GUILTY
Jury Returns Verdict Today
After Being Out Seventeen
Hours.
JUDGE SENTENCES
HIM AT 4 O'CLOCK.
Penalty Is From One to Fifteen
- Years Imprisonment
May Appeal.
(Special to The Times.)
COQU1LLE, Ore, June 20.
Judge Hamilton this afternoon
(sentenced Holland Anderson to
live years imprisonment for the
iniirdei' of Sirs. E. S. Gordon.
(Special to The Times.)
COQUILLE, Ore., Juno 2G. A
verdict of guilty of manslaughter
was returned by the jury in tho case
of Holland, or "Mazook" Anderson,
who was tried on the charge of mur
der in the first degree for having
shot and killed Mrs. E. S. Gordon of
North Bend at Marshfield, May 9.
Tho jury was out seventeen hours,
the case having been submitted to
them at 5 o'clock yesterday and the
verdict being reported at 10 o'clock
this morning.
Judge Hamilton announced that he
would impose sentence at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. The Oregon statutes
provide a penalty of from one to
fifteen years imprisonment for man
slaughter. It Is understood that tho jury
stood three for acquittal and nine
for conviction on the first ballot and
that the verdict was not agreed upon
until many ballots showing no parti
cular change had been taken.
Surprise to Anderson.
Anderson was surprised at tho ver
dict as he had confidently expected
to bo acquitted. While he stood the
trial well, he has practically broken
down since the jury announced its
verdict.
Attorneys Hammond, McKnight
and S&jrwood who represented An
dersonltannounce that they will ap
peal fowl now trial, and declare that
they arlgonfldent that Anderson will
be acquHLed on a second trial.
Attorneys Brown and Liljeqvlst
who prosecuted the case, are satis
fled with the verdict although they
had confidently hoped to secure con
viction on the charge in the indict
ment, murder in the first degree.
In case, there should be a second
trial, E. S. Gordon, the par amour
or husband of the dead woman, will
undoubtedly be called In as a wit
ness. EUREKA BRINGS MANY

D. H. Dollar of Steamship
Company of 'Frisco Secures
Big Holdings Here.
D. H. Dollar of San Francisco, rep
resenting the Dollar Steamship Com
pany which is one of largest on the
coast, lias been on Coos Bay for
sometime purchasing timber lands in
this vicinity and has announced that
it is tho company's intention to put
in a ship yard of its own on Coos
Bay. Just when the ship yard will
be built, will depend upon business
conditions, but at any event will be
within a comparatively short time.
Mr. Dollar is said to have secured
a large amount of timber land, tim
ber especially adapted to ship build
ing. In his timber land purchases,
he is anticipating the future and Is
buying heavily at prices considerably
in advance of what has hitherto been
paid because the company wishes to
secure a supply that will protect it
for years against tho shortage of ma
terial which is certain to bo evident
In the near future.
Mr. Dollar Is said to have been
quite reticent concerning his plans
but has intimated that when they do
build the shipyard, it will employ up
wards of a hundred men. Mr. Sway
ne of the Hoyt & Swayne Company
of 'Frisco, which is negotiating for
the Courtney mill, has been aiding
Mr. Dollar in the timber land pur
chases.
"Jack" Matthews of Portland
on Coos Bay to Adjust Litiga
tion Over Property.
"Jack" Matthews, sometimes
known as tho "Oregon political
boss," reached Coos Bay from Port
land on tho Eureka today to en
deavor to adjust the legal entangle
ments of tho Courtney mill on Isth
mus Inlet. Mr. Matthews is ono of
the principal stockholders or credit
ors of the Courtney enterprise.
Mr. Matthews believes that within
a few days ho can adjust tho Hens
and claims so that the property can
be utilized soon. He Is said to per
sonally be in favor of selling It to
other parties.
There are two concerns trying to
purchase the property, the Hoyt
Swayne company of San Francisco,
shipowners, lumber mill proprietors
and lumber dealers, being the most
likely ones.

