Shot the Winesses While on His
Way to Trial.
ONE KILLED AND OTHEKS WOUNDED.
The Cruel Crime of a Desperado Who lias giveo
The Courts a Great Deal of Trouble.
.. Taooma.Jfejp Telegram. 1
Colfax, Dec 17. xne particulars ot
the fatal shooting by a prisoner on his
way to the court house of the witnesses
against him, the fact of which was tele
graphed to the News yesterday after
nooD, are as follows:
Benjamin Blanton, a farmer residing
near Lone Pine, this county, under in
dictment for assault and awaiting trial
at this term of court, shot and killed
one man on the street yesterday and at
tempted to kill several others, all wit
nesses against him in the pending case.
The shooting occurred just before court
oonvened and within 10 feet of the en
trance to the court room, around which
a large crowd of men were standing.
Blanton, whose trial was set for yes
terday, was going toward theoourt room,
when meeting some of the witnesses who
were to testify for the prosecution, he
drew his revolver, an American bulldog,
and fired at the one nearest him, named
Thomas Click. The ball entered Click's
left shoulder and is supposed to have
lodged near his heart, la quick Bnoces
aion Blanton fired the four remaining
shots, one of the missiles passing through
the clothing and across the breast of J.
E. Bennett, and another grazing the
wrist of Samuel Doble, the plaintiff in
the case against Blanton. Bennett was
not injured and Doble's wound is only
skin deep.
After being shot Click ran across and
down the street half a block when he fell
and was carried into the office of the
Farmers' hotel, "where he expired a few
minutes later. Immediately after the
shooting Blanton was arrested and plac
ed in the county jail, and rumors of
lynching have been current on the
streets.
The murdered man was about 37 years
of age and leaves a young wife and
obild two cr three years old. Mrs.
Click, who was in the city with her hus
band, was brought to his side just as he
breathed bis last, and her sobs and
moans over the prostrate form were
heartrending. Ouce she turned her tear
stained face to the onlookers and re
marked that she could bury her dead,
but she looked to them to see that full
justice was meted out to the murderer of
her husband.
TJpou being informed in his cell that
Click was dead, Blanton brutally remark
ed that "He ought to have been dead
long ago."
Blanton, who came to this county
from Marion county, Or., 12 or 13 years
ago, has been in trouble here, as he was
there most of the time. Just before com
ing here he served a year in the Ore
gon penitentiary for attempting to kill
two men, and at that time it was said by
the sheriff of Marion county that Blan
ton had been in jail at least half of the
time and had cost the county more than
any other man in it. One of Blanton's
brothers, who was continually called up
on to get him out of scrapes of various
degrees, was broken up by the heavy
drain upon him; another brother who
lived in this county for a time was com
pelled to leave and locate elsewhere to
escape similar consequences.
Blanton has always been regarded as
a bad citizen, treacherous and exceed
ingly quarrelsome when under the in
fluence of liquor, his knife being his fa
vorite weapon. While he has resided m
this county few terms of court have
been held in which he was not before it
to answer some obarge.
The community will feel relieved when
he dangles from the end of a rope. The
grand jury was discharged Saturday,
but will be re-empanelled so as to dis
pose of this case at the present term.

IT RE8K51BLE3 A BAD COLD.
Investigation of the Rnssiaa Infltenza, Jnst At
tacking New York.
New Yokk, Deo. 17. The sanitary in
spector who investigated the report that
Russian influenza bad arrived, reported
to the board of health. The matter was
brought to the attention of the board by
Dr. Lellman, who notified it that several
members ot the family of Albert Klam-'
roth were suffering from what he believed
to be Russian influenza. The inspector
says: "The ages of those attacked range
from 50 years to i years, all but two lit
tle children being over 21 years. No
cause ot the attack is apparent. None
of the family had reoently arrived from
Europe or associated or been thrown in
contaot with recent arrivals, or anyone
exposed to disease, but oeitain ones re
cently received letters from Europe.
The first case occurred December 11.
The first Hymptoms were sudden faint
ness, chill and marked prostration. Then
succeeded headache, and a general
feeling of malaria, followed by pharyn
gitis and slight laryngitis, winding up
with bronchitis. An examination show
ed the patients about as sick as persons
with a bad cold. The duration of the
attack was two days and upwards.
Health Officer Edson said he had no
doubt it was real Russian influenga.
THE NEW EPIDEMIC.
It Resembles Hay-Fever batis not Dangerous.
Frenoh physicians call it "la griffe;"
English doctors, influenza, but the pa
tients of both, and their name is legion
on the other side of the water just now,
sneeze and cough and nse their hand
kerchiefs and feel as miserable as if no
one knew or cared what ailed them; and
strive iu vain to content themselves with
the wise statement (hat the trouble is
due to the presence of "an undiscovered
microbe." Though itself undiscovered,
this insinuating microbe has managed to
discover and fasten on about 100.000
Parisians in the last few days, and has
taken several other European cities by
storm. The disease unaccompanied by
complications, is not fatal, but its vic
times sometimes wish it was, so great is
the power that it possesses for rendering
life a burden.

