COUNCIL AND COMMITTEES
APPOINTED FOR COMPANY h
Tho Company Expects to See Service
at Fort Stevens During July and
Co-operate With Federal Regulars;
All as a Precautionary . Measure
Providing for a Possibility of War
With Japan Government Pays the
Expense of Encampments,
Following 1U regular drill last eve
ning Company L held a business ses
sion in the armory and adopted a set
of by-laws and transacted other busi
ness. Under the by-laws the captain
of the company acts as chairman at
business sessions, and Roland Oli
ver was elected aa secretary for the
ypar, and A. C. Funk as treasurer.
Also, a council of administration
consisting of Captain Kern, Lieuten
ants Smythe and Aldrlch, First Ser
geant Goodman and W. A. Crank,
was elected. Committees were nam
ed by the chair as follows: Armory
committee, Lee Drake, Royal Saw
telle and Carl Nlssen; recruiting
committee, Leo Kohn, Percy Folsom
and Ed Marsh.
That the members of the local mi
litia company will Bhortly see some
enjoyable service at the seaside is
very probable. By an order just is
sued by the war department it Is di
rected that during July seven com
panies of the Third Regiment O. N.
fl. be stationed at Fort Stevens for
10 days for the purpose of taking
part In the maneuvers at that point
The guardsmen are to co-operate
with regular, encamped there In de
fending Fort Steven, against imagi
nary foes from the ocean. They will
be trained among other things in the
matter of restating landing parties
from hostile ship, that might appear
in time of war.
In view of the general uncertain
condition In the orient and the possi
bility of a war with Japan, it Is the
Intention of the . war department as
expressed In the recent order, to have
the guardsmen of the coast state. In
a proficlant shape for service should
they be needed.
The expense of keeping the seven
companies of the guard at Fort
Stevens is to be borne by the federal
government and the companies to
go will be selected later by Colonel
McPonell, commander of the third
regiment. In view of the fact that
an encampment at the coast would
be more enjoyable to eastern Oregon
men than to the yalley companies, it
is believed Company L will be among
the favored .even.

