KILLS HIS ENEMY
BY SHOTS IN
Michael Campbell Murders
John McClelland at Deep.
River Landing.
FOUR BULLETS ENTER BODY
Standing on Wharf, Assailant Emp
ties Revolver at Man In Launch.
Tragedy Due to Trouble Over
Lawsuit Campbell Is Gone.
ASTORIA, Or., May 20. (Special.)
A cold-blooded murder was committed
about 3:30 this afternoon at Willme
Landing on Deep River, on -he north
Bide of the Columbia, when Michael
Campbell, a rancher, shot and instantly
killed John McClellan, another rancher.
McClellan, who lived on Nasel River,
was returning: from Upper Deep River
on , the gasoline launch Lexington.
When the boat stopped at Willme
landing- he was in the engine room
talking with the engineer and another
passenger and eating his lunch.
Four Bullets In His Back.
He was standing with his back
toward the wharf, when Campbell, who
resides a short distance from the land
ing; walked out to the edge of the
wharf, pulled a revolver from his
pocket and, taking deliberate aim, fired
live shots in quick succession, four of
them striking McClellan in the back
and causing instant death. Campbell
then turned and walked into the woods.
Not a word was spoken between the
two men, and, so far as can be ascer
tained, McClellan did not know Camp
bell was in the vicinity. The cause of
the shooting is said to be trouble aris
ing over a law suit in which Campbell
was a witness against McClellan, and
the latter is reported to have whipped
Campbell some time ago.
Murderer Still at Large.
Campbell has' not yet been arrested,
but word of the crime was sent to
Sheriff Flanders, of Wahkiakum Coun
ty, Wash., this evening. McClellan was
a native of Tennessee, about 4? years
old and leaves a wife and three chil
dren. CHIEF ISSUE IX MORROW
Prohibition Campaign Absorbing
Topic Before the Voters.
HEPPNER, Or.. May 20. (Special.)
The campaign being conducted here by
the Anti-Saloon League is a great deal
hotter and drawing larger crowds than
either Republican or Democratic speak
ers. Last night a crowd far larger greeted
J. R. Knodell at the Commercial Club
than that which met Governor Chamber
lain at Roberts' Hall a week ago. Mr.
Knodell spoke three times yesterday to
large and enthusiastic crowds.
Prohibition will be voted on in Morrow
County this election as a whole, not by
precinct,, as heretofore. Two years ago
Morrow County went wet by 3-' votes.
No campaign was put up by the Anti-Saloon
league at that time, but this year
a well-organized band of business men
and leading citizens are working hard in
connection with the league to put Mor
row County In the dry columm Conser
vative estimate by anti-saloon men place
the county dry by 200 votes.

AVallowa Will Go Dry Again.
ENTERPRISE, Or., May 20. (Spe
cial.) The question of the prohibition
of the sale of Intoxicating liquors will
again be voted upon in Wallowa
County on Jue 1. The county is now
dry, all but two or three of the 20 pre
cincts giving a majority for prohibi
tion at the election two years ago. The
majority in the county as a whole was
a surprise to both sides two years
age, but Is freely predicted that
majority will be beaten this year. The
experience of two years has been so
satisfactory that the business men In
all the towns are practically a unit for
prohibition. The four chief towns of
the county gave a dry majority two
years ago, and indications are they
will repeat this on June 1. In Enter
prise and Wallowa the drys will win
nearly two to one, while Joseph and
Lohtine will be not far behind.

CLAIMING JACKSON COUNT
Prohibitionists Confident of Victory
This 'Time.
JACKSONVILLE, Or., May 20. (Spe
cial.) Election notices are posted In each
precinct notifying the electors that on
June I an election will be held to deter
mine whether or not Intoxicating liquors
may be sold in Jackson County the suc
ceeding two years. Two years ago the
county decided, by a majority of 83, that
liquor might be sold.
Interest in the present campaign has
been accelerating the past few days.
Earlier the contending forces were con
tent with quiet work, but now they are
in the open. Few men will get through
this campaign without being known and
understood. Every man Is being "smoked
out." This is somewhat uncomfortable
for ambitious people, who have usually
managed to keep in the "twilight zone"
between the vigorous champions of the
respective forces of "wet" and dry."
As hi and and vicinity casts a heavy

that the 1000 voters of the Gem City of

solidly for Prohibition.
It is observed that many " voters have
changed their altitude on the wet and
dry question since 190. and the vote of

result next month. Friends of the dry

ANOTHER VOTE ON lOCAIi OP
TION IN TILLAMOOK.
"Wet" Interests Have Lost Twice,
With Decreasing Majority Antl
Saloon Element Quiet Now.
tIllAMOOK, Or.. May 20. (Special.)
Tillamook was one of the first coun
ties in Oregon to vote the saloons out
of business, and for nearly three years
and a half the wettest county In the
state, considering Its annual rainfall, has
been -dry," with, little or no regret
at the loss of the saloons.
It was at the- election In November,
1904, that the local option law was first
voted upon when a petition was filed
to determine whether the sale of in
toxicating liquors should be prohibited
In the county as a whole. The antl
saloon faction carried on a vigorous
campaign, with the result that 687 voted
for a "dry" county and 3!U against. The
question was resubmitted two years ago,
with the result that "drys" carried the
county again with a decreased majority,
the vote being 499 votes "dry" and 384
J,wet."
The saloon advocates are now making
another strenuous effort to- make the
county go wet, for they have placed on
file another petition and the County
Court has ordered it placed on the ticket
at' the June election. The anti-saloon
advocates have done little or nothing to
reorganize and it is anticipated that if
they do not do some active work be
tween now and the election, the majority
In previous elections will be cut down
still further.
The anti-saloon movement in Tillamook
County was instrumental in closing up
the disreputable saloons and gambling
rooms, which operated in this city for
years. Consequently a much better state
of affairs exists today as a resist of the
county being "dry." It was rhe prophecy
of the saloon advocates at the first local
option election that if the county went
"dry." It would kill busienss and the city
would ' be dead. Local option, however,
seems to have had the opposite effect
of increasing business, to the surprise
of some of the business men who op
posed closing up saloons.

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., May 20.
(Special.) County Clerk R. K. Nichols

ring times of that state's history, and af

CROSS-EXAMINATION FAILS TO
BOTHER PRISONER.
Defendant Gives His Story of Burn
ing of Cabin Case Expected to
Reach the Jury Today.
DALLAS, Or.. May 20. (Special.) The
fate of A. J. Hembree will probably be in
the hands of the Jury by tomorrow night.
All the direct testimony is in and the de
fense rested its case this evening just
before the court adjourned at 6 o'clock.
The testlmonw for the prosecution was
all taken before 10 o'clock this morning.
The essential points of evidence intro
duced by the state were the testimony
of the people who found the burned re
mains of the two women. The opinions
of the experts Introduced went to prove
that the bones found lh the stove after
the fire were those of a crushed and
broken human skull. The testimony of
Larsen, the Tillamook hotelkeeper, con
cerned the alleged illicit associations of
the prisoner with his daughter prior to
the time when the murder was supposed
to have been committed.
The testimony of Hembree himself and
of his eldest son was undoubtedly the
most Important Introduced by the de
fense, 'uie prisoner told substantially
the same story of the fire and the death
of his daughter and wife that he pre
viously told, and a close cross-examination
failed to shake him. He was kept
on the stand during the greater portion
of the' afternoon.
The Interest In the case is becoming
continually more intense, and the results
of tomorrow's session are eagerly await
