Mhy Not HnreY

There is no better location in the
state for paper mill than right
here In Salem. Easy accessible are
thousands upon thousands of cords
of cottonwood, while tons on tons oI
the best straw on em In could be
brought here from all the val
ley. There is no doubt but that 4
n paper mill would be II paying in
vestment here. This reminds Us
that an excelsior factory would alsC
be we'll situated here, "a tannerN
pullery, y shoddy factory and many
other local manufactures could b,
conducted here on small scale anC
money made out Of them.

The Railroad Again.

Now since the woOlen mill subsidy
has been completed and matters
have uuieted down tritie, would 1t
not be well to renew the agitation
of the projected Salem, Tillamook &
Astoria Railroad? That an outlet
will be opened up from the valley
to the sea before many years is an
assurance. The route as laid out
from Salem to Tillamook and the
road as ls now being constructed
from Tillamook to Astoria seems to
be the most natural one and the
one which can be constructed with
the meeting of less obstacles than in
auy other line. Weshould organize
the company which is already duly
incorporated, and make the survey
At once. The cost in cash of the
survey will be but trifiing, as COM
petent engineers of this city have
consented to run the line and take
for their services stock in the road.
They will want merely enough to
meet the immediate expenses which
they will contract. Let the survey
be made and let it be followed by
some concentrated action on the
part of our citizens.

What l,Oxn,u Think.

Experienced Logmon who have
made study of the Willamette for
years, give 1t as their opinion that
the present rains will not cause a
rise Of the waters of that river above

smaller tributaries will rise high
enough to float down the many
thousand feet OF logs that have been
cut and are lying along their banks.

A SUMMARY.

The only one who was an eye
witness to the terrible deed, is Will
lis Jordan. He told his story in a
straight forward manner, and avisit
to the scene bears hnm out as to the
distance between the two men
when the firing commenced.
Mr.. Beardsley was so close
to Perryman when he shot, that
the newspaper with which the gun
had been wadded struck Perryman
with full force, and fell by his side
to welter in the dead mans blood.
Mr.. Strain did not see the
shooting as his first intimation
of anything was the firing of a
gun. Even had he been standing in
the door the view would have been
obstructed by an old threshing ma
chine which stands in the road.
Mrs. Beardsley was at the window
in an instant. She saw Mr.. Beard
sley raise the gun and saw the
death struggle of Perryman. She
did not even see the second shot
fired, as during those few seconds
she was Fastening from the window
to the door.
Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1889-03-14
WHY WAS HE SHOT 4?

To relate the story Of the quarrels
and fights of these two men would
require more space than can be
here given. Beardsley is said to
have been abusive and quarrelsome,
while the same is said of Perryman.
Their lawsuits and disputes have
kent them each busy for many days
and now the terrible end has come.
They are thoughtnOt to have spoken
to each other since on May 18th,
last and to-day one is sent to his
untimely grave and the other is in
jail charged with murder.

WAS IN JAIL.

The old gentleman was weary
after his ride and had but little to
say. He said, however, that Beard.
sley had been arraigned and the
preliminary examination had been
set for Saturday at 2 p. M, at Dallas.
He brought the arms back
with him, saying they had no
trouble in getting to the county
seat,

reached it 1 heard a second shot and
saw Mr.. Perryman lying on his
face in the mud and on the side
walk.
"Mr. Beardsley then came into
the house and said, We'll, Tom at
tackled me again and l
HAD TO KILL
or be killed. He then said Perry
man had hurled a big rock at him
before he picked up the gun, and
asked me to get the rock and save
it.U
Here Mrs. Beardsley produced
the rock, a boulder of good size and
we'll shaped for throwing. Had
Perryman succeeded in striking
Bearsley with it, the latter would
have been unable to shoot.
BEARDsLEY's ACTIONS.
AS soon as he lad finished his
shooting he returned to the
house, ordering his man, Q.
Greer, to hitch up the buggy.
This was the work Of but a mo
ment, during which time he had
put in the buggy his shot gun, Win
chester repeater, and two revolvers.
He and old Mr.. White, who lives
Just across the street, then got in
the buggy, and sped on to Dallas,
where Mr.. Beardsley said he would
give himself up to the authori-
ties. AS they drove westward
from Eola Mr.. Beardsley shouted,
He didn't get me this time"
They drove ON few steps and he
shouted out, II amt going to leave
the county"

MRS. BEARDsLEY's STORY:
She dwelt at considerable length
upon the facts that there had been
much ill feeling between the two
families for long time. These
facts are known to all and need not
here be repeated. Bad had fol-

until this morning when Mr..
Beardsley was working in the
ward with some Chinaman
repairing fence; PerrYman passed
along ON the other side. She says
he walked slowly, and when op-
poslte the men at work he stopped
fully two minutes and stared at
them, but said nothing,
as her husband told her and
as the Chinaman corroborated,
Perryman's look was of superiority
and sneer and then he passed on.
Mr.. BeArdsleY then came into the
house." Mrs. BeRrdsley told the
