DEATH OF SAMUEL WARD.


Dies at ara Advanced Age Mt His Home
sX In This City.
HSamuel Ward died at his home in
this city Saturday night, October IA,
of old age and general breaking
down of health, superinduced by
alcoholism. Friday night he was
found by some boys in the vicinity of
his home, in a stupor and they assist
ed him into the house. He reused
somewhat and refused to be put into
bed, SO was left in half reclining
position across the bed. Saturday
evening he was found in the same
position, evidently not having stirred
since the boys left him. Mayor David
Taylor was notified and Immediately
took steps for the old mans relief.
A physician was called and attend
ants left with him, but he expired
about midnight< The funeral occur

BOTH ARE CONVICTED
JONES AND POTTER ARE FOUND
GUILTY.
Wade Is Acquitted Jury Reaches
Its Verdict in Less Than
Forty Minutes.

Willard N. Jones and Thaddeus S.
Potter were found guilty late Satur-
day evening of conspiring to defraud
the government of public lands, says
the Journal.
IRA Wade, county clerk of Lincoln
county, who was indicted and tried
with them, was acquitted.
Less than 40 minutes was required
to enable the jury to reach its verdict.
Three ballots were taken and on
each the vote was unanimous for the
conviction of Jones and Potter. On
the first ballot seven votes were cast
for the conviction of Wade, four for
bis acquittal and one was blank. On
the second ballot nine jurors voted
mot guilty" as to Wade, and three
soted guilty" The third ballot
gave IL votes for Wade's acquittal.
Word came from the jury room soon
after II O'Clock that a verdict had
been reached, but considerable delay
ensued before all the defendants and
their attorneys reached the courtroom.
@. P. Bishop, the foreman of the jury,
handed the verdict to Judge Hunt,
who in turn gave it to the clerk. AS
the latter read the verdict Jones rose
from his seat, leaned across the table
and grasped the hand of his more for
tunate codefendant, Wade, in generous
congratulation. The example was
quickly followed by Potter.
In a few brief words Judge Hunt
dismissed the jury, thanking them
for their labors. Counsel for the de-
tense were granted until November
to prepare motions in arrest of judg-
ment and for new trial, and it was
agreed that in the meantime the two
convicted defendants should be al
lowed to go on the bonds previously
given.
The crime charged against Jones
and Potter is conspiracy to defraud
the government of public lands in the
Siletz reserve, by means of fraudulent
homestead entries. The evidence
showed that number of old soldiers
had been procured to file on homestead
claims in the reserve, under contracts
with Jones, who agreed to advance all
funds necessary for improvements,
expenses and land Office fees. Each
entryman was also charged location
fee and the total of these charges,
amounting to $500, was secured by
mcrtgage on the claim, which in
cludes besides loan of $500. None
of the entrymen established actual
residence ON the land. Their proofs
were perjured and evidence was ad
duced showing that both Jones and
Potter were aware Of the perjury.

. In the circuit Court.

Circuit Judge w. r. Ellis yesterday
afternoon overruled the demurrers
filed by the attorneys for the defense
in the cases of the two men now under
indictment charged with having sold
liquor to Indians. Consequently these
cases will now be brought to trial at
the coming jury session and it is
presumed that the case will be taken
to the supreme court SO as to fully
determine the constitutionality of the
state law.
Yesterday morning Lester Swaggart
and John Endicott appeared before
Judge Ellis and entered pleas of guilty
to the charge of gambling and were
each sentenced to pay fines of $50.
These two men were supposed to ap-
pear for hearing Saturday afternoon,
but desiring more time, their cases
were held until yesterday. Yester-
day afternoon the arrangements of the
docket for the court session which is
to commence on October "a, was taken
up and with the various attorneys
present who have cases, the schedule
was made up SO as to be most con
venient for all.

Twenty new telephone instruments
of the latest pattern have just been
placed in use on Farmer Line No. 5,
the Mckay creek telephone line reach
ing from Pendleton to upper Mckay
creek and Rhodes sawmill, says the
East Oregonian. The new line extends
up both branches of the Mckay and
covers practically all the settlements
between Pendleton and the head of
The creek. Twenty patrons are now on
the line and it will accommodate at
least 80. The line is about 25 miles in
length and brings several of the most
prosperous country settlements in the
county in direct communication with
the county seat.

