substance of a message on a

local saloon today. Davis is
not known here. John Lock-
man, a boy of about 17 years,
ran away from Marcus, Wash-
lngton, a few weeks ago. and It
is not known where ho went.
Tho police are inclined to be-
lievo tho card tells tho truth.

Tho above dispatch, innocent
enough in appearance and supposedly
of little interest to the general read
er other than as a simple statement
of an obscure tragedy, brought to a
Marshfield homo yesterday morning
a sorrow and uncertainty which
is wellnlgh heartbreaking to the par
ents of tho boy to whom the dispatch
is thought to refer, and brings to
us at homo, one of tho most distress
ing and sorrowful tragedies of local
color, i
Mr. and Mrs. John Lockman ar
rived on Coos Bay about the first of
family of three boys, the eldest of
whom was John, Jr., fourteen year3
of age, a well developed boy, a pride
to his parents, and of the very best
habits. He was an industrious boy
and loved his home as few boys do.
Ho was an omnivorous reader and
had .the best of literature always at
hand, and he spent a great part of
his idle time In gathering Informa
tion which ho expected to apply In
the future In perfecting his higher
education. He was a boy whom
everybody looked upon as a model
and the neighbors spoke of him as
unusually bright and careful of his
home associations. .
The family came here from Mar
cus, Washington, where Mr. Lock
man had been engaged with the
Spokane Falls & Northern railroad as
conductor. Mr. and Mrs. Lockman
decided to come to Coos Bay and
cast their lots with this new and pro
gressive country and with the
thought in mind to find improved
school facilities for their family
which would soon be ready for high
school work. The boy, John, had
i been Industrious In school and had
progressed well, being far advanced
for his age. He had attended the
public schools at Marcus and after
the family arrived in Marshfield, he
was often referring to the old home
and quite frequently spoke of being
homesick for tho old associations
And there was a little friend, Edith
Speck, a schoolmate and sweetheart,
whom ho could not forget and whom
"vho longed to see.
In July, John went to the country
to work for Judge Watson on Isth
mus Inlet, and was attentive to his
work and made a good Impression
with tho Watson family. About tho
mlddlq of the month he left Watson's
and said he was going to Sumner,
and perhaps to tho Brewster valley.
It was two weeks before his parents
learned that he had left his work,
and the next word they had was that
he was In Marcus, the former home.
Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Clute, of that
place, friends of tho family, were
communicated with and arrange
ments were made for Mr. and Mrs.
Clute to bring the boy to Coos Bay
with them In August when they were
coming to visit Mr. and Mrs. Lock
man. The boy seemingly acquiesced
n the arrangement and kept at his
work until tho day for starting, when
lie disappeared entirely and the
friends could got no trace of him.
They accordingly came on without
him and at that time a systematic
search for John's whereabouts was
instituted by the Lockmans. The
boy disappeared from Marcus about
tho 19th of August. He had arrived
In Mnrcus on or about the 8th of the
month and Immediately found work
and was busy for the entire time he
was In the town.
Every chief of police in the big cit
ies of tho Northwest was asked to
look for tho missing bov and Port
land, Tacoma, Seattle, Snokane and
smaller towns were searched for
some tidings of him. But no word
was received from the authorities
which would aid In tracing tho boy's
wanderings. He had seemingly
dropped out of sight. Hl3 parents
thought perhaps ho had gono east to
Iowa, where they have relatives, and
they were at a loss to understand
why he did not write home.
On the 19th of September, Mrs.
Lockman received a letter from him
dated from Spokane, but he did not
say anything about what his Inten
tions were with regard to returning
home. The next they heard about
him was from a brother of Mrs.
Lockman, J. B. Seaman, of Butte,
who wrote that the boy had been
there and had gone away, but where,
Mr. Seaman could not say. Mrs.
Lockman says she believes her
brother provided him with clothes
and money, since when he was after
wards heard from he was well sup
plied with clothes and money. The
next they heard of him was from Mr.
T. D. Lockman, a brother of Mr.
Lockman, and a business man of Mis
soula, Montana. He wrote that the
boy had been there for three days
and then disappeared. During his
stay with his Missoula relatives, the
family tried to persude him to go
home and offered to give him money
to make the trip. The undo believes
he became suspicious that they would
try to take him home by force, and
so went away before they could
make the attempt.
