ROBIN GENERAL MERCHANTS, MADRAS, OREGON 00 Because Mil-judge before whom ex Co nzress mac WilliamHon was tried erred on one point in Jifs instruction to thejury, the Fupreme Court of the United Htatea has reversed tlie Judg ment of the lower court and reminded the Williamson case for a, new trial. The Supreme Court held, that the in dictment was correct, tla tfio admis- Hionofthe evidence mid the intttruc lions of the court were cprrepf, witl the exception of certain leetlrflony regarding the final proof upon th IiiikIh involved, upon which one poiu me bupreme Court Holds the lone court to have errud, and has remanded the case for a new trial. Justice JIar Ian of the United States Supreme Court dissented from that opinion holding that no substantial error was committed by tiie lower court, mid that the Judgment of conviction should be affirmed. ft Ijub been generally undersloo Unit Williamson and his attorney bused their hope of a new tihil upon the alleued Coimlitui ioual iin inu ui t of Williamson from arrest and bentenee becHUse lie was a member of Congret-H at the time of his conviction. Tli Supreme Court, however, disposed o thatquestion by holding tliat WJIIiam son's alleged ( flense constituted i treaeli oi the pence, and therefore tht- Court had a right under the Constitu Hon to impose sentence Immediately lifter his coi.vjction. Ti e Suprem Court alto Hiistnined the lower coua upon the Eiifliclency of the indictment. and as to the admission of variou kindsof testimony to which exception had been taken by Williamson attor neve, with the exception of the testl mony regarding certain atlldavits ai the time of final proof, and the lower court's Instructions on this testimony It-was upon this point that tiie judg ment was reverseu, ami ine case remanded for a new trial. Dr. Van Gesner and M. R. Blggp, who were indicted and convicted joint ly with Williamson, will not profit hi the Supremo Couit decision, lr, (aesner has just completed hls torm of five months in the Multnomah County jail, and paid a Una of $1000, and .Bigg is still serving his sentence of ten months, after which he will have to pay a fine of $500, Williamson's sen tence was the same as that imposed upon Bigns, ten mouths in the Mult- iiomuh County jail and a line of $500, but at the time of their conviction. Williamson, being a member of Con gress, availed himself of the right, to appeal his ease direot to the flitted Slates Supreme Court, Dr. Gesner and Biggs appealed their oas.es to the Courtof Appeals at San Francisco, and when that court iitHrmed the judgment of the lower c,purt, they began the frer vice of their sentence. The Wiliiamson Gesner-Blgga case was tried three times in the FeiU'rul court at Portland before a Judginei t was obtained, the Jury having failed to agree in the (Irst two trials. The reversal of the Judgment In the Wil liamson case makes a fourth trial necessary, Mr. Honey, the special government prosecutor iu the laud fraud cases, when Interviewed by a Portland paper regarding the William son decision, said: 'I have not been oflicially notified of the deulMon of the Supremo Cuiirt, ami I can consequently give no detinite opinion in tiiis matter. I will state, however, tha. If Williamson has been granted a new ttlal, he will be tried gain." his Stofe will hereafter be closed on Sunday NNG IN YOUR CASH REGISTER SLIPS, GOOD FOR' ANY KIND OF DISHES ONLY A. M.

A The djscpyery pf ano.ther porphyry, dike, believed to be rich in gold, in, Crook county has just been announced.

George lobbs is the original djscov ererof tho dike. lie found it in the. Summer of 1905 while hunting stocky but as its value did not occur to him ho promptly forgot all about it until re? cently, when Riley Brown, of Ashwood, happening to be visiting at Dick Vando-. vert's was told by Lee liobbs, who. has been in the mining district of Southern Oregon and knows porphyry. Brown and lie went over the ground, and Leu was shortly afterward astonished to hear the old prospector say t was a Eecond Silver King, or as it is now called, Oregon King. Brown's son was, the discoverer ol the Oregon King. . Prineville Beview. ANOTHER FINE BELGIAN G.

"Cesar de Gen" was speciallv selected bv Mr. Springer as the blood best suited to cross on the get of the fine stallion which the company had tho misfortnno to los(e. Mr. Springer has been in tho business twenty-live years and he is of the opinion that this stallion is as per fect a specimen of a draft horse as ho has over seen. Crook County Journal. WILL NOT PUBLISH DELINQUENT LIST Tiie county court has decided not to advertise the 100(5 delinquent tax list this year. The list isa modenttel v largo one but tho items are small, and as a tax title is practically Worthless thero- is no prospect that buyers would take up the taxes when all they could get out of the deal would bo interest rn their money. Tho county would then bo forced to bid in tiro property. As it is, however, unpaid taxes already constitute, a lien upon tho property and the court decided thero could be nothing gained by piling up a lingo expenso bill incident to advertising and sheriff's sale, and that it would wait one year to allow tho delinquents to como forward and 'settle before disposing of the property in tho usual maimer.
