Webster Fiend Lynched.

tiItc guns Duu s'liilfc oitos
Startling Dunham, a negro, was torn
from the deputies who brought him
to Eupora and lynchcd by mob of
outraged citizens, and the lynching
was made gala event.
The crime of which Simpson was
guilty was one of the most atrocious
ever committed in the State. Two
weeks ago he suddenly appeared in
the doorway Of wealthy farmers
home, few miles from Eupora,
n rushing upon the three daugh-
who were alone IN the house,
clutched one and striking her half
unconscious, committed an assault.
One of the other two girls rushed
out for help, while the third seizing
shotgun, sought to shoot the fiend,
but the gun missed fire. As the
girl rushed upon him with the shot
gun dubbed to strike, Simpson
knocked her senseless and succeed
ed in committing second assault.
Then he fled.
Citizens from every part of the
county took up the search for the
fiend, and posses had been searching
the vicinity daily since, armed with
guns and led by bloodhounds.
Simpson was captured near Car
rollton. For fear of a lynching he
was kept in jail there for day, but
the officers thinking the excitement
over the crime had subsided, and
that the law would be permitted to
take its course, decided to return
Simpson to Eupora for trial.
When the train arrived at that
place with the fend in charge of
three deputies, it was met by mob
of nearly 200 quiet but determined
men. As the negro was led from
the train the mob swooped down
upon him and despite the resistance
of the officers he was torn from
them and dragged to ire less than
two rods away. A moose, was quick
" fastened about his neck, and
fftv hands chtclsd, the free end
of the rope and jerked the body up
ward, while the rest of the crowd
cheered or riddled the corpse with
bullets.
Favorable for Farm Work.
Last weeks bulletin of the
weather and crop bureau has the
following to say:
"Thc mean temperature for the
week was slightly below normal.
The days were warm, with much
sunshine, but the nights we're un-
seasonably cool. Fresh to brisk
northerly winds prevailed on sew
eral days during the week.
"The weather was very favorable
for farm work, and as result crops
are in an excellent state of cultlva-
ton. but are generally small for
this time of year. In The central
and northern portions of the State
the cool nights and northeriy winds
have retarded the growth of cotton
and caused lice to become quite
damaging in many fields, while over
the southern counties cotton is gem
orally doing well and is beginning
to bloom.
Corn needs rain in all sections,
and in some localities it is being
materially damaged by the dry
weather; laying by is about COM
pleted north and early corn is ear
ing south.
"Cane. melons and fruit have
generally continued to do well, but
gardens, peas and pastures need
| more moisture. Watermelons are
ropining south"

Hermann, asking his advice in relation
to the claim. He stated that DR.. Davii
was in trouble over it,; that he had
dropped the land upon its being put
into the Cascade forest reserve, that he
had, later, upon the advice of Colonel
Bob Miller, made up his final proof.
The colonel, so said the letter, had adj
vised DIR. Davis to the effect that all
the time elapsing since the creation Of
the reserve and the date of actual en-
try and since the survey had been
made would be recognized by the de-
partment as residence. The letter
closed with the statement that Mr..
LOOMS would be glad to gain any in
, formation which might be of use to
some very good friends of Mr.. Her
mann's in Linn county.
The letter was given by George 70.
Ogden, a clerk in the department, by
Mr.. Hermann, who replied March 26,
1901. Ogden called attention to the
fact that the doctor had sworn his cul.
tivation and residence in his affidavit,
and said that if it appeared from the
facts that the claim had been aban-
doned such afidavits would make DR..
Davis or any other persons liable to
prosecution for perjury.
Upon receipt Of this letter DIR. Davis
abandoned effort to secure the claim,
and nothing more was done until May,
1908, when Ormsby was sent to make
a report upon the lands. Some of the
claims had been recommended for can.

was the Davis claim. ID. W. Tarpley |
to Davis about this time, so it is
said, and made a proposition to him,
which he accepted. Davis was to Sc
cure 5000 each from the men who had
filed upon the claims and afterwards
them. Tarpley was to re-
a share, and so was Ormsby, who
had been sent by the government to
make his report. Through ormsby it
was expected that the claims would be
passed to patent.
DR.. Davis, it is said, then secured
from IA men, each of whom
promised to donate 5000 toward secur-
ing, patents to their old and abandoned
lands. OF this sum the doctor is said
TO have raised 1890. He gave 5000
of the sum to Tarpley, and the rest
was to have been divided between
ormsby and a firm of Washington, d.
attorneys, who were to be employed
to look after the securing of the pat

