"ilisapprehensions seem to be fre

public .statement.
"First of all Albany CoIIckc has

Miss lirock, the cause of the
shooting, was the next witness called.
She testified she had Kone with Ack
erman occasionally for two years, but
denied that she was ennat?el to lllni.
She said she was compelled to ignore
him because of his persistent efforts
and threats. She asserted that he had
threatened her willi bodily harm.

The Road Supervisors of Linn
county for the year 1914 will be elect
ed by the people.
Counlv fudge McKnight announc
ed today that the county court had
agreed on this plan of selecting su
pervisors. Inasmuch as the law re
quires that the county court shall ap
point supervisors they cannot be elect
ed directly by the popular vote hut
the court will call a meeting ill each
district of the county at which all of
the voters can gather and express
their choice for supervisor in the
manner as school meetings are held
and tile man receiving the mapori'.y
of votes at the meeting in each road
district will be appointed supervisor
of that district by the court.
The primary purpose of this plan,
the judge said, is to create more har
mony and unity of action in the var
um mad districts to encourage vol
lor it.
Cyrus Arnold asserted on the wit
ness stand that Ackerman had said
that he would shoot Xicewood the
first time he saw him with Miss
Hrock. licit h Miss Hrock and N'ice-
w I testified that they were afraid
of Aekeruian.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Kel
ly said that tile defendant should be
thankful that he was nut charged with
murder in the first degree, lie said,
however, that it was one of the clos

where there has been a bitter contest
of the road suprvisorship, the people
of such districts have not worked to
gether harmoniously for road im
provements and they believe that
when supervisors arc chosen in open
election, where all voters will have a
chance lo express their preference, it
will tend to promote more harmony
and united effort in road building.