Portland Seeress Tells Coos
Bay Young Woman That
Home City Will Be Des
troyed By Fire Before Next
Tuesday.
The prophecy by a Portland seer
ess that 'ere next Tuesday passes.
Marshfleld will bo In ruins, its homes
and business blocks swept by fire, is
arousing much interest among local
people. The prophecy was made
about ten days ago to two young
ladies who were getting their for
tunes told in Portland, and they
promptly apprised Fire Chief Tom
Nicols. Mr. Nlcols is not much of a
believer in seeress or forecasts, but
any rumor of fire always keys him
up to a high pitch and ho is doubly
on the alert for anything that may
happen. Tho names of tho young
ladies, ono of whom resides horo and
the other in Portland, but who has
visited Coos Bay, aro not given out.
According to tho story, tho young
women went to a fortune teller in
Portland just for a lark. Whether
she is a trance medium, palmist or
reader of the astral bodies, Mr. Ni
cols doesn't know.
"Within two weeks, your homo
city will bo In ruins," she told the
Marshfield young lady, doubtless
after she had dwelt on lovo affairs

she continued. "There may be deaths

To the Portland young lady, she
told a similar story, but was correct
In stating that the latter did not
como from the city that was to be
visited by disaster, but merely had
visited there. The ability of the
seeress to tell the young women that
they did not como from the same
place impressed them so much that
they immediately wrote to friends

prised Mr. Nlcols.

MARE THE CITY
Marshfield Resident Endorses
Campaign For1 Municipal
Improvement.
Marshfleld, Or., June 25.
Editor of Daily Coos Bay Times:
Encouraged by reading the two
articles in tho Daily Times, of June
23d on page 2, under tho heading
"C. A. Smith on Street Paving,'' and
on Juno 25th, on page 2, "Plea For
a City Beautiful," from a speech
made before the Marshfleld city
council, by Mr. Otto A. Welle.
I humbly ask you to keep up your
good work in the cause of showing
the property owners of tho city of
Marshfleld, how it can be improved
and beautified at a small cost per
lot, when they will adopt the ways
and means by which other cities
have and are doing It today.
The following is' a brief statement
from one who lived in the city of
Chicago, when It was styled tho back
woods country town by tho larger
cities of Boston, Philadelphia and
Now York, and has been identified
with Chicago until it had nearly
threo imllions of people, and prac
tically saw there the streets paved
with wooden-blocks, as also in his
travels In tho cities of Cloveland,
Detroit, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, St.
Louis and many of the smaller cities
in the middle west, paved with tho
wood block system.
Considering the climatic condi
tions in thoso cities, where tho frost
penetrates from threo to nine feet
into the ground through tho best
and hardest pavements knoyn, and
raises tho streets out of shape, and
tho awful heat In tho summer, when
It contracts tho pavements and melts
the binders, notwithstanding all of
these unfavorable conditions, wood
en block pavements last Ave to ten
years, although the loads hauled over
the principal wholesale and manufac
turing districts range tens of thou
sands dally and weighing from ono
to four tons to tho load.
Tho city of Marshfleld will never
be subjected to such severo tests
from either cllmato or traffic, even
though she may become tho Chi
cago of the Pacific seaboard, Her
paved streets will bo used only for
tho lighter retail teams. Tho whole
sale and manufacturing teaming will
bo dono on tho watorways of Mill,
Coal bank and Isthmus inlets. Yes,
"Poney Inlet up as far as tho Marsh
fleld, waterworks will bo used for the
heavy traffic, too," hence block pave
ment will last hero twenty-five years.
Without giving tho full specifica
tions of how tho work is being done
In tho cities mentioned, a block pave
ment on the resldenco street of sixty
feot width, If tho confer is paved
only twenty to twenty-four foot
wide, tho cost will not oxceed $50 to
$C0 per each twenty-flvo foot front
lot, leaving In tho first caso twouty
feet on each side of tho street for
