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!

Iver Storlie of Lanesboro, Minn., was
in the city a few days ago. Mr. Storlie
was visiting the Lewis and Clark Fair

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.
Syriuga Circle Xo. 21, - Women of
Woodcraft, installed its new officers
last Friday night and otherwise enter
tained Pocahontas Camp. Following
are the officers installed :

Ilona Howell; Attendant, Lulu
Gildersleeve; Inner Sentinel, Mary
Arnold; Outer Sentinel, Annetta Krog
stad; Musician, Emma Crosno. 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.
