Terms With Both Sides. 7-
- Fresno, Cal., ' June 30. "If you
don't pay us $5,000 for your daugh
ter before tonight, we will come baok
and kill you. : . .-
This is the threat that two masked
desperadoes hurled at- Adolph Do
menglne as they carried away his
beautiful , 18-year-old daughter, at
the point of a revolver early today. :
Domenglne lives in a ranch house
near Coalings and he ; hurried to
town today with a story that has
thrown the whole oil district Into ex
citement. ' . , ,
Two kidnapers, rode up to the
house in the early hours of the
morning and set fire to the barn and
outhouses. The members of the
family frightened by, the crackling
flames rushed from the house In
their night clothes. The men were
Waiting with their revolvers ready.
They forced Domenglne to throw
up his hands and told his wife she
would be killed If she moved.
Then one of the robbers went Into
the house and took all the firearms.
There he -discovered Edna, the, 18-year-old
girl, and. pointing his re-;
volver at her, forced her to walk be
fore him Into the yard.' By the light
of the blazing barn they forced the
girl to get into a ranch wagon. The
mother wept and bitterly Importuned
them to stop, but to no avail. They
spoke gruffly and told her If she did
not stop "sniffling" they would shoot
her. The father was enraged but
could not defend his daughter, for
fear be would be killed it he made a
. 'move. .., '-."'Wf- "v -.i4
The girl was forced, to sit In the
middle of the wagon seat. Then one
man sat on each side of her and held
her,? With curses they hurled the
parting threat at - Domenglne, who
had no weapon and feared to follow.
' The mother swooned as she saw
her daughter in the hands of the ruf
fians and beard her screams as the
wagon rolled off down the road.
The father hastened to the nearest
house, and securing aid and firearms
set out in pursuit, , but all trace of
the bandits had been lost. ; .
All business throughout the big oil
district Is practically at a standstill
today and posses are following every
clue to find the kidnapers.
Domenglne is wealthy and the
kidnapers evidently knew , he could
afford to pay for the release of his
daughter.- ...
One ; theory widely accepted is
that the crime was instigated by
someone who had a' private grudge
against Domenglne.

fiuura un ne siana. as tne attorney
has announced his intention of goinii
Into the matter at length.
Goaded by the persistent refusal of
the witness to tell the same' story on
tne stand as he had told to the gov-
c mucin, m umciais inn prosecuiion pro
duced the statement of Krlbs a short
time before noon today and asked to
have It introduced as evidence. Ma
larkey at once made strenuous objec
tion, contending that the government
coma not impeacn us own witness.
The government held that It desired
to refresh the memory of the wit
ness. Maiarkey replied that the state
ment could not be introduced unless
the government had been surprised at
the testimony of the witness and Mr.
Backer, came back with the statement:
"t win aumu tnat 1 am
surprised." , .
; Maiarkey Asks Questions,
.- The court Tield that the statement
could be used and after it had been
shown to the witness Mr. Maiarkey
took a hand in the questioning. He
asked if Krlbs had not talked over tho
case with Becker and Neuhausen a good
deal lately, of the testimony he was ex-
?ected to give, and if he had not told
hem of the option he desired to have
and the arrangements he had made with
Booth concerning it. The witness said
he had discussed his testimony several
times during tne past montn.
Maiarkey then contended that - the
government could only Introduce the
statement to show surprise and argued
that since the witness -testified to hav
ing told them of the ootlon, and sinee
McCourt had spoken of It in his open-
am very inucU
lna- statement that there was no sur
prise and that - tne paper should be
barred. - The court held, however, that
the government evidently had - been
taken by surprise and that the state
ment should go in as a part of the
record.
Mr. Becker asked the witness if he
had not read the statement recently and
told the government that It was true
and he would have to testify to the
facts set forth in it. The witness said
he had not told Becker that the state
ment was absolutely correct but that
the f 800 given Booth was to pay up all
his obligations both as to the . option
and tne advance Information.. .
' Business, la . Bosebora.
Krlbs, In his story today, said that
he remembered bavins: no business in
Roseburg on October s, 1903, the date
of the payment of the check, other than
the securing of the option on the east
ern Oregon land held by the Both in
terests and sought for sale by the wit
ness. He said that he might have given
the check both for what had been done
for him by Booth In the land office and
and in securing the option. He did not
remember ever having offered to pay
Booth any certain sum for securing the
option tor mm. v
Kribs iiaa told Booth that he was
obliged to him for the favors which he
nad shown, but the witness said -he did
not make any reference to any specific
acts, or for any services in the land
office. He had, however, mentioned the
Option particularly, because he v was
much Interested In getting it Just at
that time. .
Kribs said that Booth had : never, to
nis nest recollection, given him any in
formation about lands personally but
he supposed that his agents had a-otten
their informatlpn from there.
"Oidn t you know that this Informa
tion could be gotten at Salem Just aa
well as at Roseburg?" the witness was
asked by Mr. Maiarkey.

It was brought out during the course
of the examination that Kribs had paid

the claim, to Mrs. James H. Booth for
a timber claim in 1800. The court,
however, ruled the evidence out as not
being material to the case. I

sisted Neuhausen in gathering evidence

During - the Afternoon session of the
court KxiDs nnishea his direct examina
tion and was taken in hand by Dan J.
Malarker for the defense. In oneninff
nis guns on tne witness tne attorney , put
the cross on htm by askina if it was not
a fact that he had followed the business
of getting land from the public domain
for the big timber sharks of the coun
try and if after he had exhausted his
Tieia in tne east he had not come to
Oregon and taken up the same line of

The witness hedaed on th answer.

upon htm by the attorney, but at last
admitted that he had made timber buy
ing his business for the most of his
active business life.
Mr. Malarkev turned at one then to
ward the theorv of the defansa. Ha
questioned the witness about his deals
with H. A. sooth, his efforts to secure
an option on land east of the Cascades
in Klamath and Lake counties In the
yellow pine belt, of his having secured
the option at last through the Interces
sion of James Booth, of his subsequent
deal for an option on land in Lane
county also secured through the inter
cession or james isootn.
In developing- this defense corre
spondence was introduced which had
passed between R. A. Booth and Krlbs.

ness said he had discussed the matter
of advance information from the land
oxnee wun wootn and had told Booth
he would make it right If the Informa
tion was given him or his attorney,
Frank Alley of Roseburg: Kribs then
passed up the question of advance In
formation and said when he gave the
$800 check to Booth on October S, 1908,
he told him he was verv grateful to him
for his favors as the option on the east
ern Oregon land was of great Import
ance. From the context of the story it can
be argued by the defense that the
money was paid as a bonus to Henry
Booth for serving as an agent In secur
ing the option Just as well or better
perhaps than that it was intended as
compensation for having given illegal
information about the land office busi
ness, because Kribs' story hooks closer
to tne option man it does to the infor
