SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2-Argu-

Ruef and his followers from inter-
fering with District Attorney Langdon
in the discharge Of his duties, were
begun this morning.
The court room was crowded.
Affidavits from Ruef and Acting
Mayor Gallagher were presented.
They contained complete denials Of
all the insinuations contained in
Langdon's complaint on which the in
junction issued and also a denial that
the defendant at any time contem-
plated taking the Office by force.
Ruef and Langdon were on the
stand but nothing Of Importance was
ELECTED from either. On the objection
by attorneys the latter was not per-
mitted to answer a question as to
what instructions he gave Heney
when he appointed him and Ruef was
not permitted to answer the question
as to whether he had had a confer
ence with Gallagher before the latter
selected him to take I4aesdon's place.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO SENATOR ANkENY
DECLARES SENIOR MEMBER WILL

SENATE IN 1909.

Senator Samuel H. Piles paid Sena-
tor Ankeny a nice compliment at the
republican rally held at Memorial
hall last night, by predicting that he
would be reelected in 1909. The
compliment brought out a round OF
applause from an overflow meeting
that greeted Senator Piles.
President Penrose acted as tenn
porary chairman in calling the meet
ing to order. He introduced Senator
Ankeny as chairman of the meeting
who, in turn, in a short speech, in
troduced Senator Piles.
Senator Piles preceded his political
speech by congratulating Walla Wal

Of SHEEP

Gus HaPras Loses TWentu-
Five Hundred Dollars
ANIMALS ACTUALLY EXPLODE
Drunken Sheepherder Allows
His Charges to Break Into a
Wheat Field.

Five hundred fine mutton sheep,
valued at $25OO have been charged up
to profit and loss by Gus Harras, the
well known butcher, as a result of his
sheepherder going on drunk last
Saturday and allowing big band Of
sheep to feed in a field OF wheat,
causing the death Of 500 of the ami
mails.
Mr.. Harras' confidence in sheep
herders with a pencnant for booze
has been rudely shocked as result
of his experience
Some weeks ago Mr.. Harras leased
big field Of stubble in which to
winter feed his stock sheep. In one
part of the field was a 40 acre tract
Of standing wheat. The sheepherder
was particularly instructed not to let
the sheep get into the wheat and for
several days he followed instructions.
Saturday, when the foreman of the
Harras slaughter house visited the
field. he found the herder in straw
stack, peacefully sleeping off a jag
and the field dotted with dead and
dying sheep. The foreman, on count
ing the sheep, found that nearly 300
were dead and since then the num-
ber has increased to 500.
In an effort to recuperate some of
his loss, Mr.. Harras dispatched seven
Of the men to the field and about 400
good skins were saved. The "skin-
ners" finished their work yesterday
and returned to the city.
Dry wheat, eaten in large guam
causing a fermentation tnat results
in the sheep swelling to huge propor-
tions.
Many of the dead sheep had actual
ly exploded"

MED this and say that he could do
nothing else than remove the warden
because of the methods he is alleged
to have employed in selling the grain
sacks made in the penitentiary. There
is a state law which prohibits the sale
of the sacks to persons buying them
for speculative purposes. The charge
against Kees was that he did
sell them to parties seeking to resell
at a profit. Kees admits this, but he
saws that he did not know about 1t;
that the men who purchased them
had NOT filled out the application
blank properly and in the rush at the
time bids were received says that he
did not note the fact that the bidders
in this special instance had failed to
fill In where the blank requires them
to state whether they are purchasing
the sacks for speculation.
The governors friends say that
they had hoped the boxers would re-
pudiate Kees wnen they found that
he had been removed for improperly
conducting the sack sale and confess
amazement when they learned that
many Of the leading lights in the an
ti-Crocker camp had repudiated the
governor instead.

HACK Is STILL THERE.
Sidewalk in Front Of the Beehive
Store Blocked With Vehicles,

All day yesterday and today the
sidewalk in front of the Beehive store
corner of First and Main streets has
been obstructed by an old hack
brought there night before last as a
Halloween joke.
The hack was stolen from the res
idence of A. Mcdonald, Lincoln and
Madison streets. presumably by a
gang of high school boys. After run
ming it down to the Beehive they took
off the wheels and hid the burrs rend-
ering the hack useless.
The proprietor of the store Is de-
sirous that the police remove the
trash in front of his door, but so far
nothing has been done.

