Slayer of Aignas Knappka, Xear
Selma, Makes All XJght Ride to
Surrender to Sheriff Self-
Defense Explanation of Act.
GRANTS PASS, Or., Jan. 12. (Spe
cial.) Details of the slaying of aged
Aignas Knappka by James McGuire,
both miners, on the Illinois River, 12
miles below Selma. which was an
nounced in The Oregonlan this morn
ing, reveal a killing of unusual circum
stances, inthat the slayer and his vic
tim had passed the three-scare point in
age.
After eating supper at Selma Mc
Guire arose and phoned the Sheriff of
the tragedy, telling; him he was on the
way to give himself up. then calmly
and deliberately resaddled his mule and
started on li Is all-night journey to
Grants Pass, ..a distance of 40 miles.
Murderer Rides All Night.
Arriving about 4 o'clock this morn
ing he was met by the Sheriff, to wlrom
tie talked freely of the crime which he
had committed, and speaks of killing
his victim as a man usually would re
cite tales of killing an animal.
McGuire says he met Knappka on a
trail, and without words or warning
both men began shooting. Knappka
used a double-barreled shotgun, while
ilctiuire had a 25-35 Winchester, which
was used with better aim to fell his
victim. Knappka struggled, and while
this struggling was taking place three
other shots were pumped out of the
Winchester by McGuire into the dying
man's body.
"I am 61 years old and have lived in
Josephine County 22 years, and have
followed mining most all of my life. I
had been duly warned by friends that
Knappka was watching for nie, and if
lie got me off my guard, would get me.
The day of the shooting I -was working
on my copper claims, one-half mile
above Knappka's cabin, on the river
trail.
"This mining property was my own,
but Knappka wanted to jump it. He
came round where I was working twice
that day with a gun In his hand. This
was January 7. On January 8 I called
.Jack Campbell, another miner, to look
at my work. On January 7 a notice
was tacked by the trail on my claim by
Knappka. and In this notice it stated:
lf you want to do your assessment
work, you must do it fairly and put no
sand in It, or I will attend to it
(Signed! "KNAPPKA."
Miners Meet Near Sprng.
I did not see him yesterday before
the trouble. 1 went up to the spring
about 11:30 to get water for lunch. I
carried my Winchester. As I ascended
the gulch I saw standing in the brush
BO yards ahead of me Knappka, with a
double-barreled shotgun. Without
warning he started to aim. I threw my
gun over and lie shot the same time I
did. I shot him four times. I was
shooting for marbles. I knew it was
coming. I had been fairly warned.
Rllt All T nk io a ;
No. I did not feel nervous; it was either (
y,t mive. jna wnen ne ren and
was struggling I shot again and then
went and looked at the body."
Asked If his victim was in pain Mc
Guire replied:
'Oh. no: it didn't hurt him. I stayed
until he became perfectly gentle.
'After I shot him I went and got the
pail o-f water, came back and he was
still lying there. I went down and
prepared my meal. I do not know any
reason why Knappka should threaten
my life. He at times was crazv. An
instance of this kind was that he had
prepared his grave and put the head
stone up.
Head Man Hud Inventive Mind.
"He also had invented a fire escape
and a patent fruit jar stopper. He had
been threatening my life for a year and
a half. Knappka had told people that
if a man would kill McGuire he would
get a good bunch of money and he
would never be arrested for it, either.
This, of course. I knew, and with the
many other things he had done. I could
not help but believe he intended to kill
me if i lie opportunity came right. He
killed my dogs and Interfered with my
gates round the cabin."
Knappka was a shoemaker by trade
and was considered a peaceful and
quirt man, while, on the other hand,
his assailant lias a bad reputation. Six
or seven years ago the latter met Joe
dinners and opened tire, but Joe was
too quick for him and shot him In the
shoulder. It is alleged tha.t he also ran
out a number of people who desired to
take up claims near his.
In one instance he gave a man five
minutes to get off his place and
warned him when one minute was left
that he had better go or he would put
tin end to him.
As a sequence to the storv. three
months ago Knappka had three Port
land men located next to McOuire's
claim, which runs north and south, and
the newly located claims run east and
west, thus overlapping McGulre's. One
day McGuire went up and Inquired of
the new parties about it. mid -they
stated that their claims did not over
lap, but that the description was wrong
In the notice. At this time Knappka
was present and took his rifle from
the wall.
"I realize it is going to be hard to
satisfy the people. There is a world of
sentiment against me. and lots of peo
ple out there just have it in for me
that's Mil." concluded McGuire. who
seems, however, to have no fear of the
outcome, expressing coulidenco that
when lie has a fair trial he will be set
free.

