BUSY COURT SESSION
M. Young Is Found Guilty-Grand
Jury May Return Many
Indictments.
TO BOOST DALLAS.
The "booster meeting" for Fri
day night failed to materialize, owing
to tbe inability of Mr. Weils, general
advertising agent for the HarrimaD
lioas, to reach Dallas at that time.
Tonight however, the business men of
Dallas will have ample opportunity
to atone for the omission of that time,
by attending the meeting which will
be held tonight for the purpose of
organizing a commercial club and
arranging for a practical and an ex
tensive advertising cumpaign.
Mr. Wells was In Dallas this morn
ing, arid meta numberof the. business
men of Dallas In the county court
room and outlined to them tho "Sun
sot" schemo of com m u n ity ad vertlsing.
Two plans were offered, in both of
which the burden of exponso upon the
people of this community will be ex
tremely light, in comparison to the
burden assumed by the Southern
Pacific Company in carrying out the
advertising work.
Tho proposition sanctioned bv tho
business men who were present at this
morning's meeting and which they
will endeavor to curry through, calls
for an expenditure, of only $!170 by the
people of Dallas. This sum is to be
paid in Installments, go that the share
that each person assisting in tho work
would have to raise for each monthly
installment, would be a mere bagatelle.
i Ho scheme embodies a twelve
months' campaign of advertisement
of Dallas and Its resources through
out the eastern states, a campaign
that will put Dallas unmistakably on
tho mup and call everybody's atten
tion to the fact that it is on tho map.
There is scarcely a city of Htiy size
in tho Willamette Valley that has
been less advertised than Dallus in
tho past. Yet, In spite of that fact,
Dallas has by virtue of its Inherent
merits ami Its wonderful native
resources, kept pace with, and in most
cases outstripped its sister cities, in
development. Uiveu the added im
petus of systematic and business like
ooosting ami its possibilities for
further growth can scarcely bo esti
mated.
To conduct the proposed campaign
properly a commercial club or busi
ness mens' organization Is absolutely
necessary and tonight's meeting bits
been called for the purpose of effecting
such an organization. It Is up to
every citizen who wants to see tin
beginning of a growth in this city,
that will fairly eclipse the growth ot
previous years, lo lend his assistance
to tho present movement to get it
started and then Bee that, once stalled,
It alia!! never stop until tho cud for
which it Is Is-ing inaugurated has
been aecomplinhed,
What bids fair to be the most inter
eetlngand important session of circuit
court that bas been held here for years
is now in session in this city, and at
the rate the work bas progressed so
far, the session bids fair to last
through theentire week.
Yesterday morning was consumed
in the reading of the docket and the
drawing of the grand jury. The
members of the grand jury are
W. E. Burns, foreman : T. B. Crook,
H. Foster, Boy Byerley, A. J. Mar
tin, J. D. Slagle and J. L. Murdoek.
Thus far only one true bill bits been
brought in D. M. Beamer, of Mill
Cteek, was indicted for larceny in a
dwelling bouse and was arraigned
I this morning, tomorrow morning
I being set for him to plead. W. L.
j Tooze, Jr.,. is acting as attorney for the
defendant.
It is thought that tomorrow will
bring forth a number of indictments
j for tbe illegal selling of intoxicating
liquors, although the grand jury has
returned none up to tbe present time.
The rumor is that the prosecution of
alleged sellers of liquor will be one of ,
the most noteworthy features of the
jury's work during its sitting, and the
number of subpoenas issued seems to
justify tbe inference.
The case of the State of Oregon vs.
E. M. Young, which has draeered
through the circuit courts for so long
was finally brought to trial yesterday.
Young was accused of shooting Asa
Taylor, son of Marshal J. M. Taylor,
of Independence. It is alleged that
he also shot Marshal Taylor but this
was not Included in the charge, Young
being indicted on only the one count
Briefly, the history of the trial is as
follows. A quarrel of long standing
between tbe two men was finally pre
cipitated into a fist fight on the streets
ot Independence, over a disagreement
about a dog. Young, it was claimed,
saw the city marshal approaching to
ma boh b assistance, anu urew a gun,
firing and striking young Taylor in
the shoulder. He then turned the gun
upon tho marshal, the bullet inflicting
a serious wound.
The case has aroused great interest
In Polk county, and the court room
was crowded with spectators during
its progress. Yesterday afternoon was
given to taking the testimony and
tins forenoon to the argument. The
jury retired Just before noon today to
dellborato and returned a verdict of
guilty at 1 :10 this afternoon. Judge
Burnett will fix the line tomorrow,
the members of the jury in tbe
Young trial were: James Atwater,
W. V. Acocko, George Bull, J. M.
Dickey, A. W. Fletcher, A. B. Athey,
. B. umwalt, W. A. Sloan, Albert
Domes, It. Brunk, F. II . Pepper and
John Ebbo. J. H. McNary conducted
tho prosecution and Oscar Huyter and
Jonn uurson were attorneys for the
defense.
