THjeJ OKEGON STATESMAN r FKIDA V. NOVEMBER 18. 1887
FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.
"Joe Goose." Ywioo atones bare
been told concerning Joseph Davis, the
wife murderer, who recently suicided in
Marytvilie, California. One of his so
briquets was Joseph Goose, and for years
be was known by no other name in Yam
hill coanty. There is a dispute as to bow
he earned the cognomen. One account
is that it was because be possessed the
faculty of imitating the bonk of a wild
gooae, and another is that be had an
overpowering propensity for stealing
seeae. City Attorney Bingbam, of Sa
lem, once defended him for stealing
chickens. Davis was born in Missouri,
in 18G3, came to Oregon with his step
father, and married a respectable woman
in Washington county. Two children
yet survive. Joe deserted her and ran
away with the wife of a resiectable
farmer named Dawson, with whom be
led a wayward life, traveling from place
to place. It was on one of the last of
these expeditions that be was in Salem,
when he shot himself in the foot.
The Willamette Bridge. The coon
cil committee on streets and public prop
erty, to which was referred the matter of
protection and repairs to the Willamette
bridge, has differed upon the manner in
which the central pier should be guarded
from the force of the current. A part of
the committee thinks that a mass of
rock should be placed around the pier, in
anch shape as to ofler least resistance to
the current ; while the other part of the
committee considers that the pier should
be surrounded by a wooden crib, which
should be filled with rock. The com-
znittee being unable te settle the ques
tion, has becided to refer the matter to
the council, and that body will probably
consider it next Monday night at their
adjourned meeting. The committee has
decided to employ a competent workman
to tighten the bridge braces.
Not All In. Champoeg, one of the
two belated precincts which had not
made any report of the late election to
County Clerk Chapman, yesterday sent
in its returns. The only one that now
remains is Stayton. It is inconceivable
why a precinct so accessible to the coun
ty seat as is Ktayton should delay the
count of the vote of the entire county
by its own procrastination in despatching
the returns to the clerk. There would
seem to be no excuse for the judges of
Ktayton in holding back their returns.
The citizens of Marion county are anx
ious to learn the official majorities by
which the three amendments were bur
ied, and Ktayton should stir around and
make its report.
Father Wilbur's Will. By the terms
of the will of the late Father Wilbur,
ien. W. II. Odell, of this city, and Rev.
Sara Driver, of Walla Walla, were ap
pointed executors. Not being a resident
of Washington territory, however, Uen.
Udell could not serve, and Mr. Lover, a
banker of Walla Walla, has been ap
pointed in his stead. It is estimated that
after the estate is settled, which will be
very easy to do, and the various legacies
to charitable and other organizations are
paid, over $15,000 will be left, which will
be added to the endowment fund of .Wil
lamette university. This is the largest
eingle endowment Willamette university
ever received.
Three Vagraxts. Recorder Strickler
held a matinee yesterday afternoon, at
which Chas. Howard, James Malarkey
and Wm. Simmons were the principal
actors. They were charged with vagran
cy and each pleaded guilty, and the first
two were sentenced to ten days in jail.
Simmoni, who is a familiar character in
police circles, was 6ent up for 15 days,
lie looks like he had had a little encoun
ter with a battering ram, his eyes being
blacked and hU face swolen. It is said
that Simmons was once proprietor of a
first class saloon and billiard parlors in
Portland.
Ministerial TTmos. At the meeting
of the ministerial union, yesterday, it
was decided to request the Rescue club
to confer with the pastors as to Sunday
union temperance meetings ; also, Re
eolved, To hold Thanksgiving services in
the Presbyterian church. Tov. 24th ;
Rev. II. A. Newell to arrange the pro
gramme. Revs. J. W. Harris and J. W.
Webb declining re-election, Kevs. II. A.
.Newell and A. R. Medbery were chosen
president and secretary, respectively.

Elected Firt Ijictexast. At a
meeting of t company, 1st regiment,
called to fill vacancies, Robert E. Davis,
well known in this city, was elected first
lieutenant and fi. T. WUlett second lieu
tenant. Mr. Iavis was absent at the
time of his election, and the office being

pressed by the com pan v in him is espec
ially complimentary, (lis friends in Sa

LETTER FEOM ISELA5D.
From Sew York to Queens town
; Wm. O'BrienThe Lakes of
Killarney, etc.
