THE RANGE GOES ANOTHER
 PIONEER

Captain John Kinney has gone into eternity with other border eel ebrities after a spectacular career of half a century as a citizen and sol dier, filled with thrilling incidents and experiences the like of which are fast fading into memory.
 His death occurred in this city yesterday morning about 4:30 o'clock after an illness of less than one month, due mainly to Bright's dis ease. He is among the last of the truly adventuresome pilgrims of the frontier to be called, and in the early days of his whirlwind life was known in the southwest as one of the most daring and courageous m the annals of men who were sacraiic- ing and unflinching to preserve Jaw and order.
 He entered New Mexico in 1868 as a trooper of the Third U. $. Cavalry, and his military service ended at Camp Bowie, Arizona, in 1873, as sergeant of Troop k.
 Then followed a civil career as an official which brought him into con spicuous rating in New Mexico, when as a deputy sheriff and the chosen head of posses to run down criminals, he attained renown that still endures. His exploits in bandit fields are best known and shown by the five bullet wounds in his body, and his sagacity in running down the notorious Billy the Kid" closed a criminal wave in New Mexico of death and destruction without a parallel in border lawlessness.

He is survived by sister, Miss Nora Kinney, ot Crawford county, Iowa, who arrived a few days ago to be at his side when the summons came, while two brothers, Richard and P w. Kinney, of the above state,, also are left ot the family. Two daughters, Miss Mary Kinney of Prescott and Mrs. Charles Lawler of Tucson are alive and the latter is to come to Prescott to say farewell. The deceased afll- lated with the Odd Fellows, and being a veteran of the Spanish American war, as we'll as captain of the Texas Rangers many years ago. his funeral will have a military as well as fraternal observance on Thursday afternoon, when will be closed the earthly career of one of the most generous and best of men ever to grace the early life of the thrilling days of the border.

Captain Kinney stepped aside to give to Sheriff Pat Garrett of Lin coin county, this honor, but he kept in the saddle and performed other equally daring deeds to wipe out the large criminal element of the coun- try, and in so doing attained the good will of the law-abiding.
 The deceased added luster to his fearless nature when as a scout un- der General Crook in this section, and with other military command CTS of the southwest, he took to the field in campaigns against the In dians, winning admiration and spe- cial mention for every duty so hero ically performed. He was one of the most unique men of the border, pos sessing a character which gave him a wide and favorable name Captain Kinney also was of the venturesome nature that his exploit in entering Cuba with a few companions during a revolution often has been men tioned as extremely dangerous, but he triumphed, and as if by a miracle survived He was finally rescued by General Leonard Wood, and the ties of friendship between the two men were sealed to the last.

BEHIND FOOT LIGHTS JACK HOLDS HIS BIGGEST
 l RIAL
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 DOUGLAS, Aug. 25.-Hearing of testimony against 200 Douglas and
 Bisbee citizens arrested last month for alleged participation in the de- portations that followed the I. w. w. trouble in this district two years ago, was started here this afternoon.
 Thirty cases were dismissed at the opening of the hearing, five on request of County Attorney French, who stated that he had been unable to find testimony to corroborate the charges, and the remainder for the reason that the defendants had all ready been given one hearing on the charge and bound over to the Stu perior court for trial on their own request 10 days ago.
 The majority of the defendants, residents of the Warren district, ar rived here early this afternoon from Bisbee on a special trail, known as Deportation Special No. 2" which will run daily between the two cities as long as the hearing is in progress.
 One of the largest theaters in Douglas has been taken over, the local justice court being far too small to hold defendants, witnesses and spectators.
 Several of the most prominent of the defendants, wno have been spending the summer in California are stranded on the coast on account of the strike of Southern Pacific trainmen and will probably be given severance from the blanket warrant and their hearings held next month.
 Justice w. C. Jacks, who is hold ing the hearings. held court from the stage. Occupying an entire sec ton the defendants maintained com with their attorneys by passing a steady stream of notes over the footlights.
 Harry C. Wheeler who as sheriff conducted and assumed full respon- 'ibility for the deportations, was un- lble to return to Douglas from New Jersey, where he has been taking part in the craftsmanship contest, in ime for the joint hearing. His case will be called probably September IS, when the third group of hearings will ,e held.

Mr.. Paulus also cited the formation of

being taken in the interest of the indus
try this year.

only has there been, in most instances,
average or better than average crops,

eases, at the highest point ever reached,

City Council Washes Hands
of Proposition to Establish
Municipal Telephone System

A solar plexus blow was delivered
municipal telephones in Salem when
the council last evening even sefused
/ TO discuss the matter. And in addition
to refusing to talk about it. the conn
ell turned down the motion of Alder
man West to send E. T. Busselle to
Portland August q to represent the
city at the hearing on telephone rates
before the public service commission.
As the eouncilsis now organized,
there is but little chance of municipal
telephones coming up even tor discus
sion. Alderman West thought the peo-
pie should have o chance to vote on
the proposition just to find out what
was wanted
Alderman Utter said that com.
mittee appointed April 81 of this year
had Investigated, and that it seemed
the more the committee heard about
erecting a local plant at about $780,
600 and listened to the confusing ar
raw Of figures, the less it was inclined
| TO faver city owned telephone.
Referring to the answers from the
mayors of a number of Oregon cities
and their opinions ON city owned tele-
phones, Utter said he cared nothing
| for what lot of mayors said, as they
knew nothing about telephones. Nor
| did he care what other experts thought
of the experiences of E. T. Busselle.
West wanted each member of the
council to come ont and talk about
municipal telephones. But 1t seemed all
present were prepared to go on record
against another phone system in Sa-
| lem. yolk of the fifth ward and Hager
|of the first ward spoke briefly against
having another telephone system in
the city. West said he did not want
q city owned telephone unless il could
be learned in advance whether the svs.
TEN would be permitted to make phys
zeal connection with the old phone and
whether a city owned phone would
put the Bell out of business
The consensus of opinion seemed to
be that even If Salem spent q quarter
iof million dollars on its own phone,
