when Capt. John Blake kicked his
cook off the Walluski several years
ago, and took him up and gave
him free grub for six months and
helped into employment. Second,
when a week after the creation OF
Lincoln county 1 helped Mr.. Stew
art start the LEADER under his
solemn promise that he and his pa
per would work in the interest OF
Toledo. But when he is for econ
omy and reform he means economy
and reform for Stewart, and In this
line he is not always consistent. l
want to qualify these remarks by
saying that respect a christian
more than any other person II
think he is honest. Mr.. Stewart
is an official in the Methodist
church of this city and he also pos
es as a reformer and prohibitionlst.
He has written many articles on
the subject of giving whisky to the
the Indians, and denounced those
who sell or give whisky to Indians
in very harsh terms. Notwithstand-
ing all this, he last January accept
ed the sum of $25 from a well
known canneryman in this county
who had been guilty of letting the
Indians have whisky, and Tor this
paltry sum closed the columns OF
the LEADER and agreed to go to
the Siletz to use his influence to

you are being humbugged. Look
the council records Over for yonr-
self it is only block from the bust
ness part of town to the recorders
office, go and examine these records
and judge of the present council as
the records stand, not by street lies
then go and vote TO snit yourself.
If you are voting the reform ticket,
as you say to spite Jones, be sure
you are spiting him. Jones is not
running for Office. Jones is only
one OF the seven men who compose
the council. Jones does not claim
TO have any strings on the present
council, the reform ticket or the
men who are running on the regu-
lar citizens ticket. Now if It is
Jones you are after and YOU ack-
nowledge it is, why don't you 60
alter Jones and let up ON the best
little town in Oregon. Don't you
know you are killing it. Don't
you know that it needs your help?
Don't you know that if you had
spent half the time and energy
trying 10 build up Toledo thai you
have trying to pull Jones down
that your town would be better off.
In conclusion we will say that we
are willing for majority rule and
we are certain that whoever is
elected that Toledo will still be in
the race.

the appeal in the supreme court
Hale won the suit, and the costs
were taxed to Jones, but the man
date of judgement was never filed
IN Lincoln county until few DAYS
before Jones gave the city deed
to lot. had made an abstract
for Mr.. Sturdevant only a short
time before the city deed was filed
and no judgement was of record
against Jones. Therefore the only
parties who knew of this Judge
ment were Stewart and the clerk,
and If Mr.. Stewart knew of this he
should have protected the city.
The City asked for bids for a lot
for a city hall, and. a block for
city park. When the bids were
opened III public-a newspaper re-
porter being present-there were
five or SIX bids in each instance,
and the property bought was taken
because it was the lowest bid, ex-
cepting that Jones had in an offer
to donate to the city an acre for
park purposes as he had heretofore
donated block for the public
school. When the lot was bought
the recorder was ordered to examine
the records before accepting the
deeds. We will add further that
Mr.. Bensell has written me that
the judgment will be settled, if not
by himit will be by me.
In all the talk by the reformers
in the coming election, the only
name mentioned is Jones. Now in
all candor I submit that this is a
direct insult to the IL councilmen
who have served with me during
the past three years, for as matter
OF fact the mayor has no vote in the
council, and I defy anyone to
examine the city records and find
where single ordinance or reso-
luton has been passed when there
was not a full vote and also an
unanimous vote of the body present
made by ayes and nays. The only
money ever expended by the coun-
Gil that any citizen might question
was done when two of these re-
formers were in the council, and
J. F. Stewart was recorder and
asked leave of the chair to talk on
the subject as citizen, aud when
allowed made a speech in the
interest of the expenditure. But
then l suppose Mr.. Stewart will
say that this money was spent in
interest of county seat, and was for
economy and reform. Boys come
up to the rack and take your medi-
cine you know when you say reform
you do not mean one word of it.
You know that in a city that has
only total indebtedness Of $3.50
and OWLS two thousand dollars
worth of property, and when there
has never been over two mill tax
on the dollar levied, that there can
be no reform needed. And you
know that all there is in this propo-
sition is that you have political
grudge against Jones, and you
haven't the honest manhood to
acknowledge it. You would sooner
do him dirt over the Cities fair
name than to acknowledge that
every American citizen had the
right to his own political convic-
tions, and you would rather see the
city sink than to acknowledge that
all there is in this proposition is
that you have petty grudge
against Jones, and you try to make
an issue over his head. Some OF
you on the reform ticket have been
running for city, precinct and county
offices for ten years, some times on
/ one ticket and then on another but

