FRED McMURRAY GOES FREE.
The Trial Jury Hangs and He Is Re.
leased without bonds.

Fred McMurray again breathes
the air of freedom after a confine-
ment in the Benton county Jail for
six months, and a trial by a Jury of
twelve citizens of Lincoln county.
McMurray's trial began on Tues
day afternoon before the following
jury: Allen Parker, I. J. P, pin, ].
b. White, Dan Murphy, Frank
Grant, Albert Chitwood, ]. N. Ar
mold, Frank Tillotson, Robt. Har-
rison, ]. M. Bowers, Ira Miller and
Arthur Marks. The state was rep
resented by District Attorney Yates
and Judge Hufford was appointed
by the court to defend McMu1ray.
The principal witness for the
State was Jas. Patterson, and to
say the least, his testimony was
very weak, and he was regarded by
most of the jurors as we'll as the
most of those in the court room
who heard the testimony, as an ac-
complice in the crime. Outside of
Patterson's there was no direct evil
dence tending to convict McMur-
ray of the crime charged against
him. The case was submitted to
the jury about ten O'Clock Wednes-
day morning, and the general pre-
diction was that the jury would
hang or acquit. After being out
several hours the jury came in for
further instruction. This the court
gave them, and they again retired.
At about ten O'Clock Wednesday
night the jury reported that there
was no probable chance of YER
dict being agreed upon, and the
court discharged them.
The ballot in the jury room at
the last stood nine for acquittal and
three for conviction.
Thursday morning tine case came
up again and was continued for the
term, McMurray being released up
on his own recognizance. This is
equivalent to a dismissal of the
indictment, as 1t is not at all prob
able that the defendant will be here
next term of district court.

A UNlFYIN0 MEASURE.

If anything farther was needed
to draw silver men and all others
who oppose any contraction of our
circulating medium together the
Gage bill fills the want.
This monstrosity of goldbugism
that proposes to call in all green
backs, paying for them in new
bonds with interest attachments,
has unified all shades of opposition
to the single gold standasd which
shows to what extremes il would
force the country if it had the
power.
The Mckinley administration is
attempting policy that the party
responsible for its existence did
not dare even to hint of prior TO
the election. And that party must
soon iace the people at the polls in
the state of Oregon. What answer
will the people give to the PROPOSE
tion to further contract our circu-
lating medium to the extent OF
nearly $3.50, ,ooo, ,oool And all in
the Interest of the money power
that is hungry for more bonds.
Such startling proposition can
not but unite all opponents of the
single gold standard. democrats,
populists and silver republicans in
one mass, marching under a COM
mon banner.-Eugene Guard.

The report Of the majority of the
senate committee on privileges and
elections, in the Corbett case, has
been presented TO the senate by SEN
ator Caffery. The committee rec
commended that Corbett be not
given a seat in the senate. The
Oregon legislature, the report says,
deliberately refused to perform any
of the functions with which it was
charged, one Of the most important
being the election Of a successor to
Senator Mitchell, and all precedents
are against the seating ofappointee,
when a legislature has had an
opportunity to elect.

URGED HER TO SUICIDE.
Charge That q Preacher Gave His Wife
Her Choice, Poison and q Pistol,
~ u Measure OF Death.

Chicago. Aug. l6.-The alternative
of poison or revolver with which to
end her life was offered by Rev.
Flavius J. Brobst, the preacher and
lecturer, to his wife, Mrs. Julia Z.
Brobst, according to bill for divorce
filed in the superior court by
Mrs. Brobst. The wife alleges
in her bill that she choose
laudanum as the means with which
to commit suicide, and that her life
was only saved after she swallowed
the drug by the circumstance of her
having consumed a quantity of milk,
which ameliorated its effects. Dur
ing the time Mrs. Brobst was un-
conscious from the effect of the
drug, a period of about 81 hours
as stated in the bill, Mrs. Brobst
alleges that her husband, according to
what he later told her, preached two
sermons. She also charges her hus-
band with squandering her property.
There has been trouble between Brobst
and his wife for long time.
