Va March 10. One more death, that of Juror Augustus Fowler, who died this afternoon, bus been added to the list of fatalities of thn Allen raid on the Carroll County Courthouse, making a revised total of five. There seem tonight to be no Im mediate prospect of capturing the Al len and their clansman, who escaped to the mountains after their sanguin ary vlilt to nld tholr brother, then on trial for felony. Tho reports which came from the mountnlns last night that Sldna Al len had been captured and that his wife had been killed proved erroneous today. Detectives who went to the Allen home found It deserted. Floyd Allen left wounded after tne courtroom fight; Victor Allen and Hryd Marian, charged with murder In the first degree, were Bplrlted out of town this afternoon, ostensibly for Pulaakl, 1th the possibility that they might he taken to Uonnoke for safe keep- nir.

Thn three convicts were within striking .distance of the goal which they hoped might secure their safety when the final desperate atrugglo for liberty occured, They had covered tho Ktrltch from IJncoln to within ten miles of tho Omaha limits, where they bud cxected to receive the protec tion of friends. Karly In the day the telephone op erator at (iretna, about 15 miles south of here, gave notice of the presence In that vicinity of the desperate men This message brought out several MiHses, one from Omaha, composed of detectives and police officers, anoth er comiHised of Sheriff McShane and deputies, of this county, a third made up of Sheriff Hyres and his deputies from IJncoln.

Whether gas or coal dust was the cnuse has not been de termined. Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald believes thut the men walked into an nmbush and got within 25 feet of the camp when they were murdered, without wnrnlng. The murderer had built a camp se curely surrounded by windfalls and In his stronghold had built a tire and smoked tho ment of an elk, killed severnl days before.

Every Indication of the camp show- ed that Tornow had been back that dny and It is thought that he enme nfter tho smoked elk meat and that he hns another camp. The officers found a quantity of elk meat wrap ped un In an old hide and hidden awny. None or tne guns or me oni cers were found, but In his camp was found Hour which Is evidence that he has been getting outsldo assistance, Sheriff Fnyette will leave in the morning with a posse of 24 men to bring out the remains of the dead deputies.

'CEDE 8ENATOR AHEAD IN PRIMARY PRESIDENT WAY BEHIND IN RACE Wisconsin Man's Supporters Say He Leads Colonel By From 15,000 To 20,000 Votes FARGO, N. D-, March 19. Late to night, Frank Talcott, chairman of the Republican State Committee, and John F. Iiass, of Chicago, manager of the Rooecvelt campaign In this state, notified Senator Dixon, at Washington that n their opinion Senator La Fol lette had carried North Dakota's first Presidential primaries. Neither made a prediction as to La Follette's plurality, but conceded that Colonel Roosevelt had been defeated. This decision was reached by the Roosevelt managers after nearly com plete returns had been received from 18 of th 40 counties In the state. Going over the figures from these 18 counties, the Roosevelt men con ceded ten of them to La Follette out right, listed two others as about ev en and claimed six counties for their candidate. With these figures as a basis, it was decided there were not enough Roosvelt votes on the western slope to balance the heavy poll for La Fol lette In the eastern portion of the state. With Grand Forks, Valley City, Devils Lake, Mlnot and others of the larger cities listed for La Follette It seemed that the Wisconsin Snator's plurality would he large. Leaders of the La Follette move ment sent a telegram to Senator La Follette saying he had won the pri mary, and by rrora is.uuu to zu.uuu votes. President Taft did not figure prom inently in the contest. Because of the difficulty In obtain ing accurate complete returns from many Isolated quarters of the state, it Is doubtful if the total vote In all the 1800 precincts will be known un til late tomorrow. Incomplete returns from 5C5 pre cincts out of 1800 In the state give La Follette C953; Roosevelt 3981; Taft 270. CHICAGO, March 15. The ground hog was scheduled to end bis six weeks' voluntary retirement and come forth at 11 o'clock today, thereby glv lug official notice that gentle spring bad arrived. As far as Chicago and all Its territory Is concerned, toe groundhog would have found It neces sary to equip himself with a snow plow before he could get to the sur face. The blizzard which raged all of yes terday and last nlgbt was the worst of the season. When the sun pene trated the dense clouds at about noon today the snow ceased and the wind died down, but the temperature re mained cold enough to prevent the snow from melting. Decause of the lateness of the sea son, the storm caught the country unprepared. All of the Northwest, the Mlddlo West and Central States were enveloped, and the storm la still ham mering away over portions of the Ohio Valley, and will swoop down on the East before its mission is ended. Mournful tales of abandoned and de layed trains came from every direc tion today. No road steam or electric escaped. In Illinois two trains are hopelessly stalled, and In one Instance passengers are without food, and ef forts to reach them with food have been unavailing. Many trains are held In the great snowdrifts In Kansas Nebraska the Dakotas and Montana, while all schedules In Colorado have been abandoned and trains now must do the best they can. Trains are be ing held at all division headquarters In the West and will not be sent for ward until tracks are cleared. South Bend, Ind., reports 1U 75th day of consecutive snowstorms, con cluding today with a blizzard that drove everything to shelter. All through Northern Illinois and North. em Indiana Interurban traffic was sus pended today. While the North and West were cringing under the belated blizzard, the Southwest was being seriously whipped by tornadoes, and rain driv en by pitiless gales. Five persons also perished In a tor nado in Alabama, and Government re ports tonight announce heavy winds lashing the whole Lower Atlantic Coast. One peculiarity of the pres ent unscheduled storm is that it came from the southwest Temperatures have been dropping in the Northwest for several days, but winds were not high and there was nothing to indicate a storm from that direction. The Great Lakes region cannot hope for much moderation In the weather until the lakes become clear of ice. MOHAIR GROWERS SEEK HER PRICES Mohair growers are not showing much disposition to accept the val ues now offering and Indications point to a very backward period of selling. Owing to the fact that there has been such a wide range between the price paid for mohair at the opening of the reason and the closing, which favored the latter goat owners are disposed to await a more settled state of the trade before offering. While the pools have always offer ed most of the hair cut In Oregon quite a liberal amount of stock has always been available outside of these organizations. The determina tion of buyers to stay away from the Dallas pool unless they are assured of open competition, has caused some concern among those that entered that pool during recent seasons. Tf ie fact that a higher price was paid for mohair offored by other pools last season than obtained at the Dallas, Is an Indication that dealers regard the action of the pool managers a violation of their confidence. The Dallas hair has during recent years been sold to the secretary of the or. ganlzation and not to competitive bid ders as have the other pools. Owing to the cool weather It Is not likely that goat shearing will be come general In the Willamette val ley for ten days or possibly two weeks.

