BY GRAND JURY
Lebanon Man Found Guilty of
Giving Young Girls Liquor
and Cigarettes.
COURT GRANTS DEFENDANT
UNTIL MORNING TO PLEAD
Investigators Also Returned Six
Not True Bills When they
Reported Saturday.
The grand jury which convened in
this city early last week reported
Saturday evening, having completed
their investigations. The only por
tion of their findings made public to
day were three indictments which
were found against W. J. Hauser of
Lebanon and one indictment against
II. VV. Trizay.
The first indictment against Hauser
charged him with giving a cigarette
to Gladys Harlan, a Lebanon girl un
der sixteen years of age, and the sec
ond one was for giving a cigarette to
Vcrda Haines of Lebanon, also under
16 years of age. In addition to these
two indictments, the grand jury also
returned an indictment against Haus
er for giving Gladys Harlan a pint
bottle of beer during the month of
August.
Hauser was brought into court this
morning and the indictments read to
him. On motion of his attorney, C.
I. Sox of this city, lie was given until
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock to
plead.
11. VV. Trizay, who has been con
fined in the county jail for the past
two mouths, was also brought into
court this morning and the indictment
charging him with larceny from a
dwelling was read. He waived ex
amination and was allowed to plead
guilty to simple larceny. He was
sentenced by Judge Kelly to serve a
month in the county jail and com
menced his sentence this morning.
He was arrested last July for stealing
a purse containing $6.50 from the res
idence of his employer, C. VV. Haines
of llarrisburg.
The grand jury returned the fol
lowing "not true" bills: State of

HOTELMAN BRINGS HOME
GAME FROM MOUNTAINS
George Van Dran and C.R. Curry
Succeed in Killing Two Deer
Apiece Last Week.
George Van Dran, one of the genial
proprietors of the Van Dran hotel,
and C. R. Curry of Nashville, re
turned home yesterday morning from
Southern Oregon where they spent
the past ten days hunting in the
mountains out from Riddles. They
report a fine trip and each of them
succeeded in killing two large bucks.
One of the deer killed by Mr. Van
Dran was an unusually fine specimen
and the head will be mounted to adorn
the wall in the office of the hostelry.
Van Dran informed the Democrat
representative this morning that he
didn't need any ammunition to kill
deer and he is evidently correct in
his assertion for he brought home the
game despite the fact that he left his
ammunition behind him when he went
away last week.
Messrs. Van Dran and Curry were
accompanied home by L. D. Nash of
Nashville, Oregon, who has been in
Southern Oregon buying some thor
oughbred cattle for his ranch.
HE CROSSED THE PLAINS
WITH AN OX TEAM IN 1845
J. Fred McCoy, a former resident

his brother, Mr. A. R. McCoy of this
city.
Mr. McCoy crossed the plains with
an ox team in the year 1845 and locat
e din Linn county in 1846. He left
here in 1890 and located in Spokane
where he has remained since his de
parture from Oregon.

WILLIAM G, EAST, CASHIER OF SALEM
I
H. Roberts, One of the Directors of the Institution and M.
Mueller, a Plumber, Are Also Seriously Injured Ex
plosion Attracts Huge Throng of People to the Scene and
Ambulances Reach the Building with Difficulty.
TUESDAY
Salem, Ore., Oct. 29. (Special to
the Democrat.) The residents of Sa
lem employed in the heart of the busi
ness section were thrown into a panic
shortly after noon today by an ex
plosion which occurred in the base
ment of the building occupied by the
Salem Trust and Savings Bank, lo
cated at the corner of Liberty and
State streets.
William G. East, cashier of the
bank and a prominent resident of the
Capital City, was fatally injured and
is expected to die and M, Mueller, a
laborer, and L. H. Roberts, one of the
directors of the bank, were badly in
jured and suffered many bad cuts and
bruises about the body. The injured
were rushed to the hospital in ambu
lances and are now receiving medical
attention.
The building occupied by the bank
ing institution has been remodeled
lately and two new stories added to
the structure which was originally a
3-story building. The interior of the
building has also been remodeled and
a large heating plant had been re
cently installed in the basement.
The heating apparatus was being
tested out this morning and Messrs.
Roberts and East were in the base
ment looking the plant over, when the
boiler suddenly exploded, hurling
fragments of metal and wood in jail
directions, the force of the explosion
tearing out a- large portion of the
floor and wall of the building and
completely wrecking the basement.
The men who were in the basement
at the time the explosion occurred
were like rats in a trap and were un
able to escape, there being nothing to
warn them of the impending disaster.
East was hurled to the far end of the
basement where he struck on his
head and shoulders and was rendered
unconscious. He was found by res
cuers several minutes after the ex
plosion occured and hurried to the
hospital where several doctors are
now attending him. His injuries are
thought to be fatal and little hopes
are entertained for his recovery.
L. H. Roberts, one of the directors
of the bank, and M. Mueller, a plum
ber, employed in installing the heat
ing apparatus, were badly injured but
not fatally, and will recover.
The explosion occurred during the
noon hour, while the streets were
crowded with people on their way to
lunch, and the detonation was heard
all over the business section and many
windows in buildings nearby were
broken and the buildings themselves
damaged slightly.
People flocked to the scene from all
directions and it was with much dif
ficulty that the ambulances were able
to reach the building, so dense was
the crowd on State street. The ex
tent of the injuries received by the
three men who were in the basement
cannot be determined until the at
tending physicians have made a thor
ough examination of the patients.
The cause of the explosion is a mystery.
Wilson Men Be Careful.
Democrats, in marking their ballots,
must be careful, or otherwise mistakes
will occur. The first thing is to se
cure a sample ballot and mark it in
the way you want to vote, t the top
of the ballot, under the head "United
States," you will find five groups of
candidates for presidential electors.
The first group is for Taft. The sec
ond group is for Wilson. These Wil
son candidates arc numbered 17. 18.
19, 20 and 1.
These are the ones that Wilson
men will vote for. Be sure and make
a cross mark between the number and
name of the five. Be careful to get
the right numbers. The number of
Harry Lane, democratic candidate for
United States senator, is 39. Mark
between the name and number. Then
so on through the ballot you will find '
the names and number of the candi
dates for whom you wish to vote.
