La GRANDE, Or, Sept. 5th.-The
anti.Chinese agitation which has been
going on IN this county for the past
two weeks eliminated last night. An
armed mob of 200 met outside the city
limits at midnight, marched to the
Chinese quarters, and after looting the
houses marched the Cinnamon to the
edge Of the city and ordered them to
leave. The immediate cause of the ac-
ti0n of the mob is said to be meeting
at Red Pepper school-house, al Sand
Ridge, twelve miles north of this
city, yesterday, at which infiammatory
speeches were made by one Esteb, an
attorney, and others. At this meeting
the mob was organized and moved to-
ward La Grande, led by H. c. Cotner,
rancher, and Jos. Truesdall, saloon
keeper, gaining recruits as it advanced
until when II reached the city there
were at least 200 men in line. Mar
shals McLachlan and Ardrey, Con-
stable Walden and Deputy Sheriff
Lindgreen attempted to quell the riot,
but as il was unexpected and no pre-
paration had been made, they were
soon overpowered Warrants have

Engines on Bridges.


At least two bridges in this county
have been broken down this season by
steam engines which were crossing
contrary to law. Only few days ago
one near Silverton was broken. The
owner of the engine repaired the struc-
ture but it is said that when high
water comes it will readily wash away.
Another bridge in the northern part of
the county collapsed under the weight
offs heavy traction engine, but another
of the same kind was Immediately fol-
lowing and compelled the first one to
put the bridge in passable condition at
once, And the driver of the second
machine observed the law SO that no
liability could attach TO him for any
damage to the structure. Last week a
big traction engine went across the big
steel bridge without taking the precau-
tionary and protective action required
by law. The driver swore he'd be
blanked if he cared for the county
court or any other court. He seemed
to base his immunity from the law on
the fact that team was drawing the
engine--it was not being driven by
steam. The statute says that four

around and seeing things is very OK
hGustive, and leaves the visitor very
tired at night. Strong farmers who are
accustomed to following the plow are
tired enough after sight seeing for ten
hours day. Camp chairs can be pro-
cured at 10 cents Il day, and all the state
buildings are open to receive visitors,
where an abundance of seats and rest
ing places are provided. If any one has
$50 to spend In Chicago he should not

A MURDER-R'S GUILT.
HIS Emotions ON Trial Accurately
Registered by Electricity.

1t.s Emotions on lFihi Ncchrh''''
Registered by Electricity.
Those who are accustomed to IRE
qucnt the courts In which murder cases
are tried find themselves drifting into
the habit of attaching great signih-
canoe to actions, gestures and express
sions which under ordinary circum-
stances would escape notice. A prom
inent electrical journal relates how
this habit led to the conviction of
murderer through the aid of cleo
tricity.
The murder had been one of un-
wontcd atrocity, and the prisoner ap-
peared absolutely Indifferent. In fact,
it was impossible for the keenest eye
to detect any change in his counte-
nance or attitude during the examina-
ton of the witnesses who gave the
most damaging testimony against him
The prosecuting attorney, however
noticed that he never once relaxed his
hold on the arms of the chair in which
he sat, but seemed TO support himself
by the pressure which he brought To
| bear on them,
Knowing that under intense mental
excitement, no matter how outwardly
| calm an individual may be, the hands
| Will involuntarily contract ana relax,
| according to the intensity of the emo
| ton and the susceptibility of the per-
| son affected, the counsel saw here a
! chance of securing evidence of great
value He thought that if the arms
| of the chair could only he made to
| communicate the pressure of the in
| visible contractions of the muscles of
| the hands and arms of the witness an
| important light might be thrown on the
| case.
He called an electrician to his aid.
and, during the absence of the prisoner
from the court room. the arms of the
chair We're removed and split in half.
and in each was placed hard carbon
plate. which served us n variable re-
sistance. Wires We're run from metal
| placed on either side of the carbon
through the legs of the chair and under
! the floor TO a telephone receiver and
battery placed in an adjoining closet
The arms We're again upholstered and
the chair replaced.
Every increase in pressure on the
arms of the chair now affected the car
bon, which, acting rs a trnnsmitter
caused sounds to issue from the mouth
of the receiver. On the resumption oil
the trial the court official was placed
in the closet. and. by series Of sig
mails arranged beforehand. significd the
feelings of the prisoner ms they wcr,
betrayed through the muscles of his
hands.
The main points against the prisoner
were thus determined. They vert
presently formulated and read to hin
in privacy. and he was so overcome
that he made confession of hi.