SIXTH CONVENTION CALLED
President Dumas In Wenatchee Ses
sion Appeals for Lower Rates,
Better Service East Dishon
est Nurserymen Condemned.
WENATCHEE. Wash., Jan. 12. (Spe
cial.) The Washington State Horticul
tural Society convened in this city to
day in its sixth annual session. Prom
inent horticulturists from Oregon and
Washington are in attendance. The
meeting was opened by President J. L.
Dumas, of Dayton. Mayor Gellatly wel
coming the delegates to Wenatchee. H.
M. Gilbert, of North Yakima, was to re
spond, but, having been delayed by a
wreck. Leigh R. Freeman, of that city,
responded in behalf of the association.
President Dumas, in his report and
annual address, attacked the methods
of the International Apple-Shippers'
Association for reporting the 1909 crop
of apples as excessive, with a view of
getting the growers to sell at a low
price. The need of cheaper freight
rates to New York and better service
on the railroads is needed, said Presi
dent Dumas, as it now takes a carload
of apples from 15 to 22 days to be
shipped from Columbia River points to
the Eastern sections of the United
States.
Recommendations for Improvements
in the present state horticultural law
were urged. It was declared that
more stringent laws are needed to pre
vent nurserymen from delivering trees
not true to their names.
Regarding the Lafean box bill, being
urged by Eastern growers. President
Dumas said:
"All this agitation about the Porter
bill and the .Lafean bill is not without
its benefit. It has shown the" growers
that they must get together and stay
together on this and many other things.
Our whole system of marketing needs
overhauling.
"We need a National law governing
the commission business. The Depart
ment of Agriculture is already aroused
to the necessity for such a law. and I
am sure we can count on its hearty co
operation and support."
R. A. Jones, of Spokane; E. H.
Twight, of Lewiston, Idaho; F. A.
Huntley, State Horticultural Inspector;
Professor Melander, of Pullman; C. L.
bmlth, of Spokane, and A. von Holder
becke, or Spokane, discussed different
phases of the fruit industry.

legs and body and Toy Yong, his knife
dripping with blood, standing over him
ready to strike -again.
The Chinese Consul, Goon Dip, says

PROFIT IN OIL INSPECTION
Xet Saving Is $3 00 More Than Loss
by Kerosene Accidents.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Jan. 12: (Special.)
The flet profits of state oil inspection
1n Washington for 1909 were J14.727. or
about $300 more than the property loss
In the state during the year from kero
sene accidents, which accidents also
resulted in the loss of ten lives.
During the year 12.404,672 gallons of
petroleum products were inspected in
Washington by Inspector F. A. Clark,
chief deputy H. E. Thomas and extra
deputies C. A. Woelflen, G. H. Stratton
and H. M. Rogers, at a total cost of
salaries and expenses amounting to
$10,082.
These figures are given in the annual
report of the department Just made to
Governor Hay by Inspector Clark.
In closing his report, Mr. Clark says,
"I have at hand the last annual re
port of the Oil Inspector for the State
of Wisbnsin and in the essential fea
ture of the two offices I would like to
make one comparison. Wisconsin has
a Chief Inspector and 64 deputies, all
of which deputies draw a salary of
$75 per month each.
"By this report last year they In
spected 13,000,000. gallons of oil. In
this department we have a Chief In
spector and four deputies and our totals
for the year Just closed are 12,500,000 of
gallons. That office returned no profit
to the state. Our net profits deposited
with the State Treasurer were $14,-727.15."