THE CKONIN MURDERERS CONVICTED.
sentenced for Life.
Chicago, Deo. 16. At 10:20 o'clock
Judge McConnell announced from the
bench that no verdict had been reached
by the Crouin Jury and that he would
not be in nttendanoe again before 2 a. m.
WILD AND WOOIiT TASKS.
This morning's papers published all
sorts of wild and wooly yarns in regard
to the case. One in an extra declared
that a verdict had been reached, and
gave the penalty in each man's case.
Another gave a long, oircumstantial ac
count of how juror Culver was assaulted
by an infuriated member of theyjury be
cause he refused to agree with' the other
eleven; that Culver sent a notice to
Judge McConnell demanding proteccion,
and that McConnell replied that be
would have to look out for himself.
The absurdity of this is self-evident from
the fact that Judge McConnell said to
an Assoiated Press reporter yesterday
that anything like coercion would
justify the discharge of the jury.
. A MESSSAGE FROM THE JURY.
When Judge.McConnell sent a messen
ger to tne Damn m charge of the jury
to inquire whether the jury had any
communication to make to the court, the
answer was briefly and terseley : "The
jury is prepared to make no return and
has no commnuioation whatever to make
to the court." Thus all reports of the
jury having agreed on a verdict, is found
to be utterly groundless.
Judge McConnell, in an interview
with an Associated Press reporter this
morning deprecated the publication of
wild speculations by paper, and declares
that if any assault on Juror Culver had
taken place, as published, the matter
would have been promptly reported to
him and punished. The statement that
Culver had appealed to him for protec
tion was absolutely without foundation.
He added that it was goiug too far to
suppose that the jury was unable to
agree, as it had not intimated any such
thing to the court.
AVE11DICT RETURNED.
At 2 p. ra. the attorneys for both sides
were notified by the judge that a ver
dict had been reached aud their attend
ance was desired. Sheriff Matson dis
patched bailiffs to conduct the defend
ants to the court room. Some trouble
was experienced in fiuding all the attor
neys for the defense, and delays were
experienced. At 230 the jury entered
and took their seats.
The verdict of the jury was as follows:
"We, the jury, find the defendant,
John F. Beggs, not guilty.
"We, the jury, find the defendant,
John Kunze, guilty of manslaughter as
charged ia the indictment, and f4x the
punishment at imprisonment in the pen
itentiary for the term of three years.
"We. the jury, find the defendants,
Darnel Cougblin, Patrick O'Sullivan and
Martin Burke, guilty of murder in the
manner and form as charged in the in
dictment and fix the penalty at impris
onment in the penitentiary for the term
of their natural lives.
HOW THEY RECEIVED THE VERDICT.
At the request of the defense, the jury
was then polled and re-affirmed the ver
dict. Simultaneous with the announcement
of the verdict, Coughlin, O'Sullivan and
Burke turned deathly pale, while Kunze
started suddenly from his seat and a
moment later dropped his head upon his
breast and burst into tears. Begg's face
was luminous with joy, aud immediately
after the polling of the jury, he arose
from amid the prisoners and walked
over to the jury box, and during the
breathless lull that followed, shook Fore
man Clarke's hand heartily and said,
"Gentlemen, I thank you, I trust my
future may confirm your judgment upon
me and that you will never regret that
you found me not gnilty of this terrible
charge."
The only sound that broke the still
ness following this was the deep sobs of
little Kunze. He burst oat with : "God
knows I am innoceut. I never was in
Lakeview ou that night Oh! God knows
I am innocent, gentlemen,"
O'Sullivan was the ouly one o the
other three prisoners who found refuge
in tears. For a moment they trickled
down his cheeks, but bis black eyes
soon flashed defiance or the revival of
courage, and dashing bis hand across his
brow, he braced up in his seat and cast a
look around the court room.
The only evidence of terror to be per
ceived in Coughlin was increaeed pallor
that overspread his face, as he fully re
alized the significance of the sentence
to life imprisonment, end his lips twich
ed nervously during the colloquy that
followed between the attorneys and the
court, relative to the motion for a new
trial.
Martin Burke was unquestionably the
least affected of all the prisoners. His
usually florid face took on a slight pallor
as the verdict was announced, but a
moment later his jaws again begau the
methodical mastication of gum as reg
ularly as nt any previous time during
the trial.
JUROR CULVER DID IT.
Eleven of the jurors were for hanging
Burke, Coughlin and O.Sullivan, but
Uulver favored their acquittal. A com
promise as above was agreed upon this
afternoon. There was no trouble in ar
riving at a decision in the cases of Kunze
aud Beggs.
DROWNED WHILE DRUNK.
An Ex-Uinatiiia County Resident Falls into

Portland, Dec 19. H. Beemis, at one
time a resident of Umatilla county and
Walla Walla, was drowned in the Wil
lamotte river after midnight this morn
ing. The officers of a steamer moored at
a wharf near by, made an attempt to
rescue him but failed. It is believed
that Beemis was drunk, wandered down
to the river and fell in. He was arrested
a day or two ago for drunkenness. His
bodv w as recovered.

