SAUNDEES' TEXAS LIFE.
A Pellow Townfiman Tells an Inter
esting Story About Him.
Prof. Chas. T. Caldwell, a mem
ber of the Randall concert compa
ny, who were here several days
last week, sa'S the Corvallis Ga
zette, hails from Bonham, Texas,
in which place "William Wirt
Saunders, now famous in the
criminal annals of Oregon, lived
from early childhood up to the
time that he came to this state.
A Gazette reporter, learning that
Mr. Caldwell's home was in Bon
ham, called on him and heard the
following story, which we know
from corroborative evidence to be
true in nearly everv particular:
"Wirt Saunders," said Mr. Cald
well, "belongs to one of the best
and most highly respected families
in the state of Texas. They came
from Bowling Green, Kentucky,
quite a number of years ago, and
located in Bonham, then only a
small village. Since that time
the Saunders family have been
counted among our most enter
prising and worthy citizens. The
father, Dr. J. S. Saunders, is a
physician of considerable reputa
tion throughout Fannin and ad
joining counties. He conducted
a drug store for several years, and
this, with his large practice, en
abled him to lay aside a sufficient
sum to support himself and wife iti
their old age. They are not rich,
but simply in comfortable circum
stances. Since I have been in Or
egon I have repeatedly heard the
statement made that Saunders'
father was rich, and would buy
him out of the penitentiary within
five years. I suppose that Wirt
must have circulated the story
that his family was wealthy, think
ing that their supposed wealth
would add to his respectablility.
Bacon Saunders, the eldest broth
er, is, like his father, a physician,
and is considered the leading sur
geon of that section of country.
John, who is about two years
younger than Wirt, is a drug clerk,
and is a most exemplary young
man. A still younger brother is a
student in the public schools at
Bonham. There is a sad romance
connected with one member cf
this family, the only daughter, who
died on the eve of her wedding,
and was buried in her weddimr
garments. The baunuers are ail
tall, well made men, and have a
distinguished air about them.
Wirt's early days were spent in
the public schools, and afterward
in the college at Bonham, from
which he graduated with high
honors. He was then sent away
to school, to Louisville, Ky., I
think, but I lost track of him
until he returned to Bonham and
opened a law office, going into
partnership with another attornev.
The sign of "Wm. Wii t Sannders
& Co., Attorneys at Law," was
only taken down from the office
front in Bonham a few months
ago, and his office safe, with his
name painted on it in gilt letters,
was one of the last objects I
noticed before leaving home.
Saunders built up a good practice
and was looked upon as one of the
most promising young men in
the country. He is very fastidi
ous in his dress, and was supposed
to have a different suit of clothes
for every day in the month. In
society he was very popular for a
long time, until troubles came
which seemed to change the whole
tenor of his life About this time
he was engaged to a Miss Hattie
Williams, a popular society lady,
but the engagement was for some
inexplicable reason-broken off and
Miss Williams was soon after mar
ried to a millionaire, who lived in
a neighboring county. This great
ly affected Saunders; but a few
weeks later he surprised everybody
by marrying -f Miss Stokes. A
daughter .was. born to them and
they lived r-happily together for a
time. About a year after his mar
riage, the husband of his former
affiance was killed by being thrown
from a horse, and from that time
Saunders and his wife did not live
happily together." Not that they
quarreled; but Mrs. Stokes-Saunders
was, jealous of the other
woman, as she liad'-ome reason to
be. About this.. time Saunders
became addicted to the use of
morphine, and at times acted so
queerly that his -father kept him
confined at home for some .time.
His wife, went witK.her child to
make her home with Dr. Saun
ders, where she still lives. Soon
after this, Saunders was indicted
for forgery, having signed another
man's name to a deposition. He
was released on bail and left the
county before the time of the
trial, his father and brothers mak
ing good the bonds. I was sur
prised to hear the many ridiculous
stories he had circulated about his
life in Texas. He never was a
cowboy or ranger. He never
killed a man there that I know of,
in self defense or otherwise.
When he left there he was consid
ered a crank and morphine fiend
My. idea of the whole affair is that
Saunders, in his diseased state of
mind, wove these romances with
which he appears to have stuffed
the people of Oregon, and told
them so often that he believed
them himself.
The news of his killing .Camp
bell was received with great sor
row by the people of Bonham and
Fannin county, and on account of
the respectability of the famuy
and the high esteem in which
they were held, the papers of that
section never mentioned the trag
edy. The only notice I saw in the
press of that part of the state was
a sensational article in the Fort
Worth ITerahlf which gave a cir
cumstantial account of the hang
ing of Saunders sometime in July,
1S85.

A NEW 0. E. & S. STEAMER.
Orders were received here yes
terday, says the Oregon Ian of the
llfh, from manacrer T. J. Potter
to proceed as soon as practicable
with the construction of a new
stern wheel steamer, and also to
make some needed repairs to sev
eral of the boats now belonging to
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company's fleet. The new craft
will be built with exclusive refer
ence to passenger accommodations,
and when completed will be placed
on the Portland-Astoria route.
Plans have not been prepared yet
for the proposed boat, but- her di
mensions will be about as follews:
Length, 215 feet; beam, 34 feet;
hold, 8 feet. Swiftness, comfort and
elegance will be combined in the
construction of the new boat. The
purpose is to carry no freight
whatever, and therefore there will
be no delays occasined by landings.
Capt. L. A. Bailey remarked yes
terday to a reporter, "She will be
a clipper, and when she. gets to
running will make the fur fly."
Just as soon as the model and
plan are received here and some
preliminaries arranged, the con
tract will be awarded and work
commenced at once. When oper
ations begin the work will be
pushed through as rapidly as pos
sible. The two boats . G. Heed and
Mountain Que en will be thorough
ly overhauled very poon. Mon
day the fonner steamer will be
withdrawn from the line and
taken out on the ways. Next the
Mountain Queen will be reno
vated, repainted and placed in
first-class condition for service.
The orders received thus far onlv
include the building of anew boat
and the overhauling of the two
named; but it is quite probable
that a number of other boats be
longing to the present fleet will
also be placed in excellent condi
tion fr.r bcrvicc. Two boats will
be kept on the route between
Portland and Astoria besides the
new passenger craft. Lively times
can be expected on the upper,
middle and lower Columbia before
another half vear is nast. The
mooted question as to whether the
O. R. & N. company would allow
their boats to rot and abandon
river navigation seems to be set
tled. From the new manager's
orders received yesterday it is safe
to assume that the' will continue
in business "at the old stand."
