saw the 29 men who registered at tha
hotel the night before election. He
swore that lhlF bill. Amounting to I2. ; . .
was paid by J. W,. Reed, contractor at ;
the Uaks, with a check of the Oregon 1
Water Powor A Railway company. .
Whether the bill was settled with 4 .
check drawn by the O. W. P. or by a -draft
on that corporation, the wltnesgl
did not state.', Offlctala of the O. W. P.
have heretofore strenuously denied thai
the paper given by Reed to the propria -tor
of the hotel was one of ths com
pany's checks. It Is expected that fur
ther evidence will be- taken on this)
point. Ai-N.- Fosdlck. proprietor of that -hotel,
hae been eubpoenaed by the grand.

10 years. On- eJecUon day h was aur--- ,
prised at the number of strange face . ,
at the polls. He became convinced that
some of the men who came to vote were)
not resldente of the precinct and cha1
lenged a number of the etrangere. In

In their votes.'- Petsch said that he
knew the men who ' signed the eftl-
davits of the questionable voters. Thejr
were residents of Sellwood and be be . ,.
Ueved .they were property owners, so he
could do nothing but accept the vote
of the men for whom they vouched. -

Reed asked him about his vote. He re
