Mr. " H. W. Stone. . general secretary
of the T. M. C. A., who has been east
on an extended trip, returned last night,
his train being four days and 14 hours
Iste. .The unusual delay was caused by
washouts near Dickinson, North Dakota,
at which place the train was held up for
over two day a.- Mr. Stone is- lotd. in

The country was scoured by the rail

that would prove a by to criminal

have taken a leading part In the in

that there will be no lack of testimony,
and. add that only a miscarriage or jus

conspiracy from being brought to trial.

the bills of the tt over-night colonisers
who registered at the Hotel Sellwood
the night before election, hss changed

least shadow of a right to cast- a vote
in Sellwood precinct. -.'.-V:
There was no secrecy about the op
erations . of the - conspirators. They
seemed to thtnk that the law against
perjury had - been repealed. On elec
tion day men were marched to the Sell
wood polls In banda. Affidavits were
prepared in a ' cigar store across the
street from the polling -place. When
one of the visiting voters presented his
affidavit: and made application to vote
the chairman ; of the election board
aaked, "Where are your property own
ers?" The v invariable ' answer was,
"Across th street." Then the obliging
officials went to the door snd called for
the property owners who were to""vouch
for the man Irrquesrkm.-- The sponsors
at one started to cross the street, but
often to save time they stopped half
way, held up their hands and took what
might be called a long-dlstanc oath.
Had Barker to Call Vamea.
Sellwood was th busiest polling place
in all the county: In order .to lose no
time th conspirators had a barker who
stood st ths polls and called out the
names of men listed to vote by affi
davit. : Sometimes it happened that the
hotel .guest wanted at that particular
time was engaged in trying to get his
bearings, fearing that he might become
lost. Then there wss great confusion
and running to and fro until the missing
msn wss found. cVefully guided to the
voting place and voted. All the while
