JASPER JENNINGS
GETS NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court Reverses the De.
cision Of the Circuit
Court.

The Supreme court this week rem
derd an opinion in the Jasper Jen-
nings case, granting new trial. the
motion for which has been standing
for the greater part of year. Jasper
Jennings was indicted jointly with
his sister Dora, for the alleged
killing of their father, Newton NJ.
Jennings, in September, 1905. The
trials were held separately at the
January term. Jasper was tried
first, verdict of conviction was Sc
cured and he was sentenced to be
hanged. Through his attorney. H.
D. Norton, he appealed to the su-
preme court.
A stay Of execution was granted
and now the judgment of the lower
court has been reversed and new
trial ordered. Dora Jennings was
ried also in the January term, the
jury failing to reach verdict. In
the retrial of the case in the April
term she was acquitted.
The reversal is made on the excep-
tions taken by Mr.. Norton to the rul-
ines of the lower court at the time Of
the trial. Five assignments of error
are specified. among them being the
admission of opinionated testimony

what point the fatal shot was fred.
There is considerable sentiment
among the people of this county, in
view of the reversal. that it might be
wiser to drop the case than to stand
the expense Of new trial and mo-
tion to that effect by the district at
torney would be largely commended.
The case against Jasper since his
first trial has been materially weak ened
by the acquittal Of Dora, as they
were indicted jointly. Though the
contention Of the state during his
trial was that he was principal in
the murder, 1t Is known that the ver-
dict of the jury was brought more on
the grounds OF his being an accessory.
The acquittal of Dora after full and
fair trial in which no evidence of
the state was excluded exerts a weak
ening effect on the case against Jas.
per, leaving him in the situation of a
presumptive accessory with no prin.
cipal. The evidence against both
was purely circumstantial, aud no
direct evidence could be produced
connecting either of them with the
murder.
With the exception of the Gibson
case, this is the only criminal case in
this judicial district which has been
brought back from the supreme court
for retrial and this fact is very sub.
stantial evidence of Mr.. Norton 4

DECISION FAVORS
FRUIT INSPECTOR
Jury Decides Radical Meo suros
May be Taken TO Rid District
of Diseased Trees.

The new law for the state of Ore
gon relating to spraying was upheld
last Friday at Oregon City when the
jury in the suit Of T. r. A. Sellwood
vs. James H. Reid brought in ver-
dict for the defendant after being out
about three hours. The verdict was
expected by all parties to the suit
and the jury was out longer than
was anticipated. - -
The trial Of the case lasted two
days and aroused intense interest not
only in Clackamas county but in other
sections of the state, as it was gener-
ally considered a test of the law.
under which Commissioner Reid.
while acting in his official capacity.
notified T. r. A. Sellwood of Mil
waukie to spray the trees in his Or
chsrd, and after his failure to do 80
took some men, went into the orchard
and cut down "a prune trees that were
infested with San Jose scale. The
law has been bitterly opposed and
sntagonized by several fruit growers
and the victory for the adherents Of
clean fruit is generally satisfactory.
The rulings Of Judge Mcbride on
questions that arose during the trial
were In favor Of the defendant In
every instance. The court said that
Reid had q right to out down the
trees, after Sellwood had failed to
comply with the law, and his in
structions to the jury were clear and
decisive.
He said there were only three propo.
sitions to be considered whether OF
not the orchard was infested whether
the plaintiff had been given notice
and time In which to spray, and
whether he had sprayed.
-. =. The court defnedI the duties of tho
fruit Inspector. aud said when the
official found an orchard In diseased
condition IL was his duty to notify
the owner, and after he had failed
and neglected to spray his trees, the
inspector could use his discretion In
either cutting down the orchard or
spraying the trees himself and oharg.
ing the expense as lien against the
property. He ruled that 1t was not
necessary for the fruit inspector to
warn of the consequences that might
ensue in the event of failure to spray.
and that ignorance Of the law was no
excuse.
The result Of the trial will make
things easier for the fruit inspectors,
who have had no easy task and have
aroused the enmity of scores of'people.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
ADDS THIRD TRAIN
Gives Night Train From Portland
to San Francisco and Makes
Run In 81 Hours.


