WEEKLY STATESMAN. TUESDAY, rEL2UA2T 18, 120L IS LOSING NERVE jjjjAJIS IS ADVISED TO PEO PX7CS THOSE HE IS ACCUSED OTSLLLLNQ, Evidence Against Him Seems to Make Xliis His Only Hopa of Belease Befusos to " Talk Tor Publication Until After He Sees an Attorney. TUB DALLES ,Or., Feb. 12. "Pro duce the women you are accused " of laving murdered. That is the strong est point you can make in your own defense." , That advice was given this morning Wasco county officers to Norman Williams, who has arrived here in custody of Sheriff Sexton, who brought kirn from Bellingham, Wash., to - an strer a charge of murdering: Alma' Nes titt and her mother. -( . It is the belief of all that unless he produces those whose lives he is ac euffl of having taken, nothing can prerent his eonviction, as accumulated evidence is strong against him. Williams is very reticent and abso lutely refuses to say anything, concern ing the erime with which he is charged. He fame to the entrance of the corridor of the jail for a few" moments when called upon by a newspaper reporter, however, and peered with a close serutiny through the bars when asked toneeraing bis business with the local land office when he was in The Dalles three years ago. He inquired concern ing the land officials whom he saw at that tine. 'Why did you refuse to come from Bellingham when you had signed an agreement to come without extradition proceedings 1" he was asked. 'I didn't refuse to eome! This is the first I've heard of it," he. said in surprise. He was asked how he came into pos sesion of the relinquishment of Alma 'csbitt's homestead, for the forgery of which he has been indicted by the United States grand jury. "I don't care to say anything about that," was his answer, as he fidgeted ? nervously. "You had a homestead adjoining this woman's!" he was asked, when he interrupted. ' "I will not say anything for publication,'- and. began "to back away. "The newspapers," he continued, as lie lacked down the corridor, "convict a man before he is ever brought to trial" It was then suggested that as one : side of the case had teen published, he woul I not prejudice himself by giving his s'"le of the story, but he again in terrupted: "I'll siy nothing. I want to see a lawyer Brut." With that he disappeared around the i-Virner of the corridor, and refused to lie seen further. Williams was very nervous when he was firt brought to. the court house, l)Hiat'a which the county jail is situ ated, lie ws very .confident over at IMIingham, until he came to the train, when his nerve 'seeinel' to forsake him. He, however, came willingly. He -sent for A. iS. Bennett, an attorney, on his j arrival, but Judge P.onnett refused to have anything to do with the ease. It was in .fudge Bennett's family that Alma Xcshitl wis employed for a time as a domestic before she left, with her nwthr for her homestead 'back of Hood Kiver, in. 'Williams' company. TO HIS LAST BEST. James Brown Died Early Yesterday Morning at His Home in Stayton. (From Saturday's Daily.)

MYSTEEIOUS1Y TEEEUAET 2 AND HAS NOT BEEN ttra-kd Chief of Police Gibson Is Conducting Search Por HimFriends Pear He Has Met With Poul PUy Was Pro prietor of; the Willamette Transfer Company, v Fronv. Saturday 's Daily). The sudden disappearance of "one of the well known business men of Salem has well nigh caused a sensation in local circles. - L. C. Beasoner, proprietor of the Willamette Transfer Company, has not been seen in Salem since Tuesday, Feb ruary 1t and where he went, why he disappeared, or how, is a mystery which has so far baffled all efforts at finding a clue. Beasoner has been boarding at the Leonard Hotel, and took Mis last meal there, at noon on the day he disappeared. His friends a! first treated the matter as a joke, but have later "become concerned, over his strange disappearance, and now fear he has met with foul play. Mrs. Beasoner, step-mother of the lost man, lives in the foot hills west of Dallas, and it was thought he might have gone there for a visit, as he some times does, but never before without making known his intentions to friends or employes, but on. investigation if was found that he had not been seen at the Beasoner home. The men driving his hacks and drays know nothing of him, but have simply continued, the business in the hope that he will appear again. Yesterday Chief of police Gibson took the matter up and began a quiet investigation, but so far lias been unable to get the slightest clue on which to work. He is known to have been carrying $200 on his person, although whether or not lie had the money with him at tho time Of his disappearance, is not known, and on this account some peo ple say they firmly believe he has been made away with for his money, and only the remains will ever be found hidden in some "out of the way place or hole. lie may have simply taken the no tion of going off for a short trip, with out informing &ny "one, knowing , that his business would co on just the game, but lie is not accustomed . to keeping secrets from his friends, and never before acted in such a peculiar manner. At first his absence was not thought -mlich of, because he did not drive a team himself, but devoted his time to collecting, and looking for. business, hence he is sometimes not seen for a day or two by the drivers.