George Watt, who, it will be remem
bered, left Salem about two months
since for Europe, has written some very
interesting letters to James Watt, of this
city. Through tbe courtesy of the latter,
the first epistle of his traveling brother
written on foreign soil is allowed to be
published :
Dcbux. Ireland, Sept. 21, 1887
Dear Brother : I sailed on the steamer
"Ohio," Inman line, and arrived at
Queenstown, Ireland, in nine days and
thirteen hours. This is slow time, but
the Ohio was built for the New York and
Philadelphia route, and is not fast, but
very comfortable and seaworthy. We
bad ten heurs of fog, but no rough wea
ther, except off the banks of Aewtound
land, where the sea is seldom smooth
A few of the Dassenzers were sick, but
the majority came regularly to their
meals. When -the Kerry mountains of
southwestern Ireland could be seen, ev
ery body was happy, especially some
nativn of the Emerald Isle who were
making a visit home after years of ab
sence in America. The hills were green
and beautiful. Six hours after sighting
land we entered the harbor of Queens
town, and a tender came out and took
from the steamer those passengers who
were bound for Ireland. The steamer
then sailed on her way to Liverpool, and
we on the tender steamed through the
harbor entrance, which is defended by
two forts, one on each side. The scenery
is fine, and there are two good-sized
islands llawkbowline and Speikel the
former containing a tank capable of hold
ing 5,000 tuns of water, and the latter
formerly occupied by 1,000 convicts, but
now the headquarters of the officers and
boys of H. M. training vessel. The cus
toms officers looked hastily through our
baggage, and we went to a hotel.
Some of the peculiar things I first no
ticed on landing .were the quietness of
the hotel runners; the absence of free
'busses; the many offers to carry your
valise ; donkeys almost as large as New
foundland dogs bitched to carts, and the
peculiar call the drivers had to urge them
on; the ancient appearance of some of
the buildings; the stone fences; tbe
large number of public houses or saloons;
the number of beggars ; the absence of
appearance of prosperity where every
one makes a good living.
Took the train next morning for Cork,
eight miles up the river Lee, and stopped
there two days. Wm. O'Brien's arrest
and tbe Mitchellstown trouble were tbe
principal topics of conversation. Here,
as in Queenstown and Dublin, there ap
pear to be much suffering and want ; the
people are expecting a ham winter, ow
ing 10 smau crupe
and drouth. While
here, went to Blarney Castle, constructed
in tbe fifteenth century; it is- 120 feet
high, and a splendid view of tbe sur
rounding country can be obtained from
its top. Most of the people who go to
see it probably go through a desire to see
the famous '"Blarney stone," of which it
is said,
" That whoever kiea,
Oh, he never miivei
To jrow eloquent," etc
From here we visited the establish
ment of Dr. Barter, where the first of the
Turkish baths was erected.
My next move was for the lakes of
Killarney, where the scenery was fine
enough in my opinion for almost a three
days' stop. The lakes are a great sum
mer resort, and jeople come from all
parts of the world to them and
their historic surroundings. Ross castle,
built in Cromwell's time, is at the edge
of the lower lake, and from it can be
seen three principal islands of the lake,
the most beautiful being Innisfallen,
where Moore wrote his celebrated "An
nals of Innisfallen." Some of the people
who live here take deluht in repeating
passages of the poem to strangers and
most all of them know this much :
"Sweet Innisfallen. fare thee well."
Every variety of scenery can be seen
on this island. I went in a row boat from
the lower to the upper end of the lakes, a
distance of twelve Irish or about fifteen
English miles, and the scenery on tbe
way was all one could wish for. Some of
the interesting points on tbe route are
ilena bay and cottage where the queen
stopped one night during her visit to this
countrv; the "meeting of the waters" of
the three lakes ; Eagle's Nest, 1000 feet
high, noted for its fine edio, and Arbutus
lsiand, so named from the wood indig-
nou to killarnev. I obtained
case made of the wood, on one side of
which is painted the shamrock leaf of
Ireland.
From Killarney to Ihiblin, 170 miles,
the country is not very invitintr for a
good part of th way. Bom and rocks
are the principal points noticeable until
von get about half way, when the country
looks more attractive. Ruins of castles
and abbeys are seen, also a number of
round Cowers, and within four and a
quarter miles of Ihiblin the largest round
tower in Ireland is seen. iHiMin, tbe
metropolis and former capital, is a fine
city and ha many magnificent public
buildings. Population, over 500.000.
