The 'entire family was in at tendance at his bedside when the?end came. Although he suffered almost in cessant pain, he endured it all with re markable patience and fortitude and was conscious until within a few min utes of his. death. - j i The deceased j had I been ailing for about three years wirh kidney and hlad , der complaint which finally rendered him incapable t of ! managing his' farm east M this city. and last October J he removed with his family to this city, where, relieved of the care and anxiety of his busy farm life, he expected to ultimately re gain his health, f Failing to improve, he went to San LFrancisco on January 5th. atgeom-panied by his brother, T. R. Hibbard, of 'Silverton. He. remained in California three weeks but. despite the best of medical skill and experienced nursing, he gradually became worse. Returning home, he submitted to a surgical operation, about two weeks ago. as a final resort, but he failed to be benefitted thereby, death ending his suffering yesterday, afternoon. ' King L. Hibbard was born near Pe kin. Tazewell county, Illinois. Ion No vember lS, 1837J In the spring of 1847, when but ten years bid. he crossed the plains with his parents, arriving in Marion county September 25th df that year. His parents settled on a dona tion land claim in the Waldo hills, a portion of the original farm home con stituting rhe highly j cultivated farm of the deceased, upon which he resided continuously until ill-health compelled hi removal to rhis city, j The deceased was for many years a prominent politician in this county and canvassed 'Marion county several times. He was a man of pronounced integrity and by reason of his unques tioned honesty and conscientious course was honored and respected by his po litical opponents. He served very ac ceptably as county assessor in this county for one term 1870-2. He be longed' to no (fraternal organization, but was for many years a member of the Willard Congregational church, in which he was ever a faithful and untir ing worker. i .

Three new corporations filed articles yesterday in the state department, and received authority to begin operations in Oregon. They are: The Keystone Mining Company will engage in mining in Oregon and else where in' the United States, and will do , a general development business, and deal in general merchandise. Portland , will be the headquarters. The com pany has a capital stock of $100,000, di videdJnto shares of 10 cents each. F. A. Knapp. Wm. Jbnes and J. A.;Cran ston are the incorootators.

Beaman are the trus tees and incorporators. B A DLY SCAREdT The people of Southern Oregon are considerably ex cited over smallpox nrmors and facts now current from Lane to Josephine county. The Roseburg Review, makes a serious charge i against Grants Pass by declaring that the man Wm. D. Johnson, from Sumpter. who died there of smallpox recently was more the vic tim of neglect than of the disease; that ; the doctors, themanthorities and the people of the town refused to go near the man or do any thing for him, and y being quarantined, fbe man was in no 1 condition to heh firmself. Then after bis death three tramps were hired by the city officials to bury th body for $50, part of the contract teing that they should fhen get out of town as quickly as possible. : The three men . carried ont their contract to fhe letter, beating their way out of town on the ": '-..i-D ( .-: : - northbound local yesterday morning. They . were discovered, in a drunken condition, by the trainmen and pot off at Glendale. This rank piece of work may result in scattering the disease quite extensively and the people along in that region of country are agitated over it- A rumor was current last Sunday that a smallpox case was on board the train coming north, but the trainmen denied it. The railroad au thorities will foe railed to exercise crreat care for a time in the carrying of sick people. ; - . ; - A SALEM WOMAN. The follow ing is from the Eugene Guard, of Feb ruary 'i6rh; it appears to be somewhat of a mystery who Ella Jones is, the Statesman being unable to find anyone last evening, who. knew -her: "Yester day morninir about 2 o'clock Officer Croner heard several lusty screams in the vicinity of Sixth and Willamette streets, and on reaching the scene of trouble beheld Ella Jones, a . young woman front Salem bleeding from, the result df blows administered by a Jack McCarty, whom s-he claims assail ed and robbed her ot $4. Vigorous search was at once instituted for Mc Carty to answer to a charsre of larceny. but up to this time he has not been ap prehended." AT SPOKANE. Ed. D. Baker writes to one of the Statesman .force srom Spokane that all the Salem boys up mere are doing welk with the ex ception of Bert Macey, who has the smallpox. He has been .sick a -week, being now at the pest house. . .Al. Olinger, the well-known carpenter and contractor, is