John C Powers, familiarly known in all parts of 'Oregon for thojast half a century aa Jack Powers, waVf rosea to death Friday " the icy trail between. Oreneharn City ana the Intrinsic mine in the Oreonhorn Mountains.- Last Tuesday morning; Mr. Powers started out rrom Greenhorn afoot to tho (mine and three days later ho was found lying beside tho trail dead. He waa (8 year -old and quar ter of a century ago waa wealthy and prominent In.- tho political affairs of the statev---- i ; il ' - , A dark tragedy crossed his life July 4.. 1877, and It la due. to this that Jack Powers was so widely known In the state. On that date In Portland, In front of tho Esmond Hotel, he shot and killed Ben. Cornelius, his father-in-law - a wealthy and prominent cltlsen of the town of Cornelius. Powers waa twice tried Vor murder, twice found guilty and twice sentenced to be hung. - Tho sen tence was commuted to life Imprison-, ment by Gov. Pennoyer and eventually the Board of Pardons gave him his lib- Arty. The prosecuting attorney. In this case was Judge John F. Caples of Van couver and at one of the trials Judge Caples , made the memorable remark: Now, gentlemen of the Jury, let us rea son together- for a little while.". He then removed his collar and necktie and spoke for two days. Powers married the daughter of Cor nelius , but their married . life waa not happy and eventually they separated, Powers threatened to kill both his wife and her father if she did not coma back and Jive with him. On the jfourth of July mentioned Cornelius and hia two daughters, one of whom was Powers' wife, and his son Charles., now a promi nent Portland physician, came to Port land and atopped at the Esmond. Jack Powers was also at the Esmond. Tbe two men met on the street and Powers said: -"One of us must die before sun down." Both men . went to the same clothing store, purchased new suits and put them- on; both men went to Beck's gun store and bought 88 caliber Smith ft Wesson revolvers, arnd at sundown they met opposite the .Esmond in front of the St. Charles Hotel, and immediately a fusllads began. Nobody aaw who fired the first shot. The first man to reach the combatants was Charles F. Hyde, then a student at Pacific University at Forest Grove, now a prominent - law yer of Baker City. He found Cornelius lyftig flat on his back and Powers qn his knees. The men were firing at each other. Mr. Hyde threw them apart. At that moment Charlie Cornelius ran out of the hotel with two pistols and tried to shoot Powers. He was disarmed by a young music teacher who took the weapons to Wisdom's drug store. A warrant was sworn out for Charles Cor nelius and placed In the hands of Dan 8prague, a constable, but it was never served or heard of afterwards. Sprague Is the same man who was in the shoot ing scrape with Brown and Johnson, when" they made a raid on O' Shea's pawn shop. They were afterwards hanged. , As sssn as Powers, recovered from his wounds he was tried for the murder of .Cornelius, ..with lh,,rasult-sJredjrste.ted,' i uriiwiu, mier tin wtto- aiiui, wb ir- s moved to tho Esmond Hotel and died . at 8 o'clock next morning. g l'-xfhttsklecting- Holiday- 01ft iv s, t -5 tr.-llx It? .alwayiii comfort fasknovvi f i d B y- v . v that the artce purchas' rv Hiv - .;;Wri-Is-.-lna;eway;excIuslveno - - ' :''''' he ibund : In every shop : - :'' , .: . ; . ana store or snown m every I ' ; v window, ;a:: '::".,.:; r7. !--" . - si.-..x,'Vi - QURj HOUIOAY LINES ARE OF OUR OWN SELECTION Orientalrtre V ; ' ; Wvrt&X&sX Vases & Boxes French Stag Toilet Articles & Sets HIQH GRADE French PerfuriiesV ;r our own direct Importations; Intend-.
