personal fri, 9,TC he Estes family.
He had beei 2H with jurors
subpoena by . 4aylor father Of
Sheriff Taylor and at that time and
since had talked of the McManus
case frequently. He admitted hav-
ing an opinion already formed re-
gardinG the case and was challenged
for cause by Colonel Raley.
'Do you think you could lay aside
all that you have read or heard re-
garding this case and try II solely
upon the evidence from the stand
Under the law?" inquired Judge Bean
of the juror.
II don't know" answered Harris.
He was then examined briefly by
District Attorney Phelps and as he
was found to be opposed to the death
penalty no resistance to the challenge
was made by the state.
Hutchinson Was Chosen.
S. p. Hutchinson, the veteran
farmer from Mckay precinct, was
then called. He had talked but lit
tic of the case and his only recent
visit to a Pendleton saloon had been
when as a juror he visited the Idle
Hour during the Rowley case. He
showed himself well qualified to
serve as Juror and declared that If
he knew his own mind he would be
able to try the case entirely upon
the facts brought out in the evidence.
IF at the conclusion of this trial
you found that you could reasonably
acquit the defendant, or you could
reasonably return a verdict of gull
ty, which would you consider 1t your
duty to do?" asked Colonel Raley.
This question was at once objected
to by Judge White, who said it was
unfair to both the Juror and the
state. The objection was sustained.
Mr.. Hutchinson was then accepted
by the defense and also by the state
after little further questioning.
Shaw Had an Opinion.
S. G. Shaw, the Wild Horse farmer,
next called, had read all of the East
Oregonian accounts of the case and
had also talked with people regard
ing 1t on numerous occasions. He
had been in the Pullman saloon and
had the scene of the tragedy pointed
out to him. He admitted having con-
siderable of an opinion already form
ed anc was challenged for cause by
the defense. The state resisted and
the court sustained the objection to
the challenge. wherupon a per-
emptory challenge was used by the
defense.
Additional Venire Ordered.
AS Shaw was the last of the avail
able jurors present, a recess was
then taken and the sheriff ordered to
summon an additional venire of 25,
selecting the men from those in the
regular panel.
Would Follow Higher Code.
Following the adjournment this
forenoon 1t was found that T. ].
Conrad. q Juror OF the regular panel
but not summoned for this case. was
present in the room. Accordingly he
was called to the stand and after
some questioning was accepted by
zskth defense. However, while being
examired by the district attorney he
declared that should he become a
juror in the case he would go accord
inc to t'c higher law" rather than
th1t tho court might hand out to
him. He was therefore excused for
cause.

BODY IN THE COLUMBIA.
Wallula School Boy Found Floating
In the Stream.

Walla Walla, April 19.-Coroner
McMartin made flying trip to WAL
lula last evening and returned to this
city at 1890 with the body of an un-
known man found floating in the Co.
lumbia river near the ranch of John
T. Groswold.
Yesterday morning before going to
school the young 14-year1old son of
Mr.. Griswold went to the river to take
a sail in his boat and discovered what
he believed to be a man floating in
the water. The lad called his father,
who secured the body and anchored
1t to a large rock by tieing a rope
around one foot
When the coroner reached the scene
the body was still in the water, and it
was thought not necessary to hold an
inquest as the cause of death was ap-
parent. There are no marks of VOL
ence of any kind and from the condi-
ton of the body it is believed by Mr..
McMartin to have been in the water
about three weeks.

Charleston, s. c., April 19.--An
earthquake shock was distinctly felt
here early today, very perceptible
wave motion from east to west being
noted. No damage of any extent re-
suited, but grave fears are raised
that there may be succeeding and
greater shocks and fear of a tidal
wave following is also general.
The shock was mostly distinctly
felt at Somerville, health resort 20
miles from here, which seemed to he
the center Of the seismic agitation.

At meeting of the school board
held last evening the entire corps Of
teachers now engaged in the city's
schools was reelected with increas-
ed salaries. That of Prof. Landers,
city superintendent, was increased
from $1,000 to $500 per year. while
a general advance was also made in
the teachers under him. The pay of
the grade teachers was increased SIS
per month.
The action of the board in retain
ing the entire present force is
strong compliment to the teachers
and shows the appreciation in which
they are held by the members of the
board and the city superintendent
According to Lee Teutsch, president
of the board. all the teachers have
been reelected in good faith and the
board desires each teacher to con-
tinue in his or her work.
The meeting last night was held in
the office of H. E. Bickers, school
clerk, and was attended by the five
members of the board and Superin-
tendent Landers. The retention Of
the present force of teachers was in
accord with the ideas of Prof. Ian
ders. The professor left the meet
ing before the adjournment was TAX
en- and it was after his departure that
the board voted the 5000 advance in
his salary, which action was taken
voluntarily by the board and without
the knowledge of the superintend-
ent.
This afternoon Prof. Landers stated
that he would continue his services
as superintendent at the increased
salary offered and also expressed
subtraction over the retention of the
other teachers. With but few ex-
ceptions all Of the teachers will ac-
cept another term. Several of the
present force are understood to be
contemplating matrimony, and from
them designations are expected.
Those who will be unable to teach
next year for that or other reasons
are requested to SO inform the board
Immediately.

We have many curious examples OF
that kind In this country. One of the
most remarkable evidences of insatia
