RATIFIED
'WRIGHT .NOT GlllIY.
Did Not Help Tracy and Merrill F-s-itie
From Prison.
Salem, Oct. 3. At an adjourned
session of Judge Burnett's department
of the circuit court held yesterday the
ease against Harry Wright, who was
charged with murder In the first de
gree, was discharged upon motion of
District Attorney John H. McXary.
Wright, who had been Jointly In
dicted with Charles Monte, was tried
at the July term of court but the Jury
failed to agree and the ease was con
tinued. The defendants were accused
of furnishing the flreurms to Harry
Tracy and Dave Merrill with which
the two convicts killed Guard Frank
Ferroll, while making their "escape
from the Oregon penitentiary on the
morning of Jane 9, 1902.
Monte was also tried at the July
term and was found guilty of murder
In the second degree and sentenced to
the penitentiary for life.
The officers being unable to gather
additional evidence against Wright
since the July term of court decided
to make no further attempt at prose
cution, feeling confident thnt the evi
dence at hand was not sufficient to
convict him. Wright's defense was
In the hnnds of Attorney P. H. IV A r-
cy.
Before the charge of murder was
dismissed 1ho district attorney filed a
new Information against Hurry
Wright, by which he was accused of
the crime of larceny, the spectrin
charm being that he stole a team and
buggy from K. E. Gilliam, who con
ducts a livery barn in this city, on
May 22. 1902. Wright, when taken
before Judge Burnett, pleaded guilty
to the charge, waived time and was
sentenced to serve one year in the
uenltentiury. Ho was transferred
from the county Jail to the big liistl
tutlon by Sheriff Culver and his depu
ties late yesterday afternoon.
Shortly after his release from the
Oregon penitentiary In May, '1 90 j
Wright hired a team and buggy from
K. K. Gilliam under the pretrnse of
desiring to make a short drive. He
drove the team to Portland where he
tried to sell the outfit and finally left
It at a livery barn In thut dry. where
it was. later found by the owner. It
Is for that crime that he Is now serv
ln; a year In the pen.

Mysterious Mining Engineer

Railroad Surveying Party Recently
Olierating Near Stage Gulch Was
Working Toward Gunlane Coal
Fields.
A quiet, but thorough and expert
examination of the McLaughlin coal
mlneB at Gurdune. In the southern
part of this county has Just been made
by a mysterious mining engineer, who
came and went with little ceremony
and few words.
The engineer did not even give his
name or his object, but was conduct
ed through all the shafts and work
ings of the mine where he took sam
ples of coal, made tests, took alti
tudes, made notations as to angle.
dips and location of the coal vein and
inquired as to the most feasible wag
on road or easy grade from the mine
to the northern part of the county.
The verdict of the engineer as given
by Mr. McLaughlin, was that the coal
was a first-class quality, was part
of an enormous coal belt and that It
would not need to he developed fur
ther ill order to be a highly valua
ble and marketable property.
. This examination was made by a
member of the surveying party which'
was seen In the vlcclnity of Stage
gulch In the western portion of this
county two weeks ago. No Inform
ation was given as to who was inter
ested In making the examination, what
the object was. or what the result
would be. The only Information
vouchsafed to, Mr. McLaughlin was
that the coal tested high In quality.
i was a portion of an extensive field.
and that it was a valuable property
und needed no advertisement to place
it before capital as an investment.
I Air. Jieiaugnnn is greatly encour
aged by the decision of the mysterious
mining man. although his actions and
observations were shrouded In an air
of mystery. " ,J
It Is evident from the activity In this
county that some one of the great
railroad systems now building and
threatening to build, are interested In
securing a foothold in the coal fields
of this and Morrow counties.
'Nothing further has been learned of
the surveying party which traversed
the western portion of the county
some w eeks ago, but it Is believed that
the railroad survey and the examina
tion of the Gurdane coal fields may be
united into one story.
