THE MITCHELL TRAGEDY.
Fall Particulars of the Killing of Lee
Amls-Keport of the t oroner's
Jury Bob Ma?ee Cliarged
With Willful Murder.
Lee Ami, who was shot at Mitchell on
Christmas night, died the following night
about 12 o'clock, and Coroner Woods held
tn ioqueat before the following jury on
Monday;
J. B. Teller, Bradley Edmund-on, W.
F. Kelaon, W. II. Puett, W. T. Maxwell, M.
Puts.
The evidence ot all the wltneisei who tea-
tided before the coroner's jury was mater
ially the same, and tells the story of the oir-
cumitanoes of the killing pretty fully. Fol
lowing is the testimony of K. A. Smith,
which gives the account in detail:
Question Were you acquainted with Lee
Amis during his lifetime?
Answer Oh yes.
Q. Where were you on the 25th of De
cember?
A. I came to Mitchell that dar.
Q. Did you attend the ball that night?
A. Yes.
Q. Did yon see the trouble between Lee
Amis and the Magee boysf
A. Yes, sir, I saw some trouble.
Q. State what you aaw.
A. Well, I was sitting on a bench where
there were a couple of girls and Bob Magee
was sitting on the right, Lee Amis and one
of the girls went out to dance, and Bob
Magee went over there and took a position
right behind them. I noticed them talk.
ing, but I could not hear any words that
passed. Next thing I saw was Jim Teller
take Bob Magee out off the floor. Then af
ter that set was ont they called "partners for
upper, second table." My number came
and I got a partner, and the door-keeper
held ns at the door. I saw a orowd gather-
erlng there on the porch, and I went out.
I noticed Lee Amis and Pierce
Chamberlain talking. I don't remember
what words pasied between those two.
Pierce went into the house and left Lee
Amis standing on the porch. Lee stepped
back off ths porch and back a few steps out
in the street, end said: "If any son of a
b wants to tangle with me get down."
Bob Magos said: "Who's a ton of a b-?"
Lee said: "I didn't osll yon a son of s
b ." Says he: "I don't mean yon." That
was th last words 1 remember of hosring
spoke. Bob Magee pulled his lix-shooter
from his right hip pocket and fired. I saw
Lee Amis start to fall. I jumped and
grabbed Bob Magee' six-shooter and held
it down to the floor, so he couldn't shoot
Lee sny more. I said: "Come here some
body snd help bold this man," 8am Amis
eame to my assistance. Then I heard anoth
er shot immediately from behind and to my
back. I looked around and saw Lee Ami
fall over near about the corner
ot the porch, and then Marsh
Magee came running up with a six-booter
within tlx inobes of my fsc and said:
Let go of that man, I say." I jumped
back and said: "Sam, let go." Bam let
loose and started around to where Lee was.
Sam had got about fifteen ttepa away and
Bob Magee drew his pistol down and shot
atBtm. I saw Sam kinder go down. I
said: 'For Christ's take, don't shoot any
mors for yon have killed tbera both." The
boys both looked at me for about a seoond,
the Magee boys, bad their six-shooters in
their bsnds and they went walking off
towards the stable. Then I went around.to-
wbere Lee Amis was lying. I asked him if
he was shot bsd. He never made no an
swer. Then tbey packed Lee in the boose.
Q. How close were Lee and Bob togeth
er?
A. About sixteen feet.
Q How m any shots did you see and hear
altogether?
A. I saw and beard three shots.
Q. How close were yourself and 8am
Amis when you heard the first shot?
A. I wss about seven feet from Bob Ma
gee. 1 don t know wnere Dam was stsna-
ing.
Q. Did von see any arms or weapons on
Lee Amis?
A. No, sir.
Q. Wm Bob Magee standing on the porch
when be shot these shots?
A. Ths first shot be was; the next shot
he wss about five feet fiom the porch.
Dr. H. E. Center was called and testified
tbst be attended Lee Amis after be was shot,
and said the wound was in the lower part of
the abdomen and that it was necessarily
fatal.
A number of other witnesses were exam
ined, and their evidence wss in sffoot the
sams s that of Mr. Smith, given above.
The verdiot of tb coroner's jury was:
"We, the jury impaneled to inquire into
the death of Lee Amis, find that the deceas
ed was named Lee Amis, and that be came
to bis death by a gun-shot wound inflicted
on bim Deo. 25, 1890, at Mitchell, Crook
county, Oregon, by a revolver held in the
hand of Bobert Magee, and we charge the
aid Bobert Magee with murder."
From the evidence given above it would
teem that th shooting of Amis was without
provocation, as nothing be said or did at the
time could lead Mage, to believe he was In
sny danger or Justified bim using the violent
means to which he resorted. It i reported,
however, that tbey had had trouble before,
wbicb probably led to the Istt diffloulty.
The Magee bojt-Bob aid' Marsh have
probably make good their escape, and are no
doubt out of the country, at Sheriff Booth
was onable to find either ot them. It Is a
question if tbey will ever be found and
brought to trial for the killing of Amis.
Sheriff Booth returned Monday from
Mitchell having in charge Wm, Magee and
James Jones, ths former charged with hav
ing fired a shot at Lee Amis on the 21th of
December, snd the latter with having aided
Bob and Marsh Magee to escape after the
killing of La Amia. Th, preliminary ex
amination will be held before Justice Bell
to-day.
