Do mil Iff a ((-d Terms Apiieals to
Wtljcu to Enforce I,nvs of Ore-
lxinnton. Or. Jnn. 25. (Editor
of lfcuit Oregnnlnn) "I have read
yosr article headed "Farmers
aventre murder with speedy Justice,"
that appeared In your valuable paper
Tie. 31, 1909, which (fives an acrount
of the killing of Arthur Orcene by
OIHs Fnydor, and the cowardly "lynch
In w" f tho latter.
The three persons Chas. Beymer,
Artksr fircone and Ollie Pnydor
wheai I have known for years, cnused
ths Kid trauefly. In which Justice was
Ignored and "Judfre Lynch" relpned
supreme.
It Is. Indeed, a very sad nffnlr,
whr we, the American people, who
are considered hy nil other nations
as the most intelligent and progres
sive InhaMtants of the world, allow
such cruel, barbarous anil unjust
lynthlnir to be carried on In our prrent
and prnnd state of Oregon. And the
time has come when such unjust and
uncivilized action of mob violence
should not be tolerated under any
circumstances.
The people of the stat of Orofron,
or, rather, those of Grant county, the
pines of the recent tragedy, should
do their level best to brine; the enl
prlts to Justice, so that Just punish
ment could he mcoted out for their
nelsons crime.
According to my Intuition, there
was no murder committed until Ol'le
Pnyder was taken from the Deputy
Sheriff by six men, and shot to death
whllo he was absolutely helpless and
wit It his handcuffs on.
Snyder was a young man of 30
years. Industrious, sober, straight
forward and peace-loving, who herded
sheep off and on for several years,
and was, during summer time, em
ployed In the haryest field In Morrow
county for the last six years.
Being of a timid disposition Sny
der was affable and good-natured,
while Greene was quarrelsome and-ob-slreperous,
especially when under the
Influence of "booze," which he liVed
"extremely well," nnd he had trained
considerable notoriety as a "booiter"
and fighter. Chns. Beymor's Idiosyn
crasy Is being hlentlcal with that of
A. Greene when living.
Beymer was running a saloon at
1oxlngton, Ore., for some time, and
at. the time of the sad trng-ody. he
was engaged In the sheep business at
Hamilton.
From the coroner's vnrdict and
from my familiarity with the dispo
sitions of these mon, I tx-llevo the
following facis:
Tloturnlng froni town with a. demi
john of whiskey, Beymer nnd Greene,
both "full of booze" nrrlved at tho
sheep ramp where Ollle Pnyder was
employed ns herder.
P,clng drunk, they abused Snyder
by nlweene and profane language,
threats, and also intimated Hint they
would kill Snydur's dog. A sheep dog
Is Indispi nsnble to a herder, and it
Is pi rfeclly natural that Snyder,
when lleynior and Greene threatened
to kill hjs iI.ir. should object to the
unreasonable and unjustified killing
of the dog.

kicked over the cooking stove, anl
ordered Fnydcr to cook and prepare
certain dishes of food, which It was
Impossible for the herder to do under
the existing dilapidated conditions of
the culinary department of the camp.
Being very much Insulted at the
rough, unjust and barharous treat
ment that Snyder was subjected to by
Greeny nnd Beymer, Snyder told
Greene that ho would leave the camp,
whereupon Greene, armed with a
knife, ran the herder from one cor
ner of the house to the other, slash
ing the knife furiously at f-'nyder, cut
ting the latter's clothes nnd watch
chain. Finally, the herder picked up
a gun that was hanging on the wall,
and shot his brutal opponent.
Snyder, In order to save his own
life at that time, had to kill Greene
In self defense, or he would have ! h
been brutally slaughtered by Gr"T.c.
Greene died almost Instantly, and
was found with a, death-like grip on
tho knife In his hand.
The facts show that Snyder gave
himself up ns soon ns he deemed il
safe to do so that be would be pro
tected from mob violence.
Snyder did not receive iny protrc
tlon from Deputy Sheriff Passldy. !
though he was Justly entitled to it. I
I nave no prejudice against inese
persons; they are neither friends nor
enemies of mine.
Greene worked for me last season,
breaking lir.rsr s. lie was a good hand
in that vocation. If It bad not been
for his ndr.ptnhillty to "boozing" and
fighting, he would have made an ex
pt rt In breaking and handling horses.
Whiskey, brought to the crimp by
Beymer rnd Greene, was the primary
muse of this unjust killing
,.n nm these mnh violences to no
toknitefi to stain and mw the col-j
lectlve moral character of our grand
state. So long as these criminals lire
not convicted wild brought to Justice,
Just so long will such depravities con
tinue to exist. ,
Now, fellow citizens, the time hafc
come, when these ntroclous deeds of
violence, ignoring all law, must hf
stopped.
Through these five or six persons,
who are guiVy of such heinous out
rage, our rountry is morally suffer
ing, so much so, that It can hardly bt.

