began admitting the thirsty.
A communication In the nature of an
ordinance was recently read at a
meeting; of the Grant's Pass council,
providing for the increase of saloon li
cense from f 4ft to 11099 annually. The
matter was received in silent medita
tion by the sol oris, however, and It la
not likely It will go any further.
Two of the eouneilmen. A. C. Hough

their connection with the council for
the reason that "the duties are too Irk

that four others will also resign soon.

Vacancies of this nature are Oiled by

McKinney Bit the Dust.
Bakersfleld, CaL. April 20. James
McKinney, the outlaw, has been, "tak
en," but not alive. The finish of the
desperado came with a terrible battle
to the death between him and the offic
ers of the law. McKinney, in giving up
his life, claimed the lives of William E.
Tibbett, a deputy sheriff of Kern coun
ty, and Marshal Jeff Packard, of this
city. - , - ' :
The final encounter occurred Sunday
morning between the hours of 10 and 11
o'clock, the scene of the battle being a
brick building- on L street, in the Chi
nese quarter of this city. The refugee
had been located there and a brave and
gallant posse of officer went to effect
his capture. Before their work jra
completed bullets sang- the song - of
death for three men. '
Packard and Tibbett entered through
the alley crossed a small yard, and
went up a small flight of stairs in the
rear of the building. Then they enter
ed the door and commenced the search.
They . had been in the building .but a
moment when they met McKinney and
Al Hulse, a former policeman. "iHulse
and Mclnney were the first to fire. jinf
the officers retreated rb the steps out
side the door, i answering the leaden
challenge of the outlaw and his associ
ate in crime. The firing became furi
ous. After a few shots had been ex
changed. Will Tibbett fell to the ground
a gaping wound in his side. In, the next
Instant Packard received a charge of
buckshot in the arms and a bullet in
his neck. ;
' With Ernest Etter, Bert Tibbett was
attracted by the sound of the shots.
They rushed to the alleyway entrance,
and pushed through the 'yard Just as
the other two officers were wounded.
With an oath of vengeance Bert Tib
bet fired at McKinney, who from the
doorway was turning his attention to
the newcomers. The first shot struck
McKinney In the neck, and was an
swered by both Hulse and the wound
ed man. Then the latter appeared In
the doorway again, and Bert Tibbett
fired a second shot. It went true, a
charge of buckshot tearing away one
side of the outlaw's face and filling his
skull with lead.
"McKinney dropped his gun and fell
dead In the doorway. Hulse disap
peared as though by magic, but was
soon caught. ,-.''-'

PADDY LYNCH C0NVIQTED
WILL BE SENTENCED ON SATUR
DAY FOR KIDNAPING A
' SAILOR.
ASTORIA, Ore. ; April 20. Paddy
Lynch.: the sailor boarding-house keep
er, and his runner, Theodore Tobiason.
were fouhd guilty of having kidnaped
Charles Gardner and placed him , , on
board lhe British ship Foylesdale, The
case was given to the jury on Friday
afternoon at 4 o'clock and a verdict was
not reached until after 10 o'clock Sat
urday night. The Jury was considered
to be an exceptionally good one, which
it would be Impossible to corrupt, so It
wa, known that some few must have
grave doubts as to the guilt of Inno
fence of the accused.,
Saturday afternoon further Instruc
tions were asked for from the court
and It was given , to the effect that it
made no difference whether Gardner
went to the' vessel voluntarily if . the
purpose at the time of Lynch and To
biason had been to shanghai him. This
finally brought the jury together and
they agreed upon a verdict of guilty.
The Jury, had stood ten to two for con
viction from the first ballot. ; -
The. verdict of guilty against Lynch
was unqualified, but in the Case of To
biason he was recommended to the
mercy of the court and a county Jail
sentence was requested for him.
Upon receiving the verdict Judge Mc
Bride" commended the Jury for' it and
stated that it was Justified by the law
and the evidence. Lynch and Tobiason
were remanded to 'the custody' of the
sheriff without bail to await sentence
next Saturday. April 25th.
This case has been watched with un
usual interest tn this city because the
belief fn' the guilt of the accused was
general and there wag a strong Hentl
ment that they should be severely pun
ished if a verdict was. returned against
them. There have been a number cf
mysterious disappearances around s
torla In the pat fewyears that can be
explained In no other way than that
the men who disappeared had been
shanghaied, and the public had reach
ed the point where the law might soon
have been taken in : its own hands if
some such opportunity for legal inves
tigation had not arisen. ...... , 4
