HER STEP-SON SUSPECTED Tliirteen-Year-Old Boy Says He Heard the Klfle Report and the Sound of Running Footsteps. WARREN. Or.. Dee. 25. (Special.) Mystery surrounds the atrocious murder of Mrs. Sarah Ayers on the little Ayers farm a half mile south of this place, to night. Mrs. Ayers. In the absence of her husband. C. L. Ayers. was shot through the head by a 40-60 rifle. The wound was one to cau.se Instant death. The murder occurred Just before 7:30, when the report of the rifle was heard by neighbors. In the house with the woman was her 13-year-old adopted son, Bert Holman. Shortly after the shooting he npppeared at the home of Lou Davies, a neighbor, and reported the matter. He then went to the B. H. Lynch place and (rave a similar report. The boy at midnight is being held by the authorities for further examination concerning his knowledge of the affair. His conduct throughout has been un usual and the circumstances of the mur der are such as to direct suspicion in his direction. While the boy may be entirely Innocent, the impression prevails at this time that he- knows considerably more about the killing than he has yet re vealed. Young Holman says he does not know who killed Mrs. Ayers. He tells the same story over and over without variation and without any evidences of feeling or excitement. He says he was on the point of retiring lor the night when the shot was fired. He had left Mrs. Ayers In the kitchen sewing. As he was un lacing Iila shoes lie heard the shot, and went down stairs to find Mrs. Ayers dy ing. He heard no one speak, but thought ho heard some one running near the barn. Aironer H. R. Cliff. Sheriff Martin White and Deputy District Attorney W. H. Powell, of Columbia County, went at once to the scene from St. Helens to In vestigate. They found the body lying in the kitchen. Needlework lying on the floor beside her, carried out the boy's Mory that she had been sewing at the time. An examination or the premises re vealed that all doors were locked ex cepting the kitchen. The gun from which the fatal shot had been fired lay on the floor and was recognized as belonging to I . the family. An examination of the prem ises near the barn, where young Holman says he heard some one running, devel oped no signs of footprints. As an outcome of these developments young Holman was brought to town and will be held pending further develop ments. He remains cool and uncon cerned. The husband Is out in- the mountains for a few days and word of the tragedy w-Ill .be conveyed to him . tomorrow. An Inquest will also be held In the morning. Coroner Cliff and the other officials are returning to the scene at midnight to make closer inquiry. Special Term for Budge Case. BOISE. Idaho. Dec. 28. (Special.) Judge Alfred Budge, of the Fifth dis trict, was in the city today. It Is he aalnst whom the proceedings have been brought in the District Court at Pocatello, for the purpose of having him declared ineligible because of be ing a member of the Mormon Church. Asked , when he thought the case would come on for hearing, the Judge said the law required that such a case be heard within 30 days if court were in session, otherwise on the first day of the next term. The next term at Pocatello, he said, would not begin until March 4, but he thought it likely a special term would be called to hear ami dispose of this case. He would not come to a final decision on that point, however, until he had consulted his nttorneys, as he wished to be guided by them in the matter. Judge Budge said he had not settled upon the judge to be called in to hear the case, but he thought it altogether probable It would be Judge Stevens, of the Sixth district, he being the near est.

CUPID DUGDALE'S CHANCE Northwestern League Promoters Pre dict Disruption of Coast Combina tion, but Ewing Says There Is . No Danger of Contingency. SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 28. (Special.) Runs Hall, manager and owner of the Seattle team in the Paciflo Coast League, with B. E. Qulnn, manager of the Spo kane club in the Northwestern League, are on their way to Butte, Mont., where the two will meet with the owners of the Butte franchise, and present indications are that this conference will ultimately result in the withdrawal of Seattle from the Pacific Coast League to Join the Northwestern. By the present arrangement Hall will "be tendered complete control of the Butte franchise and a comfortable bonus to start the season of J907 in the Northwest ern League. The Butte people have but one, concern, to get Seattle back into the Pacific Coast League. By taking care of Hall they are removing the last obstacle in the way of the Northwestern League Btepplng to the front and demanding that the Coast League show what it Intends to do with the Seattle franchise. The plan of those who have been engi neering this move io to throw Seattle open to "Cupid" Dugdale, who, with W. H. Lucas, was the organizer of the most successful circuit ever known in the Pa ciflo Northwest. Dugdale has refused overtures from the Coast League and Is with Eddie Qulnn in this project for a new Northwestern League. Since Seattle patrons have refused Hall backing, it Is predicted that there will be Bo effort on the part of the California towna and Portland, the remaining points in the Coast League circuit, to raise the money among themselves to hold the Se attle franchise for the Coast League. If the Coast League abandons Seattle, it will probaby be Portland's only alter native to withdraw from the Coast League and also come in with Hall and Dugdale in a new Northwestern circuit.

ENGINEERS SENT SOUTH J. C. Barton, Formerly With Union Pacific, Says Rival Line Is Sur veying Competing Route to North-Bank Extension. TACOMA. Dec. 2S. (Special.) The with drawal of Union Pacific engineers from the Puget Sound extension Is partly due to the fight waged along the north bank of the Columbia from Vancouver to the sea and partly due to the fact that the surveys between Tacoma and Kelso are virtually completed. Plana for an en trance to Tacoma were gent East more than three weeks ago. Engineer Pope, who has now resigned from the Union Pacific to enter the service of the North Coast, was called to a conference In Chi cago December 14 to discuss those plans. The entire fight is transferred now to. the proposed line from Vancouver along the north bank to the sea and north to Aberdeen. This will he an extension of the north-bank line Hill Is now building from Kennewlck; to Vancouver. It has been denied that this extension Is pro posed, but J. C. Barton, formerly of the Union Pacific. Is now surveying the route for the Northern Pacific and Great North ern. Barton is authority for the statement that Union Pacific engineers have lately been sent into the district to combat his locations and to survey a competing route for the Harriman system. The matter of route there depends to some extent on first locations. Just as It did along the upper bank of the Columbia. The foregoing dispatch Indicates that the bitter fight that has been waged along the north bank of the Columbia between Vancouver and" Kennewlck will be repeated between Vancouver and the sea. Surveyors and right-of-way agents acting for both the Hill and Harriman Interests have been busy for some time in the territory bordering the river west of Vancouver In making surveys and snapping up rights-of-way. It is supposed that these agents have not been Idle and have had an eye to securing the best points for favorable railway building. Both systems seek the most advan tageous routes as a matter of course and representatives of each are understood to be making efforts to secure strategic points. Senator Rands, of Clark County.

On account of the protests of citizens who reside in the neighborhood, the Portland Rock Company has abandoned Its plant to operate a quarry at Fourth and Grover streets and will open another quarry about a quarter of a mile up the gulch. Councllmen Vaughn. Kellaher and Annand, of the street committee, yester day visited the site of the new "quarry and it is probable that the company will be granted a permit to do blasting there. Even this does not satisfy the property owners, however, and they protest against blasting being allowed anywhere in that vicinity. If the quarry is opened one of the largest rock crushers on the Pacific Coast will be installed. When the Councllmen visited the quarry yesterday the residents thought that an other experimental blast was to be fired, as was done several weeks ago, and in a body they sought out the Councllmen and begged them to stop it. When told that blasts would not be fired their fears were quieted, and they began to argue againat the opening of any quarry in the neighborhood. AT THE HOTELS. The Portland W. R. Nichols. Tacoma: H.