in Salem from Spokane. fie says mere are so many Salermtes in the Eastern Washington metropolis mat ne sometimes imagines ne is on the Wtfofoot state capital's thorough fares when he goes out on ttte streets there. FINE BEEF STEERS. Steusloff Bros, yesterday purchased from W. B. Stevens, of Crowley, Polk county, twelve head of extra fine stall-fed Short horn steers. The average weight was '235 pounds, and the average cost $55o8 per head. , These steers were fed ior ninety days. NEW LIGHT PLANT F. R. ANSON PROPOSES TO AND OPERATE IT, ERECT Will Supply Light, Power and Strain Heat by Mean of Modera Equip ment. (From Daily, Feb. 21st.) F. R. Anson, for many years man ager ctf the Salem Light & Traction Company's business, and who resigned his position a few months ago, with a view of engaging in business at some point in the Northwest, has decided -o remain in the Capital City, and at last night's meeting ai rhe c'.fy council he made application for a franchise au thorizing him to erect and opente an electric light and power, andt a steam heating plant in this city. " Mr: Arson's plan is to construct, in case the fran chise is granted him. an electric !:ght plant, provided with the latest improv ed machinery and equipmnts. One of these improvements will be a combined engine and dynamo, recently patented and constructed, the tw, being practi cally one machine, thus dispensing with beltingand a consequent liability of ac cidents. The distinguishing feature of the new plant will be fhe use to which the ex hausted steam, wasted in aH stean plants, will be put.' Mr. Anson pro poses to utilize this steam bv means of 1 recent invention, in heating stores, of fices and buildings throughout the city, at about an average price of good stove heating. ' Mr. Anson has met wirh much ea couragement, on the part of the citi zens, since conceiving the plan, and he is firmly convinced that his venture; will tmeet with success.' and hcvpes o have his plant in operation by Sep tember 1st of this year, provide' the franchise is granted him by. the city council, which has the matter under consideration. The date given here, when Mr. Anson hopes to complete his plant, is four months earlier than .hat named in the proposed ordinance. . RAILROAD BUSINESS During :he month of January, business in the passenger department in the. Salem of fice of the Southern Pacific Company was exceptionally good, surpassing the record for the corresponding period !ast year, while it was necessary to put on a number of extra freights to handle the business of that department. There has been a steady business in both-.departments thus far this month. al though the volume of the traffic is not as great as during the preceding month, in fact there is always a falling off of trade in transportation circles during the month of February each year. 'At present two local freights are oper ated regularly while two through freights are required for. the' trade. Many carloads of hops are being ship ped now. while almost daily numerous carloads of Oregon manufactured lum ber, consigned to Ogden, pass through Salem. The company's employees at Salem were made glad last Friday by the arrival of the pay car a monthly occurrence-r-when about . $700. was di bursed among local oftieiaJs and work men. ''..:. .

A SLICK. SWINDLER FOKMEK OKEGOX COSTICT IMPOSES i OX COLORADO PEOPLE. Claim to Hit Bmb Jadf la Tata State. ' aaii Satacd HlaucU to PiUua form Parpos. (From iDaily, Feb. 21st.) . ; : The Denver Evening Post, one of the leading newspapers of Colorado", devotes5 considerable' space in the edi torial columns of its issue of February ilrli, to a former inmate of the Oregon penitentiary, one George Hayiord, w'ho on January 18, 1899, was sentenced!by Judge M. C. George, of the state circuit court for Multnomah county, to serve one I year f for obtaining imoney under false pretenses, and who was discharged from prison by Supt. J. D. Lef on De cember 10. 1890, having servedf his time lest the time deducted for good be hay ior. The. editorial of the Denver Post is given herewith, and it is sale to?say that all readers of the Statesman will promptly recognize the fact rhat the Post bas been sadly imposed upon by a confidence, sharper: 'Jufdge ueorge Jiayiord, ot aatem, Oregon, has made a unique investiga tion 01 the Oregon state prison. lie was a recognized authority in criminal law before his elevation to the bench and has served a term as attorney-general of his state. In every respect' bis standing is excellent. Since he became judge various reports have reached him ai abuses in the state prison, cruelties practiced on prisoners and meager and poor fare given fhem. As to the trufh of these stories so circumstantially told as to appear to be absolute verity. e was unable by inquiry in his official ca pacity to obtain satisfactory informa tion . f "Here, where a. less determined