SAN FRANCISCO. March Mayor
schmitz appeared before Judge Dunno
today and pleaded not guilty to four
indictments charging extor,ion. BY
agreement Of his counsel next Mon
day was designated ms the time when
the date for trial will be set. Success
every turn In today's developments In
tho Rucf extortion case. The most
notable Instance Was In the district

further proceedings against Ruef pend
Ing the determination OF the accused
mans appeal 10 the Supreme Court
for a permanent writ OF error, the cf
feet OF which. II granted. would be
summarily to postpone the entire pros
ocution. while the attorneys for Ruef
who is still In hiding. supposedly in or
near San Francisco were hopefully
awaiting the decision of the appeal
court. Judge Dunno proceeded vita
the two cases OF perjury and conspir-
acy against Ruef and Chief Of Police
Dlnnn. He was obdurate 10 the en-
deavors Of attorney Shortridge to win
a delay for Ruef Motions to strike
the case from the files and set aside
the indictments were denied and to
escape the imminent necessity Of
pleading nj once Ruers counsel enter
ed demurrer which had been pre-
vIously prepared to meet this emer-
gency should II occur.
Arguments on this were set aside for
tomorrow morning.
Coroner Walsh, delegated In sheriff
O'Ncil's stead to apprehend Ruef. re-
ported his failure to do SO and was
given until tomorrow morning to make
good. Failing then. Judge Dunno will
probably appoint another eliser tol
bring the fugitive into court.
Shortly before o'clock this even
ing counsel for Ruef made application
10 the state supreme court for identi-
cally the same writ Of prohibition re
fused earlier In the day by the dis
Strict court Of appeals. Pending thel
determination OF this move, II Is thel
purpose Of Judge Dunno to so right
ahead with the case.
And 1t Is the intention of the counsel
for the defense not to roduce Ruef mi
Dunne's court while the matter thus
stands.
Samuel M. Shortridge said that tneI
proceedings before Judge Dunno were
null and void. He claimed that when
the clerk of the circuit court of ap-
peals, as representative of the United
States supreme court allowed the filing
of the appeal that act OF itself BECAME
n complete bar to the trial OF Ruef In
the lower court during the tendency OF
the appeal.

be a business room 30x60 and over it
a lodge room to be occupied and own
ed by one of the local societies. The
building will have heat, water and
light and will be modern throughout.
Mr.. Allen has been here from st.

Don't come. Don't sing. Don't

Come to church, not to worship,
but to find fault. Don't encourage

Be careful not to give hymn book

COMMITS SUICIDE.


E from LlHucuS DuH6bIH.
Last Saturday morning the sad ip
telligence was flashed over Linn ooun
ty that DR.. j. w. Mason, one 0
Brookfeld's best known physicians
had ended his life by means of a re
volver from which he fired a bulle
into his brain. The particulars Of
the tragedy, as given us from several
authorities, are as follows:
On Friday evening DR.. Mason was
called to the home of Giles McCollum,
s miles north of Brookfield, to offici-
ate in case of confinement. He pre-.
vailed upon DR.. 7. P. Oven to accom-
pany him and the two physicians ar
rived at the McCollum home some
time in the night. It was about 1:30
a. m. of the next morning when, after
the two doctors had held consulta-
ton with reference to their patient,
DIR. Mason excused himself from the
room, stating that he would walk out
in the yard and take a smoke, and
telling DR.. Oven that in case he was
needed he (Dr. Oven) would know
where to find him. A few minutes
later something like the report of a
pistol was heard, but little notice was
given the matter until attention was
called to DIR. Mason's continued ab-
sence. Finally some one pulled aside
the window curtains and, looking out
into the yard, discovered the doctors
body lying on the ground. Further
investigation revealed the fact that
DIR. Mason had shot himself in the
head with revolver, the weapon be-
ing found by his side. The fatally
injured man was removed to the house
and lived for about one hour, but
never regained consciousness. The
immediate cause of his rash act is
mystery. Funeral services were con-
Quoted in the presence of large as
semblage of the former friends of the
deceased at Brookfield last Monday
afternoon by Rev. Kimbrell, of the
M. E. church, South.
DIR. J. w. Mason was born in How
ard county, Mo-, July 1st, 1866. In
1898, having graduated from the Mis-
souri, Medical College, Of St. Louis,
he located in Brookfeld and soon
built up an extensive practice. Be-
sides being successful practitioner,
he had pleasing social qualities and
became quite, popular with the masses.
In 1902 he was nominated on the re-
publican ticket for county coroner
and was elected by 142 votes, being |
the only successful candidate on his
ticket excepting the candidate for
Judge of the eastern district. In
Brookfeld, his home town, he was ac-
corded the largest vote, perhaps, ever
given a county candidate. He refus-
ed to be candidate for denomination,
to give his whole attention
to his large practice. DR.. Mason had
been four times married. His first
wife, the mother of his only child,
Miss Winifred Mason, aged about Is,
lied a few years after her marriage.
From his second and third wives he
became divorced. His fourth wife,
Who was Miss Belle Ware, of this
county, survives him.
DR.. Mason, like most men whose
ives end in tragedy, had his failings,
,ut he wore them upon the outside.
And upon them a just and generous
,ublic should now draw the mantle
f charity while they cherish the mem
ry of his virtues.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Offered by IA Progressive CIT zen
of Hcppner.

EDITOR GAZETTE
Say, do you know that people
are coming into the northwest by
hundreds and by thousands in
search of homes. That they are
on the lookout for location for
profitable Investment and at the
same time comfortable and de
sireable locations in which to build
for themselves attractive places of
permanent residence, where they
may soon be surrounded with ali
the advantages of refined, ener-
gAtic and prosperous civilization.
TIE time is at hand for every
wide-awake, public spirited, citizen
of Morrow county and OF Heppner,
in particular, to open his eyes to
the real condition that confront is
him, to wash his hands and face,
eat hearty breakfast, then roll
up his sleeves and 60 to work in
earnest, without gloves, to prepare
the way for the reception of a
goodly share of these home-seekers.
Visitors will judge a country
and town by what it produces,
by facts. Every statement sent
out should therefore be subject to
ocular demonstration of its actual
truth. And further, every effort
should be made to place these facts
before the public in carefully pre-
pared papers and documents to
turn the attention of incoming set
tiers in this direction, When they
arrive they should be greeted by
the evidence Of prosperity in we'll
kept and we'll titled farms, with
neatly kept farm buildings, good
farming utensils, we'll fed stock
and a progressive, intelligent,
thoroughly industrious people.
The towns to attract people
must be attractive. Those who
are looking for town in which to
invest their means, if they are
themselves desirable class of cit
izens, will usually invest and settle
down where there is push and it's
consequent prosperity. Because
Of this the people Of Heppner
should, in addition to what has al
ready been done in the way of |
up, carry forward the
good work until every street and
alley is rid of its accumulation of
rubbish, until the sidewalks are
put in good repair and every un-
slightly, tumble-down old building
s either demolished or so repaired
and renovated as not to be an
sye sore to the beholder. In ad-
lition to his'yard fences demand
thorough overhauling, straight
'ning up and repainting. While
he women-folks are house clean.
ng on the inside, the men folks
'ught to get busy at thorough
curse of house-cleaning on the
utside, by tydying up the lawns,
epaintipg the houses, replacing
roken window panes and other
