An Untrue statement.

Frank Abernethy, of The Dalles,
died on Thursday in St. Vincent's
hospital, Portland. Few tears for
Abernethy will be shed bv the Gil
liam county people who knew him. He
was cashier of the Roslyn bank when
it was robbed, and it was his false
swearing that convicted innocent Cal
Hale of the crime, and ruined the life
of Hale. However, Abernethy did not
come through the ordeal uuscathed.
A nemesis in the form of a guilty con-
science pursued him to his death, and
his friends say that he never saw
happy day since the trial.-Fossil
Journal.
People in The Dalles, who knew
Abernethy for years, and who are con-
versant with the circumstances of the
trial of Hale, are convinced beyond a
doubt that deceased never testified
falsely. Frank Aoernethy may have
had faults, few people there are who
have not, but he was not perjurer.
Those who knew him best believed
him to be honest and thruthful, and
feel that he told the truth in the trial
of Hale. However, had he not, this is
not time to accuse him of crime. If
the Fossil Journal knew he was a
perjurer, it should have attacked him
when he was alive and capable of de-
Tending himself. A cur can attack
dead lion, but it never crosses the path
of live one.

Continuing DR.. Paine says:
"Of the whole number admitted dur.
ing the two years just ended there
were discharged as cured Is per cent,
and OF the whole number treated, 1865,
there were discharged as cured 81
per cent.
"The percentage of deaths for the
biennial period was 10 7, based on the
whole number treated. The increase
in death rate over the last biennia
period, although not great, was evil
IDENTIFY caused by the large number of
senile cases sent to the asylum from
the various counties, many of them
undoubtedly only sent here to die"
The comparative cost by biennial
periods of conducting the institution
from the beginning is shown in table
and Superintendent Paine says;
"The per capita cost of the last BIZ
enniaI period, S9607, is the lowest of
any biennial period in the history of
the institution. and this has not been
brought about by the curtailment of
any necessary expenditure. In fact,
the per capita issue on meat and milk
has been increased, and only fret
class products have been furnished to
the patient ts, and these always in suf-
ficient quantities to meet their wants.
"The annual net increass in popula-
ton since the beginning of this period
las been so. So we may be able to
estimate at least that rate of increase
Tor the next two years, making our
average population for that period
about 1900. which, using the same rate
Is that upon which the last estimate
vas based, would call for .S28S, 900 for
he insane and idiotic fund"

Frank Forester Before a jury on q
Charge of Murder.
The case of Frank Forester, who
killed Phil Brogsn il saloon at An
telope on the 5th of las. November, by
stabbing him in the heart, was begun
Wednesday afternoon and jury was
secured at noon Thursday, and after 26
men had been examined as to their
qualifications to sit as jurors, the at
torneys on both sides having examined
very closely into the qualifications
of each man called to sit as juror

Most of the afternoon was taken up

This case Is being very hotly coz.

had been in the employ of Brogau for
some time as camp tender, and had
been given authority to purchase sup

Antoine Nelson, was the second wit.
ness, and testified to circumstances
that occurred during the day before
Rrogan was killed in the evening, and
also to the position in which the body
of deceased lay soon after being stab
| bed.
Frank Gum, the third witness for the
prosecution, is the most important one
yet examined. He was kept on the
stand for about three hours Thursday
night, and his testimony was substan-
TALLY as follows: On the evening of
| November 9Th he was passing along
the streets of Antelope, and saw
Broga1 and Forester in front of
| Silvertooth's saloon. Mr.. Brogan
beckoned to him, and he went to
where they we're. After Mr.. Brogan
having asked him some questions
about dead sheep he had seen in
the mountains, Forester asked Bro
gan to settle with him, and Mr..
Brogau offered to pay him $40.
Forester said the amount due him
was S75, and some hot words passed
between them. Forester accused
Brogan of being drunk, and Brogan
threatened 10 have Forester arrested
for stealing his sheep. Brogan finally
went into the saloon, and Forester got
hold of witness and forced him into
an alley between the saloon and a
blacksmith shop. where they quarreled
a. short time until the marshal came |
along and sent witness into the saloon.
Gum testified that himself, Mr.. Bro
gan and Mr.. McRea were in the sa.
loon about half an hour, and were
preparing to go to supper, when For
ester, a man named ''Slim" and a
Mexican came in, and Slim invited
them to drink. He and Mr.. Brogan
both refused to drink, and Slim caught
hold of him (Gum) and pulled him up
to the bar. When Brogan refused to
drink, he told Slim he did not under
stand the trouble, and speaking to
Forester, said, Frank you have not
treated me right" when Slim called
Dut. 'Les them pull off their coats
and 60 at it," Forester took off his
coat and stepped into the center of
'he room, whereupon witness took off
lis coat and knocked Forester down.
Slim seized him (Gum) and checked
lin, and when he recovered he saw
3rogan falling backward with his
laud on his chest and fall on a bed.
Witness saw Forester with a large
,nife and ran out of the back door.
On cross-examination, the attorneys
or the defendant made a strong effort
o break down Gums testimoney, and {
ucceeded in confusing him somewhat,
,ut did not injure his testimony ma
erlally. He was excused at 1920,
nd court adjourned to o'clock this
lorning.
Charles Clarno was the first witness
allied yesterday morning and was kept
n the stand ali day. Clarno has evil
enced that he is an unwilling witness, .
nd the attorneys haye had much
,ngthy discussion over the manner in q
hich his testimony shall be given.
He saw the fight in which Brogan L
as killed. and was a witness at the 81
,quest, where it is claimed he told 81

