If il wasn't for the fact that JUS
tice is no fool, we would believe it
had been after the idiotic edito, of
the Newport "Snooze." A short
time ago the LEADER published a
rumor about Ed. Sullivan, and the
News man had a holy fit of horrors
about it, and in its very next issue
it killed and buried Warren Cressy,
formerly of Newport. in its news
items. Mr.. Cressv insists that he
is very much alive, but that makes
no difference to the ''Snooze" man.
Wonder if Matthews mind was
deceased" when he wrote the
item? The reason we admit that
justice was not after the "Snooze"
editor was because justice is no fool
and don't believe in a chase where
it gets nothing after it catches the
object 1t was chasing.

THE O. c. & E. TO BE EXTENDED.

Mr.. A. B. Hammond in an inter-
view with an Oregonian reporter
stated the o. c. & E. would posi-
lively be extended over the noun
tains within a year. This is glor-
ious news for Central Oregon. 1t
means that the harbor will be fur
Their improved, and that this road
will become what it was intended
that it should be. Mr.. Hammond
never blows about what he is going
to do, but does what he says he
will. When he says that he will
extend the road, we have no further
doubts abont the matter. The va
quina Bay country is all right.

ALLEN LOGAN ACQUITTED.
The Jury Returned a Verdict of ''Not
GUILTY. after About Twelve
Hours DeliberatiOn.

Allen Logan is a free man, OF
, boy, again. His trial on the charge
of killing Enoch Sylvester in the
hopyard row at Independence re-
suited in a verdict of mot guilty.
and Allen Logan was allowed to
depart from the court room with
the bonds of the law stripped from
him.
The indictment found by the
grand jury was for murder in the
first degree. The trial upon this
charge was begun on Thursday at
I o'clock, and lasted until Friday
night. The trial was hard fought
throughout, by both the State and
the defense. About thirty witness
ses were examined in the case,
about an equal number tor each side,
though several of the witnesses
were called for both sides.
The defense set up no particular
theory. The state had made a
charge of murder in the first degree
and it devolved upon it to make
good the charge that Logan had
killed the deceased in cold blood.
As usual in such cases there was
much conflicting testimony. The
alteration in which the nan lost
his life occurred at dusk, and in the
crowd present there were two other
fights going on at the same time.
The testimony of the physicians
who made the postmortem exam
nation was that the blow on the
side of the head caused the death,
while the testimony of all the wit
nesses but II was that Logan
struck the man on the back of the
head. There was much testimony
concerning the fight, a great deal
of which was conflicting.
After the testimony was all in
Judge Whitney, of Albany, made
the opening address for the State.
He followed by Judge McFadden
of Corvallis, and Judge Weather
ford, of Albany, for the defense.
Prosecuting Attorney Hayden
closed for the State.
Judge Burnett's instructions to
the jury were very liberal to the
defense. Tihe court flushed It's in
structions at about 8 O'Clock D. NJ.
Friday, and the jury retired 10
find a verdict. An agreement was
not reached by the jury until about
8 O'Clock the next morning. The
jury then notified the Judge that
they had agreed upon a verdict,
which wa at once read in open
court, and the verdict was mot
guilty. 1t is understood that all
the time the jury disagreed it stood
ten for acquittal and two for con-
viction.
During the trial the defendant
was calm and collected, apparently
not realizing the enormity of the
crime of which he was charged.
When the indictment for murder in
the first degree was returned by
the grand jury, his father delivered
Allen up to the sheriff and the lat
ter put him at once into Jail. yet he
did not break down in any manner.
Many expess surprise that the
defendant was acquitted without
the defense showing who or what
did kill Sylvester. This is not Pc
cuiiar. 1t devolved upon the pros
ecution to prove beyond a reason
able doubt that the blow struck by
Allen Logan killed the man. This
the State failed to do to the s~atisfac-
OF the jury, and the verdict was an
acquittal.

