few corrections in the report Of
the shooting in Mondays paper.
After the row between Lewis
Mclean and Crawford, negroes,
Stewart Edwards, colored, had
quite bit to say about the mat
ter and as the special policeman,
Mr.. H. E. Carter. tried to make
him stand back and be quiet, Ed
wards cursed and said he had
never been arrested and did not
intended to be arrested then.
Edwards was missed then for
few minutes, long enough to go
to his house after his pistol, then
he returned and the pistol was
seen in his pocket as he went up
to the guard house.
Some one told the police,
Messrs. H. E. Carter and D. B.
Mccormick, about the gun, SO
they, with Mr.. Chas. Allen, went
to arrest Edwards. AS they went
to make tha arrest the negro
walked off and did not pay any
: attention to their demands to
hault. After following Edwards
about Is or 80 yards Mr.. Carter
went around him and faced him

stopped and favored the platform say
ing so.
This brought forth the loudest APP
plause to that time, the enthusiasm be
ing doubled when Mr.. Thurston agreed
that there was more III the point than
he had first thought. While the Terri
tory could not prohibit the importation,
there was no question of the right of
congress to do SO. He expressed him
self as heartily in favor of what both
Nh Kealoha and Mr.. Magoon had said
and suggested that the latter present
an amendment TO the meeting.
There was some suggestion that this
amendment should be separate from the
platform, but several vigorous speeches
were made against this and the amend
ment went into the platform, as above.
Before the meeting closed. J. G. Da
Silva made a stirring address on the
necessity for earnest work on the part
of the pT0hibitionists, expressing his
willingness. for one, to spend time and
money IN the cause.
Before adjournment, the chairman
asked the members Of the executive
committee to remain.
This committee will hold its first reg
ular meeting today at one o clock in
the Stangenwald building.

had been requested to present a sug-
gested platform of principles, then read
the platform as given at the head of
this column, with the exception of the
! third paragraph, and moved the adop-
ton of such as the platform of the
Prohibition League. Mr.. Thurston re-
ferred to the splendid representation at
the prohibition meeting, a representa-
ton that included the people of every
class, of every religion, of every poIiti-
cal party and of practically every trade,
| profession and occupation in the Is
lands. The enthusiasm shown promised
much for the success of the fight they
were about to enter upon, as a more

important development work. Prof.
Boyer, chemist of the medical coll
lege at Salem, has examined the
property with great care and pro-
nounces it valuable and it is this ex-
animation that has induced the
owners to do large amount Of de-
velopment this season. The Black
Bear group adjoins the famous Oriole
mine which is known far and wide
as one of the valuable mines of the
camp.
The Galice Consolidated Mines
company, which owns some very
valuable properties, will have some
important work done this season by
Dan Green, who was appointed re-
ceiver for the company some months
ago. AS soon as the legal proceed
ings are settled the property will be
worked on large scale. Mr.. Green
is properly conserving the interests
of the company and he will be quite
certain to make satisfactory ac-
counting Of his stewardship to the
court and the owners.

LOCAL MINSTREL SHOW
HERE MAY 8 AND 10

May and 10 the Grants Pass
Commercial Club will present to the
generous public their Peerless Min
strel show under the direction Of
Geo. T. Wilson. To say that this
will be one of the best attractions Of
the season is putting 1t mildly, as
about so Of Grants Pass best male
singers and actors are In the cast
and have been rehearsing constantly.
Everyone enjoys minstrel per-
formance, and why? Because 1t com
prehends in its makeup" nothing
but pure unadulterated fun combined
with melody, and this is more strik-
ingly so when the personnel of the
cast Is drawn from among those
whom we know in the everyday
walks of life; and through jokes and
funny sayings have their distinctions

JAS. INQUIRE RECEIVES
MANSLAUCnTER VERDICT
Jury Out Three HOurs-Application
Has Been Made for New
Trial.

The Mcclure murder trial which
had occupied the attention of the
circuit court since Wednesday morn
ing Of last week came to an end last
Monday night. The evidence being
all in in the early afternoon of Mon
day the attorneys for both sides
made their arguments and finished
about $50 in the evening. After
the jury had partaken Of supper they
retired for consultation and were
out about three hours, when they
came into court with a verdict of
manslaughIer. The attorneys for
the defense 1T once moved for new
trial and Judge Calkins fixed Mon
day, May 23, when the motion will
be heard.
This trial has created more or less
feeling among the people In the
neighborhood where the tragedy oc-
Cured. There was, as is always the
case, two sides, and both were In at
tendance on the court, and more or
less argument and general discussion
was indulged in on the outside. Nc
Guire took the verdict In stoical
manner and went back to jail with
out comment on the action Of the
jury. His friends had hoped for an
acquittal on the ground Of self
defense, but the jury, which was
composed of some Of the very best
citizens of the county, failed to see
the circumstances in that light. The
case was earnestly contested by both
the prosecution and the defense and
the fight is not yet over. Should the
Judge refuse TO grant a new trial
that will end the case unless an ap-
peal is taken. Should a new trial
be granted a jury will again go over
the full details and may have some
additional facts to be considered.
The particulars OF this case were
given in the Courier at the time the
crime was committed and again in
last weeks issue.

the exhibit the best roses. This
