MICHAEL RYAN
ON TRIAL TOMORROW
MURDERER WILL FACE
JURY SECOND TIME
Case Has Been Long Delayed by Va
rious Causes-Win Probably Be
Only Case Before Jury This Term.

| Michael Ryan, indicted for murder
in the first degree for the killing OF
Edward Dixon at the Ryan farm in
the northeastern part of the county,
will be placed on trial for the second
time this fall, tomorrow morning at
10 O'Clock. Circuit Judge H. ]. Bean
and District Attorney Phelps return
ed Saturday evening from Heppner
and all arrangements have been com
pleted for the commencement of the
trial.
The case was first called last
month after having been postponed
once on account of the illness of the
prosecuting witness. Then after the
greater part of the week had been
consumed in vain effort to secure
a trial jury, the case came to a sud-
den end owing to the discovery that
Ryan had been indicted for the mur-
der of George Dixon when Edward
Dixon was the name of the dead
man. The mistake was due to the
fact that at the time Of the tragedy
the dead man was frequently refer
red to as George Dixon.
Considerable difficulty was encoun-
tered in the effort to secure a Jury.
owing to the fact that the accused |
man is a pioneer resident of this |
county and is well known to all the |
older inhabitants, and to the fact that |
much publicity was given the affair
at the time Of the tragedy, Still more
difficulty will probably be encounter
ed this time so that the greater part
Of the week will no doubt be con-
sumed in the examination of venire-
men.
This will probably be the only case
to be tried in the circuit court at this
time as the Morse horsestealing cases
viii probably go over to the January
term for their second trial.
Morrow county case will also
probably be tried at the January
.erm in this city, as Theodore G. Ear

Cairo, Ills, Nov. 15.-Cairo was III
the grasp of firm authority yester-
day and experienced the quietest
Sunday that has been its lot in years
No saloons were open and the few
attempts made to evade the orders
of Governor Deneen in this regard
met with quick detection. several ar
rests being made by the militia.
Definite Indication that the legal
machinery of the state would be
started in an effort to bring the lynch
leaders into court came with the ar
rival at his home here of Judge But
Ter of the circuit court. He indi-
Gated that he would call a grand jury
to take up the work as soon as the
adjourned session of his tribunal is as
sembled December s.
Despite this announcement, there
was no change in the attitude of the
city regarding court proceedings in
this district. Half a dozen pastors
lashed the constituted authorities
without stint. telling their grogrega-
tions that the lynchings were likely
to prove blessing in disguise.
Cairo stands disgraced before the
world, but the disgrace is not in the
lynchings," said the Rev. George NJ.
Babcock of the Church of the Re-
deemer, Episcopalian. "The real dis
grace lies in the fact that the city has
lawless elements to control
civic affairs. In the same alley in
which Miss Pelley was killed there
have been four assaults on young wo-
men within year. This defiance of
law and order made the lynchings
to secure Justice"
"The lynchings were the harvest
of the seeds of lawlessness that have
been sown in Cairo for years" said
the Rev. A. S. Buchanan of the Pres
Dyterian church.
"Cairo's disgrace is not the mob |
out the conditions that made the |
mob necessary" said F. A. Thielecke, !

possible to obtain q jury before Jan

Singapore, Nov. 15.-The mail
steamer LaZyne of the Messageries
Maritime service, running between
Java and Singapore and on her way
to this port, collided early yesterday
morning with the steamer Onda Of
the British India line and sank two
minutes later. Several European pas
sengers, including Baron and Baron
ness Beniczki, the captain of LaZyne,
five European officers and Ss others,
comprising native passengers and
members of the crew, were drowned.
The rescue of 81 persons, practically
from the jaws of shoals of sharks,
formed a thrilling incident of the
wreck
The accident occurred in thick
haze at l o'clock in the morning. The
vessels were steaming at good speed
and La lyme was cut almost in two.
There was no time for panic nor any
attempt on the part of officers to get
out the boats. A majority of those
on board were caught in their berths
and carried down with the vessel.
The force of the collision brought
the Onda almost to a dead stop. En-
gines were at once slowed and boats
were lowered. The rescue work prov
ed thrilling for not only were the res
cuing parties impeded by the dark
ness. but shoals of sharks were al
ready attacking those clinging to
pieces Of wreckage.
Sixty-one persons from the ill-fat-
ed vessel finally were dragged into
the boats and brought by the Onda to
this port. Many had been bitten by
shargs, several being severely injur-
ed.
