Because C XL Johnson, a deputy, pro
tested againat lntructlon from Sheriff
Storey to rid around the country In a
, buggy and tack up signs asking th
' 'publto to vot for Storey for abetlff,
orders were given Chief Deputy Fred
Matthews to discharge him; and have
his oommlMlon on file with the county
'clerk revoked. For about IB minute
the liveliest scene that has been Wit'
nessed at the courthouse in many a day
took place.
It appear that tact Wednesday Storey
Mat Deputy Sheriff Proebatel out In a
butty to tack up these posters on office
time,' He had another mission In the
1 'serving of a Jury summons on Patrick
Lynch, nine mile out on the Base Line j
" road. ProebsteL acting under orders
from 8torey, was tone from 9 o'clock
In the morning until 4 o'clock In the
afternoon.
Obey or Basics.
- Storey sent Proebatel and Harvey
. Moreland. another deputy, out for the
-nam purpose In a butty yesterday, and
Proebatel has been engaged In the same
work again today. It was a ease with
the deputies of either obeying- orders or
quitting their positions. This morning
Storey asked Johnson to go out and
tack up signs on office time. Johnson
declared that be would do so under pro-
teat. .
. The sheriff flew Into a rage and.
rushing around the office, declared he
would have no "traitors" in his em
ploy. ' He asked Johnson If he Intended
supporting Stott for sheriff snd was
answered In the affirmative. This an
swer was the signal for another out
burst
Johnson Befnse to Quit.
"I call on youv to hand in your r It-
nation this minute, he shouted, brand
ishing his flats, excitedly.
"1 refuse to resign. Tou will have
to' fire' me," declared Johnson.
Herman Schneider, office deputy,
gave Johnson a summons to' serve and
got him out of the room In order to
avoid a personal encounter. Then he
started to gather up his own things
preparatory to quitting work and leav
ing the office. In the meantime. Storey
instructed Matthews to revoke John
aon'a commission, and walked out of the
building.
Realising that the affairs of the of
fice would become ao badly mixed with
out 8chnelder In two days' time that
no official work could be carried on
In that department of the county ser
vice. Matthews managed to get him to
forego his Intention of quitting work.
With Schneider would have gone Dep
uty Sheriff Kelly, another experienced
and trusted employe. Matthews has
not yet revoked Johnson s commission.
County Judge Webster will return to
the city Sunday and be on the bench
Monday.. Storey's practice of sending
deputies out on office time to tack up
campaign material will be drawn to his
attention.

A sensation was created In the circuit
court this morning by a speecb Of At
torney John Pitchburn, who subjected
he Oregon State Bar association to a
vitriolic roast. His language was
scathing, the strongest statement being
that at a banquet held by th associa
tion two years ago the members-, actod
most Indlscretely and told 'stories that
would have sounded better la a saloon.
"So far as the Oregon Stat. Bar as-
oolatlon In concerned," declared .tbo
rate lawyer, as he brought ' his - fist
down on the table with a . resounding
whack, "it haa many good and honor
ble men on Its list of membership. .1
onor the body for having such men on
s rolls as your honor and Bufu Mai-
lory. And that is all I oar to say in Its
defense. v
'Two years ago the Oregon Stat Bar
association held a banquet and engaged
In scenes of debauchery, several mem
bers telling ' atorlea ao filthy they
would have disgraced a meeting of mac
quereaux. That banquet la enough to
condemn th aaaoctatlon la. th eyes of
any decent man, and to th decent
members X offer my condolence.
The association has never don any
good. It was not created by any stat
ute, and is not Incorporated. I do not
propoa to submit to Its dictation In any
manner, and X am thankful I am not a
member."
The utterance of Attorney Dltchburn
occurred during an argument before
Presiding Judge Oeorge In the circuit
court, on a demurrer interposed by th
lawyer to th second amended answer of
Attorney Riohard Nixon, .In the suit
brought against him to recover $50,000
damages for libel It was held by Judge
Cleland tlast week that th Oregon
State Bar association Is a quasi-Judicial
body, and he refused to strike out th
defense of Nixon that his communica
tion to that body was privileged. A
second answer was then filed by Nixon
and another demurrer interposed by
Dltchburn.
During th argument this morning
