THE EUGENE WEEKLY GUARD EUGENE, OKI GON, THURSDAY, JULY 18. I907 STATE CLOò MILKMAN SHOT FROM AMBUSH ON PORTLAND ROAD REBUTTAL TESTIFIES Boise, July 17.—O. M. Cackett, of Telluride. Colo., for fifteen years an employe of the Smuggler mine, was the first witness today in the Hay wood case, and stated that during the trouble in 1901 he and several other employes were compelled to run through a perfect hail of bullets to get to the mine. The witness nego tiated with Vincent St. John, presi dent of the union at Telluride, and reached an agreement that the firing should be stopped. Here Attorney Hawley’s questions brought forth a protest from the defense, which was sustained by the court, who said he doubted the materiality of the evi dence. The witness, however, was allowed to state that as a result of the negotiations he had with St. John an agreement between Edgar A. Col lins, assistant manager of the mine, and St .John, of the union, was drawn up and signed. The agreement was admitted as evidence over the objec tion of the defense, and it proved to be probably one of the most interest ing and important exhibits of the tri al. It is dated July 3, 1901. and in it the miners' union agreed to refrain from violence for three days, during which period all work was to cease. The witness then told of the killing of Arthur Collins and the disappear ance of several miners. The witness said the men were afraid to go to work, that many were shot on the way to the mines, and because of these conditions the troops were utilizen. On cross-examination Sackett said the trouble in 1901 laste donl.v three days, and then the agreement went into effect and the trouble was set tled. That there was a sort of armed neutrality until 1903. He did not NAVAL OFFICERS WHOLLY IGNORED I Washington, July 16.—There is se rious friction between the high naval officers.

Keeney Informs the Guard that he has decided to double the assessment on the Southern Pa cific Company's congressional land in this county this year. Last year ft was assessed on an average of 14 an acre, and this year the average will be $8. Some of the land the company owns tn the county Is abso lutely worthless, while some of it is great deal more valuable than 88 an acre, but the assessor concluded the latter figure would be a good aver age The assessment on the roadbed of the company's main line will also be advanced, and the total for the road bed and ro’llng stock will be 819.000 per mile this year instead of 11 8.000. as laat year. He asses,, ,1 the rolling stock last year at 82000 per mile and the road bed at 817,000, making the total 819.000, but the board of equal isation cut the assessment on the rolling stock down to 81000, making a total of 31000 less than the asses sor did. Nineteen thousand dollars a mile is what the road is assessed at in Douglas, Linn and other counties In Western Oregon, as agreed upon at an assessors’ convention a year ago. and Assessor Keeney Intends to abide by the agreement made at that time. The assessor is now going through the mortgage records of the county and has discovered that the county is losing a good many thousand dollars In tax money by property owners not giving in the credits of mortgages as required by law.- He Intends to as sess all these credits this year, there by adding a good sum to the tax col lections. ♦ San Francisco, July 17.—In the' ♦ Oakland.

John Krause, assistant to Halsey, was the first witness. He had a poor memory. The only admission secur ed from him was that he saw Mayor Boxton In Halsey's office a number of times. Miss Ryan's memory was equally bad. Heney could get nothing from her to prove that Glass ordered Hal sey to bribe the supervisors. She ad mitted that many of the supervcsors frequently visited Halsey. Salem, Or., July 16.j—Chief Jus tice Bean today reversed the decis ion of Judge Galloway in the case of H. M.
