| Auburn, April 13.-Adolph We
Der was sentenced to death today
for the murder of his mother.
81 hope you are not deceiving
me, Mr.. Johnson" These we're
Adolph Weber's words to his chief
counsel shortly after Superior Judge
Prewett pronounced the death pen
atty and fixed the date of hanging
at June 80. 1905.
I johnson had offered a wager
with Sheriff Keena that the su-
preme court would grant a new tri-
al. The sentence came at 4 o'clock
this afternoon, after six hours of
argument by the defense on their
motion for new trial. When ask
ed to stand up this morning, Weber
faltered and had to be lifted up by
Under Sheriff May. This afternoon
| when the court made the same re-
quest, Weber had to be urged to do
so by his counsel. He seemed 10
have lost his Indifference and self
n composure. He was not defiant to-
day, neither did he display that
contemptous smile he used go fre-
I, quently during the trial. Weber
is changed. Time is telling on him.
He is more pleasant to the officials
| and is more easily controlled by his
attorneys.
Indeed, he agreed with his coun-
sci TO settlement of the bank rob-
berry case, if it could be arranged
{ This compromise was expected to
be made this morning, but for the
baking of the young men, Geear,
NNIonog an and Dspender, who, " lttih
Coroner Shepard, found the stolen
bank money under the Weber barn,
Toe proposition was that all suits
! be dropped, that the $500 found
be returned to the estate and thai
the bank take judgment against tht
: estate for Sc, 200. representing tbe
3 full amount stolea with interest
y A reward of $500 was to be paid t,
I! Coroner Shepard, who would divid,
: with the others.

Z nas begun. Yesterday a carload 0
E fine young oysters from Old Poin
a Comfort, Va, arrived in Alban'
T and were Immediately sent owe
Il The Corvallis & Eastern to Yaquin
y Bay, where a two-acre bed had bee
q prepared for them.
Y For several years experiment
2 with Eastern oysters have bee
4 made at Yaquina Bay, and the
z were very successful. The oyster
4 not only grew rapidly and becam
< fully developed but they have th
= fine favor of the best article fror
= the Atlantic Coast. Those whic
were sent to the coast yesterda
4 were the property of DR.. NJ. M. d.
\ Wis, of Newport, who.> with som
4 others, owns several acres of th
! finest oyster beds On the Orego
D Coast.
\ While yesterdays carload wi
I plant but two acres of this bed,
4 like amount will be planted eacl
4 year until the entire tract is SUP
4 piled. As it takes four or five veal
4 for the young oysters to fully ms
| ture and be ready for market, tn
4 system will have fresh oysters con
I )iag on every year when once the
I bacome marketable. The men al

= business proposition and are conf
dent of success.
In addition to the Atlantic CoaE
oyster, Dr.. Davis is preparing
ge plant a small bed Of the big Herr
nc shimo oyster from the Japan Coas
en- The conditions of the Pacific Coal
IS are more like those of Japan tha
"a, of the Atlantic seaboard, and it
y, ys possible that the big japanese oy
" ter will do even better than the OF
to Point Comfort variety.