will beEput into operation by the
Southern Pacific, beginning next Sun
day. The great increase in traffic be-
! tween Portland and San Francisco
during the pas, year has made the ad.
ditional train necessary. At present
the Overland leaving Portland each
evening is so crowded that it has been
the custom for the past few months
to run it in two sections. The same
is true of the train arriving there from
San Francisco in the mornings The
new train will clip two hours off the
present 36-hour schedule. In the
Spring, when the main line will be
in better condition for fast running,
better time probably will be made.
The new train to the south will
leave Portland daily at II 80 p. m. =,
arriving at San Francisco at 8 :4S a.
m.the second morning. The schedule
is intended to meet the demands of
busy men who dislike to spend more
time on the road than is absolutely
necessary. The time of departure
allows one to spend the evening in
Portland and take the train at bed
time. The present schedule, whereby
the evening Overland departs at s :45
p. M, makes it necessary for the
traveller to spend an additional even
ing ON the train.
The new overland will leave San
Francisco at 3 AS p. m. and reach
Portland at IL 80 p. m. the next
night. This arriving time will be a
decided benefit to passengers for the
Sound, who will be enabled to catch
the Northern Pacific train leaving at
II :45 p. m.
The new train will be officially
designated as No. 13. and, in addi-
tion to one Of the heaviest and most
powerful ..oil-burning passenger loco
motives in the Southern Pacific SER
vice. will have the following equip
ment: An observation car, diner,
three standard Pullmans, tourist
sleeper, a chair car. smoker and com
bination mail, baggage and express
car. Plans for the additional SER
vice have been in preparation for
some time.
In addition to another Overland,
some changes will be made in the
time card of the other through trains
Train No. IL, the morning Overland,
leaving at s a. m, will leave at 8 80,
giving connections with the Sound,
Spokane and West Side Southern Pa.
cific trains. This will prove benefit
to the travelling public, which will
appreciate it. Notwithstanding the
fact that the train will leave half al
hour later than at present, the time
of arrival in San Francisco will bt
the same, 6 :2S p. IN. the next evening
Train No. 12, leaving San Fran
cisco at 10 a. m, will be changed tC
leave the Bay City at 8 a. m. in
stead, reaching Portland at $3.50 p
M, instead of 7:l5, as at present, al
lowing earlier connections there.
Train No. 10. leaving Portland a.
S:45 p. m, will get away one houi
earlier, reaching San Francisco a.
Z AS a. m. instead of s:4S, as a

RED MEMS DAY
AT GRANTS PASS
Chiefs and Bucks Gather From
Adjoining Reservations
liz Adopted.

and from early morning until late at
night the Redmen had the town. The
Gold Hill girls band of IA pieces
under the leadership of Prof John
Nelson arrived on the early morning
train and at intervals throughout the
day rendered selections. They were
at the depot as the southbound pass
enger pulled in and rendered several
selections.
An engine gaily decorated with
bunting and bearing on the boiler
head the portrait of chief pulled the
train to Ashland and returned with
the RedmeD special which left Ash
lard at O'Clock and picked up Red
men at all intermediate points. A
few minutes before o'clock the
special arrived bearing six coaches
loaded with Redmen Of other tribes
who left the train with brandishing
tomshswks and a flourish of knives,
and many warwhoop rent the air
and re-echoed from hill top to hill
top. The evening parade was partici-
psted in by warriors in full costume,
squsws and papooses, headed by the
Gold Hill band and guarding the pale.
faces seeking adoption into the var.
ious tribes. The line Of march was
from the opera house south on Sixth
street for five blocks and returning on
Sixth to A street, then back to the
opera house. The entire distance was
ablsze with red fire and the air was
filled with sky rockets and the blaze
Of Roman candles
The ceremony Of adoption which
was held In the opera house was very
impressive and the lie palefaces who
were instructed in the ways Of the
chase by the hunting parties from the
tribes were thoroughly impressed
with the noble principles and teach
ings of the order.
At 10 O'Clock the work was finished
and all repaired to the banquet hall in
the new Tufts block where 400 Rcd
men sat down to a sumptuous feast.
Four tables stood side by side the full
length of the hall, each table seating
100 persons. Hardly was the banquet
over when the grand sachem of the
Q, ening called for speeches. Fist on
the list was L. L. Jacobs of Medford,
great sachem of the reservation of
Oregon, who spoke for few minutes
of the growth of the order aud of its
bright prospects for the future. Mr..
Butner of Portland brought tidings
from the Portland tribe-the Oldest
in the state, and reported their bucks
gathered on the hunting grounds,
game plentiful and all eager for the
hunt. Judge Vim. Crowell of Med.
ford was called upon and spoke in his
usual happy vein and his sallies OF
wit and off hand jokes made his
speech highly entertaining. Mr..
Crowell paid high tribute to the
Medford and Grants Pass teams for
the excellent drill work, saying that
of all work he had ever seen in secret
orders the work Of that night was the
best he had ever witnessed Last of
all the speakers came Mr.. Lee sof
Washington who brought out the facts
proving that the Order of Redmen
stood in the front rank of fraternal
orders and had as its foundation the
princiles of charity, friendship and
love. The order has had l2 presidents
of the United States within its ranks
from Washington to Roosevelt.
