having slept for a long while. He went
to Slaughter's and fired three shots, the
lirst in the air, and heard Slaughter
yell like tlie dickens. He said he had
tiirown the rifle in tlie rivet, but after
ward told where he had hidden it on
Hardcastle avenue, under a fence, when
he saw two women approaching him.
The next day Beach, Deputy Sheriff
Ksch and Remington went and got the
pun. Beach stated that ho had known
Itemington for 21 years, and had never
hefore known of a charge against him.
Beach has been a police officer here
for over lii years. The rifle, shotgun
Khells and two pierced pickets were
placed In evidence.

JUCK LOOKED I.1KE A TRAMP
lilei'inun Shot at Salem Says He Did
Xot Come to Town on Blind Baggng
SALEM, Or., Nov. 26. (Spccial.1
Official Investigation today of the
nhootlng of Frank Dick yesterday by
Officer Busick brought startling de
velopments. Assuming that Dick had
beaten his way on the blind baggage
of a train, Buiiick attempted to nalt
Mm. and when he did not halt, fired to
scare him. but hit him in the back,
piercing his intestines, and probably
wounding .him fatally. .
Today Dick was fully conscious and
made a statement to a stenographer
employed by District Attorney Mc
Nary. Dick says ho did not come In on
that train, blind baggage or other
wise, hut was' in Salem since the day
before, and went to the depot that
morning to see about getting a ticket
for tlie boat. Being a stranger and'
Minable to speak English, he misunder
stood directions and went to the rail
road depot instead of the steamboat
docks.
He did not hear Officer Busick
speak to him: could not have under
stood if he had heard him. and did not
know ho was wanted until after he had
been shot; taken to the hospital and
the situation explained to him. He
declares he did not run, as Officer Dick
says he did.
Busick docs not say he saw Dick on
the blhid bangage of the train, or that
he suspected him of any crime that he
could name. Ho had read of some men
escaping somewhere in California, tut
where, or how, or why, he did not re
member. He thought Dick had come in
with others on the blind baggage;-that
he might be one of the escaped men,
and though the man was only a few
paces distant, shot to make him stop.
He sr.ys he intended to shoot to one
side of the man. but hit him accident
ally. Dick was roughly dressed, and,
according to Dr. Morse, who attended
him, he had the appearance of be
ing a tramp. Hospital officials were
authority for the published statement
that Dick was well dressed.

YOUTHS IN THE SADDLE
NEW REPUBLICAN CLUB DOMI
NATES ABERDEEN' COXVEXTIOJS
Dr. Chamberlain Heads Ticket That
Will Have Warm Contest With
the Citizens' Nominees.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Aberdeen having passed through
one of the liveliest campaigns ever known
on Gray's Harbor over the proposal of
county seat removal but a few weeks
ago. is now in the midst of a local cam
paign quite as warm as has ever been
known here. For the first time in the
history of the city a Republican conven
tion was held dominated by the recently
organized Young Men's Republican Club,
which did yeomen service for some of
the candidates in the county campaign.
The club is composed of a lot of con
scientious young men, but In the city
campaign It seems to have raised the
ire of the older Republicans because, as
It is alleged, the club has attempted to
dictate a policy and candidates for every
office In the gift of the city.
Notwithstanding the outspoken opposi
tion to its energetic work, the club placed
a ticket in the field headed by Dr. Cham
berlain, and they will work against a
ticket named by a citizens' convention,
which Is headed by EugSne France, one
of the pioneer lumbermen of the Gray's
Harbor country. Mr. France Is a man
of wealth and desires to be the first
Mayor of Aberdeen under its new banner
of a second-class city.
The campaign will be lively throughout
because of the earnestness of the young
men to succeed with their ticket and the
disposition of the older heads, who say
the- young men are showing too much
fresh blood at the start of their career.
Opposition to Carnegie Library.
A fight Is being made here by leaders
of certain workingmen's bodies on the
proposition of asking Andrew Carnegie
for $lii,OC0 to build a library. Aberdeen
has been about the hardest place in the
world to build up a literary center and
the library lias grown to its present ex
cellent proportions in the face of a great
deal of opposition.
After the fire of the books and
other property were placed In a small
shack and the trustees tried to make both
ends meet on a payment of the city of
$25 a month for its support. Then a
good frietid of the institution gave rooms
free. and when the City Hall was built
there was a hard fight to get a room for
tlie library in the new building, but It
was finally granted. The library has
grown with small increased allowance
from ,ihe city until the quarters at pres
ent are entirely too small.
The citizens have contributed a suf
ficient sum to buy a lot in the main
business portion for a Carnegie library
and now the fight is on by certain repre
sentatives to defeat the scheme.
Big Steamer in the Harbor.
