ROsEBURG SYSTEM BOUGHT.
Willamette Valley Company Expected
to Extend Line to Coast.

Information was received at Rose.
burg Tuesday night that the water.
works and electric light systems O,
this place had been sold to the vii.
lamette Valley Company. Already
this company has secured similar
systems in cities along the line from
Portland south as far as Cottage
Grove, and now the purchase of the
Roseburg system seems to point to
the fact that the proposed electric
line will not only be built to accom-.
modate the Willamette Valley, but
will be extended to this place.
1t is believed the road is to be ex.
tended to Coos Bay. and the route
likely to be selected will be by way
of this place and over the route
through Camas valley and down the
Coquille river to Myrtle Point.

BARNES
MUST
HANG
1t is Not Probable that Gov
ernor Will Interfere With
Execution of Sentence.

1t is entirely improbable that Gov
| ernor Chamberlain will interfere
with the execution of the sentence in
the case of John c. Barnes, sem
fenced to be hanged for the murder
of William Graham.
Within the past week a strong ef-
fort was made to have the governor
pardon Barnes on the grounds that
the corpus delictu was not proven
at the trial, and there was no mo-
tive shown for the murder. The ap-
plication for the pardon was signed
by several of the trial Jurors. Gov
ernor Chamberlain has received let
ters from Judge L. T. Harris, who
presided at the trial. and also from
the district attorney, who reviewed
the evidence, who also state that the
signatures of the jurors were OBJ
tanned by Misrepresentation. The
Judge and the district attorney say
the murder was a cold-blooded one,
and they recommend that the law be
allowed to take it's course.
On the first day of May of last year
the bonse of human skeleton were
found in burning pile of logs near
Glendale, Douglas county, and near
by was found belt belonging to the
murdered man. Barnes was found
to have the dead mans pistol, knife, |
nugget of gold and diamond ring. !
Other strong circumstantial evidence
was given at the trial.
Barnes had a bad record. He
served time in the penitentiary for !
larceny. After his release, he was
again sentenced to 20 years for a
assault on his half-sister,
girl of IL years of age. After serv-
Ing seven years of this time he was
by Governor Sylvester Pen
noyer. Governor Pennoyer was crit
cised for using executive clemency
n this case.
Unless something unforeseen arises
o prevent it, Barnes will be execut-
"a at the penitentiary next Tuesday
'etween noon and 1880 o'clock.
