His bloody Vengeance.

y
heard Of the death of his soldiers ne
determined on a vengeance in the
most bloody manner possible. a
strong force of Turkish troops was
sent to the village with artillery, ana
the massacre began. Guns kept up a
continuous fire upon Dalvorig until
practically not one stone was lsTt
standing upon another.
Selo, the Bey of Initzoun, Kurd,
with a detachment Of Kurdish cavalrS' ,
went with the Turkish soldiers to the
village of Semal and forcibly took the
Armenian priest from his church, af-
ter disgustingly defling the sacred yes
sells and the priests hands. Then they
bound him on a donkey, which they
drove a distance Of few yards. The
soldiers then fired at the priest and
killed him and the beast he was bound
to.
In the same village the soldiers en-
tered an Armenian house and violated
q woman and her daughter, the latter
being Il years of age From this viii
lage Selo forcibly took eight Armenian
girls and sent them to his harem at
Initzoun.
Further atrocities were committed
by the Turks at the village of Kelie-
huesen. Before dawn its place was
surrounded by soldiers and while the
inhabitants were still asleep 1t was set
on fire. The brutal soldiers entered
the residence of man named Arakel,
who was asleep with his wife, and
tortured them both internally in ter
rible manner with red hot irons.
burned to Death.
At Keliehusen the soldiers killed the
Armenian priest, MARCOS, with twenty
other inmates of a house. They ware
burned to death, the soldiers prevent
ing anybody from escaping from the
burning dwelling. The chief of the
village of Cheneg was captured by the
soldiers and bound to his two dauglt-
ers. All three were then scalded TO
death with boiling water.
A detachment of twenty-five regul-
ars of the Turkish cavalry, after CON-
uniting inexpressible horrors at the
village of Sebghank, went 10 the vii
lage school and ravisLled the girls
found there. The cayalrymen then
devastated the building.
Ibo Bey, the notorious Kurd brig
and of the village OF Djibran. and g
colonel in the regular army, went with
a detachment of Turkish troops TO
Hatezgent and Konk and each place
committed every crime there is to
commit
After driving out the men they col
lected the female children Of Bahiou
together, about 200 in all, and after
ravishing them, they killed them all
with guns and swords. After this
massacre the Turkish soldiers regalsd
themselves with wine and whatever
else they could find in the village.
The Kurdish regular troops from
KHAN and Bahran entered the Ar
menian villages of Allanozig and
Aghleg, killed the inhabitants and
wrecked their houses. The number oil
villages devastated in this manner is
said to be over thirty-two.
The Ag7nenians fed in every direc-
ton but many of them were captured
by the Turkish troops before they
could get away and were taken tc
prison.
Rhaduk. who was the principa,
spokesman of the Armenian rsfugaes
told the whole story in a most con-
vincing manner.

IRA L. CAMPBELL, of the Eugene
City Guard, in an attempt to say
something against George M.
Brown, the republican nominee
for prosecuting attorney, places
himself in a most ridiculous light,
and proves that he is a simpleton
as we'll as a democrat. He says
the endorsements given to Mr..
Brown by prominent men of the
state were given with the express
understanding that they were n' t
to be published. Mr.. Brown had
been slandered and abused dur
ing political campaign and
sought vindication at the hands of
his fellow townsmen. Now will
Campbell tell us what possible use
was to be made of the written
statements given him if they were
not to e published? Was it un-
derstood that they were to be
locked up in Mr.. Browns safe as
a sort of quiet satisfaction to him
self? Mr.. Campbell may be very
smart man, but this attempt of
his to make any one believe that
Brown was to let no one see these
statements reluting the lies which
were being circulated about him
is the silliest thing we ever saw in
print.

amounted to considerable more
than the property was worth. He
fought the case, had it referred
and put the plaintiffs to a great
deal of unnecessary expense and
in the end was defeated. The
plaintiffs recovered judgment
against Cauthorn for $5,4S1 be-
sides their costs and disburse-
|ments. When the property was
offered for sale by the sheriff, the
plaintiffs bought it i'll for $4,000
and paid their ,sts ar ounting to
nearly 800 besides their attor-
|ney's fee.
Another case is now pending
a sainst Cauthorn Instituted by
w. F. Crosby. Mr.. Crosby is
known as a careful and prudent
business man who represents a
large grain firm of San Francisco
and purchases more grain in Ore
gon than any other man in the
state outside of Portland. and the
farmers who haze sold their grain
to him have all received their
money. Mr.. Crosby claims that
in business transactions covering
only one year Cauthorn has gotten
the be tier of him over $1,000. This
is right in line with mis- attempt to
secure from Messrs. Cooper and
Jolly the payment Of $14O by
fraudulent means.
As long as Cauthorn confined
himself to Legitimate warehouse
business he got along all right,
but he became greedy and went
into wild speculaiions on borrowed
money. Although the price con
tinued to fall, he refused TO sell
and the poor farmers and otEe.s
who had been mislead by his pro
lessions Of honesty were ;he los
ers of $4,000 Cauthorn didr't
lose it because he didn't have
anything to lose.
1t is usual to extend to persons
who meet with reverses the sympa
thy of tie community. This il
right. The Corvallis people die
SO. So long as a man fails hon
estly a charitable public will al

