This morning Mr. and Mrs. M. Randall
received a telegram announcing the
death of their grandson, Herman Sears,
in Portland last night.- The young man
was about 17 years old, and had been
taken to Portland from , his home in
Wasco to undergo an operation, under

Mormonism was given great impetus

for pushing an active campaign in Ore
gon dnring the present year,

The ladies of the Lutheran church of
this city will give a concert at the Bald
win opera house on March 1, 1899. They

While Eldridge Bledsoe was out in tqe
Rinehart pasture, east ' of La Grand
Saturday afternoon, he saw a band
fourteen antelope, about three hundred
yards from him. He was quite excited
en seeing such a pretty sight, while they,
n seeing him, took fright and went back
pon the hills. They have undoubtedly
een driven down from tbe mountains
y the cold weather. East Oregonian,
Tom Buckingham, who carries the
ail between Fossil and Antelope, re-
iorts that, owing to an ice gorge in tbe
obn Day river, just below Clarno'a ferry,
he guy ropes broke, and when the gorge
was broken the ferry boat was left high
and dry above the high water mark.
The flood also carried away the little
steam launch, which has no doubt been
dashed to pieces on the rocks in the ran
ids a few miles below the mouth of Pine
creek. Globe.
Today has been set apart by the
national convention of tbe W. C. T. U.
as a day of memorial for Frances E
Williard, being the anniversary of her
death. As a number of the leading
members of that organization in this
city are absent, it was not thonght ad
visabie to hold any. special exercises.
However, no doubt the thoughts of every
lover of reform who holds sacred the
memory of this noble woman, have to
day dwelt on the beauty of her life and
the wonderful results of its work.
Last night Charles Frank received a
letter from a frien 1 in Kalamath Falls,

When court convened yesterday after
noon the room was packed with people
interested in the Forrester case. Many
compelled to stand as every seat
Several ladies were present
and seemingly took as much interest in
tbe case as the sterner sex. When For
rester was brought ' in, all eyes, were
turned toward him, as the majority of
tbe public had never seen him. He ia a
tall raw-boned man, of light complexion
and walks with a swinging gait.
During the afternoon bis wife sat by
his side and seemed very devoted. - She
is a small woman, dark complexioned
rather good looking and of pleasing
countenance. Forrester - sat quite etill
during the day, but did not seem to
know what to do with hia hands. He
rolled and re-rolled a silk handkerchief
and then would rub his hands together,
appearing to be deeply interested in all
that was going on. He hardly seemed
to note the immense crowd that had
gathered to hear what the witnesses had
to say in regard to the killing.
Tbe state opened . its case by calling
Fred Wallace, who testified that he waa
authorized by Brogan to make a settle
ment with Forrester, but could not as
there was a difference of seyeral dollars
a month, in. tbe wages between tbe par
ties. He was a good witness and was
perfectly at ease while on the stand.
He was followed . by Antone Nelson,
who testified that on going to supper he
stopped at Dial's saloon, and, looking in
at the window, be saw Forrester sitting
at a table talking with a man called
Slim. They called him in and all took
a drink together. Forrester and Slim
then left the place, crossing the street
and going into Silvertooth'a saloon. A
few minutes later Nelson's attention was
called to a racket in Silver tooth's, and
he ran over there and found that
Brogan had been wounded. . Brogan
was placed on a bed and Nelson tore his
vest and shirts off to see where the
wound was. He then went for a doctor
Just here court adjourned uulil 7:30
p. m.v When Nelson was cross examined
Frank Gnmm was ' then called and
every word of his testimony was eagerly
listened to. - le was rather nervous
while on tbe stand, but told bis story in
a straight forward manner., He testified
that while coming up the street on the
afternoon of the killing he waa beckoned
to by Brogan,' who at the time waa
standing on the street talking to For
rester. "When Gnmm came up Brogan
asked him if he bad seen any ' of hie
sheep in tbe mountains when he came
from Bear creek. He replied he had not
seen any live sheep, but had noticed
several dead ones and they appeared to
have been killed by varmints. Forrester
and Brogan then engaged in conversa-
tion regarding a settlement. Brogan
said he would settle as he agreed to at
$45 a month, when Forrester replied he
did not understand it that way and
would have all that- he demanded or
nothing at all. Brogan then started to
leave and Forrester acted as though be
was going to strike him, when Gnmm
spoke np and said, "Yon dan't want to
have any trouble oyer the matter." Bro
gan then went into oilvertootn s saloon
and Forrester called Gumm to one side
and shook him aiew times, aeking him
wbat he meant by. talking about him
and circulating reports in the Mitchell
country derogatory to him. Gumm re
plied he had said nothing but what be
would say to his face. They had a few
more words and Gumm took off his coat
when the marshal came along and
quieted the matter.
Later,' Slim, the Spaniard, Forrester
Brogan and Gumm met in Silvertooth'a
saloon. Slim invited all hands to have
a drink and Gumm thanked him and
said he did not care for any more.. Bro
gan also declined and said, "You don
know what our trouble is." Slim then
spoke up and said, "Shed your coats
and go at it." Gnmm looked around
and thought tbe Spaniard was going to
get -in the mix up and as Forrester made
a step forward he, Gumm, took off his
coat and made for Forrester. He was
interrupted by two different men 'but
succeeded in getting away from them,
and reaching ForreBter hit him a blow
with hia fist, knocking him to the floor.
At this time tbe Spaniard grabbed
Gumm. by the throat and began chok
inj him. When he got away from the
Spaniard and regained his breath he
saw Forrester with a knife in hia band
and Brogan staggering, backwards. As
near as he could state he thought he saw
Forrester go out of the back door, but
being rather excited he was not sure.
The defense cross-examined Gumm very
minutely and brought out , all the facts
in detail.
It was nearly 10 o'clock . when court
adjourned.