Our country, with lu system of ju
diciary and criminal courts, is well
able to handle Die criminal document

the existence of such mob violer.ee.

Thero haw been a timo when It was
neeesKiry to organize a vigilant com
mittee, even 'In our grand state of
Oregon, and during tho last twenty
five or thirty years, quite. a number
of people have met w th untlm' ly, or,
rather, unnatural physical (resolution,
at tho hands of lynchers,
In some' InHtanees, persons that
were extremely prejudiced and full of
grudgn against some . fellowman,
hanged their victim only to find af
terward that their victim was Inno
cent. A s'rnilar act of depravity was com
mitted ubout 20 years ago (fellow
reader pardon me If the time of this
occurrence is not correct, ns I do not
now exactly remember when it oc
curred) near Adams.
I happened to be at Pendleton at
t'nt time when tho pr'sner. charged
with stealing a horse from John Ad
ams, was in custody of tho deputy
sheriff, although Mr. Adams had not
sworn to the complaint, neither had he
had a horse stolin from h'm.
After tho prisoner's urrest, he was
handcuffed to tho horn of the sad
dle nnd in this torturing manner the
deputy sheriff held his prisoner on
Main street, Pendleton, until dark.
The retaining of tho prisoner at
Pendleton until darkness was for the
express purpose to take h'm under
the cover of darkness to Adams, and
thus allow'ng Judge Lynch to carry I
on his unlawful and unjustified act. I
By the time they reached Adams a j
few men, who had a personal grudge
against this prisoner, took their In
nocent victim and hanged him to a
scaffold that had been previously
bu'lt for that purpose.
I passed by the road next morning
and the scaffold was still there at
that time, but the body had been re
moved. No arrests were made, though near
ly everybody in that locality knew
tho particulars of the case, and the
men who carried out this unlawful act
were known.
It Is a well known fact to those who
wa tclie j the v'gilant committee that
these lawbreakers were boozers, and
that these dispensers of "lynch law"
gone' from bad to worse.
I was born in Oregon and natural
ly love my native state. It recalls to
my m nil the sei nes of my boyhood
days, which are dear to my heart; It
reminds me of the sweet and sacred
memories of my parents. sisters,
brothers and relatives.
I cannot forget the spot in Oregon
the silent city of the dead where
rest the nslics of my father, whose up
niiht Tfe has been an inspiration to
m
and jvhose counsels 1 ngered in my ,
ears n.'ter he was gone. The spot J
whore rest the ashes of my beloven
daughter, as tender, and as true, as
patient, as g'nlle nnd as kind as God
in His Infinite love ever gave to man.

Tile attractive literature sent out
during the past year and the wide
publicity given all rarts of Oregon
have been fruitful of results and In
quiry about this state was never so
general as at the present time. Be
cause of this widespread Interest In
Oregon, it may be expected that the
state will receive a large immigration
during the coming spring.
Oregon people should do all they
can to add to this movement to the
Pacific northwest by arousing inter

of the country who re looking for
new homes and information should be
supplied them on the opportunities
here for newcomers nnd particularly
thost. who desire to engage In agri

rewarding those who are engaged in
them.
