THE SUXDAY OREGOKIA,. PORTLAND, JUNE . , . .130?. BURNED BY S BOLT Idaho Sheepman Nearly Killed on the Range. BODY IS BADLY MARKED Electric Current Singes Hair and Mustache and Leaves Marks on the .Flesh as of a Red-Hot Poker. BOISE, Idaho, June 3. (Special.) A remarkable case of stroke by lightning- is reported from Cassia County, the victim being Thomas Thomas, a well-known sheepman. He was out at his camp and assisting in marking lambs. A storm came up and a bolt of lightning struck him. He seemed to rise some feet into the air and dropped back to the ground, apparently dead. It was found that his heart still beat, and efforts were made to revive him. After seven hours he regained con sciousness and seems to be in a, fair way to recovery. It was ascertained that the electric current came first in contact with the right side of Mr. Thomas head, singe ing his hair, then passing down his right cheek, burning off the mustache on that side .passing down upon his chest, where the current separated and continued on downward, encircling the abdomen, and came together, to again separate at the loins, and one current passed down each leg In front of the knee, where each made a half-circle, changed to the calf and on down to the heel and then into the ground, tearing each shoe to pieces. The course of the electric current upon the body, from where it came in contact to the feet, which are bruised and swollen. Is marked by deep burns which, although painful, arc not con sidered to have reached any vital part that may Jeopardize Mr. Thomas' final recovery.

INVENTOR ACCDSED OF LIBEL Professor Montgomery Denies He Said Baldwin Stole His Idcns. SAN JOSE, Cal.. June 3. (Special.) Professor J. J. Montgomery, of Santa Clara College, the Inventor of the aero plane, who is charged by Thomas S. Baldwin with libel, called at the Sher iff's office this afternoon to surrender himself as soon as he learned he was wanted. He deposited $50 cash bail. Sheriff Ross received a warrant for Montgomery's nrrest on a charge of criminal libel. The complaint was made before Police Judge Cabanlss, of San Francisco. The complaint for libel Is based on the statement made by Mont gomery that Baldwin in. building the California Arrow pilfered his (Mont gomery's) ideas. Montgomery also ac cused Baldwin of tampering with his aeroplanes when he was about to give an exhibition in this city. Professor Montgomery had little to say today in regard to the case. He said that he had not named Baldwin in making the accusation that the aero plane had been tampered with.

OLTMPIA. Wash.. June 3. (Special.) By a strange twist in political fortunes. Jesse T. Mills, late chairman of the State Board of Control, will. July 1, become Dep uty State Treasurer, succeeding Clarence E. Maynard, who handed in his resigna tion today to State Treasurer George Mills. The position pays $1600 per year, and in point of remuneration is consid ered better than a place on the Board of Control, because of the travel the latter position entails. Jesse Mills was one of Governor Mc Brlde's appointees on the Board of Con trol, and resigned as Sheriff of this coun ty to accept the position. Daring the ante-election fight of a year ago, he and his brother, George Mills, were aligned with opposing factions. Jesse Mills was with the "Boxers," who tried to carry the county for George X. Talcott for the nomination as State Treasurer. George Mills was with the "Gang," which was presenting C J. Lord for Governor. The "Gang" won. and the delegation, finding it could not get Lord for Governor, was glad to name George Mills for Treasurer. Jesse Mills' retention on the Board of Control was opposed strongly by his po litical enemies, with the possible excep tion of Lord, who were George Mills j incnas. it may not nave Deen wnouy due to their influence, but Governor Mead asked for Jesse Mills' resignation, and named M. F. Kin cold In his place. Mills' landing on his feet in one of the best positions in the Statehouse is due. in part, to family ties, but Is also considered here a political novelty. Mr. Maynard, it is understood, will go into business In Chcbalis. dex'Otlng part of his time to Eastern Washington farming interests.

