had not heard the proceedings at the in
quest and proceeded to tell them about
it, and about how the mob came and took
the prisoners. He told them how the af-
fair occurred and how he fired shots from
his revolver at the time.
Ayers said that Brown told him that
Frank Hall fought the men who were
trying to take him from the hotel. The
witness stated that in this converse ton
Brown said that it was general talk in
Lookout that these men ought to either
be sent to prison or hung" He had
smoked his cigar on the porch, and the
mob came in and came sooner than he
thought they would. This is considered
the strongest testimony against Brown
since the trial commenced.
The next witness examined was Charles
NJ. Lambeth. He stated that he was in
Lookout during the time that the in
quests were held over four of the bodies.
He heard Brown say it had been general
talk in Lookout that these men would
be hung but that the lynchc-s came be-
fore he was expecting it."

WOMEN APPLAUD MEN
AT RABBIT SLAUGHTER
Exciting Roundup of Thousands of
the Animals on Sagebrush
Prairie

PENDLETON, Or, Dec. SO.-Three
thousand five hundred jack rabbits were
killed in an immense slaughter pen in the
Butter Creek country, thirty-three miles
west of here, Sunday. 1t was the great
est drive in the history of this section.
Eight hundred men and boys participated
in the massacre, cheered on by many
women.
An immense corral of wire netting had
been built on the sagebrush prairie, with
arms extending a quarter of a mile on
each side. In the center was a circular
pen 100 feet in diameter and ten feet high.
Two special trains brought clubbers from
Pendleton and Heppner, while from small
er towns the drivers came on foot and in
wagons. The drivers were lined up and
in a line two miles long, brandishing
clubs, they started toward the corral, the
rabbits being driven from cover at every
step until the corral was full to over
flowing.
Then began the slaughter. Excited by
the scene men grew reckless and struck
right and left until manned and dead
were piled up on all sides, the wounded
moaning in misery until some more hu-
name person returned to finish the work.
Six hundred were taken alive and the
balance were piled in five great heaps.

PROMINENT GRAIN KING
SUCCUMBS TO PNEUMONIA
Frank H. Peavey, Well Known
Throughout the Country, Dies
Unexpectedly at Chicago.

unexpectedly at chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. SO.-Frank H. Peavey,
one of the best known grain men in the
country, died here to-day of pneumonia,
aged 81 years IL months.
Peavey came to Chicago from his home
in Minneapolis nearly two weeks ago on
a business trip. He was in his usual per-
feet health, but he contracted a cold and
took to his bed in the Auditorium Annex.
The cold quickly developed into pneumo-
MIA and the patients friends and rela-
tives were notified, although it was eX-
pected he would recover. Yesterday it
was believed that Peavey had success
fully passed the crisis of his illness and
up to midnight information from the bed
side was of a very encouraging character
At that hour, however, the patients
breathing became more difficult and his
tation of physicians followed and every
thing known to science to combat the
malady was done. At a. m. Peavey
lapsed into unconsciOusness and the fam
lily, which surrounded him, was informed
that the end was approaching. At $3.50
the great grain man breathed his last.
PeaVey'S wife was with her husband all
through his Illness, having left a sick bed
herself in Minneapolis to come to him.
Peavey was credited with being the
largest owner of grain elevators in the
country, if not in the world. The sign
warehouses throughout the grain prOduc-
ing States in the West and Northwest
along the lines of the railroads. At rail-
road terminal points he had large hold
ings, his interests in Chicago being par
ticularly heavy. His name for years has
been potent on the boards of trade here
and in the Northwest
Peavey carried 81 ,S76, 900 insurance on his
life. The million-dollar policy was paya-
BILE to himself or his heirs, but it's pur-
pose was the furnishing of ready capital
for the business in case of his death.

JUDGE DECLARES
BONDS ARE VALID
Important Decision Rem
dered by Circuit
Judge Ross.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3O-Judge Ross
of the Federal Circuit Court to-day rem
dered a decision in the case Of William
y. Brown versus John H. Drain as Street
Superintendent Of the city Of Los An
geles, for an injunction, and for declar-
ing void the issue of street Improvement
bonds issued under the Vrooman act for
the Improvement Of Stanley avenue. The
decision is in favor of the defendant and
the bonds are held to be valid
The case involves several points that
are vital in every city in California The
principal point brought out the fact that
the Councils in cities affected by the
Vrooman law have the right to modify
street assessments previous to the lssll-
ance OF warrants for the contractors re-
mHuneration, and also within thirty days
after the event
Judge Ross decided that the Vrooman
act superseded the city charter, and that
accordlng TO the constitution of the State
OF California at the time of the adoption
OF the city charter no charter provision
was wand II in conflict with a State law
operative at the time of the ADOPTION of
such charter This point hau been passed
upon previously in the same way by the
supreme Court of California.
Judge Ross IN his decision said that the
supreme Court, decision in the case of
Norwood VS.. Baker did not involve the
merits OF the tront-foot assessment and
that that point was not we'll taken. He
said also that he Vrooman act could not
be attacked on the ground of alleged dis
proportion of assessments. OF on the
ground that the matter Of benefits was
not considered in relation to the amount
of the assessments, or that the property
owners had not been given sufficient on
portunity to file objections to the pro-
posed Improvement or to the apportion-
ment of the assessment
The vital point of the decision. that
renders it far reaching Ia its effects is
that under the Vrooman act ample on
portunity is given the property owners to
make whatever objection they feel to be
Just against the assessments and that If
such objection is not mace 70 the Coun-
. ell in the regnlar WV Within the lima
