Davenport Will Be Discharged.
Judge Bellinger haa set the proper ex
ample. He is opposed to detectives in
ducing criminals to violate the law in
order to make a case. His disposal of the
Davenport case is a very interesting piev.e
of legal proceeding. The Telegram says :
"Doc" Davenport, the counterfeiters
one of the luckiest men that ever tame
into the federal court on a criminal
charge. He plead guilty to a charge of
making "false and forged coins." and of
having in his possession molds for the
purpose, each of which constitutes a
crime. And yet he will not be punished. I
This morning there appeared in the
Luueu ram uisinci cuuri, Aiiorney
(.Jarland.'from Albany, and Slr. George
K. Chamberlain, to speak in behalf of
Davenport. As Mr. Garland had not
been admitted to practice in the court,
Mr. Chamberlain appeared for him and
moved that the nlea of euiltv ba set
aside and a jury trial ordered.
Judce Ileliineer listened and then ex
plained that he had called the foreman
of the grand jury, Mr. E. W. Cornell, be
fore nun to state the character of the
evidence given in the investigation.
From it he had decided that Davenport
was instigated to manufacture his coun
terfeiting molds and dollars by Charles
Fresch, who was employed by Special
Treasury Agent Harria.of San Francisco,
who had been detailed to investigate the
source of the counterfeit dollars, with
which Linn county was flooded last fall.
When Davenport came up for sentence
on Monday, he told Judge Bellinger a
long story of the methods used in con
victing lain. He claimed that Fresch
had furnished him the inonev with which
to buy the plaster for the molds and the
solder out of which the coins were made.
Judge Bellinger has evidently come to
the conclusion that Davenport told the
truth.
He said this ruornine that the case
would be set for trial in its regulur order,
and that lie would instruct the jarv to
find a verdict of not guilty. This will be
done and the counterfeiter who haa al
ready acknowledged his guilt, will go
back to his farm in Linn countv.
raoBABLT MrRDKRKD. April 9th, at
Miles Citv. Montana. Towner Kara in-
died under circumstances which pointed
w liinti Biunjuu wr cnuiiuaiiv inten
tional poisoning, leaving a wife and a
large estate. His Bitter, Mrs. James An
derson, is a resident of this conntv, near
Jefferson, his brother, Daniel Savage,
lives near Halsev. Linn countv. and the
members of the well-known avage fam
ily of Salem Lyman. Lewis. John. Orin.
etc., al John, Jr. are full cousins of
bis. sheriff Hawkins, of Miles City
writes: "His wife savs he broueht home
some medicine for her and as soon as she
had taken it she knew by the taste of it
that it was poison, and when Towner
came in she told him that it was poison
that he had brought out to her. lie told
her that he knew better and that he
would take the rest of it himself, which
he did, and he died in less than two
hours. Now, that is her story for it, but
the coroner's jury brought in a verdict
that he came to his death by poison ad
ministered by some unknown person or
persons. I am tatisfied that Towner was
murdered." Statesman
The Soldiers Home. Attorney Gen
eral Idlemen has given his opinion that
the soldier' home commission was not
a legal body until the oaths of its mem
bers were hied with the secretary of
state and that whatever was done by
them as a board before that time must
be done over again. In accordance with
this view the members of the board have
agreed to meet in this citv the last of
next week and make a new record. In
the meantime, Commandant Baldwin
will hold on and Commandant Byars will
stand by the door waiting for him to re
tire. There is very little importance at
tached in the public mind now filed by
the attorney general. If thev suit the
offieess to whom they are siven they
will be accepted ; if not they will be ig
nored, hence such opinions are no criter
ion of what is likely to be done. States

Tub Maccabees Tbain. The manage
ment of the O. O. & K. extended to both
lodges of the Maccabees the courtesies of
a special train, and over one hundred
members, besides many others left the
city at 12:30 for Corvallia to attend the
funeral of the late commander of tbe Al
bany tent. Mr. Campbell. They took
with them as fine a display of floral of
ferings as was ever gotten together here,
displaying a large variety of designs.
Among the manv vrettv nieces was an
elegant affair made in Portland and sent

It West Down Instastlv. Mr. Css-
teel, the engineer on the O. C. &
freight train wrecked at bridge 24 states
that when almost across the bridge he
felt the bridge giving way and almost in
stantly the cab was swept off the engine
by the cover ol tho bridge as the
structure went down. There was ab
solutely no time for action at all. The
fireman, Mr. Puraifull, just reached
out one hand striking a hot pipe that
burned mm. the whistle, as well as the
eab was swept off. Xo car jumped the
track at all. The bridge justsimplygave
way and went down. This is the engi
neer's view, and it will be prolmbly be
verified by the investigation that will
hi made of the structure.

