The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1906-02-09

Is, New York, Feb. GA special to
the World Gays: Lawyers here diff
! fer as to how the angry Countess de
Castellane can carry out her ex.
pressed purpose to leave her hus.
! band without franc. To some it
does not appear certain that the
Gould property 10 New York is
wholly out of Count Boni's reach,.
even though materially outside of
| French Jurisdiction. Much might
depend upon how an individual
Judge might decide. Therefore
some lawyers regard it-possible that
in order to avoid protracted routine
and long proceedings upon appeal,
the countess and her trustees might
find it expedient to allow Count
Boni "alimony." @s
It has been known that for long
time the Castellane family and
Countess Anna have rot been on
the best of terms. They openly
.sneered in society at her 'tan-
trums," as they called her ,objec-
tions to Count Boni's frequent inf
delitias. The Marquis de Castel.
lane, her father-in-law, offended
Countess Annals American spirit
by referring to her as of the "bour-
geoisie" and saying:
She paid her money. she now
bears name distinguished in
France, she has our position In So
clety. What the devil does she ex-
! pect-to make saint out Of our
bad little Boni?" :.
Now up to the very hour of going
into court the Castellanes have
been fguratively on their knees to
the little ''bourgeois," so Anna
Gould has bad some little revenge.
Estimates in New York place the
expence of main ntenance of Count
: de Castellane to the Gould family
at $8, 100000.

Washington, Feb. 6.-President
Roosevelt today withdrew from the

for Oregon, and then forwarded to
Mr.. Bristol a copy of his letter to
the Coos Bay Land and Improve
G2cnt company, together with that
company's. letter testifying to the
authenticity of the original.
M. Bristol will be expected to
make prompt explanation of this
transaction, showing what excuse
if any, there was in attempting to
derive fees from both parties to a
contract when he was employed as
attorney for one party.
If Mr.. Bristol fails to make sat-
isfactory explanation, the president
will probably call for his resigna'
tion and ask Senator Fulton to re-

place.

Judicial District. arrived in town Monday
evening, to hear additional evidence in the
case of the territory VS.. Jap Clark charged
with the murder of James Chase at Tor

failed to appear, on account of not having
had time to get the word and reach Estan-
cia by that date A. B. Renehan, of Santa
Fe, was present to represent Clark and
District Attorney Clancy, to represent
the territory. A referee was appointed to
take the evidence at Santa Fe, at a fu-
ture date after which Judge Mann will
pass upon it.
The Judge madeus a pleasant call on
Tuesday afternoon, and having at one
time been newspaper man made himself
at home as soon as he got whiff of ink

House Was Crowded.

The box supper at the school house on
Wednesday night drew large crowd and
all expressed themselves as having had a
good time. The program as published
was carried out with few changes, all
the participants accrediting themselves
we'll. The sale of the boxes netted the
neat sum of $23 60, which will be used
for Missions. One thing has been proven
beyond doubt, either the people must
stop coming into the valley or we must
secure larger hall in which to meet.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
SUCCESS.

( The Farmers Institute held last Satur-
day under the auspices of the Estancia
Valley Development Association scored a
success from every point of view. AL
though the holding of such Institutes
was one of the first objects of the organ
ization of the association, conditions had
not been such that they could heretofore
be successfully carried out.
Prof. j. j. Vernon, of the College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, read two
very interesting papers on Pumping for
Irrigation" and "Orchard Management"
Mr.. Edwin Walter, civil engineer and
geologist of Alamogordo gave talk on
"Water Supply which brought forth q
general discussion.
A basket dinner was served in the
school house at noon and a social time
was he'd during the intermission of two
hourse. Frank Barka of Antelope Springs
furnished music with his phonograph dur
ing the intervals between the speaking,
throughout the day, thus adding materi-
ally to the pleasure of the occasion.

