FIRST LEGAL EXECUTION
INTERESTING EMiNISCENCE OF
w. S. GILLIAN, FIRST SHERIFF
OF POLK COUNTY,.
Otficiated at the First Hanging OF a
Observation-Disclosures Story Is
RetoId.


The Oregon Statesman says:
The recent visit of ". S. Gillian, OF
Walla WalIa. to the scenes of his early
life in Willamette valley, recalls the
prominent part he took in the develop
ment of the country in the times when
il is said some people settled down in
this country because they could not
settle up where they came from.
At the time of his visit to Salem in
January last, the published report of
the fact alluded to his being the first
sheriff of Polk county and that. as such
he officiated at the first legal execu-
ton which ever took place in our sister
bailiwick across the river. An inspec-
ton of the files of the Statesman for
that date reveals the fact that the muir
dered man was named Serenus Hooker,
and his murderer was William Ever
man.
Hooker owned Il farm across the
Rickreal but a mile or two south of the
present town of Dixie, not far from the
Nesmita home, and having missed
watch which had been taken from his
house, did not hesitate to publicly say
that F,Verman was the thief. The ac-
cusation coming to Everman's ears he
threatened to kill Hooker for it. Not
long afterWard Hooker was found in
his field dead having been shot twice.
Very naturally, EVerman was suspected
of the murder and inquiry brought the
information that the day before he had
started to California;, or had pretended
to, in company with his brother Hiram
ana two other men named Smith and
Coe.

Difference Of Opinion.

The officers of the Puget Sound
Navigation company claim that the
deck and feed pumps were connected
with pipes leading into the mud box"

was not the case. The mud box, which
rested on the suction pipe was capable
of handling three and One-half inch
stream of water. The line and deck

denser.
Even if the pumps We're connected
with the mud boxes, as the officers of
the company claim, it would not have
assisted me, as the box was capable of
only the three and one-half
inch stream no matter how many
pumps were connected on that section.

Question OF DeadIiqht.

Much testimony was introduced at
the investiga ton before Marine Inspec-
tors Whitney and Turner regarding
the broken headlight. The claim was
made that It was an incOnsequential
incident leading up to the sinking of
the vessel. l will say that it had a deal
to do with the disabling of the Clallam.
In the first place the construction
of the light was faulty, to say the least

all sides, but instead the top and bot
tom were left open. Had it been prop
erly constructed there would have been
little trouble in stopping the flow of
water. Several planks nailed against
the skin of the ship from the engine
hoOm would have repaired the damage
But here is what the men in our de-
partment had to contend with. The
water rushed in through the eight-inc
headlight and washed down between
the skin and the outside planking of the
ship and found its way to the bottom of
