A Deep Dyed Villain.

Frequently items are seen about tn,
meanest men in the U. s. The divorce
case OF Simon agt Simon has been UP be-
fore Judge Hewitt at Salem. The fol.
lowing from the Post is an account OF the
proceedings that led up TO the suit, and
II there is Il meaner man in the U. s.
than Simon, according to this account,
the DeMocRAT would ike to hear of il:
About year and half ago George
Simon made the acquaintance of the
stepdaughter OF Mr.. Leisy and a mar
riage soon followed. Simon was hard up
for money and knowing that the girl
was fairly well supplied with money he
won her affections. Soon after the mar
riage Simon obtained all OF her money
and OF course, had no more use for her.
The report then comes that he, with the
assistance of others, made her swear
falsely TO an affidavit charging herself
with some of the most lasciyions crimes
known. They threatened to send her to
the penitentiary ifshe did not do so, and
the little girl became so frightened that
she attached her name to the unlawful
document. Then as n matter OF course
the husband began showing this and at
tempted In send her east, but before he
his object the matter was
taken up by neighbors and the young
fellow skipped out just in time to prevent
a lynching. He has never been heard of
since and it is well for him never to
show up again in this locality.

BANKER CowAN ExoNERATED.
Mr.. Cowan Brings Tears to the Eyes
ofthe Jurors.

| The DEMOCRAT mentioned several day,
ago the fact that in the case OF J. L.
Cowan the U. S. grand jury had found
not true bill. Under the above head
Yesterdays Telegram gives the following
interesting account OF the case:
The most important OF the cases of ex-
oneration is thai OF James L. Cowail,
formerly president of the Linn County
National Bank. Mr. Cowan has been
haunting the halls Of the Federal baiid-
ing for week awaiting his opportunity
TO explain TO the grand jury the nature
OF the charges against him. He was ae-
cised of embezzlement, in one ease Of
having taken SIS, coo OF the bank e money,
and al another of having stolen SO, 900.
When at last an opportunity was given
him of testifying, he came before the
jury and delivered himself OF an eloquent
and earnest plea. His explanation was
really a speech, though with unconscious
I effort. He said that he was ruined a. q
result OF the banks failure, that he had
lost $55 600, and was now broken down
physically and financially. According to
the description Of the jurors his talk was
very dramatic, for when he had finished
/ the sad recital of his woe, half the Jurors
were in tears and there we're none whose
eyes were dry. including District A:tor-
ney himself.
Mr. Cowan was indicted By the las.
grand jury when the feeling against Ma
tional banks was running high, Just after
the panic of 1898. No investigation OF
the case was made at that time. He was
not charged with any specific crime,
simply etnbezzlement without descript-
ion OF the amount, time or method ofthe
crime. The Indictment Vas reSu omitted
and the allegation was dismissed by, IL
Is said, unanimous vote Of the jury.

A HrSoRY CouaAR.-I.ast Sunday
morning while Ed. McBee, who resides
near the mouth OF Camp Creek, was out
looking after his stock, he saw large
cougar come out of the brush and try to
catch sheep. 1t was broad daylight,
being about 9 o'clock in tn morning,
and the animal exhibited unusual bold
ness, doubtless because OF great hunger.
Mr.. McBee frightened it away and i'm
mediately went to the house for gun.
He returned just in time to see the cou-
gar make second attempt to catch a
sheep, but without getting shot at it.
This time the animal dragged-the sheep
into the brush but was again frightened
away before it had killed it.-Engene

THURSDAY
Davenport viii Be Discharged.

Judge Bel.inger has set the proper ex'
ample. He is opposed to detectives in
ducing criminals to violate the law in
order to make case. His disposal of the
Davenport case is very interesting piele
of legal proceeding. The Telegram says
"Doc" Davenport, the counterfeiter, lis
one OF the luckiest men that ever came
into the federal court on a criminal
charge. He plead guilty to charge OF
making ''false and forged coins" aud of
having in his possession molds for the
purpose, each OF which constitutes a
crime. And yet he will not be punished.
This morning there appeared in the
United States district court. Attorney
Garland, from Albany, and Mr.. George
Z. Chamberlain, to speak in behalf Of
been admitted to practice in the court,
Mr.. Chamberlain appeared for him and
moved that the plea of guilty be set
aside and jury trial ordered.
Judge Bellinger listened and then ex-
planned that he had called the foreman
of the grand jury, Mr.. L. W. Cornell, be-
fore him to state the character OF the
evidence given in the investigation.
From it he had decided that Davenport
was instigated to manufacture his coun-
terfeiting molds and dollars by Charles
Fresch, who was employed by Special
Treasury Agent Harris, of San Francisco,
who had been detailed to investigate the
source of the counterfeit dollars. with
which Linn county was fioo1ed last fall.
When Davenport came up for sentence
ON Monday, he told Judge Bellinger a
long story of the methods used in con-
yieting him. He claimed that Fresch
had furnished him the money with which
to buy the plaster for the molds and the
solder out of which the coins were made.
Judge Bellinger has evidently come to
the conclusion that Davenport told the
truth.
He said this morning that the case
would be set for trial in its regulur order,
and that he would instruct the jury to
find verdict of not guilty. This will be
done and the coupterieiter who has al
ready acknowledged his guilt, will go
back to his farm in Linn county.

A THREE YEARS RuS.-In an adver.
tisement the Salem Wooden Mills COM
pany boasts with reason as follows: "The
liveliest institution in the Willamette
Valley is the wooden mill OF Salem,
having never stopped day or night, ex-
cept Sunday and holidays for three years
it being the only mill on the Pacific
coast that has run steady and full hand.
ed during the time of financial depress.
ion and paid for every cord OF wood
every pound of wool and every days labor
the moment it was DUE" The reason
for this is the fact that Mr.. Kay is the
best woolen mill man on the coast. He
is business.

A Bottle PICKED UP.-A bottle con-
tanning letter was picked up near the
bar at Astoria on Sunday last by some
fishermen, and turned over to the life
saving crew. 1t was covered with bar
nacles, and had evidently been long
time in the water, but the paper inside
was in a fair state OF preservation. The
communication was addressed to one
Frank Hamilton, and signed by Thomas
Blanche. II was as follows: 1--WE was
drowned in 1882, October 16. Finder
please let my father know. No. 3i4 st.
Georae. Otner men were drowned to
escape the Indians" IT is probably a
fake.

JIM WEsTrALL N SAtEx.--Jim Westfall,
an intelligent Chinaman at Albany was
in Salem this week on business matters.
Westfall speaks English quite fiuensiy.
He is 81 years old and has been in Ore
gon twenty-five years. During the days
OF the construction OF the Oregon Pa
cific railroad he had many contracts for
doing work on the road and the result is
now the Hogg faction owe him about
SIS, 900 which he never expects 10 get,
consequently instead Of being we'll fixed
financially he is now barely making a
living. He is watching the case on ap-
peal in the supreme court thinking that
should the lower court be sustained and
the road pass into the hands OF Messrs
Hammond & Bonner. a portion OF his
money may be paid him.-Statesman.

writes: "His wife SAYS he brought home
some medicine for her and as soon as she
had taken it she knew by the taste of it
that it was poison, and when Towner
came in she told him that it was poison

her that he knew better and that he
would take the rest OF it himself, which
he did, and he died in less than two
