Dowie Breathes Vengeance.

San Antonio, April 7.-Dowie, after
the train left Laredo, welcomed the
correspondents and denied entirely
the charges of his wife and son and
the overseers. and said he would
drive his son and wife from the city
Of God" He says he has been true
to every trust, and answerable only
to God.
He says the Charges are foul
mouthiiigs of migrate ours, and the
recevership, with the curtailing of my
commands, are illegal acts. In the
courts as well as with my right hand,
I will smite. Women may have
proved the downfall of prophets of
old, but they cast no spell on the
modern prophets.
"They say lost millions in Wall
street. It's lie. The lustful letters
purported to be written by me are
forgeries and their creators shall be
In prison, and the charges be publicly
refuted. Within a week Dowie will
again be Zion's leader and accepted
as holy man of God, not as a char
latan."

II the sheepmen of Umatilla county
are to cross the reservation with their
flocks this summer they will have to
secure the privilege from the Great
Father" at Washington. The Indians
themselves have positively declined
to permit sheep to cross, and conse-
quently congressional action is the
only remedy for this season. At the
request of the sheepmen Major Ed
wards recently presented the matter
before the Indians, but he declares
the opposition was so strong that a
vote was not taken.
1t is understood that Senator Full
ton has measure before congress
securing for the sheepmen the right
to cross the reservation. But little is
known about the matter by the local
sheepmen, though they are hopeful
OF getting relief in that way.
1t will be impossible to have the
three proposed public roads created
In time to be of use to the sheepmen
this year. Under the law the petitions
cannot be presented except at a reg
ular session of the county court, so
they must await the May term. Then
after they have been passed upon by
the county court the approval of the
agent and department must be Sc
cured before the roads become pub
lie highways. This would require so
much time, even II prompt action
were taken, that 1t would make 1t too
late for the sheepmen, as their bands
are taken to the mountains immedi-
ately after shearing.

WILL APPEAR
AGAINST BOOE
MAY CALL GRAND JURY FOR
THE MAY TERM AT HEPPNER,
Further Particulars Are Given OF the
Poisoning at Heppner Which j. H.
Bode is Accused of Perpetrating-
Several Persons Who Boarded With
Stepdaughter Of the Accused Man
Are Under Physicians Care.

District Attorney Phelps will 20 to
Heppner Monday for the purpose Of
appearing against j. H. Bode, the
German tailor, who is accused of hav-
ing tried to poison his wife, her
daughter and several boarders. 1t
is possible that grand jury will be
called for the May term of court in
Heppner. and in that case Bode may
be bound over to appear before that
body.
The following is a more complete
account of the poisoning incident:
The wife of the imprisoned tailor
recently entered suit for divorce, and
he swore vengeance against her and
against that bunch of bulls" thus
designating a number of young men
who are boarders at the home of Miss
Behrens, a daughter of Mrs. Bode.
While Mrs Bode and her daughters
were attending a theatrical PERFORM
ance on Wednesday evening 1t is al
legend, the vengeful tailor made 'forci-
BILE entry into the boarding house
operated by Miss Behrens, went to
the kitchen and introduced into the
official tea kettle and the family cof-
fee pot poisonous acids in quantities.
Oxalic acid is thought to have been
the drug used.
Discovery of the attempted poison
ing was made when T. r. Gaynor
drank coffee at the boarding house
table and was Immediately seized with
intense pain. Clarence Shultz ate
mush made with water from the pois-
oned tea kettle. Both are under the
the largest dose of the poison. Shultz
escaping more serious illness because
the mush doubtless absorbed much
of the drug and rendered harmless
the small quantity he ate.
Analysis of the remaining contents
of the cooking utensils revealed suf-
ficient oxalis acid to kill the inhabi-
tants of the entire towns according 10
DR.. Swinbourne's announcements
Bode was found to have Il bottle
containing oxalic acid in his posses
sion, and Sheriff Shut claims to have
gathered enough evidence to secure
the tailor's conviction without qucs-
ton.
Not content with his attempt to de-
stroy the entire household at the
boarding house, it is alleged Bode
ruined Miss Behrens' piano by pour
ing carbolic acid over the felts of the
keys and over the case. Many of the
keys were also broken and the instru-
ment otherwise damaged.
When arrested by Sheriff SHUT.
Bode asserted his innocence, and
claims that his arrest is a plot to in
jure him.
Bode has been resident OF Hepp-
ner for six or seven years. and has
been conducting tailor shop here.
He is German. After securing n di-
vorce from his former wife, he at once
advertised for another. and 1t vas by
this means that Mrs. Behrens came
from Kansas and married him.

nowhere, are easily chief These crea-
fore; never will again. They eagerly
embrace the only opportunity of their
lives to be nfamous-through misrep-
resentation of those who elected them.
Cheap varlets, base coistrels, they can
not even live in Multnomah hereafter,
because nobody will trust them.
Those who now applaud their course
and approve their treason and infamy
voted against them to the last man.
Multnomah will not be betrayed
again."
But Burke has lived in Multnomah,
lived here and long enough to be
openly charged in court by District
Attorney Francis ]. Heney, with hav-
ing been one of the men to offer a
bribe of $500 to Senator John H.
Mitchell to aid him in foisting upon
the people of the state Of Oregon a
fake irrigation scheme which to this
day stands as one of the shames OF
Oregon. Not alone was Burke guilty
of this, but the betrayer of Senator
Dolph on September 10, 1899, to-
gether with C. f. Joslyn and IS
others, was indicted for conspiracy in
Oregon land frauds.
This tool of Jonathan Bourne was
among the first OF the land fraud
thieves of the state. 1t is true that
the Indictment against Burke was
never pushed. Burke knows why and
so does John Hall. the United States
district attorney whom Heney had
thrown out of office. 1t is alleged, be.
cause of the countless crooked things
he winked at while in office. The
indictment against Burke was dis
missed October 20, 1900.
1t is alleged that Burke and Joslyr
sent IS entrymen to Oregon City and
had them file on timber lands on the
east halt of the southwest half and
lots and of section 10, township 6
west in Tillamook county. It is said
that Burke paid the men indicted
along with him their fare to Oregon
City and gave them $500 for making
