Views Of the Members Of the Building Committee
Regarding the Future Course ef the
Committee

Committee.
The Building Committee held its sec
ond meeting on Friday last and adjourn
ed to meet again March 10, when definite
action will be taken. The present I'M
certainty in relation to the disposition
which the Legislature will make of the
bills now before it prevents the commit
tee from arriving at any final conclusion
at the present time. Interviews were
had with the different members of the
committee by letter and otherwise the
results of which are given below.
Col. Clark, Chairman of the Committe
expressed himself to HERALD repre-
sentative as in favor of waiting until the
fate of the bills now before the legisla-
ture was decided. He in substance
agreed with Mr.. Rodolf's opinion, ex-
pressed further on, that the county
could build and then claim such pay
ment from the state as was provided by
the law of last winter but thought it
would be better not to get into a wrangle
over the matter
MIR. Ryland was of the same mind as
his associates on the committe so far as
regarded the matter of waiting but
thought the present law would not be
repealed. He regarded the repeating of
that law as q breach of faith on the
part of the state and rank injustice to
those counties that have already pro-
ceeded TO the erection of county asy-
lums.
The views of Mr.. T. n Hubbell were
the same as expressed in recent issue

DAVIS DEATH.
a prescntinent Which M a de
Him Restive.

1t appears that Davis had n present.,
mcnt that he would be killed before he
got off the mountains. In consequence
he was FESTIVE from the time he left
McMinnvillc. When he had reached a
point not far from the ambuscade on
the Beersheba road, Nickers says Davis
called his attention to some loose horses
on Ben Lomond mountain, but Nickers
could not observe them. Davis had
been to Beersheba and was on his way
to McMinnvillc His assassins had
come over the point at Ben Lomond
mountain. At one place on the noun
tain the road to the rear could be OBJ
served for distance of two miles.
When Davis and his men came in sight,
on this part of the road, Il pistol shot
was fired This was believed to have
been Il signal to the assassins that Davis
and his men had come in sight, and for
them to make all the necessary arrange.
ments to kill him The shooting did
not occur until half an hour after the
signal Before reaching the anrbuscade
Davis got Vickers to get down and let
out his stirrup straps, that he might
simply touch the stirrups with his toes.
The ambush was so constructed that
each one of the eight men had n port
hole through which he could fire, the
base of it being n large log, with wings,
made of cord wood, thrown out in front
and on each side, and covered with &c,
dar. 1t is believed the oysters, in the
cans found, must have been eaten on
some day previous to the assassination.
1t is said that in their testimony be-
fore the coroner's jury, two wood.chop-
pers within fifteen feet of whom the as,
lssins passed, denied having known the
men. The white man testified that he
thought he knew five of the men when
they were approaching him, but he was
satisfied he did not know any of them
after they had passed by him. The ne
gro testified that he did not know. any
of the men in the crowd and could not
identify any one of them. They came
upon him and his white companion 50
Unexpectedly that he was scared and
said to them out of fear, perhaps, more
than anything else, "we surrender" "
they had come after them,
but why he could not tell. None of the
men said anything, and went off in an
other direction.
1t is thought that the two wood chop.
pers, even if they had recognized any of
the men, would not dare to say so from
fear of the vengeance of the assassins or
their friends 1t will thus be very diff.
cult to discover the men who killed Da-
Wis.
Some men are suspected of having Ia
ken part in the assassination, but it is
doubtless whether the real assassins will
ever be found. - American.
