NEGRO BROUGHT TO DALLAS
Will Be Given Examination Next
Monday Before Justice Holman.

Ed Majors, the negro parolled con-
vict, arrested on charge of brutally
attacking two women in the vicinity of
West Salem last Monday afternoon,
was brought over to Dallas Tuesday
evening and placed in the county Jail.
He will be given an examination be-
fore Justice of the Peace Hardy Hol-
man next Monday afternoon at one
o'clock.
In the event that Miss Effie Baker,
of West Salem, dies. Majors is in dam
ger of facing a first degree murder
trial This became known when
Charles Baker, a resident of West Sa-
lem, called on District Attorney Nc
Nary and informed that official that,
after Majors attempted to attack Miss
Walton on the Wallace road, he ran
across field, and, entering his, (Ba-
ker's) house, asked his 15-year-old
daughter whether or not her husband
was at home. Miss Baker, says the
father, told the intruder that she had
no husband, whereupon Majors threat
ened to attack her. Being in bed just
recovering from a serious surgical OPP
GRAFTON, the girl screamed in fright,
and neighbors fastened to the house,
frightening the black away, Baker
says his daughter was in critical
condition, as the result of the fright
caused by the appearance and actions
of Majors, but she is now reported
recovering.
The Oregon criminal statutes pro-
vide that if victim in an attack is
killed, the person committing the
crime is guilty of murder in the first
degree, for which the death penalty
is provided.
The penalty for assault alone is 10
years in the penitentiary.
There is a possibility of Majors be-
ing compelled to serve 33 years in the
penitentiary. He still has three years
to serve on his violated parole and
District Attorney McNary says that
he will endeavor to have three sepa-
rate charges lodged against him and
try him on ALL The penalty maxi
mum would be 10 years for each
charge in case he is convicted. The
District Attorney said that he would
come to Dallas and take charge of the
prosecution in person.

BOARD REFUSED PETITION
New School District in Gutbria
Bridgeport Section Unnecessary

At the meeting of the school dict
rict boundary board held in tbe count
house this week the petition TO creato
a new district to be known as district
no ~ was refused. The new district
was to be formed from a portion az
the Guthrie and Bridgeport districts
and was urged by w. T. Hibbard
w. D. Gillian and seven other nett
TONERS. A remonstrance was also
presented by B. Y. Allen, j. n. Gutb-
rie and IL others.
The board listened to the arguments
on both sides and concluded that the
distances now Travelled by the pupiIs
attending the Guthrie and Bridgeport
schools were not excessive, and that
the establishment of another district
would weaken both Of the old ones
and thereby work to the disadvantage
of the school system.
The district boundary board is
composed of County Judge Coad,
Commissioners Riddell and Petre. and
School Superintendent Seymour.
