Mttcoht Volume XIII. Toledo, Lincoln County, Oregon, Friday, July 21, 1905. Number 21 The Windup. Tlio July term of Circuit Court for Lincoln 'county came to a close last Friday iifternoon wben the Grand Jury returned ' not a true bill " in the cane of the State of Oregon vs. Fred Green and Minnie Green. The details of this cafe are well known to readers of The Leader, and it review would be a waste of time and spare. E. G. Sharratt is still dead, and those who believe, or profess to believe, lie committed suicide constitute a very small minority. One of the members of the Grand Jury informs us that the evidence supported the theory of mur der, but did uot point to the perpe trators of the crime iu other words, did not prove the guilt of the accused. If a G rand Jury can legally usurp the functions of a trial Jury, then the lat ter might well be banished from the dispeusary of justice. It is not for The Leader to say the proceedings were illegal or irregular, but they cer taiuly were somewhat unusual, and by no means satisfactory to the majority of our citizens, who desired that the case be tried in open court, and upon its merits. It purely would have cost no more possibly uot as much. When Court convened the State was ready to proceed with the case, but no little de lay and consequent expense resulted fnm the absence of witnesses for the defense. Another point: If the evi dence was all on the side of the de fense, then the defense had nothing to fear from a trial ; in fact, a vindication of this nature would have brought more glory to the already more or less illustrious attorneys for the defense, and at the same time been of more value to the defendants. If the de fense had a sure thing, one can hardly understand why an attorney for the defense-did not turn down the oppor tunity to do regulation trir.l stunts behind the barred doors of the Grand Jury room and thus give the admiring populace a chance to see how he did it. What a lot of . sweetness has .been wasted ou the desert air! Baseball. A good game was played at Siletz ou the 10th (Sunday, by the way) between the. Siletz Warriors and the Tigers of Toledo, the latter winning by a score of 18 to 12. Siletz played an errorless game, but three bobbles by the Tigers let in six runs.

Mr. Storlie was visiting the Lewis and Clark Fair aud was persuaded by a citizen of the Alst'u bay country to lake a look ut Lincoln county, with the result that the gentleman has purchased a farm near Bay View aud will bring his .fam ily from Minnesota as soon as he can dispose of his property there. Here is h pointer for all our citizens: When you visit the Fair, talk for Lincoln county. Mr. Storlie is an old acquaint ance of our fellow-citizens K. M. Bor gen and Otto O. Krogstad, The Hint Hornerian. On his return recently from an ex tended tour through eastern Oregon, Prof. J. B. Horner of the Oregon Agri cultural College made the following statement to The Lkader: "Eastern Oregon is a vast wealth produciog region ; and, as might be expected, the people as a rule are either well-to-to or wealthy. They are an active, busy people, who are bringing the country to the front, and they are thoroughly loyal to western Oregon, where they are frequent visit ors. In Sherman, Wasco and Umatilla counties I met many who have sniffed the ocean breeze and enjoyed the scen ery of Yaquina Bay. They all seem to think they will cime again and bring others. It occurs to me, therefore, that it is our duty to acquaint visiting friends with the seaside and other at tractions of the state, so they will visit every locality and become acquainted with the resources. This may induoe them to return soon, with the steadfast resolution to become citizens of Or egou. Evidently this is au opportunity to do some telling letter-writing for Oregon. "Oregon seaside resorts certainly rank with the finest in the world. Ev ery attraction belonging to ocean and beach may be found here; and it is but patriotio and proper to announce this fact to friends visiting the Lewis and Clark Fair, so that when they come so far they may see and enjoy more than their hearts could have hoped. ' "The enjoyable journeys through onr delightful valleys will impress so many from dryer localities with our green fields, pretty meadows aud garden homes, where contentment reigns, ab solute and supreme." It is to be hoped these timely sug gestions from a well known and highly respected citizen are not wasted. Stand up for Lincoln county. Circle Installs.

Graud Manager Annie Hawkins was the in stalling officer. At the conclusiou of the ceremony of installation the Woodmen selected partners for supper by guessing them by their eyes as they peeped through two peep holes in a screen. Some of the choppers couldn't guess a little bit k a fact much to their credit when you sit down quietly aud ponder over it awhile. Don't you really think so? Refreshments were followed by the usual tribute to the farmer's dog, and another good time was placed to the credit of Syringa Circle. Sunday Excursions.
