men of the complaint is that while in

A. M. R. Gordon, who has done work

BURDETrE CHANDLER'S CASE.
The validity of the Grand Jury
called IN Question.

The validity OF the Grand jury
called IN Question.
Burdette Chandler, who is charged
with extortion in seeking to get back
money he alleges he lost while trying to
beat the famous clock game in the Turf
and Grain rooms, was before Judge
Cheney yesterday. He was represented
by his attorney, Judge W. P. Gardiner.
The point of attack was on the Grand
Jury which found the indictment. 1t
was claimed that the presence of several
citizens of Wange county in the Grand
Jury when the Indictment was found
rendered that body illegal in all it's acts
Judge Gardiner also attempted to prove
bias on the part of five men on the Grand
Jury, and attempted to bring out the
connection of Major Furrey with certain
Investigations made by Masonic Chap
ter which Mr.. Chandler sought admis.
sion to at the time the Grand Jury was
in session. The Grand Jury Is
body secret in it's acts, and
Masonic lodge or chapter also
imposes the seal of secrecy on
those who take part in it's deliberations.
Under these circumstances Judge Gardi-
ner naturally found himself knocking at
doors where he found admission difficult,
if not impossible, to gain. Without
making much progress that seems mate
rial to those not lawyers, the case went
over until tomorrow.

Inquiries of q very pointed character
are being quietly prosecuted here, the
object of which is to identify Scotch
man who is supposed to be here or about
here in Southern California, and who is
wanted on his native heath for the crime
Of bigamy. AS the story runs, the repro
bate in question was educated in Scot
land for the ministry Of the Presbyterian
church, and he is supposed to have taken
orders in that ecclesiastical organization
and performed it's functions for some
time. Then came some difficulties as to
the person in question holding his place
in the church, and he either got
out or had to go out. He went
out. Subsequently he is reported
to have become wanderer on the lace
of the earth, and to have visited many
lands and tried his hand at many things.
Prior to his trouble with the Presbytery
he had married very estimable lady OF
bonny Scotland. This lady he lett be.
hind to the charities OF cold world
when he departed to seek new fields
abroad and pastures new. The supposi-
tion is that while roaming as avagabond, /,

A Man Who Got Two Marriage
Licenses In a Week.

n
Licenses tn a Week.
Last Tuesday a good-looking young
man came into the County Clerks Office
and, approaching Cupid Whitney with
that fascinating smile 80 becoming to
candidates for matrimony, he asked that
he be granted permit to marry Miss R.
Sanford, of La Ballons, blooming
maiden of 1S summers. Cupid Whitney
is always happy in making two hearts
beat as one, and thus insuring the hap
piness of others. He therefore promptly
granted the request.
But Judge of the frown on the usually
placid brow of the god of love when
yesterday the same identical w. F. Nc
Donell, a native of Wisconsin, 81 years
old, and of La Ballona, weltzed up to the
preliminary hymenial altar and asked
for license to marry young lady of
The Palms, of 1S sweet summers, named
Eva Briant. Cupid interrogated Mr..
Mcdonnell as to the true inwardness
of this development, and was told this
was all right, that the other affair failed
to come off and therefore he was follow
ing out the lesson taught in the nursery
rhyme,
"If at first you don't succeed
Try, try again"
He had tried again and was sure of the
ground he stood on this time. Miss Eva
was with him, as sweet as a peach, and
nodded her assent in most emphatic
style. 1t is to be hoped that there will
be no miscarriage in the present effort,
but that this unwilling bachelor is a
happy Benedict by this time.