The big steel steamer Black Heath,
which is the largest vessel that has ever
entered Gray's Harbor, proved an un
usual attraction for hundreds of visitors.
The Black Heath carried away nearly
2,000.000 feet of lumber.
The success of the trip of the Heath
to this harbor Is likely to lead to the
coming here of a large fleet of vessels
belonging to a London company to which
the Heath belongs.

DOLLAR IS IN TOILS
Wealthy Idaho Banker and
Timber Dealer Indicted.
TWO OTHERS WITH HIM
Sentences of Robnett and Dwyer
vHave Been. .Deferred , Until
the May Term of the Circuit
Court at MoscowT"
I
- MOSCOW. Idaho. Nov. 26. (Special.)
The Federal grand jury today just be
fore adjourning brought in a true bill
against William Dollar, a wealthy banker
and timber operator of Coeur d'AIene,
his nephew, named Preston, of the same
place, and a German named Slusser, who
lives near Hayden Lake, in Kootenai
County. The charge is understood to be
conspiracy to defraud the Government of
timber lands.
Dollar has been a resident of Idaho for
ten years or more, and has dealt ex
tensively in timber lands. Several years
ago he scrlpped considerable timber land
In the eastern part of Latah County, but
more recently has been confining his
operations to Kootenai and Shoshone
Counties. It is said the evidence against
Dollar Is very strong.
It Is alleged that the Government se
cured possession of a contract in writing
between him and a land claimant, in
which it was agreed between them that
the claimant should sell the land- after
proof for , a consideration named. This
contract was before the grand jury. All
these persons will be doubtless taken in
to custody tonight or tomorrow morn
ing as deputy Marshals are reported to
have left for Coeur d'AIene this after
noon to apprehend them on the warrants
issued.
Sentence of C. W. Robnett and
William Dwyer, convicted of sub
ornation of perjury, was taken un
der consideration by Judge Beatty,
nrlffltHarmifrrtitfr.llflfrftr
Sidney ,Sloane, Whose Defense Is In
snnity iu Trial for Murder of
J-'ather at Spokane.
and will be deferred until the
May term of court, in accordance with
the District Attorney's request. The rea
son assigned was that sentence might
disqualify them as witnesses and that
their testimony might be needed in cer
tain cases to be tried in the future.
Their attorney objected to this pro
cedure, and requested immediate - sen
tence. Judge Beatty said that it was
something unusual in his experience on
the bench to have defendant's counsel in
a criminal case object to postponement
of sentence. He said that cases were
pending in the Court of Appeals, (evident
ly referring to the Williamson case from
Oregon.) which envelope many law points
raised in these cases and if those cases
are reversed, said the Judge, it may not
become necessary to sentence Robnett
and Dwyer at all. He therefore could not
see how deferring sentence would work
any hardship on them. He stated that
they would be held on this existing bond.
Court then adjourned for the term.
JUDGE BEATTY IS ATTACKED
Clarkston Methodist Minister Says
Land-Fraud Convicts Are Martyrs.
LEWISTON. Idaho, Nov. 26. (Spe
cial.) Rev. J. H. Fertig. pastor of the
Clarkston Methodist Church, -in his
sermon last night, defended from the
pulpit the Methodist brethren convict
ed last week in the North Idaho land
fraud cases, and took the position that
they are being made martyrs. He
likened their case to the man In Indi
ana, who was acquitted of stealing hogs
because It was shown to be a custom of
the country.
Rev. Mr. Fertig said that violation
of the laws is the custom in Idaho, and
in his remarks not only excused the
brethren, but urged sympathy for
them. He also attacked Judge Beatty,
the Federal Judge who conducted the
eases, a,nd attributed to him motives
inspired by political enmity between
himself and counsel for the defense,
V. E. Borah, saying, after he had out
lined the political history of the two
men :
"1 can now understand why certain
clauses appeared in the. Judge'8 in
structions. Judges on the bench are
sometimes not above political . preju
dices, and use their influence in the
courts where they should not."
TO DISCUSS IRRIGATIOX BILL
Meeting of Committee Is Called at
Portland, December 3.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 26. (Special.)
Chairman G. W. Allen, of the committee
having charge of the drafting of an irri
gation law, has called a meeting of the
committee, to be held in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms in Portland, Mon
day, December 3, for final consideration
of the bill vthat has been drawn. At
its last meeting the committee went over
the bill 1n detail and made numerous
changes which brought the measure to a
satisfactory form. but. lest something
might have been overlooked, they de
ferred final action until December 4, so
that corrected copies could be prepared
and examined carefully by the members.
Mr. Allen, having received information
that Dr. EJwood Mead, of the United
States Reclamation Service, will be in
Portland December 3. changed the date
of meeting to that time. The meeting
will be' held at 8 o'clock P. M. Mr.

