Rumors of Clash Between
Jurors State's Lawyers
Are Suspicious.
(United Press Leaaed Wire.l ,
San Francisco, Dec. 10. Before day
light today a great crowd had feathered
at Judge Lawlor's courtroom In hope
of hearing from the Ruef Jury which
was retired an hour after midnight
following the repeating of the, mass of
testimony offered du"ring.4ie long trial
bv witnesses for the prosecution. The
pad ice department detailed 10 mounted
police. 10 patrolmen and a score of
plain clothes men to guard the court
when Lawlor called the forenoon ses

Shortly after 3:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon the case went to the Jury,
which then deliberated until nearly
ft o'clock and sent word that certain
testimony wan desired. This was read
to them in open court and it was long
past midnight when the jury went into
a short conference snu uiw
During the afternoon Hiram Jonn

Deliberations STot Placid.
Reports from the Jury room Indicate
that the deliberations have been far
from plapld. The rumor" of a severe
clash, bordering on fisticuffs between
two jurons was spread about ths bulld
lnis. It is understood that several mem
bers of the Jury are vigorously demand
ing that some decision ds reacnea in
view of the enormous cost of the trial
to the state.
Talk or' bribery Is rife. It is even
fannrteri that ' the orosecutlon exnects

"began preparations for an investiga

It Is understood that the failure of
the Jury to report Dy noon iea tne pros
ecution almost to abandon hope of a
conviction. Dissatisfaction exists be
tween the counsel for the prosecution.
Abe Ruef was all smiles this after
noon. While he refused to comment on
the- probable outcome of the case, he
said:
"The speech made by Attorney -Johnson
yesterday was the kind of a speech
that would make a weak man vote for
a conviction when, his honest opinion
favored an acquittal. I have a pretty
strong will myself, but I think I would
have been Influenced against my own
judgment by .such a speech. At the same
time, on some men, It might have the
reverse effect.
"There are now more than 20 agents
of the prosecution stationed about the

ALLEGED VICTIMS
Idaho Stockmen Reported to
Have Acquired $50,0(50
Worth of Lands.
.(Special Olspatch to The Jonranl.)
Pendleton, Or., Dec. .10. Not only
$100,0.00 worth 'Of horses, but at least
$50,000 In land as well, was Included
In the operations of Major Ferris,
George Sheldon, the Lamb brothers aud
W. R. Clemens, the five Idaho stock
men -who are alleged to have victimized
the leading horsemen .of the northwest
out of $100,000 worth of fine animals
and some $15,000 in commissions, by a
series of sales on worthless notes.
According to E. L Lonirmeler of this
city, who was approached by the men
to seu nis wneat rncji at uunningnam.
Wash., four leading farmers In ..that
district have parted with their property
to the alleged swindlers, receiving there
for a portion of the notes for commis
sion given by. the various horsemen an!
taking the -notes' of Ferris and his col
leagues for . the balance. In each case
small cash payment was made and
In some Instances the' land men were to
be given valuable horses In the - trade.
According to Air. iongmeier, ne was
approached by one of the men who
wanted to' buy the ranch. They fin
ally agreed on a compromise price of
$40,500, a small portion of' which was
to be paid in cash ana the balance by
notes, but when ur, Longmelcr demand
ed that the notes be secured "by a mort
gage on the place he was refused, and
the deal fell through. Mr. Longmeler
was also to receive the value of $6000
In blooded stock, at that time In Har
rington, one stallion and a jack.
The Pendleton's man's neighbors were
not so conservative. Four of them ac
cepted notes for something- like $50,000
worth of land.
The losers, according to Mr. ijOng-
meler. were. Wad Hedrick, who sold .his
800 acres for S24.000. acceDtlna- a pay
ment of $1000, with the assumption of
a $3000 blanket mortgage, with the bal
ance of $20,000 In notes; Bert Carter and
his father, who each sold 320 acres at
$31.60 per acre, and Land Commissioner
Batton, whose loss through the notes
Is said to be something like $6000.
In each case the land has been plas
tered by the alleged conspirators with
morta-aces for all that It could stand
and the unfortunate former owners are
in a fair way to lose tneir an.

CAUCUS
SIGNED BY
Kepublicans Will Hold Con
ference on Selection of
President for State Senate
Fiffht in Meeting Will
Be Triangular. .
There will be a Republican caucus for
the selection of ' a president for the
state senate. Already 16 members of
the senate have signed the call for
such. a caucus, and It Is expected that
practically all or the Remih can mem
bers of that body will Join in the-call
before many days have elapsed. In th
caucus the fight for the presidency will
be three cornered, and will He between
Jay wowerman of Gilliam. Sherman and
wneeier counties, T. B. Kav of Marlon

