Mrs. MichaeIsOn
 Acquitted Today
City Magistrate Believed if Shots Fired There Was Good
 Reason.

Mrs. Pete Michaelson was acquitted in the municipal court this morning on the charge of disturbing the peace, charge in which was involved the accusation of having fired shots at Lawrence Bos Tuesday evening near her house between First and Second avenues south. J. J. Finnegan de- tended and City Attorney COppernOll prosecuted.
 During the trial of the case Mrs. Michaelson, herself, Bos and Chief Guest were examined. Mir. Guest showed where he had been summoned to the scene but evidently was not there to see the full occurrence. Charles Strom, who also gave testi- mony, was the man who summoned him. Mir. Strom saw Mrs. MichaelsOn and Bos on the ground off the porch with the woman on ton and both ap- parently struggling. He heard two shots. Bos on the stand admitted that he was too drunk to know what had happened. He has been in jail here before but in alluding to Mrs. Mich. aelson during his testimony he retain ed many Chesterfeldian qualities. q think the lady fired the shots" was an instance of the manner in which Mir. Bos spoke of Mrs. Michaelson who is rather Q connolly young Native woman. Mir. Finnegan immediately rose to the occasion and the apparent opportunity by trying to get Mr. Bos to admit that he might have fired the shots himself but Mr. BOs was ap- parcntly aware of the fact that he had not been drunk enough to do any thing of that kind.
 Mrs. Michaelson testified that BOs and another gentleman came to her house. Mir. BOs, according to the testimony, produced a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of beer and in- vited the unwilling hostess to "join" him. She refused and he got rough. 'T blocked my mouth," she said sev- eral times, and she placed her palm over that organ in a manner that showed the desperate measures found necessary to thwart the OsculatOry propensities of her caller.
 "Him bad, bad man; no good" she said once in the courtroom as she pointed at Mir. Bos and Mir. BOs smil- ed audibly with the ironic mirth of a man who desires to let Justice know that he is being wronged while power less to defend himself. Mrs. Michael son testified that she was badly ill., treated by Bos and she illustrated this by skating her hands as though they were trembling with rage and fear. She finally grabbed a gun. She de- clared that the man had thrown her down 1.-two, three, four times" and that in the struggle she was dragged quite a distance from her cabin. It was evidently all a case arising from the contempt of lordly whites of the Bos variety for women of some color, and the verdict seemed to be perfectly justifable to an OnlOoker. Mir. Bos received a separate trial and was found guilty.

WATTS FoR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

A three-cornered fight has developed
for the Republican nomination as dis
trict attorney, with Homer /. Watts Of
Athena at, we think, the winning apex
of the triangle.
The district attorneyship should not
properly be regarded as training
school for young lawyers, and Watts
hus the advantage Of comprehensive
legal knowledge and experience. More
over, he is sturdy, outstanding man
with an inelastic spinal column, and
when he says IN do my duty" we be-
lieve he will 60 ahead and do It without
fear or favor. Az mayor Of Athena, TO
which Office he was returned by hand
some majority, he has demonstrated
his sense of civic responsibility.
The Leader is well aware that Watts
has his faults, in common with the gem
eraI run Of humanity; but TO much
less degree than the average run Of
public men does he endeavor TO conceal
them. He is refreshingIy frank and
outspoken. His innermost life and
thought are almost an open book. One
knows Just about what Watts is and
what Watts will do. Having decided
upon a certain course of action, he is
unlikely to be swerved by the persua-
sion of friend or the threats of an
enemy.
Homer /. Watts Is son Of the East
End soil. He was born in 1876 at the
old Watts homestead on Pine creek q
few miles below Weston. His educa-
tionaI qualifications are excellent. He
was graduated from the Weston Nor
NAL in 1896; from the Monmouth Nor
mai in 1897; from the civil engineering
course of Throop college. California,
in 1899; from the University Of Oregon
in 1908; from the Harvard college OF
law in 1907. He was captain of the
University Of Oregon football team
in 1902 and was honored with place
on the AIi-Northwest eleven for two
seasons-one year as end
and the next as haIfback. This shows
that he is no weakling, His educa-
tional groundwork was had in the grade
schools of Weston and Athena. When
attending the Weston Normal he and
his brother MarvilIe were members of
oue Of Weston's first winning ball
teams. While Harvard law student,

lower house. For the past two ses-
sIons Mr.. stanfield has ably represent
ed this district In the legislature and
has been instrumental In securing the
passage OF large amount OF con-
structive legislation, He has been
foremost in the drafting Of iegialation
beneficial 10 the Industries OF Eastern
Oregon, being thoroughly acquainted
with the needs of the entire eastern
section OF tho state.
Mr.. stanfieid has an excellent
chance to be speaker Of the next house
and his election TO that important po-
sItion would be a high tribute 10 HIS
ability and effort and just recogni-
tion Of the rights OF Eastern Oregon.