TO DEVELOP
ARTES!AN WATER
Citizens viii Organize Stock Company to
Sink Test Well

At meeting of a number who are in
terested ia the matter of an attempt for
Artesian Water, held at the Postofflce
last Monday night, ways and means for
making test were discussed and it was
thought best to form a stock company
and make thorough test. A committee
was named 70 call upon the citizens of the
valley and secure any subscriptions which
may be given toward such a proposition,
and after all have been given an oppor-
tunity to subscribe, stock cumpany is to
be Incorporated of these having thus sub
scribed. AS soon as possible, piece of
patented land is to be secured by the COM
pany and the test made thereon.
1t is the idea of those who expressed
themselves at the meeting, to secure a
franchise from the county commissioners
to furnish water for the town of Estancia,
as soon as it has sufficient growth to
make such scheme feasible.
A nice beginning of the list was made
before adjournment and no doubt the
committee will meet with good success.
Our people should not wait for the COM
mttee to call on them, but decide before
hand what each can do, and see any mem
Der of the committee, whose names we
give: R. A. Marble, J.R. Wash, N. S.

Dr.. BARTON WANTED
AS WITNESS IN TERRITORY

Dr. A. P. Barton who filed on a home
stead south Of town was taken to Santa
Fe Sunday by Deputy United States
Marshal Fornoft, who will later take
him to Eufaula, I. #. DR.. Barton is
wnated there for failure to obey a sub.
poena to appear asa witness before
grand jury in a murder trial The court
issued an attachment for him and the
order for his delivery to the Indian Ter
ritory officials was signed by Judge
Mann before the judge left for Estanca
DR.. Barton told the deputy that he
would have gladly obeyed the summC MS
ofthe grand jury before quitting Indian
Territory but thar his wife was very i'll
and he needed what money he had to
bring her to New Mexico and care for
her When this is brought to the attention
of the court, Dr. Barton will probably be
left off with reprimand after giving his
testimony.
The warrant which caused the arrest
of the doctor was based upon the charge
of contempt of court.
The case in which he is witness is an
important one since it involves the life
of another doctor, Claud H. Mills by
name, who is a resident of EufauIa,
Mills, it is alleged, poisoned a Young
girl in that town in attempting to con
ceal another crime. An effort was made
to save her life by DR.. Barton but, willie
he succeeded in conteracting the effects
of the poison, conditions resulted which
caused the girl to die. DR.. Barton said
he did not leave Indiae Territory to
avoid telling what he knew of the affair,
to save Mills.He was not locked up while
at Santa Fe but was allowed to occupya
room in the Claire Hotel. He told De-
putty Fornof that he would make no
attempt to escape.

AGAIN IS THE
CENTRAL SOLD
Crcdsnce is Given the Report that the Deal
is about to be Consummated.

Again the rumored sale of the Santa Fe
Central Railroad is holding the boards and
and receiving columns of space in the
various newspapers. The column dis
cuss ion and series of statements in last
Saturdays Albuquerque Journal brought
forth denias from Gen. Francis J. Torrance
and Col w. S. Hopewell in the afternoon
papers. The Journal has strong second
in the Denver Post despite the denials.
The fact that all the men in the local shops
have been laid off, except the blacksmith
gives credence to the rumor here and goes
to show that there is something up"
The following from Wednesdays Jour
nal would indicate that it is not all off,
at least
Special to the Morning Journal.
Pittsburg, Pa, Mar. GA meeting of
the Pennsylvania Development company,
owners of the Santa Fe Central railroad,
was held here tonight at which it is an
nounced, it was agreed to accept the offer
made for the railroad by C. w. Tallmadge,
of Chi-ago. The formal negotiations will
be completed within week and the trans
fer will be made Immediately thereafter.
Francis J. Torrance, vice president of
the Santa Fe Central, said tonight that he
would issue statement when the sale is
consummated The sum realized from the
sale of the road will he an enormous bene'
fit to the depostors of the closed Enter
prise bank. Some of the properties of
the Santa Fe Central railroad had been
rated by Special Examiner E. P. Moxey,of
the bank as doubtful" the others as
'good,"
The sale is now said to be nearing con-
summation will put an entirely different
face on the next report covering these
properties. and it is agreed that the large
portion of the doubtful" assets would be
switched into the "good assets column,
for the real value of these prope rites is
not questioned here.
81 have not been informed of this sale"
said Receiver Thomas Rnaker of the
Enterprise bank tonight. "but it will be
a good thing for the depositors. | cannot,
however, undertake to say how much it
will do"
Various estimates of the price that is to
be paid for the railroad property have
been made here. The fact that the COM
pany has took issue of $4,000, 900 was
used as basis for the price to be paid.
Inasmuch as the proposed buyers offered
100 per cent of the actual money invested
in the building of the road and in securing |
the property, the amount of the bond issue
can barely be taken as indicating the
actual price offered. The new owners are
to assume the bonds issued by the road
and pay the stockholders the amount
their stock cost. What this will be is not
stated and it is likely that no statement
will be made until the matter has been
definitely closed up"

