A story of a lost heir being found and finally coming into his own after many years has developed here by the appearance of Oscar Lcyerly of Dav enport, la., who is one of the heirs of air estate in this county. Oscar Lcyerly was a son of Oliver G. Lcyerly and was born in Illinois iit 1807. At the age of seventeen he went with his father on a trip to St. I .ouis. The father was compelled to leave St. Louis for another point for it short lime. During his father's absence the mjh disappeared and it was several years before he was ever heard of. lie never returned to the home of his parents, and finally all trace' of him was lost. The estate was administered by Judge C. C. Ridings of Caldwell and in the final settlement, Oscar Leyer ly's Hharc was paid into the county treasury of this county, with the un derstanding that if at any time the missing heir or his representative should appear the money was to be paitt. Prior to the final settlement of the estate, however, an application was tiled in the Summer county probate court to have an administrator ap pointed to the estate of Oscar T.cycr ly,2 the allegation being made that the man was dead, An adtni:ii.lr-itor was appointed, but Judge Ridings resisted the administratorship of the effects in this county, but some prop erty in Harper county was sold and the money divided among the other heirs of Oscar Leyerly's father, as if Oscar Loverly were dead. The money due Oscar Leyerly from the Summer county part of the estate, however, remained with the treasurer of this county to await a claimant. During his twenty-eight years' ab sence, Oscar Leyerlv had "roamed ill over the 1 United States and finally settled at Davenport, where he now is in business and has a fanulv. About a month ago a number of picture post-cards were given to Leyerly's twelve-vciir-old son. and the bov sent one of these cards to his father's relatives here. Ridincs was apprised of the whereabouts of Ley erly. and he notified the Iowa man of the money that was waiting him in this county. Recently I.cvcrlv arrived in Cald well, and n few days later he and Ridings appeared before the county commissioners at Wellington, and up on the proper showing being made in probate court. $41X1 was paid over to the long sought for heir. l eyerlv returned to Caldwell and alter a short visit with his relatives, returned to his home in Iowa. Another Speed Maniac. Salt Lake City's C hief of the fire department may he indieted for manslaughter because his au Joinohile killed a little irl last Thursday. A coroner's jury has found that the accident was caus ed liy reckless drivinr; without proper regard for human life. The jury, after carefully considering the evidence, also found that the fill's death was "avoidable and without justifiable reason." ltut chief interest in the verdict lies in the fact that the jitrv placed blame upon 1'iie Chief W! II. I!y water, rather than upon the young man who was actuallv driving the machine under the chief's direc tion. The county attorney is con sidering filing a charge of man slaughter against the lire chief.--Portland loiitn.il. 'Thou Shalt Not Steal." le following is reprinted from the Oregon Messenger and con .niiis more than a grain of truth: "Some Oregon editors and we suppose some in other states have a habit of boldly 'lifting' ar ticles from other papers without giving credit. This is an old trick oi scores of men in the newspa per business, and up to date there hasn't been found any way to pre vent it. Some editors are afraid that if they copy an article from another paper and give credit, it detracts from their importance, hence they would rather steal it bodily. Then, too, it is so much easier to steal the products of oth er men's brains than for some ed itors we might mention to use their own granting they have any. As there isn't any law against this literary piracy we suppose it will continue. In the meantime we advise respectable newspapers to publish the name of every editor found guilty of clipping without giving credit and then cutting him off the ex change list. While this method might not be wholly effective it would at least be humiliating to any one who has not lost all sense of honor. I ry it. According to the records in the office of the secretary of state, there are J, 1,500 motor vehicles registered in Oregon. Here is a chance for some wise man to fig ure out just how much money has been sent out of the state for the purpose of buying pleasure for Oregonians. The Calloway Decision. A recent decision of Judge Gal loway has been made the subject of considerable adverse comment by a number of Oregon newspa pers. It seems that in passing upon the legality of the special referen dum election ordered by the state legislature, Judge Galloway de clared the proposed election un constitutional. The Democrat does not pose as an authority on legal questions and therefore will neither concur or dissent from the decision ren dered in the superior court. Neither will we here discuss the merits or demerits of the ques tions which the legislature pro poses to submit to the people. We leave the first question to the supreme court and the second to the people of Oregon. Otic thing, however, mav be said in favor of Judge Galloway's decision. If the supreme court upholds his view of the matter, I -inn county will be approximate ly $4,000.00 better off at the cn.i of the present year. Other coun ties would doubtless lose a simi lar amount in the event that it becomes necessary to meet the expense of holding a special elec tion. Clarke is Appointed.

' j PJDNEERS TO BUY II Linn County Association Has Had Annual Meetings Since 1888. NEXT GATHERING WILL BE HELD JUNE 18-20 Will Be the Largest and Most Enthusiastic Session . Ever Held. During the twenty-fifth annual re union of the Linn county pioneers' association, to be held at Brownsville June 18, 19 and 20, an effort will be made by the association to raise mon ey for the purpose of buying the grounds on which the picnic is held. Money will be raised uy means of selling souvenir buttons suggestive of the picnic and the proceeds will all go into the general fund for the purchase of the grounds, which in years gone by have been loaned to the association by the owner, a prominent pioneer, O. P. Coshow. Special committees will be appointed to canvass the mem bers oi the association and others who are interested in efforts to sell the buttons, which will be of pretty de sign. They will sell at a nominal cost. The pioneers' picnic originated on the banks of the Calavooia near Crawfordsville 26 years ago, at an in- tormal picnic held by some ot the Linn county pioneers. A year later a permanent organization was effected, June, 1888. Jn 1894 the Native Sons and Daugh ters were organized, and Friday of each year was set apart for their pro gram. brom a very humble bemnmnsr the Linn county pioneers' picnic has risen to an event that is looked forward to by old settlers in this and surround ing counties. BV these tacts It is believed gener ally that no trouble will be encoun tered in disposing of the buttons and in rrising the necessary funds for the purclui.e of the grounds. By acquir ing the grounds it can ecsily be seen that the Linn County Pioneers' Asso ciation will forever remain an organ- -ized body to the memory and interest oi the old pioneers. The coming assembly, according to the present plans, will be the largest and most enthusiastic meeting e-yer held by the association and it is be lieved that unprecedented crowds from all over the country as well as from other sections of the valley will attend the three days' event. A splen did array of speakers have been se cured and many features will appear on the program. Among the speakers scheduled are Mrs. Eliza Spaulding Warren, the first white girl born west of the Rocky mountains, and one of the few surviv ors of the Whitman massacre; C. E. Spence, master of the State grange; J. v. miner or monmoutn; Dr. Wil liam Parsons of Eugene, C. N. Me Arthur and S. B. Huston. With these and the carnival attractions and ball games, a very large crowd is expected. The Southern Pacific is offering rates of one and one-third. Dr. Withycomb, of Corvallis passed through the city yesterday for Port land on a brief business errand. He will attend the rose festival and will return Saturday. 'j EXECUTOR'S NOTICE.
