LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 26.-Early

phone message from Deputy Sheriff Will

He Hopes Through the Marriage
to Kill an Indictment
Against Him.
THREE ANGRY BIG BROTHERS.
They Vow Vengeance on Their New
Relative Should They Ever
Meet Him.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 26. - Monday
night r. Baney Matthews, Roseburg tin
horn gambler, 40 years of age, eloped with
Oracle Smith, the 16-year-old daughter of
respectable pioneer family of that place.
They were married at Vancouver and are
at the Hotel Perkins here. Matthews has
twice before had wives. the first woman
dying and the second securing a divorce.
His habits of life are such as to ostracise
him from association with good people.
He is at present under $4,000 bonds to
answer to an indictment found by Grand
Jury charging him with criminal assault
upon the child now his wife. The in
ference is that through this marriage Mat
thews expects 70 kill the indictment.
However, there are forces other than the
law that r. Baney Matthews has yet to
deal with. His girl-wife is the youngest
of six children, and aside from the vener-
able father of Oracle, ex-Judge Thomas
Smith, there are three stalwart men to
whom Matthews has yet to account. They
are the three brothers of his wife, and if the
information of J. B. Beckley, son of Sena-
tor Henry Beckley, Is correct Matthews
may expect to receive handling from his
brothers-in-law that will go far toward
dulling the edge of pleasure incident to
his third plunge into the matrimonial sea.
Mr.. Beckley said this morning: "The
family Is heartbroken over the action of
their baby girl, and have the sympathy of
every man and woman in Southern Ore
gon irrespective of station or profession.
But there is O stronger element in the
Smith family than the old folks, and that
is the brothers and male relatives Of
Oracle. Already these men are prepared
for action, and make no idle speech
when 1 say woe be unto Matthews should
he dare to show his face in Roseburg with
the child bride he has stolen away"
''The man has been twice married ,and to
think that his eyes should light upon but
mere child for a satiation of his animal
instinct, never giving thought TO the
ruin and sorrow that would follow his act,
IL seems as though reparatlon must follow.
Oracle was led away by iattery, her giddy
young head being turned by the smooth,
suave speech of Matthews. A one stroke
she has separated herself from father,
mother and home, and for what?-to be-
come the wife of q man twenty years older
than she, who married her to save himself
from the criminal prosecution hanging
over his head"
Mr.. Beckley states that the people of
! Roseburg are worked up to such pitch
over the elopeTnent that, even should the
brothers of the girl not act, it is more than
! likely the citizens would make demon
stration should Matthews return.

to beat down all opposition and to
win for himself the exalted honor OF
a nomination for President OF the
United States.
When the few Republicans drew
out of the st. Louis Convention we
applauded the act, for we construed
the platform adopted there to be not
only violation of faith, and tue di-
rect sacrifice of a mighty principle,
but it was a defiance insolently given
by the classes to the masses.
This being our view we can see no
course to pursue except to urge the
election OF such electors as will cast
their votes for Bryan for President.
But while doing this, we also believe
that a protective tariff is a necessary
adjunct 10 the silver cause, and ad-
yocate the maintenance of the Re
publican State organization, and the
election of a Congressman and Sen
ator who are favorable to a probec-
tive tariff.
