In response to a message announc ing the fact that the coroner's jury returned a verdict to the effect that Alexander McXabb. the Brock waj hermit, was- killed, and was not burned to death us first suspected. Sheriff George Quine arrived home last evening from Yoncalla in read iness to institute a search for the murderer or murderers. In speaking of the affair this morning. Sheriff Quine said that he was satisfied that McNabb was mur dered, and that he intended to ex ert his best efforts in running the murderers to earth. To substantiate the theory that McXabb was the vic tim of font play, the otl.ee r says that all evidence thus fur secured points to such an end, especially the fractures of the skull which appear to have been inflicted by some blunt instrument. Sheriff Quine scouts the contention that the woiuuls disclos ed on the skull were caused by fall ing timbers, and is set In his opinion that the man was murdered. his body placed on the bed, and his cab In burned with a view of destroying evidence of the crime. Although several days have pass ed since the crime was enacted, . the officer is now on the track of three strangers who were seen loitering in the vicinity of the hermtis' cabin on the dny preceding the murder. These men, it Is said, were en route to Roseburg on 'tiiursday, the day following the crime, and it is generally supposed that they ore headed for Coos Bay points. At least, reports have been received a-i the sheriff's office tending to show that they passed Camas Valley yes terday, presumably expecting to reach the coast by Friday. In order to Intercept the men. Sheriff Quine telephoned Sheriff Gage. of Coos county, lust night, and he will ar rest them in the event they show up In that section of the country. Peter McNabb. a brother of the murdered man, who is much Inter ested iiV having the responsible pariies brought to Justice, left for Marsh field this morning, and It Is likely that he will assist the Coos county officers materially in their search for the suspects. McNabb has a good description of the men suspected of the crime, and says he will recognize them upon sight. Other than this clew, the sheriff has little evidence upon which to base u search at the present time. Notwithstanding this, however, he it determined 1.0 investigate thq .af fair thoroughly and will leave no stone unturned In bringing the men to justice.

It is hellev- 1 ed here that the men are strangers In this vlrlnity con- sklerlng the fact that they are apparently attempting to keep out of sight. As the men are but a few miles ahead of the posse. leads to the belief that they are the. parties wnnted. in the event they are not. the posse will continue its way 'Into the Loon Lake country and thence to the coast. F.veryone here Is excited over the news, and await the arrival of the posse with eagerness. . According to advices received here it noon today, Deputy Sheriffs Fred Stewart anil Sam Starmer. who lire trading the posse in search of the wo bandits, who held up and robbed be mall enr of the Shasta Limited, tear Yunialla.

The most Important matter to attract the attention of the city council last evening was an oral pro test against the pavement at pres-, ent under construction on Pine street. Attorney C. 4. Jackson, who ap peared on behalf of the property owners, said that the pavement was lefective in more than one Instance, and was causing considerable com plaint at the hands of those who would be expected to defray the ex pense of Its construction. He said that the Clarke & Henery Construc tion Company was using Boil and riv er holders in the formation of the pavemeut, notwithstanding that the contract speclllcally provided that rushed rock should be used. He ,ilso referred to the dressing, and in this regard, said that It was de fective and would not prove dur able. Attorney Jackson presented samples of the holders that are be ing used, and the same were inspect ed at some length by the council- men. At the conclusion of Mr. Jack ion's remarks. Mayor Hnyives in formed the council that he had no- tilled the cement inspector to go jver the street, and to ascertain whether or not the pavement was being laid according to plans and ipecllicatlons. Itlds Are Received.

H Attorney Leo Cannon. who Is managing the recall -campaign against Judge John Coke, of Marsh Held, received a letter from Secre tary of State Hen Olcott today, in which the latter states that the total vote of the second Judicial district. based on the vote of the last election for justice, of the supremo court, was 19.231. In order to call the outemplated election It will Ite nec ssarv to secure signatures repre senting one-fourth of the total, or in other words 4.807 legal voters will necessarily have to nflix their names lo the petitions before the secretary of state enn Issue a call of election. Attorney Cannon said today that ihe petitions were being signed more freely than ever, especially In the country districts where the sen timent against Judge Coke appears to be strongest. In e.une instances. it Is said that farmers have offered o circulate the petitions free ol harge in their respective commu nities thus evidencing the feeling that Is manifest. Compilation of additional peti tions is now lu progress and Attor ney Cannon hopes to havo men at work In Itentou, Lane, Coos, Curry. and Lincoln counties, which, togeth er with Douglas county comprise the second judicial district. Uf a few days. Kvidenting that Interest In the recall Is not, (routined to Douglas couuly, alone. Is apparent from the large number of letters that are be ing received from various sections of the district. In a majority of Instances, Hie writers promise theii tippori, while others are simply In quest of Information relative to the ireumstances leading up to the re call campaign. It was openly stated on the streets this morning that local -parties who are In sympathy with Judge Coke wilt stump the district in the In terest of their candidate In the event the campaign reaches an Issue In oppositions to theno persons. It Is admitted that others contemplate working oienly In opposition to Judge Coke In hope thai he may he defeated. Attorney Cannon says that no dlf (lenity wilt be encountered in se curing the required number of signatures, nnd he predicts that the (lection will he called at nn early date. Today several petitions were returned with a full quota of sign ers, t minding many . of Douglas county s most prominent citizens. SusKcts Claim That They Feu ml Stolen .Articles lit a Deserted Hon mo u Short Distance North Of Drain. Phillip and Joseph Khnert. the two transients who were arrested at Albany Sunday evening accused of; robbing the Walter Kent merchan dise store, at Drain, on Friday night.; were arraigned before Justice of the Peace C. W. Hucher at the latter ity yesterday and held to appear before the grand Jury under bonds In the sum of $500 each. When arrested, the men wore oills of clothes stolen from the Kent store, and in their possession vere f ou nd 4 5 pocket k n Ives, t h ree lotcu razors, four suit cases, three 'tits, two pair of shoes, one auto matic revolver, and several packages .if cartridges. Notwithstanding that i hey were found In possession of the stolen property the men profoss innocence of the crime nnd allege that they found the goods in a de serted house a short distnuce north if Drain. The o Ulcers place little credence In the story told by the men. however, considering the fact that nearly every burglar arraigned during the last term of court told a simitar story. The men were hrotigh here from Drain last evening and are now In the county Jail await ing disposition at the hands of the poper officials. : Ask for piano certificates al Ioscplison'8. Mrs. M.

Stephens, a local shoe dealer, was yesterday elected a member of the school board with 107 votes. Ilia nearest opponent, O. C, Baker, pro prietor of the Hoseburg Steam Laun dry received 92 votes. The polls opened at promptly 2 o'clock, and shortly thereafter per sons Interested In the selection of a director commenced to assemble at the school building where the elec tion was held. It is said that the citizens of North Roseburg voted al most solid for Mr. Raker, while property owners residing lu Rose burg, proper, supported Mr. Steph ens, Considerable interest was ma ni ton t in the election! presumabh from the fact that a rumor was in circulation to the effect that Mr. Maker favored the erection of a high school building In North Roseburg. white Mr. Stephens was opposed to such a move. Netther Mr. Stephens or Mr. Raker solicited the office but on the contrnry were nominated by persons Interested in the main taining of the high standard of local schools. J. C. Fullorton. the retiring mem ber of the school hoard, had been repeatedly urged to enter the con test for re-election, but refused.