Trinity College, the Bank of Ireland,
Four Courts, the Cattle of the Lord
Lieutenant, and "I'hanix" Park are some
of the sights worth seeing.
From here 1 intend to go to Glasgow,
thence south to London.
Sueur IhnrtRENCE. The Portland
World reports that the prohibition amend
ment has been defeated in tbe state by
16,000 votes. The Portland Prohibition
Star is not yet willing to admit that tbe
amendment is defeated at all. The Star
intimates that there e no reasonable
doubt that it is snowed under in Port
land by some 5000 votes, bat it will go
right on thinking tbe an tend -stent
ia carried until tbe offi
cial count ia made. It is highly
probable that if some one should give
the "Star" tbe information that Christ
was crucified, its editor wouid demand
the warrant of execution to show for it.
i P alkwl Ccr. Will, 12-year-old son of
MsL Frank E. Ilodgkin, is suffering from
the eaects of a wound received while
handling an ax several day msro. - Tbe
implement slipped and the blade struck
tne youngster just above the left knee,
IwSicUng quite a painful ' flash woowd.
Will has bees confined to the bed for Rev-
eral day on account of the accident, and
be will have to stay there until the

FROM SATURDAY'S DAILY.
Rcsaway. Yesterday afternoon about
2 o'clock a young woman named Nichols,
living near St. Paul, was seriously bruised
by being thrown from a buggy ia North
Salem. She was sitting in the buggy
near Wade's store while tbe horse was
being fed by a small boy, a relative of
hers, who had taken off tbe bridle! Hie
animal became frightened at something
and started to run, attempting to turn
around towards the north. Tbe horse
and buggy swung around on tbe opposite
side of the street, when the vehicle turn
ed over and the younz woman was
thrown out upon the walk. She was
picked up by spectators and carried into
the house of Mr. Wade, and Mrs. Joshua
Smith, who was passing, came to the
city after a physician. Dr. J. N. Smith
was called, and in com pan p with a re
porter, hurried to the scene of the acci
dent. The doctor found that, while Miss
Smith was very badly shaken op, no
bones were broken, and she is not likely
to sustain any permanent injury. Mean
while, she is receiving every attention
from Mrs. Wade. The horse which had
been tbe cause of the accident was cap
tured without difficulty.
The Garrett Party. Yesterday after
noon tbe Garrett party arrived here in a
special car from Tacoma, and are stop
ping at the Esmond. The party consists
of the following members: Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Garrett, Miss Mary Garrett, 3Ir.
and Mrs. James Swan Frick, Howard
Mannikhuvsen, Dr. Nathan R. Gorter,
Dr. Wm. T. Barnard, Charles R. Mac
kenzie, and W. E. Siebert. Last evening
the party visited the New Park theater,
and witnessed a portion of the perform
ance of "Tbe Creole.'.' The party occu
pied one of the boxes, and remained
about an hour. They left before the per
formance closed, having ordered their
carriages to call for them at 10 o'clock.
The members of the party appeared to
highly enjoy and appreciate the excel
lent performance. Oresronian.
-
Mixes a CotrsciLMAX. The second
ward, represented in the city council by
Messrs. Albert and Shaw, is now minus
a councilman. Tbe family of Mr. Albert
yesterday moved from the second ward
to tbeir new residence in the fourth ward,
and Mr. Albert is therefore ineligible as
councilman. His formal resignation will
probably be tendered to the council next
Monday night, and the vacancy will be
filled. The term for whicb Mr. Albert
was elected expires tbe first of next year,
and his successor will have but a short
time to serve. The next city election, at
which four councilmen are to be elected,
occurs the first Monday in December.
At that time the successors of Council
men Wade, Albert, Waller, and Bridges
will be elected.
Elected Art Teacher. The trustees
of Willamette university, at their meet
ing on last Wednesday night, elected Mr.
W. E. Mitchell, the artist, as additional
teacher in the art department. Mr.
Mitchell will have a studio in the univer
sity and will have general charge of the
art department. Miss Craig, whose abil
ity as a teacher no one questions, will
continue in her art work. Miss Craig's
studio will remain at the east entrance of
the university as heretofore. The an
nouncement that Mr. Mitchell takes
charge of tbe art at the university will
gratify his many friends and will no
doubt be a wise and profitable addition
to the universitv.