JOXES HAS CAR-SHORTAGE BILL
Hopmcn in Willamette Valley Will
Urge Earnest Support.
INDEPENDENCE, Or., Nov. 26.
(Special.) In view of the fact that the
press and commercial organizations of
the state are demanding from the
coming Legislature relief for the ship
pers oC Oregon from the car shortage
that exists all over the state, the
views of Representative B. K. Jones, of
Polk and Lincoln Counties have been
ascertained on the subject. Repre
sentative Jones has decided opinions in
regard to this most important piece of
legislation. He has not changed his
mind upon the subject in the least
since 1903, when, at the special session,
he Introduced House bill No. 22, known
as the "Jones car shortage bill," which
was practically the Texas law and
which has given general satisfaction in,
that slate.
Mr. Jones will introduce a similar
bill at'the coming session of the Legis
lature for the relief of the shippers of
Oregon, and hopes to be able to have
the bill made a law. He and Speaker
Harris, of Lane County, made a hard
and earnest fight for this measure in
1903, but lost out by four votes.
The car shortage existing this year'
is more acute than probably any previ
ous year in the Willamette Valley. This
feature Is particularly marked In the
hop districts. The temper of the peo
ple contiguous to the Willamette River
has not been improved by the refusal
of the river boats to transport hops to
Portland without through billing to
Eastern points. With conditions ex
isting as they are. Mr. Jones' car short
age bill in the Legislature will meet
with the full approval of every hop
grower in the district, as well as with
the lumbering and other industries
that are suffering for want of fa
cilities for transportation of their
products.
BI& CONTRACT IS LET
HUNDRED MILES OF OREGON
EASTERN TO BE BUILT.
Evidence - That Natron-Klamath
Falls Line Is Soon to Be Complet
ed by Southern Pacific.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Nov. 26. (Spe
cial.) Mason, Davis & Company, of Port
land, contractors of the first unit of the
Klamath project, have secured the first
big contract on the Klamath Falls end
of the Oregon Eastern Railroad, said to
be for a stretch of 100 miles. Archie
Mason, who has had personal direction of
the work here, is now on the way to Port
land to confer with his partners and
officials of the railroad, it is stated, on
what Is apparently authentic informa
tion, and arrangements are being made
for a vigorous Winter campaign.
Awarding of the contract is evident
that the intention of the management of
the Harriman system is to complete the
entire line from Natron to Klamath Falls
during 1907. and make the through route
by way of Weed a realization as soon as
the line is finished to this point, which
will be about August. .
The contract was given to the Portland
firm' some time since, but it has not been
made public for reasons satisfactory to
the railroad officials. Plans for labor
are well formulated. Large quantities of
forage have been purchased in order to
keep stock now on the canal at work
through the Wintoj- In this vicinity, and
if the weather is favorable much progress
may be made. Considerable stone work
is to be done ahd will be let to contract
ors, it is understood.
Attempted Jail-Break Fails.
PENDLETON, Or., Nov. 26. (Spe
cial.) The fact that another daring
jail-break was attempted at the county
jail a few nights ago was just ascer
tained today. The only reason it did
not succeed and the eight prisoners
gain their liberty -was because their
saw gave out and they were unable to
complete their task before daylight. In
nearly every particular "the attempted
delivery was after the same plan as the
one which was successful in Septem
ber. By means of a small back saw the
jjrisoners cut their way through the
grated iron wall of the top cell cor
ridor. They then dropped down the
six feet to the floor of the main cor
ridor and only had the grated jail win
dow between them and freedom. They
succeeded in getting one of these bars
sawed, but after the last break the
bars were braced in such a way that
even after the one was sawed 'Off it
could not be bent back without a pry
of some kind. The strongest of the
prisoners tried their strength on it in
vain.
The saw -was secured by Wilifred
Perry, a trusty at the jail, and was
purchased at the Goodman Thompson
hardware store, when Perry was al
lowed to pome to town for medicine for
a fellow prisoner.

RECORDS IBE" TOO-BRIEF
SUPREME COURT IS XOT GIVEN
SUFFICIENT DATA.
Legislature Will Be Asked to Amend
Law Governing Appeals in
Capital Cases.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 26. (Special.)
The next Legislature will very probably
be asked to amend the law governing
appeals in capital cases, so that new
trials such as that in the Jasper Jen
nings case can be avoided" In many in
stances. It is altogether probable tha
If the entire record had been brought
to the Supreme Court in the Jennings
case a new trial would not have been
considered necessary, for it seems like
ly that the error upon which the re
versal was based was cured by other
proceedings not disclosed by the recort
brought here.
