THE EMPRESS

The Monarch Comedy Foul are
making a big hit at every per-
formanee and at the close of their
act they find IL hard to get away.
After being called back several
times they are still in demand,
because their work is so good one
wishes they would stay all the
evening.
The act is full of good, clean
comedy. Their quartet numbers
are great, for each one of ,he boys
possesses a good voice and they
are there with harmony. Take IL
all combined, it's the best quartet
that has appeared in the local
field.
There are five other all STELLAR
acts on the bill, making the best
all around show that has played
Tacoma this season.

DISCOVERED DEAD
AFTER TWO DAYS
Tim Townsend, an Old Timer
of Eastern Oregon, Expires
Alone In His Cabin.

After having been dead for at least
two days, IL not longer the remains
Of Tim Townsend, an old-timer Of
Eastern Oregon, we're discovered ly-
ing on the bed in his cabin Just across
the creek south of the depot late Fri
day afternoon. 1t is hard to say just
how long he had been dead, but the
body was in bad state at the time
of discovery, and it is known that he
must have been dead for at least two
days, probably passing off shortly
after retiring on Wednesday evening.
Some are of the opinion however
that he was last seen alive on Tues
day evening, but from what we are
able to learn he was up town on We'd
nesday and was also oyer to the depot
the same evening at about the time
the train arrived. He was missed at
any rate after a couple of days, by
those who were in the habit of MOTTO
ing him about the premises, and his
horses had not been fed or watered
so Dennis SniIIansadecided to visit the
cabin and see ii there was not some
thing wrong, when the discovery was
made that the old man was dead and
the body in bad state of decomposi-
tion. The report was sent uD town
and District Attorney Van Vaotor and
some others went down to investigate
the premises. Coroner Chick was also
in Heppner at the time and upon max
ing an Investigation decided that
death resulted from natural causes
and that an inquest was not necessary
so the body was TUNED over to the
undertaken and interment was had on
Saturday in the Masonic cemetery.
Mr.. Townsend had no relatives in
this immediate vicinity, but has rel
atives residing near Pendleton and in
other parts Of Umatilla county. He
has been resident of Heppner for
about FIVE years past, living some Of
the time with the family of Percy
Hughes. with whom he had been
acquainted for number of years.
He came here from Grant county.
He was an Indian war veteran.
pioneer of Eastern Oregon. and known
to many of the old-timers here. Hav-
ing met with a good many rtverses in
life he was not possessed of much of
this world goods at the time of his
demise, but at one time was quite
in the cattle business.
He was given to drink quite freely of
late years, suffered mucn from chron-
ic rheumatism, aud as he had not been
feeling well for scme time prior to
his death it is thought that this was
the cause of his taking off at this
time. He was about 65 years of age,
and the most of his life was spent in
this section of Eastern oregon.

the jury would either bring in ver-
dict. in favor of the defendant or dis
agree, in view of the results it seems
reasonable to believe that it was not
the innocence or guilt of Irwin that
bothered the jury, but the degree of
the crime. In the indictment re-
turned by the gran1 jury he was
charged with murder in the first
degree" and the verdict of guilty
in the second degree" gives rise to
the presumption that the long session
of the jurymen was taken up in fixing
the degree of the crime.

MORROW COUNTY'S
OFFICIAL VOTE
Returns Show a Total Of 419
Republican and 11s Dem
ocratic Votes Cast.

The official count of the vote of
Morrow county at the recent primar-
les was finished during the week by
Clerk Hill. assisted by Justices Will
Jams and M. A. Bates.
We will not give detailed vote by
precincts, but have tabulated the total
vote received by the various candi-
daets on the republican and democratic
tickets. There was quite large
number of scattering votes for various
Offices and these were duly counted in
making up the summary of the vote
cast and appear on the records of the
official count, but our figures here are
those received by the candidates duly
printed upon the ballot and also for
one or two offices written in. A total
of 419 republican and 118 democratic
votes were cast or less than half of
the registered vote at the time the
primary was held. This illustrates
to degree, the interest that the
electorate generally takes in the nam
ing of candidates for office. AS time
goes on, however, the direct primary
will grow in favor and the electors
will take more interest in turning
out full vote.

The end of the trial and conviction
of the prisoner almost establishes a
local record for speed in murder
trial, for the case was taken up only
Monday morning. The states case
was concluded yesterday morning,
and the defense finished in the mid
die of the afternoon. Judge M. D.
Clifford summed up first for the state
ana John Il. Rand and A. A. Smith
for the defense. District Attorney
Levens concluded for the prosecution
and the instructions of the court fol-
lowed Immediately, the jury retiring
at $50.
Eight witnesses, including Irwin.
who took the stand as the last wit
ness for the defense, testified yester-
day. Hardly any two Of them gave
the details of the crime alike. The
testimony of Guy Lockhart was
made the most of by the prosecution;
as it was he who was the only wit
ness to the shooting who had not
been carousing all night the night
before. The elf-defense theory was
held of no account by the states
attorneys, in view of the fact that
McCraw made no attack on the muir
derer. On the other hand the de-
fense showed that McCraw had
threatened to prepare himself, and
said he would return, with these
words: "I'll get you or you'll get
me. Testimony differs on this point.
Some say that both of McIIraw's
hands were above the bar when the
fatal shots were fired; some say that
his right hand was on his hip pocket,
as if reaching for gun. In the lat
ter event the defense held that Irwin
was justified in shooting in self de-
fense. AS matter of fact, logical
deduction from the many stories was
next to an impossibility.
Irwin on the satnd proved an in
different witness. He testified and
was corroborated by others that he
had asked his victim to 90 away and
leave him alone, and had even gone
down cellar to avoid him. District
ATTORNEY Levens in summing up in
timated that the witnesses were pre-
judiced in favor of the prisoner and
against the dead man. they having
known the former a long time, and
the latter coming only a short time
before the crime in a capacity that
made him unpopular from the very
beginning of his residence in Whit
ney.
Attorney John L. Rand. in pre-
senting the case to the jury, dwelt at
length on the premises, that having
threatened Irwin and coming back,
according to his threat, his hand be-
ing in the position of man to draw
a gun, the logical conclusion of pris-
oner was that he was about to draw
and that in purely self-defense he had
hred himself.
Effort was made to show the good
character of the murderer and the
bad reputation of MoCraw, it being
stated that the latter had
been drunk all night, had abused all
with whom he came in contact, and
had insulted women at a dance the
night before.
During both days of the trial the
court room was crowded all the time
and the interest in the case was in
tense, especially among the people
from Whitney aud vicinity, where
the murderer had lived for a number
Of years, and had many friends.