Transatlantic Rocte. Yesterday,
Isaac A. Manning, agent of the famous
Anchor line of Atlantic steamships, re
ceived a full line of supplies, tickets, etc.,
and he is now prepared to furnish either
"outward" tickets to, or "prepaid" tickets
from Glasgow, Londonderry, Queens
town, Liverpool, London, "Cardiff, or
Bristol, or German and Scandinavian
ports. Persons desiring to send to the
old country for friends will find tickets
and information at -64 Commercial
street. dw
Packing I"p. The fruit evaporator
having shut down for the season', Super
intendent Orr is now engaged in packing
the machinery and placing things away
for the winter. Ltaring the last short
run of the factory about 1000 bushels of
apples were evaporated. Mr. Orr expects
to return to his home in New York in a
few days, and he will probably return in
the' spring when the fruit Reason opens
np. Mr. Trescott. the manager, will
a cardTi'Kely remain in Salem during tbe win
ter.
Will Start Monday. The Capital
Lumbering mill, which has been shut
dowa for some days owin to the fact that
a consignment of logs had stuck on the
lar above town, will start up again Mon
day, the river having raised sufficiently
to float the lotra down. The rains of. the
past week bare supplied all the water
necessary to make the river easily navi
gable, and resumption of traffic both by
the Oregon Pacific and O. R. & N. com
panies is daily expected.
Sbst Up fob Two Years. Frank
Burkharkt, convicted of perjury, was
Thursday sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary and to pay a'fine of $1, in the
circuit court of Multnomah. The perjury
was committed bv riving testimony in
the suit of T. Staple ton vs. tbe Phenix
Insurance company which was tried two
years aeo. Burkhardt seemed to feel
pleased at receiving so light a sentence.
Train Late. The south-bound train
was fifty Bainutee late at Salem last nUcbt.
This delay was caused by a tree falling
across the track at Rock Island, eight
miles north of Aurora. A wreck was
probably prevented by a tramp, who dis
covered the tree on the track and
"flagzed" the train. Tbe telegraph
wires between Salem and Portland were
also badly knocked out last night, and
very little work could be put through.
Brume Accetted. The county com
sniesioDers of Marion and Linn counties
have accepted the bridge across the San-
tiam at . Manama. The commissioners
are warm in their praiae of Lb maiuun
in which tbe Pacific Bridge company ful
filled their contract. The actual cost o

P ID THE PENALTY.
R. E. Marple Hanged at
Lafayette.
A DISCONNECTED TIRADE.
He Exhibits' Unosnal Malevolence
in His Last Moments HI
Neck Broken.
Richard E. Marple, tbe murderer of
D. I. Corker, was banged at Lafayette,
Yamhill county, at 12:45 p. m. yester
day, by Sheriff Harris.
Notwithstanding tbe fact that the day
was very stormy, quite a large number
of people thronged the streets of Lafay
ette to witness, if they could, the judicial
death of Marple. If tbey expected to
see the murderer of Corker dangle from
a rope's end, tbey were disappointed, for
Sheriff Harris had constructed the
scaffold in an enclosure, on the,
north side of the Yamhill county jail,
situated in tbe block west of the court
house, perhaps thirty feet square and
twenty feet high. A stairway was built
directly from one of the windows of the
jail to the platform on which was con
structed tbe trap door through which
Marple was to drop into eternity.
Marple did not seem greatly apprehen
sive of his approaching end. About 12
o'clock Sheriff Minto, of this county.who
was present at the invitation of Sheriff
Harris, dressed the prisoner in a neat
suit of black, with white shirt and in
slippers. The pinions and handcuffs
were fitted on him, and everything made
ready for tbe approaching execution.
Promptly at 12 :25 Sheriff Harris, against
whom Marple never lost an opportunity
to utter some expression of his hate.
when be dared, took charge of the
doomed man, and, assistedjby ex-Shenffs
Col lard and Gates, marched bim for the
last time from his cell through the open
window, up tbe stairs, upon the platform
of, the scaffold, and seated bim upon a
chair prepared for him. There were
assembled there twelve electors, sum
moned by Sheriff Harris as a jury to
witness the execution. Marshal Roes and
Deputy Potter, of Salem, Thoa. Belcher,
of Portland, Jerry Caldwell, of tbe Ore
gonian. Father White, his spiritual ad
viser, two physicians, and several others
besides those already mentioned.