"No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the medi cines I ever used. They have 'also kept my wife in excellent health, for years. She says Electric Bitters are just splcn' did for female troubles; that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take its place in our family." Try them.

A LIGHT DOCKET COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' COUBT CONCLUDES ITS XABOES AMD , ADJOUENS TOE TEEM. . Another Appointment Made to Pill Vacancy in Election I Board in Brooks Precinct Bo ad ? Supervisors Named and Other Business Disposed of Claims Allowed. ; ; (From Saturday's Daily.) The Marion county commissioners' court completed its labors yesterday and adjourned for the , term. The docket was the lightest for many months and contained 'but! very little business aside from the bills against the county, and of these. there was an unusually small number. ; Another vacaney in the election board was reported to the court, which was filled by a new appointment yesterday. F.-J. Bolter had been appointed as one of the judges of election in Brooks pre einct, but it being found that he is not now. a residept of that precinct, the court named J. F. Moisan to fill the vacancy. F, E. Osborne and F. B. Du Bette were appointed supervisors in road districts Nos. 4 and 6, respectively, and O. C. ' Whitney was appointed fn road district No. 3, Dolph Criswell, the original appointee, having failed to qualify. C. Whitlock asked to be ex? cused from serving as supervisor in district No. 11, but no other appoint ment was made, the matter being con tinned until the next regular term of court. The petition of Iehabod and Ernest Barrager for the location of a counfv road a few miles southeast of Salem, was dismissed, as it was found that it would be necessary to build several bridges if the road was established. The court did not feel disposed to in cur this expense since the road would not have been a special convenience to the general public, but would have been used mostly for private purposes by the petitioners. NThe county surveyor was instructed to survey and relocate the old line of the county road leading from tET Brooks and Howell Prairie road to the Salem and Sflverton road. This ac tion was taken pursuant to information received by the court to the effect that certain parties had built fences in the road, leaving but a narrow lane for vehicles to pass through. The surveyor is to report upon the matter at the next term of court. The petition of J. U. Miller and others for the location of a county road near Mt. Angel was continued. " The matter of changing the boundary lines of school districts Nos. 11, 58, 61, and 79, and the petitions of W. V. Hor ner and others, and E. Ball and others for the creating of new school districts were also continued. Bids were received and opened for the painting of guide boards" fo be placed at the intersections of county roads. The bids received were as fol lows: Julius Nelson, 15 cents per name; .1. K. Cutsforth, 20 cents, and W.'B. Warner, 30 cents. The bid of Julius Nelson was accepted. The claims audited by the court during tho three ' days' session, and the amounts allowed ' upon the 'same were as follows: Eoads and Highways. O. Butler $ 38.50 F. E.