In vlow of the coming encampment
and the desire to he in good training

much praise for the company. The

direction a man would fall If shot
while stand'ng at an angle of 45 de
grees and replied that he would fall
forward. However, the doctor declar
ed that Estes could not have been
standing at such an angle and still
had his feet In the position In which
they were found.
M. E. Randall was then called by
the state, hut he was not permitted
to testify as to the occupation of
Estes.
Sheriff Toylor was then called and
also Identified the bullet as the one
given him by John McCourt. But lit
tle if anything new was brought out
by his evidence. At 12 o'clock the
noon recess was taken, and It was
stated by the attorneys that little
more evidence was to be submitted.
Late Yesterday Afternoon.
Following Dr. Cole upon the stand
Dr. H. S. Garfield was called and was
asked the same questions as the pre
ceding doctors regarding the prob
able attitude of Estes when shot. In
his Judgment a man receiving the
wound Este. did was in an Inclined
position and he illustrated the prob
able attitude to the jury.
Judge Flu Gerald.
Judge Thomas Fits Gerald was
next called. Immediately after the
arrest McManus had been brought
before thai Judge by Messrs. Coffman
and Wilson. He declared in answer
to a question that the defendant had
made a statement to him at that
time. Ho then told In a graphic
manner of tho story given by Mc
Manus at that time. In the same
McManus hud made the same state
ment he gave to others soon after
wards and has held to ever since, to
wit: That he had been robbed twice
before and that Estes had tried to
rob 'him Just before he drew his gun
and shot him,
Sheriff T. D. Taylor was then call
ed and was asked if McManus had
made a statement to him, and he re
plied that he had talked while being
taken to the county Jail In a cab
from the recorder's office. However,
the sheriff s testimony was objected
to as being self-serving and the ob
jection was sustained. An acrimoni
ous tilt here occurred between
Messrs. Fee and Phelps and the ob
jection to Taylor's testimony was fi
nally withdrawn. He then said Mc
Manus had told him Estes had fol
lowed him and that he had tried to
put his hand Into his pocket when he
shot him.
E. B. Aldrlch, city editor of the
East Oregonlan, was then called and
testified to the statement made by
McManus while he was being held at
the recorder's office awaiting the ar
rival of the sheriff.
John Halley, Jr., U. S. commission
er, was then called and testified that
Estes' reputation for honesty In this
community was bad.
Kees Evidence Impeached.
At this Juncture the defense began,
upon a line of evidence looking to-'
wards the impeachment of the tes
timony given on the stand by John
Kees of the Taylor hardware store.
George QT-anlel, V. Stroble, Charles
Fishman and S. M. Doan, all mem
bers of the Estes coroner's Jury, and
Coroner Ralph Folsom were placed
upon the stand and declared that at
the Inquest Kees testified differently
from what he had upon the stand.
On the stand during the trial Kees
had declared McManus told him he
wanted a revolver to kill a man who
had robbed him, while the coroner's
Jurors all insisted that at the Inquest
the salesman had said McManus told
him he wanted the gun to kill the
man In case he should again attempt
to rob him. Also several other
points In Kees testimony were dis
puted, one of them being his state,
ment that McManus had told him he
knew the man who had robbed him.
J. S. Eeckwlth, court stenographer,
was then placed upon the stand with
his coroner's Inquest notes, and
showed that the testimony of O. W.
Coffmnn before the coroner's Jury
differed from that offered on the
stand. On the stand In the trial
Coffman declared that McManus had
told him he had bought a gun to kill
the man who had robbed him, and
Beckwith said he had not made that
statement at the inquest.
A. A. Roberts, receiver of the land
office at La Grande, was the last
witness called yesterday, but he was
not allowed to testify.
WALLA WALLA EXPECTS CROWD
Garden City Will be Filled to Over
noiilng for the Field Meet.
The Walla Walla Statesman says of
the track meet and declamatory con
test to be held in Walla Walla May
2 and 3:
Scarcity of place, to eat for the
hordes of athletes and visitor, which
will pour Into the city next week for
the lnterscholastlc track meet is be
ing found by these who are trying to
make arrangements for caring for the
young men.
It is said the restaurants confess
they cannot possibly meet the extra
drain as they can with difficulty feed
the number who are now here. It is
probable that either some large hall
will have to be hired or the base
ments of the different churches used
to take care of the visitors. ,
Sleeping place, for from 9R to 100
visitors have been registered with
Secretary A. C. Moore of the Com
mercial club. A. the result of a spe
cial meeting of member of the alum
ni held yesterday afternoon commit
tees were appointed to solicit places
of entertainment for the young ath
letes while here. Another commit
tee will strive to sell tickets to the
events and still another will solicit
funds to make up the expense fund
for Incidentals and transportation.
Aa the date for the big event ap
proaches the magnitude of It grows
upon those who are working hardest
for its success. It will be the biggest
thing of Its kln.l whl-jh WaiU Walla
has ever undertaken. One Idea of the
size of the meet may be gained from
the fact that there are 40 entries
In one event, the quarter mile run.
The officials held a meeting last
night and wrestled with the arrange
ment of the program. The field has
been placed In magnificent condition
and the strictest rules will be en

STEPHENS' QCTEER DELVSION.
Thinks Others, Not McManus, Respon
sible for Estes' Death.
That his brother and himself. In
stead of J. P. McManus, are responsi
ble for the killing of Bob Estes, Is
declared by H. T. Stephens, of Uma
tilla, who Is now confined . in the
county Jail on an Insanity charge.
Stephens Is the brother of A. B.
Stephens, the Umatilla snloonman, and
complaint against him on the above
charge was made today. He believes
that his brother Is demented or hyp
notized and consequently should be
cared for at the asylum.

is not in his right mind and he will be
shortly examined for Insanity.

newspapers of the United States send
ng papers Into Canada must pay post
age at the rate of one cent for each

this paper.
Photographed the Campmecting.
Major Lee Moorhouse, the noted In
dian photographer, went out to the
Tutuilla mission yesterday, where he
took a number of view, of the village
of teepees and Indians who are In
attendance at the big campmeetlng
now In progress there. Some of the
women were a little reluctant about
standing before the camera, feeling
that they were not In their most beau
tiful attire, and not sufficiently dec
orated to have their pictures taken,
but most of them were finally per
suaded. The scene Is an Interesting
