Had Many Friends Here.

Won Thursday. Feb. I, 1907,
suddenly, of pneumonia, James w.
Shaw, of BrOughty Ferry, Scot
land, in the 18th year of his age.
Funeral services will be held at
the Marble Collegiate Church, Goth
st. and 18th Av on Saturday. Feb.
8, 1907, at | p. NJ. Interment pri-
vate.
The above brief notice, taken from
the New York Times, is practically
all that is known here regarding the
death of Mr.. Shaw, who is so we'll
remembered by reason of frequent
visits TO his father-in-law, the late
James A. Close. Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw
had but recently returned from a
visit to Mr.. Shaw's former home in
Scotland. Deceased was a member
of the firm of Brown & Shaw, New
York, and was highly successful in
business. Few men have visited
Crescent City in recent years who so
captured the hearts of our
people and there will be general sor-
row in his death, as we'll as wide
spread sympathy for the bereaved
wife, who was in sense, daughter
Of Crescent City, this place being the
family home for many years.

A Day to Eat Oranges.

The Davenport (Iowa) Daily Dem
ocrat, of which excellent journal our
fellow (winterl townsman, B. F.
Tillinghast, is editor, in "A recent
issue and under the above caption,
contained the following editorial
paragraph, which voices the Florida
sentiment as well as any native
could say it-and will have double
the native force:
"Those Californians are great fell
lows. They are always loyal to their
state and they want everybody else
to feel the same way about it. No
matter about the forty-four other
states and the territories that are to
become states. What the Califor-
mans want is to establish the LIST of
every man, woman and child in the
United States-and the rest of the
world, if pOsSible-will eat one or
more oranges to assist California in
disposing of its great fruit crop.
Splendid scheme, but lacking in
scope. Those Florida fruit men
would rise up and call any such OBJ
Ssrvance sectional and discrimi-
mating. They would favor n day for
living on the golden globes, of course
they would, but they would insist
that great occasion be chosen,

LITTLE EVIDENCE
AGAINST BORAH
JUDGE MAY TAKE CASE FROM
JURY AND ORDER AC-
QUITTAL.

Boise, Idano, Oct. 2-Federal
Judge Whitson, presiding at the
trial of Senator Borah, will decide
this morning whether Or not the case
shall be taken from the jury, and a
verdict of acquittal ordered by the
court. At the conclusion of the gov
ernment's case yesterday the defend
ant entered a motion for acquittaI on
the grounds that no evidence tending
to connect Borah with the land fraud
conspiracy lad been adduced. The
action was argued at length. The
governments contention was that
there had certainly been tangible
evidence of a conspiracy on the part
of few persons at least, and in this
view Judge Whitson said he coin
cided the evidence against Boran was
circumstantial
Attorney RuSn, for the government,
admitted this, but contended that
the defendant acted in concert with
other alleged conspirators to the ex-
tent at least of receiving in his office
deeds resulting from fraud and hav-
ing these deeus recorded at his re-
quest. This act of the defendant
Rush asserted placed him in the
light of one who receives stolen
property, and required an explanation
Judge Whitson announced his deci-
sion as to the witness Chapman, gen
eraI manager of the Barber Lumber
company, who refused to produce
certain records on that ground that
they might tend to incriminate him.
There is tendency nowadays"
said Judge Whitson, Ito whip out con-
stitutional guarantees, but it is a
movement have no sympathy with
1t may ne that the constitutional pro-
vision is wrong and a criminal
should be compelled to testify against
himself, but SO long as the legislation
is what it is. I intend to uphold it.
The contention of the witness is sus-
tanned"
Chapman once before was upheld
by the federal courts in refusing to
produce the books.

ANOTHER OREGON
BOMB OUTRAGE
SHERIFF MADE A VICTIM OF RE-
VENICE FOR GIVING TESTI-
MONY.

