PITIE! I
The quarrel between Admiral
Sampson and Admiral Schley, of the
navy, is not only disgusting: it is
pitiful.
Both are worthy old gentlemen:
both are brave men.
But it hap­
pened when Ceryera s fleet left San­
tiago harbor. Sampson was making
a tour of inspection and was ten
miles away. Schley promptly sunk
Cervera’s fleet and Sampson made
the mistake of sending a dispatch
announcing the fact without men­
tioning Schley's name.
Sampson so much regretted that
he was not present: he had waited
for weeks and then missed the fight.
He regretted this so much that he
became envious and omitted Schley’s
name in his dispatch. This fact pre­
cipitated a row. And now these
white headed old men are abusing
ea -h other like thieves. It is pitiful
that envy and jealousy can carry
worthy men to such extremes.

NEWSPAPEB FI NR HAU SFR’IOS.
Mr. Ball, representing the American
Type Founders’ Co., was in the city last
Saturday and made purchase of the Val­
ley Transcript plant, which Mr. Snyder
had stored in tbe Odd Fellows’ build­
ing. The type in the cases was all
dumped in a barrel and shipped for re­
casting into new faces. The imposing
stones were too heavy to pay to ship,
and no local printing office desiring to
buy, they were smashed into smithereens
with a heavy hammer.
Likewise the
Maun press, which consisted of a large
cylinder, filled with sand, designed to
roll on a long frame from end to end,
each roll printing a paper, was also
found unsalable and worthless to ship,
and was converted into kindling wood
and old iron. The job presses and cases
were shipped. An old newspaper man
happening along and observing the
housecleaning, remarked: "Well, I sup­
pose that’s the funeral?” And thereby
hangs a tale. Mr. Snyder invaded this
field with a third newspaper in 1894,
moving his effects down by wagon from
Dallas with as little stir as is attributed
to the fabled Arab and his tent. Two
years previous he went to Dallas from
Astoria, and in his opening issues there
he declared, “We are here to stay, at
least as long as the ladder we shall en­
deavor to climb will stand on end.” It
is a safe assertion that Mr. Snyder made
no money at either place, along the
strict lines of newspaper work. As a
leverage for securing office, he may
have made a success of what has other­
wise been a losing game. But his was
not the original third newspaper to enter
the field. The Lafayette Register, es­
tablished in 1881, remained in Lafayette
eight years, when it was moved to Mc­
Minnville by Mr. Harding, this field
then being occupied by the Reporter,
established in 1870, and the Telephone,
established in 1S86. Messrs. Heath and
Harding soon saw that the field was too
narrow for three papers, and effected
consolidation Feb. 1st, 1889. Then Sny­
der broke over the line about five years
later, and after a five years’ struggle,
was tricked out of the little business he
had. The demand for newspapers in
McMinnville today is no greater than
when Harding and Heath consolidated,
though the two older papers have had a
natural and steady growth, as they
have merited it.
In the foregoing, which is true as
gospel, there is a clear lesson for news­
paper men in choosing a field. There is
also a lesson to be found for business
men. Don’t allow yourself to be im­
posed upon under the plea of “treat all
alike.” Advertising is a necessity, yet
it is a matter of discrimination as well.
Do you get the same service? should be
the question. The thorough business
community, and there are many exam­
ples in the east, and a few in the
west, does not encourage those ven­
tures of which it feels no need. They
realize that more than enough of any­
thing, as justified by the community’s
needs, is a detriment, and they set about
seeking for those things which they have
not and shotiln have. McMinnville has
one college. She does not need another.
Yet there is as much need for two, as
there is of a third newspaper. Portland
is another example. Two dailies fill the
field, and the repeated attempts to es­
tablish others have signally failed. The
two give good service and the patronage
justifies it.

Evidence Not Sufficient.
The preliminary examination of wit­
nesses in the case of the State of Oregon
vs. Ed Duclos, of the Webfoot neighbor­
hood, charged with cutting, mutilating
and torturing an auimal on July 26th,
was heard before Justice J. M. Pugh at
the court house on Monday, There
were six witnesses for the state, The
defense introduced no evidence. James
Shipman, the prosecuting witness, testi­
fied that he turned his cows into the
highway about seven o’clock in the
morning in good condition, and next
saw them about 4 in the afternoon, in
very bad condition. They were punched
full of holes. There were five holes in
one, two in auother, and five in a third
cow, which was lying in a ditch, and ap­
parently with a broken hip.
At the
lime of the examination the cow was
still living, but could not stand. Dan­
iel Gubser testified that he was working
near his house about nxo’clock, and
heard Duclos hollering and hissing his
dog at some stock, and then heard him
pounding as if fixing some fence.
Next
day he saw' the cow and examined her
as to how badly she was hurt. She had
four or five wounds—one more severe
than the rest, on the thigh, which had
bled considerable. By carefully exam­
ining and lifting it, he was satisfied that
the limb was broken. The whole ham
was swollen and the wound on the sur­
face looked as if it had been shot with a
revolver, or prodded with some sharp
instrument like a pitchfork. He said on
cross examination that he was certain it
was Duclos’ voice he heard, because he
was often hollering, and no one else in
the neighborhood hollered like him.
Lynn Gubser also heard the sicking of
the dog, and heard Shipman’s cowbell
ring, and also the hammering, at about
11 :30 o’clock. Mr. Ausbe was passing
abcut that time with a load of lumber
and passed the injured cow in the road.
She was barely able to get out of the
road as he slackened his team in passing.
He saw Duclos a few minutes afterwards.
Miss Alma Hewitt testified that about
the same time she was riding her wheel
along the road in the direction of Day­
ton, and passed Duclos, followed by his
dog, which was panting. Duclos climbed
he fence in the direction of his house,
having come from the direction of the
cattle, which were passed a little further
on. She noticed that some of tbe cows
were bleeding. H. M. Lambert saw the
wounded cattle next day. (At this point
attorney for defense objected to w’liat
he called dragnetting the complaint to
cover three cows when only one was al­
leged as injured, and was sustained.)
He was in the neighborhood about the
time hollering was heard, and also heard
swearing, such as "damn it,” in the di­
rection of Duclos’ house. He stepped
up on the church steps, which enabled
him to look over into the depression in
the road where the cattle were, and saw
a man he believed to be Duclos. Thus
ran the evidence. Argument followed,
R. L. Conner speaking for the state, and
J. J. Spencer for the defendant.
The
justice decided that while the fact of in­
jury was established, the evidence did
not connect Mr. Duclos sufficiently with
the crime to justify binding him over to
tlie grand jury and he was set at liberty.
Quite a number of spectators were pres­
ent from the neighborhood, and the be­
lief seemed quite general that Duclos
bad committed the injury.
