WILLIAMS
SENTENCED
TO HANG
At State Penitentiary on July
22--Remained Solid and
Indifferent

The Dalles, Or, June LIN a cour
room crowded with curious spectators
the final act of the trial of Norman
williams for the murder of Alma Mes
bitt williams, near Hood River, March
8, 1900, was consummated last even
ing. when Judge Bradshaw pro
nounced judgment upon the criminal
whom 12 men had declared guilty Of
wife-murder. Through the alsles
hacked with men, women and children
the deputy and bailiffs were obliged tc
force their way in order to bring their
prisoner before.
Erect and apparently self-possessed
williams was led to his chair beside
his counsel, Judge McGinn. No out
ward sign manifested that he realized
his terrible situation. The forced COM
posure, broken only by sudden straight
ening of shoulders and hands, which
has characterized his bearing through
out his trial, was maintained while
he stood to receive sentence of death.
When the fatal words fell from the
Judges lips no culver told that VIII.
liams was even listening, but as the
court named July 22d as the day upon
which he should ,expiate his crime, a
sudden swelling of the throat and a
crimson flush for a moment only
showed that the quick was touched.
When asked If he had anything to
say regarding his sentence, Williams
replied: Nothing at this time. Forty
days was then asked by Judge Nc
CHM in which to file bill of excep.
tions and appeal. After receiving SEN
tence, Williams was detained in the
court room until the crowd was dis
persed when he was once more re-
turned to kis cell.
Since the close of the trial he has
seen no one but the jailer, sheriff and
an evangelist Of this city, spending his
time in reading his Bible and praying.
He has eaten and slept with his usual
regularity, remarking to his attend
ant that he did not care for papers or
anything else from the world with
which he lad finished.
The setting of the date and place
for his execution have caused consid-
cradle excitement in this city, but two
hangings having ever occurred in this
county-the frs in the '6Os, and the
last in 1878.

FRIGHT
Or. ]. W. Smith Injured in a
Runaway Accident Across
the River

DR.. ]. n Smith, while coming home
from making call over in Polk
county today had a very narrow es-
cape with his life. He was driving
his own horse and one from Simp-
sons stable, and the stable horse
must have had an evil effect on the
doctors for when he was about half
way down the Harritt hill, the team,
without any cause whatever started
to run away. They ran for about a
mile, when they tried to make a turn
in the road, and, not seeing some COWS
lying in the road, ran the buggy over
one of them and upset 1t, throwing the
doctor to the ground, straining his
back, spraining his leg and breaking
his finger He says that the hurts are
not at all serious, and that he will be
out tomorrw Had it not been for DR..
Smiths cool head and steady nerves
he would have been upset on the
steepest part of the hill, and that
would have meant certain death at the
speed which the horses were running,
but. as it was he held them in the
road, and had them pretty nearly un-
der control when the accident oc-
Cured.
After the doctor had pulled himself
together from his fall he again showed
his supreme grit by walking a quarter
of a mile across the hill to another
road, where he met team. which
brought him home.

Very Annoying to Some People.

People that are known to be weak
and sickly, by their neighbors, are
asked the question every day whether
they are feeling better. Do you feel
stronger? Are you gaining flesh? ?
Their friends know If they are gain

,of returning health. If they can only
get a remedy that will make solid
flesh, recovery is assured. People
with nervous troubles, loss of flesh and
strength, no ambition, languid, and
always tired, have thin watery blood.
