Some picayunish individuals abstract newspapers and magazines from the free public library, instituted and maintained for philanthropic purposes by citizens, These con trihuie the reading matter in question for the good of society - and it is quite exasperating to have them taken away by sneak thieves. The steamer Regulator returned to her wharf last night, having failed to get through to the Cascades. Captain Sherman reports the river frozen over at Chenoweth landing and as the boat was not sheathed did not make determined efforts to get to her destination. She left her dock this morning for another trial to get through. A Eugene paper mentions what pur ports to be a fact that that city has a book whose antiquity is greater than any within the state. Mr. John Bonn of this city has a Bible, which we have seen, ttiat was printed in 1577. The .print is very plain and the book is in a perfect condition. We believe the Eugene vol ume cannot beas old as the 1577 Bible, when the art of printing with movable types was in its infancy. The very first English book was printed by Caxton in 1474. The freight train which was wrecked Thursday night near Troutdale ran into a tree which had slid 300 feet down the side of the mountain. The tree was pushed aside and the engine passed it, but was considerably damaged on one side and thrown off the rails upon the ties. Nine cars of wheat, flour and coal. which were next the engine,; were thrown from the track by the tree and rolled down the embankment. No one was hurt. Hood River News.

His Attorney Gives Him the Benefit of ' a Kindly, Hopeful Talk Judge jfradshaw'B Words The Wettle Case. Jack Hull, murderer of Ben Cum mings, was brought into court at 9 o'clock this morning to receive' sentence. He was accompanied by both the sheriff and deputy. He took his seat among the chairs reserved for the grand jury, in one of which sat his counsel, Mr. E. B. Dufur. He shook hands heartily with the attorney ana cast a nervous glance around the court room. After entertaining one or two motions on behalf of attorneys in other caees, Judge Bradshaw ordered the prisoner to stand, and asked if he had anything to say. before sentence was passed upon him. The prisoner in a firm voice said : "I am not guilty of the charge of murder. I am aware that Stewart is an enemy of mine and blame him as much as any other man for my conviction. I am aware that Cummings was an enemy of mine, and if he had any principles of a man I would not have been here and Cummings would not be wherehe is." Attornev Dufur then arose and made a few remarks on behalf of the prisoner. It was evident that he strongly syni' pathizes . with his client, and as bis words, spoken in a meek and sym pathetic manner; reached the ear of the prisoner, the tears coursed down Hull's cheeks, though no sound came from his lips. "I am aware," said Mr. Dufur, "that nothing I can say could change or affect the judgment now about to be pronounced upon the prisoner, and it would seem like a waste of time to even refer to the circumstances. I feel that Mr. Hull has been tried by a jury of twelve men, every one of whom executed his duty conscientously, and that no matter what I may think they have acted upon their best judgment. The only object I have in speaking is that if there is anything I can say that will give one ray of hope to the man about to be sentenced, I shall be more than re paid. It has very seldom happened in this state where a man sentenced for life has been kept for life. Much depends upon the future conduct of Hull himself. and if he is tractable and behaves like a man, and it is afterwards proven that he has been the victim of circumstances, if extenuating circumstances are shown, there is strong grounds for the hope of executive clemency." The- pardoning power may come and he may be restored to citizenship. Meanwhile his comforts will be looked after, he will be treated humanely, and his bodily ailments will be looked after just as conscientously within as without the prison walls, and when he is restored he mav have the opportunity to satisfy all persona and this court that there were mitigating circumstances." Judge Bradshaw said : "The statutes fix but one penalty for the crime of murder in the second degree, and the court has no option but to pass that sentence, which is that yon be confined in the penitentiary for the remainder of your, natural life. The verdict has been given by a jury of twelve men, who have patiently listened to the evidence, and have formed their judgment after great deliberation. I have also listened care fully to all of the evidence and am of the same opinion as the jury, and believe that it is a righteous verdict. . I do not desire to harrow up your feelings, yet I feel called upon to say that this calamity has been brought upon yourself by' yourself. It is due to your habit of carrying a murderous gun, for which there was no occasion in this country The testimony showed no unpleasant ness, and that the murder was unpro voked. I fcave listened to a great many trials of this kind, but none where there was eo little provocation as this. . Before one is justified in taking the life of his fellow man, he must be hard-pressed, and it would seem that there is no other alternative. It is no light thing to take the life of a fellow- man. Everyone is entitled to his own life, and it should not be takyi by another, unless under the circumstances named. The judg ment of the court is that you be confined in the penitentiary at Salem during the, remainder of your natural life." The Wetle case was again resumed. At the session last evening the defend ant was placed upon the stand. His memory ' teemed quite defective . at times, and he did not aid his case any, unless the fact that he is easily led into difficulty will have its weight with the jury for acquittal. Defendant's coun sel summoned John Krier at 10:45. o'clock at night to appear as a witness. He was submitted to the jury . in evi dence aa he sat in the chair. No ques tion was asked him, and, somewhat dis gusted, he returned to his cell- It should be remembered Wettle is in dicted as accessory for the same offense that the. jury found Krier guilty. This morning' the attorneys consumed the time in reading law to the judge, includ ing a speech an hour in length by the attorney for defendant. W. H. Wilson, attorney fpr state, concluded his argu ment this afternoon and the case was given to the jury. . ' " '... At 4 o'clock the jury returned a ver dict of guilty as charged and recom mended the mercy of the court.. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr.O.M. Boland of Boyd is in the city today and called at The Chronicle office. Mr. J. S. Schenk and wife returned today from a trip to the Midwinter fair and Los Angeles.. . Mr. C. E. Lindsav has returned from Kansas City, where he has been looking up apple interests. We are pleased to announce that news has been received that Mr. Alex McLeod, who is lying sick at Oakdale, is better and is improving every day. ; Mr. Leslie Butler writes to a friend that he will return next week, and will remain. He eaid he will be glad t;o get back to Oregon, and don't' want any more Kansas in his. THE CHURCHES. Announcements of services at the Christian Church Preaching at 11 a. m.
