Pear Growers Scored for Negligence

Wilmer Sieg characterizes a large
portion of the 300 pear growers Of the
Hood River valley as extremely care
less business men. MIR. Sieg says that
it is next to impossible to get the pear
growers to turn in estimates on their
years yield.
'We have perhaps received replies
from one-fifth of our members" says
Mr.. Sieg. Last year our pears ran
practically three times in excess of our
estimates. This is not good business. "
Mr.. Sieg declares that it is doubly
important that he secure estimates on
d'Anjous,, most of which are exported
to South America and for which it is
necessary to arrange in advance for
shipping facilities.

O'CONNELL AND THE WITNESS
Sample of the Great Irishman's lntui-
ton and Quickness of Per-
ception.

Daniel O'Connell, in his career at
the bar, says Judge Parry in the Corn
hill Magazine, was rightly acclaimed
by the people as 1.-THE Counsellor" He
remained a stiff gownsman to the
end; he never asked for silk, and re-
fused the judgeship offered to him.
No government ennobled him. He had
two titles, but they were given him by
his fellow men. In the greater world
of politics he was "The Liberator;" in
his own demesne on the Munster cir
cult and among the peasantry of the
West he was 1.-THE Counselor"
OF The Counselors intuition and
quickness of perception in guessing
the secret in a lying witness heart
many stories are told. He certainly
had a very intimate knowledge of the
thoughts and feelings of the lower
classes, but in the following story it is
difficult to believe that he had not re-
ceived some inkling of the real truth
before he went into court. The story
is told, however, as an example of his
marvellous power of insight, and is in
any case a curious record of humor,
villainy and superstition.
1t was a will case, and the validity
of the will was in dispute. The wit
nesses for the defense all swore that
the testator had signed the will while
life was in him." Other counsel had
cross-examined the witnesses, and the
last witness was handed over to O'Con-
nell. He, too swore by the same
phrase that "life was in the testator
when the will was signed"
by virtue of your oath, was he
alive?" asked O'ConneIl.
"By virtue of my oath, life was in
him"
''Now," continued O'Connell, with
great solemnity, and assuming an air
of inspiration, Il call on you in the
presence of your Maker. before whom

early the morning following the at
tempted hold-up, reaching my destina-
ton some eighteen hours later. Here
/ learned, in addition to the facts I
have given, that there was a north
bound passenger train from Galveston
that night. There was water tank
about three miles south of Overton,
and here the north-bound train was to
meet and pass Conductor Frazier

men had intended to steal a ride on the
south-bound train to the water tank.
and there to board. the north-bound
train from Galveston hold it up, and
rob it between the water tank and
Overton. Owing to their discovery.
however, and the unexpected shooting
affray, they left the train and, taking
circuitous route, made their way to
Overton.
They could easily be traced back
thus far, owing to their tracks in the
snow, but when they reached the main
street their tracks were lost among
the numerous other tracks there.
concluded that the men were residents
of Overton and not tramps, and contin-
ued my Investigations on that hypothe-
sis.
In the meantime, as soon as the
news Of the murder became generally
known, a special train had been sent
from the town of Marshall, Texas, to
OVerton, with pack of bloodhounds,
which were owned and kept by the
Texas & Pacific Railroad company
and were in charge of man named
Mundon, who accompanied the hounds
everywhere they went. Mundon
brought a posse of several men with
him, in addition to the hounds, and as
soon as the train reached Overton all
the citizens thronged to join the party
The hounds were taken to the spot
where the masked Anhen had leaped
from the train, which was about a
mile and half south of Overton
Being unleashed, they at once took VI
the scent, following the tracks to over
ton, where, like the men, they became
confused by the large number O
tracks on the main street. However
there was one wise old dog in the pacl
named Lee. Lee finally scented the
track in the street and began below
ing, and continued until he arrived a
high picket fence which surrounded
the home of a man named John Price
The hounds were being followed by {
large crowd, and when they arrived a
the fence, which was too high fol
them to leap, Lee kept up his bowling
until Mundon silenced him.
The hounds were then taken back Il
the spot at which Lee had scented tn,
first track that led to the home o
Price, and, after good deal of barking
old Lee scented another track which
he followed to the house OF a certain
John knight.
Knight and Price were brothers-ln
law, and both of them were among tn,
crowd that was following the hounds
so that the crowd burst into jeers ant

The murder of Conductor Frazier by
bandits occurred while was chief Spe-
cial agent for the Missouri Pacific kail-
way. and Mr.. Hoxie, the vice-president
and general manager, notified me to
take action upon the case. was to
proceed to Overflow Texas. where the
attempted hold-up had occurred, and
make my Investigations Immediately.
This episode happened in the year
1885. 1t was in the month of Febru-
airy and about midnight. The weather
was unusually cold for that section,
and the ground was covered with
about two inches of snow. The train,
which was bound south from Long
view to Galveston and San Antonio,
was in charge of Conductor Frazier.
Just as the train was about to pull
out of the small station of Overton the
colored porter whose duty it was ITO
see that no tramps or other intruders
boarded it when it was leaving sta
tons, noticed two men climb aboard
what is known as the blind" end of
the baggage car, from the north side.
Or seeing them, the porter boarded
the baggage car at its rear end and, as
the baggage cars of that period all had
by the rear door and opened the front
door from the inside, thus coming upon
the men suddenly from within. The
train had not yet fully got underway
and the porter, peering out, ordered
the tramps, as he supposed them to
be, to get off the train. Immediately
they turned upon him, each man hold
ing two large revolvers. The porter
then perceived that they we're wearing
masks, and he was thoroughly fright
ened. Siamming the door shut, he
fastened it and rushed back into the
car. where he met Conductor Frazier,
whom he informed that there were two
tramps on the front end of the bag
gage car and that when he ordered
them of, they had pointed reyolvers
at him. He did not tell the conductor
that they were wearing masks, how
ever.
Conductor Frazier, believing the
men to be merely tramps who had got
upon the car for the purpose of steal
ing ride, concluded that he would In
vite them into the smoking car out of
the cold, where they would be more
comfortable, and put them OFF at the
next station. They would be more
comfortable in the smoking car than
out on the front platform. He went to
the front end Of the car, accompanied
by brakeman named Powers. He
opened the front door and the men i'm
mediately opened fire on him. Frazier
fell forward dead, his body rolling off
the train into ditch.
The men now caught sight of Pow
ers, the brakeman. who was behind the
conductor. AS soon as the firing be-
gan Powers turned to run back into
the coaches. He was shot in the body
and seriously wounded. The men then
sprang from the train and disappeared.

from Mr.. Hoxie, l departed for Over
