Entered at the pout oflics at GranU Pat,
Oregon, aa aecond-cuvia mail matter.
THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1002.
It ! reported that Governor T.T. User
has decided to become a candidate (or
United Statea Senator, and to that end
will have his name placed on the ticked.
A recent law provide that voters may
express their choice (or United Bute
Senator's in this) manner, sud aeplrante
lor this office may place tneir names be
fore the people (or tbeir approval. Tbs
elective power still remains wholly in
the hands ol lbs momb'ri of the legisla
ture, bnt ths voice of the people strongly
expressed, would sid them vary materi
ally in making their selection. There is
ne doubt that Governor Geer will prove
a strong candidate with the people, and
the rival ac pi rams will find Ibis (actor in
the case s serious vexation to them.
Southern Oregon will undoubtedly roll
Dp a large majority for Hod. A. M. Craw
ford of Roseburir, the Republican nomi
nee (or Attorney-General ol Oregon. He
is a man who has a high standing In ths
legal profession ; a man of great ability
and uoimpeached integrity. He hae
bean oneol Southern Oregon's leading
lawyers (or about SO years, practicing
lormsrly iu Coos county, and later at
Uouburg. lis is thoroughly qualified
iu every way lor ths Important utiles lor
which he is a candidate, and If sleeted
v ill b a must excellent ulMcar. Tbs fact
that be is a southern Oregon man gives
him additional popularity and stieugtb
iu Ibis portion of the stale.
Excellence should be appreciated and
ths people ol this county will, in ths
coming election, have sn opportunity of
manifesting their appreciation ol the
excellent manner in which R. L. Mart
let! has msnagud ths affairs ol the eouii
ty clerk's offlce for tlie past (our years
His nomination (or a third term was vir
tually Inevitable in visw ol ths lact that
it was a public demand, and lha placing
ol any other man on ths ticket lor that
office by the Republican party would
have been a serious affront to popular
sentiment. Ths office ol county clerk
is one which is removed (rom political
partisanship. Ths county clerk baa di
reel dealings in the course of a term with
nearly every man In ths county and it Is
no small part of Mr. Varlletl's ofllcial ex
celleiice that he meets all with unfailing
courtesy and with obliging spirit and
willingness to glvs Intsrest and alien'
tion to all who may coins, lis manages
ths clerical duties ol theotllcs with fault
less accuracy, and has welt nlgb made
himself indispensable to Josephine conn
ty. It is doubtful il this county ever had
another officer so thoroughly satisfacto
ry aa ita nreeent and future clerk.
A government must fit its people. To
be In ita beat possible atsts ol perfection,
it must rest in the hands ol that portion
ol its people who are capable ol conduct'
Ing it. Thus we find that ignorant or
barbarous peoples are governed almost
entirely by the few, while in civilized
and enlightened nations, nearly all of
ths people participate more or leas in
tbs conduct otitis government, and, II
they are not allowed this privilege, there
is dissatisfaction, strife and turmuil until
they are permitted to share In the gov
srnmentof their country. In long'eelab-
llilied monarchies like England and
Germany, which wisely grant these prist'
legea to their people when the time is
ripe, the form of government may re
main nominally the same ; the ruler may
continue to be called kiag or emperor
and retain s rueamire ol authority, though
s limit is placsd on his powers The
French government placed Itself in the
path ol this irreaiatibls law and perished
in one of the bloodiest revolutions ol hii
lory. Kvery veitige ol government waa
swept away and had to be built up en
tirely anew, As a people progresses, so
must its government. Measures and
ideas that once were good become out el
date. New ones are always In demand
Aa government has constantly developed
and ebilled in form aince it was first in
itltuted, il la folly to suppose thst it has
ceased lo do so st lbs present time ; that
il has become stationary and will not
change, A stationary condition is
thing unknown in nature. There muat
be progress or retrogression; growth or
decay. Changes in governmental form
or conduct are beat made gradually, per-
haps imperceptibly, like a natural growth
Sudden changea are violent and demoral
ling. The nation is fortunate whose
aiateimen ran deled ths signs of the
limes and keep the machinery of gov
eminent op to the time's demand. Iu
this country, the tendency of the present
time la toward a more democratic man'
tier ol government than we hare yet had
a government more directly under the
people's control. Our peoplo are better

