SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Two PendIeton Pleasure Seekers
Badly Hurt.

Two FendletOn Pleasure OeeheTS
Badly Hurt.
Mics Katherine Parsons and j. A.
Cheape were injured in runaway ac-
cident at Camas Prairie last Saturday.
Just how seriously has not been ascer-
tanned, James Manion, who came in
from Camas Prairie Sunday morning,
gives the following particulars, as told
him by a party who came from the
springs where the party, of whom Miss
Parsons and Mr.. Cheape were members,
are camped.
Mr. Cheape took with him to the
mountains spirited saddle horse.
Wishing to take buggy ride he har-
messed the animal and hitched him to
Miss Woodruff's buggy. 1t seems the
horse had never been used in this man
ner, but when driven about by Mr..
| Oheape. seemed to conduct himself all
right and subsequently Miss Parsons got
into the buggy with Mr.. Cheape and
they drove away. After they had
travelled some distance and were descend
ing a hill the horse became unmanage-
able and ran away. At the foot OF the
hill the buggy smashed into log and
both occupants were dashed to the
ground. Both were rendered unconscious
by the fall and remained in that condi-
ton for at least two hours.
Miss Parsons was carried to camp on a
stretcher and was unable to move at
last accounts. Mr.. Cheape was also bad
ly hurt.
A son of @. E. Hoover discovered the
injured ones lying by the buggy which
was badly broken up. Mr.. Cheape was
just regaining consciousness as he came
along
DR.. Alexander of Ukiah was sent for
and after examination stated that no
bones Of either party were broken.
Mrs. COL Parsons, was badly frightened
when she fret heard of the accident,
but is consoliDg herself today with the
belief that inasmuch as no one has come
in from there with further news, the in

The Sands Case.

When passing upon Inc motlon Tor
new trial in the case of the State of
Kansas against Ed. Sands, charged
with rape, Judge GeIger said, after
listening to the arguments of County
Attorney w II. Pratt for the state aud
N. b. Mccormick for the defense:
The Individual who thinks that a
court does not appreciate the great
responsibility resting upon him in
passing upon such matters as this, liz,
sometimes think, unworthy of being
classed among human kind. When l
hear individuals come from a court
room and condemn a court because he
has not ruled in accordance with their
ideas, while it cannot but cause pain,
at the same time it causes me to think
that that individual does not know
that his fellow men are human; when
/ hear as earnest pleas as those to-
night on behalf of the defense as we'll
as the State, land the State means 90
clety) sometimes feel that those In
dividuals do a great injustice to a
court. 1t would not be so, possibly,
If he were more than other men, but
he has like feelings and like emotions.
So when those things in which we are
all interested are called up, our feel
ings are worked upon.
That it is pleasure to any court to
lnfict punishment upon an individual
convicted of an offense, l do not be-
lieve there is any one 80 inhumsn as
for a moment to believe or think.
There never yet has been an individ-
ual whom it has been my lot to pro.
nounce sentence upon but for whom 1
have felt, within myself, the greatest
pity. There never yet has been q
time, though the proof showed beyond
any question that he was guilty, but
that sympsthized with that individ-
ual because he was so unfortunate as
to allow his feelings, in a moment Of
forgetfulness, to get the better of him,
thus placing himself In a position
where it was a duty devolving upon
me to vindicate the law.
/ realize the fact that in such cases
as these the question ia between two
individuals. The question for the jury
is whether or not they believe this or
that one. l have frequently thought
there might not be such preponder-
ance where ones testimony stands as
against the other, but our supreme
court has said that there is. Our su-
preme court has said that 1t is ques-
ton Of fact for the jury to determine
whether or not the proof is sufficient
to sustain verdict of guilty.
In this particular case, as stated,
we have the testimony of the injured
party as against the defendent here
1t is true there is no specific day
proven beyond any question. It is
also true that under the law, (which /
do not believe Is questioned by either
the defense or the State) that if the
proof warranted, the jury could fud
that 1t had occurred any time within
two years next preceding the filing Of
the complaint, and any time within
that period would comply with the
law
We all appreciate the fact that we
would rather have the approval Of
our fellow men, yet, for the purpose
of discharging a duty IN connection
with an official transaction, it is a
matter Of utter indifference TO me
