The rain storm of Monday after noon did a great deal of good over the entire valley and is worth thou sands of dollars to the fruitgrowers and farmers. The slight fall of hail which cume with it did no damage whatever, as tho fruit is still small The hail in no section of the valley was hard enough to beat leaves off of the trees. All sections of the valley report a precipitation of from one-half inch to an inch. Tho electrical storm was heavier near Gold Hay than in any other section.

DKXVHR, Colo., May 10. - The hand that strangled to death Mrs. Wilson in her palatial home here carved on hor forehead the Greek lottor "Delta." The police, today arc admittedly at a loss to understand tho motivo for tho murder and for tho Htrnngo symbol cut into the vie tint's flesh. The body of Mrs. Wilson, a wealthy and comely woman, was found thrust into n packing box in the basement of her new home in the fashionable Capitol Hill district. Sim had linen strangled to death with a cloth that had been twisted about tho throat. Tho body was found by hor husband and by Mrs. Mabel Onlland, a daughter by a for mer husband. When the body was brought into tho light, Die mystic symbol was no ticed. The "delta" had been cut in the exact center of the forehead. On each side of the linos of the tri angle the skin had been cut in I wo strips, bringing the symbol into hold relief. The corners of the delta's base touched the temples, while the apex reached to the hair lino at the top of the forehead. The police are seeking u Japanese Rorviint, who, according to neighbors. aviis helping Mrs. Wilson clean house last Saturday, on tho day she was last seen alive.

SISKIYOU CLUB I The administration railroad regula tion bill was today reported from tho houso as n committee of the , whole for final vote. This marks tho beginning of the end of the fight Jon the measure in the house. It is likely that the vcrv few changes will be made in tho form of J the bill ns reported today and that it will likely ho passed. Only tho scarred and battered wreck of the measure as it wont to the house was left when the house was finally ready to voto- on it. Whole sections had been stricken out and the whole measure was patched with amendments. Taft Satisfied. President Taft., however, is satis fied with the measure. "I am not as familiar with the con-! dition of the bill in the house as I the senate," he declared. "Hut I think positively the condition of the bill in the senate will show that tho bill has not been emasculated m either house and that it contains all the remedial features of the original bill and that the things omitted are neither substantial nor vital." The sharpest skirmishing likely to come up in the final stages of the railroad bill fight will be over the long and short haul clause. The elauso provides that railroads must not charge more for a short haul than for a long haul over the snnie line. The administration does not favor this amendment. The amendment, however, was adopted in the commit- ut this time of year.