SHERIFF ASKS LASH
Sappington of Clark County to
Urge Whipping Post.
ASSOCIATION FRAMES BILL
Measure to Make Deserters as Well
as AVife-Beaters Amenable to
Penalty Act Will- Prevent
Women Prom Relenting.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 12. (Spe
cial.) Sheriff Sappington, ' of -Clark
County, president of the State Sheriffs'
Association, which will meet next Tues
day at North Yakima, said today that
he is strongly in favor of the whipping
post ae a punishment for wife-beaters and
wife-deserters and believes it would make
those crimes less frequent.
"These wife-beating cases are a nui
sance," said the Sheriff. "I am bothered
with them all the time, and I think the
whipping-post would put an end to them.
The Sheriffs tried three years ago to
have the whipping-post established and
a, bill was presented in the State Legis
lature, but it was not passed. We will
try again at the next Legislature and a
bill will be framed at the state meeting
of the Sheriffs next week in North
Yakima.
"The -bill will contain a provision that
will require the prosecuting witnesses in
these cases of domestic infelicity to $ros3
cute or stand the expenses of the action
brought by them. I have encountered
more than 20 cases where women have
caused the arrest of their husbands for
wife-beating and then, after expense has
been incurred in arresting the men, some
times caught in other states, when the
time came for trial the women would re
fuse to prosecute. The Sheriffs will try
to get a law that will prevent that change
of heart.
"The Sheriffs will probably also recom
mend to the Legislature that Sheriffs'
fees be increased, as now the county
loses money on most civil suits, the fees
collected not paying expenses. The feea
go to the county and the county bears
all the expense incurred in serving papers
or when officers are engaged in any offi
cial business."
MAYOR URGED TO REMAIN
Legal Tangle in Salem Would Fol
low Resignation.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 12. On account of
the great probability of future com
plications in city affairs should Mayor
Rodgers resign his present office, City
Attorney Grant Corby stated this morn
ing that -he vwould recommend that the
Mayor reconsider his former notice of
resignation and remain an incumbent
until next election. Under the Salem
city charter, there has been no absolute
authority provided for the city by
which a vacancy caused by resigna
tion can be filled other than by special
or regular election by the people, and
should the City Council elect or ap
point a new Mayor, the City Attorney
fears serious trouble will arise. Mayor
Rodgers has not served definite notice
of resignation as yet.

Extensions Aggregate 65 Miles Two
'Separate Districts Contiguous to
McMinnville to. Be Served
by Contemplated Lines.
The surveying partes engaged in
running available routes for exten
sions by the Oregon Electric from Sa
lem to Albany; from Tigard to Mc
Minnville and from Forest Grove to
North Yamhill, have been called in for
the purpose of preparing maps and
estimates.
So soon as these data are prepared it
will be submitted to Manager Talbot,
who thereafter will submit recommen
dations as to choice of routes to the
directors of the road. The data and
Mr. Talbot's report either , will be sent
East or taken there in person by him
some time next month. It is expected
that the company will make somedefl
nite decision whether extensions shall
be undertaken this year by the- time
weather conditions permit active con
struction work. Mr. Talbot says that
although surveys are completed he is
not giving assurances at this time that
the proposed extensions will be built at
once.
The surveys completed are for - ex
tensions aggregating 65 miles. The dis
tance from Salem to Albany is about
27 miles, and from Tigra,rd to McMinn
ville about 25 miles. The extension to
North Yamhill from Forest Grove would
be .13 miles.' The latter is part of a
proposed line from Forest Grove to Mc
Minnville, but surveys have been com
pleted only to North Yamhill. The
Tigard-McMinnvllle and Forest Grove
McMinnville surveys are not for alter
native routes to McMinnville, but for
independent lines to serve separate dis
tricts. The engineers now engaged in mak
ing estimates and maps will probably
be put in the field again in the Spring.
