WILL TRY NICHOLS
Prosecutor Says His Case Has Not
Been Postponed.


Assistant Prosecutor Ward denied the
story that arrangements haye been COM
peted for putting over the trial of George
E. Nichols for perjury, in connection with
the water deal litigation until the Decem-
Der term Of the Hasting court. where the
case had been taken from Grand Rapids
on a change of venue.
mo such arrangement has been made
to my knowledge" said Mr. Ward. The
prosecuting attorney at Hasting is looking
after the matter for me. We have ex-
pected to go to trial the very first of the
month, but Judge Smith was forced to
hold short term Of court in Charlotte.
This has put us out little. But expect
that the case will go on the last of the
month. have my arrangements made
to bring on F, H. Garman from New York
and Witness Stow from Dakota at that
time"
1t is understood that Mr.. Nichols has
retained Attorney Phil Colgroye Of Has

Belding won the opening game of the
season last Friday afternoon, defeating
Lowell High school by score Of S to o..
The teams were evenly matched and it
was a closely contested game Robinson
making the only touch down Of the game
on a quarterback run. The team lined up
as follows Drummond, center; Boyer
and Mann. guards; Ryerson' and Nash,
tackles; Howe and Spencer, ends; Robin
son. quarterback; Gleason and Pnkney,
half-backs and Stanton, rlllback
The team has joined the state inter
scholastic association and will try for the
state championship. There are large
number Of candidates for the team, and
they are taking daily practice under the
supervision of Coach Alvin Wright.
There will probably be some changes in
the lineup before another game. Wads-
worth has returned to school and will
probably play full-baok. Stanton will
take his old position at guard and Howe
at centre. With the exception Of Morris,
Page and Wilder, all Of last years team
are in the game besides several new re-
cruits. Last year Beding was not scor-
ed against, making % points to their
opponents none, and the chances for thie
years team look bright. Geo. Spencer is
captain and Fred Stanton. manager.

E. G. Sharratt Shot.

Il. u. Sharratt, postmaster and mer-
chant at Lutjens, was found in his bed
about o'clock last Saturday morning
with a bullet wound i'll his neck. He
was in semi i-conscious state, and a
few hours later apparently lost the
power of speech. Whether the injury
was self-inflicted, either accidentally or
with suicidal intent. or was the result
OF an attempt at murder, is simply a
matter for conjecture. Not enough
light has so far. been shed upon the in L.
cldent to warrant the expression of an
opinion. Sheriff Ross and Drs. Parker
and Carter went to Lutjens Saturday
night. The physicians did everything
possible for the injured man, but every
effort put forth by them and the Sheriff
to learn the cause of the shooting failed
Dr. Carter has remained with the un.
fortunate man and Wednesday evening
sent for Sheriff Ross, Coroner Soule
and DR.. Parker in the belief that Mr..
Sharratt was dying. Deputy District
Attorney Swope was also present. The
latter returned this morning and an-
nounced that when he left Lutjens YES
terday afternoon Mr., Sharratt seemed
to be rallying, but was still unable to
speak. The Sheriff, Coroner and ply
sicians are still with him.
Mr.. Sharrat is a widower and was
making his home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Green. 1t is reported the latter
have stated that they heard no shot
fired Friday nighto or Saturday morning.
A % caliber rifle was found on Mr..
Sharratt's bed. 1t is also reported that
there are no burns or powder marks
around the wound, which if true, seems
to lend color to the theory of foul play
which seems to prevail.

After SO Years.

There arrived in Toledo Tuesday
evening from Washington county, Iowa
William N. Hyde and wife and Mrs.
Catherine Griffin. Mr.. Hyde and Mrs.
Griffin are brother and sister of our
fellow-citizen County Treasurer J. L.
Hyde. AS noted by THE LEADER re.
Gently, the brothers and sister parted
in Iowa SO years ago on the 4th day of
this coming May, when ]. L. started for
Oregon. This was their first meeting
since that date. Mr.. Hyde of Iowa is
in his list year-l0 years younger than
j. Land the sister is CT. Age corsid-
cred, they certainly constitute vigor-
Gus trio. The visitors will remain In
Toledo two or three months and then
proceed to Los Angeles, Calf, where
reside other relatives.

buzz of appreciation for a signal of

OF course the audience was some W hat
surprised when the Professor stated
that one of the most beautiful sympho-
MES which the talkophone reproduced
was composed by our fellow-citizen,
J. J. Waggoner. However, after due
deliberation, the Professors statement
was accepted-on probation.

Progressing.

