In making the final determination,

appointed plumbing' Inspector of this
city by Mayor Lan. Thomas n.
Hiilme, who formerly . held the office.
had contested th mayor's right to ap
point another Inspector. And In pass
ing upon thl case. Judge Cleland an
nounced that the court and not th con
testing attorney would decide on th
las.
For soma tlm after Hey had been ap
pointed to th offlc by Mayor Lane
Hulme refused to give tip th book
of th office-nor would he vacate the
quarters of that department at the oity
halC - But . he waa. at last - forced out
and Hey Instated. Through hi .attor
ney, John F. -Logan,- Hulra began 'a'
suit In th circuit -court to retain hi
position as , plumbing Inspector.
Before th case wa argued a stipulation-between
John F. Logan, for Hulme,
and Richard . W. Montagu - and John
Ryan, attorney for Hey, wa filed. Iq
which It waa set -forth that Hulme had
been declared inspector .by the city coun
cil, while Hey had taken th civil serv
ice examination, passed It and been ap
pointed to -the-office by th mayor.
. , rioablnf Law Holds.
. : When th case cam up for argument
Hey' attorneys cited a section of the
plumbing -law passed by the legislature
of 108,' which stated that "th mayor
of very Incorporated 'city or town con
taining more than . 6,000' Inhabitants
shall appoint a plumbing Inspector for
his H or town. Counsel for Hulme
objected' toth' citing' of that law - In
question.' saying that there waa nothing
o It in th filed atlpulatlon. ' Th objec
tion wa overruled. -Then' It was argued
br Loa-aiV thut a part of the law had
been declared unconstitutional by Judge
George, o th . whole) ; set t waa "down

"Of course I will appeal tha.caa to

Such was th decision of Presiding

he holding that th atat law that gave

are wiser than th constitution, but
that doe not change th formers firm

A contention on th part of th plain

. . ' . Tra Vaets la. Caa. -;'
The facta concerning- th Craln case
sre aa follows. They can be verified
ha spy f itt I I if"""","
The Oregonian, however, will probably
not feel Inclined.
Wllford Craln cam Into thla city the
morning of November ST. He drank ex
ceaslvely during the entire day and '
near 4 o'clock, when hi bolaterouanesa
attracted the attention of City Marshal ,
Harrington, he waa reeling with drink. .
When Harrington attempted his arrest,
Craln resisted and a fight ensued. Har
rington struck Craln with hi billy, and
when Craln attempted to rise from th
ground and renew tne fight he Was
truck again. Th laat blow across th
ear brought unconsciousness. - Craln a
kull waa not fractured, aa aet forth In
Dr. Belknap's certificate, and h haa
recovered from both hi Intoxication
and th effect of the blow. -
Craln haa been arrested several times
before thl year for th sam offenses
he was guilty of a few daya ago. He
haa many - times, threatened Harrington
with bodily Injury, and haa mad hi
brag that he would put Harrington out
of business as soon aa th latter term
of office expired. The 111 feeling which.
Craln hold against Harrington la of
14 yeara' standing, and originated when
Harrington married Crain'a - sister.
Xairlngton Opposed Wllltamsoa.
Harrington waa opposed to Congress
man Williamson politically ever Sine)
th latter first ran tor office. The Oregon- '
lan'a assertion , that Harrington Is
staunch friend and supporter of Wil
liamson and felt keenly Craln's testi
mony In th land trials. 1 so palpably,
false that It needs no contradiction.
Crain'a connection with the land cases
had nothing whatever to do with his
recent trouble and arrest. A few hours
before he resisted the marshal. Craln
entered a saloon and avowed hi determin
ation to punish Harrington, a threat he
had made many times beror notn wnen
sober and under th Influence of liquor.
Harrington, knowing the man's disposi
tion, waa not slow in using rorciDiw
means whll placing Craln under ar
rest. Only a short tim a go Harrington
waa more lenient with him while plac
ing htm under arrest and received se
vers Injuries as a result.
These are th facta. - Th Oregonian
cannot prove to th contrary. 'And they
form th faint ahadow out or whtcn
prang th monstrosities published as
news matter andladltortals by th Ore
gonian. - '
- Slander and Deceit. .
But the Oregonian did not ear In
publish th truth. Its purpose would
have been balked. So from a common
street brawl, hardly worthy of notice.
It ha woven the most slanderous ar
ticles ever published In an Oregon
newspaper. The rank deceit fulness, th
