The democrat ic congressional convention of the sevonth district horo today resulted in tho unanimous renomlnation of Congressman J. W. Maddox for an. other term. Will the woman and her son who found Merrill's body, get tho reward? is the general inquiry. It is purely a question of law There has been a great deal of liti gation on the subject of recovering rewards, and the decisions all point to one conclusion; that it is simply a contract, and the conditions of the contract must bo compiled with the same as other contracts. It appears that there have been few rewards earned that have been obtained short of litigation, and especially where the reward has been offered to the general public. Question Looked Into. A "legal" gentleman investigated the books on the subject for the East Oregonian, and while ho thinks that is is a "close case," he thinks that tho woman and her sono will recov er the reward offered by the superin tendent of the Oregon penitentiary. The clause upon which tho contract Is founded reads as follows: "$3001 reward for the capture and return, dead or alive, of Harry Tracy and nnvld Merrill or J1500 for ach one who escaned from the Oregon Btatelthe primary purpose was to appro penitentiary on tho morning of June hend or kill tho criminals so as to rid 9, 1902." After giving a description society of their depredations; that of tho convicts the circular con- It was not necessary for tho woman "nnnni n t t t .op miner-1 or lier Bon to run him down and com- intendeni Oregon state penitentiary." ! mit murder In order to got tho re- claim tho reward, not having madt tho capture under tho terms of the offer. So it all narrows itself down to tho term "capturo" again. "Capture" is not a good word In the senso used by tho superinten dent. In law it does not apply to the arrest of criminals. It refers entire ly to tho capture of vessels and other captures made in war times and is never referred to In criminal pro ceedincs. "Arrest" or "apprehend" should havo been used. Opinions of Lawyers. The lawyers havo various opinions on tho present case and are ablo to draw many illustrations, and many claim that tho offer contemplated the arrest or apprehension of tho crimi nals as well as their return, and that tho mere finding of tho dead body docs not entitle the finders to tho ro ward. Are Enltled to Reward. The gentleman who looked tho mat ter up for this paper, however, standi' on the opinion that thoy are ontitled to recover tho reward. Ho says that Sixteen Golfers Left. Chicago, July 17. Tho third match round of tho National Amateur Golf tourney began this morning under most favorablo ausplcos. The grounds wero In porfect condition.

SHORTS FORCED TO SETTLE BIG SQUEEZE IS ON IN STOCK MARKET TODAY. July Corn Is Once More Doing Stunts on the Chicago Board of Trade, and Price Is Going Up. Chicago, July 17.

Josh A dersnn, wlfo murderer, was take from tho Jail horo by a mob thti morning and hanged. , SB Washington & Oregon Electric Railway Light & Power Company Offer is Binding. The offer Is a legitimate one and is binding and the person who complies with Its requirements Is entitled to the reward. All that is necessary is to "capture and return" the body to the superintendent of the peniten tiary. While "capture" 1b one of the requirements, and it would be diffi cult, to "return" the body without '"capturing" it, the question is raised as to what is tho meaning of tne word "capture." The return of the body to tho penitentiary would make out a prima facie case, and unjess some other person should contest the claim the superintendent would bo re quired to pay tho reward unless ho had knowledge of tho fact that the claimant had only found the body and this would not entitle him to ward; that if through them tho body of Merrill 1b produced and on no other person makes any claim, they are en titled to the reward, Tho communi ty Is relieved of all doubt on the sub ject and this la tho end desired. They found the body, "seized" it, as the word capturo means, and to thorn the country looks as the persons who brought about tho , osltlve news thai Merrill was no more and produced his body to show it. Thousands of Dollars Saved. f If they had not found the body thousands of dollars might have been spent In tho future on wild goose chases in search of Merrill, but it if now all put to rest. Thero should be no hesitation in paying this re ward to the woman and her son, says the Bast Oregonlan's "legal" man.