and resourceful man would have been stop ped short, -Judge Hayford began his real investigation. He doffed the er mine and went to prison, a prisoner, self-sentenced for contempt of court. A "few friends only knew the secret. It had to be confided to them to insure the succe?s'."ul operation of the plan. No one at the prrson dreamed the identity of the prisoner who. treated like all the other inmates of the institution, was able to secure the precise information he desired. - "It is said Judge Harford found that what 'he suspected was true. He is now engaged in preparing a report lor the prison authorities, in which he will outline the discoveries he made and suggest a means erf bettering the condi tion of the orisoncrs. Though the in formation at band of Judge Hayford S undertaking is incomplete, it is sufficient to satisfy any one of bis devotion to duty and his originality of method. He certainly is worthy of the highest com mendation, also, for the kindness of heart that actuated him. 'None of us desires to become a state entertained visitor in a penal institution, but we all do believe that prisoners should be hu manely treated and subjected to no humiliating punisbment that may tend to their further degradation." George Hayford has a history, rhere is no doubt, but "his exploits differ somewhat from those told by the Post, fie came to Portland fron "California in 1898, where he represented himself to be an attorney, and soon, by his sauve manner and evident knowledge of law, gained the confidence of several mem bers of the legal profession whom he impressed with "the idea that he had large property holdings. He finally determined to fit up an office, in the Chamber of Commerce building, and purchased furniture,- office fixtures and other goods on the installment plan. He also -secured money from various people upon different pretexts, until his creditors began to , investigate him, when he suddenly disappeared. , Detective Ford, of the Portland po lice, was given charge of the case, and he soon located rhe fugitive, the latter being on his way east on the Northern Pacific railroad. By a liberal use of the telegraph, officers in St. Paul, Min nesota, were given a description, and instructions to arrest rhe fugitive, which they did upon his arrival. . Detective Ford promptly secured a requisition for Hayiord. followed and secured him, and was bringing him to Oregon for trial, when Hayford made a sensational escape. While passing through Idaho on a night train, Hayford asked per mission to enter the toilet; Mr. Ford readily gave the permission, arid fol lowed his fman down the aisle; arrived at the door df the toilet, Hayiord, in stead 'of opening it, swung open the door of the car, sprang out on rhe platr form and, a second later had leaped in to the darkness off the moving train. At the first station Mr. Ford left the train, secured a handcar, and a crew of railroad hands and started back over the road through the darkness to find 3ie prisoner. He found the place where Hayford had jumped off the train, and by following his tracksQn fhe snow, ran the fugitive to earth, recap turing him within sixteen hours alter making the escape, and at a cost of $100. Mr. Ford found that, in order to dis guise himself, Hayford had torn out every hair: in his moustache, baring his upper lip without the use of razor. scissors or knne. When Hayford was brought to ' Port land he was indicted on eight counts for obtaining money under false pr-r tenses, was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for one year on each count, rhe sentences to run concur rently. ' The prisoner was received at the prison January 18. 1899. and remained 'just 10 months and 22 days, leaving on DecenVber 10, 1899, having' served his time 1 ' . 'Supt. J. D. Lee, when asked concern ing Hayford. said yesterday that the man was well behaved, during the Ut ter part of his termv but was inclined to be presuming, and occasionally j it had been necessary to discipline hhn, but never severely. During the early part of his-incarceration he had been somewhat nnraly. and restive, but had, during rhe last few months of his stay, been what might be termed an exem plary prisoner. He had been employed in the tin shop, and in the garden rpad ing, though the major portion of bis time was spent in the "bull-ring, walk ing for exercise. Harford's wife, a Russian woman, who conducted a small store'somewhere ia Montana, had keptbim supplied with money and when the prisoner's time had expired, fur nished him with funds to return home, and until the story, printed above, came tram Denver, Mr. Lee said, he had heard nothing of the ex-convict. : , When' Hayfaivi was received at the prison he gave his age at 40 yearsV al ihough he looked to be 50. His photo graph in the Rogue's ga3ery is not the likeness of I an ideal judge of a court. and it is irKomsprebensible