THE GIBSON TRIAL.

The circuit court occupied the most
of last week in the second trial of
jeff. Gibson for the murder of Ben
Schonbachler. A great deal Of inter
est was evident in the case and the
courtroom was crowded during each
day of the trial The first two days
were consumed in securing jury.
On Friday afternoon, judge and jury,
lawyers and witnesses, drove out to
the scene of the shooting, IL miles
from Grants Pass, and made a practi-
cal examination Of the ground. Sat
urday was mainly taken up by the
arguments of Attorneys Smith and
Bilyeu for the defense and Reeams and
Norton for the state, and the case was
submitted to the jury at about seven
O'Clock Saturday evening and verdict
of murder in the first degree was re-
turned after about three hours deliber-
alton.
During his first trial, at the April
term, in which the jury failed to agree
on verdict, Gibson was apparently
brave and confident, manifesting no
emotion, and seeming to have no anx-
iety as to the outcome Of his case.
He seemed to be confident beyond a
doubt that he would be released. In
his recent trial, a radical change in
his demeanor was very apparent.
He seemed to have become i'm
pressed with the seriousness of his
position and collapsed utterly several
times during the trial, exhibiting
great agitation. The suspense seems
to have been too great for his nerves
and he appears broken down complete
ly.
The circumstances Of the case were
simply these:
Bad feeling had existed between the
men for some time, principally on ac-
count of dispute over division fence.
On the evening preceding the shooting
Schonbachler, being partially under
the influence of liquor, made threats
against Gibson's life. These were
communicated to Gibson. The next
day, in the afternoon, Schonbachler
went out with his shotgun, saying
to his wife that he was going to
shoot a squirrel. At the same time
Gibson was coming down toward the
river, which wodld lead him near the
Schonbachler place, with his rifle.
The two men were not walking direct
ly toward one another, but on conver-
gent lines. They were perhaps a
quarter of a mile apart when Gibson,
according to his testimony, first saw
Schonbachler Then hill intervened
and when the men again came into
view of one another, they were about
200 yards apart. Gibson shouted to
Schonbachler 10 drop that gun"
and fired, the shot taking effect in
| DNllbllDdNllltl lOltlltdNl, causing III
stant death. Gibson then turned and
walked some distance, partly around
his victim, and fired a second shot
into the body of Schonbachler.
Gibson claimed that Schonbachler
had leveled his gun at him, but the
evidence introduced on that point
was in opposition to this assertion.
Gibson's own testimony went greatly
against him. The circumstance of
the second shot, the fact that Gibson
could easily have avoided the meet
ing, Gibson's statements, 81 thought
when | left the house that | would
have to kill him. and Il thought he
wasn't dead yet, this last as a rea-
son for the second shot, made the
case very bad one for the prisoner.
Gibson was sentenced Wednesday
and September 10 was fixed as the
date of his execution.

RETURN OF TIE BRAVE.

Company II. returned on Tuesday
evening from the encampment at camp
Williams near Albany, not enthusiastic
over the pleasures of camp life. All
say it was the hardest encampment
which has yet been held. The Camp
was out in the burning hot sun, with
no shade available, and the heat and
dust is reported as something frightful.
The parade ground was rough and
wearying and all agree that, under the

young to take 9n matrimonial ties
Mrs Tevis left her apartments in

De MOREST
CONTEST.

Inc HrSD contest III IL serles tiidu
has been inaugurated by the ladies of
the W. G. T. U . came off last even
ing at the Christian church; seven
young ladies all High School scholars,
participating. Mrs Elizabeth Smith
opened the program with an excellent
talk descriptive of the Demorest Con
tests. which have been held in many of
the eastern states. She said they We're
inaugurated by w. Jennings Demor-
est. owner of the magazine of that
name in 1884, when he made a trip
through the west and noticed the ina
bility of young people to express
themselves in public.
He was an enthusiastic prohibi-
zionist and determined to give medals
for excellence in temperance oratory.
As long as he lived he furnished the
medals to all states contesting. The
books from which the selections were
taken were also furnished by him and
he left fund for the continuance of
the books, but the medals are now
purcha ased by the door money received
and the oversight of the contests has
been entru sted to the w. @. T. U.
There can be no contest unless there
are six contestants. According to the
original plan there must be six con-
tests held for silver medals and these
six winners contest for gold medal
and if six counties of the state have
%,1y S-ly Ia In
winners contest for diamond medal.
The object of the work in Grand
Junction is to raise funds for a public
drinking fountain. which shall be
not only a thing of beauty but use
full ornament.
All of the selections of last evening
dealt with the terrible evils of intem
perence and the young ladies entered
into the work with great earnestness.
Not one required prompting and the
! place of Judge conld not have been s
happv one, as three Or four of then
stood so nearly equal that it seemed s
hardship to decide between them.

on the violin. The hit Of the even
ing was made by class Of eight little
boys from nine to twelve years of age.
| from Miss Watkins S room who sang
charmingly and responded to repeated
encores in the most approved style.
In one selection they were prettily as
sisted by eight little girls dres ;ed to
represent autumn colors.
The silver medal was awarded to
Miss Pearl Shores, who spoke with
quiet dignity that won all hearts.
The ladies are certainly to be con-
graduated upon the success of the first
contest. Another will occur in two
weeks from last night. when six
young men will participate.
