Jurors Drawn For Circuit Court MURDER CASE UP FROM THIS SECTION State's Evidence Will Be Mostly Circumstanclal C.Sam Smith CaseMay Again Come Up For Hearing Many Civil Cases On Docket DAVID LINDSAY IS FOUND DEAD David Lindsay, a well known resident of the Hay Creek vi cinity, was found lying on the ground dead, about five miles east of Madras last Friday morn ing between eight and nine o'lock, by A. C. Philpott, his team standing'near tied to a tel egraph pole. One of the Pier- son boys immediately came to town and notified Justice Jack son, who, being unable to notify any of the authorities at Prine ville, went out to the location of Lindsay's body and impaneled a jury consisting of John McTag- gart, Walter Sayre, William Hess G. N. Pillette, A. Pierson and S. F. Robertson, whose verdict was that Mr. Lindsay had died from natural causes or from a fall from his wagon. Lindsay had been subject to heart failure, and circumstances tend to show that that was the cause of his death. Some of his friends have remarked that his end would probably come in this manner. David Lindsay was a member of the I. 0. 0. F. st Antelope, and the Odd Fellows' lodge at this place took charge of the re mains, and held the funeral ser vices of the Order over the,body, Rev. J. H. Barkley, assisting; interment being made in the Madras cemetery. Mr. Lindsay was possessed of considerable property near Hay creek, where he has been a resi dent for several years. He is not known to have any relatives in this country, and is thought to be a native of Scotland.

The case of the State of Or egon against Dan Karough, who is being held in the county jail for the murder of his foreman in the railroad construction camp near Madras at midnight on July 16, is the only case to date where a man's life is at stake.' In this case there is much circumstan tial evidence, and some direct evidence, but as most of the wit nesses are Karough's own coun trymen it is a question as to what will be brought out at the trial. The case of the State of Or egon against C. Sam Smith is on the docket, and will be taken up at this time. This case is re ferred back to the district court for a rehearing, from the su preme court of the state on technicalities. OLD DALLSS R DENT DIES George W.