keep certain Indians from prosecut-
Ing said canneryman.
The article published over nv
signature in the LEADER last week
was by me handed to Mr.. Davis on
Monday morning for publication,
after 1t had been submitted to a
number of citizens of Toledo, ask.
Ing them IT there was anything in
1t that was not true, if so 1 would
not publish it. This article in some
manner was seen or its contents
tol" to Mr.. Stewart, for on Tues
day evening Mr.. Stewart took the
train and went to Yaquina and to a
prominent citizens boarding house
and hunted him up and asked for
a private talk with him, which was
granted. He thereupon informed
the citizen that if he did not go to
Toledo on the morning train and
have Jones take down that article
that he (Stewart) had it in his
power to fix him and Jones, both,
financially. Said that he and the
county clerk and an attorney had
been looking up records for a
month and they found that he and
Jones had several mortgages that
were due and that the papers in
one suit were in the hands of an at
torney and would be served imme-
diately if that article was not taken
down, and other suits would follow,
among which he, Stewart, the Co.
Judge, would have to pass on, and
it was a matter of $500 to him and
Jones and might hurt a prominent
citizen of Newport, and he, as
Judge of the Probate court, would
not promise how it would 60 if the
article was not taken down, also
told him he had been offered $3.50
by the old county court and part of
the county printing if he would
stand in and help fix Jones. Said
he had some of the records locked
up in his desk that would fix tones
and he would do it if he did not
take down that article. The citi-
zen told Mr.. Stewart if be wanted
the article taken down to see Jones,
that Jones was running his own
business, the property he referred
as being in his desk being Warrant
No. 1929, in which mistake had
been made in drawing and after
wards satisfied. This warrant was
paid by the treasurer and should be
in the county clerks vault where
the public could examine it, or any
other matter of record. But prob
ably the Judge thinks it is safer in
his pine desk than it would be in
his pretended fireproof vault. We
would suggest to him that he get a
little red carpet-bag, as part of the
records were carried in one for
about a year, and when the people
meet the Judge they can axamine
the records and not have to bother
about going to the court house.
Think of man posing as a reform
er who will go to man and ask
him to spring the lock of the City
Recorders desk in his absence, in
order that man may bring an i'll
junction before his own court to
stop street work in the town he is
trying to reform, passing upon the
Injunction in advance. This was
so cold blooded that the party who
was seeking the injunction went tc
the mill and bought his lumber and
ordsred the marshal IN 90 ahead
with the work, and this is the suit
that Mr.. Stewart is threatening the
city with, in the interest of reform
and economy. 1 wass told today

to the city was not good, that

QUAIL TRAPPERS.
Game Warden Helms Breaks Up a
Nefarious Business.

Game Warden Helms returned yes
terday from the southern end Of the
county, where he had been on still
hunt for quail trappers. Quails have
become quite numerous down in that
section. and having heard that parties
were trapping the birds, Helms set out
to investigate.
He informed Record Union re-
porter yesterday. that. while on this
trip he. found and destroyed more
quail traps than he had before en-
countered since he took up the duties
of Game Warden. While he did not
detect any person in the act of trap
ping quails. he got so close on their
heels that he is confident they will
quit the business.
Warden Helms had already driven all
the 4-bore and Shore gunner out of

FOR AN INAUGURAL BALL.
CITIZENS MEET AND DECIDE
TO HAVE ONE.
AN Executive Committee to he APP
pointed to Take Charge of
the Matter.

A meeting of citizens was held at the
Golden Eagle Hotel last night, to take
action looking toward an inaugural
ball.
A J. Bruner called the meeting to
order and explained its purpose, and
said he understood that the city had
money appropriated for such purposes,
which the citizens hoped to get.
r. T. Devlin was elected Chairman,
and said it was not only the pleasure
OF. Sacramento to give a ball to the
Governor and other State officials, but
1t was its duty to give them well
come. 1t is the Capital; We ask the
State officers to reside here. This ball
should eclipse all others, but he be-
1ieved a social committee should be
formed to make it pleasant for the
members of the Legislature during
their stay here
G. K. Liprnan was elected Secretary.
r.. d. Stephens said the most inn
portant part was the financial part. A
Finance Committee should be appoint
ed as soon as possible and get TO
work, so as to see how much could
be raised to- operate with. He moved,
with the understanding that he was
not to be a member. that a commit
tee Of five be appointed.
Mr. Bruner thought that larger
committee should be appointed from
which a number of subcommittee
could be made. Hermoved that COM
mittee of twenty-four be appointed
by the Chair, who should be included
in the committee, to take charge OF
the arrangements for the ball.
Mayor Land said he thought the
Mayors functions in the matter were
being taken away from him in thus
taking it out of his hands. Mayor
Steinman had arranged for the last
Inaugural ball, and he had intended
to call a meeting of citizens for the
purpose next week. In regard to the
money, he did not think the commit
tee could get it, as the city has no
money
Mr.. Bruner said he had understood
that the city had money for such pur-
poses, and as the Mayor would be
asked, in conjunction with the Trus-
tees, to contribute it, he thought that
fact would disqualify him from taking
an active part in the matter.
Mr.. Devlfn said he was sorry to see
any feeling in the matter. He had
been told the Mayor was disqualified
from acting by the circumstances OF
the case AS for himself, it made no
difference to him. He simply wanted
to work for the best success of the
movement.
Mr. Bruner. said that Mayor Stein
man was the only one who had taken
action regarding a ball., Previous to
that time. the citizens had always
done so.
Mr.. Stephens withdrew his motion,
and the motion Of Mr.. Bruner was
carried.
The Chair stated that he wished a
little time in which to choose the
committee, and would announce it in
day or two, and the meeting ad-
Sourned to the call of the Chair.

Charged With Criminal Assault on

The trial of G. B. Henry, charged
with criminal intercourse with Grace
Finch, a thirteen -year-old girl, was
commenced in Judge Hart's court yes
terday. District Attorney Ryan ap-
pears for the people, and Hiram w.
Johnson for the defendant.
Z The chief features of the case, SO far
as the allegations of the prosecution
are concerned, are that Henry induced
the girPs father to let her live with
him and his wife as their own child,
Finch and his wife having separated;
that while the girl was living with
them Henry took her to this city and
had criminal intercourse with her.
This much and more the girl herself
testified to on the stand. She told her

On cross-examination she admitted to
Mr.. Johnson that She had made q mis-
statement at the preliminary exanina-

self. 1t did not affect the main charge,
however.