In regard to the article publish
ed i'll last Thursdays Plaindealer
concerning Geo. A. Doris, the
democratic nominee for district at
torney, we find upon further in
vestigation of evidence submitted
us that the report was without
foundation. The Plaindealer
would not knowingly do MIR. Dor
ris, or any other man, an injustice
and We make this statement sim
ply as matter of justice to him.
The evidence submitted, referred
TO above, is from Mr.. Doris and
George Majory. Mr.. Doris admit
ted that he had visited the saloon
referred to, but that he did not
stay long and that he did not
drink, but simply took a cigar and
soon went out. This statement
was corroborated by George Ma
jory, the proprietor of the place
at the time. AT the requ st of
Mr.. Doris we agreed to make the
statement IS per the first paragraph
of this article, and to allow the
same to appear simultaneously in
the Rev.ew. Some democrats are
making great roar over the mat
ter, alleging that the Plaindealer
had been forced TO retract. There
was no demands or threats made
by Mr.. Doris. He simply ex-
planned the matter and we make
the desired correction, and would
have made no further comment on
the matter had not the democrats
sought to make political capital
out of it by distorting the facts.
Mr.. Frank Waite was present and
can corroborate all the foregoing

fact that its corps of editorial
writer's is made up partially of
lawyers who are familiar with the

full we'll that the statements
made in justification of Bryan are
unfounded in fact.
Hill's code on the subject says,
"The superintendent, shall, by

with the section of the statute

VOTE FOR GEO. M. BROWN

Ooou fdiIeT Tile nomination Ol
Geo. M. Brown, republican candi-
date for district attorney. his
character as a man and lawyer
: was f1agrantiy assalled i'm some
parts of the district. We have
personally and thoroughly investi-
gated the accusations and insinu--
--ations against Mr.. Brown and
find that they were first published
ain Eugene newspaper, controlled
by the brother in-law of Mr.. Dorl
IT'S, democratic nominee for
trict attorney. BY careful al
personal inquiry we have learneo
that all the accusations against
Mr.. Brown are wholly without
B. foundation. Mr.. Brown was born
and nearly all his life has lived in
Douglas county. The citizens of
shat county most prominent in
business and social circles without
isegard to party unite in affirming
that he is an honorable man, an
able lawyer of exemplary habits
and we'll qualified for the office to
which he is nominated, and, what
is most conclusive of the COM
parative qualifications Of MIR.
Brewn.and Mr.. Doris, the court
records of Douglas county (Mr.
Browns honey show that there
were in all SO cases on the docket
of the last March term of the cir
cult court for said county and that
Mr:Brown was engaged as at
torney in 25 of these cases, and
shat there were in all IS cases on
the docket of the last June term
of sald court, and that Mr.. Brown
was engaged as sole attorney in
II of these, while the court
records of Lane county (Mr. Dor
ris's honey show that there were
an all 81 cases on the docket of the
October, 1898, term of the circuit
court of said county and that Mr..
Boris appeared in only s of the
81 cases and that Oh the docket
of the last March term of said
court there were IN all 80 cases
and that Mr.. Doris appeared in
only 9 of said cases. Thus the
record shows that Mr.. Browns
actual court business is about
three times that of Mr.. Doris.
This comparison shows far better
and more truly than anything else
could the actual standing of the
two men as lawyers and the com
parative estimation as to capa-
-bility and reliability in which
they are held by those who know
them, by the respective communi-
ties in which they reside. The
measure of a mans business ca
pacity in any profession is the
actual business that he transacts.
1t is very PLAIN why Mr.. Doris
supporters have tried to cover up
the real merits of the controversy
between Brown and Doris for
votes, by a deluge of vilifcation
and slander. We are fully justi-
fled by our investigation of the
two men in assuring our fellow
citizens that Mr.. Brown is by far
the abler lawyer and more honor
able gentleman and that by learn
ing, ability and integrity he is pre-
'eminently we'll qualified for dis
trict attorney. 1t behooves every
voter, regardless of party, to put
she seal of their condemnation

are advanced and all concerned
are greatly benefited. Another
thing that the voters should re-
member is that the stories circI-
lated by reputable citizens of
Philomath regarding the moral
character of Bryan are such that
the reputation of young lady
teachers may be seriously i'm
| paired, who may have dealings
with him in his official capacity.