After court met in the morning, Chas.
Clarno.of Antelope, waa the first witness
called. Mr. Clarno was asked by the
prosecution If when he first saw For
rester, be (Forrester) bad anything in
bis hand. The witness replied that For
rester bad a knife in his hand, but tbat
be did not see him until after Forrester
bad been knocked down. The prosecu
tion objected to the latter ' part . of the
question and moved that it be struck out
and the defense resisting the motion, a
lively legal argument resulted which
consumed a great portion of the morn
ing. . The motion was finally allowed
and the answer was stricken out.
In tbe croea examination of Clarno ths
attorneys for the defense wished to go
into the circumstances at the time For
rester was seen with, the knife in his
hand, and to this the prosecution ob
jected, claiming that it was extending
the latitude of cross examination too far.
The court permitted them to croBS ex
amine to some extent, and tbe matter o.f
Gumm striking Forrester and other cir
cumstances were gone into. Objections
to the line of cross examination were
continuously made, and shortly after tbe
noon honr the court concluded the rules
of cross examination bad been stretched
far enough, and refused to permit the
cross examination to go further in tbe
lines indicated. The legal arguments
which took place this morning were
made very forcibly and were watched I
with close attention by the entire cpnrt i
room. All the attorneys took a hand at
different times, and from the vehemence
with which the arguments were made, it
could be seen that the discussion of the
point involved had an important bear
ing on the case. ',
At 12:25 the court adjourned until
1 :45 when the same large crowd was
present. Mr. Clarno waa re-called and
stayed on the stand until 3 o'clock.
He testified regarding the kind of a
knife that Forrester had, and was asked
by tbe prosecution if he had not made
different statements at the coroner's
inquest. Up to tbe time of going to press tbe
entire day bad been taken up almost
entirely with legal arguments. -
Following Clarno, Dr. Wiley, of Ante
lope, was called to the stand and ia tes
tifying regarding tbe -nature of the
wound. ' - ,
