OREGON CLGSE ELECTION
Official Count Necessary to
Decide Congressional
Contests.
Republican Candidates Leaf in Each
District by Very Small
PluralitieS.

PORTLAND, Or, June THE result
of last Mondays State election is yet
in doubt Ali the returns are not in and
it may require an entire recount to deter
mine the Congressional results in the two
districts of this State. In the First Dis
trict all the returns have been made ex-
ccpt from two precincts in Coos County.
For Congress, Tongue (R.) has 1928 votes,
Vanderburg (Pop.) 1924, Myers CD 1920,
Christensen (Middle-of the-Road-Pop.)
1856 The Republican and Populist can
didates are running so closely that only
the official canvass can decide the race.
III the Second DISTRICT, Northup, indie
pendent sound-money candidate, is SO far
behind that he counts for nothing in the
contest The fight is between Ellis, free
silver Republican, and Quinn, Popuiist. In
this dis trict, with returns incomplete, Ellis
comes in with Is, 125 votes and Quinn
follows CLOSELY with Ia, 824 The Populist
feel confident that the official canvass will
seat their man. Should different show
ing be made they will demand recount
of the entire district on the alleged ground
OF fraud.
With respect to the Supreme Judeeship
If is surprising that no reliable figures can
be obtained But the election of Bean (R.)
by handsome plurality is conceded. The
real complexion of the Legislature also
remains in doubt. but from returns so far
received it stands ffty-five Republicans

SANTA CLARA VALLEY CROPS.
Orchards win Yield Fair Returns for the
Season-Dried Fruit Not in
Demand.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June Fruit in the
Santa Clara Valley is developing finely,
and it is now estimated that the crop will
be about as heavy as last year. That on
the old trees equals last years crop, but
the young trees will have light yield.
There may yet be slight dropping OF
French prunes.
Cherries are being picked and shipped,
and both black and white varieties are
very short. Prices are fair. At an auc-
ton sale in Chicago last week $1053 gross
was obtained for 700 ten pound boxes from
San Jose. The prices realized for ten
pound boxes were as follows: Black Tar
tartan 81 40 to 81 so, Bigarreau 81 so, Black
Eagle 81 so, Royal Anne 81 40 to 81 45,
Governor Wood 81 45.
The crop of Royal, Hemskirk and Blen-
helm apricots will be good. AS predicted
earlier in the season, Moorparks will be
light. The peach crop promises we'll and
on account of the late rains and thinning
the fruit will be large. Bartlett pears and
other varieties will be fair. Winter Nelis
pears will be light.
There is no demand for dried fruit. The
stock on hand in the East is very light,
and will be in the channels of trade before
the new crops come in. Consequently
there will be no old stock on hand, and
the market will be in better shape at the
opening of the season than for some time
mast

Los ANGELES GREETING.
Senator White to Be rendered a Mag
nitcent reception.

Sen dtor White to BE rendered Mag
niftcent Reception.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, June IA pre-
iminary meeting was held IN the Chamber
of Commerce building yesterday, under
the auspices of the Free Harbor League,
to devise ways and means for magnifi-
cent reception to United States Senator
Stephen M. White, who will return from
Washington IN time for next Saturday
county convention of his party. The
meeting was strictly non partisan, there
being about the same number of Republi-
cans as Democrats present.
Ex-Mayor w. H. Workman was called
upon to preside. On taking the chair he
paid glowing tribute to Senator White
for his courage, his unf1agging industry on
behalf OF the people and, above all, his
sterling honesty. These sentiments were
applauded to the echo. A general COM
mttee of twenty was appointed to carry
forward the wok.
Pending a motion to invite Senator
George G. Perkins to attend the reception,
President Patterson of the Chamber of
Commerce, who has just returned from the
National capital, paid hattering compIi-
ment to the junior Senator. saying that
he, with singular fidelity, had aided every
effort of Whites in behalf of the people.
The motion prevailed unanimously.
The sensation of the meeting was caused
by the motion of w. NJ. Garland to invite
Representative McLachlan of this district.
The motion came at an awkward time, and
during the tendency of a prior motion,
and for that reason was promptly called
down. Afterward, snd at another very
inopportune time, Mr.. Garland renewed
his motion, but the point was made tina
motion to adjourn had interviewed.

"F1oArERs" ARE CONDEMNED.
Judicial Rebafke to Police Court Officials
EhO ReLease Ofcnders.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June AFTER
disposing of case against one, Payne,
who had been granted what is known as a
"hoater," wherein it was understood that
if petty criminal would leave for greener
fields the penalty for his crimes should not
be enforced, Judge York of the Superior
Court said yesterday:
This is manifestly unjust to other COM
munities, not alone of other States, but of
this State, If one OF these men is thus
driven out of Los Angeles the chances are
that he will remove to Pasadena, Santa
Monica or San Francisco. and in like man
ner subject himself to arrest there and be-
come burden to the people of such place.
] is the duty of every community to take
care of It's own criminals, so far as ex-
tends to their serving their sentences or
inficting upon them punishments for
their crimes. L cannot too strongly con-
denim the conduct of officials who ind uce
accused persons to plead guilty up on
promise that they will be given 'foaters' /;
then if they are subsequently caught
thrust them into Jail to serve out their
sentences thus imposed. Such action
seems to me the essence OF injustice. Laws
of Punishment have never found passage
in the legislation of the United st ates and
/ cannot see why police courts hould as
sumo to institute them and put them into
practice, and that is just what this
'hoater business does"