That was the last the parents have
heard of him untlMhe dispatch
printed in yesterday's Timeslcame to
the notice of Mrs. Lockman'as she
was sitting down to breakfast.
Mrs. Lockman was seen at her
homo yesterday just across the West
Marshfield bridge and told the story
of the boy's wanderings substantially
as related. It was Indeed a trying
day for the mother whose heart was
about breaking, and during the con
versation it was learned that . the
home surroundings and associations
for the son wore all that could be
wished for. Mrs. Lockman said the
boy wrote home from Snokane a let-
!ter which was full of filial love and
ine exnressed regret that he had
caused bis parents uneasiness by his
unusuel action of leaving home with
out giving thorn word. Mrs. Lock
man is a woman of refinement and
though p.he was grief.-stricken, she
talked the matter over as calmly as
a mother could who believed her son
was lying in some out qf the way
place, murdered by a villain who
took his life for a few paltry dollars.
In speaking of tho tragedy, she said
she would a thousand times the boy
had been murdered than that such a
crime should have been chareed to
him. Sho had full confidence in hen
boy and knew his every little secret.)
It was suggested to her that per
haps the dispatch might refer to
some other John Lockman, but
though she agreed there mieht be va
possibility, it held out but little hope,
for the circumstances seemed too
plain to offer any other belief than
that tho murdered J6hn Lockman
was her son.
Upon being Informed of the con
tents of the dispatch, Mr. Lockman
immediately telegraphed to Wenat
chee, Washington, the place where
the murder Is supposed to Have taken
place, for information, but up to a
late hour last night no reply had ar
rived. The peculiar means by which the
note was made public leaves quite a
sphere for speculation, since there Is
no other Information at hand as to
the identity of William Albert Davis.
Mr. and Mrs. Lockman lived at St.
Anthony Falls at one time, and
knew of there being several men
there of the name of Davis, but can
not place the man w.ho has owned to
having murdered John Lockman.
The part of the dispatch referring to
John Lockman as a boy who ran
away from Marcus and giving his
age, was evidently .supplied by" the
chief of police at Spokane, to whom
the note was likely submitted. This
chief had searched diligently for
the boy and was familiar with the
circumstances of his disappearance
and could easily have given the press
correspondent the additional Infor
mation. He wrote a kindly letter to
the Lockmans and said he had done
all that he could to find the boy.
There has been no dispatch published
In any of the papers telling of a mur
der having been committed In We
natchee and It Is presumed that If
the statement of the man who seems
to have been conscience stricken Is
true, he enticed the boy Into some se
cluded spot and there murdered him,
and the cornse has not yet been dis
covered. Since no word has been re
ceived from Wenatchee, it Is taken
for granted that tho officials there
have taken up the matter and are
making a thorough search of tho sur
roundings for the body. It seems
rather strange, though, that they
would not send back some word say
ing that nothing was known of the
matter, or that they had started an
Investigation. One day would seem
sufficient time for a telegram to be
sent to a neighboring state and an
answer obtained.
There Is a possibility that the note
was a hoax, yet It Is fraught with so
much significance to Mr. and Mrs.
Lockman that they cannot believe It
could have been written by Davis un
less he was really gulltyas he savs.
And the matter Is also suggested
that tho Spokane authorities must bo
busv In an nttemnt to learn ,1ust who
William Albert Davis Is and where
he can be found. It Is probable,
when one considers the remorse
which Davis savs Is tearing his con
science, that he left tho note ns a
farewell exnlanatlon of tho boy's
death and thon killed himself to es
eano the arousing anguish of mind
which constantly pursued him.
