DALLAS, Or., Feb. 2. At 10:18
this forenoon, William G. Makers, twice
convicted of the murder of Raymond
Sink, expiated! his crime by having
inflicted upon him the death penalty,
by hanging,' in the jail yard, in ' this
-city, and 17 minutes later Jife was" pro
nounced extinct,; the; dead body was
cut down, placed in a:. casket, and
trrned over to the refativesbf '' the de-.
ceased for burial. The preparations
for the execution of Magers were com
pleted several days ago, and when the
hour arrived for the- final act in the
tragedy which has disturbed Marion,
Polk and Sherman counties for the
past eighteeri months, there was no
hitch in the proceedings.
Magers spent the "tarly part of the
night writing letters, and retired short
ly after midnight. He' slept soundly
until half past four this morning, and
then got , up and resumed his writing.
Breakfast was j brought to him at 7
o'clock, and he ate a hearty meal.
.Shortly before the execution the jury
was called into the jail and polled.
J His brother from Portland and his
1 brother-in-law, Eugene Manning, were
with him and a short time before the
execution, when they bade him good
bye and retired, j. i
At 10:08 o'clock Sheriff J. G. Van
Orsdei went into his cell and readthe
death warrant.! '
The doomed man displayed consid
erable temper, and proceeded to de
molish every loose article of furniture
in his cell. In a frenzy of rage, he
broke his table into j kindling wood.
He had prepared, at great pains, a
statement t6 be given the pre'ss1 after
the execution should! have taken place.
This statement, which - is popularly be
lieved to have been, a confession of ihe
crime, he tore up and burned, securing
the necessary light from his candle.
He held; grasped in his hands, a tab!c
leg. and with this he threatened the
officers, btit-'jve soon i grew calmer; and

NOTED MURDER CASE.
A Brief Recital' of the Circumstances;.
Connected with the Ki'ling of
Andrew Raymond Sink.
About the soth of September, 1898,
some boys who were on the Willam
ette rver in a skiff discovered the body
a man noatmg m the river a short
distance below the stepl bridge at Sa
lem, and near the Polk "county side.
The matter was at once reported to the
coroner of Marion county; but the
body being on the Polk county side of
thet river, Coroner L- N. Woods, cf
Folk, county, was notified- He imme
diately repaired to the scene, and after
empaneling a jury.'proceded to hold
an examination. It was found that the
deceased had apparently been struct
on' the forehead with some blunt In
strument, the common carotid artery
had been eufc and there was also a
wound in the mouth. The hands were
tied together with a rope and a win
dow weight tied to them; the legs were
also tied and a similar weight attached
to them. The jury returned a verdict
that deceased had come ;toj his death
at 0ie hands of some person unknown
to- the jury, and the body was then
taken to the morgue at-Salem to awiit
identification.
After being ? several days -in the
morgue, the body was finally identified
by a young man by the name of Niece,
of Sherman county, as that of Raymond
Sink, a wealthy rancher from near
Moro. Oregon. Meanwhile the; offic
ers had been diligently searching for
some clue which would throw light on
the foul crime, and upon investigation,
found that Sink had last been seen alive
on the evenfing of September 13. 1898,
in company with one W. G. Magers.
of near Silverton. Magers had recent
ly been discharged from the . peniten
tiary, having been sentenced to that
institution from Polk county on a
charge of burglary, and bore a bad
reputation generally.
Magers was located in a few days at
the Depot hotel, in Portland, in com
pany with two young women, one of
whom he represented to be his wife,
and the other his niece.! He was ar
rested and brought to Polk county,
and on a preliminary hearing at Inde
pendence, was held for murder in the
first degree to await the action of the
grand jury. He was at once brought
to Dallas and placed in jail. At the
"December term of circuit court, he was
indicted for murder in the first degree,
and the case canie on for trial. Much
difficulty was Experienced in securing
a jury, owing to the widespread no
toriety the crime had attained. After
exhausting the regular panel, and ex
amining about 100 special veniremen,
a jury was obtained, consisting of the
following persons: A. W. Teats, fore
man; Wm. Riddle, H. S. Butz, D. W.
Lewis, E. C. Keyt Jr., T. VV. Brunk,
M. L. Dorris, Ezra Conner, Holt Mc
Daniel, Wm. Kraber, Wm. Muscott,
Wilson Ayres.
