The annual report of Manager

A dividend of 25 per cent was de-

GUILTY AS CHARGED
SAYS THE JURY
OF HALL
(By Associatad P-ess. }


Portland, Ore, Feb. 8.-Former
United States District Attorney John
II. Hall, indicted for conspiracy with
the Butte Creek Land, Live Stock &
Lumber Company to maintain illegal
fences which enclosed 10000 acres
of public lands, was today found gull

The So.euircd ut 1880 last

hours and 10 minutes later. A sealed
verdict was returned at 1880 this
morning.
The offense is punishable by fine
not exceeding $4,000 or by impris-
onment not exceeding two years.
Judge Webster. chief counsel for
Hall, has been given 60 days in
which to file notice of an appeal. and
has been granted until May 1 to pre-
pare a bill of exceptions.
Francis ]. Heney, who conducted
the prosecution, is well satisfied. The
prosecution admits that had 1t con-
fined the evidence to Halls connec-
tion with the Butte Creek company
they could not have convicted Hall.
1t was only by bringing in outside
cases which tended to prove that
Hall had been ready to protect his
political friends involved in the land
deals that the government secured
the conviction.
Hall, too, shares in this opinion.
and declares. in a statement to the
press, that there was no evidence
against him of the conspiracy
charged in the Indictment.
Twelve individuals were indicted
in connection with this conspiracy.
of which Hall is the only one who
has been tried.

Lisbon, Feb. S.-The funeral SER
vices over the bodies of King Carlos
and his son. Luis. crown prince of
Portugal, who were shot to death a
week ago today, were held in the
church of San Vincente early this af-
ternoon. The ceremonies were sim
pie but impressive, and the final act
in the bloody tragedy of February l
was carried to close without unto
ward incident.
The line of the funeral procession
from the y Jyal chapel in the palace
to the ct ch was guarded by troops
All the governments of Europe
and America were represented by
special missions
The streets were thronged with
people. They poured in from the
country, from towns of the provinces
and from the nearby cities, some by
carriage or cart and many on foot.
In the crowd were large numbers
of simple peasants and tradesmen
from the provinces who knew or
cared nothing for political strife, but
who wished only to mourn for their
dead leaders.
The route of march between the
palace and the church was densely
lined with people. One point. how
ever. was carefully avoided by the
superstitious Portuguese. This was
the spot on the Prada de Commerce
where the cold-blooded murders
were committed last Saturday. Had
1t not been for the presence of cav
airy picket this part of the prada
would have been absolutely desert
ed.
All the business houses of Lisbon
were closed today and crepe flut-
tered from the arms of thousands.

A total of about 80 car loads of
fruit were shipped out. Nineteen
cars of hay and 10 cars of box
shocks were received and sold by the
association
In closing his statement, Manager
Scroggins says:
From the general expression of
the growers 1t looks as II next sea-
son there will be the largest amount
of fruit ever shipped from Palisade.
Two years ago our capacity was taxed
to the utmost. We think it will be
necessary to increase our buildings
and platform. besides other build
ings now under contemplation. which
will necessitate the expense of a
good many dollars.
"It seems to us the small stock
holder should take hold of this stock
as the secretary's books show a great
many of the growers holding only
one or two shares. We mention this
for your consideration. We have on
ly issued now about one-fourth of

The marriage was solemnized al
Cheyenne. Wyo.. yesterday morning
and the dispatches say that the cou-
pie seem to be as happy as pair OF
cooling doves. The negro wired some
of his friends in Denver telling OF
his marriage.
Miss Oberdorfer's many friends in
Glenwood Springs and In Denver are
greatly shocked. They were well
aware that for a long time she has
been following the teachings of the
negro fakir. but they never believed
she would become the wife of the
negro. Miss Oberdorfer was forced
to give up her school work at Glen
wood owing to her adoption OF
| Lucas's doctrines of free love" and
"limitless life." great sensation was
caused by her becoming a disciple OF
prof" Lucas.
1t will be remembered that when
Senator Tillman lectured in Denver
last fall 1t was Miss Oberdorfer and
Prof" Lucas who created much ex-
citement by interrupting the South
erner and challenging some of his
statements.
dispatch from Denver today says
in part:
Lucas has been run out of several
cities by the authorities ON account
of his free love teachings. He took
up his residence some months ago at
All Corona street, this city, and sue
ceeded in interesting a number of
prominent women In his teachings.
Neighbors began to object to his In
stitution, and the yellow papers,
which had been accepting his adver-
tising Notwithstanding the fact that
several years ago they ran him out
of the city. opened up on his game
again.
There is a report that Mr.. and Mrs.
Lucas will make their future home
at 1866 Humbolt street In resi-
people of that neighborhood-the
center of Capitol Hill-are greatly
alarmed over the proposition OF
Lucas being in their midst. and are
more than anxious that he should
change his mind and go somewhere
else.
While in Glenwood Miss Ober-
dorfer was almost ostracized by those
who knew her best on account of her
free love theories and ideas. These
opinions which she entertained were
not generally understood until about
the time she was to leave. Soon af-
ter finishing the school term she
made application for position for
the next yaer. and was accepted. She
left for California, where she Joined
Lucas's "Limitless Life" colony at
San Diego. This brought much crit
icism on her-so much, in fact, that
the school board was obliged to take
the matter up and finally requested
her resignation. This she handed in.
but not without delivering the board
lecture on the beauties of the
"Limitless Life" plan as promulgated
by the negro.
