Star Witness, One of "West Faction,
Contradicts Himself on Stand in
Accusing H. A. Stewart of
Giving Away Liquor.
BAKER, Or.. April . 23. (Special.)
IT. A. Stewart, tho deposed Copperfield
Jtayor and eitfoonman of that place,
w-hos saloon was closed by Governor
West's militia, was today found not
Kullty by a Baker County jury of giv
ing liquor to a minor. The jury was
out five minutes, after a sensational'
trial and arguments, in which both
district Attorney Godwin and Attor
ney James Nichols, who represented
the saloonmen, repeatedly referred to
Governor West as a lawbreaker.
Tn state's case crumbled when Sam
Aklin. one of the West faction at Cop
perfield. went back on bis own testi
mony, attempted' to Kive other testi
mony damaging . to Stewart and con
tradicted the other witnesses for the
prosecution.
Harold Burns and Rupert Fitch, sons
of bitter enemies of the saloonman.
bad testified that Mayor Stewart went
outside the saloon and gave them liquor
the night Martin Knezevich's saloon,
burned last May.
Aklin Contradicts Himself.
Aklin corroborated this testimony.
Then, after the defense had shown that
Aklin had gone out with liquor for
the crowd which fought the fire, he
said that Stewart had told him to take
it out to the boys.
District Attorney Godwin made a
plea for conviction on the evidence of
the boys. In reviewing tne entire op
perfield case he did not spare Gov
ernor West, and once said: '
"Gentlemen of the jury, I tell you
that when Governor West declared
martrial law in Copperfield, he was, in
my opinion, one of the greatest law-
' breakers in the state."
He declared that the Governor had
acted without his powers, and told how
he. as District Attorney, had been try
ing to enforce the . law ond how, lie
. paid, he had been hampered by the
Governor. He asked for a conviction
, in spite of. ' not because of the Gov
ernor. Sir. Mrtoli More Bitter.
Attorney Nichols was even more hit
ter against the Gox'ernor, who, he declared,-
had violated his clients' consti
tutional rights.
"X would like to tell Governor West,"
he said, "that when he drew a great
throng In the East to hear him lecture,
that those, people went, not to hear a
great man, but to hear and see a freak:
a man who had dared to trample on the
Constitution. I would like to put that
statement up against his conceit. It
would not affect him, however."
The cases against William Wlcgand
and Tony Warner will be dismissed to
morrow morning, the evidence being
the same in all cases.

We must get out before then.

WHY DOCTORS NO LONGER
CLAIM TO "CURE" PEOPLE
A few years ago it was a common
thing for the family doctor to say, "I
will cure you in a few days." This
cheerful prophecy often gave the pa
tient new hope and courage but it Is no
week- AU the fumes from the dyna
mite explosions came outward and did
not enter the mine.
"A party of strikers has just left for
the mouth of the mine to rescue the
imprisoned people," added the leader.
"We are not murderers and we want to
get them out in safety if they will
agree to lay down their arms and quit
the strike district. Yesterday we cap
tured a pit boss I didn't think enough
of him to get his name and his wife
and another man. We gave them an
escort of 25 of our men, took them to
the railroad station and put them on
a southbound train."
