DENIES GUILT
ON DEATH BED
DORA JENNINGS, ACCUSED OF
FATHERS MURDER, PASSES
AWAY AT GRANTS PASS.

GRANTS PASS, Ore, Aug. 15.-Dora
Jennings. twice tried for and finally
acquitted of the murder of her father,
Norman Jennings at Granite Hill min
ing camp, September Z, 1905, died at
her home in this city yesterday. Be
fore her death Miss Jennings made
secret statement to the attending ply
sician, Dr. Love, which has beer
placed in the hands of the district at
tOrney.
Very little can be learned of the con-
tents of the document placed in the
hands of the physician, but it is stated
tnat to the last Dora declared that
neither she Tor her brother Jasper,
convicted of numbering their father,
had anything to do with the crime.
Will Prosecute Jasper.
The district attorney refused to dis
cuss the case this morning farther
than to state that the charges against
Jasper wif be fought through the su-
preme court to which he has appealed
from MS .cOnNlclloL III Tic III SoiI
court.
Norman Jennings, the murdered
man, was found dead III his bed Sep
tember Z. 1905, in his cabin at Granite
Hill mining camp. The body was dis
covered in the same room in which
Dora Jennings and her sister were
sleeping and suspicion was directed
against the girl and her brother Jas
per.
Dora was acquitted on her secord
trial some IS months ago. 1t was one
of the most hotly contested cases ever
tried in the Josephine county court.
1t was the belief of every one who
was at all acquainted with the case
that she would be found guilty. The
fact that she and her smaller sister
occupied the same room and with their
bed but two feet from the bed occu-
pied by the father in the little room Of
the log cabin at Granite Hill mining
camp in which he was murdered,
seemed a certain Indication that the
girl must at least have been an ac-
complice in the crime. But she told
one story and could not be shaken
from it. Sae declared she heard no
sound during the night and that she
knew nothing of the crime till next
morning, when she awoke and discov-
cred her father dead in bed.
Cir! Was Self Possessed.
During her trial Dora displayed re-
markable calmness and Self-pOsses-
sion. The cutting sarcasm and sting
ing invective of the prosecuting at
torney brought only a pretty smile
from her. She sat through the cross
examination unmoved, and the jury
could do naught else than acquit her.

BUSY DAYS
At FAIR GROUNDS
SPEEDY HORSES, ENTERED ON
NORTHWEST CIRCUIT, MAX
ING FAST RECORDS.

Some excellent showings are being
made by horses working out at the
fair grounds and the hopes of a num-
ber of the owners and trainers are
soaring to dizzy heighths and their
slumbers are broken with dazzling
dreams of big purses lots of 'em, carts
full of em.
There are some green horses step
ping around the track which the
owners are willing to swear by, two
of which are owned by Frank j. Fraz
ier of PendletOn, who considers the
animals too good to race in the wild
and woolly west. He refuses to enter
them this year. but is intending "
send them out on the grand circuit
way down east next year just 10 show
those effete fasteners and haugn5y
Kentucky colonels what a western.
horse can do when it really tries.
The two animals from which so
much is expected are Leola and Grace
B. both sired by Westfield. They have
both worked out in 2:15.
On the whole. the horses at the
track appear to be capable of better
time than is accredited to them. The
best time made so far in the workouts
is accredited to Bonnie NJ. PAGER,
owned by L. c. Shell. In the last three
or four heats, Bonnie M. was timed
at 2:141-2, 2:14, and 2:13, respective
ly.
Shell also has another good one,
Lady Washington which trotted 2:19
in a third heat, going the first heat in
2:30 and the second in 2:24. The per-
formance of these horses may be con-
sidered something out of the ordinary
in view of the fact that month ago
they were both so far under the
weather with distemper that Shell had
practically given up hope of getting
them into shape for the races, though
they had been entered in all of the
slow stakes, amounting in all to $1,000
Throughout the month of June it
looked bad for these horses. as they
were not in condition to work out dur
ing the entire month.
Dr. A. F. Morrison, vertinary sur
geon of Freewater, has three 2-year-
oldS from which he expects much.
one of which is Prince Frisco owned

Contractors Decide to Put Roof On
New City Hall.

Work was resumed on the city hall
yesterday though no arrangement has
been made by the city with any bond

of the bonds in the sum required to
build the hall.
1t is the object to get the building
under cover before the winter rains
set in. Should the funds not be forth

HOME COMING"
At BURLINGTON
WAlLA WALLANS RECEIVE lNVi-
TATIONS TO VISIT OLD FOLK
AT HOME.

Many of the cities throughout the
eastern and middle western states are
celebrating ''home coming weeks this
year instead of having street carnivals,
and efforts are being made to have old
time residents who have settled in the
west return to their former homes at
about the same time in order to renew
old acquaintances and friendships,
thus making a visit home thoroughly
enjoyable.
Many of the cities of Iowa are fol-
lowing this idea. Citizens of Walla
Walla are receiving invitations to
come home" and see the folk. The
following invitation has been received
by a number of former residents of
Burlington, Iowa.
From the morning of Sept. 9th un-
til the night of Sept. IA. Burlington is
going to devote itself to entertaining
old time Burlingtonians who have
wandered away into other places. We
want you aid all your family to come
back and visit us that week. You will
meet all the old boys and girls you
used to know, and see the new ones
that have taken your places. 1t will be
a reunion that will do you good and
make you feel better. We are going
to give you week of enjoyment that
you wont forget soon, and every day
will be a busy one. We want you to
see how the old town. has grown and
prospered. 1t makes no difference
how long you have been away there
are scores of old timers still living who
would like to see you. We really want
you to come back and see us, and see
how We are getting along
yours truly,
THE COMMITTEE,
''FT. l.. Unterkircher, Chairman"
Il would like to make a visit to my
old home all right said a WalIa
Wallan today, but the name signed
to that invitation would almost make
a fellow feel 'spookie Now it has
been about IS years since / lived ir.
but as near as | can remern-
Der F. L. Unterkircher is the under
taker. Those Burlingtonians will find
out that these western Hawkeyes are
not dead ones by considerable, but I
guess Mr.. Unterkircher could under-s
take to LAY OUT lively ones Just the
same and show them good time.
However, / hope he will not feel called
upon to meet me with his wagon when
go back. 1 would rather take the
street car and go out on South Hill"
