Walu-r J oh ii ho ii Slew Klnier Perdu-
iu Cabin near TIiiiImt.
PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 17. Ar
rested while eating dinner In an Hast
Side reHtaurant last night on a
charge of murdering Kliner Perdue.
In a lonely cabin near Timber, Wash
ington county, July 3, Walter John
sou, aged 'i'i years, made a complete
confession to Sheriff Stevens three
hours later, udmltting his brutul
crime.
Johnson killed Perdue for the
money he carried with him, about
$140, and after robbing the dead
body of his victim, covered the
corpse with leaves and brush and
made his way to Portland by a
round-about route.
TellH of Itrutul Crime.
'1 killed Perdue," admitted John
son.- "We slept together In the cabir
and that morning we had ome dis
pute about money matters. I had
gone with him Into the timber tu
locate him on a quarter section of
timber land. Words passed and then
1 got my rille and blew the lop of his
head off.
'He died Instantly and I searchet
his pockets and took between $130
and $140. I also took his watch and
knife and oilier personal effects. I
will show the officers where 1 hid
these things nearby.
"After taking whatever of value
lie had In his pockets, 1 dragged the
body away a short distance Into the
woods and placed It In a ditch, where
I covered It over with leaves and
brush. Then 1 went back to the
abin and cooked my breakfast. Af
ter eating it, I made my way by a
roundabout way to Portlund."
Johnson appeared very nervous af
ier he was arrested and told the of
ficers he experienced a great sense of
relief In getting his dread secret off
his mind. The prisoner will be taken
to Hlllsboro today by Sheriff Han-
pock, of Washington county, and
lodged In jail there to await trial.
Johnson Is well known at Cornel
ius, where his father ran a saloon In
the U0s, nnd where the boy wnr
noted for truancy and for petty
thieving.
SHARP STICK IN IIKAltT.
Coroner's Jury Says Accident in Case
of It. M, Wood, at (iiLston.
HILLSIiORO, Or., Aug. 17.
With a hole In his heart, evidently
made by some blunt instrument,
Robert M. Wood was found dead
early this morning near the barn of
II. D. Jennings, at Gaston, 12 miles
umth of here. Beside the body was
.i sharpened stick, bloody at the
point.
Deep mystery envelopes the rase.
A coroner's Jury, after examining
the premises and taking the testl
moiiy of H. D. Jennings nnd wife, al
whose house Wood had been making
his home for three years, returned
a verdict of accidental death.
Wood lived with the Jennings
family. Three years ago an attempt
upon his life was made by Allen
George . McDonald. who believed
Mrs. Jennings, of whom he was en
amored, was in love with Wood. Mc
Donald killed himself when he found
ho himself was facing arrest.
Notwithstanding this former tra
gedy and its unfavorable lm plica
tion ns regards Mrs. Jennings, her
husband declares his relations with
Wood were friendly and that there
was no jealousy bet ween them. In
this statement Jennings is joined by
his wife.

THE GREATEST NOVEL QFMODERN LITERATURE
MARTIN EDEN
BY
JACK LONDON
This is Jack London's latest and
greatest novel, and is written as
a thinly veiled story of this great Author's life.
It will be published as a serial story in The
Pacific Monthly and will run about 12 months
In search for a ureal novel we were unable to find anything that had not
been spoken for at least a year ahead.
London, who had already contributed several short stories to The Pa
cific Monthly, we scarcely hoped to r.-ach, and did not communicate with him,
as he was out of the country, until we accidentally learned that he had just
completed, and was sending from somewhere in the South Seas, the manu
script for his latest novel. An urgent telegram and letter to his agent, Mrs.
Ninetta Kanies, offering a good round sum for the mere privilege of reading
the manuscript, and for an option upon it for ten days, brought a prompt and
favorable reply. The manuscript came, beautifully typewritten, 142,000
words in length.
We read it and it impressed us as tho best novel we had ever read. Wc
immediately wrote Mrs. Karnes, and aUcr considerable negotiating, succeeded
in securing evdnsive magazine publication rights, at the enormous price of
$7,000.
Mr. Loudon recognizes this as is greatest work but is' too
modest to express himselj beyond this brie remark in a letter:
"I do not know what you will think of this novel; I do not know
what to think of it myself. But at any rate you will find it entirely dif
ferent from anything else I have done."
One of London's most intimate friends who has read the manuscript of
Martin Eden, says that London has put into its pages a vivid picture of his own
wonderful struggle for success in authorship. Perhaps this-accounts for the
wonderful effectiveness of the storv.
It has more than once been noted by reviewers and critical essayists, that
when an author puts his own story into a book, if he is a great author like
London, is apt to be bis masterpiece. Jack London, still but a youth of
thirty-two, has done a prodigious amount of work. Think of this record!
Seventeen complete volumes of novels and short stories, besides this great
Martin Eden, his latest and every one of them a hit with the reading public,
and the most famous authoritative reviewers. " & '
London's understanding is clear oi how to achieve the great end of the
finest art in literary creation ( just as in painting), viz: to stir the emotions;
and he has written nothing that stirs them so profoundly asdoes Martin Eden.