Orefjonian Hallway Notes.
The Woodburn Independent of Jan. 3 has
the following news concerning the Oregon
ian Bailway:
A special car went over the Springfield
branch of the B. P. last Tuesd-y and Wed
nesday, It was the first dining car that
ever passed over the old narrow gauge road.
It contained Koehler, Fields, Brandt, Gron
dabl and Scott. They were Inspecting the
road and went on over to the East Bide,
which tboy will inspect.
The building ot the McKenzie bridge bas
been resumed snd the work will be poshed
forward with all possible speed. This means
that the Springfield branch will be finished.
Five new coaches sre expected here with
in the next few days and they will be nsed
on this division, which will hereafter be
known as the Woodburn-Spriogfield branch
of the 8. P.
The S. P. assumed full control of all prop.
erty and lines of the old narrow gsuge on
both sides of the river last New Year's day.
This, of course, means that the Silverton.
Portland branob through Mollalla will not
be built.
Mr. Fields is superindent of the road on
both si Jos of the river snd Geo. C. Morris
is train dispatcher with headquarters at
Dundee.
The first official act of Koehler was to cut
the pay of the section men from f 1.75 to
91.50 per day. $1.75 per day is certainly
little enough, but not quite so small as the
parsimony of the 8. P. The Labith disas.
ter oost the company about a quarter of a
million, but they evidently Intend to get it
back on the poor devils. Just wait until the
whest has to be shipped next year and hear
the old farmer kick. Such disaster never
oost a company muoh, but they are the v
devil on the farmers.
Mr. Ford, the oldtime agent, la ont and
the office is under the management ot the
S. P. agent.
The Company is negotiating for ground
and the papers will be drawn this week.
They will have to build a new depot early in
the spring. They are, also, going to build
five new switches. All freight is now billed
dear through to Coburg and intermediate
points from Portland.
Too Good to Lose.
Senator Fry tells thie story: "I wss in
Washington, at Spokane Falls, last year and
wa entertained by one of the local boom
er. He wss wss a patriarchal old fellow,
who looked like a deacon and wm worth
millions of dollars. Be took me ont to
drive behind a fine pair of horses and
showed me the town. One of the objects
that attracted my attention was a very long
building a tremendous affair, ons of the
longest buildings I ever saw in my life
'How many gambling games do yon suppose
therein that building?' asked my friend
the patriarch. 'Give it op,' said I. 'Thir
ty-nine of 'em,' laid he, in a triumphant
tone. 'Gracious! ' ssid I; 'snd bow many
bars?' 'Thirty-nine.' 'Now, look here, my
friend,' ssid I, 'you must destroy that thing
or it will destroy yoa.' 'What do you
mean," he demanded. 'Mean? I mean that
yoa ought to drive it out of town.' Good
God, senator, said he, "if we loose it, Ta
ooma'll get it."
Senator Mauderson hot presented the
most praotioal plan yet presenred for sub
duing the red man. Every year ponies are
given the books to me in plowing and cul
tivating the soil. They do not nse them for
this purpose, bnt tu riding recklessly about
the country In the manner depicted in the
wild west show. The ponies serve merely to
iooreaae their idleness and restless, roving
disposition. Senator Manderson proposes
that Instead of ponies the Unl
tod State government give to the
Indians oxen with which to till the soil.
They will probably kill the oxen and eat
them, but they will not have any ponies to
ride through the country k tiling and rob
bing. A bl Indian brave in war paint and
feathers would die of mortiflostlon at the
thought ot riding an ox into battle. And
your real Indian is not muoh good for fight
ing on toot
Ths Msine is the largest ship of the new
navy. She is really the first regular line of
battleship the new navy will have. Bhe is
called a "belted cruiser," from the fact that
all her middle part will be covered with an
armor of steel plate twelve inches thick.
Such armor covering bow and stern would
make the big ship too heavy, therefore these
are left nnarmored, though the whole ship
is of steel. Bow and stern are filled in
with water tight compartments, so that if
she is hit in one place and leaks the dam
age will not affect other parts. Where her
machinery is she is protected by the armor.
The Maine's largest guns can carry a 600
pound projectile nine miles.

The twelve thousand dollar purse to be
fought for by Dempsey and Fitzaimmona
on the 14th lost, is the largest ever bang for
such contest. Dempsey claims that Gas.
Tuthill. of New York, who has been bis
backer in many of his important battle has
notified him that he intended to bet from
2,500 to 13,000 on the result, and that he
hu other admirers wbo will bet large sums.
It is reported tbst Jimmy Carroll and Tom
my Danforth will second Fitzsimmons.
Dempsey ' principal anxiety is over the ref
eree. Secretary Rusk Is quoted as saying, "this
mower snd Keeper Trust will cost the Be
publican party hundreds ot thousands of
votes at the next Presidential election?" The
Pittsburg Despatch, eBepublioon paper,
adds: "He might have gone further and
said that the presence of trusts among the
piotected industries contributed more than
any other one cause to the reverse of the last
election. The Republican party hM but
one way of ridding itself ot that locubus,
and that is to provide for placing all pro
ducts coctroUid by Sth enmbi
nations on the tree list during th, duration
of the trust,
