In tlit! early hours on Monday
meriting Henry Winn, a well
known young tnnii living Houtliof
town,' struck his brother ' nigral
terrific blown with a club on the
head mill arms, causing fiuoon-
eiousncis.
How it alt came about has the
tisuul number of versions but the
most credjble one ahij the. pne
which MrVWinn told the officers
(rivheu&n swore out tho complaint
for the. arrest of bis brothe r i
fallows: ' ' .'
, M A. Winn iiml wife reside en
, small farm south of town,
nd with them lives the former's
brother, Henry Winn. Sunday
Henry and M. A. Winn' wife at
tended the conductor' picnic at
alem. They returned on the boat,'
were met by the husband, and all
went home where the hnpteningB
of the day were discussed until a
late hour, all retiring to their
apartment! at the name time. .It
eem the btd-ehsiuber constituted
room for' both beds, and Hhortly
after the midnight hour Henry
claimed nickneHR and callmi to Mrx
Minn, and together they went
lown-stair8, the husband falling
back into slumber. Mrs. Winn is
aaid to have returned to her place
hemde her hunbsnd, and later on
Henry came with a club with
which he struck his brother sev
ral blows on the head, cutting
deep gimhen, and several blows on
the arms, swelling them to thrice
thoir size. The blows, of courso,
rendered him unconscious, and on
coming out of tho stupor he Buys
Ids wife whs standing between
Jlonry and himttelf screaming. He
was covered with blood. He anked
Henry why he did it, mfd ho re
plied: "f don't know." They went
to their father's home, a few rods
liHtiuit, and there discussed the
matter with him, Henry still in
piHting that he didn't know why
ho had committed the deed.
On coming to tort ii Monday M.
A. Winn swore out a warrant for
his brother's arrest. , The prifoner
was arraigned, but waived examin
ation, entering a plea of guilty.
He was hound over in the Hum of
ifi'iO, in default of which he was
committed to tho county j-iil to
await the circuit court. This is
one vernion of the affair. Others
think that Henry and tho wife
were enamored of each other
and the act was premeditated.
There are several other theories,
l)ut in the absence of substantiating
proof we refrain from giving them
publicity. It is enough to know
that the young man has committed
a crime which is very grave in the
-eyes of the law.

Tonight (Thursday) and Friday
evening the Indies of the Presby
terian church will give an elabor
ate Rose Fair, which for unique
ness probably finds no parallel in
the annals of church entertain
ment in the . county. As an
nounced last week cash prizes will
be Riven for, the beat collectioncof
roues," individual specimens, etc.,
j and as Oregon is the rose center of
the world, and Polk county the
garden spot of Oregon, there should
b plenty of good natured, though
earnest, riyalry among the ladies
of the county to carry off 1st pre
miums.
But this is not all. On Tburs
day evening a minstrel show will
he put on, the best local musical
talent appearing in interesting
darktowii specialties." This will
be the best local entertainment of
the season, and Friday evening is
not to be surpassed by the evening
previous. A general musical and
literary program will be rendered.
A general admission fee of 1" cents
is charged; children 10c. Reserved
seats for the minstrel are on sale
at Locke's, 25c.

Over the grave of Neighbor
Scralford last Sunday afternoon the
MonmcAith Circle No 31, Women
of Woodcraft, unveiled a beautiful
marble monument, the impressive
service of the order on such
occasions being carefully observed.
It was a beautiful afternoon and
large delegations from Indepen-
ilence. isuena lsia, .unnasouin
and other Circles were in atten
dance. These ceremonies represents
more than placing a cold piece of
marble to mark the resting place
of one who has passed to tho other
shore. Its deep significance lies
in tne lact mai me AeignDors,
with loving hands, not only care
for their members while living but
consider it a solemn obligation to
extall their virtues and kep for
ever green the last resting place
of their deceased Neighbors.

The Conductors picnic at Salem
was well patronized by people of
Monmouth and Independence. The
steamer Pomona was packed to the
rails, and the pleasure seekers re
ported a niort enjoyable time. The
motor took twenty or so over to
Dallas at 4:00 a. m. who took the
train from'there and spent the day
in Portland, returning at an early
hour Monday morning. The
delightful temperature of the day
aided materially in bringing out
the crowd. In Salem racing, cake
walking and other amusements
enlivened the occasion.
