JUNE WEATHER SUMMARY
Dwight Rice was shot and killed by
H. P. Walter at Leland in Josephine
county, Saturday evening. The story, as
heard by the T idings reporter at Leland
is as follows:
Rice, the dead man, and Walters were
married to sisters. Rice abused and
maltreated hie wife, who applied for and
was granted a divorce from him lees than
a year ago. In the divorce case Mrs.
Walters was a witness for her sister in
court. Since that time Rice has taken
every opportunity to villify and insult
Mrs. Walters by abusive language. He
had, naturally, been drawn into a quar­
rel with Mr. Walters over the affair, and
had at times threatened to whip or kill
him.
Walter (who is a quartz-mill operator
and has worked at the mines of John C.
Lewis in Josephine) lives with his wife at
a cabin just across the railroad track
aud a few rods from Leland station.
Saturday evening about seven o’clock,
Rice appeared at Leland, under the in­
fluence of liquor, and sought a quarrel
with the Walters family. He stood near
the railroad track and called for Walters
to come out and see him. Walters paid
no attention to him at first, but finally
went outside his cabin and requested
him to keep still or go away. Rice
poured out a volume of vituperation and
threatened to kill Walter, flourishing a
pistol. Walter went into his bouse and
took up a 32-caliber Marlin rifie, with
which he appeared in front of the door.
Rice dropped behind a log or stump and
appeared to be trying to get a shot at
Walters from cover. Finally he rose and
talked threateningly agaiu.
Walters
warned him not to come any nearer, but
Rice began to advance, just as he raised
his pistol as if to shoot, Walter fired and
Rice fell dead. The bullet entered the
body in front below the waist and lodged
iu the spinal column, the severiug of the
spinal cord causing instant death.
Geo. P. Furman, the depot agent, G.
L. Hale and W. S. Barney saw the whole
affair from the railroad station.
Coroner Kremer, District Attorney
Benson aud Sheriff Hyde, took the night
freight from Grants Pass, aud the coron­
er’s inquest was held early ou Sunday
morning. The jury was composed of
James Stewart, Fred H. Briggs, C. D.
Burnett, Alex. Gage, George Anderson
and John Murray. Mrs. Walter aud
Messrs. Furman. Hale, Barney and Wal­
ter were examined as witnesses aud the
jury promptly exonerated Walters by
rendering a verdict which declared the
homicide justifiable, it being clearly in
self-defense.
Josephine county is having more than
her share of murders this year, there be­
ing now held for appearance before the
next grand jury three men charged with
murder, the Brownihg brothers, who
killed a man in a quarrel over a mining
claim at the head of Grave creek, and
old man Fiester, who deliberately
drowned his wife in a small pool of water
beside the railroad track a few miles
north of Grants Pass one day last month.