The Lockmans are well connected
end have manv Influential friends In
the central states. Mr. Lockman is
a nephew of the deceased Governor
Drake of Iowa, who served the state
so well In the 90r. It was In Iowa
where Mrs. Lockman had thought
tlrtlnes of the boy might be flnallv
obtained, for the grandparents
hnrl :
mnde much of him and promised to'cellent in quality and show that tho
aid him in his ambition towards so-
curing an education which would fit
him for a medical practitioner,

Thcso are the receipts .of the Detroit-Chicago championship scries:
The players' share Is divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40
per cent to the losers. Tn National Commission, tirevlous to the ser
ies, nanuetl 23 men as eligible tc partake in the series for Chicago, and
19 for Detroit, so each of the members of the Chicago team will re
ceive $1508. SO and each cno oi the Detroit team $1182.28.
The receipts tho fim day of the series were the largest ever taken
in at a ball game, but the total receipts of the series falls $4000 short
of the money taken in when the White Sox and the Cubs battled alter
nately on the South and West sides of Chicago.
Nothing would be more natural, un
der the circumstances, than that the
boy should eventually wind up there,
but the dispatch of yesterday morn
ing dashed that hope.
Another day should bring some
word from the chief of police at Spo
kane, and also the officials at We
natchee. In the meantime, sympa
thetic friends will trust the note was
a hoax or that the Identity of the
mifrdered person is mixed.
TO ASK FOR FOUR
BIG BATTLESHIPS
Navy
Department Said To
Hearty Support of the
President.
Have
Washington, Oct. 16. It seems
pretty certain that the navy depart
ment will' ask congress to make pro
visions for four new battle-ships, and
that the president approves of the
program. It Is also believed that
the new ships will exceed any yet
planned by the United States navy
or 'any other navy. Whether they
wln ue f the 25,000-ton class can
not, of course, be predicted, but
thero will be advocates for maxi
mum size, and the president Is likely
to be one of them.
Probably no cruisers will bo pro
vided for, but the plans of the naval
general board will Include destroy
ers, which are favored In preference
to torpedo boats. Possibly pro
vision may be made to build on or
more of these boats In government
yards, and efforts will be made to
have four new torpedo planters,
asked for by the army, as well as
colliers and other auxiliary ships,
constructed In the government yards,
to keep busy men who otherwise
would suffer Idleness by reason of
the departure of the battle-ships.
The navy department Is trying to
provide tho labor which will be
needed In the Mare Island and Puget
Sound yards when the fleet gets to
the coast. One suggestion is to
offer inducements to eastern labor
ers to go to the Pacific coast by pro
viding transportation for workmen
and possibly for members of their
families on condition that those who
accept the offer shall remain In the
government service for a definite
period. It also seems likely that
this provision of free transportation
will bo coupled with a guarantee of
higher wages than are Paid In the
east, and even higher than are at
present paid on the coast, In order
that tho men may not bo induced
to leave the government employ for
better pay outside.
Fined for Illegal Fishing.
John E. Fitzgerald, a farmer who
lives on the north fork ,of the Coos
river, was arrested' by Fish Warden
Wilson, who has been here for some
time looking for infractions of
the fishing laws, and taken before
Jusltce Pennock yesterday. Mr. Fitz
gerald was accused of fishing above
the forks of the river with a net,
and when confronted with tho evi
dence pleaded guilty. Justice Pen
nock fined him $50 and costs of the
suit.
Will Rnco nt Prineville.
Frank Denning received a letter
yesterday from Cell Ireland, who is
at Prineville. Mr. Ireland says tho
nights there are cold and frosty and
he Is thinking of soon hiking back to
Coos Bay where frosts are uncom
mon. John Herron Is at Prineville
with his string of race horses and
will start them in the races to bo
brought off next week.
WANT TROOPS TO
HARVEST GRAPES
Paris, Oct. 16. Owing to the
continued bad weather there is a
dearth of laborers In tho champagne
districts. Tho mayors of many other
places have requested that tho min
ister of war send troops to assist in
tho harvesting of grapes. It Is fear
ed that half of tho crop may bo lost
unless Immediately garnered.
Rains in tho south are expected,
which will cause an Increaso in tho
price of wines generally. High-class
Bordeaux are likely to be under tho
average and much below tho quality
of Haut Brlon, 1875, a bottle of
which gourmots considered cheap at
120 francs ($24).
Bench Land Potatoes.
