DIR. THOMPSON IS DEAD
Prominent Oregon Minister Passes
Away at Home Of His Daughter
In Albany.

DR.. e. J. Thompson, the veteran
Presbyterian minister, died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. William
Fortmiller, in Albany, Wednesday
morning, after a brief illness oi
pneumonia. The news Of his death
was sad surprise to the people OF
Polk county, by whom he was held in
the highest esteem.
DR.. Thompson was 73 years old,
having been born October z, 1884, in
Middlebury, Vermont. He was
educated in New England and in the
Normal school at Albany, New York.
He was married December 30, 1857, to
Miss Ella Armstrong, and Of the
union eight children were born, five of
whom are now living. They are Mrs.
William Fortmiller, Albany, Or. ;
George Thompson, Boston, Mass.
Mrs. Elmer Samuels, Raymond,
Wash. Mrs. Chester Roake, Chico,
Cal. and Anson W. Thompson, Los
Angeles, Cal.
Throughout his long life, Dr..
Thompson was prominently identified
with educational and ministerial
work. For nearly 90 years he was
head instructor in mathematics and
astronomy in the University of Mime
sofa, and for a number of terms
was elected to the school superintend-
ency of Hennepin county, Minnesota,
In 1881 he moved with his family
to Casselton, N. D., where he occu-
pied the pulpit of the Presbyterian
church until 1884, when he came west
to Salem, Oregon, to assume the
pastorate Of the Presbyterian church
there.
After a few years residence in Salem,
he moved with his family to Albany
and assumed the presidency OF
Albany College, during 1886 and 1887.

signed the Presidency of the college
to take full charge of the Corvallis
church, where he remained until the
year 1901. The deceased had charge
of the church at Independence, Ore
gon, for five years, going to Albany a
few months ago to reside with his
daughter, Mrs. William Fortmiller
and at the same time supplying the
pulpits Of the Presbyterian churches

Wins Two More Games.

The Salem Y. NJ. G. A. basketball
team was defeated by Dallas College
in a loosely played game, Friday eve
ming, by.a score Of &c to 10. The local
team seemed to play only hard enough
to win. The only special feature of
the contest, perhaps, was the basket
throwing of Steinbach.
The game at Monmouth, however,
was different. A crowd of about 100
people went to the Normal town by
special motor and saw more rough
play than usually happens in a foot
ball game. Every move was a foul,
and Referee Gates, of Hillsboro, had
his hands full in calling them. The
final score was 80 to 0 in favor OF
Dallas.

Senator Loughary having been
lined up with the losing side in the
organization of the Senate, got little

dustries, and public roads committees.

The members Of the Oregon Legis-
lature were faithful to their trust
when they elected Jonathan Bourne
and Frederick W. Mulkey to the
United States Senate. The direct pri-
mary law has been observed, both in
letter and in spirit, and now, that it
has been given a fair trial it itremains
for the people to decide whether they
are satisfied with its workings or
whether they desire to return to the
old-time convention plan Of nomi-
mating their public officers. Already
an effort is being made in the Legis-
lature to repeal or set aside this law,
but in making this effort the members
are tampering with fire. The people
created the direct primary law, and
the people will insist upon the right
Of saying whether it shall remain on
the statute books. The question is not
for the Legislature to decide.

Trial of Interesting Murder
Case in North Carolina
The Youth who Confessed
to Killing Confederate We
teran Convicted.

Troy special in the Charlotte
Observer: The most important
case docketed tor this term of
Montgomery court, over which
Judge Moore presides, was tn 1t
OF Charles Smith, CHARGED w,,h
killing Milton Bunnell for his
money on the night of January 10
The case was opened yesterday,
concluded today and given to the
jury at Il O'Clock this morning.
After three hours deliberalion
a verdict of guilty of felonious
murder in the second degree was
returned. The youth received
a sentence of thirty years at hard
labor.
Mr.. Page, the leading witness
for the State, was permitted to
tell In detail the confession of
the young prisoner, Chas. Smith.
He said he and his father, Make
Smith, arranged for the deadly
assault upon the person of Bun.
nell. He pursued the deceased
after night and at the imperative
demand of his father, Make Smith
crept up behind Bunnell and
felled him to the ground with an
axe, which they had carried for
the purpose.
The defense introduced sever
al witnesses on minor facts, but
the Interest was intense whan
Chas. Smith, the defendant. was
put on the stand in his own be.
half.
Charles made an effort to feign
craziness, but with poor degree
OF success He is of low order
oil intelligence, but not 20 much
that he should not be held re-.
sponsible for his acts. Milton
Bunnell, the deceased was a.
brave Confederate soldier. He
served as a Justice of the peace
ana several times was elected
township constable. Charles
Smiths defense did not corre-
spond with his former confess
sion in every pa ticular On
trial he denies that his faith
er, Make Smith, had anything
to do with the killing. The grand
jury returned true bill against
Make Smith. He will not likely
be put on trial before the Sep
tember term of Montgomery Su
perior Court. The defendant is
a boy who looks to be about II
years old.
His father, Make Smith, impli
Gated in the murder and robbery
by the confession of his son.
Charles, as brought out by the
witness Page, is man of 35 wears
possibly. While he has a sad
face he does no look like
criminal. Many believe that he
has been implicated falsely by
his son.
