The judge al lowed the motion, whereupon the defendant was given his fretsloui. The facts p-iiui'iis, though, that there was a foul murder committed by some one unknown.

Ill Mllltlioliiah county resides Joseph Howell, botanisf, who pcrliaps is Is-tter known in Furope than in his owiuotintrv, while here in llillshoro is Dr. O. O. lingers, geologi-t. It is true, the American geologist gives the doctors residence to I hirchester, Massachusetts, but we of Oregon won't concede the claim. All of these men are ipm-tly and moiiili-stly working in the intere-ts of their several chosen lines of investigation. From Saleni'pacrs it is learned that Mr. P.. II. Flagg, formerly of this city, had both bones of his right forearm broken at Salem last Mon day morning. lb- was adjusting some of the parts about a cylinder printing-press, when the belt was accidentally shifted from the lon-c pulley to the tight one, thus setting the machinery in motion. His arm was thus broken before it could be withdrawn from barm's way. Mr. Flairi? is iiluckv though, for in the afternoon he was on the street at tending to some details belonging to the publication of the Daily iH'ino crat, tlii1 first numlierof which was isMicd on Monday morning. Among those who attendisl the trial of the case of the State of Oregon against I'M win Schmelt.er, for the killing of ('. Muiison, a good deal of Interest is manifested to know who is the correspondent of the Oregonian that reported the trial. It is gener ally thought, that the correspondent drew very largely from his imagina tion for the purpose of doing a little advertising in favor of at least one person, acting in a subordinate posi tion., I f this heralding is proper at all it should be in the Interest of others who took a more active and responsi .hle part in the trial. A well attended meeting of veteran soldiers of Washington county was held in Forest O rove, on WedniNilay last. A plan of organization was adopted, by which all veteran soldiers, whether of the Mexican war, any of the Indian wars or of the great rcla-Hion, may be admitted to membership. Two encampments for the year has been provided lor, one in llillshoro on May :!rd, next and another In September at a place not yet named. At these encampments illl veteran soldiers are to Is- wel comed, and the first meeting here, in May next, is to Is- made the occasion of a grand rally. The fifth and sixth sections of llan croft's "Hook of the Fair" h is been received. The superior excellence of the earlier niimlsTs is maintained in these later ones. In this connec tion it may be proper to state that there is an opportunity for a few moiv competent persons to canvass for the sus'rb book and We know of no more praiseworthy or profitable occupation.

Judge Mcllride of the circuit court has rendered a division on the ques tions at Issue iu the case of the Will amette lUsil Kstate company v. II. II. llendrlx. The following, though not verbatim, Is a substantial rejKirt of Judge Mcltride's oral opinion in the case: This Is a suit brought by the Willamette Heal F.state company against II. II. llendrlx to quiet title to certain real proerty, consisting of town lots in the town of Cornelius. Plaintiff claims title through certain sheriff sales un two Judgments, one a confessed ludgment in the county court of Washington county In a matter entlthsl W. T. Xewby, plain tiff, v. H. H. llendrlx, defendant, rendered June 7, 1800, and one en titled J. M. Oilmore v. II. II. Hen drix, rendered In thedlstrlct court for Washington county, at a somewhat later date. "Plaintiff shows a regular line of conveyances from the purchasers un der these sheriff snles to W. L. Hal soy and from W. L. Halsey to plain tiff. Plaintiff also claims through adverse poMsession of itself and its grantors from the date of the sheriff sales before mentioned. "The first question then to be dis posed of is that of the regularity of plaintiff's paper title, and this, of course, depends on the validity of the judgments of Xewby and Mllmore. The Newby confession of Judgment Is as follows: In the County Court of the State of Oregon for Washington county. nr ttn l v v . i . .cw oy Confession of Judg v. II.H.IIendrlx ) ment. "I, II. 11. llendrlx, the defendant above named, herehy confess myself In debtetl to W. T. Xewby, of Yam hill county. Oregon, In the sum of UIO.OO, due upon a written contract for the payment of money only; and I hereby further state that said sum of ItflO.'oO Is Justly due the said plain tiff and authorize a Judgment lo be entered against mo for said sum of $310.00. Signed, H. H. HF.XDRIX. "This confession-is duly verified. "Our supreme court hits held that statement that the 'indebtedness anse out of a promUsory note,' was not a sufficient compliance witn me statute in force at the time, w hich re quired that the confession should slate concisely the fact out of which it arose, and should show that tne urn confessed was due or to lavome due. "In my opinion the confession in this ca f-ilis short of the statutory requirement. It state that It 'arise out of a written contract,' but does not state the conditions of the contract or the substance of it or when it was payable or any fact whatever, out merely states legal conclusion. Far ther, even if the confession were r.-g-ular in form, I do not think that the statute in force at the time authoriwsl a ronfi!.liin of iudgmeiit in the county court. .When the statute was nnsNftl. auihoriiing conftswion of judgment, the district court was the only court authorized io urne conic. aions of ludgment. fsiibsiuently, after the State was admitted Into the t'ulon, an act was pa!, giving county courts limited civil Jurlsdie. Hon, but this only authorized the n to try actions, not to rentier Judgment in controversies where there was no action. The Jurisdiction in the last mentioned proceedings being k ft where It was eipressly lixlged, namely, In the circuit courts, the r-ae-cMors to tba territorial district courts.

