PAT DIVINE
DOOMED
Found Guilty of Murder
in Second Degree Gets
Life Sentence

! Patrick Divine must spend the re-
mainder of his days behind the walls
of the state penitentiary if the sen
tence inflicted upon him by the jury
is carried out.
( The case was given 70 the jury
yesterday evening at o'clock. and
at Q o'clock a verdict was reached
court and the verdict of the jury
was read. Divine was found guilty
of murder in the second degree and
was given the extreme penalty
life mprisonment,-the verdict be-
ing agreed upon by every member
of the jury.
Divine seemed but little disturbed
by the verdict, showing no emotion
whatever. He was evidently expect
ing nothing less than n life impris-
onment, and, after n review of the
evidence. it would seem that he was
very fortunate in not getting the
death sentence.
No appeal will be made in the
case. Mr.. Rhone, the defendants at
torney, states. Divine is in Jail
awaiting his departure for Canon
City to enter upon his sentence.
Yesterday afternoon Divine took
the witness stand in his own defense
and he proved very good witness.
He declared that Duffy had made
threats agains him, had stated that
he would split his head with an ak,
and that Duffy had also flourished
razor and threatened to cut his
throat. Divine and fellow named
johnson had traded finger rings and
Duffy Interested himself in the deal,
stating that Divine had cheated John
son. The quarreling followed. Di-
vine stated that when he entered the
office of the Star lodging house on
the night of Sunday, January 10,
with gun in his hand, that Duffy
raised a chair to strike him and then
he shot him to death. Divine stated
that his acquaintance with Duffy had
been very short.
Witnesses to the shooting intro
duced by the state stated that the
killing was without provocation, and
that Duffy raised the chair, not to
strike Divine, but to protect him
self from Divine's revolver.
Witnesses were introduced by both
sides to testify regarding the char
acter of Divine and also regarding
tho oh n go ctar of Duffy
The closing arguments of the at
torneys were short. and the instruc-
tions to the jury were quickly given
by Judge Stevens. He would not
instruct the jury regarding man
slaughter. Divine was guilty of muir
der in one of its degrees. which de
gree the jury was to decide. The YER
diet was a surprise to no one.
Attorney Rhone made hard fight
for Divine. handling the defense in
very able manner. The evidence
against the defendant was very
strong throughout and the case was
black one, the tragedy a horrible
one in its details. and. Judging by the
evidence, Divine richly merited Sc
we're sentence.

Baker City CIammors for Cars.

Baker City is threatened with a
coal famine unless the present stu
alton is changed Immediately. Today
there is no coal to be had for love or
money in Baker City with the excep-
tion of one firm which is dealing out
a couple Of sacks here and a couple
of sacks there to its patrons and this
supply is Just about exhausted. 1t is
estimated that by tomorrow night
there will not be single sack of coal
for sale at any price in Baker City.
The dealers say the cause of this
condition is the inability to get cars
to handle the coal from the mines. A
salt Lake firm writes to its local deal
er here that they are 500 cars behind
in their orders with no prospect of i'm
mediate relief. All the other dealers
say they have plenty of coal ordered
but the mines say that cars cannot be
secured to make the shlpments-Bak.

SOCIETY NEEDS \ HOME.
Effort Made to Secure Funds To Erect
AN Oregon Historical Building.

The Oregon Historical society is de-
termined to secure funds with which
to build memorial hall, says the ore
gon Daily Journal. If the $50, 200 can
be raised and site for the proposed
structure secured, the society will be
entitled to the gift of $4,000 from
the Lewis and Clark exposition state
commission, as provided in the act of
the state Legislature, which appropri-
ated 100000 toward the exposition.
William ID. Fenton, president of the
society. appointed committee of
three yesterday, consisting of Fred
erick V. Holman, J. y. Teal and Paul
Wcssinger, to take charge of the pro-
ject to secure the $4,000 and arrange
details.
In order to secure the gift from the
fair 1t will be necessary for the city to
provide for the maintenance of the
building. This will require some ac-
tion by the city council but it is
thought the city will be willing to
make the necessary appropriation.

Estimates showing the cost of sub

1t has been known for some time
that the Hartman lines in this terri
tory would adopt the liquid fuel. not
entirely because of it's cneapness. but
owing to the advantages from the
standpoint of cleanliness. says the
Portland Telegram.
The change will probably be warm
ly welcomed by the passenger depart

the use of oil travelling is made more
comfortable, and 1t means less work
for the men i'm the shops. To the fire
men it is boon.
The reason railroads give for fail

The Laundry That Don't Crack Your Collars



The contest in New York city is not
OF so much interest as was promised
earlier in the campaign. The Hearst
mayoralty boom appears to have
found its level, and is not expected To
cut much of "a figure in the result,
though there are some who predict
that the young candidate ON the
municipal ownership ticket viii show
up better than is generally expected,
But the reelection of Mayor McClel-
Ian appears to be a fore gone cOnclu-
sion. The failure OF the republicans
to find Il candidate for mayor who
measured up to the occasion has ap-
parently left the party without a
chance of winning. 1t is believed that

ming as an Independent. will again be

Ignorance Was Expensive.

In the early experiments there was
but slight knowledge Of the substance
as fuel. which resulted i'm speedy burn
ing out OF crown sheets. The use OF
oil on locomotives was introduced as
early as 1885 on two locomotives on
the Southern Pacific system in Cali
fornia, which were operated success
fully with much the same style of
burners as are in use now, but the fuel
cost SO n barrel and even at that price
was regarded more valuable for re-
filming. So in view of its cost and the
belief that the supply was limited
and would not warrant the expense of
establishing tanks along the line, the
engines were changed back to coal
burners.
So much attention is given to oil
in the northwest by railroads that all
reports of discoveries of the fluid in
any of the districts are investigated.
While oil can be landed from Calfor-
MIA points on a basis that makes II
decidedly cheaper to burn than coal.
1t will still prove an expensive fuel for
the o. II. & N. owing to the necessity
Of the long haul from Portland to
points OF distribution in eastern Ore
gon and Washington.
VIII Employ Steamers and Bargcs.
Tank steamers will be employed to
carry the oil from the south. and IL
will be pumped into two immense
| tanks at Albina. To all tanks as far
as The Dalles, 1t will be transported
in barges. but beyond that point tank
| cars must be used.
1t is estimated that an expenditure
of $500 is necessary to alter each lo'
comotive. This includes also the cos
Of the tank and installing it. The fue
is being burned to advantage on tn,
line of the Astoria Il Columbia Rive
railroad, and for two years was thu
only fuel on the Columbia SouthcrT
before the control OF that line passed
to the Hartman system; since. then /
has been continued.

A large crowd gathered at the

Dancing was the chief amusement
and was enthusiastically entered
into. At this writing it is rumored
that one young man will go there
armed with license from Idaho
City and will join his lady fair
until "death do part them" There
are two suspicious candidates, hence
the writer will call no names.
Nearly all Crawford turned out
in sleighs to Vanwyck on the first
Sunday evening in December, the
occasion being Rev. Johnson's first
sermon preached in Vanwyck. Mr..
Johnson is an earnest and impress
sive speaker and inspires his hear
ers with better hopes. He should
have large audiences every time,
as he did on the occasion of his debut.
L. M. Gorton of Smiths ferry
had a turkey chartered from Van
Wyck for his Thanksgiving dinner.
But when the stage stopped at the
postofice at Crawford, one of
crowd of conspirators did spirit the
turkey away, so Mr.. Gorton has
tasted his Thanksgiving turkey
not yet.

lumber company, has been with
