MRS. BERTHA LAMB
FOUND NOT GUILTY
(Prom "Wednesday's Daily.)
Tho Jury empayolled to try Mrs.
Bertha Lamb on a chnrgo of murder
for having killed her husband, H. O.
Lamb, nt Paisley February 2G, last
Friday night rendered a verdict of
aeoulttnl, after having been out but
a few hours, says tho Lako County
Examiner, Tho prosecution was
conducted by T. S. McKlnney, L. H.
Webster and C. H. Combs, whllo S. A.
Jctmoro conducted tho defonso.
Uoth tho defenso and prosecution
wcro ably represented, nlthough tho
prosecution was unablo to refute the
'testimony of tho defonso. Tho ac
count given by Mrs. Lamb while on
tho witness stand of tho many mis
deeds and acts of tho deceased prior
to tho killing evldontly Impressed
,tho Jury, and a verdict' was quickly
reached. ' -
Mrs. Lamb atated that she and her
husband had numerous quarrels
after their marriage, and at uo tlmo
'did ho treat her with duo respect. At
ono tlmo ho struck her with a stick
on tlio head, and tho services ot a
physician wero required to dress thu
wound. Numerous gun plays wero
also a part ot their married life, and
when sho fired tho fatal shot ho was
advancing upon her with a stick In
his hand, threatening her with bodily
Injury.
Tho caso has attracted wldo at
tention becauso of tho prominence ot
Mr. Lamb, as well as tho notoriety
which Mrs. Lamb achieved during
her rcsldcnco In this valley.
SPENCE IDOL OF
STATE GRANGE
(Continued from Pago .1.)
And thero Is also no question that
qulto a number ot tho grangers who
Toted against linking up with tho
league aro nevertheless somewhat In
' lovo with It and voted against tho
endorsement as they believed it
would be an unwise move for tho
grange t becomo .affiliated with any
political organization at this time.
i Tho upshot ot tho matter Is that
the leagua has lost tho grange, it
vhas lost tho Farmers' union and a
number ot other farmers' organiza
tions, but it still has Spence. Our
guess Is that Spence, with a new
created salary of 1,200 buck per
annum, and $1,500 for expenses,
will now proceed to gumshoe over
the state spreading Non-Partisan
league talk, while ho also works In
the interests ot the grange. He also
will spread Walter Pierce-for-Gov-crnor
talk and leave a trail ot 1t
behind him as he goes.
lMerco Out for League.
Walter is going to like the Non
Partisan league, because ho has a
hunch that the league will amount
to something in this state. If it
amounts to something it will have
rotes, and if there Is any ono thing
that Walter Is going to dearly lovo
this summer and next fall, it will be
votes, and then more votes.
Kionco Not a BOob.
Walter and Spence, it may ho
safely opined, will work gladly and
gleefully together in the righteous
causo of putting over Walter and the
Non-Partisan league. And lest any
one should bo misled let It be known
right now that C. E. Spence Is not
a boob by long odds. He sometimes
has dust on his boots, and possibly
his ncktio might appear spavined on
occasions, but said C. E, Spenco is
one of tho smoothest little actors in
Oregon when It comes to slicing' up
tho bacon. He has a seductive lino
of talk which keeps the grangers
panting to do something for him and
underneath it all, in Justice to
dined to bollovo that tho mora tho
government owns tho bettor off aro
the pooplo. Ho also Is always on tho
Job and Charley-on-the-spot whon It
comes to Spenco or tho grange, and
generally tho grange can't bo particu
larly blamed for hanging onto him,
Tho grange probably overestimates
its own strength throughout the state
a trillo, and porhnps takes itself u
littlo. too 8or!ously. Hut on tho
wholo It does accomplish something
every onco In a while and Spenco has
none some tall hustling tor It and
Spenco.
League Xot MonM
Hut the Non-Partisan leaguo Is
probably no very serious meuaco In
Oregon. Oregon has about every
thing that tho lenguo could oft or In
tho way of progrosslvo legislation
nnd the machinery to sccuro anything
else tho pooplo wish. So why tho
loaguo? That question was aBkcd
many times by tho grangers who
voted against tho league endorse
ment, but still havo considerable
sympathy with tho leaguo movement.
Chinnock Resigns.
James T. Chinnock, water division
superintendent tor this sldo ot tho
mountains, has quit his Job to start
practicing law at Grants Pass. His
resignation becomes offectlvo Juno
15. Tho resignation Is Interesting in
Central Oregon from tho fact thai ho
will bo succeeded by Percy A. Cupper,
assistant stato engineer and secretary
ot tho desert land board. Cupper
was the nominee to succeed Chin
nock, and as a result Governor
Wlthycombo will appoint him to tho
Job. Tho secretary of tho desert
land board is quite Intimately asso
ciated with business affairs on tho
Central Oregon project. Who his
successor will bo Is a question for
tlmo to decide.
It should seem logical that tho
heavy tapping which bank deposits
havo received from large Liberty
loans would causo a dropping off In
that direction, but a bank statement
recently prepared by Superintendent
of Banks Dennett shows that during
tho past year the deposits throughout
Oregon havo Increased woll over
$25,000,000. Why this is so is a
problom for financiers to solvo not
newspapermen. It's a cinch Jho lat
ter class of citizens havo not had
much to do with tho aforesaid in
crease. Speaking about tho superintend
ent ot banks, that is another offlco
which may suffer with Hoff's star
In tho ascendency for tho state trcas-
urcship. A small bit ot historical
bunk in that regard might not be
without Interest. It will bo remem
bered that when Superintendent of
Danks Sargent resigned several
months ago, Secretary Olcott stood
out for tho appointment of Charles
Stewart, a Democrat, on the recom
mendation of Sargent. Stato Treas
urer Kay stood for Dennett. Gov
ernor Wlthycombo expressed him
self as favoring an unnamed party,
but voted with Kay to keep harmony
on tho board.
Since that time, so hitherto un
written history records, a bright
young man came up to Salom from
Albany Imbued with the Idea of be
coming a stato bank examiner under
Dennett, Evcryono else who had
anything to do with it was Imbued
with the same Idea and the deal was
about settled until, as report goes,
Dennett suggested casually that It
would be a nlco thing to support
Ryan for tho treasureshlp. Ed. i
Cuslck, who was a candidate for
stato treasurer, Is an Albany banker,
and when tho suggestion was offored
to tho young man, ho returned to
Albany in a huff and refused to ac
cept tho place. Xow that is the story
as It is told. Whether it Is truo or
not has no bearing on tho situation
now In hand. Tho story has no
doubt reached the car of Nominee

Ryan's defeat, In fact, will prac
tically clean out tho Kay Intluonco
In tho stato capttol. No ono believes
that Kay has given up tho idoa of
politics for good. Ho loves it like
a kid loves Ico cream soda.
No ono can convince Kny that if
ho had been a candldato against
Wlthycombo In 1913 that ho (Kay)
would havo been dofeatcd. Ho feels
It in his bones that ho could have

Hut oven at that Kay will uo doubt

no danger, at least, of his forgetting

ot tho treasurer's light this tlmu be
cause tho constitution confines a
candldato for that offlco to but two
cousocutlvo terms. Kay's strength
Is still largely problematical, but
that ho has a heavy following still
sooms to bo without doubt. That ho
probably has lost considerable of his
strength of four or live years ago
seems equally certain. Hut with or
