a Portland theatre during tfie present
season. Individually, collectively, arti
ficially and naturally, the chorus Is
distinctively IT.
There are some good voices, too, both
in and out of the chorus. Mary Qulve,
as Nightingale, used hers to the im
mense delight of an appreciative audi
ence and sne got many a hand on tier
solo numbers. Then along came the
turtle dove In the person of Constance
Farmer and Jenny Wren whose name
on the program is Leila Smith and all
these during various periods of exuber
ance on tha part of the audience re
ceived an ovation proper and fitting to
me amount and worm or their errorts.
The music In "Woodlnnd," of course,
is one of its most fetching features.
The orchestra no sooner begins to play
than the whole gallery Is one great,
big; pucker. And there you have the
first secret of success in any musical
Opera. "Woodland's" songs and marches
are sung and played with pleasing ef
fect and the spectacular burnlshmenta
in addition are a palatable morsel.
"Woodland" will appear at the Hel

The fire started in the Cosy Corner
confectionery. It was first discovered
by G. Bhollenberg, who owns 23 build
ings. Newport has no fire protection.
The flames made a clean sweep on Main
street to the Leone & Hearth bank. The
wind then subsided and by this fortu
nate chance the remainder of the busi
ness district, which had seemed doomed,
escaped.
The origin of the fire Is not known.

PROSECUTORS
W PROBE DUEL
District Attorney's Office In
vestigating Fight at Jack
sonville in Which James
Mankin Was Killed by
Wal worths.
'fipoll Plipstcb to Tb Joornal.)
Jacksonville, Or., Jan. 8. Investiga
tion of the shooting affray at the Man-
kin ranch Here last Saturday, in which
James Mankin was killed and C. H. and
N. W. Waisworth were injured, has been
carried on here by the district attor
ney's office.
Detailed account of the affair as
learned by the prosecutor shows that
the Mankin family bought the old
Bleechor ranch, on which ranch is sit
uated a cabin owned by one Shepherd.
In this cabin lived Charley Walsworth,
his wife and their 20-year-old on.
Henry Mankin came to Jacksonville,
December 28, and got a notice requir
ing the Walsworths to ouit the cabin
within 10 days.
The Walsworths for a few montns
past had been cutting wood and Haul
ing it to town and selling It for the
Manklns. The reason the Munkins
wanted to get rid of the Walsworths was
because there had been some friction
between the two families over tha
amount of money due the Manklns on
account of the sale of the wood, the
Manklns claiming that the Walsworths
were "high grading" on them.
Henry Mankin, armed with the notice
to ault, asked Uert Illlngworth to ac-
eomDanv him as a witness. They found
Walsworth, his son ana ioya uyer in
the Walsworth stable.
Henry presented his notice to the
elder Walsworth. and it was refused
1th heat. Henry, however, proved to,
be handy with his organs of speech.l
and Walsworth provided himself wlti
nttr-hfork. Henrv retreated a lew
steps and got a club about the size of
bat. At this juncture James man
kin was seen coming about 100 yards
away with a long club, whereupon wais-
worth dropped his for ana ran towara
his house, saying:
dots for Oan.
If they prefer guns I'll try to ac
commodate them." Both Henry and
Bert shouted that James had ,no gun,
but Walsworth ran to the house, fol
lowed bv his son.
W. Carroll Mankin came running with
an absolutely new 30-40 Marlln, and
Belle Mankin, their young sister,
brought a 12-gauge pump gun. James
took the shotgun and Henry took the
Marlln. The Walsworths had two Win
chesters, a 3-40 and a 38. Carroll and
James retired behind a tree, and Henry,
Bert and James took refuge behind a
wagon, 30 yards' distant from the door
of the Walsworth cabin.
Walsworth senior fired the first shot.
It In claimed, which did no execution.
Walsworth senior fired again, the ball
naaalnir through the nrim -or Men s nut.
Bert retired. Within 10 minutes of
the time when the shot was fired Bert
was exhibiting the hat in Jacksonville.
James fired with the shotgun, most
of the load taking effect in Walsworth's
arm, a good many of the shot also
striking his face. Henry then shot
with his Marlln and hit Walsworth near
the left eye, the ball scraping around
th head and comlncr out behind the
left ear. Walsworth fell over on his I
face and was later found in a pool of
blood by Mr. Grant.
Exchange Shots.
From the opposite corner of the house
Walsworth Junior and James exchanged
shots at the same instant. Walsworth
Junior receiver a load of BB's in his
face and arm and hand, and the ball
from Walsworth's Kun struck James
about In the center of his body, coming
out about four inches from his spine.
hetween the eleventh and tweirtn riD.
WAlmvorth lunior then retired into the
bush, aa in the meantime had done all
the spectators, leaving on me ncne
only Charley Walsworth and James
Mankin.
The Manklns then sent In ror the
herlfP and Mr. Grant went out and
brouarht in Charles Walsworth. A lit
tle later the younger Walsworth volun
tarily came to Jacksonville and was
locked up.
Ball Cannot Be round.
The ball that killed James Mankin
could not be found. The autopsy v
performed by Drs. Robinson and Hes
ter. They made full notes, but were un
able to discover the else of the ball that
had killed Mankin. The Jacket off a
small shell ball was, however, found
where it had been stopped by a rib, but
no hole had been made through any
bone.
While the Manklns are said to be
.aw-abidlng and peaceable, their Mar
lln Is absolutely new and their part of
the program went off with such expedi
tion that it is believed they were ex
pecting trouble.

I recommend them to every one. A
few weeks ago I heard an old lady
friend was sick. I went to see her.
She was down with LaOrlppe, and
nearly crasy with awful backache.
I gave her one of the Autl-Paln Pills
and left another for her to take In
a short time. They helped her right
away, and she says she will never be
without them again. Last winter my
husband was taken with pluerlsy on
