once convicted ot the murder of Nellie
Cropsey, comes up for trial again.
Wilcox Is tho son of ex-Sheriff
Thomas P. Wilcox, of this town. Ho
went to tho homo or W'llllam H. Cros
by, a well-to-do man ot this placo, on
the night of November 20, Inst, to
call on Miss Nellie Cropsoy, to whom
he had played tho devoted lover slnco
1898 When he arrived tho family
was In tho sitting room. Roy Craw
ford was thcro calling on Miss Olive,
a sister of MIbs Nellie. Soon after 9
o'clock tho members of tho household
except two sisters and Miss Carrie
Cropsey, a New York cousin, retired.
At, 1:30 o'clock Miss Carrie went to
her room, leaving the two young men
Crawford and Wilcox, with Olive and
Nellie. Wilcox and Nellie had been
quarreling for a month or more and
wero not on speaking tcrmB. Tho
girls had refused the day before to ac
cept fruit bought by Wilcox. Ho had
been paying special attention to Miss
Carrie for a week or two.

her murder. Public feeling was very
Intense and speedy trial resulted In
a verdict of guilty and a death sen
tence. There was some fear at tho
time of mob violence. In granting a
new trial, the supremo court said that
the evidence was entirely circumstan

have given tho necessary cautious
and vigilant attention to the evidence
or to tho presentation of the prison
er's caso by counsel, nnd that the con
duct of the spectators In nnd about
the court was sufficient to prejudice
the Jury.

Crops.
Henry K. Fisher, or Baker county,
gives the following Interesting re
sume of Irrigation to the Morning
Democrat:
"I know what! Irrigation will do in
our valley," said Mr. Fisher. "I had
a no-acre field in whent for a number
of years. It raised 30 bushels to tho
acre and upwards. Last year I
thought the ground was getting thin,
and decided to put It In grass. This
year I got two cuttings of alfalfa off
that CO acres, which netted mo 200
tons at H per ton cash on the field.
That was better than the wheat, I
shall keep that field In grass a year or
two, It costa only H.2G per ton to
raise hay, cut and stack It.
"Yes, I bellevo In Irlgatlon and I
am going to the Portland convention
to do what I can to Induce national
Irrigation works In this county."