THE. SHERIFF CONTEST.

IHE~ SHERIFF CONTEST.
Very early in the campaign it
became evident that the friends
of d. A Osburn were prepared to
go to any lengths to re elect him.
Within a few days after his nomi-
nation it was known that they in
tended to show no respect to re
publicans, their convention or to
George w. Smith, an honored and
respected business man of our
county. Elaborate preparations
were made. The services of the
Greai Benton County Mud Singer
were Immediately secured and the
curtain was raised on the foulest
play that ever disgraced our coun
ty. The stage extended from Or
egon TO Colorado.
The first character upon the
stage was the Albany Daily Dem
ocrat, which displayed copious ex-
tracts from the Colorado Pueblo
Star, which had been published in
that paper at enormous expense to
the managers, stating that a
man by the name of SmitI,
had kept a theatre at that
place many years ago; that it had
burned down and inlimated that
Smith had burned it for the insur-
ance and left, heavily loaded with
booty. The actor was Missed from
the stage. The curtain lell and
the people thought the dirty play
Was over, but the Mud Singer an
nounce,l that the next scene would
be a family row.
The chef character in this was
a boy 81 years of age, with inhu-
ential friends, rich uncle, pri-
vate fortune, and starving to death
in Bishop Scott's academy. The
quarrel was between the step
father and uncle, who denied The
right of the administrator to set
tie the estate and wanted possession
himself, and challenged HIM to 3
contest at law. The administrator
having no other resort, accepts
exhibits proof of iatherly care O
the boy, arrays his bondsmen
points to the estate, and tells hin
to go ahead. The uncle leaves
muttering that he had always sup
posed that man who paid hi!
debts was a cardinal virtue.
LAST ACT.
! A number of dirty fellows who
had been hired for the occasion
distributed papers whose glarins
headlines announced: SMITH Is /

MOVED. DON'T VOTE FOR SMITH.
Just as the curtain was about tt
fall, Sol King appeared before
the footlights with a long sacl
and demanded verdict in favor
of the chief manager of the play
The dirty fellows who had dislrib
uted the papers emptied the sack
and promised to secure the verdict

If these managers escape the

After careful comparison of
the two above reports, is the
Times, Bryan or any of his de-
tenders possessed of the supreme
gall to still maintain that Bryan
has done his duty? Can you still
say that he is careful, painstak-
;; ing official? Can you longer
doubt that this alleged report Of
Bryan's is not a fair sample of
the manner in which he has COIL
Quoted the affairs of his office
throughout? A man or a paper
that will try to justify such gross
negligence as Bryan is proven
guilty of, can not pose as friend
to the taxpayer, or to the cause
of education, and any person who
will vote to retain in office such
a fi1nsy excuse for a superinten-
dent, has not the welfare of the
public schools at heart.
The GAZETTE has entered this
fight in the interest of the tax
payers, and also in the interest of
the public schools of Benton
county. The Times and every
patron of schools in this county
does know, or at least should
know, that Bryan has neglected
the cause of education during
his ter1l of office. He has been
spending his time in saying sweet
things to the girls and reading
law in the hopes of securing the
nomination at the last convention
for county judge, but as he failed
in this, and times were hard, he
concluded to again enter the race,
feeling confident of success on
account of his majority at the
last election. His boasted popu-
larlty, however, is rapidly OH the
decline. When men and women
both, without regard to party,
are irnportuning the voters in the
name of morality and in the in
terests of the public school sys-
tenn of this county to defeat Bry-
an, they should heed the warning
and cast their ballots for a man
against whose fair name the
breath of scandal has never been
breathed. Such a man is Holm,
who is known by all as man of
integrity and who has pledged
himself to faithful performance
of the duties of the Office if
elected; who will open all office
in the county courthouse where
he will be found, when not out
of town visiting the schools. He
also agrees to hold local insti-
tute in Blodgett valley, Alsea
valley, Corvallis and various
other parts of the county each
year. These local institutes are
of great advantage. The teach
ers, patrons of the schools and
friends meet together, discuss
various plans of instruction. In
this way many excellent theories
