a suffragette and that she never, as a
matter of principle, believed in worn

But since women have been grant
ed tne ballot and do so participate'
said Mrs. Dowd, following her fore
manship on a jury, "I believe they
snouid not shirk the responsibility
When I first heard that I had been
drawn on the jury list I decided that
would utilize the option given me un
der the new jury law and decline ser
vice. On further deliberation 1 deter
mined that I would serve. 1 believe
the new law is wrong in that it does
iiot obligate women to serve just as it
does men. Since women enjoy equal
rights of franchise with men thev
should also be required to participate
in ine duties such active citizenship
requires.
Mrs. Dowd, wife of Col. W. S. Dowd,
when asked where her residence had
been before coming to Hood River
county, stated that it had been in vari
ous parts of the United States and

Nickelsen Cites Bootleg Operations
C. D. Nickelsen, secretary of the
Hood River County Progressive Busi
ness Men's Association, is authority
for the statement that merchants have
been robbed of profits through losses
in sales resulting from illicit liquor op
erations here. In a current bulletin of
his organization, Mr. Nickelsen says :
"It is stated that one bootlegger
cleaned up about $15,000 the past year,
largely from Hood River patrons. If
this is true, it means that $15,000 less
has passed through the tills of Hood
River merchants, and the consumer of
booze has nothing to show, mentally,
morally, physically or financially for
the money spent. "

With the valley's first woman juror,
rars. v. a. uowfl, as foreman, a jury
in court of Circuit Judge Wilson Fri
day night returned a verdict of guilty
against f red Wise, Underwood man
charged with attempting, on the night
ot January 10, to drown Deputy bher
iff Harry Wood. The formal charge
was assault with intent to kill and the
punishment conviction carries is a pen
itentiary sentence from 1 to 20 years
.ludge Wilson announced that he would
pass sentence at 1.30 p. m. Friday
Wise s bail at request of District At
torney Baker was increased from $500
to $1,000.
The case, in session since Thursday
morning, created no small interest be
cause of the sensations created at the
time of Wise s arrest. Officers, acting
on iniormation. it was stated at a for
mer illicit liquor trial in which Wise
was convicted in trial before Justice of
the Peace Onthank and fined, that a
deliverv of moonshine was to be made,
awaited the arrival of a gasoline
aunch. lhe boat proved to be the
ferryboat operated by Frank Larson,
of Underwood, who was also at a pre
vious hearing fined on an illicit liquor
charge.
I he turv asked that the court use
clemency in establishing the length of
Wise's sentence.
DeputyrSheriffs Wood, who was com
plaining witness, Webster and Sheriff
Johnson were chief witnesses for the
proscution. Wilbur Galligan, rancher.
whose place is at Hood, Wash., was
ailed to testify as to the conditions of
the water and shore line where the in
cidents occurred.
Deputy Wood swore that he and his
fellow officer Webster, while Sheriff
Johnson and three other deputies were
hidden behind driftwood, approached
the water's edge as the launch landed.
As it grounded, he Baid they ordered
Wise to hold up his hands and submit
to arrest. He declares that the man
ordered the boat reversed, and that
they, grabbing the boat, were unable,to
hold it and were pulled back to deep
water. He admitted under cross ex
amination that the water is very deep
very close in to the shore and that he
and his fellow officer stepped beyond
their depth before they expected it.
Deputy Wood swore that.he was struck
over the hand and in the jaw by the
defendant, and that the latter, accom
panying the assertion with vile epi
thets declared that he had the men
where he wanted them and would
rown them.
The officers admitted under cross ex
amination that they had no warrants
for the arrest of Wise and had no com
plaint sworn out. Their stories on di
rect examination were chiefly in cor
roboration of Wood. It was declared
that no rifle was used in the shooting
Officer Webster on cross examination
admitted that he had been aided by
Wise in pulling himself from the
water.
Sheriff Johnson stated that he, using
an automatic revolver, had fired nine
shots at the boat, hoping to orevent
the drowning of his deputies. He de
clared that he thought them in danger.
When Attorney John Collier finished
his preliminary statement to the jury
it is likely that many in the court room
concluded that instead of a conviction
the jury might be called on to award a
Carnegie medal for heroism. Mr. Col
lier declared his client, at the request
of Frank Larson, Underwood ferry
man, had accompanied the latter across
the Columbia on the evening of Janu
ary l. the two men, ne declared,
were up town in Underwood, when
Mrs. . Larson called her husband, stat
ing that she had seen a flashlight on
the Oregon shore, indicating that
someone wished to cross the stream.
Mr. Collier produced Mrs. Larson as
a witness, her testirnuny carrying oui
his preliminary statement. Wise, on
the stand in his own behalf, said he
was on the bow of the gasoline launch,
preparing to jump ashore when two
men, approaching on the sand bar be
gan shooting. He declared that one of
their shots penetrated his hip. He
swore that the men then jumped into
the water, grasping the rim of the
boat. While Deputy Sheriff Wood and
other witnesses had testified that Wise
had ordered Larson, at the wheel of
the boat, to reverse the engine, Wise
swore that he ordered the ferryman to
ram the craft ashore.
Wise swore that he had pulled Dep
uty Sheriff Webster out of the water
after the latter was sinking the third
time, and he delcared that he thought
this act saved the man's life. He de
clared that while he was holding the
men up out oi the water, growing
faint from the wound in his hip, one of
them ordered that the other officers
hidden on the shore open lire, telling
them to shoot to kill. Wise said he
saw a rifle among the officers.
Wise said bullets penetrated the
boat, where Larson had Deen standing,
and that the ferryman would have
been killed, had he not fallen to the
bottom of the boat. Wise said that
the engine of the launch was running
in neutral all the time the hght was in
progres-i. He swore that the boat
would have been half way across the
Columbia, had the engine been re
versed as the prosecution tended to
show. Wise denied hitting or striking
at the officers with his feet. He
claimed on the stand that he had
helped Wood into the boat after the
shooting had ceased. Then, according
to his statement, the man had snapped
his pistol at him.
Wise's story of the proceedings, af
ter he was landed, was to the effect
that Sheriff Johnson had placed three
deputies behind him, trying to force
him to walk to town.
"It was then," said the defendant,
"that I turned on him and used bad
language in expressing myself. He
drew his gun on me, snapping it on
my breast. Then the officers ordered a
rig to take me to the jail."
The defendant and his attorneys
sought to emphasize that Wise was
kept in jail, instead of being sent to a
local hospital, until his attorney.
James H. McMenamin, of Portland,
associated with Mr. Collier in the de
fense, came here.
The prosecution, however, showed
that a physician was called at once and
that the prisoner was given the best
surgical care available.

CITY HALL WANTED
FOR COURT ROOM
Agitation has been started to have
the county lease the assembly room of
the city hall as a meeting place for the
circuit court when jury trials are in
progress. It is estimated that the
Marten will not be needed more than
H days annually. The assembly room
is now used two nights each month for
meetings of the city council. It is a
magnificently finished room, paneling
and furniture in mahogany.
The recent Res-ion of circuit court,
with the new jury law providing for
the optional service of women, demon
strated that the old antedated school
building now used as a courthouse is
entirely inadequate. Prospects for a
bond isue fof a new court house are
declared remote.
