Egbert exchanged a fusi- , lade of shots through a partition be-j tween the two. .rooms. - This was un-j productive of result and Saxton went , outside the house.

Every detail of the execution and the law were car ried out to the letter and, considering that it was the first incident of the kind ths officials of the penitentiary ever took a party and the surrounding conditions, it may be said that every thing passes off as -easily, smoothly and expeditiously as possible. At 12:51:53, or 9:18 minutes after the trap was sprung, he was pronounced dead. ; j -' The execution was witnessed by in the neighborhood of 75 people and it is safe to say that not one present but will say that it could not have been - done more quickly, easily and humane ly. ; . J' Although the event was scheduled ' to transpire at exactly. 12:30, aecording'to the program -which had. been arranged, there was a slight delay at the start on account of the prisoners having com in "late "from their work ;in the 'shops, as it ' was desired to have all of the prynoners locked up when, it took place. : - Alt -of the prisoners were in their cells and securely locked at half Kst twelve and Superintendent James, . imediately,. accompanied by Warden Curtis aad. Deputy Warden i Smith, ' went np to .Egbert's cell and informed him that ..he had the death warrant in s " Mssession. Egbert waived " the rea-lisr of the warrant and the war- dens stepped up aad unlocked the cell door. Egbert stepped bravely out and took his place behind Bev. St- Pierre and Superintendent James, followed by , tbe two wardens. When they arrived at the chapel, of -the prison Egbert' was smoking a cig arette vigorously and doing his ntsiost to control bimseli, Jixl as" the two war- vtens each took bold of aa arm, and four guards from the shops, Stapleton, . Hir.. Ben gen and Boss fell in behind, with Superintendent James and Bev. St. Pierre ia the lead of the proces sion started on its way to the gallows, it was plainly seen that Egbert was very nervous and walked . unsteadily. He fixel his eyes' straight ia front f him, however, and did not hesitate i a his march to his doom. . . . : . . Once inside of the death chamber he riimbed the stairwav with a more noose was in its proper place all stej ped back, and, as Bev. St. Pierre ut teretl the words "Goll be with you," Warden Curtis and Deputy; Warden Smith, who had in the meantime taken their respective positions at the trip handles to the trap, grasped the two handles simultaneously, gave them a sharp jerk, both of 'them . being con nected with the spring of, the trap to insure its being tripped, and as quick as a flash, tire body dropped through' the trap, there was a sharp jerk mingl ed with 'the sickening twang of the rope, and all was over, for there was no perceptible movement of the body after the drop and it hung there as limp and lifeless as though it ha$ been there a week. There was about a six foot drop and his neek was broken in stantly. . 1 j : :w . ? i Dr. J. D. Shaw, prison phyaieian, and Dr. E. A. Pierce,' the- officiating physicians, assisted by Dr. W. .A. Cns ik, and others stepped upand exam ined tbe body, waiting until the last heart throb bad beaten and there was absolutely no life in the body, and pro nounced hint. dead just exactly 9 min utes and 18 seconds after .the drop. Egbert was an exceedingly vigorous man and his heart continued to throb for several moments after all trace of pulsation .vanished. The Warden's jury composed of M. .'.!. ' Hamilton, J. E. Boberts, H. D." , , Pattoa, Earl: Baee, , H. 'J O. Meyer, James B. Linn, P. W, Dnrbm. J. A. Simpson, Oscar Johnson, D.V. 'Vaughn, V. II. Downine and A. A.

There was not 'a single hitch in theprociee! ings and all who" witnessed the, execu tion were well pleased- in the matiacr ia which it was done. " . ? . From the unsteadiness of his gait when he left the building for the scaf fold it looked very much as though Eg bert woul falter and weaken before he climbed the .stairs to the scaffold, but he seemed to, maintain his equan imity until the last, or until tbe 'utter ing of his last words upon the gallows. There was a very notieeable weakness or wavering of his voice when he made his talk to the spectators and it would have been' the next thing to impossible for him to say many more words with out breaking down completely.. As it was it required a great effort upon his part to control i himself, but be suc ceeded in holuing up until all was over. There was nothing spectacular about the execution, whatever, as. everything was carried on as smoothly and as de liberately as if he were going to do nothing more than deliver an address, aad the sight was -not nearly so' grew some as some supposed that it would be. In fact everything was carried out so quietly that it is safe to say that half of those present did not fully re alize what had really happened until it was all over. Then it was too late. as there was nothing left to observe but the corpse of a man. Egbert ' probably, died more easily and painlessly than the majority of those who have been executed in the same manner, - for there waa not - the slightest twitching or writhing of the body after the drop, but notwithstand ing the fact that the sight was not so ennervating aa the. majority of those who attended supposed it would be, there was one young man present who although he had bothered the prison officials i continuously until he had ob tained an invitation, swooned, away in tbe midst of the proceedings, and had to bo carried out by other members Of; the party. The name of the young man is not given, but it is enough to say he is a student: of the medical class of j the Willamette University, and it is also needless to say. that in all prob ability he will not be so anxious to see another affair, of the kind.. .Notwithstanding .his resolution to arise early, Egbert dropped off to deep sleep aad slept soundly until 10:JU o 'clock, when he was awakened by the guard. He arose quickly .and cheer fully, and state that he never ; reu better in his life. , He was particular in bis dress and ate the food that was placed before him, which he had order ed the night previously, and which con sisted principally of a pint of cream and a dish of canned pears. At 11 o'clock be came down to the barber 'a room and waa shaved. ' . His nerves were steady, and . he" was " very particular about the ' manner in which he was shaved. I " " ' : -.. .

The Portland cattle buyers cn no longer get cattle for from $2.25 to $3 per 100 pounds, live weightl This was the pre vailing price early in the fall, and at which time the. Portland buyers , came in and bought up a large number of beef cattle. Yesterday;.' a car load of Butter Creek cows was sold to a P-w-tlanTi -firm" for $3J30 per 100 pounds, a But a: week or so ago the quotations ,en this gadc of beef were $2,451 The price of steers has gone up to $4, 50 cents higher than two weeks ago. , The reason for the adtaace is that tho cattle raisers can well afford to hold their cattle and have been hold ing out against tbe market. This has been one of the roost favor able winters for the cattlemen that has been known in the history of 1 life eountfv. Last fall a 'err went np that there was an extreme scarcity of; hay and other feci throughout the entire eastern portion of tho state. That, was true, and prices for' ! f eed went to a point out of the reach of the ordinary matt. For a time it was -thought there would be a large aumber of forced sales, but everything seems to ; have happened .ccontrary to expectations. Not one of the stock raisers had to feed, and their cattle lve: been kept on pasture during the entire season. It has been one of the most open seasons in years. Springlike weather has pre vailed with more moisture in the. ground thantusual. Grasses have been growing continually, anl tbe pasture has been exceptionally goodj f The stock is in good condition, and the raisers of Eastern Oregon will be in a position to demand and get their own prices; wnea the spring ; trade comes.
