George Stockton known as "L,Ur Bays, is In iall following his arrest by federal officers who caught him casting coun terfeit gold pieces In a refugee shack yesterday. ine prisoner wan ceieDnn ing his 76th birthday when taken Into custodv by the officials. A complete counterfeiting outfit was found by the authorities. AVhen caught he was melt ing the metal for his spurious coins. Btockton has served rour terms in rlson for counterfeiting, two at San- entln and two at -Folsom peniten tiary. Since his release from ' prison, officials have kept track of him be lieving he might return to his old pursuits. "We' have seen enough dairies how bad they, are, , h6w good they are; now we must act without los ing; more time!" The . excamatioa came from a member of the party which Inspected the Hillsdale dairies this morning. Hillsdale dairies are. accounted the best in the vicinity of Portland; it was thought, only right that on a formal tour t the ' dairies should be given the best possible, chance to re deem themselves"!-- the eyes "of Port land' milk consumers. , , Fifty per, cent of the dairies were found fairly clean; 60 per cent were un speakably bad. The exclamation fol lowed the Inspection of the Yungen & kehrU; dairy in the vicinity of Hills dala. Here 60' cows are huddled to gether at milking trme.

All the members - of the party had eves and tbey used them: all had noses. but these they closed against the noi some odors or tnis one place. Ana oe fore they went away members of the party found that at tne nig dairy, nua dllng cows together in slimy filth was not the least or the indignities to wnicn they were subjected. Fermented malt was the food given them, to cause them to produce milk with which to feed Portland babies, and incidentally to burn out their digestive organs, rendering them in time valueless. When the milk had been taken out of the storage can by filling a number of smaller cans. It was the evident practice then to set the cooling milk in tanks of water set conveniently near. This water was not circulating, as is reaulred in sanitary dairies, but was stagnant and bore the appearance of having been changed at least a week previous.

Immediately upon his arrival in New York he went to the hospital and submitted to the" operation. General Corbin was born in Clermont county, Ohio, September 15, 1842. He was educted ,ln. public schools and spent two years at a private academy. He studied law in 1860. ' At the outbreak 'of the civil war Cor bin enlisted in the Ohio volunteer In fantry and was appointed a second lieu tenant On May 11,-1863, he was pro moted to a first lieutenancy. He re igned this commission in 1863 to be come a major in the United States cav alry. From this time his rise was rapid. On November 14, 1863, he was made lieutenant-colonel, and srbout a year lat er was made colonel. On March 26. 18fi6. he was brevetted major-general for meritorious service on tne baitlerield and was honorably dis charged when his command was mus tered out. . On May 11. 1866.

T. Dlckerson for the murder of H. A. Garrett If the vlallance or tne state in tne selection or ttie jury pan prevent it. Tnis was apparent in Judge Uantenbein's department of the circuit court tins morning, when Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald began the Marninauon or tna talesmen. "Would you give any weight to what is cauea -tne unwritten law as a de fense in this case, or rest your judgment on any otner law man tne judge win give you in this trial? was the sub stance of 'questions addressed to every prospective juror, ay seiarcnlng. ques tions, at.many anales and repeated with great emphasis, the prosecuting officer thus sought to detect any sympathy for tne unwritten law that may exist in tne minas or tnose selected to try jsick erson for bis life. Moral Insanity Defease. On the other hand. John A. Jeffre who questioned the talesmen for the de fense, asked each man If be entertained any prejudice against a - defense of "moral insanity, or an irresistible Im pulse to kill,'' forecasting an effort on tne part of the defendant to prove that his mind had been overwrought by re ports of -his wife's Infidelity, and that when Garrett sneered at him on the morning of June 2 he could no longer restrain nimseu. .Although the defendant's attorneys have given out that self-defense mill be combined with the unwritten law a a leading element of the defense, notli Ing was said about self-defense In thi examination or Jurors this morning. Km phasls man laid upon the theory of "ir resistible impulse arising from om form of provocation, though an attack by Garrett threatening his life was not suggested, and this Is the only form of provocation recognised by the laws of Oregon. An impulsa arising from conduct of the defendant's wife and her relations with Gnrrett. while It may be gotten be fore the Jury in the course of the testi mony, seems certain to be excluded from the Judge's charge to the Jury as a ground of Justlflcstlon.
