(From Sunday's Dally.)
: At Bve minutes past 9 o'clock yes
terday morning Judge George IL "Bur
nett, of Department ;7 No. 1, Marion
County Circuit Courts passed sentence
on John F. Markley, ccmvleted of mur
der In the second degree for the shoot
ins of John D. Fain, his former partner
in business, at Champoeg, on'tnte morn
ing of June 23th, last. A humberj of
persons had : gathered In i jthe court
room to hear the sentence snd witness
ihe" actions , of Mr, 5 Markey In receiv
ing It. ; When asked if there was any
reason why the judgment should not
be passed, John A. Carson, one of the
attorneys for the defendant, made a
brief talk to the court closing with tho
statement that "as the law fixes the
penalty, your honor, of course, can use
no discretion in Ubhalf of the defend
ant." Mr. Markley was then asked to
stand up and . the court . spoke the
words which committed him to the
Oregon State Penitentiary for the re
mainder of his lifle.
The defendant exhibited not the
least sign of nervousness as he stood
before the Judge,: and resumed his
seat for the purpose of conferring with
Mr. Carson. The parting between the
defendant and ? hrs attorney was , con
cluded by ' a vigorous handshake, and
Sheriff Colbath then escorted Mr.
Markley to the county Jail, prepara
tory to taking him to the Penitentiary,
which last act was done at 1:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, i The first sign of
weakness shown by Markley since the
trial began was displayed when Sheriff
Colbath bade him good-bye after he
had turned him over to the prison au
thorities, when -Markley broke down
and sobbed like a child, and was still
crying when Sheriff Colbath left-t . o

Another Lot of Hops Sold for

Yesterday V :
JAMES WIN STANLEY. OF THE HOP
, GROWERS ASSOCIATION. DIS
CUJSSES THE SITUATION AT
LENGTH- T1HNKS THE MARKET
WILL GO HIGHER. ;
In spite ef the arguments of some
that the market Is weak, inactive and
without fouadatlon, stew : features are
developing every day that, tend to caat
an entirely different complexion upoa
the situation, wbicb is very difficult to
misconstrue or distort.
. James Winstanley, secretary of the
Oregon Hop Growers Association,
when seen in this city yesterday and
asked what he thought of the present
situation of 'the hop .market, said that
he was keeping well advised as to the
condition and expressed much surprise
that -newspapers of the standing, of
those of Portland should permit their
commercial reports to show as much
bias a they have been inclined to do
of late. Under the true conditions, he
said, the market eould not be Influ
enced in the least, but the reputations
of the papers are In danger of being
seriously Impaired. r '
"Ever since January 1," 102, said
Mr. Winstanley. "the tendency of . the
market, has been decidedly upward,
and there never has been a day during
this time when there was a retrograde
movement. Brewers are not in the
market to any great extent as yet, and
sales have been made principally 'to
speculators, and, since the, speculators
have been willing to pay as high as 25
cents, rt Is evident that: the men who
study the hop market the closest are
confident that the market will go con
siderably above that figure or, they
would not Invest their money.
."American bops have established for
themselves a place, in the ' English
market, and English brewers require a
certain quantity of them In order to
impart a particularly desirable flavor
to their beer. This demand, this year,
will be from 25.000 'to 40,000 bales,
even though the English-" brewers
should be able to buy hops cheaper In
Germany.
"The shipment of this quantity of
hops will leave the American market
as bare as It ever has been, and this
condition will cause the price to ad
vance above 25 cents." . i
While Mr. Winstanley does not set
any time nor price at which the grow
ers should sell, his opinion, as to the
best policy to pursue, is shown by the
fact that he will hold his own hops
until late in December and will himself
take his samples to England and sell
them there. '
, The news reached this city last night,
from an authentic source, that the G.
M. Fry lot, of Hubbard, consisting ;of
70 bales, had been purchased yester-r
day,' by M. Gilbertson, . for 25 cents.
Faber St Nels. of this city, have also
bought the T. Hayes lot, of Indepen
dence, 21S bales, and rated as good
primes, at. 2i cents, and ? another
prime Jot at Hubbard, of 55 bales, at
24 cents...
The crop of hops of Frank Bros., of
the Waldo Hills, was purchased Fri
day by T. A. Livesley & Co. j The lot
was graded as mediums and consisted
of 34 bales. The price paid was 23
cents. v
Cuyle & Morkenson who ; have a
yard near Lincoln, a few miles north
of Salem, have 124 bales of hops which
rsnk as choice. In speaking of the hop
situation today. Mr. Markenson said
an offer of 24 cents for the , lot had
been made a week ago by a Salem
dealer, but he would not sell for less
than 25 cents, and thought the outlook
good for a still better price. , , :
Cf. S. Crangle. who has a small lot
near 8 pong's Ferry, says he has not
yet been offered 25 cents, but says he
will not sell for less. He has 59 bales
of choice hops, but says he Is not look
ing for buyers, and Is in no hurry to
sell. X - '
It Is riot a good thing for growers to
get excited, and It Is a pretty good rule
to rake a good thlpg when it Is In
sight. But a prominent dealer made
Ihe prediction yesterday in Salem that
nothi'ng cen stop the upward movement
of prices now, and that 30 cents will
be paid for choice Oregon hops soon.
In Polk County. J ;
Klrkpatrlck A Williams have bought
the-Nendet, Brown and Townsend hop
crops at Airlle. about 200 bales all told,
at from 21 to 22 cents. They bought
about the same amount from the three
Chinamen running the proctor Ayres
and Farley" yards at . 25 cents, for the
Hallock crop they paid 20 cents, and
23 cents for the 58 bales from the Lev
ens yard. Ail the choice hope wilt be
sent to London, and those not so good
will go elsewhere. Several : growers
have refused 25 cents. ..

' A BRIDGE ' COLLAPSED
WALLA WALLA STRUCTURE GOES
DOWN UNDER FORTT TONS
OP MATERIAL. -
WALLA WALLA. Oct. 20. With a
burden of twenty tons of pressedxbrick
and nearly as heavy a load of green
lumber, the bridge on Main street,at
First, gave way yesterday afternoon
and crashed into the waters - of
Mill creek. The breaking of the huge
timbers made a harsh, crunching
sound, and a crowd soon gathered upon
the scene. "A new building' Is being
erected at the end of the bridge and a
great heap of building material had
been piled upon the structure as a mat
ter of convenience. With th giving
away of the bridge the water pipes
were broken and a basement was flood
ed before the gates could be closed.
Aside from this damage, a small house
which had been placed on the end of
the bridge to clear away a lot of rub
bish on the site of the building, also
tumbled into the broken wreck of the
bridge, and the street was thoroughly
blocked to traffic. i ;
A score of men were secured and the
damage done to the roadway was made
ss safe as possible temporarily and the
house was pulled from Its place In the
middle of the creek. To secure men
to do the work SO cents an hour wss
paid and it required an hour or two to
secure a crew large enough to accom
plish much. It Is difficult to estimate
the damage, the principal Item of
which will be a new bridge.