The trial lasted several days, and the
jury, after twelve hours' deliberation,
returned a verdict of "guilty as
charged in the indictment." Judge
Burnett pronounced the death sen
tence upon the prisoner, but an appeal
being taken to the supreme court on
questions of law arising during the
trial, that body after due consideration
granted him a new trUt
He was again tried at the May term
of the circuit court, 1809, with the fol
lowing named citizens in the jury-box:
D. G. Henry, foreman; C. D. Purvine,
Harry , Coad, Alex. Burkhalter. James
Mitchell. James Olmstead. D. R. Hub
bard, P. Bartholomew; EVR. Kimes,
J Jackson Baker, Tracy McTimmonds,
C Lorence. k
The evidence brought out at this
trial did notldiffer materially from thit
of the first trial, and the jury, after be
ing out about an hotar, returned a ver
dict, of guilty of murder in the first de
gree. An appeal was again taken to
the supreme court, but the motion for
a new trial was denied, and he was re
sentenced at the December, 1809, term
to be hanged February 2, 1900.
The evidence produced at the trial
was wholly circumstantial, and in sub
stance was about as follows:
In the spring of 1808. Magers went
to Sherman 'county, and worked for
Sink, who was a well-to-do stockman
living near Moro. After leaving Sink's
place. Magers came to the home of his
brother-in-law. E. Manning, near Ger
vais, and during hop-picking time in?
duccd Sink to come to the valley, hold
ing out the idea to him that the pur
chase of i. livery stable in Gervais
would prove to be a paying investment.
$ink 'made some attempt to buy the
stable, and on one or two occasions
aid to various persons he was going
to shake $2100 at the proprietor for th;
Sroperty, giving the impression that
e had considerable money on his per
son. -
c On the day of the murder. Sink was
Intending to start home, and he and
Magers hired a team and twiggy and
drove to Salem, arriving there about
to o'clock in the .morning and leaving
the team at Keeler's - stable near the
end of the Salem bridge.
They ate dinner at., Strong's restaur
ant, between it and 12 o'clock, and
shortly afterward went to Captain
Downs' lodging house,! near the bridge,
and at once went to bed. Between 6
and 7 o'clock in the evening they re
turned to the stable, where the tear
had been left, and ordered the team
hitched up. They then drove away,
saying they were going for a drive
and that they would soon be back.
This Was the last tinie that Sink was
seen alive and 1 positively identified.
Shortly after the. time they .left the
stable, a young man named Sparr was
loading wood on the Lincoln Toad
north of Salem, on the .Polk county
side of the river, and while there a
team answering the description of the
team driven by Sink and Magers
passed him on the roofl, and while not
positively identifying them as being the
parties he saw in the buggy, he felt
morally certain they were the ame
parties. He saw" the body of Sini at
the morgue, and at that time remarked
to a friend that he felt .sure it was one
of the parties he saw in"" the bnggy.
He afterwards saw. Magers in the court
room and believed him to be one of
the men who drove past him on the
evening in question. . "
The evidence went to show that on
that evening"! buggy had driven down
the road toward Lincoln, land had
t'trned into a lane leading to. the resi
dence of E. EL Harritt. then turned
around- and Came out of the lane and
continued on north to where a road
turns off in the direction of the river
and- leads off into a lonely stretch of
waste land, covered with brush and
cut up by Ionghs. The buggy con
tinued it" down the river entil some
bars and a fence were reached. . At
this point a dog belonging to a mart
camped near the bars made so mnch
disturbance that the rig seemed to have
been turned- and driven back to1 the
main road, then turned south toward
Salem, and into Harritt's lane again.
The buggy passed- through the ; gate,
presttniabfy for the- purpose of ; gwnng
the heavy iron weights attached to the
gate, and was then - driven out once
more and in the - direction, of Salem.
Here, near the lane, the tracks were
lost The shoes worn by the hbrses
driven by Magers and Sink were com-
pared with the tracks in the Harritt
lane, and corresponded exactly. The
tires on the buggy driven by them
were almost new, anT made a clear
ed track which corresponded wirh
those in the lane.
About 10 o'clock that same night,
Magers drove into the Fashion stables,
in "Salem, and, saying that he would
be back in a few minutes, left the team
and wentiaway. He was gone about
half an hour, and then returned to the
stables, and drove off. He arrived at
the home of his brother-in-law, near
Gervais. about 1 o'clock in the morn
ing, and went to a tent at the hop yard,
where . a couple of girls and a young
man were waiting for him. He re-,
mained at the tent a short time, and
then went to the house and retired.
Before leaving for Salem the morning
before he had told one of the'girls he
might go with them to Portland the
next day, but that he didn't know for
certain; when he returned to the tent
that morning he said he would go.
The next day, in company with the
girls, "and other hop pickers, he went
to Portland and stopped with them at
the. Depot fiotel." He remained with
the two girls at the hotel for a week
or more, and was arrested there by the
officers. At the time of his arresjt, lie
was trying to induce one of the girls
to go East with him.