Marple did not look as if his long con
finement bad impaired his health. He
was rather fleshy, and bad a full beard.
He was reasonably cool, and when asked
if he had anything to say, rose to bis
feet and called for stimulants, hich were
given him. After silence of a few mo
menta, be began a tirade against Sheriff
Harris, tbe authorities, bis attorney, H.
Y. Thompson, and the Masons, who, be
affirmed, frightened tbe lawyer from prop
erly de.'endin&him. He claimed that the
murder of Corker was committed by five
parties, the names of two of whom were
Clarke and Eastman. His speech was an
incoherent harangue, and at tbe end of
twenty minutes he was stopped by Sheriff
Harris, who rightly considered that Mar
ple bad had suthcient time to confess, or
vindicate himself, if that were possible.
Ex-Sheriff Collard then stepped in front
of the condemned man and read the
judgment of the court. He was inter
rupted twice by Marple, who, when that
part of the warrant which stated that he
was condemned for the murder of Corker,
hissed bitterly: "Lie! " and again, as the
ex-sheriff read on, exclaimed, between
his clenched teeth: "False! false as
hell ! " The deputy finished, and Marple
was placed upon the trap.
His arms were then pinioned, his
hands handcuffed. Lis legs tied, and the
black cap drawn over his head, and the
noose adjusted. As Sheriff Harris was
engaged in tightening the knot, Marple
exclaimed: "Don't choke uie! If you
had an axe you could do a shorter job."
When all was ready, Sheriff Harris ful
filled the duty imposed upon him by the
law by springing the trap and judiciallv
killing Richard E. Marple. His neck
was broken and he struggled very little.
He dropped s x feet. The physicians pro
nounced life extinct in fourteen minutes,
and about six minutes afterwards the
bod v was taken down and placed in a neat
coffin, and was to be delivered to his
father last night. It is supposed that the
dead murderer w ill be buried in Corvallis'
where Mr. Marple, Sr., resides.
The rope which hanged Marple is the
same that executed Joe Drake, in Salem,
on March '20, 1W, ami the last white
man banged in Portland, which event
occurred but a short time before Drake's
execution. There is practically but one
sentiment in Yamhill in regard to Mar
pie's execution it wa just. Sheriff Har
ris discharged his duty faithfully and as a
conscientiors officer should. He stood
Marple's abuse1 on the scaffold patiently,
and only interrupted him when the time
allotted to him for speaking was op.
The crime for which Marple suffered
the extreme penalty of the law was com
mitted some time daring the night of
Monday, Nov. 1, 1. Corker was a
hardware merchant at Lafayette, and,
being a bachelor, slept alone in a back
room of his store. He retired as usual
on the evening in question, and at 9
o'clock the next morning it was discov
ered that he bad been the victim of a hor
rible butchery. He was found lying in
bed, with bis arms cut and broken, and
bis fare cut diagonally across one side
from tbe eye to tbe further side of tbe
chin. Just above the eye there was a
fearful gash in tbe skail. Examination
disclosed the fact that an entrance had
been effected from tbe rear, by some per
son or persons, the intention being rob
bery. Corker probably woke up and was
killed by an axe in the hands of tbe rob
ber. An inquest was: held, and
several Chinamen were at first vus
piciooed. but not arrested. Marple,
who was a shiftless fellow, began talking
about the murder, and by bis reckless
statements toon betrayed tbe fact that be
knew soxnothiAt; 1 ot the affair. He
wm arretted, trwL and found guilty
on 'condtaisw circumstantial n wti
dance. ' Hi "-eassr sf ' appealed
and the decision ef the lower court af
firmed. Yesterday's execution was the
last act of tbe tragedy begun over a year
ago.
' FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY.
Mrs. Lcnn's Fcseral. A very large
audience assembled at the M. E. church
yesterday .morning, to pay tbeir final
tribute of respect to the memory of the
late Mrs. J. II. Lunn. Tbe services
opened bv the reading of tbe ritual by
Rev. M. C. W ire, while the remains were
being con reyed into tbe church. Tbe choir
under the leadership of Prof. Starr sang
the brmn, "Earth has no Sorrows," a
great favorite of tbe deceased, and one
which, with the two others sunn during
the services, she requested should be
used on the occasion of her funeral.
