The city water.

The Mountaineer is little hasty in
ascribing the cause of the typhoid lever
to our drinking water. Such Is not be-
lieved to be the fact on the part of those
who should be best informed. How
ever, to satisfy the sentiment which has
been engendered on account of the arti-
Gle, the mayor this morning appointed
Marshal Lauer and Water Supt. Norman
to ascend Mill creek to the source of the
supply at Mesplie's, four and a half
miles up the creek, and to go on up the
stream beyond the farthest settlement.
Mr.. Norman assures us that the water
when it enters the pipe at Mesplie's is
pure, sweet and abundant. A report to
the contrary, originating in the city, is
productive of much damage. If the
truth could be known it might be found
that the pools left by the river, receding
more slowly than ever before known,
vitiased the atmosphere by the un-
healthy decaying matter left therein.
This is believed by many to be the real
cause of the trouble.

William Henry Lochhead died at
II :45 last evening, after an illness of
eight days with typhoid fever.
Though Mr.. Lochhead's death seemed
to be almost certain for the two days
previous, valiant fight has been made
by the nurse and doctors in attendance
at his bedside. The contest with death
has been fought inch by inch, aided by
the powerful constitution of the patient,
but the struggle was unavailing. He
may have realized his approaching end
from the last remark he made to those
watching at his bedside short time be-
tore breathing his last, when he said he
felt his strength failing. There we're
present besides Mrs. johnson. the nurse,
Messrs. Ralph Gibbons, Frank Aber-
nethy and M. McInnis.
Mr.. Lochhead was a descendant of one
of the first families of England. His
British government, in the squadron on
the Atlantic seaboard, and was stationed
at Charlotte, Prince Edward island. Mr..
Lochhead was born in London, but was
taken by his father to Charlotte, and
where our deceased townsman spent his
boyhood. He was married about 1876 to
Miss Mabel Burke at Charlotte. He
came to The Dalles in the fall of 1887,
accepting position in Moody's ware
house and two or three years later en-
gagged in the business in which he was
occupied at the time of his death. He
was prominent Mason. His mother is
yet living, and has been telegraphed to
regarding the disposition of the body

Death Of John A. Gray.

A brief telegram in Thursdays Ore
gonian announced the death at Marsh
field. Coos county, of John A. Gray,
who was we'll known in Portland several
years ago, when pastor of the First Bap-
tist church. Mr.. Gray had been in pre-
carious health for about two years, and
his death resulted from aneurism of the
heart. He came to Oregon again in
1880, and took charge of a church at The
Dalles, where he renamed until call
was sent to him from the First Baptist
church of Portland, which he accepted.
Mr.. Gray was a commanding figure in
the pulpit. His sermons were some
thing entirely new to the staid members
OF the church. but his wonderful COM
mand of words, and his oratory, filled
every seat in the house morning and
evening. AS in other places, the church
edifice had to be enlarged to accommo-
date the great crowds that focked to
hear him every Sunday night. Or
leaving the pastorate of the Portland
church, Mr.. Gray again abandoned the
ministry and returned to the law.

position in advocating with all his tre-

to show 10 your satisfaction that during
these years he has not Kept for sale and that
he has not sold Intoxicating liquor In the
Van Ness house or elsewhere, and that, aside
from liquor usual and necessary for culinary
purposes and used for such purposes only,
that he has neither bought nor owned any
intoxicating liquor whatsoever. 1t viii APP
pear that during these years Mr.. Woodbury.,
owing to his ineXperience In hotel matters
and his being engaged In other large and en-
crossing business enterprises, has intrusted
the management of his hotel, in almost
every instance, TO old and experienced hotel
men; that his Instructions to his managers
ut all times were fully In accord with the
resolution which he adopted at the outset,
and that his managers In good faith have en-
deayored to carry out those instructions. 1t
has been inevitable that during IA years UNI
der review the guests, numbering hundreds
OF thousands, with their variety of tastes and
habits, should in some instances baye brought
liquor with them to the Van Ness house, and
in other instances should have procured it to
be brought to them by others, but we expect
TO satisfy you that The facts and crcum-
stances regarding those transactions attached
no responsibility, either legal or moral, to
Gov. Woodbury."
The defendants opening statement was
made by Mr.. PrOuty, thus:-
Il don't know, if the court please, that il
is material to state at this time what the posi-
ton of the defendant is-the claim of the
defendant as to the facts Is already known to
the plaintiff by reason of the dispositions
which have been taken, hut, stated in word,
we claim this: That we have shown that
liquor has been furnished to the guests of the
Van Ness house every day and on an average
many times eiery day for the last II years;
that it has been furnished, to some extent,
with the knowledge of Gov. Woodbury.;
that it has been furnished to the full extent
with the knowledge of the men whom he has
put and left in charge of that property, and
we claim that If man buys hotel, as he did
the Van Ness house, and puts men In charge
of 1t, he is, under the statute of Vermont,
responsible for the acts of those men, what
ever they may be. He cannot take the profit
and say that he didn't know anything about
it; he is responsible for the management of
that house and for every incident that goes
with it; that. in word, is the position of
the defendant. So far as this occasional
bringing in of liquor by guests is concerned,
we don't rely on that. We shall undertake to
slow you that every day, in the language of
this article nights and days. week days and
sundays intoxicating liquor has been fur
nshed in that hotel"
A statement signed by Mr.. Prouty in be-
half of the HERALD, involving certain facts
as to publication, etc, was read by Mr..
Foster. Copies of the HERALD were put in
and some other matters, and the plaintiff
rested his case.

O. This, you are sure, was last September:
A. am sure it was September-it may
have been the latter part of August.
Q. But this last August? A. Yes; | can
tell by looking it up.
@. You think that was subsequent to the
time when this suit was brought: A. Yes,
sir.

OPENING OF THE TRIAL.
The Case Comes on at Burlington
Tuesday, April rs.

BY agreement between the parties, and ac-
cording to an understanding as to the time the
judges could be present, the trial was set for
April IS, 1896, and at . O'Clock in the after
noon of that day it accordingly began in the
Burlington court house. Chief Justice Ross
and Judges Rowell and Tyler were present
as arbitrator, while Gov. Woodbury. had as
attorneys representing him d. j. Foster
and Seneca Heseluon of Burlington and eX-
Gov. Dillingham; of Waterbury, and
the HERALD had G.. A. Prouty
of Newport, c. NJ. Wids of
w. d. Stewart of Bakersfield. j. C. Jones
of Rutland, who had been active on the part
of the HERALD in preparing the case, was
unable to be present because of official duty
in Rutland as states attorney.
The trial was opened by Mr.. Foster, who
read he agreement for reference of the case
and the declaration in the suit. Mr.. Prouty
read the the HERALD's answer in the suit
and made some suggestions in respect TO an
amendment. After discussion of this matter
Mr.. Foster made the opening statement, as
follows:-
"If your hOnors please, the method
adopted by the parties to this cause renders
any opening statement-detailed opening
statement-unnecessary but it may not be
improbable to state briefly the substantial
facts which we expect the plaintiffs evil
dence will develop. We expect that it vii
appear from this evidence that II years age
when Gov. Woodbury., then a private eiti
zen, bought the Van Ness house, he adopted
| the resolution that he would not sell or traffic
| in Intoxicating liquor; that he was prompted
to this by motives affecting him rs man, a
a citizen and as the father of a family; an,
that that resolution and those motives hav'
| remained with him during the intervenin.
| years unimpaired, and that he has, to th'
best of his ability, managed the Van Nes
house In accordance herewith. We expec
