ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
Allen Logan Indicted for Murder In
The First Degree.
The grand jury of Polk County
has returned an indictment against
Allen Logan for the killing of
Enoch Sylvester, charging him
with the crime of murder in the
fiist degree.
The indictment was returned
last Tuesday evening, after the
grand jury had examined about
twenty difierent witnesses. The
defendant was arraigned and took
his day to plead. He entered a plea
of not guilty, and the trial begun
yesterday.
For the defense subpoenas were
telegraphed to Sheriff Landis on
Wednesday, for the following wit
nesses: C. B. Crosno, Chas. Altree,
Mrs. Emma Burns, Geo. Chambers,
Ralph and Merle Vancleve of this
place, and Geo. Bethers, of New-!
port. Mr. Crosno and Mr. Bethers
were subpoenaed to testify as to the
previous good character of the de
fendant, the former having known
him almost all his life, and the lat
ter having been his teacher for some
time. The other wituesees were at
the hopyard when the fight oc
cured. The trial is now in progress and
will be hotly contested. The State
is represented by S. L. Haydeu, a
son of Ben Hayden, and he has the
reputation of being a vigorous pros
ecutor, and is undoubtedly a very
able one. The defendant is defen
ded by Judge McFadden, of Cor
vallis, Judge Weatherford, of Al
bauy, and Messrs. Butler & Town
send, of Independence.
The outcome of the trial will be
watched for with great interest by
a great many people of this county,

the boy defendant's lather and fam
ily for years.

Notice is hereby given that I

us that their former theory regard
ing the robbery has been exploded.
They are still working on the case