INDIANS CANNOT GET wH1sKEY
Federal sDecision Does Not Open the
Doors to the Indians of idaho.

Federal Decision Does Not Open the
Doors to the Indians of Idaho.
The Indians in Idaho cannot drink
whiskey, says the Lewiston Tribune.
This is the opinion expressed by Geo.
W. Tannhill on commenting on the
recent decision of the circuit court of
appeals in the Dick case. In render
ing this decision, which held that
liquor could be introduced on the Nez
Perce reservation, the jurisdiction of
the state being exclusive in that re-
gard, the court further gave comment
on the effect of the decision as it might
apply to encourage the consumption of
intoxicants by Indians with its evil
effects, and suggested that the legis-
lature had power to regulate the sale
of liquor, and therefore, could pro-
hibit its sale to Indians. Mr.. Tam
hill, in speaking of this phase Of the
decision of the court, said he was sat
isfied at this time it was a violation
of the law to sell liquor to an Indian
in Idaho, for the reason that there is
a state statute making such an act a
crime. He quotes the language of the
statute as follows:
every person who sells or furnish
es, or causes to be sold or furnished,
Intoxicating liquors to an Indian, is
guilty Of misdemeanor. y
This section of the law can be found
in the penal code of 1901, section
ATT, and in the revised statutes of
1887, section 1927.
The law was passed in 1879, at a
time when the Indians in the state
were causing much trouble to the
whites through drunkenness. The law
also prohibited them from carrying
firearms. 1t seems that the federal
law, making it penitentiary offense
to sell liquor to the Indians. took pre-
cedence over the state law, in view of
the more severe penalty, and the state
enactment has also remained dead
letter to be revived at this time, when
by two decisions of the higher branch
es of the federal court it held the state
laws apply to the Indian country.

MERCURY IN OREGON
VEIN OF QUICKsILvER STRUCK
IN 0CH0CO DISTRICT.
Vein Matter Runs From Two to Three
Feet in Width and Is A bout
55 per Cent Mercury.

One of the richest mineral strikes
in the history of Crook county was
made few days ago in the upper tun-
mel of theAlamedan property on Look
out mountain. About 150 feet from
the tunnel the miners encountered a
vein which was cross-cut for short
distance, when stopping was COM
menced, says the East Oregonian.
The overhead work was continued
for distance of 30 feet, the vein mat
ter continuing to increase in size until
the work was stopped in order to be-
gin timbering. The wall is almost a
solid face of cinnabar, the vein matter
running from two to three feet in
width carrying ore which will run
about 30 per cent Of mercury.
From present indications it is taken
that the stopping when continued will
lead into an immense body of the
mineral, as there are no visible signs
of the vein matter being pinChed out
by the walls.
This, together with the fact that
many smaller veins and stringers have
been repeatedly cut during the pro-
gress of the tunnel work lead those in
charge to believe that they are not far
from an immense deposit of the min
eral. The new boiler for the dryer
will be shipped from Portland this
week. The management is anxious
to get in months run before the
heavy snow compels them to close
down for the winter and work in
consequence will be pushed ahead as
rapidly as possible.

best third rank team work, and the
contest was open to all the lodges of
the state, five of which competed for
the honor. After the cup was won by
Damon Lodge No. A, the lodge name
and date of winning was engraved

DIE 0 OF GROUP.

Mrs. Matilda Ann Akers of Pendleton
Succumbs After Short Illness.
The following particulars in regard
to the death of Mrs. Akers, which oc-
cured in Pendleton Sunday morning,
we clip from the East Oregonian. Mr..
and Mrs. M. L. Akers went down
Sunday evening to Pendleton. and
have not yet returned:
Mrs. Matilda Ann Akers, of the
west end Of the city, died yesterday
morning after brief illness with
laryngeal Group. The remains were
shipped to lone by Baker & Folsom
this morning and the funeral services
will be conducted at that place to-
morrow morning.
Mrs. Akers came here from her
home at lone IL days ago on visit TO
her stepsons, the Akers boys in this
city, and had been here but few
days until she was attacked with the
fatal illness.
The laryngeal Group of which she
died is form of diphtberia and,
while not perhaps so infectious as the
genuine diphtheria, it is usually fatal.