Dear Sir - Speculation has

since Friday, but notwithstand-
ing this. prices have advanced
Slightly on the near positions
while the late remain practi-
cally unchanged. The Missis-
sippi river situation shows no
improvement, and the same
fear continues to predominate
that additional breaks i'm the
levees are apt to take place at
any moment. Spinners are still
in the market and buy spots
freely whenever amy desirable
lots are9 offered. Even though
the demand for spots Is good,
advices from Manchester are to
the effect that business is small,
and prices for yarns and cloths
are dwindlinc constantly.
Northern spinners, however,
report a gradual diminishment
of their stocks. but the prices
realized were not encouraging.
From their standpoint they re-
gard the question of stocks as
| being in much more favorable
condition now than at any time
since 1S95. The Cretan imbro.
Clio influenced prices adversely
for a short period, when it wa:
ascertained that actual fighting
on the Thessalian frontier was
going or. That feature from
present indications, has beer
entirely discounted, a. far a:
cotton is concerned, and doe:
not seem TO have any influence
on prices either way.

nevertheless, we think prices

A RACING STAR.

Chicago. April 13.-All the
papers contain long accounts of
a brilliant sight in the heavens
last night. which was viewed by
thousands of people and was
thought 10 be- the much talked
OF airship. But it has been
identified aS fast travelling
star, we'll known but never be-
fore a. brilliant as it has been
of late. \ local paper says:
When Alpha Orenois. a star
of the first magnitude, appeared
in the eastern heavens last
night, many residents of Chi
cago and suburbs thought the
Karsas airship was paying
them a visit. Professor Hough
OF the Northwestern university
solved the mystery, however,
by proving scientifically the
identity Of the star aud ex-
planning that it i a fast travel
er and gives out colored light.
This explanation may solN G the
mystery of the strange visitor
above Western states.
High over the tallest build
ings of the city last night a
strange light CLEANED and
moved and was stared at by
thousands of people in the
streets and on the housetops,
who said il was the Kansas air
ship.
Evanston and other towns IN
Illinois and Wisconsin brought
information of a strange celes-
tial visitor, which was believed
TO be the same that has startled
the people of Kansas of nights
for more than a week. I'm the
face of these reports it was easy
for the multitudeS OF curious
people to believe the double
green light which hung in the
armament in the Northeast was
the searchlight of the airshiI
which began lis nightly tour:

DUNNS REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, July 30.-Dun's review
saws: Dispatches from almost every
northern city of Importance report
without exception improvement In
business and from Detroit to Seattle
and Portland splendid crop prospects:
The task of adjusting the business ana
industries of the country to conditions
created by a new law has progressed
with gratifying rapidity and ease.
Delay in the iron industry Is partly
because wages have not been settled
at all works, and partly because
steadily rising demand does not yet
raise prices. In some products prices
are a shade lower, Notwithstanding a
larger demand, owing to competition
between works, but Bessemer Is a
shade higher. In structural work,
plates. sheets and bars for the en-
ormous operations Of agricultural i'm
plement works, the demand increases,
and for rolling stock owing to the
abundance OF crops.
Failures for the week have been 236
in the United States against PSI last
year. and % in Canada against 40 last
year.

FOUL AIR
In a Tunnel Causes the Death of One
Man and the Dangerous Illness OF
Others.

Special TO the Register.
Hinton, w. Va, July S0.-A fearful
accident occurred in Lewis tunnel,
about fifty miles east of this city yes
terday evening about o'clock, in
which Conductor Edward Bray lost
his life and three others are in a pre-
carious condition. A west-bound
freight train stalled when about hall
way through the tunnel. Conductor
Bray stumbled out of the caboose and
started for the engine, to find out the
trouble. He was overcome by the gas
and fell in a stupor. When the train
cleared the tunel and Bray was missed
by the other members OF the crew, d
searching party consisting OF Brake
men Sam Hamilton and Ed. Womack
and Fireman Thomas Dainwood, went
back to the tunnel TO look for him.
AS soon as they struck the foul air
they were also overcome. The n
gineer. after waiting a reasonable
time and not hearing anything from
them. cut his engine loose from the
train and started back to look for the
crew. Hamilton had fallen across the
track and was struck by the engine,
breaking his back. The engineer sue
ceeded in loading them on the en-
CINE together with Bray, and brought
them out. Bray died in about five
minutes after he was rescued. They
we're all brought to their homes in
Hinton last night. Dainwood- and
Womack will recover.
