DIFFICULTY OVER Line
FENCE FINALLY SETTLED
CHAS. SPEWECK FOUND mot
GUILTY" OF ASSAULT AND
BATTERY.

Costs of Prosecution Placed on Pros
ecutor, w. B. CroSSman, and
Spweck Equally - Evidence in
Case.
The case of the Commonwealth
VS.. Charles Speweck charged with as
| sault and battery on the person of
William B. Crossman was disposed
of early Tuesday morning. The jury
was out only a short time and they
| returned a verdict of mot guilty"
| The prosecutor and defendant to pay
| half the costs of the action.
The jury was composed as follows:
Enos Marsh, Honesdale; M. H. Har-
low, Salem; Calvin Schweighofer,
Damascus; George Wegst, Berlin;
Frank Scudder, Lebanon; Ernest
Ludwig, Hawley; George Beere, Dy-
| berry; Otis lighthouse, Oregon; Geo.
Hoffman, Hawley; J. E. Tiffany,
Mount Pleasant; Archibald Hines,
Preston; Joseph North, Damascus.
Charles P. Speweck and w. B.
| Crossman live on adjoining farms in
Clinton township and the difficulty
arose over a line fence that was
being built by Mr.. Crossman. He
alleges that Speweck threatened to
strike him with an axe while he was
building the fence.
] w. B. Crossman was the first wit
ness called: He said that he had liv-
ed in Clinton fifteen years and that
| last April Speweck tried to assault
him. Their lands join on two sides.
| My son-in-law, Thomas Dolph, and
myself were building a fence on my
| land and Speweck came up to us
| afp ha NIL. Il
pulling up the poles. I told him 1
would have him arrested and he
said that was just what he wanted.
He raised the axe to his shoulder
| in a threatening manner and would
have struck me if 1 had not got out
| of the way.
On cross-eXamination Attorney G..
A. McCarty, for the defendant, tried
| to show that the whole trouble was
over the boundary line between the
two farms but the Court stated that
the case must stick to assault and
battery. The case, he said, ought
not to have come to court at all.
Thomas Dolph was sworn and testi-
fed corroboratively.
For the defense John Speweck was
sworn: He said that he had not
threatened Crossman but that he had
raised the axe to tear down the
fence which he alleged was being put
on his land. Crossman came up
back of me and tried to grab me.
l told him that he should keep away
or he would get hurt. He swore at
me and I swore at him.
Amos Geer, Mort. Lee, Peter
Drake and Amos Wilcox, all residents
of that section, testified to the de-
fendant's reputation for peace and
quietness, and all said that it was
| good.
All testimony was in by 5:45 Mon
, day afternoon when court adjourned.

FUGITIVE CAUGHT


MONTESANO, April 10.-By clever
and prompt detective work on the
part of Chehalis county sheriff's OF.
flcers, Ira Green, who escaped from
the work gang at the court house
April 8, was arrested last night as he
was stepping off the train at st. Lou.
Is, Mo.
The sheriff's deputies have been
on the trail of the man ever since
he escaped five days ago, but owing.
it is believed, to a prearranged plan
and money assistance. Green was
able to keep ahead of them. Green
was on his way to join his wife
who is understood to be in Missouri
Deputy Sheriff H. H. Pennell left
today for st. Louis and will bring
Green back to serve the balance OF
his term and such additional penalty
as the court may make.
The sheriff's Office is now run
ming down clues as to who furnished
Green aid and money for his getaway
and there probably will be other ar
rests.

The vote for Waugh was the sur
prise of the day, he polling S5S votes
to Frances 1914. The active cam

and the evident trades made by the
Socialist party accounts in large part
for the resultant vote. The vote
stood, France. 1874; Waugh. s5S:
Ash, ATT.
The vote by wards follow:

DRILLING FOR
OIL IN KITSAP
zoo Businessmen Witness the
First Efforts to Locate Oil
in Kitsap County
APPARATUS IS MODERN
In Two Twenty-four Hour
Shifts Well Is Drilled
100 Feet Deep

BREMERTON, April 11.-Business.
men of Seattle and Bremerton to the
number Of nearly 200 Monday wit.
messed the first regular effort to To-
cate oil deposits in Kitsap county.
Az guests Of the Kitsap Oil Develop.
ment company, and the California
Puget Sound Oil company, the Wis
itors were taken to the scene of the
well drilling near Silverdale. where
the efforts of the company and their
hopes were clearly outlined and ex.
planned.
Unusually attractive was the ex-
preston from all of those who Wis.
tied the works as to what was re-
vealed. They found a competent
drilling apparatus manned by skilled
oil field operators and exploiters,
with the entire scheme condensed to
q businesslike effort to show conclu-
sively an oft-repeated declaration Of
oil wealth in this section.
Apparatus 10 Modern
The present apparatus consists Of
q steam driven drill of the latest
model operated over q ponderous der.
rick. The work is being carried on
with two 124hour shifts and at a
depth of 100 feet the bore was able
to penetrate so feet in each "a hours.
The site of operation is approx
mately one mile east Of Silverdale.
This location is defined by experts
and scientific oil field men as giving
unusual indication Of oil deposits be-
meath. To ascertain the truth Of this
the we'll will be sunk many hun
dreds Of feet. Probably a period Of
60 days will be used unless a deposit
is earlier discovered.
Dedication 10 Pleasant
A formal dedication Of the work
was made an unusually pleasant oc.
casion and the businesslike efforts
Of the company shown the visitors
was heartily complimented. 1t was
positively declared that even though
the first we'll drilled did not bring
about the favorable results desired.
the work of exploitation would be
continued without interruption.
To bring about this. officials of
the company declare that ample
funds are on hand and the value of
Kitsap county as an oil producing
area is positively to be determined
with this effort.