It will be remembered that the trial
Judge permitted a witness to give his
opinion as to the direction from which
the bullet was fired that killed Jasper
Jennings' father. The court held that
the witness should have been asked, to
j state the facts regarding- the appear
ed. wu v . mc iuuui uu icave liiw jury ic
draw conclusions as to direction from
which the bullet was fired. It is prob
able that on cross-examination the
witness was asked upon what he based
his opinion, and that thereby all the
circumstances were given in detail, so
that the jury was just as able as the
witness to form an opinion. In the
ordinary method of cross-examination
these questions would be asked, and
the full information possessed by the
witness disclosed. But the record does
not show that the witness detailed the
circumstance's as he observed them. The
attorney for Jennings brought up only
so much of the record as supported his
contention that error iad been commit
ted, and if the attorney for the state
did not see that the remainder was
brought up, that was so mucb to the
advantage of the defendant.
It was remarked by one of the Su
preme Judges since the decision in the
Jennings case that the statutes govern
ing appeals should require that in cap
ital cases the testimony shall be taken
in full, and sent up to the Supreme
Court, so that the appellate tribunal
can have a view of all the proceedings
and detefTnine whether errors have
been cured, and whether, in the whole
trial, the defendant has received sub
stantial justice. In the Jennings case
the record brought up was very meager
but was as full as the law required.
In practically all murder trials in
these days the evidence is taken in full
and transcribed, so tbat it would entail
no additional expense to send a com
plete copy of the evidence to the Su
preme Court. In minor criminal cases
the evidence is not usually taken in
full, and it would entail considerable
extra expense to require that it be
brought to the Supreme Court. In his
opinion in the Jennings case, Judge
Halley commented upon the brevity of
the record.
SLOANE'S ACTIONS PECULIAR
Boy Was Once Removed From Box
of Theater During a Play.
SPOKANE Wash., Nov. 26. (Special.)
The testimony of two important wit
nesses for the defense in the Sloane
murder trial today was to the effect that
Sidney Sloatie, the boy accused of killing
his father, believed himself a great actor
and theatrical manager. To one witness
he stated he was going to Europe and
felt certain Sir Henry Irving would ac
cept him as a member of his company.
To Jack Quinn, a veteran theatrical man
of Spokane, he declared he would build a
theater in New York and would install
Mrs. Mattle Choates. at that time a
member of the Bittner Stock Company
playing at the Auditorium Theater, as
leading woman. The accused was then
but 13 years of age.
The boy's actions, according to Mr.
Quinn, were such during the first act of
a performance at the Auditorium Theater
that Mr. Quinn refused to ring up the
curtain for the second act until young
Sloane was removed from a box which
he was occupying alone. Sidney Sloan
became known to employes of the audi
torium as Mrs. Choate's "boy manager."
Mrs. choate was the mother of a boy five
years Sidney's senior.
"Sidney Sloan told me that while at
school in California he was engaged to
32 women at the same time.
"At another time he told me of a
plan to raise Angora goats on his
mother's ranch, and stated that he would
be worth J10.000.000 in three years.
"Again he offered me $100,000 to go on
the stage under his management in any
play."
Such was the testimony offered this
morning at the murder trial of Sidney
Sloane by Herman K. Smith, formerly
a bookkeeper In the Sloane-Palne store.
"Your honor, this is the culpable man.
I object to the statement of this witness.
If he thought the boy crazy and did not
order his arrest, he is the culpable one."
was the statement of Prosecutor Barn
hart, when Smith was on the stand.
Smith also testified to the mental lapses
of the deceased, and recounted Instances
where Sloane startled him by his
vagaries. He also told of the peculiar.
actions of the accused in the store. Once
he threw a block of wood through a
showcase: at another time broke the neck
off a bottle of wine and drank the wine,
not noticing the witness near him.

Even if mercury and potash could cure Contagious Blood Poison the
condition in which these strong minerals leave the system would make the
cure worse than the disease. But they cannot cure the vile disorder; they
can only cover up the symptoms for awhile to break cut with renewed vio
lence when the treatment is left off. When the virus of Contagious Blood
Poison enters the blood the entire circulation becomes poisoned, and the
loathsome symptoms begin to appear. The mouth and throat ulcerate, hair
and eyebrows come out, glands of the neck and groin swell, copper-colored
spots appear on the body, and in severe cases sores and ulcers break out, and
even the bones become diseased. S. S. S. is the only certain, safe cure for
Contagious Blood Poison ; thousands have been cured by it after failing with
the mineral treatment, Hot Springs, etc. It is the only remedy that is able
to get at the root of the disease and force out the poison so that no signs are
ever seen again. S. S. S. is purely vegetable, being made of roots, herb3
and barks, and never leaves any bad effects, but instead, tones up -the stom
ach and digestion and builds up every part of the system while removing
the poison from the blood. Book with instructions for self treatment and
