Hartman Suddenly Discovers
That Crook County Needs
a Railroad

The Portland Journal has a story
concerning the building Of the extern
sion Of the Columbia Southern from
Shaniko to Bend, the former the pres
ent terminus of the road, and the lat
ter a thrifty town on the D%eschutes, in
the heart Of the big irrigating district
of Crook county. The paper says in
big headlines that Central Oregon re-
joices, and Central Oregon has
not heard Of it, and would not believe
any story sent out by the railroad,
anyway; there is 10 great display Of
fireworks, the story says:
Extension Of the Columbia South
ern railroad 100 miles, from Shaniko to
Bend, will be commenced, II is said,
within the rex few months. Final de-
cision awaits the completion Of a thor
ough investigation being made by Har-
rimau line officials with regard to con
ditions Of the country through which
the route passes.
"Mr. o'Brien, when asked today de.
clined to confirm the report. It is pos.
itively known, however, that these Of.
fcials are making an exhaustive report
on the territory described, and that
they will leave early next week to
make a trip by Shaniko into Central
Oregon.
GAS the committee was unable to get
any definite assurance from Mr.. Lytle,
Mr.. Teal was directed to take up the
matter direct with Mr.. Hartman. Ac.
cordingly on May Goth, a telegram
and letter was sent TO Mr.. Hartman
respecting the situation, and under
date Of June sth a letter was received
from William d. Cornish, vicopresident
Of the o. r. & n. Co., advising the
committee that an examination Of the
territory would be made, and that as
soon as the examination was eomplet.
ed and a conclusion reached, General
Manager o'Brien would communicate
further with the committee.
''For some reason II Is very difficult
to get railroad managers to under
stand the physical conditions and
characteristics Of this state. In other
states, under like conditions, there has
been no hesitancy in building, and
the committee hopes that the same
policy respecting this state will be
inaugurated.
The distance from Shaniko TO Bend
Is about 100 miles, and from Biggs TO
Shaniko 20 miles. The total length Of
the Columbia Southern, IL extended
would be 40 miles. The greater por'
ltion Of the extension would be in
Crook county. Crook county has i'm.
mense natural resources, and needs
only transportation facilities to DO
come very thickly populated. Its area
is 1856 square miles, or about 4,96S,
$40 acres. IL now produces from
5000, 900 to 100000 pounds Of WOO
a year, and has 100000 acres OF
timber land outside Of the reserve on
which is estimated to be growing 10,
6T7, 5000 feet Of standing timber.
and is now producing farm products
Of 100000 in value, and livestock
of about sl,750,OOO,"

STICKS TO ONE STORY.
Gibson Has Taken the Hint from Tes-

San Antonio, Texas. Dec. 1S.-The
MQnk Gibson trial will begin again
this morning and probably continue
until the middle of the week, as the
witnesses for the defense have not yet
been placed on the stand. or the %
witnesses who came from Edna more
than a third are for the State. Monk
seems to have taken the hint since ne
has heard every story he ever toid re-
mounted by the witnesses and Will
not talk except to confirm the story
he has told since in this city. lie
saws he has no idea what will be done
with him or how the trial is going.
The witnesses have told of the ap-
pearance of the Conditt house lmme-
diatelv after the murder. and the main
fight now will be to show by the To-
cations of the houses around the CON
dit farm whether or not other per-
sons could have gotten away from 'he
house Immediately after the murder
without being seen.
The conviction of the citizens OF
Jackson county that Monk Is guilty.

AGAINST BROKERS
SUPREME COURT DENIED THEM
WRIT or HABEAs CoE7GG.
WENT UP FROM SAN ANTONIO.
The Evidence Submitted in the Low
cr Court Was Found by Supreme
Court to Be Sufficient.

Austin. Texas. Dec. 19.--Tne SUI
preme court yesterday rendered its
first decision under the new law au-
thorizing it to issue writs of habea5
corpus in certain cases. The San
Antonio ticket brokers had applied
for the writ. Reid and Lytle had
been enjoined from dealing in rail
road tickets, and were fined for vio-
lating the injunction order OF the ap-
pel!ate court. from which they asked
for habeas corpus. In refusing 1t,
Associate Justice Williams wrote;
Under the statute passed by the
LEGISLATURE at its last session con-
ferring upon this court jurisdiction
to issue the writ of habeas corpus
in certain cases, the REALTORS have ap-
piled to be released from the custody
of the sheriff of Bexar county, in
which they are held by him under
commitment from the Honorable
Court of Civil Appeals for the Fourth
Supreme Judicial District, issued upon
a Judgment Of that court adjudgins
them guilty of contempt in violating
a writ of injunction in force in 4
cause pending on appeal therein.
The writs of habeas corpus were IS
sued and such evidence and argument
as the parties saw fit to offer have
been heard. Their only contention
is that the Imprisonment is illegal
for the alleged reason that no evil
dence was adduced before the Court
of Civil Appeals to sustain the charge
preferred.
con the hearing before this court
the evidence offered before the Court
of Civil Appeals was reproduced,
and, in our opinion, it tended 10
prove every fact essential to support
the Judgment of conviction. We shall
not review or discuss it, for it must
be understood that this court Is
neither clothed with appellate power
over such judgments, and has Meth
er the right nor the disposition to
assume a jurisdiction of that char
acter. Nor shall we undertake at
this time to define the extent OF this
jurisdiction. since the only reason
preferred for its exercise has been
shown not to exist. Whether or not
the ground stated, if it existed, would
sustain the application we need not
determine.
s"The relators will be remanded to
the custody of the sheriff, to be held
by him in obedience to the order OF
the Court of Civil Appeals"

dead: S
Byron Merritt, motorman.
Elisha Pevito, Deputy Constable
Henry Powell, negro.
The above is BeaumOnt's dark Sun
day story for yesterday. Intense eX-
citement prevails over the tragedy
which occurred yesterday morning be-
tween 9 and 10 O'Clock, though at this
writing nothing has developed to prove
the people of Beaumont other than
the most law abiding citizens under
stress of such anger and resentment.
At 9:12 the negro, Henry Powell,
walked up the street on the car track
on Fifth street in the South End and
Motorman Merritt approached with
his car. When the point just oppo-
site the car barns was reached Merritt
brought his car to stop and began
to say something to the negro about
getting off the track. No one heard
what was said, and Conductor Barnado
was not close enough to understand
exactly what went on. In an instant,
however, the negro, who all the time
held two revolvers in his hands, shot
once at Merritt and the latter fell
with a bullet through his neck and
head. Only one shot was fired
In a few minutes every available
officer was in the South End or Low
er Woods" as it has been called gen.
orally. They divided into pairs and
began a systematic search of the
houses occupied by negroes in that
section. Deputy Constable Pevito and
Deputy Sheriff Reid Tevis formed one
pair. AS they reached one hut Pevito
rode in front and Tevis behind. A
rough blind to a window was thrown
open and another shot rang out, and
the bullet went through Pevitos
heart He fell just in front of his
boy, who was accompanying MIN. ihe
negro. Powell, then ran to the back
door to make his escape. He was
commanded to stop by Tevis, but In
stead of obeying he raised both pis-
tolls again to fire at Tevis. The lat
ter was too quick, and shot him
suuarely through the head. His hands
went up, and the fourth shot was fired
aimlessly into the air, and the negro
was dead