Oregon City A suit of the Portland Railway Light & Power Company against Mary Ann Munley and Arthur McMahon, for the condemnation of property on the west side of the river about three miles from Oregon City, is being heard by Judge Campbell. The defendants allege that tht price offered is less than the property is worth and the railroad under its franchise has no right of condemnation. It is further charged that the road the plaintiff en tends building will not be for the pub lic good but for tne exclusive benefit of a paper mill. The plaintiff Is rep resented by Franklin T. Griffith and the defendant by W. R. King, A. King and Judge Munley. APPLE DEMAND SHOWS LITTLE CAIN The oats market is booming and higher prices are being forced In all Pacific northwest sections. For No. 1 white $34 a ton is now being freely offered for track delivery Portland, but even at this high figure there is but a scant supply available Speculators are absolutely in con trol of the situation and are seeming ly In no hurry to force transactions. Most of them already have a long paper profit on their holdings but they aro asking more. One prominent Interest asserted that No. 1 white oats are likely to sell as high as $40 a ton in a limited way before the new crop is available. While there is only a small amount of business passing in the wheat mar ket this is due almost entirely to the lack of offerings. While millers are freely bidding track basis of 87c for club and 90c for bluestem, holders are asking a cent above these figures and say they will not sell for less. Buyers say that if they want the wheat they must pay the price. WITH PRICES HIGHER There Is a potato famine in the Portland market and not a quarter of the wholesale trade has any stock to offer. With few exceptions none of the dealers has more than a nom inal amount of stock on hand. The price of extra choice has ad vanced to $2.25 per cental in a job bing way 'along the street, and for this quality as high as $2 per cental is now being freely offered In the country.

Notwithstanding all assertions to the contrary being made by those that have speculated and are losing'money in the apple market, demand for this fruit is really slow and prices are not showing the slightest improvement as yet. Calfornia Newtowns of extra fancy quality are being freely offered. A late advice from California states that apple holdings there are the greatest ever known at this time of the year. While most of the stock is held by speculators, the wise ones are now making every effort to unload, while they are trying to keep Oregon holders from letting go of tneir stocK. More local apples are likewise avail able at this time than ever before at this season and every dealer, outside of perhaps one or two, who are over loaded and are therefore trying to manipulate the trade, says that bust ness offering at this time is the small est known for many years. This statement is being made by dealers who themselves are "long" on apples and would have everything to gain and nothing to lose by making an effort to put the market higher.
