THE MORNING OREGON! AN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1903. WOULD END IT ALL Lovesick Swain Threatens to Shoot Himself. NOW CLAIMS HE WAS INSANE Volcanic Affection of E. TV. Hood for Farmer's Daughter Lands Him in County Jail, Where He Xow Philosophizes. Only the prompt action of the girl ho madly loved saved Earl W. Hood from I death by suicide Tuesday evening. "With j a loaded pistol to his head Hood vowed that he would end his life, and was about to pull the trigger when the girl, Miss Lena Mead, snatched the weapon from his unsteady hand. Hood has persisted for some time in his undesired attentions to Miss Mead, the pretty 18-year-old daughter of George Mead, a farmer living near St. Johns. Though his affection -was not returned, he repeated his frantic offers of marriage, until after the final scene Tuesday even ing the Mead family caused his arrest. 'The man with the triple personality," was the name given to Hood after his ex amination by a prominent local physician a year ago. Placed under hypnotic Influ ence he told of three distinct lives. When under one particular line of Influence he lived in one life. When the physician awakened a new train of thought, still another life was unfolded by the subject. When in his normal condition he knew .nothing of any of his personalities. Fi nally the hypnotic Influence dispelled the surplus personalities and Hood was able to move among his rational fellow-men as one of them. He has been employed as a driver by the Unique Tailoring Com pany. Hood now occupies a cell in the County Jail, awaiting an examination on a charge of insanity. He states that his mind has previously been affected, and that he had one of his spells when the affair happened. On Tuesday evening, while Marshal C. R. Organ, of St. Johns, was attending a council meeting at that place, he was summoned to the Mead home, being In formed that a man was there flourishing a revolver and frightening the people greatly. The Marshal proceeded to the scene of the disturbance In haste, and upon his arrival found that several of the neighbors had placed Hood under re straint. When questioned by the officer concern ing his actions. Hood answered: "What Is this, hell?" His eyes glistened strange ly, and he said he did not know where he was or where St. Johns was. He denied having a gun, and appean-d to have lost his reason completely. The Marshal start ed with him on the cars for Portland to lock him up. Upon reaching Piedmont, Hood asked where his revolver was, and tald he had purchased It at a second-hand store for $3.50. Yesterday afternoon, when seen at the County Jail by an Oregonlan reporter, Hood appeared rational. He said the girl at one time received his attentions favor ably, but recently changed her mind and told him she would not have anything more to do with him. He denied that he intended to harm her In any way, and said: "A man's a fool when he is love sick. I was golnjj to kill myself, I guess, but I'm all right now. I have had trouble with my head before. About a year and a half ago I fell from a scow at Univer sity Point and injured my head. I was confined In StVlncent's Hospital for 69 days. Don't son remember reading about the man with two lives? I would be .my self, and then I would have one of those spells and be another person altogether. I was two distinct Individuals. A physi cian hypnotized me and treated me, and I thought I was all right. He wanted me to continue coming to his office, and of fered to give me $2 for an hour every day of my time. When I get out of this I am going to have nothing more to do with the women. I am going to try and work in some way for the Lord. I don't care what they do with me. I deserve any thing for acting the way I did. But I don't like to see the young lady obtain notoriety over this. She Is not to blame in any manner. So far as I am concerned. I am willing to stand any punishment. I hope her good name will not suffer, be cause she does not deserve It." Mead Is 24 years old, of good appearance, and says he came here three years ago He states that he does not drink nor use tobacco. His purchasing a revolver and carrying it with him when he went to see the girl denotes premeditation, but he positively declares that he had no idea of harming her in the least. If an exami nation shows that he Is not crazy. District Attorney Manning will file a criminal charge against him. OSCAR STONE ARRAIGNED. ; He" Must Plead Saturday to Charge of Larceny by Bailee. Oscar Stone, who Is said to have realized $2000 in fraudulent timber land transac tlons about a year ago, and who was ar rested recently at Sand Point, Idaho, was arraigned yesterday before Judge Sears on a charge of larceny by bailee of $350 from one of his victims. Dr. C. W. Cor nelius. Roger B. Sinnott, who Is attached to the law office of Carey & Mayo, appeared for Stone and asked that the time to plead be extended five days. Deputy District Attorney Spencer said he had no objection to the delay except that he desired to get all cases at Issue before next Monday, the opening day of the September term of court. Mr. Sin nott explained that Judge Carey, who represents Stone as counsel, is very busy. and Judge Sears ended the discussion by ordering Stone to plead Saturday morn ing. Stone is still confined In the county jail In defaultof bail, and Is regularly visited by his wife. CLAIMS SHARE OF ESTATE. Ida Mary Feller Asks Court to Re move J. M. NIckum, Administrator. Ida May Feller wants a share of the estate of her grandmother, Susannah NIckum, deceased, which she alleges is valued at $S500, and she charges that J. M. NIckum, the administrator of the es tate, represented the total valuation to be only $1,500. Believing in this sharing, Mrs. Feller alleges that before her mar riage, and while she was yet a minor, H. H. Northup as her guardian ad litem effected a settlement in her behalf with the administrator for $150. Mrs. Feller, by her attorneys, Alex Bernstein and H. H. Northup, yesterday flled a petition in the County Court ask ing, among other things, that J. M. NIckum show cause why he should not be removed as administrator. Judge Web ster made an order directing the admlnls trator to file an answer within ten days, and set the case for hearing on Sep tember 24. In her petition Mrs. Feller sets forth that her maiden name was Ida May Nick um and that she Is the only surviving le gal heir of J. W. NIckum, who was a son of Susannah NIckum and brother of J. M, NIckum. She says that the Inventory of the estate of Susannah NIckum, deceased flled by J. M. NIckum, shows property conslstlrig of only 75 acres of wild land in Washington County worth $1500. Accepting this fact to be true, the pe titioner asserts that H. H. Northup, who had been appointed as her guardian ad litem, consented to accept $150 from J M. NIckum as administrator. In liquidation of her claim as one of the heirs. The ad ministrator had also filed claims amount ing to $2034 for alleged expenditures by nlm in behalf of Susannah NIckum, and that he had paid the funeral bill of $178. Mrs. Feller thought that under all of these supposed facts she had done well enough in obtaining $150, but she now avers that subsequently, through an in vestigation brought about Because .of other claims filed against the estate, she discovered that J. M. NIckum in June, 1901, obtained $7000 from his mother as part of the proceeds of the sale -of cer tain property for $9000. She alleges that as administrator J. M. NIckum made no mention of this $7000. Mrs. Feller also asserts that J. M. NIckum has stated that she Is not a law ful heir for the reason that her mother was not legally married to his brother, J. W. NIckum, not having been legally separated from a former husband at the time of the union. The court records, it is alleged, show that the divorce decree was entered in 1SS1 and that the marriage occurred In 1SS5, consequently Its validity Is Indisputable. The petitioner is the wife of W. F. Feller, to whom she was mar ried on September 3, 1903. COUNTY DENIES LIABILITY. Bridge Accident Sold to Be Caused by Careless Spectators. The position of Multnomah County in relation to the Morrison street' bridge ac cident Is defined In the answer to the dam age suit of Mario Llndhard, filed in the State Circuit Court yesterday. The county denies all liability and recites In Its an swer that the injuries sustained By Mra. Llndhard were the result of her own negligence. It Is alleged that on the day of the accident there was a public ex hibition of swimming in the Willamette River near the bridge, and a great many persons congregated on the bridge as spec tators, thereby overwelgnting it ana sud- jectlng the structure to unusual and ex traordinary strain, whlcn it was not designated or intended to sustain. The people. It Is averred, did tnls with. full knowledge that the bridge was liable break down with overcrowding, and Mrs. Llndhard is alleged to have taken a position on the bridge with the other onlookers and was not, when the timbers gave way, making use of the bridge In the usual manner of traveling across it.

Cabinet Crisis in Queensland. BRISBANE, Queensland, Sept 9. The government of Queensland has decided to resign owing to a slim majority which it received on its taxation proposals. CHETCO AND HARBOR . Indications Point to the Termini of Two Railroads Being Located at the Mouth of Chetco River. CHETCO, Aug. 30. (Special Correspond- , ence.) This part of- Oregon is just feel ing the quickening influence of a pros pective boom. Chetco River empties Into the Pacific ocean about four miles north of the Oregon and California state line. Chetco Bay Is a large, open roadstead. which Is sheltered from the north winds similar to Crescent Harbor and Port Orford. Just beyond the rocky point of land which forms the headland Is a cove, between this point and Grand Island, and this forms a shelter from the southerly winds. This is called Cable Cove, there being a steel cable reaching from the headland to Grand Island, steamers and schooners being loaded from It. Thus there are really two harbors at Chetco. In addition, the Chetco River, flowing Into the ocean, is navigable for small vessels some distance inside the bar. Prospective Railroads. It takes time to do anything worth doing, and to build railroads through mountains and along steep banks of creeks and Tlvers is no child's play. But from the neighborhood of Crescent City to Chetco, a distance of about 30 miles, there are no engineering difficulties for railroad construction, and yet a surveying party, fully equipped, and which did all the work for construction of a railroad, has gone over the route within the past month and carried the survey, grade stakes and all as far as Chetco, and there stopped. It is not known who Is paying for this survey. Some say it Is the Santa, Fe Railroad, which is to be built up the .coast. Others say it Is Colonel Draper's Road from Grant's Pass, which is to branch off to Chetco so as to have a convenient shipping point. Others say it is the Southern Pacific Railroad, and that all the railroad movement along the coast Is backed by Southern Pacific money. A surveying party has been at work from Eureka north towards Cres cent City and Is locating a railroad to tap the great redwood belt of Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, and it is this same road which is to be continued to Chetco. In addition to this very significant movement of some railroad Company to make Chetco a terminus Is the fact that the owners of the copper mines on pla mond Creek, located just on the state line, commonly known as Colonel Crawford's Mine, have long desired to get an outlet for their ore, a location for' a smelter, etc, and when representatives of this company bonded from John L. Chllds his townslte of Cable and the apparatus for loading vessels for $15,000, and have al ready made a partial payment, it be gins to look like this company in tends to build a railroad down to the ocean from Its mines, the dis tance being about 2S miles, and there will locate smelters and ship the "matte." "matte." With' the construction of a coast railroad they will have choice of transportation by rail or water. Nothing has ever been done 'by the general Gov ernment towards improving Chetco Har bor, but, with an Increase of population in that part of Curry County and of busi ness, no doubt appropriations could be secured for making some needed" Improve ments. A Splendid Tovrnslte. Whether on the north or the south-side j of Chetco River, there is the site for a TUG FOR THE SIUSLAW TRIAL TRIP OF THE L. ROSCOE WKOVES A SUCCESS. Salmon Ship Sargent Arrives in Port Steamboats Do Bigr Busi ness at Cut Rates! The new tug L. Roscoe was inspected yesterday morning by local United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller, and later had her trial trip on the river. A two hours run was made down-stream and back, and it proved the tug to be fast and easily handled. The engines worked to the satisfaction of all concerned. The hull of the Rosco'e was built on Gray's Harbor and was towed around here to receive the machinery, which was made by the Willamette Iron Works. The tug Is 90 feet long. 22 feet beam and 9 feet deep. Her gross tonnage is 117, and her net tonnage 73. The Roscoe will do serv ice on -Sluslaw Bay, for which place she sails this evening. ASSISTANT BOAT INSPECTORS. Lord and Hall Appointed to the Seattle Offlce. SEATTLE, Sept. 9. Harry C. Lord and Captain A. L. Hall were today designated by George Uhler, Supervising Inspector General of the Steamboat inspection serv ice, as assistants, respectively of boilers and hulls, to Captains George A. Turner and B. B. Whitney, constituting the local United States Inspection Board of hulls and boilers. The appointments were made under the civil service. Lord ' has been long In the lighthouse service and Hall port warden of the Pacific Packing & Nav igation Company. AGROUND ON MIDWAY ISLAND. Steamer Believed to Be tlte Excelsior Is In Trouble. VANCOUVER, B. C, Sept. 9.