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."

the to-be wealth producer.
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. .

ANOTHER FINE BELGIAN
G. Springer, president of the Hay
stack Livestock Association has re?
turned from Portland with a fine Tiel
gian stallion to take the place of the one
recently lost by his company. "Cesar
de Gen," as the new stallion is called, ia
a coal black horse of remarkably perfect
build. The animal was imported dur
ing the Summer from Belgium by A. C,
Ruby & Company of Portland. "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. Prineville Jtoviow.
