Hawthorne on Trial For His Life.
The trial of John Hawthorne of this
city for the murder of the Indian Kar
polis, is progressing rapidly' in the
United States court at Portland. The
prosecution brought in evidence to show
the robbery of Mays & Crowe's store ;
the shooting by the night watchman;
the escape and killing at the Warm
cn.;nna cn...ni f a
tow thev attemnted to surronnd Haw-
A.horne and cantnre him withont nv
Evidence shows the above state of facts.
he defense will attempt to prove that
Hawthorne shot thinking that the In
diana were going to kill him and not
knowing that they were Indian police.
Judge Ca pies, the attorney for the de
fense, performed the masterly feat of get
ting a poor ignorant Indian witness to
say once that he waa behind a tree and
then to contradict bimeelf to say that it
was behind a clump of bushes. As the
testimony had to be sifted through an in
terpreter the variance is too slight to be
called a contradiction. Walter Rowe,
who has already testified for the prosecu
tion will also be a witness for the defense
and Hawthorn's attorneys expect to
prove by him that Karpolis shot first.
MrB. Emily Hawthorne, mother of the
prisoner, and his sister, Anna, are by his
side in the court room. Hawthorne
shows no nervousness or worriment in
the least, except in talking, when there
is an apparent effort of self control.
An Exciting- Time at the Court Hons.
Thia morning the officials at the court
houae bad their equanimity coneidera
bly disturbed. An insane man, Dave
Williams by name, had been arrested
last night by. Policeman Frank Con
nelly, and placed in the county jail for
examination. This morning, as he waa
being questioned by Dr. Hollieter, the
idea of jumping through the window
suddenly occurred to him, and out he
went. . Frank Hill and Judge Blakeley
were standing by the railing in the
sheriff's office, and as thev eaw Wil
1 lams' coat tails disappear out the win
dow, started for him. Mr. Hill caught
up with him just outside the fence, and
immediately there was a tussle. Jailer
John Fitzgerald next appeared npon
the scene, and Mr. HrU returned to get
a pair of handcuffs. Seeing that Wil
liams and Mr. Fitzgerald were Having a
merry time of it, Judge Blakeley rushed
in to help the officer, and in re
turn for bis kindness received a kick,
which took off considerably akin from
below the knee. . , Williama was finally
subdued and taken back to the sheriff's
office and the examination speedily con
eluded. ' The Insane man was taken to
Salem thia afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Hill and Frank Powers. He was se
curely handcuffed and the officers will
watch him closely. The trouble with
Powers ia .probably .' hereditary. He

An Afternoon Isrty.
A very pleasant gathering was held
yesterday at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Houghton, on Court street. The
party waa given in honor of Mr. Hough
ton 'b mother, who baa been visiting in
the city for some time. The afternoon
was spent in social conversation and in a
display of the artistic abilities of those
preeent. A card was given each one
with the title of some well known book
upon and the recipient was required to
illustrate the title. The result waa art
in all ita different phasea grave, gay and
ludicrous. It all tended to merriment,
however, and made an exceedingly
pleasant diversion for the afternoon.
About a dozen ladies had been invited.
Mrs. Houghton returned to Portland
by the steamer' thia morning.
About that . Disappearance.
Frank Spicer,of Antelope, returned last
night from Portland where he bas been
looking for Harry Stark, whose disap
pearance was noted in thia paper several
days ago. It waa stated that Stark had
been found in Portland but tbia is now
said to be nntrue and the chief of police
with whom Mr. Spicer talked is watch
ing for the missing man. Stark had a
wagon and six horses when he came into
town and tbeoutht has been nere ever
aince till yesterday, when it was taken to
Antelope. There is something mys
terious about the affair as Stark ia said
to have owed very little and what prop
erty he had waa more than, enough to
pay hia debts. Our county officers are
not through with the matter and lis
possible some interesting developements
may be noted. -:
