BULLETIN: -- In regards to the escape of Landis, and Mr. Sinclair's endeavor to give the people the impression that I am to blame in the matter, as expressed in his article in last week's Bulletin, I have this to say: Now, in regards to the law, which unfortunately for all concerned we did not fully understand, we depended upon Mr. Sinclair, as an attorney, and supposing him to be the legal deputy district attorney, to enlighten us. Had he known the law he would have known that he could not have acted as deputy district attorney unless appointed by the district attorney. Now, as to me arresting Landis, when the body of Eudaily was found the Justice of the Peace J. H. Cecil was notified, and the McQuigg boys told him that they recognized the man who did the digging as Landis, whereupon Mr. Cecil told Sinclair such, in my presence, at Cecil's office. Cecil asked him if they should not issue a warrant then, and Sinclair replied that they (the McQuigg boys) would have to be there to swear to the complaint. So it was decided by them to empanel the jury and go after the body, which they did, and when they returned from the scene they brought the McQuigg boys with them, and after leaving the body in the old Collier building went to the Justice's office where Sinclair proceeded to examine the witnesses. His method of examining the witnesses before him was such that he seemingly forced the answers from them that he wanted. He did not once ask them whether or not they recognized the man as Landis. During the proceedings when he asked a question and the McQuigg boys answered him, he would say: "That's not Landis; that evidence wouldn't convict him." He would also say it in such a harsh and gruff manner which would naturally frighten the boys who were giving testimony before him. In fact, he seemed to be so positive that it wasn't Landis. Why did he not accept this evidence? And after refusing to recommend the issuing of a warrant, saying that there was no evidence against him (Landis), how could the sheriff be expected to take the responsibility of arresting him. The district attorney's office is supposed to be, and always has been a bureau of information for the sheriff, coroner and all other public officers. Now, I am under $40,000 bonds. Supposing that I had attempted to arrest Landis after having been refused a warrant and directed by the deputy district attorney not to arrest him, and Landis would have been shot dead in the attempt, Sinclair, I dare say, would have been the first man to have made trouble for me and my bondsman. Had Landis been shot the greatest evidence would have never come to light, as his running away proved, without a doubt that he was the guilty man. Sinclair did not act as a man who wanted to get at the truth in the matter, but would declare almost every time he was approached that it was not Landis. As to him telling me to watch Landis and if he attempted to escape to arrest him, he positively did not say it, as there was no such conversation passed between Sinclair and myself, and Sinclair knows it.

[M2006 Below is all one item even though some things are double spaced] Coquille Team Win The Most Hotly Contested Game of Baseball this Season was Played Here Sunday. Marshfield Vs. Coquille. The most important game of baseball of the season was played last Sunday afternoon between the marshfield [sic] and Coquille teams. The weather was little warmer than necessary, but nevertheless everyone was satisfied. [no "a" between was and little.] It was decided that the national cudgel should be wielded first by the Marshfield team. When it was known that the visiting nine were to have first bat a wave of suppressed titterings passed over the roof of the grand stand. The country maiden all dressed in white clapped her hoe-handle scarred hands; the city maiden waved one of Lorenz's ten-cent handkerchiefs with a triumphant wave. Then there was a calm and five hundred voices cried out: "play ball." Denning at the bat and Ferry on deck, screched [sic] the score-card man. The umpire said, "Play ball!" Denning marched to the plate with the air of a hungry chicken freshly filled dough dish. A moment later he sent the ball over the second-baseman's head and hurriedly made first base. Then Ferry picked up the bat and knocked out a hot liner, which brought Denning in, himself making the second. Saunders died at the bat, followed by Sneddon. Ferry somehow managed to sneak in thus scoring two runs for the visiting team. By this time something like seasickness took possession of the home team and the Coquille contingency groaned a doleful requim. By chance the third man went to the bench amid wild cheers. Baxter was first to the bat for the home team, and as he stood over the plate he swung the bat one moment then permitting it to rest peacefully in a horizontal attitude over the plate as if to indicate where he wanted the wily pitcher to put the ball. The ball accidentally hit his bat and allowed "Stiffy" to make first. Nefzger was the next. He grabbed the bat, looked wise and after a few passes, all was over. Lorenz, the giant of the Coquillers, then sauntered toward the plate, swung a few times and sent the ball over the short stop's head bringing Baxter in and making second himself, only to be assassinated by John Benham who died at the home plate. Thus ended the first inning -- the score attending 2 to 1 in favor of the visiting team. The Marshfielders then came in but died without scoring any more. The home team came in feeling very jubilant. They were retired without scoring. Anderson managed to get in the way of the ball in this inning, receiving it on the head. The "lop-ears" then took possession of the field and allowed the Marshfielders to score one more run. In the last half of the third inning Hunt convinced the Marshfielders that Coquille was still in the ring by scoring another run. In the first half of the fourth the "clamdiggers" failed to score, and retired to the mudflats amid groans and cheers. In the last half of the fourth Baxter and Nefzger both scored, amid howls of delight, making the score stand even. In the first half of the fifth the visiting team failed to acquire any wealth and retired to the field. Coquille scored one in the last half and the game stood 4 to 3 in Coquille's favor. The sixth inning was uneventful both teams scoring one apiece. Marshfield scored twice in the first-half of the seventh, while in the last half Coquille scored four times. The Marshfielders then came to the bat and laid a big goose egg. Coquille, in the eighth, managed to bring in three more tallies. In the first of the ninth Marshfield made a gain of three and died, Coquille not playing the last half. Thus the game ended with Coquille as the victors -- the score being 12 to 9 in their favor. + [M note: the roster was actually in 2 side-by-side columns] Marshfield Denning, 1 b Ferry c & lf Saunders 2b Sneddon lf Wright p Magary rf Hutcheson, cf Short ss Byler 3b Coquille Baxter 2b Nefzger p Lorenza 3b Benham ss Johnson c Anderson 1b Hunt lf Ryan rf H Benham lf [names and positions quoted but I didn't include the various stat. and scores.] Runs by Innings Marshfield 2 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 3 - 9 Coquille 1 0 0 2 1 1 4 3 * -12 Struck out by Nefzger, 16.

Umpire Page understands his business and was impartial in his decisions. Nonda Anderson got a tap on the head from a ball thrown by Wright. Jimmy Hutcheson tried to dodge under a down-and-in curve when he got it on the head causing a little delay while he received a sponge bath. Nefzger pitched an elegant game. The "small boy" did the usual amount of "guying." "Johnny" forgot he was playing ball part of the time and took some time in "chewing the rag" with the spectators. Keep cool, Johnny. "Fingers" hasn't forgotten the game and played good ball. "Gravy" Magary walked off with the credits of the field. Saunders is all right on second. Catcher Ferry, of the "clamdiggers," had a finger badly torn, in the game. "Old Iron Horse" Johnson only had three fingers knocked out of joint and one badly torn, during the qame, but he still played on. "Billy, you're wanted at the telephone!" Byler's specialty is batting (the air). A Coquille girl fainted, in the grand stand, when Jimmie got hit alongside the head with the ball. Jim must have a few lady acquaintances over this way. Denning played good ball, but Willie's twirls fooled him somewhat. Hank did good work with the club. Good boy, Hank, you're improving. Baseball Schedule.