Ing of Multnomah. ThJs is supposing
iiiai. ceiling goes into tne caucus, which
Is yet a matter of doubt, though, the
fact that a majority of the senate has
already signed the call for the caucus
maaes inis a great pronablltty.
At the present time, however, judging
rrom current rumors tne battle Is be
tween Bowerman. who represents 'the
faction that la trying to throw the
statement No. 1 men Into disrepute,
and Kay, who has taken a stand with
tne statement No. 1 forces.
For a long time the Bowerman In
fluences have been at work trvina- to
pledge the Republican members of the
senate to a caucus oar the organlEatlon.
Some 11 men signed: the call. bu,t there

been . within the past two or three days
mat tne necessary i were signed up.
According to the present report Sen
ator Bingham of Lane, Slnnott of
Wasco, Johnson of Benton, Chase of
Coos and Curry, and Nottingham of
Multnomah have signed the call for a
caucus. senator seholneld of Clatsop
had already signified his intention of
folng Into caucus. In addition to these
here are the following anti-Statement
No. 1 men who have agreed to caucus
on the organization: Hart of Bilker.
Parrlsh of Grant, Harney and Mal
heur. Cole of. Umatilla and Morrow,
Bowerman of Grant. Sherman and
Wheeler. Merrlman of Crook, Klamath
and Lake. Coffey and Beach of Mult
nomah. Miller or Linn and Lane, and
J. N. Smith of Marion. This makes a
total of 16 senators, or a majority of
the senate.
Statement No. 1 men have been try
ing to bring Selling of Multnomah and
Kay of Marlon together on a single
line of battle as agilnst Bowerman and
Beach but have failed todo so. Selling
maintaining that he was In the race
to stay and that he did not Intend to
quit at this time. Senator Kay was In
Portland during the early Dart of the
week and had a conference with mem
bers of the Multnomah delegation but
without result. i,
Following this conference several
members of the senate who had been
holding out from the caucus call signed
up. thus declaring their Intention of
going Into the caucus to fi-ht it nut ,
This action will have the effect of
forcing all of the Statement No. 1 mer.
Into the caucus.
It is understood, therefore, that Kay
of Marlon, Bailey of Multnomah, and
Abraham of Douglas have decided to
go Into the caucus. W. N. Barrett of
Washington will also go In. This leaves
Kellaher. ' Albee and Selling of Multno
mah and Norton of Josephine yet to !
hear from. It Is the general belief
that these senators will also go with
the others and fight out the organiza
tion battle before the senate Is called
to order.
On sirlctlv Statement No. 1 and anti-
Statement No. 1 lines there would be
a tie In a senate caucus, there being
11 Statement No. 1 and 11 anti-Statement
No. 1 Republican members. It Is
understood, however, that there are some
three or four anti-Statement No. 1 mem
bers who , are supporting Kay for - the
presiaency.
Bowerman Is the leading anti-statement
candidate and Beach presumably
has some support. Kay therefore is ex-
fiected to go Into the caucus with the
argest following. Beach Is expected
to turn to Bowerman. or Bowerman to
Beach in the final lineup.
The fight will be between the united
forces of Beach and Bowerman on the
one side and the Statement No. 1 line
up, with Kay probably leading, on the
other.
Kay's friends say they are confident
that they can beat the Bowerman forces
at their own game and" "win the organi
sation even In the caucus, basing their
hopes on being able to have the sup
port of a number of anti-statement sen
ators who at the same time do not
favor the - candidacy of either Bower
man or Beach.

Two . hundred and twenty volts of

Miss' Henrietta Raugh,' office assistant
at the Portland - Stockyards,- yesterday
morning. That , she is alive from . the
effects of her terrible experience is :eotW
sidered remarkable by her' physician
and those who knew of the circum
stances of the strange accident. Miss'
Raugh Is still very weak at the home
of her sister, Mrs. W. H. Daughtrey, 113
Vancouver avenue, bat it is expected
that she will be able to resume her
duties at the . office Monday , morning.
A few minutes before 13 o'clock when
everyone in' the office with the ex
ception , of . Mlsa Raugh, had gone out
for lunch the young lady had occaslo-i
to use the telephone. - Being a rather
dark and gloomy day. the electric light
above the desk was ' still turned on.
Finishing her conversation at the tele
phone. Miss Raugh, still retaining the
instrument in one hand, with the other
reached up to-the light bulb ts turn'
off the current. Immediately $20 volta
was transmitted to ber body and she
fell to the floor unconscious, tearing
the globe from its fixtures.
One of the office employes,-returning
for some article that he had forgotten,
found her prostrate on the floor. Think
ing that she had Inadvertently tripped
and fallen, and never dreaming the true
cause of the accident, he attempted to
raise Miss Raugh. Then he tried to
remove the telephone and the light -bulb
from her grasp. Sh retained. them
with a vice like clasp, and It was with
the greatest difficulty that the bulb
was extricated. The telephone wir
was cut and assistance was at once ,
summoned. In an automobile the young .
woman wag hurried to the bom of her .
sister and medical attendance was se
cured. -
Miss Raugh was at first found to be .
in. a precarious condition and fainted
whenever she sttempted to move. Grad
ually during the afternoon she got bet.