Tomllnson, U. of O., Ties for First on Delivers', but Loses on Comparison of Manuscript. SEATTLE, Wash.. June 3. (Special.) For the first time this year -the Uni versity of Washington was successful in a contest with the University of Oregon, when H. Claire Jackson last night was awarded first place In the annual inter collegiate oratorical contest between the State Universities of Idaho. Oregon and Washington. The light for oratorical hon ors was exceptionally close, both as to manuscript and dclh-ery. Washington's and Oregon's representative tied for first place on delivery. It was to the excel lency of Jackson's manuscript that his victory must be ascribed. AH three speakers were accorded the heartiest kind of reception by the' audi ence. The subject .of the winning ora tion was "Liberty Under Law." Jackson had a strong Volet: and showed a good presence. He has already represented the home institution In a number of debates, which experience proved of great benefit to his last night. His enunciation. how ever, at times was poor, and In this re spect he was excelled by both of the other speakers. V. TV. Tomllnson; of Oregon, seemed t be the favorite of the evening when It came to-the deliver-'. He held the closest attention of the audience from the bc ginning to the end and won the praise of many critics who were present. His subject was "Alexander Hamilton." T. A. Jones, of the University oT Idaho, while he handled "Business In Politics" in a most pleasing manner, still did not seem to carry the weight of the other two orations. His delivery, which was In thorough keeping with his subject, was good, with the possible exception that at many times the audience could not hoar him because of the low tone in which he spoke. The markings of the competitors were as follows: Jackson, two firsts and one sec ond on manuscript, and one first. oneJ second and one third on delivery; Tom llnson. one first and two thirds on manu script, and one first, one -second and one third on deliver); Jones, two seconds and one third on manuscript, and one second and two thirds on dellery. which resulted In Jackson winning the $t as first prize and Tomllnson $3 as second prize.

Copyright 1905 by Hart SchiSher & Marx- Sam'l Rosenblatt TROUBLE OVER DAM Owners Are Cited for Contempt . of Court. CLASH OVER DRAINAGE Ulghts of Fifty Years' Standing Are in Question and May Receive Armed Support of the Neighbors. SALEM. Or, June 1 (Special.) Con tempt proceedings were today brought In the Circuit Court against William and Valller Wattler. owners of the dam across Little Pudding River at Parkers- ville. this county, which dam was re cently rebuilt after Judge Galloway had enjoined the Wattlers from obstructing the drainage ditches In that vicinity. William Brown and Jake Becker were also made defendants In the contempt proceedings upon the allegation that, al though they had not been served with the Injunction papcra they knew the, in junction had been granted and wilfully aided In violating the orders of the court. Two other residents of the neighborhood, whose names are not known, but who are designated as John Doe and Richard Roe. were also made defendants.. Judge Galloway ordered the Issuance of warrants for the arrest of the defend ants and Sheriff Culver and Deputy Minto Immediately left for ParkeravIHe to serve the warrants. No trouble Is ex pected, although reports have been re ceived here that threats of violence have been made in case an officer appeared to make arrests. The trouble has arisen out of an effort to drain a tract of 2000 acres of swamp land in the Lake Lablsh neighborhood, oast of Brooks." The Wattlers own two mills at Parkcrsvilte. which' have been in operation for nearly "half a century.- Dur ing all that time they have secured their power from water held by the dam in question. The back water stood on land which was purchased by S. TV. Jones and others. Some time ago the owners of the swamp lands organized a drainage dis trict anad sought to let the water out through a ditch, but the W'attler dam was in the way. They secured an Injunc tion against the Wattlers forbidding them to Interfere with the drainage ditch, and then went with dynamite and blew the dam out of the way. It seems that the Wattlers had public sympathy with them, and during the ab sence of the Wattler. the neighbors Joined together and rebuilt tho dam. though not exactly In the same place. It is alleged that the. TVattlers had no knowledge of the rebuilding of the dam until the work had been completed, but In the contempt proceedings S. TV. Jones alleges that they procured the other men to do the work. The controversy has reached a stage where It is more than a contest between individuals for the whole neighborhood has taken up the fight, with the owners of swamp land on one side and the rest of the people on the other. A prominent resident of the Parkcrsvtlle neighborhood said this morning that the people are nearly all in sympathy with the Wattlers and that If the dam should be blown out again a thousand men can be found who will volunteer to so and rebuild it- The Wattlers base their right to maintain the dam upon the. fact that they- have main tained it openly and without question tor nearly 50 years.