The license was witnessed by Paul Mar nach. A Golden Opportunity Miss Clara Lcffingwell, for seven years a Christian missionary, prior to, during, and after the Boxer riots of 1900, in China, will be in Salem on Wednesday, February 17, and during the evening will deliver a lecture at the Free Methodist church, in North Salem, on "China, the Celestial Em pire, its People, Its Religions, Its Cus toms, Its Needs." During the even ing models of the sedan , cbair and wheelbarrow upon which Miss Leffing wel traveled throughout China, togeth er with costumes, Chinese books, curios, will be shown. - Mis Leffingwell is said to be a fluent and entertaining speaker and in view of the present war like conditions in the Orient and inas much as the admission is free, no one can well afford to miss this rare opior tunity to learn more about the land of tne heathen Chinee, a portion of whose great Empire forms the basis of' tho war between Russia and Japan. Preparing the Certificates Miss Angie McCullocb. one of the deputies in the county clerk's office, was busy yesterday preparing the cer tificates" of appointment for the 'new inlfrmi n 1 -1 or k nf election. There being 264 arjxdntments on the election boards of Marion county the work of making out the certificates requires great deal of Time and is by no means an easy task. There are thirty-nine election precincts in the county, and in five of these two sets of jndges and clerks were appointed, as follows: Chemawa, Liberty, Salem No. 2,. Salem No. 4, and WoolburB. ' The number of judges and clerks are equally divided, three of the former and three of 'the latter being appointed. .oa . eaeh pre cinct board, while under the old law but two clerks were required in each precinct.

There are a few copies of each work left, and mem bers who are not supplied should ob tain their copies at this time. Copies remaining after tomorrow night will be sent to the Eugene chorus. Prune Orchard Sold M. P. Baldwia yesterday completed the details of a transaction whereby he transferred his 20 acre prune or chard in thf Rosedale district, to Messrs. Crozier and Pemberton, two, gentlemen from Iowa, who have de cided to cast their lot ia balmy Oregon. The price received by Mr. Baldwin was $2500. He bought the piece less than a year ago for $1850, and noW has a crop of prunes on band which will clear him at least $400 over the cost of raising, hence the transaction was quite profit able for him, and . yet the gentlemen have made a good buy, as the adjoin ing orchards cannot be bought for a much higher price, and the pieee will pay a high rate of interest on the in vestment. Mr. Crozier arrived in the city about one week ago and Mr. Pem berton is expected by March L He Was An Escape : Harry Brown, the man who was ar rested by Officer James Lewis on Fri day evening, ; upon the request of the members -of the Holiness Mission, was given his liberty yesterday morning, as no one appeared to prefer charges against him.,; Immediately after he was discharged, Brown returned to the mission and created more disturbance. P. A. Shipley swore- out a complaint, charging the; man with insanity, he was cgain taken into custody by Sheriff Colbath. Later he was taken before Justice of the Peace Ilorgan, where he was examined by Dr. W. H, Byrd, and upon the physician's affida vit was adjudged insane and ordered committed to the asylum. When taken to. that institution by Sheriff ColKafn and Depuy Skipton yesterday after noon ,it -was; found that he was a for mer inmate Of the place, having"-escaped from the asylum farm about a year ago. The demented man. who is; about 48 years old, was committed the first time under the name of. Zoller. , (From Saturday's Daily.) Needs No Help at Present In response to his message extending the sympathy of the p0!'' ' Oregon to the fire afflicted people of Baltimore and extending an c ffer of assistance. Governor ' Chamberlain yesterday re ceived an answer from Mayar:RolerT M. McLanv of Baltimore, the text of which follows: "Many thanks for your kind message of sympathv.

Kirk, agent in Salem for the Atlas Assurance Co reerrved word yesterday from Frank J. Devlin of San Franciseo, the Pacific coast ' manager, conveying the itelligence that Frank Lock, the eastern manager, bad word from the home office at London, con cerning the; Baltimore losses, in which this company suffered heavily, as fol lows: "Promptly arrange settlement. Draw at sight." This has been the practice ofs most of the great foreign companies. I The bulk of the $90,000, 000 fire losses in Baltimore will come from across the Atlantic. In this way th great fire will be a help instead of a hindrance to the. general financial situation. The money will be expended for new buildings, and more will le ad ded to it, increasing the volume of bns iness in many-lines, not only, at Bal timore but i throughout the country.