A CHARIVARI SHOOTING.
Two in a Crowd of Serenaders
Fatally Wounded.
MARTIN PHILLIPS ARRESTED.
He Objects to the Pastime, and Objects With m
Shot Gun.
Tacoma, Deo. 18. Tribune dispatch.
A special from Port Townsend gives
the details of the fatal results of a chari
vari, which occurred yesterday evening
on Lopez island, six miles from the
mainland. A week ago yesterday, Mar
tin Phillips, a prominent resident of the
island, was married to Miss Susan Ac
ton, the daughter of a Port Townsend
business man. The young lady was at
one time a school teaoher and met Phil
lips while engaged in that oocupation.
The couple spent four days in this city
and Seattle, and on Monday left Port
Townsend for their island borne. They
arrived there that night, and were wel
comed by some of the best people in the
community.
On Tuesday Phillips set about his
business, which is that of a farmer, and
appeared to be warmly welcomed by his
associates. Wheu night oame he went
to his borne, and he and his new wife
had retired when they were awakened
about 10 o'clock by the most outlandish
noise of tin-pans, horns and the usual
instruments used in a charivari. They
then called on Phillips to come oat and
make a speech, but he only warned them
away, going back into the house laugh
ing. The men and boys who composed
the serenaders refused to go away, and
began to harass Phillips with insulting
remarks, increasing the din all the
while.
The action of the crowd so incensed
Phillips that he reappeared at the door
in a very angry frame of mind. He had
a double-barreled shot gun in his hands,
and warned the men to stop their noise
under penalty ot being fired at They
only laughed at the warning and made
more noise, when Phillips raised the
gun to bis shoulder and fired point
blank at the crowd. When the orowd
ran away two bodies lay upon the ground.
They were John Hall, aged 19, and John
Graham, 3 years older. Both were fa
tally wounded and their death is mo
mentarily expected. Phillips was im
mediately placed under arrest. Great
excitement prevails, and there is much
feeling against Phillips. His new wife
is almost insane with grief.
ftZiEW FROM THE ' FLYER"
Swindler Wright Jump, from a Train Moving
Forty Miles an Hour.
Pendleton Tribune, Dec. 2a
City Marshal French arrived in the
city yesterday morning after a very un
pleasant experience. He went up to
The Dalles on Tuesday after Frank
Wright, a young man who is wanted
here for swindling several merchants out
of various sums of money. Wright left
here and went to The Dalles with his
family. He was located, and Marshal
French went after him. He got his
prisoner and when the "flyer" came
along on Wednesday, boarded it with
Wright to bring him to this city. When
dinner was called shortly after leaving
The Dalles, French and his prisoner
went into the dining car and sat down
at one of the tables. Wright sat facing
French and was nearest the door.
When they had finished dinner, French
turned to pay for the meal. When he
looked around again, Wright's seat was
vacant, and bis figure was silboutted in
the doorway leading to the platform.
French ran out, but before he could get
through tbe door Wright sprang from
the platform. The train was going at
the rate of forty . miles an hour.
French attempted to have it stopped, but
could not, aud he had to wait till Uma
tilla was reached. He then went back
to the point where Wright had jumped,
which was about two miles this side of
Arlington, but failed to discover any
trace of him. It is thought that he es
caped uninjured, and that he has gone
back to. The Dalles, where one of his
children is sick, if he does he will be
recaptured.
THOSE ROOSTER ROCK HURRICANES.
Almost Incredible Havoc Wronght by Them
on the Union Pacific Steamboat Lnrline.
Oregonian, Dee. IS.
The Lurline arrived at the Ash street
dock yesterday about noon, and present
ed a woful appearance. The pilot bouse
is badly shattered and damages to the
hurricane deck will make the damages
foot up in the neighborhood of $1000.
There are seven panes of glass which
cost 833 each. The boat was covered
within and without with sand, the result
of a severe sand storm which succeeded
its first catastrophe.
It was about noon on Monday when
the Lurline reached Rooster Rock, and
experienced the most severe hurricane
known at that point, of all the many hard
blows about whioh river oaptains tell.
The wind ripped up the tin root of the
hurricane deck, and hurled it violently
up against the pilot house, so that Cap
tain Pillsbury was unable to see. His
face was also cut by the flying glass.
"The Doise to us below," said Steward
Petrie, was "like that of artillery fire,
and we were considerably relieved to
learn that the captain was safe. For
tunately we had no passengers, and only
a small quantity of freightfor The Dalles.
We lay to all night in a terrible storm of
sand and wind."
Sand lies thick upon the floor, eeilings
and furniture of the cabins. A busy
force of men were promptly put to work
on the repairs, and will have her ready
to tempt the adverse gales again in
about a week.
Meanwhile the Bonita will take The
Dalles route, leaving the Union Paoific's
towing service a boat short.