COUNTY OPERATIONS

The land fraud cases in which a mum
Der Of prominent men have been men
toned in connection during the past few
months, is taking a serious aspect, ant
now threatens to lead to the indict
ment Of several not heretofore named
DIR. w. II. Davis, mayor Of Albany
ex-chairman of the county central com
mittee, is the chief figure, owing tC
his prominence, says the O~regonian:
0rmsby and Loomis, Sorenson and
Young have all been before the public
from the opening Of the land fraud
trial several weeks ago, but DIR. Davis
had not been brought into the case un-
til the latter part Of the week just
passed, when he appeared before the
grand jury by his own request.
The government expects to prove by
the evidence against the Albany man
that he went into the conspiracy to de-
fraud the government knowingly, and
n year after he had abandoned his
claim as the result Of correspondence
with the land office at Washington.
The story shows that Davis went
into the forest in 1892, in company
with w m. Horn, a timber locator, of
Albany. Horn located him on a claim
and built a cabin for him in the same
year. The cabin was afterwards de-
stroyed by a tree falling upon. In 1898
Dr.. Davis went to his claim for a day
or 50, and again in 1898 he spent a
short time there while on a fishing
trip. He also went fishing in the vicin-
ity in 1896.
DIR. Davis made his final proof be-
fore 10 b. Montague, of Albany, in
1900, and swore that he had cultivated
five acres of ground each year since re-
siding on the land; that he had raised
crops, and had made the place his res
idencc, except for short periods in the
winter, when he was compelled to leave
make a living for himself and fam
lily.
In 1901 G. f. Loomis came to Albany
to make a report on the claim of DR..
Davis in connection with about As 9th
err claims held up by the department.
1t is said that the doctor became un-
easy about this time and wrote to
Binger Hermann, then commissioner of
the general land Office, asking his ad-
vice in regard to his filing. He also
asked Mr.. LOOMS to write to the de-
partment in regard to his claim.
Under date Of March IL, 1901,
Loomis wrote a personal letter to Mr.. J

ing of the State Good Roads Assoeia-

was not without good results. The
message informed him of a good roads
convention to be held in Washington
county, and that his presence was de-
sired, TO address the meeting, but,
while nothing would please the Judge
more than to assist the effort in every
way, II seems that it will be impossible
for him to absent himself from his
duties in this county at that time.

ents at the general land office.
The report Of Mr.. ormsby was favor
able, in spite of the fact that LOOMS
had once reported against the claims
and in October 1902, patents issued to
the lands.
Henry Young, another one Of those
indicted, is well known in Portland and
in the Willamette valley as an athlete.
He came from Astoria, and was given
a ~clerkship in the secretary of states
Office by Frank l.. Dunbar during the
early part of that officials first term.
Young, however, drank to excess, and
was discharged. He later was en-
tangled with the law for having col
lected money from various persons in
Salem, under pretense of representing
a firm with which he had no connection
and is supposed to have left the state
under this cloud. He was one time a
member of the Multnomah football
team, and was known as "Spike''
Young. Young represented himself as
George A. Graham before Judge Gal
loway, then of the Oregon City land
Office, and also made affidavit before
R. b. Montague as Henry Young.
Young is now in the East, but the
government does not have any great
desire to apprehend him, as he is of
too little moment at the present time
AS the offense for which he is indicted
is not extraditable, it is thought that
Young will not be one of those to at
tend the trial.
George Sorenson is also well-known
Portland character. He was a one time
a deputy sheriff of Multnomah county,
under Sheriff Frazier, and was charged
with grating Cinnamon, and wa dis
charged. He then went into the real
estate business. He has been implicatr
ed in many things in Portland not to
his credit, and about a month ago,
when the land fraud cases drew near,
eft the city. He is now supposed to
be in Missouri.
ormsby is, supposed to be at his
home in Salem, while Loomis is in Eu-
gene and Davis is at Albany. The
court fixed the bonds of each of the
men at $4,000, and they will be served

Short Suggestions.

Making starch with soapy water is
the best way to produce gloss and
prevent the iron from sticking.
The best way to mash potatoes is to
rub them through a wire sieve; you
can then be sure there are no Jumps
left
When making a pudding don't forget
to make a plat in the cloth at the top
of your basin, so as to allow the pud-
ding room to swell.
Before using a lamp wick soak it
in strong vinegar, then dry it thor
oughly and it will burn both brightly
and without any unpleasant smoke or
smell.
The beating of eggs to a froth is
sometimes firing work. The labor will
be lightened If before breaking the
eggs into the basin the latter Is rinsed
with cold water. Add to the eggs
pinch Of salt and while beating them
stand in a good current Of air and
they will soon froth.
When the white Of an egg is used
the yolk Is often left to harden and
is then thrown out. A teaspoonful of
cold water poured into the eggshell
will keep it soft. If hardened, beat
in a little milk, and the yolk may
be made disable again. Whites of eggs
must be kept covered If not used at
once.
