certained that it was a shed that his
trampship had been sleeping in for the
past decade. The graybacks showed
fight by being forced from their com
Portable quarters, but there happened tt
be some men present possessing unusual
nerve, who proved themselves equal tt
the emergency. The loss by fire has moi

JUDGE GRAY INDICTED.
Charged with Carrying = Concealed
Weapon.

Charged With Carrying = Concealed
Weapon.
Astoria, Or, Oct. 5.-This afternoon
the grand jury returned an indictment
against County Judge Gray on charge
of carrying concealed weapon. The
complaining witness was John Stephen
son, one Of the witnesses for the de.
fense in the case Of the Uniontown
rioters. The incident that led to the
complaint against Gray occurred in the
early part Of August, during the pre-.
liminary hearing Of the cases against
the alleged rioters, and as the result of
a heated argument between the county
Judge and Stephenson. The latter,
Judge Gray asserted, was endeavoring
to intimidate Jacob jackson, the prin-
Opal witness against the alleged
rioters. Hot words followed, and
Judge Gray exposed a six-shooter.
Judge Gray contends that he is q
peace officer, and rs such has a right
to carry a weapon; furthermore, that
he had received threatening letters a
short time previous to his dispute with
Stephenson.

New York, Oct. g. 5--Nicola Tesla
has explained the principles Of the cleo
trical oscillator for which he has just
obtained patert. He has been work
ing on the idea for ten years.
''The object Of my oscillator, }" said
Mr.. Tesla, lis to provide a simple,
compact and effective apparatus for
producing greater effects with existing
circuits carrying direct currents. Prac.
tical electricity is too expensive. 1t
must be cheapened SO the multitude
may have advantage Of it. That is all
am aiming at
my new invention is simply this;
In any given circuit / interpose de.

order to give the circuit high self-in'

troller that may be operated to make
and break the circuit. Around the
point Of interruption ! place conden-
ser to store the energy Of the discharge
current, and in series with such con
denser place transformer which be-
comes the source Of currents Of higl
frequency.
Inasmuch as the self-induction o.

ser discharges, as we'll as the capacity
