D. R. & n. CANCELS
THE TRAIN DEFICIT
DISTRICT FAIR RELIEVED
OF PAYING ABOUT 5000.
Patronage of the Special Train From
Heppner on Morrow County Day
Lacked 5000 of Paying Amount
Guaranteed for the Train-Fair
Commission Expected to Pay the
Amount, But the o. II. * n. Can
celled the Deficit

Through the lack of interest in the
district fair in Morrow county, there
was a deficit Of about 5000 on the
special train guaranteed by the fair
commission, from Heppner to this city
over the o. r. & n. on Wednesday,
Morrow county day.
This morning Agent F. j. Quinlan,
Of the o. r. & N, received instruc-
tions from William McMurray, gener-
al passenger agent of the o. R. & N,
to cancel the deficit, thus relieving
the fair commission from paying
about $500 which Morrow county fail
ed to make up in fares on the special
train.
The cancellation of the deficit by
the o. R. & N. was wholly voluntary
as the fair commission made an Of
ficial request for the special train,
which was granted on the condition
that $312 be guaranteed, and It was
expected by the commission that the
deficit would be paid out of the funds
of the fair association, as there was
no ground on which to ask for a can
collation. of the amount by the rail-
road company. since the company had
fulfilled its part OF the agreement
most satisfactorily.
The fair commission expresses much
over the commendable ac-
tion OF the o. R. & N. company,
which has done everything in its pow
ed to make the fair success.

San Francisco, Sept. 2s.-Fremont
Older, editor of the Bulletin, and
leader of the anti-graft forces, who
was lmidnaped last night by alleged
friends of the grafters, was located
six hours later, a prisoner on a Los
Angeles train.
He was knidnaped in broad day
light in the busiest part of Van Ness
avenue.
Fremont Older, as managing editor
of the Bulletin, is an earnest friend
of the prosecution of the grafters. He
was lost for seven hours yesterday,
under Burns and the police depart
ment df San Francisco searched for
him.
Older was located on beard a south
bound Los Angeles train, a prisoner
in the stateroom of a sleeper.
An urgent telephone message, the
service of a Los Angeles warrant au-
thcrized late Friday night by Judge
Carroll, clerk of the superior court,
Redwood City, and then close cap
tiyity In the stateroom of the sleeper,
is in brief the manner in which the
kidnapping was carried out
At 5;15 Friday evening. while In
District Attorney Langdons office,
Older received a telephone message
calling him to the Savoy hotel, on
Van Ness avenue.
Older left word to Rudolph Spreck-
ole tbat ha upnI1 rat,tr,, op1
went in answer walking to the hotel.
This side of the hotel, where Patrick
Calhoun's detective headquarters are
located, Luther Brown, connected with
the defense of Ford, and Calhoun,
with a constable, jumped out of the
doorway and flashed two Los Angeles
warrants charging Older with GRIM
inai libel against Brown.
AT Redwood Older tried to tele-
graph his wife and the prosecution,
but was dragged away from the tele-
graph office and pushed into the
train.
Inside the stateroom the porter and
Ashe, the San Francisco attorney,
were waiting for Older. Making every
effort to keep the captive from being
seen, he was taken TO the stateroom,
while deputy guarded the entrance.
Two OF Older's friends on the train
made an effort to see him, but were
repulsed.
Meanwhile his absence was noted
in the city. and Chief of Police Biggy
and Detective Burns started an inves-
tigation. AZ midnight Older was To-
Gated, and Spreckels communicated
with a legal firm at Santa Barbara to
secure his release on a writ of habeas
corpus the moment the train came
within the city limits, which was
done.
The article upon which Brown
based his suit was in connection with
charges made against Brown in the
Bulletin in relation to the alleged at
tempt to kidnap ex-Supervisor Loner-
gan. Brown Is said to be associated
with Attorney Earl Rogers, who is
defending Ford, in Rogers Los An
geles office.

s7EUNENBERG IN CROOKED LAND DEALS

Boise, Sept. 2S.-That United States
Senator Addison Foster of Washing
ton was asked to intercede in behalf
of Frank Steunenberg, was the startl-
ing testimony of A. B. Campbell of
Spokane, this morning in the Borah
trial.
Campbell said Steunenberg wanted
Foster to call off the government in
spector, L. L. Sharp, from timber in
vestigation in Boise. He read letters
from Steunenberg showing that the
late governor feared the investiga-
ton of the inspectors into his timber
deals.
He later felt more confident and
wrote to Campbell: Now that we

In the Horseman case this after
noon three witnesses were called in
rapid succession by the state to tell
of the incidents of the killing. At
the convening of court at 1890 j. W.
Ray was called, and following him
billiard French took the stand. John
Brosman, another eye witness, and
who says Horseman's gun was point
ed in his direction at one time, was
the third.
All of the gentlemen named were
closely cross questioned by Judge Fee
when the state had finished with the
direct examination.
This forenoon three witnesses were
| called to the stand by the state and
their testimony together with the
lengthy cross-examinations consumed
the entire forenoon.
James Doherty, C. r. Cate and
Williom Cartwright were the three
men upon the stand. On the day of
the shooting Cartwright, Hall, Hicks
and Clarence McBroom, the dead man,
had gone to the estockmen's meeting
| in the Potts school house, together.
McBroom and Hbrseman the witness
was outside the school house and an
| eyewitness to the affair. However,
at the time Hors -lgn fired the shot
at McBroom he, Cartwright, was
walking away and so did not see the
exact movements of TIC two men. In
its essential particulars the story told
by Cartwright was similar to that of
Hicks and other witnesses called for
the defense.
The Line of Defense.
On cross-examination of Cartwright
the defense took move that indi-
Gates much concerning their line of
action. Judge Fee was the examiner
and he asked Cartwright concerning
remark of his alleged to have been
made by the witness while he was in
the Palace hotel at Heppner in Feb
ruary. 1t was the occasion of a range
meeting in Heppner and Cartwright
was asked if he had not made a state
ment to the effect that If some range
was not secured by certain parties
''the fault would lie with Horseman,
and that Horseman would never see
the Potts again."
In answer to the query of the de-
fendant's attorney Cartwright declar-
ed he did not remember making such
statement. However he did not deny
having made it,