For the benefit of 'inquiring friends
THE LEADER will state that the work o
preparing for Lincoln county's exhibit
at the Lewis and Clark Fair goes stead.
lily on. A number of prominent citi.
zens of the county have responded to
the committees request for assistance
from all who are interested, and at this
writing there seems to be no cause for
uneaSiness or spasms. Once more let
il be stated that no citizen of the coun-
ty is barred from participation in this
work. In fact, every man who peti.
toned the County Court for the appro-
priation should feel sufficiently inter.
ested to lend his aid in collecting the
exhibit. The committee will certainly
appreciate and give credit for all such
assistance. There seems to be a dispo.
sition upon the part of some who made
the loudest clamor for the appropria-
tion to waste their energy in kicking
and growing when it might much bet.
ter be employed in proving their con-
sistency and loyalty to the county.
The principal part of the work will be
that of securing material for the ex.
hibit suitable for the opening of the
Fair. AS the season advances the ex-
hibit may be easily increased and en-
hanced in beauty and merit with the
best products of the soil of Lincoln
county. While it is generally regretted
that the exhibit was not decided upon
during the growing season of 1901, thus
giving opportunity to prepare display
for the opening day of the Fair which
would have been hard to excel, there is
yet time and material for securing an
exhibit which will be credit to the
county. You are invited to help.
Please be good, now, and don't kick.

The Whipping-Post

Anent the proposed revival OF the
ancient mode of furnishing men who
broke the monotony of married life by
beating their wives, the Oregonian con-
tributes the following
"Plainly stated, the wiiebeater knows
the woman he is dealing with. She is
a moral coward-he physical coward.
And against this combination no re-
formatory statute can prevail. The
physical coward of this type will not
hesitate to use his fists when enraged
or in his cups upon his wife, knowing
to certainty that the moral coward
whom he thus assails will shield him
from all consequences of a punitive
nature, by silence II possible, by lying
if questioned too closely, and, failing
in both, by begging for his release.
"The brutal creature miscaled man
who beats his wife deserves forty
lashes well laid on upon his bare back.
OF that there can be no question. That
officers of the law, like the present
Sheriff of Multnomah county, for en-
ample, would really enjoy being master
OF ceremonies upon an occasion of this
kind is more than probable. But it is
by no means certain that the woman in
the case would give such testimony as
would be necessary to bring the culprit
to the whipping post, stripped for ac-
tion. The simple truth, tersely stated,
is that if Il woman won't be whipped
she doesn't have to be. If she will sub
NIT to conjugal discipline of this kind,
she furnishes the cowardly brute his
opportunity, and Of this opportunity
no statutory enactment can deprive
him. How would it be for women who
are under the menace of their hus-
bands fist to take a few lessons in jiu-
jitsu and keep these conjugal pleasant
ries in the family"
A woman who will permit her hus-
band to beat her more than once de-
serves but little sympathy. She should
either kill the brute or get divorce.
The first-named means of escape from
her troubles is perhaps the wiser.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Although Congress has been in ses-
sion about two weeks it has not yet
passed measure providing for the
election of United States Senator's by
direct vote. This is q surprise-m
or less.
An Oregon housewife, through the
Pacific Homestead, asks some sister to
tell her how to make "good coffee, like
you get at hotels and restaurants"
She is probably trying to give her hus-
band grounds" for starting a divorce
suit.
Oregon young men better hurry. If
that bill raising the marriage license
fee from So to S. becomes law it
means the loss of two good American
plunks to the procrastinating lover.
Two dollars will buy whole lot of Cas-
toria. Later-No hurry; bill defeated
A bill has been introduced in the
Oregon Legislature giving County
Courts power to appoint bee inspectors
Hitchcock will probably resent this.
He may demand the right to furnish
this state with all the inspectors
needed-and a few who are not needed.
Russias long predicted internal
troubles have materialized and riot and
bloodshed have been the order of busi-
for several days. II seems to be ver-
table reign of terror. The outbreak
should have a tendency to bring to a
close the war between Russia and
Japan.
The expected trouble has begun.
Saloonkeepers in certain Oregon towns
which went 'dry" last June are selling
liquor under licenses granted by the
city fathers. 1t Is scheme to test the
law, which does not permit incorporated
cities TO manage their own affairs, so
far as the liquor question is concerned.
The Oregonian of Monday, in a COL
umn write-up of the Third House,"
asks: "Will Charley Crosno, recently
appointed Collector of Customs at va
quina at salary of $1,000, be so busy
collecting 40 cents this year that he will
not awake to ecstacy the slumbering
echoes of the Capitol" The question
is respectfully passed up to Gar Hitch
cock.
The state quarantine offices at Ore
gon ports will probably be abolished
by act of the present Legislature and
be succeeded by stations established by
the Government. This arrangement
will be much more satisfactory. Uncle
Sam is quite liberal, and the contests
for the new plums should awaken some
interest To be sure, the duties of the
quarantine officer are practically nil at
port like Yaquina, but the salary is
entirely too small to justify him in tot
ing the burden of dignity.
A so.called evangelist has broken out
in Portland. His pet target is the
lodges or secret societies, and some OF
the names which he calls them are al.
most as bad as Russian. He refers to
the members as buzzards, and is in
favor of shooting them This brand OF
evangelist should be muzzled. He does
the cause for which he labors more
harm than all the immoral elements
combined in the small territory which
he may call his field. While fraternal
societies can never supplant the Chris
tian religion, the good which they &C
complish cannot be discounted. and
their enemy is the enemy Of widows
