raUnONABY EXAMINATION.
The annonncerocnt in the daily jvapcni of this
city that John Whitney, tho alleged murderer
of Oliver Hibcrt, would havo a preliminary ex
amination before Squire Johnson this morning
at 8 o'clock caused great numbers of citizens to
gather around to Court House, and by the time
pet the court room was well filled with anxions
spectator who desired to sco tho alleged mur.
dorcr, as woll as to hear all nbout the foul act,
ami, if possible, to ascertain whether or not
thu man nndcr arrest did tho deed.
The prisoner was brought out into tho court
room and took hii scat at tho table by his ootin-
eel, Harding and Strattou. Thu defendant is a
man of medium size, dark though not black
hair; it is evident from tho man's appearance
that he has oeen something of dissipation, his
face is rod, sandy chin whiskers, will weigh
about 150 pounds, and is in tho neighborhood of
32 or 33 years old. He sat by and watched tho
witnesses pretty closely, though Bccrringly as
unconcerned m if ho hod nothing at strike.
On the opposite dido of the table, surrounded
by six attorneys, .7. J. Whitney, prosecutor,
and his deputy, E. J. Dawne, llonhorn A Ilam
scy, Ifcn Hayden and W. H. Jtolmcs, sat tho
wifo of deceased, who was droscd in deep
mourning, with a veil over her face, and teemed
conrideiably interested in what was going on.
She kept a closo watch on the wit noises,
and paid particular nttcntion to what was said
by tho witnesses.
Tho examination was conducted on the part
of tho Stato by Hon. W W. Hamsey, and for
tho defense by .1. A. Strattou. Nurncr
ous witnesses were introduced tending to show
suspicious circumstances on part of defendant,
that the tracks in tho rood cornered with the
boot worn by Whitney, that on taking the shoo
from his horso it was found that they fit the
track of the horse that had mule n hurried trip
over tho road, leading from the place where the
dead man was fonnd, alio that a home had Wen
tied in two different placos the night hiforc,
but n short distance from the place of murder,
that at ono place tho horso had been fed, etc.
At the clo;o of examination, thu justico ad
journed tho emito till Monday, wlicu ho com.
inittoJ Whitney to await the action of the
grand jury.

HURDZX OF OUVZX BXBSKT.
Yesterday wan a day of intense excitement
at Silvorton. The court convened at eleven
o'clock.for tho purpose of giving John Whitney
a preliminary hearing, on the charoo of bving
wilfully murdered one Oliver nilcrt, on tho
morning of the 10th inst. E. J. Dawne, deputy
Sroscsutor, appeared in behalf of the State, and
. A. Stratton for tho defence. After the ex
amination of somo fifteen witnesses, tho caao
was submitted to the court, when it was U's
covered that the proeecntion had utterly failed
to make a caic, much less one that would jos
tify the conrt to bind the defendant over to the
mooting of tho grand jury, -in tho first plea
there was no proof Introduced to show that
deceased had beui murdered, though it was
shown that ho wis found dead in the road; but
how, when or by what mians, whether by his
own hand or that of some one else he came to
his death, was not attempted to be shown in
evidence, and as no mnnler had been proven,
thcro was no alternative but for tho court to
order tho discharge of the defendant.
No sooner was tho order made than the ex
cited crowd mode a rush for the nocused man,
overturning benches in their excitement, and
seizing him, threatened to try the caao them
selves, with tho assistance of hemp. So strongly
is it believed at Sihcrton that tho accused s
imillv that thn Uimat of lvnchinc would most
certainly havo been executed had not Sheriff
Itakcr interfered. ,
Tho prisoner was broucht to tho city list
night by the sheriff, nnd placed in tho county
jail, llo says ho could prove an alibi, but that
would not lett.jr hii oondirfon, as it would milv
get him ont of one scrapo into another, which
dics not spuik very well for a man iu his situ
ation. lksides tho suspicions surrounding this case,
it would appear that Whitney has nut occupied
n flattering. tHMition in society, as he served a
term in tho penitentiary for larceny.
The woman claiming to be tho wifo of tho
murdered man has been gmng through some
queer maueniers sinco tho night of the murder,
which has cased some to believe that she
knows more than she cares to tell.

SAtP.u, Oregon, Seiit. 13, 1878.
Mji. JDnoiit-l feel satisfiol from what I
have Ikch told that somo statements which
api-eared in tliu daily pajiew relating to an ex
iiiiiinition lcfie a magistrate nt Silvorton on
lat Wednewlav, have been nufairtoMr.U.iwne,
who appeared 'for tho Stato on that occasion.
Of eonrsa Mr. Dawne makes no prcfensions to
nnv chtisiiloralile experience in the practice,
nnil knowing him to bo a novice in tho hnsinrss,
in justice to him I must say that so far na the
proceedings came under my obrerrntion, and I
was in thu conrt nsmi n jiart of the timo during
the trial, and hoard him examine several of the
nimieroiiH witnesses, nnd was agreeably aur-lirs.-d
at tho ability and tact ho dismayed.
Mr. Strnlton, counsel for the defendant, will
n- no with mo in this. Tlio whole people there
were wrought tip to almost madness, and jnstly
ti. iu presence of tho foul murder committed;
nnd universal riMnicion (amounting to belief)
had HKttted npon tlio defendant as the murder
er; and in view of this it is not unreasonable
to ptinwo that womo was expects d of tho
pnieoention than the evidence withiu 'reach at
thu ticiu would justify. J. A. Aitlwiatk.

he had his mouth open during his nap.
There wnsn strange taste In his mmilti,
and throat felt raw. Budeuly he ejected
nbout n half cupful of slime, and font time
ho thought ho had been iwlsoued. He
felt very sick and ho vomited copiously
and had pains. After vomiting ho felt
us If he was going to strangle, because, he
says, something worked Into his throat
f oui his stomach, nnd then suddenly
ilisiippeart'd. Minutes seemed hours to
lilm, and he said he wnsso terribly scared
that the presplratlon stood In great bends
on his foreheud nnd ho trembled in fear.

weighs 1U8 pounds. He worked no more
that afternoon, but went to the spring
and filled his kettlo with water. When
ho stooped to dip it out ho soys liu dis

possible that during his sleep he must
have hud his mouth open nnd swallowed
something Tho thought nearly over
powered him, and he says ho relied on
the water ho had In his kettlo to keep
himself from being strangled. As ho
walked toward home, every timo ho felt
his throat filling hedrnnkplenty of water
and by the timo ho had reached home ho
hud drank nearly every drop in toe ket

The children were screnraing In terror of

his social nature, stiraulatlnfr his intel

deserving of tho public approbation.
It is idle to say that tho peoplo ought
to seek for their representatives in
high offlc'.al station. When farmer
prepare themselves for public duties,
tho fact ia not likely to oo long over
looked. They can only do this by per
forming all tho duties of their present
position not only on tho farm, but in
society, in tho church; and in tho po
liticul assembly. Thus they will be
men among men, nnd if they tiro qunli
flud for public station, the fact will not
long bo overlooked. That high ofilces
are bo poorly lllled is chiefly bcuauso so
few reully fit mon present themselves.
It does notdisprovo this, that many
nolo men keep in tho background; that
is Just whtit such men should not do.
It is thn healthy communications
within tho grange thnt bring such men
to the surface. Farmer's Friend
