WILL HAVE JURY TRIAL
Case Will Go Over Inlil September,
When It Will Be Heard by
Second Juvenile Court
Jury Kver Called.
Jackson C. Reid. the young boy who
shot and killed George F. DcMars at
Guilds Lake Wednesday evening, was
released from the County Jail on 15000
ball at 10:15 o'clock last night. Bonds
In the sum of 110.000 were raised, leaving-
an excess bond of $5000. The
bond was given by H. V. Held. Thomas
N. Fltchard. D. Kuratll. G. 8. Held. R.
A. Reid and R. R- Held, after Attorney
Easterley had put In more than three
hours of the evening In an effort to
find one of the Circuit Judges to ap
prove the sureties offered.
The bondsmen were as follows: Tavid
Kuratll. $1000: Thomas N. Fltchard,
$1000; H. Q. Rice. $S0i: Ralph R. Reid,
$500; Harry V. Reed, $1000; Adrian Mc
Calman. $100; G. H. Reid. $500;
and Lafe Pence. 50a0. Late In
the evening Judge Morrow was
found. He approved the bond and
aimed an order directing that the
youth be released from the County Jail.
Judge Gantenbein. of the Juvenile
Court, also certified to the release.
Jury Trial la Demanded.
Attorney C. M. Idleman, who will
defend young Reid. demanded yester
day afternoon that a Jury trial be
granted at the hearing in the Juvenile
Court. This has the effect of postpon
ing the hearing of the rase from to
morrow to early In September. The
reason Is that no Jury can be drawn
before September. There Is no Jury
now In attendance upon the court, and
there will be none until the September
panel reports on September 8. From
the regular September panel six Juror
will be drawn for the Reid hearing.
The questions the Jury wlll'try Is
whether the boy, because of the shoot
ing of PeMars. Is a delinquent child.
The Juvenile Court act provides that a
child must be adjudged delinquent be
fore he can be sentenced to the Reform
Fchool or remanded for investigation
by the grand Jury and trial In the Cir
cuit Court. If the Jury should find the
boy to be delinquent. It will then, lie In
Judga Gantenbein's discretion whether
he sentences him to the Reform School
or orders him tried before the Circuit
Court, as an older person accused of
crime would be. '
Friend Gives Boy's .Side.
This will be the second Jury trial ever
had in the Juvenile Court. Tlio first Jury
was summoned by Judge Frazer to de
termine whether V. A. Plingarland was a
proper person to have the custody of his
10-year-old stepdaughter, Edna.
Part of 3-oung Reid'e side of the case
was outlined yesterday afternoon by a
friend of the family, giving reasons why
the boy resorteij so readily to the re
volver. According to this friend's story,
Government Island has long been a ren
dezvous of hobos and other dangerous
characters, who made free with every
thing they found on the Island because
of its name.
When Lafe Pence bought it, ho stored
in tie building property of different kinds
s.ild to be worth as much as $12,000, and
owing to the depredations of the hobos
and others, employed a man named Burns
iiperlally to guard the building. Burns
found himself unable to cope with the
Ian-less persons, some of whom went so
far as to break In the door of the build
ing with railroad ties and help themselves
to the articles of value they found within.
Sohenip Hired as Guard.
Burns surrendered his position In dis
gust, and Pence then employed Schemp.
the Reid boys stepfather, to make his
home on the Island and guard the Gov
ernment building with its contents.
Schemp. it Is said, met with better suc
cess, though he occasionally found It
necessary to threaten certain Intruders
with a revolver In order to prevent the
buihiing from being robbed.
On the occasion of the visit of De Mars
to the Island, the shooting occurred at
the chicken-house, which is said to be
at least feet from Schemp's house, a
distance about equal to two city blocks.
Th hoy- slater had to go and return
the 4'0 feet when she was sent for the
revolver, which would take her four or
rive minutes, and during that time it ap
pears that De Slurs remained at the spot.
It will probably be contended on he
half of the boy that as he was there
alotva. except for the other children, and
the members of the fishing party were
trespassers, he acted under the belief
that he was protecting the property as
his stepfather had done, and that his
stepfather's action in threatening In
truders with the revolver suggested the
same plan to the lad.

KIDNAPS WOULD-BE BRIBE
MOTHER PREVENTS WEDDING
BY STRONG ARM METHODS.
Takes Daughter From Morris, HI.,
to Chicago San Francisco
Professor Follow.
CHICAGO, Aug. 8. Nearly all of last
night a young college professor walked

istry at Cooper Institute, Pan Francisco
and chemist for the Northern Pacific
Railway, is the man who wa to have
been the groom.
Miss Ethel Ludwig. a graduate of Le
land Stanford University, and living at
Morris, 111.. Is the bride to have been.
The storm broke in Morris Thursday
when Dr. Fitzgerald alighted from a
train prepared to go to the home of his
Intended wife. Mrs. Ludwig had con
sented to the marriage, which was to
have taken place yesterday. But at the
train the young man was met by a Mrs.
Bray, aunt of Miss Ludwig, who told
him to board the next train and leave
Morrif. as the family had reconsidered
the marriage and had voted it down.
Refused permission to see Miss Lud
wig by her mother. Dr. Fitzgerald went
to a hotel, vowing that he would see his
Intended the following day. At midnight,
however. Mrs. Ludwig forcibly placed
her daughter in an automobile and spirit
ed her out of the city. Dr. Fitzgerald
was aroused, and within an hour was
on the trail of abductor and abducted.
He traced the party to Coal City, where
It was declared they had boarded a train
for Chicago. The pursuer boarded the
next train and reached the city a few
hours later.
On reaching Chicago Dr. Fitzgerald
hired detectives to make every effort to

her will.
WKLL KNOWN IN BAY CITY

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
AVriter Says This law Governs Bar
bers' Charges to Customers.
PORTLAND. Aug. 4. (To the Editor.)
In today's Oregonian. a news report
mnkes public the action of a meeting
between the "Boss" Barbers' Associa
tion and the Journeyman Barbers
I'nion, wherein they agree to reduce
their scale of prices.
The prices that have been In vogue
throughout the best shops have proven
ruinous to business. The result has
been that a great many of the bar
bers' best customers have been doing
their own work, to avoid paying what
they consider an exhorbitant price.
Notwithstanding a depreciation in
trade, the employer who lias his money
Involved in his business must con
tinue to charge the scale, and pay the
wages prescribod by the union, or do
one of two things either shut up ahop
or declare himself free from the yoke
of the union.
This latter alternative has been the
step recently taken by some of the best
and finest shops In the city. Their own
ers have chosen to operate their busi
ness In accordance with public demand
rather than accept the dictation of
those who have not a dollar at stake,
and In many instances but a alight
know-edge of the business.
The unions' old method of a boycott,
to whip their victims into line, has
no longer any weight with public
sentiment and realizing this the union
boss barbers have acknowledged their
weakness by cutting down their own
prices. By this act, they think to
hoodwink the public Into a belief that
they had Intended to do this in a
short time anyway. But this Is but
another outrage to public intelligence.
Is it not reasonable to presume that
barber patrons will stay with the mert
who have dared to "come out from
among them." and run an open shop?
If they did not, and these shops were
again forced into the Jurisdiction of the
union, how long would It be until
the same condition again prevailed?
Tho law of supply and demand reg
ulates commercial conditions.