Magers was taken to the police head
quarters in Portland, and when ques
tioned about the crime, to'd a number
of conflicting and impossible stories.
At the first trial he claimed that alter
driving out of Keeler's stables they
met one of Sink's old friends, whose
name he could not remember, and that
Sink and the friend drove away to
gether, while he remained in Salem.
He testified that later in the evening
he found the team standing hitched
near the river. . While in Portland,
Magers and his female companions had
proceeded to "take in the sights," but
how much money he had spent could
not be learned. When arrested, he had
quite a sum of money in his possession
which on the trial proved to be a con
siderably greater sum than he had
earned since his discharge from the
penitentiary.
After his arrest, an inspection of the
buggy disclosed blood on the floor and
back curtain, and upon a careful ex
amination by experts it was pronounc
ed to be biood precisely the same as
human blood, and the floor of the bug
gy, also bore the appearance of having
been scrubbed. On the evening of the
murder and shortly after Magers and
Sink had left Captain Downs' lodging
house, Magers returned to the house
and carried, away Sink's grip. The grip
and the lap robe that was in the buggy
have never! been found.
Both trials were long and tedious;
about 109 witnesses being examined.
The foregoing is substantially the tes
timony brought out in the trials, leav
ing out details. The prosecution was
skillfully Conducted by District Attor
ney S. l Hayden and his deputy J.
E. Sibley assisted by United States
District Attorney John H. flail, and
J. H. Townsend. Magers was ably de
fended by W. H. Holmes, asissted by
J. J. Daly. These well-known attor
neys made a faithful fight in behalf of
the prisoner, exhausting every means
known to the law in their efforts to
save him from the -gallows.
FORMER EXECUTIONS.
The first legal execution in Polk
county took place in June, 185.2. when
Wm. Ever man was, hanged for the
murder of C. C. Hooker, whom he
shot from" ambush. Smith Gilliam,
then sheriff of Polk county, and now
warden of ths Walla Wala penitentiary,'
was the executioner.
In' November of the same year,
Adam Wimple was hanged on the
same gallows, for the crime of murder,
committed upon his wife. Sheriff
Frank Nichols was the executioner.
; One Moss was' the third man to be
hanged in Polk county by due process
of law, having been convicted of the
murder of George Harper. He was
executed in i860 by James' Holman,
sheriff.
The fourth legal hanging was con
ducted in 1888, when William Land
rcth was executed for murdering his
daughter, .with whom he had been on
terms of criminal intimacy. . His was
the foulest deed in the criminal annals
of .'Oregon. Landreth was convicted,
and was hanged by Sheriff Ira Smith.
This was the first execution in the
county, held iri private, the first three
having been conducted in full- view of
the public.
FORMER SHERIFFS.
The sheriff's jury which attended
the hanging today, was composed of

A SMOOTH JQB. ' -All
who witnessed the execution of
W. G. Magers. in the jail yard at Da
las yesterday morning- there were over
200 spectators present expressed them
selves as much pleased with the actions
of Hon. J. G. Van Orsdeh the Polk
county sheriff. Mr. Van Orsdel made
a smooth job of it. and it was owing to
ibis ; careful' supetKk ion of all the Re
tails that the unpleasant duty was per
formed -without a hitch. Mr. Van
Orsdel. who is serving his first term
as sheriff of Polk county, has made an
excellent record for faithful and con
sciencibus work in his office, and on
account of the Magers case these duties
were far more arduous than those usual
ly falling to the Polk county sheriff.
With many obstacles in his path, and
nfiany unpleasant phases of the work,
he has succeeded in making a most
enviable record, and it was freely pre
dicted on the streets of Dallas, yester
day by republicans, democrats and
populists alike that '"our democratic
sheriff" could uot be beaten, and. that
he would be rewarded fur his faithful
work with a renewal of his tenure in
office.
ANTIPODES MEET..

. 'One of the oddest meetings ever
held assembled in Indianapolis. Inl
ine other day. on the joinft'CTTi xfr- thi
AntiSaJoon League, and the. State
Liquor Dealers' Association, in the
Meridian street M. E. church. . The
purpose of the meeting was to, devise
means to compel persons who. are sell
ing liquor under the government li
cense of $Ll5, to take out city and state
licenses. In Indiana the liquor 'license
&oney is ; turned into the, school fun
and ft" was shown that hundreds o'
persons were selling .without ;having
taken out these licenses.
. Dr. Callen. secretary of the . saloon
keepers, league, made the principal ad
dress, and E. F. Ritter, the most prom
inent prohibitionist ift the state, pre
sided. Between the two. some phnj
were agrcd upon which will probably
bring the license dodgers to time.

