On Pertinent

The Southern Pacific company

Thl. was the statement made
last night before the cily park board
by Robert B. Btraborn, on behalf of
the Southern Pacific company.
Tlie s. f Stand
The stand of the S. P. was made
following a direct question by May
or Coddard.
"Ab I see It, Mr. Strahofn, the
Southern Pacific will not take over
the property unless it is assured
protection against common user
when its petition for a spur line
to their property is granted."
The veteran railroad builder hes

Want Exclusive lligbt
"Well, yes, you se It right, Mr.
Mayor. I have cctn-' in contact with
railroad construction whoro It was
highly desirable to insert that com
mon nser clause, rtut I cannot Bee
where it is applicable in this in
stance. We aro willing to pay n
high price for the property, much
higher than the property is worth,
and the least we can ask is exclusive
access to our own land."
But whatever direction this dif

city council whether or not the city

was shot yesterday in tho foot by
a .22 caliber rifle.
The young girl was shooting rab

one of them and causing a more

Outlaw To Be Hanged
Tom Murray Taken Without Fight at Centralia
Late Last Night Is Bitter Toward
"Stdbl Pigeon" Who Turned Him
Over to the Police
SALEM, Ore., Aug. 22. Tcm Murray, notorious mur
derer, bank robber and leader of the fugitive convicts
since their daring break 10 days ago, was back in prison
again this afternoon; back in solitary confinement and
vnder heavy guard; back behind the grim, gray walls
where the ghosts of his victims may mock at him, down
through the eerie light of his musty cell.
Gone is his spirit of bravado; gone, too, is the blood
lust which held him in its vice-like grip during the 10
long days he struck terror to the hearts of the gentle
folk of the countryside.
There only remains his sneer; the thin, cruel sneer of
i the loser; the last feeble show of the convict who gambl
ed and lost.
Caught through a ruse at Centralia last night, engi
neered by the wayfarer who had befriended him, Murray
was rushed aboard a train to Portland and f rom. there
1 1 turned to his tottering prison home by auto, with
prison fju?.rds watching his every move.

it is here that he will make his last stand, until the dull
crack of the hangman's noose writes the carmine-colored

youth who went wrong.
As Murray stepped through the gate he smiled. Be
