Statement of That Indict ment a Quarter of a Century Ago. (From Albany Democrat May 18.) We have received the following letters one from Capialn James Blukely, of Brownsville. Captain Blakely has resided In Brownsville for fifty years, and formerly represent ed Linn county in the legislature. The other letter Is from Mr. Henry Blakeiy, the democratic uominee for sheriff. The light thrown on this indictment affair ends, Just as people who knew Henry Blakely declared R would do, that is in his vindication. The letters are as follows: Brownsville, Or., May 18, 1896, Editor Democrat,- I desire to state that when my son Henry was a young man, he wa engaged in oaring for a band of my cattle in Un atilla county, Oregon. There was an indictment procured against him by false testimony. The entile which the indictment charged Henry with steeling turned out to be my own cattle, branded with my own brand. My son on hearing of the indictment voluntarily went to Pendle ton and gave bonds to answer the charge. There being absolutely no foundation in the fact for the indict ment my son was promptly discharged. The story being told that I paid money to procure sis discharge Is a malicious falsehood. I never directly or Indi rectly paid one cent to procure his dis charge, and never heard of such a thing, until lately. He was discharged because he was innocent and the district attorney so stated in open court. James Blakely. Bkownbville, Or., May 18, 1896. The herald's malicious and untruth ful statement in its columns of the 17th Instant that I have been dodging to keep out of the penitentiary Is a malicious falsehood and libel. Nearly a quarter of a century ago I was herd ing cattle for my father, James Blake ly, iu Umatilla county, Oregon. An enemy, while I was absent from Uma tilla county, managed to procure an indictment against me, falsely alleging thut I had stolen some cattle. The cattle alleged to have been stolen turned out to be my father'B cattle and were each of them branded with my father's brand. As soon as I beard of the indictment and without waiting to be arrested I voluntarily went to Pen dleton and gave bonds to answer to the charge. The officers were thoroughly satisfied that the indictment was ma licious and without any foundation in fact, The district attorney In open court aunounced to the court that be had investigated the matter and that he was satisfied that I was innocent of the commission of any offense and voluntarily upon bis motion in open court the case against me was dis missed. The man instrumental in securing the indictment against me was arrested for stealing, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary. I was born aud raised in Brownsville was never sued and have never Bued any one. I was maliciously made a party to the Indictment above referred to, answered it without being arrested, aud my innocence thereof vindicated. I have never dodged any officer and never at auy time had reason to fear the penitentiury, nor any other pun ishment. I have always made my word as good as my written obligation. I cannot believe that my friends and acquaintances iu Linn couuty believe in or take auy stock in the slanderous falsehoods of those who go back a quarter of a century to dig up a mall clous indictment procured by perjury. My life hus been as an open book to hundreds of the people of Linn county and those who know me best, my neighbors, are my warmest supporters. T here promise the voters of Linn county that if elected to the office of sheriff I will honestly and fearlessly do my whole duty Hknky Blakely.

He says Cuba may need more help. Strawberries are ripening now. The reason we know this, a friend condes cended to give us a few, and as they were about one-third ripe, we know they are ripening. We suppose the warm spring rains that Oregon is celebrated for, are helping them along. We are glad "Trilby" found a few ttems to write about. We would like to see the other correspondents fill the columns of the Express with news as our part is about to sink Iu a Kansas drought, vVe would feel like hiding or leaving for some place unknown If we were the boys who came back from the Salem ball Sunday afternoon In such a plight but such is the way our town Is gener ally represented, If not at the dance, on the way home. They are bound to show how cute they are. We may be mistaken, the boys might have been glad to get back after being away so long, but after they got inside the corporation they shouldn't have dis turbed the quiet of the town by Im proving their lungs. We have been hanging up against fences, stores, barns, etc, listening to the great puzzle of "Who Will Wiu?" or politics. The populists seem to be getting the worst of the puzzle as betb of the old parties seem to be fighting like mad to get the prize and the popu lists are going to be snowed under, unless they Join forces with one of the old parties. Some of the candidates will be elected though regardless of politics, one of them we believe, from what the republicans, democrats and populists say, will be S. M. Garland, the democrutio nominee for county Judge, as he will poll a large vote from each party. Ab for ourselves politics are not troubling us, it is our own scalp we are watching. OBITUARY. Mr. C.