The Race of the Age !
What a race !
The trairt was just pulling: out of En pie
wood, puffing; and panting; with its mighty
efforts. As it slowly grained speed it came
on a lot of jtow headed children roosting- on
a fence, Whs shouted and waved as the.
cars came jup, and -then, as if with a com-1
taon impulse, every child, leaped to , the
ground and beg-att a race with the train.
The race was of short duration. As the
machine left the panting- little . runners
behind, a gray haired onlooker smiling
sadly remarked : " Young- America all
over. Nothing- too swift for 1m to race
ag-ainst." " Yes, you couldn't nd a fitter
exemplification of the familiar saying-,'
' The child is the father of the man than
in that group of children racing against the
train. It's but a preliminary, heat of the

THE GREAT RACE. "
But how long can we keep hip ? No, longer,
relatively, than the children kept up their
race with the train. What we need is
more brawn, more blood and better , blood.
Strength of body depends on a pure and
plentiful blood Current, for science' has
never advanced a fact beyond the state
ment of Moses that "The Blood is The
Life." . But every generation of -investigation
shows the statement ito be true in a
wider, deeper, and broader . sense than
was dreamed of in the past. Dr. Tierce's
Golden Medical - Discovery begins at the
beginning with the blood. It cures prac
tically a wide range of diseases because
many forms of disease have their origin in
the blood. It is a 'scientific compound
based, not upon theory .but upon the prac
tical, common sense proof that if you
purify, enrich, and vitalize the blood too
overcome disease in any organ. The
"Golden Medical Discovery " heala dis
ease In just this way. It begins first of all
to strengthen, the body through the blood,
and every ounce of new; blood and pure
blood counts against disease.

CAN P Y nT ) K V. WAYS. -
Clerks Iiat What They Wan4 Fond
ness for Candy if- Mcft and .Wo.ncn.
There is an old story tothc effect
that it is a-custom in icandy stores to
tell the new clerk to cat all the candy
"she wants;', the result bring that she is
soon surk'fit d and wants no . nitrre.
candy Cor a long time. The fact ap
pears to be that, substantially, there
is rule or custom in candy sto-es re
garding the eating of candy by the
salespeople. It, is, 'of course, rcuuirtd
that they s-hall not cat candy in the
presence "of. customers; it miRht be pos
sible that a new clerk! who developed
an inordinate .fondness for candy would
require a gentle ! hint; ' but clerks are
not told when they, begin to work that
they may or may not cat candy; noth
ing is aid about that at all; and they
do as they please about jit, and eat what
they want, KOveTiiinfT hcmsclves it i
to be presumed by discretion" and co.n
mon sense. j
It was also the - common testimony
that people do not Ret tired if catidy
by "being always ; in the inidst of it;
and tllis seems to apply alike ..to those
engaged in the manufacture of -candy
anil the "handling of ii by wholesnle.
and to the clerks engaged in the con
stant actual handling of candy in the
sale of it at retail. Those who are
k)h(l ol caJKly, men as fwcll an womin.
are not Mirfeited by the Mght of it 'in
liuantitics coitstantly surrounding
them; if it is good candy they keep on
liking it just the same,! and enjoy eat
ing what they want of it. r
As to whether men jor wnrnin like
candy better there wasjsomc difference
in the expressed opinion. At some"
places it was said that men and women -liked
candy equally w?ll; it was said,
for instance that in a. little company f
men and women eating candy, the. men i
would cat as much as the1 women. At
one place where the opinion was .ex
pressed that -men. take them altogether,
do not like candy so well as 'women do.
it was said that if a man was fond of
candy: he was;likely to be very fond of
it, so that he" might eat aj quantity of
it at a time.' It was everywhere said
that among children boys and girb are
alike iri' their love for ".'candy; but tak
ing into account expressions of people
outside the business as well as of those
in it. the weight of opinion, seemed to
be that among grown persons the'e arc
more women with a sweet tooth than
men; that is to say that men' are not
so fond of candf as- women.- -;
"While the customers in the can.dy
shops in the shipping districts of the
city arc ; almost exclusively women,
there may be found in the city candy
stores a very large i 'proportion of
whose many customcrsjjre men., These
shops are found downtown in the . re
gion dcyocd to trade iand finance and
occupations in which r.nicn - arc more
commonly engaged !and iterestcd.
These men, however, aire baying main
ly for home consumption', in city or
suburbs; and in these later years there
has been seen among the purchasers
here an increasing percentage of wo.
men customers due to the increasing
number of women employed in (this
part of the city. . -.