-Tho steamer Amur, from Skagway this morn ing, reports that while passing through town of ample proportions and in a state of nature ready to be built upon and made into blocks and streets. The land slopes back gently from the ocean for from half to three-quarters of a mile and Is clear of any obstructing timber, excepting In a few places. The railroad survey runs along quite close to the ocean, and from this track to the rapidly rising ground of the hills could be several streets, and run ning north and south for eight or ten miles. There Is no scarcity of room for building at Chetco. There Are Three Names. Chetco Is the postofflce, where F. H. Blake has a merchandise store, and that is all. It Is two miles or more south of Chetco River. Harbor Is the collection of houses at the mouth of Chetco River and is really what Is generally understood as Chetco. Then Cable Is a townslte and shipping point, at Cable Cove (or on the maps as Maclln's Cove), and Is about a mile west of the mouth or Chetco River. The present population of all of Chetco settlement Is not more than 150. This is a case where the person of speculative tendencies can get In on the "ground floor" in buying land and also of going into business. Harbor has a hotel, saloon and blacksmith shop, but no merchandise store. There Is not a barber shop in all of Curry County. , Lives Like Robinson Crusoe. Just beyond the headland of Chetco Harbor, and across Cable Cove, Is Grand Island. This is a flat-topped rock of pre cipitous sides, containing of level land about 30 acres. On this Island Fred Swag has his home. Fourteen years ago he laboriously climbed the rugged cliffs and found that of the 30 acres of level land on top about six was excellent soil. So he built a ladder, or sort of stairs, so that he could climb up, and to reach his present domicile he, must climb up. over 100 feet. When the tide Is in Grand Island is separated from the mainland by at least 300 feet of water, but at low tide there is a sand spit extends between the Island and shore. Mr. Swag has erect ed a tall board fence around the six acres and has a comfortable house, and keeps chickens and every year his garden Is the very best. He draws a pension from the Government and on that he lives all by himself. Sometimes, during the stormy winter weather, he Is Isolated for weeks at a time. He has no water on the Island, but there Is a nice large spring on the bank opposite, and by means of a wire cable he draws the water up to his house, bucketful at a time. Fishing: and. Hunting;. Off the rocks in Chetco Bay are caught many varieties of sea fish. I am told there, is a superior fishing ground there, and the business of catching the sea fish could be taade profitable. In Chetco River are salmon, and higher up fine trout. In the mountains here are deer and bear, Jots of them. It costs a Californian $10 a year- license to hunt in Oregon, but residents of the state can hunt free. There are laws in Oregon against killing deer, excepting during part of July, August and September, but It is not strictly observed. As one hunter said to me, "When it is In season we call it 'venison,' and out of season we call it 'mutton,' but it is all the same meat" E. C. PENTLAND. Wrangle Narrows, on Sunday night a steamer was seen aground on Midway Island, north of Wrangle. The steamer had a tug beside her. All the passengers were ashore, and from her position the Amur people believed she had a hole in her bottom. The stranded steamer did not signal, and so the Amur did not go to her aid. At Ketchikan, the Amur skip per was told that the latest steamer pass ing north had been he Excelsior, bound for Valdez, with" 50 passengers. The Ex celsior had called at Ketchikan Saturday, so the Amur concluded that she was the steamer which had run aground. GOUNOD HEADED FOR PORTLAND. Has Tea Days From San Francisco to Save Her Charter.

Spencer did not reach, her dock until 6:15 P. M. She had 150 passengers and a big load of through and way freight, which caused the delay In her arrival. Salmon Ship Arrives. The salmon ship C. F.

A. City Official of Lynn, Mam., Tells HOW lie vas lurcu uj ui, v ixi- iams' Fink Pills. There is scarcely a city or village from the Atlantic to the Pacific which has not its quota of rheumatic cripples. That much of their suffering and lnconr venlence Is unnecessary is proven by the fact that a specific has been found for rheumatism in all its forms, a rem edy that has cured extremely stubborn cases. The statement of a recent cure should give encouragement to the most hopeless sufferer. Charles F. Jordan, of No. 7 New Chatham street, Lynn, Mass., inspector o sewer construction In that city for many years, was for a long time afflict? ed with Inflammatory rheumatism in his feet, ''which made him unable to walk. "It is hardly necessary to say that my condition was extremely painful' he says. "The rheumatism settled in the joints and made rive helpless so far as walking was concerned. The skin became very tender and sore, and I suffered agonies every time I had an attack. "My sister-in-law advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple, and I took them with the best re sults. They also had a beneficial effect upon my general health. I might add that my daughter-in-law Is taking this remedy for paralysis of the face, and finds that the pills are helping her greatly." Rheumatism has been treated in widely different ways, even In quite re cent times, and ignorant superstition has furnished many so-called "charms" to ward off the disease. Most neoDle now know that to cure rheumatism it must be treated through the blood, and to prevent the disease the blood must be kept pure. External applications, such as oils and liniments, while they may relieve and soothe the pain, have no more power to permanently cure rheu matism than a horse chestnut carried In the pocket has to prevent It. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple have a powerful effect In combat ing the poisons In the blood, whfch cause rheumatism. This is the secret of the miraculous success of these pills in curing many severe disorders of- the blood and nerves which do not yield to ordinary medicines. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People may be obtained at all druggists, or direct from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenec tady, N. Y., fifty cents per box; six boxes for two dollars and fifty cents. GOOD H9 KEEPING Good Housekeeping is a " homey " magazine original, bright and full of good cheer.