nor atheists, for he felt that with the
Sword of the Spirit he could meet any
of them. His courageous faith in Good
seemed to make an infidel tremble in
his presence. And when he was soil
citouS about the salvation of an ac-
quaintance, or even a stranger, he hes
itated not to kneel and offer prayer for
his conversion then and there, no mat
ter whether it was in the street or
travelling in railroad car. In 1860 he
decided to give all his time to God as
an evangelist. When he was asked how
he would support himself he replied:
God will provide for me If He wishes
me to keep on, and l shall keep on till
l am obliged to STOP" To carry on the
work he reduced his expenses to a
minimum, by doing without a home,
so that he slept on bench in the room
of the Young Mems Christian Ass ocia-
ton, and spent very little for food.
Finally friends began to give him con-
tributions, and he was appointed city
missionary Of Chicago, which widened
his sphere Of usefulness. Then he
made vow that he would speak to one
unconverted man every day. Some
times his tender words were met with

scorn and cursing, but this he said did
him no harm, and he kept right on.
ION the 2Sth of August, 1862, Moody
wa5 married to Miss Emma C. Revell.
This Christian lady is a sister of Elem
ing H. Revell, who has the great pub
fishing house in Chicago. She proved
to be a noble helpmeet for him in his
meetings, and her sympathy made their
little fireside a refuge of rest to him
amid his tolls. For years their home
was small, plain cottage. At times
they were closely run to obtain the ne
cessaries Of life. Yet his daily life was
wholly committed to the providence Of
God. One morning he said to his wife:
I have no money and the house is
without supplies. 1t looks as if the
Lord has had enough of men in this
mission work, and is going to send me
back again to sell boots and shoes"
The next day two checks came through
the mail to him, one of $50 for himself,
the other for his school. He accepted
this gift as a token from the Lord that
he was still held in favor. This in
stance is but one of many of similar
character. In this way he worked
away until his school numbered more
than a thousand scholars; he had also
succeeded in converting 800 adults IN
der his preaching. These he organized
into an independent church. With faith
in God he went right on and built a
$40 900 church on Illinois street, and it
was soon paid for.
when the Y. NJ. C. A. decided to
erect a permanent building they elected
him president, and soon 'Farwell Hail.
was built. This building was soon de-
stroyed by fire, but Moody was not dis
couraged, and a second edifice was
soon reared on the same site. He es-
tablished a MONDAY prayer meeting,
which was steadily attended by 1000
people. The terrible fire of Chicago,
1871, laid in ruins all the buildings that
were associated with his labors. But
| he was not to be cast down, and In
| three months he had large frame tab
ernacle erected, measuring 75x109 feet,
| Soon money was raised to build per-
manent brick structure, and while this
was in progress Moody, accompanied
by Ira D. Sankey, accepted an invita-
| ton to visit the British Isles as evan
I gelists. The secret motive OF Mr..
| Moody in this trip was to win 10000
souls for Christ, and far more than
| 10000 were converted.
Think of what Moody came from
a poor country lad, dull at learning IN
school; refused a Sabbath school class
because of alleged ignorance; told that
he could best serve his Lord by keeping
| quiet: a travelling salesman, collecting
| waits from the streets of Chicago and
teaching them the Word of God. Think
of what he has done-thousands OF con-
verts brought to Christ, many churches
built, two great schools for training
| Christian workers, his printing press
scattering Christian literature every
