He has a wife and five smnll children and last year he took tip his residence on a tract of this land, -built a cabin and put out a garden. However, he was at the mercy of those twho had fenced the land, and the cattle , overran his place, destroying his aar. den and his means of livelihood and .compelling him to move to Merrill, where he obtained work for the winter. :, He states he will return to his home stead in the spring.

Another bill la to be introduced in the house naming Pen dleton. Both places are making a hard fight for headquarters. CARRENO MARQUAM GRAND THEATRE 1 THIS EVENING, FEB. 3. 1908 A GREAT ARTIST Mme.

He said he had understood that the de cision of the supreme court in the VVil iamson case would throw his indict ment out of court anyway, and that he did not want immunity and would not accept It.

He said he believed he had dealt with Hall In handing him over the evidence and that he and Greene had asked Hall not allow E. M. Mays to handle the case before the grand jury because F. I'. Mays was Interested with Thayer nnd they thought It would be better for Hull to handle the Investigation. Deady said Hall hod promised not to allow Mays to have charge of the Investigations. Deadv's story regarding the case dif fered from the tale told by Mavs in many particulars. He said that Greene was In Washington when the grand Jury was called, and therefore could not have told Mays not to put Leach before the Jury. Deady denied that he had ever talked with Mays advising him not to call Leach. He said that Leach was not called, however. Spencer also contradicted the testi mony of Mays in many particulars. He said he had demanded the papers in the Thayer case and that Mays had told him he had not seen the documents. It is now believed that tho arguments will be completed and the case put lnio the hands of the Jury bv Thursdav af ternoon unless some new developments should arise which would cause Judge Webster to carry out his promise made this morning to the effect that unless Mr. Heney stopped bringing In new in cnients not directly connected with th charge In the case on trial it would be come necessary for the defense to ask for time in which to bring additional witnesses. that aroused the anger of the people .in-.i vTuiiu l uiiiiwiHiea in uie assassina tion.
