OBJECTIONABLE CIRCULAR
ISSUED BY TIMBER COMPANY

PORTLAND. Ore, Jan. THE cir
cular to which Senator Tillman made
objection was issued by the st. Paul
and Pacific Timber company, which
was alleged to have the backing of
prominent ST. Paul, Mimi, capitalists.
1t was represented here by a man
named Bryan r. DOrr. The circular
was issued over DORIS name and he
insisted that the company's objects and
purposes were perfectly legitimate. In
brief, the scheme, according to DORIS
circular, was to secure from a num-
ber of people the sum of 5000 each to
defray expenses incidental to the To-
eating of lands, including those in the
Coos bay wagon road land grant, to
which the Southern Oregon company
succeeded.
4 The Southern Oregon company re-
fused to sell the land for $3.50 an acre,
as the circular alleged it was obligated
to do by the government grant, and a
contingent fee of 25 cents per thousand
feet of timber on each claim so located
was to be levied by DORIS company 70
form a fund to prosecute suit against
the Southern Oregon company to force
it to sell it for that amount.

NIGHT RIDERS
FOUND GUILTY
Six Adiudged Murderers in First and
Two in Second Degre-Latter
Given Twenty Years in
Penitentiary

UNION CITY, Tenn, Jan. with a
verdict of guilty the jury in the night
riders trials reported at S:45 o'clock
tonight
Garrett Johnson. It'd Burton, Bob
Ransom, Fred Pinion, Arthur Cloar
and Sam Applewhite were convicted of
murder in the first degree with miti-
eating circumstances, and Bud" Nor
ris and Bob Huffman, the other de-
PENDANTS, were found guilty of murder
in the second degree. Their punish
ment was fixed at twenty years in the
penitentiary.
The punishment for the first six
named defendants was left to the court
and may be death or life Imprisonment,
and the court has indicated an inten-
ton to pronounce the death penalty.
The defense made a motion for a new
trial, which was set for hearing Satur-
day and which will be overruled. Sen
tences will then be imposed. The de-
PENDANTS received the verdict calmly.
Attorney Pierce turned to them when
it was announced and said: I'VE will
tear this case to pieces in the supreme
court"
Bob Huffman, one of the men to es-
cape with twenty years, is the one who,
according to the confession of Frank
Fehringer, fired the shot which killed.
Captain Ranken as he was being drawn
up by the rope.
When the jury's readiness to report
was announced, the militia quietly sur
rounded the courthouse, but there was
no demonstration. The principals were
quickly handcuffed and under military
escort taken to prison.

| MOTHER automobile bin las been

A MOTHER automobile bill has been
~ held up by County Auditor H. G..
- Dow. This time it is the demand
on the auditor for a warrant of 1850
to pay for the secondhand machine
purchased by the board of supervisors
for the use of the highway commission.
In addition to the money the su-
pervisors gave up the car for
merly used by the commission,
and which, owing to lack of proper
care, had been turned into a pile of
junk.
A report was current yesterday that
the auditors action in refusing to pass
this bill was due to a request from the
grand jury to investigate the transac-
ton. The members of that body, it is
surmised, cannot understand why the
county should exchange one second
hand machine for another, and besides,
pay out a goodly sum of money from
the county treasury.
Auditor Dow will appear before
Judge Charles Monroe today to defend
his action in refusing to pay the bill
for the coroner's automobile and it's
accessories. On the writ of mandate
WHICH, SS6hS " OOlllpCi lllill " Pe1y hAAio
bill the auditor will be represented by
Hartley Shaw, chief deputy district at
torney.
Caps and Goggles Too Much
Mr.. Dow will contend that the cor
oner has no use for an automobile in
his Official duties, and even if he has
the county should not be called upon
to pay for caps, goggles, coats, gloves,
etc.
The auditor has also been making an
investigation concerning the prices of
automobiles, with especial reference to
the style of machine purchased for
Coroner Hartwell's use. The catalogue
price of the machine, he has discOv-
cred, is $4,000, which includes an agents
commission of $500. Freight charges
are fixed by Mr.. Dow at $40.
The bill as presented to the auditor,
after being approved by the super
visors, fixes the total cost of the ma
chine at $3230, which, according to the
auditors figures shows a difference of
$3.50. He will want this explained to-
day when his case is heard in court.
Mr.. Dow has also inquired about
speedometer prices. Among the ''in-
cidentals' contained in the bill accom-
panying that for the cOroner's ma
chine are a speedometer and clock, the
price being placed at 500. The same
articles, according to information Sc
cured by Mr.. Dow, may be purchased
for S45.