mons yesterday bill prohibiting plur-
al voting.
Hitherto the practice in this country
for voter to exercise the franchise
in perhaps half a dozen different To-

they desire to exercise the privilege Of
voting. If discovered voting elsewhere
they will be punished under the corrupt
practice act. The measure, if it becom-
es law will mainly affect the land

DISTRIBUTE SPORTING CARDS

! CHICAGO, May 3.--Complaints that
the minds of certain school children are
being corrupted by race track dope
led to the arrest yesterday OF J. 5,
Murray president of Bentley. Murray
& Company, printers of sporting score
cards. Twenty five charges of the illeg,
al employment of children are made
against Mr.. Murray. The prosecution
was instituted by Edgar I. Davies,
chief of the State Bureau OF Factory
inspection.
Two weeks ago a truant officer re-
ported to the compulsory education
department OF the board of education
that certain boys who had some under
his observation showed evidence of de-
moralization caused by their employ
ment to distribute race and baseball
result cards. The boys, who were said
TO be under fourteen years OF age, were
employed. it was found by the Bent
ley Murray.
The instructors of the youths in ques-
ton testified that the boys were list
less in their school work that their minds
were fixed only on the work of distr-
buting the racing results, and that they
were absorbed in sporting topics as a
direct outrowth of their employment.
In several instances actual betting on
the races and the ball games was dis
covered in the school precincts and trac-
ed directly to the boys thus employed
by the score card company. Some of
the boys employed, are said to have
''made books" on the races and other
sporting events, in which other school
children were taught to hazard their
pennies.

CANNOT UNLOCK CELL DOORS

SAN FRANCISCO, May Stocked il
separate cells in the city prison, ont
hundred prisoners whose crimes rang'
from plain drunkenness to brutal muir
der knclt in prayer when the earthquake
of April Is shook the hall of justice
from basement To tower top, Hardened
men and women appealed to God To spare
them. Their prayers for dclivcrance
came only after it became apparent
that the attendants could do nothing
for them, The earthquake had 81
twisted and warped the cell locks that
not door could be opened ior nearly
an hour.
Il never want to witness such sights
again" said Prison Matron Ryan oi the
central station prison, who was on duty
when the tremhlor came this morning
There were something like so men and
D. women in the cells on the morning
of the earthquake.
In our department there were aban'
loned creatures charged with all man
ner of crime. many OF whom | deemed
hopelessly lost. They cried and shrek
ed for mercy when the shock came, and
pleaded pitifully for release, Not one
cell could open and when | advised
my charges of this fact they knelt on
the hard cement floor and offered up a
fervent prayer in unison.
In the department OF the male pris'
oners the conditions were the same and
many OF the men attempted to destroy
their lives by battering their heads
against the steel bars when they rea.
lized that there was no chance for i'm
mediate release. They too prayed when
the attendants in charge managed Ia
get them calm enough and when it was
all over il was meek and humble nun
dred that we removed to the branch
county jail
Mrs Ryan was the last person to
leave the city prison. She was detained
by a female prisoner who became hys'
terical and just as the matron walked
under the immense glass dome cover
ing the prison Office the glass fell all
about her and her prisoner with 4 nigh
ty crash.