MOTHER TRAIN WRECKED.
The SO;tli Bound Overland Train Meets
With a Bad Accident Last Even
ing III junction,


! The Oregon aud California rail-
reads are having some dangerous
and costly wrecks of late.
Last evening AS the overland train
was nearing Eugene it met with II
bad accident at the station known
as Junction. The train was twenty
minutes late and was running at a
good rate of speed when the acci-
dent occurred. The accident occurr-
ed at the north switch at Junction.
The engine itself passed over the
switch all right, but by some un-
known reason the tender failed to
do likewise, and thus bad and de-
WASTING accident is the result. The
tender flew the track and was fol-
/ lowed by an extra baggage car, ex-
press car, two regular baggage cars
and and one of the sleeping cars.
The sleeping car reeled INTO I, car
load of iron standing OIL the side
| track and the result was that the
elegant car was badly shattered but
did not suffer as bad as the express
and baggage cars which are Il CO M
plete wreck. n
The only person who sustained any
severe injuries was the fircm..I,
whose name is Putnam. A late dis
patch says it is thought that he
cannot recover. He is a young mar
ried man and lives with his wife at
the residence of his mother in East
Portland. He was caught between
the engine and tender just as he at
tempted to to jump, and sustained
severe internal injuries from which
he will never recover.
The escape of the passengers is one
to be shuddered at as also that of the
express messenger who when found
was covered with mass of shatter-
ed cars and express matter.
The wrecking train was immedi-
ateiy sent from Portland and at IL
o'clock to-day a temporary passage
had been arranged for trains to pass
on.
The wreck is one that will cost the
company thousands of dollars and
also be the cause of one poor souls
life being lost.
A dispatch from the scene of the
accident rather surmiseS that the
switch had been tampered with, but
it will always be an unsettled fact.
The track was torn up for some dis
tance. The scene presents sicken-
ing sight.
LATER-3:30 p. IN. The local
train arrived here and the inj ured
fireman was comfortably arranged
in the baggage car. He was accom-
panied by his mother, who lives at
Brownsville, and DR.. Mccormack,
of Eugene, who has dressed the
wounds, and is watching him
carefully. When seen by a JOUR-
NAL reporter he was conscious and
could recognize his friends. He has
no family only wife, and he is
being taken home at East Portland.
His recovery is doubtful.

UNCLE NEB." SPEAKS HIS MIND.

Simmons Corners, and when he re-
turned from the fair at Portland an
admiring crowd gathered around
him as he held forth at the grocery
store in the village. last Saturday
night and his explanation of the
affair is given as follows in the Ore
gonian.
"Yes, boys" said he, "that air
music jlst natchelly snatched the
pie, as the city fellers say. ! ketched
on ter a young dude at the cider
counter, long bout nine er clock, en-
he kinder described the pieces of
music the band was a-playin.' We
became as thick as could be.

We it did hit their fight off to a bean.
"It begins this away (whistling)

All the fellers in the band took IA
hand in imitatin' the chickens, ducks
and other critters about the farm
gittin' ready for bisness. Laws! l
snickered right out when Liberati
took off a rooster. 1t was jist mach
eral as life. Well, biemby, these
fellers near the wall begin to rub
sandpaper boards together, shown
the shuffiin' of feet of the gang
comm to see the mill, and then the
sluggers started in. My, but they
did go it. The man with the big
drum had to initiate Sullivan and
Kilrain, both. so he was pOOty nigh
tagged out before they quit. Bang!
went one biff for Sully, and Bang!
went another for the Mick. All the
time some of the other players kept
up a rattlin' with sticks and things,
showin, as the dude told me, what
rattlin' good fight 1t was. The
band played two nice tunes while
the mill was a gOin' on-the first
time for Kilrain, and the second for
Sullivan, when the feller with the
big horn got his second wind.

cited at the scrap, and imagined l

STATE CLAIM TO BE ALLOWED.

STATE CLAIM TO BE ALLOWED -
From Major Lowell, assistant secre
tary of state, the Astorlan learns
that the commonwealth is in fair
way to receive S350,003 long due
from the federal government To the
state. This $350,000 represents the
aggregate OF war debt that the
state assumed some years ago. This
war debt represented Oregon's quota
and was paid by Oregon, bonds be-
ing issued and warrants for the
amount of those bonds having been
paid. Secretary Mcbride and AS
sistant Secretary Lowell have just
finished the job OF collecting the
proofs of the payment of those bonds
and forwarded the claims with such
proof of payment to the general
government department Of claims.
1t Is not believed that there will BE-
any delay IN the payment of this
claim.