C. II. Lax, who lives at Golden
Falls, left some excellent samples of
potatoes at tho Chamber of Com-
merco yesterday. Tho anuds are ox-
bench lands will produce vegetables
as well as fruit. The elevation where

WILL PROSECUTE
OFFICER C0N0R0N
D. M. AVilklns, Whose Head Is Still
Sure, to Bring Suit in
Local Court.
S
Officer Walter Condron is surely
making a record with his club. Seven
eye witnesses say that he set upon
D. M. Wilkins Sunday morning while
Mr. Wilkins was seated at the coun
ter of the Palace restaurant waiting
for an order to bo served. These
witnesses declare that Mr. Wilkins
was both peaceable, orderly and re
spectful and that there was no prov
ocation for the action of the night
Officer who hit Mr. Wilkins with his
club over the head and left an ugly
wound thero causing it to bleed pro
fusely. It Is known that napers are
being prepared to compel Condron to
answer to a charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon.
The same officer also used his billy
on the person of William Creason,
the well known porter of the Blanco,
better known ' as "Buckshot" some
days ago In a manner which wit
nesses thought entirely out of place.
Last evening a good deal of exclte
mentiwns caused by the action of tho
night officer in making another at
tack with his billy on Wm. Smith of
Coos River, whom he belabored over
the head and took to the lockup.
Bystanders claim that Mr. Smith was
In nowise to blame but was both or
derly nnd sober. Many expressions
of Indignation were heard on al'
sides and it Is said that a determined
effort will be made to find out l"
whose authority a man of so little
discretion of this officer appears to
have is retained on tho police force.
LANE GROWERS FORM UNION
Unite To Establish Reputation
Fruit of tho County.
of
Eugene, Or., Oct. 16. Yesterday
a large number of the fruit and
berry growers of Lane coounty met
at the courthouse and decided un
animously to form a permanent
fruit growers' union. A committee
consisting of George Dorris, Dr. H.
F. McCornack, B. Chase, M. H. Har
low and Mr. Holt was appointed for
the purpose of preparing articles of
Incorporation and a constitution and
bylaws to be considered by a meet
ing of fruit growers to be held at
the courthouse next Saturday.
It Is known that Lane county
can, and does, produce as fine fruit
and berries as any locality in Ore
gon. That this fruit has not re
ceived its proper degree of recog
nition is not to bo wondered at
when the methods heretofore used
in disposing of it are considered.
With this strong organization to in
sist on the proper packing of only
perfect fruit, the growers feel that
the reputation of Lane county fruit
will soon be established.

MAN DISAPPEARS
VERY MYSTERIOUSLY
Andrew Maglilnc Searching for Com
panion Who Has Been Miss
ing Since Monday.
Andrew Maglne and John Lang
weber, who had been employed In Joe
Cody's lumbering camp on the Co
qullle, left tho camp last week and
came to Marshfield on Wednesday,
expecting to stay on this side nnd se
cure work somewhere near Marsh
field. They had arranged to work In
a coal mine that will soon be ready
for operation, but were obliged to
wait until the time arrived for the
opening, and were consequently
spending tho Interim In this city.
Maghlne had saved his money and
Lapgu'eber had quit work with only
a small amount duo him which same
was Boon used up. Last Monday, the
two were together in the afternoon
and Maghlne said It was time to dine,
but Langwober said he was not feel
ing very well and did not care to
eat at that time. Maghlne accord
ingly parted company with him, say
ing they would meet after ho had
lunched. That was the last timo he
saw Lnngweber, though he has
searched In every place likely to pro
duce any Information about his
whereabouts. 11 Information bu
reaus have boon questioned, all the
contractors have been asked If they
have employed a man answering
Langweber's description, but no trace
of tho missing man can be found.
The missing man Is a German,
about five feet tall and heavily built.
He has a light mustache and is about
35 years old. Mr. Mnghlne seems
greatly disturbed about his disap
pearance, and cannot decldo what to
think of his absence. Ho said to a
Times' representative that it is his
belief that tho waters of tho bay will
nrobably tell tho tale when the facts
become known.
Ho cannot make anything out of
the mystery, since they were friends,
ana ne is certain the missing man
would have told him abopt any Inten
tion of going to work, or of leaving
the country. Langweber has a suit
case with too or three good suits of
clothes at the depot, besides a roll
of blankets nnd othor personal prop
ertv. Innuiry at the depot threw no
llelit on tho mysterv, as ho had not
called for tho articles nor did the
agpnt know anything of tho man.
