GIBBS FOUND GUILTY. - The
much talked off Gibbs murder trial

GIBBS FOUND GUILTY. - The
much talked off Gibbs murder trial
has come to an end. The trial was
concluded last evening at 8 o'clock
and the jury returned verdict of
murder in the second degree"
The Jury was out about four hours
before verdict was reached. Gibbs
received the verdict in a cool man
ner and does not have much to say
about 1t. Some express their opinion
that he should call himself lucky
over the fact that he will escape
hanging while others think that the
verdict was too hard, and that Nc
Dewitt was not an officer when the
shooting took place, and what he
did in attempting to arrest the de-
iendant, was illegal. The judge in
instructing the jury said: "a per-
son whose arrest is attempted to be
made unlawfully, may stand his.
ground and repel force by force, TAX
ing care chat the force employed by
him does not exceed the bounds Of
mere defense and prevention, and
that II does not become enormously
dIspropOrtionate to the injury threat
ened. A person 80 unlawfully at
tempted to be arrested may resist
such arrest, but not to the taking of
life, unless he had reasonable cause
to believe, or did believe honestly
from appearances, that he was In
imminent danger Of death or great
bodily Injury.

PIONEER DAYs.--In conversa-
tion with Capt. John M. Marden,
reporter of the Times-Mountain-
eer learned the following incident
regarding the administration Of JUS
tice In Wasco county. In 1858. The
highest magistrate was a justice of
the peace, and Mr.. John ID. Wood
ward, now of the Locks, occupied
that position. A man was brought to
him for larceny, and the sentence
being one hundred dollars or fifty
days in Jail. The man had no
money, and the nearest colaboose
was in Vancouver. After consider
ing the matter, Justice Woodward
came to the conclusion that he must
take the prisoner to that point.
Shouldering his rifle he forced the
culprit to lead, and so convey him
to the destined place. When he ar
rived at Vancouver he was informed
that that was military post, and
the officers had no right to incarcer-
ate the prisoner. Ordering his
man to be about "face" he marched
him back to the Cascades, and on
arriving at this place told the
theft that, seeing he had no money,
he would take his note for 5000
fine and expenses-and costs. The
man willingly gave the amount and
was discharged. Nothing has been
heard of the fellow since, and on
asking Mr.. Woodland about the
promissory note few days ago he
said it was still bearing interest--2
per cent. a month-aId that 1t was
still in his possession.

KAISER DID Buy A Doa.-The
story of the man who sold the pres.
ent site of the city of Chicago for a
plug OF tobacco and pair of gum
boots is eclipsed by the chap who
took liking to "a dog belonging to
one Morgan, who at the time,
which was several years ago, was
marshal of Portland. He offered
the marshal a lot and shanty In Gle
elum, In Washington, then an al
most unknown place. 1t was then
supposed the lot was worth no more
than the dog, and the trade was
made. J. Campbell, the well-known
attorney, drew up the deed,
and the transfer was made In due
legal form. Morgan thought no
more about the matter until short
time ago, when he received infOrma-
ton that caused him to believe the
lot was of some value. He accord
ingly sent to Ellenburgh and had
the deed recorded, having neglected
to have done this. He was surprised
as wellas gratified TO learn the lot Is
in the middle of Cle-elum, is In a
corner lot and valued ut $1,000, with
real estate steadily advancing. The
honorable city marshal has"yanked"
II great many bad characters with
out fiinching, but in this famous
dog trade he "yanks" the whole
bakery. 1t Is doubtful If there Is
such case on record.

OREGON ARRIVALS FOR ELEVEN
MONTHs.-From January !, to No.
vember 80, the number of callers ut
the Portland Board of immigration
Rooms was 32,678. The secretary In
his report says: These figures in
dicate a very large immigration to
our state. 1t should be borne In
mind that the number of callers at
the board rooms does not bv any
means include the entire influx to
the state. We have heretofore
figured the proportion of callers
ut about one-ffth Of the whole.
Estimating on this basis we
have as an actual immigration
for the eleven months of this year
the astonishing number Of 1853, 800,
or an increase Of the corresponding
period Of last year Of 1885. Allow
Ing a liberal percentage for those
who came and went back, and for
transient "lookers," we may safely
figure that we have had an actual
settlement In our state during the
year Of 100, 900.

When the appropriation ordinance was
prepared the city valuation was placed at
$3.50, ,0OO, 900, including reductions on rural
and agricultural properties, but the Finance
Committee at the time of making this cal
culation really expected the valuation to
run up to fully 5000, 0,00O, 900, though they
based their plans on $50, 0,000,O 900. AT the
rate of u mills they calculated to receive
s., ,165, $50 rs from city taxes. From the
table above, it will be seen that the valua-
tions on the entire city amount to S195, 542,-
S45. Of this sum S142, Ill, 531 represents
real estate taxable at the iul! rate of II
mills; S44, ,2O3, $50 represents rural property
taxable at a two-thirds rate or mills; ST.
731, ,730 represents agricultural property
taxable at one-hali rate, or 6 mills,
and 81, ,495 12S represents personal prop
erty which is also taxable at the full 12-mill
rate. The tax levy then on the property as
sessed at the full rate is 81, 723, ,279 SO; on
rural property, 1858, ,631 60, and on agricul-
tural property, S45, $50 3S. The total tax
levy accord ~ to this statement is s., 1922
3O1 96. or S43, ,65S 79 less than the Finance
Committee anticipated, although the valua-
tior runs up considerably higher than the
figures upon which they based their caleu-
lations. This deficiency in the present
wears appropriations will, it is more than
probable, be increased from 5 to 10 per cent
by reason of generations and taxes that
will not be paid.