Hood, coroner. He teatiHcd lo haviug
actid in the capacity ol his otiice as
coioner in attending to Ihe remains Ol
richonbachlei and gelling a July's ver
dict ill llie case. He presented in his
testimony, the single barrelled muzae
loadiug shot gun that waa lounil lying
across the body of Hcbonbacheler and
also the load ol powder and shot that
waa extracted (rom the gun. Il was a
lighl charge o( powder with a small
quantity of No. 8 bird ahot. Mr. Nan
Dor 11 oue of the two eye witnesses lo the
shooting gave bis testimony, describing
the manner iu which the ellYay ap
peared lo him as be stood across the
river at the corner of his house. He
had just started into the house wilh an
arm load of wood when he heard the
shot and looking across saw Uib-1011
ith his smoking rifle and also the
prostrate form of Schonbacheler.
Klislia Krankhum, the ferryman, who
lives on the Rogue Ave miles below the
Schonbacheler larm and who was well
acquainted with both parties, leslilied
lo having heard t lis dafendant tiibson
make serious threats against the life ol
Schonbacheler. These threats Frana
hum swore he heard from the mouth of
Gibson at the laraotis "corner" in this
city.
Doctors Van Drke and Moore, were
each called in turn and their testimony
was similar In moat all respects. Thuy
pei formed tbs autopiy. They found
two bullet wounds in llie body of Schon
bacheler. The first of these was in the
head; the bi. I let having entered the
center of the forehead, and passed
directly through the brain. The entire
lop of the ekull was torn off and llie
skull cavity nearly entirely emptied of
its contents. The second bullet entered
the lleehy part of the left arm and
panning through entered the side and
takings downward course just miesed
the back wall of the lung and the heart
panning along the spine. The bullet
was extracted Irom the back where il
had lodged. 1 be last wound might not
have necessarily been fatal, but the
Hint could not do utheiwise than cautte
inrtant death.
Mrs. Schouhai'licler was called, and
the tent 1 11 limy ol the ae.l lady was ill st
toilful aa she told Ihe storv of llie
crime. She and her husband had lived
on the farm by the Simpkius runch for
four years pant. Her husband and
(iibson had iiiai ruled several times
piior to the shooting. Three or four
weeks before, (iibnon cama over cue
early in lining lailorn she had arisen
(rom bed and had a quarrel with Schon
ll .( icier ju.t outride the house. The
iti,rrel was about a call o( (iibsnn'a that
had been running in Schonhacbler'e
fl ild and he had set his dogs on il.
Uilnon to' I him that he did not want
him lo dog his cattle any more. Then
agun jiial a week belore the shooting
Uiheoii anil Schonbacheler bad quar
rs'elin the fnimrr'a orchard over tne
matter uf the division fence. Gibson
tliieitened to put Schonbacheler otil ol
the orchard, but his wile, who was
preacnt, advised him not to do so. On
the morning of the shooting Mrs Schon
bacheler saw Gibaoii go acro his field
with a gnu ou bia thouldcr, whistling
about live o'clock thai evening. Schon
bacheler came into the house and told
his wile that he believed he would take
hia gun and go out and shoo, a squirrel,
lie went out with the weapon and a
little later she saw (iibsou meet him
and cry out, "i'ut down that gun." He
raired hia rifle and tired and Schon
bacheler lell. She ran across the field
to where her bunbaud lay and found
him dead. There waa no one within a
hall mile and she did not knjw what lo
do. She first started toward Ihe home
uf Mr. Crow but ahe bad gone but a
short diatance when she saw Van lorn
acrosa the river. She turned and went
pist the Ixvly of her hilbiul the
second time toward the river Just as
hhe paised him, Gibson rm-e.r his nlU
and Hied ihe aecond shot, .isiatance

ll.i soon found thai Schonbacheler and
he could not be peaceable neighbors.
They had Ireqiient quarrelr. Schon
bacheler would est his dogs on Gibson's
aiot'k, not only driving them oil- the
farm, but ofienlimea completely out of
ihe neighborhood. Gibson went to
Schonbacheler an 1 enked him to stop
and hi i-aid he would, but instead ol
doing Ibis lie kepi on. The enmity

t ireatened his life, lie had been out
twice that morning with hia rifle, alter
coyotes. Ho went to the liver to get
bis boat, but it was tied on Schoo
bacheler's laud and he could not get it
lis called across the river to Van Dorn
11 bring his boat to him, but no one
could he aroused. He went back to his
hou-e and seeing Ihe Binoke arise from
the Van lorn home he started nvain for
the river. Ajhedid so he saw bchon
bacbeler come out of his bouse with (
gun in Ins hand. rrom the way in
which they were walking they would
meet at right angles. Gibson believed
thai he would have to kill 8chonbautie

Hthonbacheler Irom his view (or a time.
Gibhon said he could have luiued and
fled at this time, but be waa utraid that
lie would be puisued and shot down.
When they came iu view of one another
ihey were about 1-5 yards apart. Gibson
commanded Schonbacheler lo drop hia
gun, but the latter, instead ol obeying,
t irew his gun to his shoulder und took
aim, Before be could shoot, Gibson
raised Ins rifle and tired. Schonbache
