ABE RUEE IS CONVICTED M a y Get 14 Y ears Get Sentence Saturday Mr«. Sharp Get« Into Trouble. EromJ. H. Cummings, who re cently came down from the Blue River district and went to Portland Tuesday to make some different arrangements about his Myrtle group of claims, we got a story of a big strike by Hawkins and Kar- low on Ouartz creek, on the l.ane county side of the Calapooia ridge, lie says: “ 1 was coming past their mine to come out, and they invited me to look at their find, and there is no question but they have a large body of free milling ore. 1 panned a pan or two of it myself and found all kinds of strings of free gold in the bottom of the pan. They are getting $50 l»er ton out of it by the crude methods they have of hauling it 1800 feet down the mountain side on a hand-sledge to a rude arastra made during the summer, and even in tliis rude manner they are mak ing good money. What we need is a railroad to the Blue river dis trict and we can show to the world that we can produce as much gold as any camp on the Pacific coast.” — Register. Year's Mineral Output. According to estimates made by mineral producing coriiorations of the country, the total value of the mineral yield in the United States this year will be but a little less than $2,000,(too,(too. If all the gold mines in the world were eu gaged to produce gold to pay for this year’s mineral outturn in our country, and if the rate of gold production were the amount set forth in the gold production statis tics of last year, then all the gold mines would have to work five years to pay Uuele Sam’s bill for what he will put down to his ore- digging account for 1908. The Kugene Register says: Mrs. Mary Sharp of Cottage Grove, a widow with four children, was in Eugene Tuesday and got into all kinds of trouble. She was sus pected of shop-lifting and was ar rested and a number of valuable articles were found ou her person She at first persistently denied having taken the goods, but the evidence was so strong against her she finally had to admit taking them in each case. She took a silk scarf worth $2.50 from Dunn's store; a remnant of Silk from Friendly’s; a handsome purse at H ill’s; a lielt from one of three stores that carry the same kind; and a remnant of ribbon. Only a few of these were found about her at first, but a lady deputy was se cured to search her and found the others secreted about her clothing. She also had $32.50 in bills and EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY HENEY APPEARS AGAIN OF MRS. S. J. SCOTT IN THE WITNESS BOX San Francisco, Dec. 9.— Prancis J. Heney appeared as a witness to day at the trial of Attorney Frank J. Murphy, accused of attempting to bribe a veniremau in the Ruef bribery case. The assistant prose cuting attorney, who has not been in public since he was shot down in Judge l.awlor’s court room by Morris Haas, appeared to be al most entirely well. A slight dis coloration of the right cheek marked the spot where the bullet of the would-be assassin had en tered. His voice was full and strong, proving the fear of its im pairment to have been unwarrant ed. On December 5, at her home near Creswell, Mrs. S. J. Scott celebrated her eightieth birthday. She was Ixirn Decembers, 1828, in Sbelbv county, < >hio, and crossed the plains with her father, Rev. William Robinson, in 1847, riding the entire distance on horse-back. O f a family of 10 children she and a sister alone remain. She was married to W . J. Scott on March 3, 1859, in Polk county, Oregon, by Rev. Wilbur. O f all the guests present at the wedding she is the sole survivor. Her hus band died on August 11, 1896. She is the mother of 10 children, all of whom are living. She lias 34 grandchildren, 27 of whom are Junction City is going at her living, and has 24 great-grand boosting in the right way.

Smyth Get« a Fine of $300 Hyson Smyth, the transfer mail, who plead guilty to violating the local option law, was fined $300 by Judge Harris which he paid. The prosecuting attorney asked the leniency of the court on ac count of tbe defendant's family. San Francisco, Dec. ID. — Abra ham Ruef was found guilty at 4 o ’clock this afternoon. When the verdict was read nearly everybody arose to their feet, but there was no scene nor demonstration. Reuf nearly fell from his chair when he heard the verdict. Heney entered the court room shortly before the verdict was an nounced. He sat at the end of the table near where he was shot. It was his first appearance since he was shot. WII.I, PRONOUNCE JUDGMENT SAT URDAY. Judge Lawlor, as soon as the verdict was read, discharged the jury and thanked them for the un usual services exacted of them. Judge Lawlor set uext Saturday as the day for pronouncing judgment. Reuf’s conviction renders him liable to the maximum punishment of 14 years in the penitentiary. Reuf’s customary calm returned in a few minutes aud he listened to expressions of regret from friends without a shade of emotion. He declined to make any comment on the verdict, saying he “ did not wish to have his utterances distort ed later.” As Reuf descended the steps to enter the prison van that conveyed him to jail, there were a few faint jeers from the crowd, but the presence of a score of de tectives who surrounded him would have discouraged any concerted attempt at demonstration had any existed.

C., Dec. 9.— President-elect Taft and Speaker Cannon were in conference an hour and a half at the Boardman residence today, where Taft is a guest. Kacli announced that ar rangements were made for a con ference between Taft and the re publican memliers of the house committee ou ways and means. The subject under discussion was regarding the tariff, which Judge Taft declared himself most positively in favor of thorough re vision. It is believed today’s con ference was to his liking. SIGNIFICANT POINTS OF Lawlor. His coming had been heralded, and as he alighted from the automobile and posed for the newspaper photographers, a man on the sidewalk proposed three cheers, which were given by the crowd across the street. Notwithstanding all efforts of the officers, when Heney entered the court room, men and women arose to their feet and cheered, waving their hats and handker chiefs. Heney proceeded directly to the seat he occupied when Haas shot him, after which he went to the chambers of Judge Lawlor, where he remained for half an hour. HOW THE JURY STOOD. Foreman McNamara of the jury stated tonight that the jury stood eight to four for conviction on the first ballot. At 3:20 in the after noon two more were won over to the conviction side on the fourth ballot and on the fifth ballot a few minutes later the jurors voted unanimously “ guilty.” Cyru« Woolridge Gets 15 Days in Jail. Cyrus Woolridge who carried liquor to a dance near Junction and sold or gave it away some time since and who was brought from Southern Oregon to answer to the charge, plead guilty and was given 15 days in jail. Given a Parol Sentence. Bert Kelsay, plead guilty to the charge of perjury, was given the minimum sentence, three years in the penitentiary, but it was a parol sentence.

Portland, Dec. 9.— That the men who robbed the East Side Bauk of almost $15,000 in gold, silver and currency in circum stances showing them to be chief- taius at their unlawful vocation were provided with an automobile, into which they hea|>ed their ill- gotten treasure after driving a dis tance of three miles iu a buggy, appears almost a certainty, from developments iu the case last night aud this morning. Every thing indicates that this automo bile, containing the loot and two men, went whizzing through Mont- avilla about forty minutes after the bauk holdup was perpetrated, aud the theory is entertained that the plunder is cached somewhere beyond the city limits, and iu all likelihood near the big butte the other side of Moutavilla. Herman Schmidt of Creswell, arrived in Eugene Wednesday from Portland, where he went to close a deal for some land near Creswell which he and his brother and Dr. Scarbrough have pur chased to set out a new orchard. He went on to Creswell in the a f ternoon. — Guard. WheelerThompson Co.’s BIG $10,000 STOCK Men and Boys’ High Class SUITS, OVER COATS, CRAVENETTES at Slaughtered Prices For Benefit of Creditors. W .