Rev. Wm. Rollins then led in an affect
ing prayer, and the choir followed in an
anthem, "She's Gone." Scriptural read
ing by Mr. Wire, and tbe bymn ."Home
of the Soul," preceded the funeral dis
course preached by Mr. Wire, wbo was
Mrs. Lunn's former pastor. Tbe text
was from 2d Cor. iv. 18, and the reverend
gentleman's address was touching and
impressive. "Mr. Rollins followed in a
eulogy upon the life of the deceased,
and, after a last glimpse of the face of
her who had been so highly esteemed in
the church had been taken by the con
gregation, the audience was dismissed,
and the funeral cortege started for the
Odd Fellows' cemetery. Tbe procession
was a long one. The rites at the grave
were short. The friends returned to
their homes about one o'clock, deeply
sympathizing with the bereaved hus
band, son-in-law, and grandson.
River Traffic. The river at 5 o'clock
last evening was over four feet above low
water mark and still rising. The Orient
is expected np Monday evening, and un
less the stage of water lowers, which is
not at all likely, she will continue regular
trips through the winter. It is expected
also that the O. R. & N. company will
place two other boats the Bonanza' and
Champion on the Willamette, to com
pete for the wheat traffic. One of the
two latter boats will run on the river
above Corvallis, while the other will
carry freight wherever traffic calls her.
The S. P. R. R. company (the narrow
gauge) will put on two boats below Ful
quartz's landing, while the Oregon Pa
cific will have the Bentley, the Three
Sisters, and the new boat now being con
structed in Portland, pi vine tbe river be
tween Eugene and Portland. Altogether
the outlook is lively, and competition
will no doubt be very spirited. The
benefits accruing therefrom to the pro
ducer can hardly be estimated.
Exchange or Taffy. Salem has the
good fortune to possess one of tbe live
liest, cleanest, brightest newspapers in
Oregon. The enterprising proprietors
have just set up a fine Cottrell cylinder
press and engine in order to meet tbe
large demand for their paper, and we are
glad the boys are meeting with the suc
cess tbey have fought so bard for. Tbe
Statesman is a credit to Salem. Dallas
Itemizer. Modestly disclaiming more
than its due meed of merit, the States
man begs to assure Mr. Graham Glass,
Jr., editor of the Itemizer, and formerly
of the Salem Daily Tribune, that his com
pliment is fully appreciated, the more
from the fact that he himself is running
one of the beet county papers in tbe
valley, and is therefore a competent
judge of others.
Railroad Car Tipover. Last Friday
an accident occurred on the narrow gauge
which, miraculously, did not prove fatal
to any, says the Itemizer. Shortly after
the north-bound train left Bridewell's,
the fore wheels of the passenger car sank
through a rotten tie, and the car turned
over instantly. Passengers were thrown
every way, some sustaining quite severe
bruises. The brakeman, Boodle, was
badly hurt, but is now convalescing.
Uncle Sam's mail matter was scattered
all over the ground. The car has been
placed on the track, and is now running
with the regular train.
New Lodge. Alex. Rothenstein, past
grand president of tbe United Order of.
Honor, instituted Marion lodge No. -127,
ou Friday evening. This order is an in
surance organization, and this is tbe 127th
Pacific Coast lode. The officers of the
new lodge are: Past president, S. Fried
man; president, .1. H. Strickler; vice-presi-lent,
C. W. Hellenbrand ; secretary,
A. M.Clough; treasurer, Scott Bozorth;
chaplain, F. J. Catterlin ; conductor, L.
J. Hick; inside guard, ieo. F. Smith:
outside guard, L. M. Haines; medical
examiner, Dr. J. N. Smith; trustees, A.
Mayer, L. M. Haines and J. Warner.
For the Asylim. Deputy Sheriffs S.
J. Pilkin and Chas. Lembill arrived here
yesterday from Astoria with an insane
man named Frank Mills for the asylum.
The unfortunate is 25 years of site and a la
borer by occupation. He is possessed of
the hallucination that a fat political of
fice awaits him in Washington; also
that he is the owner of all the gold mines
in Southern Oregon. . The firot halluci
