Others present were H W Baugl.miiu, contestant and his at torneys, L llilyeu and II I) Norton, and the contestee, H 1) Edwards and his attorneys, AC Woodcock, J M Williams and C A Hardy. A tew spectators were present at today's ses sion, whic'i resulted mainly in the hearing of motions. As the case now stands a motion was first argued by U D Edwaids through his attorneys to nun-suit the case. It was overruled by Judge Hamilton. Defendant was then granted per mission to file u (It nun nr, and after hearing argumeut of counsel, same was sustained. Plaintiff uiovid court for time to file amended complaint, which being granted adjournment was had until 7 o'clock Ibis evening. The general cause of contest Is famil to nil. In the June election the count of ballots showed Edwards to have a majority of one vote over Buughmuu for the uillco of county commissioner. Pl'iintiff Buugbmuii alleges that error were made to t lie extent that a recount of ballots would show that ho Bsugh- mun, Is entitled to the cilice. Edwards at the proper time, took his oatli of of fice, and awaits tho development of the present suit. ALV.V PliiU JlL'sT UO. To Jluko a Place for Tom Tongue's 111 oilier in-law, Men iimwi. Pouti.a.nd, July 19. It is generally credited here that John I) Mcrriman of Washington coun'y, is to bo chief dep uty collector of customs under Collec tor Patterson, displacing Mr L A Pike, whose retention lias been requested by all the leading importers of Portland, and whose knowledge of the office work of the customs service is mieqirilled, Mr Merriiium's pull consists in being a brother-Ill law of Congressman Thos. Tongue and repolism seems to ba the order of the day with the entire Oregon delegation, all of whom have provided for hungry relation.- at Unclu Sam's crib. Mr Men iiuan was, several years ago, collector of customs at Astoria. t'liiuu no h Kurprlhu to II nil. I'he mystery that has apparently surrounded the ru'urii of Claude Bian- tou to Lane county and his motive for so doing may in a way be explained by further conversations held between him and the ofllcers. Deputy Sherilf Day informed a GUAM) reporter today that they were ill possession of evidence which en abled them to say authoritatively that Claude lirauton told the truth when he said tliat be had been in Top ka, Kansas. This makes it patent tliat limutou felt secure when ho stepped fiom the traiu in this city aud walked with a firm step the streets of Eugene. Be fore leavh g Courtnoy Green lie had made such threats to enforce secrecy that apparently no thought had crossed his miud that Green would reveal tho crime to the ofllcers. It was from young Herbert Finn that Uruutoii first learned of Green's arrest, and the fact that n reward of $250 was hanging over Ills own head. Then it was tliat he began to get ap prehensive aud wanted to get out of town. When he left Finn on Eighth street near the IS:ipt 1st church it was to rapidly Increase his gait in the effort to get out of town a id Deputy Slier if! Day nn nearly a block in his attempt to gain on lirauton. When Finn told Branton tf walk with him to tho court house and give himself up to the olllcers so that ho, Finn, might secure the reward, Branton replied, "Wait until I get out of town and you can have the roward," implying that it he could ence get away and in a position to protect himself it would boa hard mutter to place him In custody, lirauton and Green are confined in cells at opposite sides of the jail, bo that conversation between them will be lather liml ed aud difficult to lu dulgo iu. At present tho timo of preliminary examination rests entirely with Ho defense. As District Attorney Brow i. is very desirous .f being present, hav ing came down this morning solely for that purpose, it will either be held to morrow or postponed until Monday August 1. Mr lirown leaves in a day or two to attend circuit court in Lin coln couuty and will not return until then. A O U II. NOW IN FULL BLAST.

G W Slayton, of Prlnevllle, who spent (he last two years at Johannes burg, South Africa, has leturned to Oregon, quite well satisfied that Ameri ca Is a good country In which to live. Air Slayton was attracted to Africa by the allurements of the gold fields, and says for big investments and gigantic schemes that country Is all right, though when he left there last May business was quite dull, the bottom having dropped out of the boom, and transactions had settled down to a nr r mal state. Mr Slayton states that American products, such as Hour, lumber and Borne coarse grades of goods, are prom! neut iu Johannesburg markets, and considerable American machinery Is sold In the African mining districts. There Is, he says, a general belief in Africa that Pnciflo coast fruits, arc in ferior, and ihus we are deprived of a good trade In that Hue that could be secured If shippers would exoiclse more care in packing.

What will Lane Couuty Pay in the Coininissioueislilp Suit. Some speculation has been Indulged in as to what the commlssionersblp contest case will cost Lane county. There are 44 precincts iu Lane coun ty. From each of these voting places, a clerk or a judge, perhaps both, will havo to appear to testify whether the the ballots have been securely kept. As the distances of the vartoUB pre cincts from Eugene averages at least 20 miles, and several days must of neces- ity be consumed In taking testimony, it will bo seen that the witness fees and mileage count up rapidly. Wo learu that the contestant Is wil ling to stipulate that the ballots be counted without calling the witnesses. Couflrmed by the P I. From tho Seattle P I: The Post-In telligencer presents this morning the last picture of "Soapy" Smith, tho uncrowned king of Skagway," who was shot and killed by Frank Reld, July 8, on tho wharf at Skagway, while eudeuvoriug to break up a citi zens' indignation meeting. It Is a remarkable thing, yet Just what one would expect of "Soapy," that he died a poor man, notwith- s tandiug the enormous sums of money ho made. At the height of the Sksg wuy boom there Is little doubt that he made from $200 to $250 a day. When tho committee of "101" wub running tlie bunco men out of Skagway last March nnd poBlcd notices warning grafters of somethlug to happen, Soapy" walked through the town pulling down the signs and saying. "I am the uncrowned king of Skagway, and they can't drive me away." Smith's people, excepting his wife, live at Bolton, Texas. Sporting men admit tliat Frund Reld, city surveyor of Skagway' did a good Job when he killed Smith, yet they also say that It remains a fact Hint Smith was the most popular man In AlaBka. Reld recently lived at Whatcom, Wash. Ho came originally from Sweet Homo, Oregon, where his family la well known. In 1870 Reld had trouble over domestic affairs with James Simon, It was claimed that Simon threatened to kill Reld. Th two men met ono day. Trouble followed and Reld tbot Simon dead. After a long triul he was acquitted oi the ground of self-defense. Reduction Kate.