it being the only mill on the Pacific
coast that has run steady and full hand
ed during the time of financial depress

Coroner Jury'sj Report.
The coroner's jury met at Pioneer yes
teiday and after investigating tbe recent
w reck brought in the following verdict :
We t'ie coroners jury duly impaneled
and sworn to inquire into the death of
Jog. Wilcox, find that deceased came to
bis death by reason Of a dislocation of tbe
neck and a break of the spinal column
just alxve the hij, said injury being the
result of the wreck of a freight train on
Oregon Central and Eas'ern R. R. at
bridge No. 24.
We further find that said bridge was
badly decayed, but could not just sar in
its present condition whether the bridge
was safe Ixiore it broke down or not.
The evidence taken from competent
bridge men showed that the bridge was
considered safe.

A eomwpondent of a Salem paper de
clares the cause of the wreck to be a rot
ten bridge. Others sav tbe timber of
the bridse were all good. Whatever the
cause it is nndolKedlv a fact that this
was one of the first bridge built and that
it has never been rebuilt.thoogh repaired

no one is more to blame than the rail

How DinrrHAn-iac. Col. Eddy's view
of tbe wreck on Ihv O. C. & E. as given
a Portland paper is that tbe front part of
the train was to go vo Pioneer to do some
switching, while tbe i?ar end would fol
low down tbe grade u. barge of the
brakeman, and that in dividing the
train "-he jar caused Uie bridge to go
down. Pioneer is a mile and a bait
from the tunnel and the rear lrakeroan
and engineer and firemen would certain
ly have known of tbe fact. anl even il
the train had been divided at that place
it would have caused no perceptible jar.
Air. V-Oeueei states positively mat iue
train just simply sank down without any
jar, and the rear brakeman telt no jar.
The truth is. the brilge was defective.

Ratreb Pectuab. There is a condi

commission or somebody else to adjust
From Portland to Scio. or W est Scio is
4 miles: for the class of freight we have
in mind the railroad charges 25 ct per
hundred. From Portland to Albany the
distance is nearly SO miles; yet tbe same
class of freight as above is earned for i
cents per hundred. Making a difference,
of 18 cts per hundred pounds that Albany
merchants have advantage oyer our Scio
merchants, rrora Albany via tne lo-
anon Junction over the S. P. is about 21
miles with a charge ol 15 cents per nun-
Ired for the same class of freight, our
merchants can save 3 cents per pound
if they shinto Albany and then reship
to West Scio. over shipping from Port

of nearly 30 miles in disUnce. ITess.

BANKER COWAN EXONERATED."
Mr. Cowan Brings Tears to the Eyes
of the Jurors.
Tbe Democrat mentioned several days
ago the fact that in tbe case of J. L.
Cowan the U. S. grand jury bad found
not a true bill. Under tbe above bead
yesterday's Telegram gives tbe following
interesting account of the catse:
The mot important of the cases oi ex
oneration is that of James L. Cowan,
formerly president of tbe Linn County
National Bank. Mr. Cowan lias been
haunting the halls of theFeleral bidd
ing for a week awaiting bis opportunity
to explain to the grand jury the nature
of the charge against bixii. He was ac
cused of embezzlement, in one cose of
having taken $15,000 of the bank's money,
and i another of having stolen f 23,(uu.
When at last an opportunity wan given
htm of testifying, he came before the
jarv and delivered himself of an eloquent
and earnest plea. Hi explanation was
really a speech, though with unconscious
eSort. lie said that be was ruined as a
result of the bank's failure, that be bod
lost $55,000, and was now broken down
physically and financially. According to
the description of the jurors bis talk was
very dramatic, for when be bad finished
tbe sad recital of hi woe, half the jurors
were in tears, and there were none whose
eye were dry, including District Attor
ney himselL
Mr. Cowan was indicted by the but
grand jury when tbe feeling against Na
tional banks was running high, just after
the panic of 18a3. No investigation of
the case was made at that time. He was
not charged with any specific crime,
simplv embezzlement without a descript
ion of tbe amount, time or method of tbe
crime. Tbe indictment was resubmitted
and the allegation was dismissed by, it
is said, a unanimous vote ot tbe jury.