SONOMA COUNTY'S LOSS
Cannot Recover Money Stolen
by Bandits From Former
TTeaSurerS.
Two Suits Affected ty Supreme Court
Ruling in the Mulligan
Case.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June THE &C.
ton of the Supreme Court in reversing
the decision of Judge Dougherty in the
case of the city of Healdsburg VS.. George
V. MuIIigan and his bondsmen is of great
interest to this county and has direct
bearing upon another Sonoma County case
of greater Importance. Twice within the
past few years public funds have been
stolen in this county and no clew to the
thieves or their booty has ever been dis
covered.
In the fall of 1893 the city treasury OF
Healdsburg was robbed of over $3000
George V. Mulllgan, the Treasurer, was
found tied to tree in the suburbs of the
city, nearly dead from nights exposure.
He claimed to have been inveigled from
his home by two men, who, after forcing
him to deliver the contents of the city S
strong box, tied him securely to the tree.
The unfortunate man never fully recov-
cred from the shock, which, together with
the unjust suspicious of some of his towns
people, seemed to take away all desire for
longer life from the sensitive Treasurer,
and after lingering few months he died
a broken hearted man.
The case of Captain P. N. Stolen, ex-
treasurer of Sonoma County, was some
what similar. lie was fOund locked in the
vault of the Treasurer's Office, and a tray
containing $4,000 in gold cain was missing.
He claimed to have been robbed by q
masked man, who had been concealed in
the office overnight for that purpose.
In each case the bondsmen of the Treas
urer were sued, and it is believed by lead
ing attorneys here that the decision of the
Supreme Court will effectually prevent any
recovery OF the missing amounts.
The cases will probably be pushed, how
ever, which will compel the defendants to
prove a. robbery, the decision being that
the burden of proof is on them.

CHAPTER OF CRIME.
The Body of Sam Mieiandt Found in the
coium5id-EUdence of -Four
KILLINGS.

ASTORIA, Or, June THE third
chapter in the story of the murder of
Esther Loire and her three companions
was developed to-day by the finding of
the body of Sam Mielandt, the woman's
lover, in the Columbia River, opposite
this city. The body was so badly decom-
posed as to be scarcely recognizable, but it
is unques tionably that of Mielandt. A
mum Der of confused wounds on the head
and several cuts on the face told too plainly
that Mielandt had met the same fate as
the Loire woman and Jack" Lambert.
Lambert had been involved in some
trouble with the fisherman near Clifton
over the loss of his boat and net. In COM
pany with Esther Loire, Adolph Con-
younge and Sam Mielandt he left a scow,
in which the tour had been carousing on
the night OF May %, and started down the
river. The latter three were in q fishing
boat which was subsequently found few
miles up the river despatched with blood
and with holes in the bottom. Lambert
had started in the direction of his home in
a skiff.
The finding of the mutilated body of the
woman on the beach, at the eastern ex-
tremity OF this city, a few days later, led
to the belief that she had been murdered
by her lover, but that theory has since
been exploded. The position of the
woman's body was such as to show con-
cusively that she lad been murdered at
or near where the remains lay when dis
covered. A number of large rocks had
been placed on the clothing, evidently to
prevent the body being carried by the
tide.
Lambert's body was picked up twenty
miles farther up the river, and now that
Mielandt's death has been established the
recovery of the body of Gonyounge, the
fourth member of the party, is expected
daily.
Not the slightest clew to the identity of
the murderers has been obtained by the
authorities. Most of the fishermen in the
and all of them when questioned by the
officers professed ignorance of any knowl-
edge Of the manner in which the victims
met their death.

MERGED, CAL. June THE report
that Durham, the murderer of the Nc
Glincy family, was seen ten miles south
east of MERGED on Thursday afternoon was
but partially founded on fact A stranger
called at the Brandon farm that afternoon
and asked for something to eat He was
given meal and left the place, going to
ward the mountains of Mariuosa. The
visitor was dusty ard footsore, having
come in from the direction of Minturn
south of the Brandon place. He was in
ordinary dress and carried chinchilla over
coat of very fine quality. The men who
saw him jumped at the conclusion that he
was the San Jose fugitive, and on the next
day reported the matter to Constable
Mack. The story was so improbable tina t
no official attention was paid to it.
Sheriff Warfeld has been in the vicin-
ity of the place where Durham is reported
to have been seen for nearly week, sub
penang Jurors and witnesses, and no
person answering to the description of
Durham has been seen. The Sheriff had
a photograph and description of the fugi-
tive and was particular to exhibit them at
all wayside inns and farmhouses he
came TO.

and Francis Clarno, an owner of
silver mines in Eastern Oregon, held
forth last evening at the Baldwin,
and labored hard to convince the
Republicans and the honest money
Democrats that the poor silver mine
owners should be allowed to have the
government put stamp upon fifty
three cents worth of silver reciting
that the same contained one dollars
worth of silver. Mr.. Clarno did
not appear to have been starved by
the fact that the mints are not per-
mltted to coin his silver at the ex-
pense of the rest of us.