'' tract in i-ontroversy for more than ten years, and that, admitting that defendant has the legal title, ids claim to the property is barred by statute of limitations. There can be no constructive adverse ss.ses.sion of property without actual possession of somo part of it. "The testimony shows that Mrs. Snelling had some portion of the tract Iu controversy enclosed, and that she cultivated it for from three to four yars; that when Halsey bought It, he laid oil' and platted the town of Cornelius upon this and ad joining projs'rty, tore down the leiices around this projierty and lett it oven and that he has not enclosed or cultivated it fro-.n the time he tore down the fences, or exercised any dominion over it, except to pay up the taxes on this pros-rty in con nirtinil witli (he balance of the laud and to sell it to plaintiff, and that the only dominion that plaintiff ever excrcisisl over it was to pay up the taxes and authorize an agent from time to time to sell lots iu Cornelius of which this property was a part, and that iu fact two small tracts have been sold and are under ferns- and occupiisi by grantees of plaintiff, and these two tracts are not Involved iu this controversy. "Paying taxes on open unfcnis-tl land will not establish an adverse claim, neither w ill offering it for sale have such an effect. " The pi ms 's-.ii in to have bis-n ad verse must have hisu actual and so continuous thai there must have Iss-n no period however short, with in 10 years iu which lleudrix could not have maintained an action of ejectment agiinst plaintiff and it grantors. "Only while Mrs. Snelling occu pied the land which was far short of 10 years, could lleudrix have main tained ejectment. Fvcr since then It has bis-n lying open lo the public, unfeucisl and uncultivated com mons, w ith no visible marks or sign that anybody occupied, pnsissed or used it. "The pos-ssioii of mifcnccd anil uncultivated laud is in 'the true owner, ami possession anil occupation of a single town hit or block is not constructive possession of adjoining lots or bl H-ks not enclosed; this doc trine is established beyond contro versy, and by an unbroken line of divisions. Adverse possession to rien into title must be actual, omu, notorious and hostile and must so continue for a periisl of lo consecutive years. In the language of our supreme court, "he must unfurl his flag on the land an 1 keep it flying so that the owner may siv If lie will, that an enemy has invaded his domain and planted the standard of con quest." Having failed in actual possession the constructive possession of these un feucisl ami unoccupied tracts was in llendrlx, the true owner. "It may seem a hardship that plaintiff, after having paid taxes on this land for so many years, should now lose it, but the law is inexorable, and if plaintiff fa i lei I to establish an adverse possession by enclosing or otherwise occupying the land, such failure is not the fault of the law and the court cannot bend tho law or override it in order to meet the sup posed hardship of a particular case. , "The defend int will have a decree as prayed for In his answer."