how .the fel low s story was so readily believed in fhe editorial rooms of the Denver Post. "Judge" - Hayford is not an Oregon juugc, neitner ws -ne ever tipi:nc)-- generaf of this state, as intimated by the Detaver' paper; in fact, he is not an Oregon ; attorney at all, as inquiry in the office of Judge J. J. Murphy, clerk of th suprem court, yesterday, elicited the information that the name of George Harford did not appear among the names of the attorneys commissioned by the court, f Neither does his name appear on the roll of honor,;, containing" the names of the eminent gentlemen who have dUpehsed justice in. Oregon. As Oregon has only had three incumbents of the office of attorney general, since that office was created Messrs. Cham-, berlain. Idle-man and Blackburn, the latter the present incumbent his 'story in that. regard s proven as absolutely a lie, as are the others. The most amusing -statement in the editorial of the Denver publication is the assertion that "Judge" Hayford was sent to the state penitentiary for "contempt, of court." a proceeding un heard of- in the United States. A FAMILY TROUBLE TUE SMITH BROTHERS TRIED FOR SUOOTINO THEIR FATHER. A Stubbornly Contested Caae la the Cir cuit Conrt Dlfficnty Orer Poa : session of a Cow. (From Daily, Feb. 21st.) TPhe Smith 'Brothers of, Silverton Orvie and William were on trial in the state circuit court for Marion county yesterday, on the charge of assaulting their father, W. R. Smith, with a dan gerous weapon, by shooting him in. the arm .the weapon used being a Winches ter rifle. -A large number of witnesses were .examined, and the entire diy was corrsunffd in hearing testimony and arguments, the case being stubbornly contested, until, at 8:30 o'clock last ev ening, when the jury retired ftr de liberation after hearing the instructions of the court, and receiving orders o notify the bailiff and have the judge called, in case the court was not in ses sion when an agreement should be reached. , At 9 o'clock yesterday 'morning, when rhe court convened, the matter of choosing a jnry to try the case was taken up, the following twelve men be ing selected: J. R. Jackson, W. H. Humphrey, Will Evans, Willard Mar tin. J. A- Sha'fer. C. E: Hudleson. M. R. Settlemier, Wm. Staiger, J. E. Col lard, Bruce Cunningham, John Ken ady. C. L. Watt. District Attorney S. L. .Hayden and W. H. Holmes appeared for fhe state, and W. : M. Kaiser, Tilmon Ford and State Senator L. J. Adams represented the defendants. Mr. Hayden mide the opening statement to the jury, and Mr. Adams addressed the jurors on behalf di the ; defendants. The testimony showed that the father of the defend ants had, some tinie ago, secured a di vorce" from their mother that the two bsons,1 who are yming men grown, ma 'e their homes with the mother; tnat the mother's cow disappeared ''out of the barn; Chat the young men, armed with rifle and revolver, respectively, went in" search of the Cow,- going to c teth er's place, a logging camp ten miles from Silverton. arriving there at 11 o'clock in search of the cow; that they found--the cow in their father's barn, but did not take her. retiring, inste-td. o the woods, on a hill near the house. Here they remained until 2 o'clock in .he afternoon of the second day, when they approached the house. aft?r their father's hired man had -rone to the woods, finding Mr. Smith and a yoy. D. M. Morgan, alone. The boy met them outside and , started to speak to them when they bade him be srlent. md entered the house. The lather tes tified that the boys enfered the house, saying, "d n you, you took ths cow, and we will kill you." The witness said: "Don't shoot." and ran out of the other door, when a shot was fire by William Smith, striking the- father in the right arm, and he felt, outside the house, on a pile of w:ood; a this time the other son approached him with a revolver, when the Wounded man said: "-Why do you want to shoot me? Don't .shoot me any more. You have killed mc already." His son Or vie replied: "Don't put on-any style or we'll finish you."- The father itesified that he went into the house, bleeding, when one of the boys helped tie cp the wounded arm with a towel;' that.1! this time William -Smith held his r-fle in his hands and threatened to "finish" the old man. , , The defense brought testimony show ing that the old man had attenrj-ted to shoot the boys when they entered his house, and the boys alleged self defense in shooting at their father." . i. Testimony was introduced by the state showing the positionf of the house and the conditions when the men work ing for MrA Smith were called to the house by the shot and the blowing of V horn. The dcs'ens'S also attempted to prove the bad reputation ' of the prose cuting witness. . . ,, The ; taking of vtestimonyv was V con cluded at 4: jo o'clock and the argu ment began, being concluded at S-15'p. m., W.