Baker City, Ore, Oct. 2.-Sherif
Harvey K. Brown, who was late
Monday night made a victim of d
bomb outrage very similar to that
which killed former Governor Steu-
nenberg of Idaho, is dead No
trace of the criminal has been found.
Brown is the man who arrested
Steve Adams for his alleged crimes
in Idaho, and for the past six
months had been engaged in detec-
tive work for the state of Idaho. He
was a witness against Steve Adams
and expressed fear of taking the
stand, for it is alleged he said he
knew he never would escape alive if
he did Brown made a statement III
which he said that on his way home
Monday night, he met man a block
from his own home and spoke, but
the man made no response. The
bomb was made of dynamite and was
placed inside the gate. The bomb
wire run across the walk and to the
ton of the picket fence.
Brown died last night at the hos
pital as the result of the wounds he
received from the explosion of the
bomb
Shortly before noon yesterday
Brown recovered consciousness and
his ante-mortem statement was TAX,
en- by the district attorney in which
he says:
Il have no doubt that those who
attempted my life are persons con
nected with the Western Federation
of Miners and that was marked for
death on account of my connection
with the Steunenberg and Steve Ad-
ans cases.

SICK MAN CAUSES SENSATION.
DeIerious Patient Captured by Police
and Firemen,

Racine, Wis, Oct. John Hall,
aged 20 years, patient at st. Mary's
hospital, created a tremendous sensa-
ton yesterday. Hall was taken to
the hospital suffering from pneu-
monia. He became suddenly insane
and broke all of the furniture in his
room, smashed the windows and at
tempted to kill the sisters. He then
perched himself on the window sill,
tore off his clothing ana detied any
one to take him down.
The ire department was called and
ran ladder up to the window. Sew
eral tiremen climbed up to get him
and two policemen entered the door
and caught him while the hremen
were engaging his attention from the
outside. Hall fought like a demon,
but was overpowered.
Probably 500 people gathered to
witness the excitement. 1t is believed
Hall will die as the result of expos
ure.

MAIL ORDER
MEN FIGHT

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 2.-Sever-
al Minneapolis and Chicago firms en-
gagged in the mail order business OF
sash, doors and blinds, expect to
fasten upon Minneapolis lumbermen
the blame for publishing and distrib-
uting the little black book" They
hope to show the connection of these
men with the Iumberman's associa-
ton. The investigation was begun
before the federal grand jury in Min
neapolis yesterday
These firms contend that the dis
tribution of the little black book
was part of d scheme and conspiracy
to defraud, by the use of the mails
The fraud, they say, consisted in the
Instructions in the book, that the
recipients carry on correspondence
with certain firms, causing annoy,
ance and cost, But transacting no bus
mess with them.
Twenty witnesses from Minnesota
North and South Dakota and Iowa
have been subpoenaed to appear be
fore the grand jury during this ses.
sion. Many Of these witnesses, it Is
said are men in the lumber business
or persons who have received copies
of the booklets, with a list. OF firms &c
be ''badgered."

REFUSES TO GIVE
DESIRED FACTS
IMPORTANT WITNESS TAKES HIS
CONSTITUTIONAL PRIVILEGE
AND KEEPS STILL.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. Yesterday s
testimony in the Borah trial had to
do largely with the actions OF
former Governor SteunenbeIg in land
dealings. Attorney Hawley protested
against witnesses being allowed to
give conversations with Steunenberg.
He said they had no bearings on
Borah's case, and tended only TO
blacken the memory of a man who
cannot answer. The liVeliest incident
of the day was when l.. G. Chapman,
general manager of the Barber Lum-
Der company was called as a gov
eminent witness. Chapman brought
many books and much correspondence
which the government desired but
refused point blank to produce the
company's account books, showing the
amounts paid for timber lands and
to whom. de declared the informa-
tiOn contained in the books could not
assist the Jury in the matter on trial,
but might tend to incriminate Chap
man as an officer and stakeholder in
the company.
The matter of requiring Chapman to
produce the books was laid over for
argument today. Chapman has his
own counsel and Borah's lawyers
took no part in the matter.

The crime was most brutal. MISCHIEF

ened to kill her and when she begged
piteously for Ter life on account of
her chllo, he said, so 1t is alleged, ne
would kill IAe child with her. 1t Is
alleged that 40 then seized the terri
fed woman and strangled her with a
rope, relenting only when she at
tempted to hand him over some
money. He then, it is alleged, told
her she must give him all or he
would tear out her tongue, kill her
and the babe, and then burn the
house, But before he could carry out
his alleged threat he was frightened
away. Mischief was captured in Wa
tertoWn, Me.