BOXERS ADHERE To THEIR FALL EN- IDOL
ACCORDING TO OSCAR CAIN IN PORTLAND

Oscar Cain of the KEGS boxer bril-

other day and had himself inter-
viewed in the Oregon Journal to a
large extent.
Oscar gave birth to several cute re-
marks anent the KEGS removal AMI,
taken as the declaration of a boxer
leader, the aforesaid remarks indi-
cate that some Of the boxers are still
willing to wear the KEGS collar. The
interview and story follows:
Oscar Cain, a leading attorney and
politician of Walla Walla, Washing
ton, now at the Oregon, said today
that the move made by Governor
Mead in ousting A. F. KEGS as warden
at the penitentiary at walla walla,
would not result in placing Mead in
as high favor with Senator Ankeny as
Mead expects, and that B. D. Crocker,
Ankeny's political adviser, would knife
Mead In the campaign two years from
now.
IF Mead wanted to oust KEGS from
his position as warden for political
purposes he should have done so with
out making the charges against KEGS
that he did. The latter is not doing

cases against Fred Dryden, John
Kremer and Louis Grossmiller, heard
before Judge Huffman last week,
were begun in the justice court late
this afternoon following the taking Of
testimony in the Grossmiller case.
Grossmiller was called in his own
defense to explain the presence Of a
lunch counter in the rear Of his sa-
loon every Sunday. He said the res
taurant was formerly run by a man
named McRae but that McRae sold out
some weeks ago to another man. The
lunch counter was conducted in front
Of the saloon on week days but was
removed to the saloon on Sundays.
Grossmiller denied that any liquor
was sold in his saloon on the Sunday
in question.

INVESTIGATION Of PEN|IENTARY
IS TO Be MADE BY A COMMITTEE
B. Caon and Mrs. lef Shaw Have Been Appointed BY Gov
ernor Mead as the Wa||a Wa|a Members Of Commission
of Inquiry Which Meets Soon.

J B. Catron, warden of the state
penitentiary under Governor Rogers
administration, confirmed today the
announcement appearing in dispatch
10 the Seattle Times Wednesday that
he had consented to serve on a special
commission appointed by Governor
Mead to make q complete
investigation of affairs at the
penitentiary, report Of which
will be utilized by Governor
Mead in preparing his message to the
legislature in January.
The commission will be composed of
six members, Mr.. Catron and Mrs. L.
F. Shaw, of Walla Walla, Frank J.
Bernard, a regent of the state college,
Attorney S. G. Cosgrove of Pomeroy,
Adjutant General Ortis S. Hamilton
of Olympia and Professor Elliott of

Grainbags the Cause.
The appointment of a commission
to examine into penitentiary affairs
is said to be the result Of the grain
bag scandal resulting in the dismissal
of ex-Warden KEGS and tales of cruel
ty to convicts recounted in a series OF
special articles in the Seattle Times,

ly detrimental to the health of the
convicts.
One Of the main objects of Governor
Mead in appointing the commission, it
is said, is to investigate the feasibil-
ity Of separating the young convicts
and first offenders from the hardened
criminals and the establishment of a
reformatory prison which is being agi-
tated by the governor.
The governor will present to the
legislature in January, bill providing
for tho erection of a reformatory pris-
on at some point in the western part
of the state, presumably either Seat
tie or Tacoma, where youthful Grimm
ais Or first offenders will be confined,
instead of harboring them with hard
ened criminals and degenerates as at
present.
Ex-Warden Catron was selected as
a member Of the committee through
the wide experience he had as warden
Of the prison for several years and his
knowledge is expected to be Of valu-
able assistance in gaining the inform
alton wanted by Governor Mead.

In arguing the case, Attorney Bland
ford referred to the restaurant as a
mere pretext in order that the sa-
loon might be kept open on Sundays.
Attorney Blandford summed up the
evidence in the Grossmiller case given
by Policeman Johnson, which was, in
effect, that the rear doors of the
saloon were open. that people passed
in and out all day long, that men
were standing before the bar Of the
saloon and that the bartender was
there part Of the time.
In the Kremer case Attorney Bland
ford showed that Officer Johnson saw
men standing before the bar drinking
on September Is and the bartender
was behind tne bar. The attorneys
for the defense are arguing at length
the validity Of the city ordinance.

criminals and first offenders" said Mr..
Catron today. During my admins
tration as warden there were as high
as 100 boys and young men in the
prison at a time, ranging from 16 and
II to 25 years of age. am convinced
that had there been separate place
for these young criminals, many of
them would have reformed and become
useful citizens. The same conditions
exist at the prison today and Cover
nor Mead's effort to establish a re-
,formatory prison separate from the
regular prison is certainly a laudable
one"
Mr.. .Catron said this morning ne had
received no official notification as to
mission would be in Walla Walla to
begin the investigation and he did not
even know who was to be chairman
Of the commission.
1t is surmised, however, that mas
much as Governor Mead is extremely
anxious to secure the information
wanted, as early as possible. the COM
mission will meet about the middle
Of the month,
