The store of l.. Wade in North
Salem was the scene Of an attempt
ed robbery Thursday night. Late
in the evening of that day two
strange men went into Mr.. Wade's
store, purchased few things and
looked around until closing time.
When the lights were being put out
one of the men slipped behind the
counter and was locked in. Mr..
Wade went home, but had no sooner
arrived there than he remembered
having forgotten to nut away some
valuables. He returned to the store
and much to his surprise found the
iron shutters open and n noise with
in. The would-be robber was given
the alarm by his pal aud jumped
through II window aud made his
escape. The scheme was unique,
and came very near being successful.

ABOUT THE DECISION.

The Itemizer says the trial seemed
to be fairly and squarely conducted
b. the attorneys on both sides, and
few, if any, of the witnesses seemed
inclined to either hide or exaggerate
the facts. But when Justice Fink
rendered his opinion n cloud of un-
rest and regret came over almost
every soul in the room, and soon
spread throughout the large num-
ber of people in town, The disinter-
ested people of the county, who had
calmly listened TO the evidence, were
almost a unit in the opinion that in
was not btilable case, IOr, that if so,
the prisoner should have been held
under at least a $4,000 bond. The
people from all over the county, and
of Dallas precinct, ut once
made known their strong sense of
indignation by numerously signing
a petition calling for tho resignation

A COLD STERN FACT.

One unfortunate circumstance in
the examination lies in the fact that
Mrs. Beardsley told an entirely diff
ferent story before the justice of the
peace to the one she told the JOUR-
NAL reporters on the morning of the
fatality. One of her stories is wrong.
They are contradictory and but one
can be truthful. To whom did she
falsify-the justice or the JOURNAL?
Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1889-03-23
RUMORs WITHOUT END.

The most serious rumors are to the
effect that Beardsley would be sum-
marily dealt with, could he be
found. The JOURNAL ADVISES de-
liberation on the part of those who
feel incensed. In the fair name of
Oregon let nothing be rashly done
which will be regretted. Therefore,
in the interest of justice and law,
all tendencies to mob violence
should be discouraged.
Mr.. Frink did wise thing in de-
parting, as his resignation was re-
quested by a petition signed by
four hundred men of Polk county,
and there would undoubtedly have
been a tar-and-feather scene if the
justice could have been found.
Those who are thought to know,
go so far as to say Beardsley was in
Salem last night, but a reporter of
the JOURNAL was unsuccessful in
locating the rumor.

nesses. Justice Frink placed the ac.
cused under bonds of 81, 800 to await
the action of the grand jury. Bonds
were furnished by Geo. Williams of
Salem and wife of the accused. Ex-
citement is running high, and great
dissatisfaction prevails among
Beardsley's enemies, who are nu-
merous in Polk county and particu-
larly in the nelghborhood of Eola,
where he resides.
THE EXAMINATION CLOSES.
Late last evening the defense rest
ed their case which was submitted
without argument, the prosecution
simply claiming that it was not a
bailable case, while the opposite
side said that 1t was a case of self
defense, he should be bailed.
Justice Frink decided to release
the prisoner on $500 bail, to APP
pear at the next term of court.
The bail was furnished last night
and Mr.. Beardsley folded his tent
and quietly took himself away, as
talk of taking the law in their own
hands" and a purchased decision
by the justice" was wild.
BEARDSLEY A FREE MAN.
AS soon as the bonds were furnish
ed Mr.. Beardsley proceeded on to
his home. The pleasure of a large
number of the attendants at the eX-
animation was not met. They
thought and expected that the ac-
cused would be held without bonds.
But there is now no cause why the
law should not be allowed to take its
course. All law loving citizens urge
this course and it is the only one
which can be followed.
MRS. BEARDSLEY'S REVISED STORY.
In the examination Yesterday Mrs. !
Beardsley said that on the morning
of the shooting Mr.. Beardsley came
in and said that Perryman was after
him again. She says that Boards
ley after u little while took his shot |
gun and started down the road to
his work, and that Perryman, who
was coming from the store in the
opposite direction, when about
thirty feet from him, threw a stone
Mt Beardsley, who at once
raised his gun and fired Mr.. Perry
man reeled, and seemed to be reach
ng for II pistol in his hip pocket,
md Beardslev fired n second time,

She heard excited talking, but could
lot distinguish any of the words
Ised.
