CHAPTER II
Vickers Is Placed on Trial In
Roseburg Behind Closed
Doors.
PROCEEDINGS UNKNOWN
Vnrmour AVhosc Sensational Career
of Crime Was Climaxed at
Iloscbtirg Under Itond.
"What might have been termed a
"lovo feast" took place at the offlce
of District Attorney Drown at the
court house Tuesday afternoon, the
event being the hearing of Samuel
Vickers, a man of romance, and
charged with adultery, says the
Umpqua Valley News. It was about
one o'clock when Mrs. Hose Will
lams, one of the principal witnesses
in the case, arrived from the balmy
atmosphere of her husband's farm at
Looking Glass and seated herself in
the offlce where the festivities were
to take place. It was at 1:05 when
District Attorney Brown arrived, five
minutes behind his schedule, at ter
rific speed, his gallant steed making
the, run of Its life. It was 1:10 when
Judge Long, with sullen face and
pitiful eyes quietly entered the office
and sank into the dignified chair of
Justice; it was 1:15 when Marshal
Norman strolled slowly across the
court house lawn and entered the
chamber of justice; it was 1:20 when
Sheriff Harry McClallen was called
and entered that sacred edifice where
ho might keep a watchful eyo upon
the proceedings. It was a scene long
to bo remembered, And as one man
expressed it, it might be termed as a
quaint old Puritan gathering.
As that solemn little band entered
the inner office where the trial was
to proceed you could see many ex
pressions upon their fnces; some
looked forlorn; others showed a
faint smile, porsumably the kind that
won't wear off, whMe others entered
that edifice witli the same stern look
that had frequented their counten
ances for years.
As the time for the trial drew near
many came from different places
where they might hear the testimony

but disappointment was their best
gift; It was decided that no one
should hear the testimony or witness
what occurred except those inter
ested in the case, and therefore this
disappointed assembly, after waiting
a few short moments, were ejected
from the balmy atmosphere of that
"law stained" edifice to the open of
the cold, cold worU.
What wa3 done or said behind
those dnrkened 'doors of justice is
not known; perhaps it never will bo
known; It was a trial behind closed
doors, but further than this it 13 en
shrouded in mystery. Undoubtedly
there was evidence produced before
this little band; what It was we can
not tell; it might have been of such
a nature that the outside world Is
better off without knowledge of its
details; many things may have tran
spired during this short' interval of
time, but whatever they might have
been the world is Ignorant.
As the hour for the evening meal
approached thU quaint little band re
tired to sap a bit of the inner man's
delight, but only to return a little
later )vhen they were again secluded
behind those same doors which had
so secretly hidden them In the after
noon. What transpired at the even
ing session Is as much of a mystery
as what happened before, and there
fore all those who are curious to
know the details of the affair can
only sit down and await time, which
alone will unravel the mystery which
has so closely enwrapped Itself
about the case.
Samuel Vickers was yesterday
bound over to the circuit court by
Judge Long on the charge of adul
tery, ball being fixed at 500, which
he was unable to furnish, and he
therefore languishes In the county
jail awaiting trial. Although the
trial was being held behind closed
doors, and nothing was made public
It has been learned from what we
think a rellablo source that the state
has most conclusive evidence.
Samuel Vickers, that beautiful
specimen of romance; that parasite
who "lies in wait for married women
and then by his false and malicious
manner leads thorn to wrong, per
suading them down the path of im
morality and ciime, is now behind
the bars, and only the law stands
between him and the open doors of
the state penitentiary. The crime
which it Is alleged he committed Is
one of the worst moral crimes men
can commit. It is a crime which
degrades man below the respect of

human beings, and places a blot upon
his character which time alone can
only wear off. Was ho all to blame?
Perhaps, but we have our doubts.
Do men associate with women when
not wanted? Perhaps, but it docs
not look reasonable. Do men have
to suffer for women's wrongs? Per
haps, th law is such.
The crime which it is alleged he
committed Is one seldom to come bo
fore the local courts and therefore
it will bo watched with great inter
est by the people in this vicinity.
PRICE SHIPYARD
TO BE REBUILT
Mr. Price Has Not Yet Definitely
Decided Where the Xew
Location Will He.
The Dandon Weekly Recorder
gives a story of the burning of the
Price shipyard at that place and In
part says:
"Another incident in connection
with the fire that has been circulated
by some miscreant throughout the
country and has been published in
the Times at Marshfleld, is the report
of the safe burning up with the
money of several of the employes.
The safe was in the office, which was
not even scorched, not being close to
the shipyard. The report was to the
effect that the ship inspector had
something like $1600, and Walter
Greenough, who was employed on
the job, and had ?800 in the safe,
which was so badly burned as to de
stroy all traces of the money.
"This is absolutely without foun
dation. There was never practically
any money in the safe at any time,
and none the night of the fire. All
of the employes weie paid by checks
on the local bank here, and there
was no necessity to keep any amount
of currency at the yard. This report
was started at Marshfleld, probably
told to some reporter that was look
ing for a story and to all evidences,
he found one. It is just such little
prevarications that hurt, and Mr.
Price is showing that you can't keep
a good man down.
"He will finish his business rela
tions with the underwriters this
week in San Francisco, and we may
look for him on the next Elizabeth.
He has decided to rebuild, but not as
to the location. He has been offered
the site near the Cody Mill, but he
favors the old site, Pleasant Harbor,
where the building will be more or
less sheltered from the north wind.

It would be necessary to drive a
large number of pilings nt the Cody
site to make it available for a ship
yard, and it will take him some time
to get it in readiness.
"Mr. Price was insured by two
companies, who had their agents
hero last week to look over the loss.
They gave it as a total loss, and ho
will no doubt receive his insurance,
which amounts to something like
$G500. This will give him a start
and he will get the glad hand from
all of this community of boosters
who want to see him locate hero.
He is a gentleman, and has made a
large number of friends here who
want to see him succeed in his enter
prise, and here's hoping no will stay
with us."
VEIMSI0N APLENTY
AT MYRTLE POINT
Hunters Are HeeomliiR Surfeited
With Deer and the Delectable
Dish Is Common.
The Myrtle Point family that has
not eaten of venison since the sea
son opened is hard to locate, says
the Myrtle Point Enterprise, the live
weekly published at that growing lit
tle city. Most of the hunters who
have been out came In with one or
more deer to their credit, and some
have gone the limit of the law in
number taken, which is five for the
season. As a consequence choice
venison has been quite a common ar
ticle of diet. Some of the deer have
been taken nearly in the edge of
town, but the best success Is re
ported from those who went some
distance Into the mountains.
Not only the experienced hunters
have shot deer, but several ama
teurs have had their first experience
in the chase after big game, and the
women, even, have not missed out
entirely. Mrs. John Orr is one who
not only got her deer, but made the
record shot of the party she was
with, bringing down the finest buck
of them all. Boys, in some In
stances, have made a killing.
