Then, when police officers (jund the two men and ordered Walters to stop, he whirled and fired on Painier, also ; firing at Officer Thorpe, but the tAillet was deflected. Walters then disappeared in the rail road yards. 1 defense Attorney Mulkey stated he would show that Walters and Tillman stopin-d at Ceutralia on their way to j Portland! and thtre secured a quantity j of mootmhine whiskey, w hich they had vern cirinaing on ineir- way nere, ana that-while the holdups were "highly, re gretable," the shooting of Palmer was not intended and- that "it is an act for which Walters is as .profoundly sorry as a man of his capacity may be." JlltV KHOWT CROt'SIl ' After the hearing of witnesses estab lishing the death of Palmer and the lo cation in "which the shooting occurred, tbe Jury was taken to the place so It mftrht better visualize the testimony as it proceeds. -..

Thorpe was on the stand at noontime, telling in detail the incidents leading up to the shooting and the mariner in which it occurred. Former Rough Eider Gets Six Months for; False Advertising James E. Haggerty. inventor of the "LJttle Wonder" oil burner, and a for mer member of Roosevelt's Rough Riders during the Spanish-American war, was sentenced to six months in the county jaii this morning by Federal Judge Bean, when he pleaded guilty to sending false advertising matter through the mails. Haggerty lost two sons dur ing the "lata war, his -counsel told the court. 0 . ' In printed advertisements Haggerty claimed his little oil burner, would give as much heat with 42 gallons of oil at t cents a gallon as one ion ox com. x ne burner waa styled fool proof, so simple a child could operate it, and smokeless. The grand Jury foun;d the opposite in its report. Haggerty is said to have or ganized the United States Crude Oil & Water Burner company, at . 322 East Clay street. He was indicted October 21, but was not returned to Portland un til recently by the marshal, as he was serving a 60 day Jail sentence at Spring field. Mo., for impersonating a federal geologist.

Poor, Declares Nunn Projects for a federal appropriation for forest and state roads next year are not very bright This report was brought from the national Capital Tuesday by State Highway Engineer Nunn, who has been at .Washington attending a confer ence of tbe state highway associations. While there Is almost a unanimity of opinion among congressmen in favor of continued federal aid for roads, It is a question of finding the money, says Nunn. Owing to the fact that a great amount of money must be raised for other government activities, it may be decided to cut the road appropriation altogether, Freemans Freed in Federal Liquor Case Charges of violating the prohibition law were dismissed this morning, against Morris and William Freeman.
