M.mic -oprright 1908 by Hart bdLutoer It Mux HAMPTON This Saturday Evening From 7 ito 9 Cottage Grove, men will probably present to the next legisla ture the proposition to form a new county, with Cottage Grove as the county seat. Business men of Cottage Grove want the help of Eugene influence, and purpose to arrange an amicable agree ment between Cottage Grove and Eugene business men. Not only is a part of Lane county wanted, but a big slice of Douglas county is coveted by the agitators. From Lano county the new division would take the Bohemia district. The boundary line would cross the Middle Fork of the Willamette, coming down- near Goshen, and then running west to the present limits of the county. Thus Blue River would still remain a part of Lane coun ty. In Douglas county that part of the Bohemia mining district which has so long been a matter of dispute between Douglas and Lane, and the Yoncalla and Drain districts and western part of Douglas are desired. By this division Gardiner would be includ ed in the new county. The people who have dicsussed the new move believe that a division is inevitable, if not during the coming year at loast in less than four years. They think that both the people at Rose burg and here in Eugene would readily give up a part of their counties to them. The only difficulty they soem to apprehend is the location of the new boundaries. Rather than fight for the division, as the people of Hood River did, they wish to conciliate both Douglas and Lano county people, and for that matter have broached the matter to a num bur of Eugene people. With the help of the representatives of Lano oounty and Douglas county they think the division can easily be made in the next legislature, and that there will be no need to attempt the Initiative. The great betterment that is expected is in the administra tion of the district affeoted. It is said that with a smaller execu tive district much better roads would be built in all three distriots and that greater attention would be paid to the vital Interests of the distict. The name for the new 'county has not yet been decided upon, but in case such a ne wunlt is formed it would probably be Bohemia. CANJE guilty Judge Crane Says Man Does Not Have to Actually Kill to Be Guilty in First Degree Flushing, Pec. The case ot the state AKHlnst Thornton 1 1 n 1 11 a dosed today after a brief examina tion of two witnesses, ln the open ing for the defense Joseph Shay churned that the evidence of the state horo a semblance of fulshnod. Invention and manufacture. He aald the defense shows that Thornton llalna had nettling to do with the death of Annla. that Thornton llalna had no thought of death of the An ilines when ho went to llayalde, that he had no Idea that Annla was there, that Thornton llalna did not know his brother hud a revolver, that Thornton would have prevented e, meeting between Thornton' brother and Annla If he could, that Captnln Peter V. llalna was mentally unbal anced and would allow rauses which created thnt oondltlon of mind. Mr. Young, counsel tor the defense, asked the dismissal ot the Indictment against Mains, it waa denied. Mr. Young proceeded ln the argument taking the point that a person charg ed with being an accessory to the crime could not be tried until It was proved that the principal was guilty. Judge Crane Interrupted him - by saying; "Hlght there 1 disagree with you. I hold that this man may be guilty of murder In the rat degree as a proposition of law, although a man who held the revolver aud fired the shot was not guilty ot murder and was not Insane. I am going to hold that a man may be guilty of murder committed by a lunatlo If he aided and encouraged It knowingly and Intentionally, knowing the act and Its consequence, ln my opinion a man who Is present at the commis sion of a crime and nlds and abetta It Is not even an accessory under common law, but a principal."
