Booth, Janit-s Jlinry Booth and Kd

Charge of having conspired to defraud
the government of timber lands.
Mr. Becker finished his opening re
marks soon after 12 o'clock and this
afternoon Dan Malarkey for the defense
la presenting the case of the defendants
to tha Jury.
Mr. Becker gave a clear definition of
the meaning and the purpose of the
homestead laws and whlrh, he clalmi-1,
,)iOd been violated by the defendant.
Mr. Becker went Into the history or the
case from beginning to end.' recalling
the time in 1 sl wh-n 'Wild Bill"
'.Bradley of Koseburg, and Thomas Agee
and several others, took up land near
Caps Illihee, which Is about 60 miles
from Rosebnrg. Agee, It seemed, lived
on this land several months. Later
-the cabins were burne:! and Agee was
'roamon, ana me government claims
deserted his land which he had orlgln-
,s-uy intended to homestead.
Some years later. Mr. Becker con
tends, Ed Singleton, one of the Indicted
ones, went to the land where Agee had
ried them under a bank where over
hanging trees swept both men Into the
river. ideschbourg was a good swim
mer and succeeded In catching the raft
again, but was powerless to assist his
partner, who was vainly trying to
reach shore. A few minutes later
GroneWeg was seen to throw up his
hands and Blnk. Dlesrhbourg then
lumped Into the river and landed on an

lived off and on for a few months and
agreed with him te exchange it for lieu
land in which case the Booth-Kelly
Lumber company would willingly buj
the timber from him. This, it seems
took place after the land around Caps

James II. Booth, then receiver of the
Iioseburg land office, the government will
endeavor to show, sent several home
made papers to Washington with refer
ence to the transaction of lieu lands for
tne other timber grounds. These Informal
papers d!d not c'omplv with the govern
ment regulations and were returned.
Mr. Becker said that Henry Booth in
the land office, and Robert Booth,
president of the company, must havo
been aware of the irregular transac
tions being made and on this account
the government would make Its case.

"Dolly told me that she was afraid
of Corneilli." said Miss Wilson this
morning. "She told me that when she
was sick last spring, and added that
she was afraid Corneilli would kill
her."
It was undoubtedly Mrs. Sharp's ef
forts to keep away from Corneilli that
resulted in her death last night. Cor

The last visit was about 6 o'clock when

his cowardly footsteps would permit.
Running down stairs, Corneilli burst
into the twilight of the evening, and
pursued by a mob made his wav to his
room on salmon street between Sixth

two notes In which he made a sort of

an address was given by C. W. Do

with outstretched hand, saving:
"I believe 1 have had tha pleasure of

Buckley today declared he meant
what he said to 8enator Perkins. He
alleged that 20 years ago he was a
shareholder In the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company, in whlcB Perkins was
one of the ruling spirits. A hanker,
Hucklev said, told him that Perkins and
his associates were paying themselves
dividends, but that the shareholders
were not getting any of the money. He
had a lawyer investigating ana saiu
he discovered the charges to be true,
He did not proseout the case, because
he secured his share of the dividends
and did not want 'to drag his banker

When Buckley demanded nis money,
he said. Perkins was, so incensed he

Perkins' version of the affair is that

Buckley replied that he knew of the
senator and turned away.
Perkins said he supposed the doctor
had mistaken him for some one eise
and did not know who Buckley was un

During the year ending December SI, 1907, over 0, 000,100 people.
Including transfer passengers, rode on the cars of this system. This
gives a good Idea of the responsibility that devolves upon motormen
and conductors of the various linen and Indicates the care that must
be exercised in the selection of men for these positions.
The closest attention Is paid to this branch of the business of the
Transportation Department, because it is realized that it Is necessary
to have men who can be relied upon to meet any and all emergen
cies, as well as to go through the day's work with a pleasant and
accommodating spirit. Rules hav been adopted regulating the em
ployment of men for these places, which reduce to a minimum the
:hance for an incompetent person to secure a position on the cars.
