VERDICT AT DAKER
W IN J jY MR. WEST
The Late E. P. Redford.
Baker, Or,, April 17.— Ex-Gov
ernor West won tonight in the
suit brought in Circuit Court here
against him by William Wiegand,
a Copperfield saloon keeper, fo r
damages alleged to have been
caused by the removal o f liquor
i and saloon fixtures from his sa
loon, when Governor W est de-
I dared martial law in Copperfield,
after Fern Hobbs’ visit on Janu
ary 2, 1914.
The jury returned the verdict
at 7:48 o’ clock, after being out
seven hours. Nine were for
the ex-Governor and three dis
senting. The first several bal
lots the jurors stood eight for
the defendant and four against,
and the dissenting ones did not
change until a fter 7 o’ clock.
The verdict was a surprise
here, because it was thought that
the length o f time occupied by
the jury in its deliberations in
dicated an anti-West verdict, and
when the verdict was read by
Circuit Judge Anderson the few
present seemed dazed.

REV. SUTCLIFFE ON
LECTURE PLATFORM
Lebanon. Or., April 17.— Rev.
Robert Sutcliffe, pastor o f the
First Methodist Episcopal Church
o f Lebanon, has tendered his
resignation and will enter the
Ellison-White Chautaqua service
as a lecturer.
Rev. Mr. Sutcliffe began his
ministry in settlement work in
London, before he was 20 years
old. A year or two later he en
gaged in the same kind o f work
in Boston. Later he joined the
East Maine conference o f the M.
E. church and for more than 20
years he has been an active and i
successful
minister.
He has
been in Oregon for six years.
He was pastor three years o f the
Cottage Grove M. E. church and
his able and logical sermons and
addresses attracted wide atten
tion in this part o f the state.
Rev. Sutcliffe will spend a
week at each o f the chautauqua
cities. He will deliver six morn
ing lectures and one afternoon
lecture at each stand. Mr. Sut
cliffe’s friends here are much
pleased with his success in secur
ing the position he has received
and feel certain that he will
make a success o f the work. He
begins his new work in May.