Lancweber was a man of cheerful
disposition and was never known to
brood over anvthlng, and Mr. Ma
chine cannot fully reconcile himself
into bellevlrg ho has mndo way with
himself. It is stated by Maghlne
thnt tii era were no drunken carousals
or dissipations indulged bv them
since they en me to Marshfield, .and Bo
his dlsapnearance could not be
charged to romorso of conscience.
On the other hand, no one could have
anv motive for robbing him and per
haps killing him in the attempt, since
he was practically without funds.
Taken all In all, the disappearance Is
very puzzling to Maghlne.
SPREE IS FATAL
TO A BOY OF 15
Charles Kiusel Dies After Debauch
in Which Other Minors
Took Part.
Oregon City, Or., Oct. 16. Thir
teen men, all minors, were principals
In a disgraceful escapade at Canby
Saturday night, as a result, one of
their number, Charles Klnsel, Is
dead. Tho others are witnesses In
the Inquest which Is being held to
day. Klnsel was only 15 years of
age, and with his companions started
out from Canby Saturday night,
bound for tho C. C. Clausen farm
some distance from town, to chari
vari a wedding party. They drank
heavily before they started and be
fore thoy had gono far Klnsel fell In
the road and was loft there, the
other members of tho party going to
tho Clausen's. Returning about an
hour later, they found Klnsel where
they had left him, and not wishing
to take him homo drunk, carried
him into tho barn on the Hampton
place, near the edge of the town.
Fred Hampton was among the party,
and early yesterday morning he went
to tho barn to see If Klnsel was still
there. He found him dead, lying
face downward on a pile of hay in
the loft. Ho rode at once to Canby,
where ho reported the matter to Dr.
Dedman. who wired Coroner Holman.
Tho body was brought to Oregon
City. Last night Dr. Sommer and
Dr. Dedman mado a post mortem ex
amination of the body and found the
direct cause of Klnsel's death was
suffocation.
If the report that tho liquor came
from somo of tho Canby saloons Is
substantiated, charges will bo
brought against the saloonmen who
may have been Indirectly responsible
for tho death of Klnsel.

SIX HUNDRED ARE INJURED
Sun-Ivor Explains Cause of Frightful
Explosion Had Cooled Shaft
with Water.
Fontanet, Oct. 16. Latest esti
mates of tho destruction wrought by
the explosion at the Dupool powder
mills yesterday Is 38 persons dead,
600 Injured, 50 seriously, and prop
erty loss $750,000, caused by a work
man employed In .the glazing mill.
It was learned that a "hot box" due
to too much friction on the shafting,
causing sparks to bo transmitted to
loose powder, was In all probability
duo tho terrlblo catastrophe. An.
employe whose namo is William
Sparrow, and who Is dangerously In
jured as a result of the explosion,
said: "Tho explosion was caused by
a loose boxing on the shafting. The
day before the explosion happened,
we had to throw water on tho box
ing when it sparked and became hot.
Tills time It got too hot and sent off
sparks that caused tho explosion."
Anothor company of militia arrived
from Indianapolis this evening.

spite Deuia.I
the
Sacramento, Oct. 16. Division.
Superintendent Burkhaltor, whon.
asked In regard to tho report that
tho working forco of the local South
ern Pacific shops was to bo reduced
10 per cent, said.
"All that I know about It Is what
I read in tho newnpapors." He ad
ded that traffic was. on tho decrease
at this time of tho year, and this
results usually In tho reduction ot
the working force, though no special
order to that effect has been re
ceived or Is expected. From 2300
to 3000 are employed In the .local
shops, and they are necessary to
keep the rolling stock In repair.
Regardless of the statement of
Superintendent Burkhalter, between
1C0 and 200 men were laid ofT at
tho local shops this evening, and It
Is generally understood that the
order for tho reduction came from
the east. Tho cut Is a general topic
of conversation among shop-men to
night, but It Is understood thnt their
foreman does not know tho source
of tho order.
