From

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.

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

he had no Idea that Annla was there,
that Thornton llalna did not know

Thornton would have prevented e,

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
