PLANS DECIDED ON
Wooden Joists and Deck For
Deer Creek Bridge
REST STEEL AND CONCRETE
Trass Will be Bulb 4 Feel Above ni
Below 24-Fooi Kuduway, lib
Footwalks OaiiiJi
In adjourned session Monday
night, the city council decided on the
plan for a new bridge over Deer
Creek, not to cost In exeesB of $5000,
the limit fixed by a majority vote ol
the council a week before. At the
regular meeting of the council next
Monday evening, unless in the mean
time unforscen obstacles arise, the
city recorder will be Instructed to
advertise for bids for the work.
As decided on by the council, the
proposed bridge will be not over 100
feet long, Instead of 120 feet, a?
specified In Engineer Kelsey's plans.
It will have a roadway 24 feet wide,
paralleled by 6-foot walks for pedes
trians. Kelsey'e plans call for a road
way 28 foet In width. The elevation
of the bridge will be two feet lower
than the present one and it will have
no cover. The Joists and deck will
be of wood, but all the other parts
of the structure will be of steel, re
inforced by concrete. The trusscE.
eight feet high, are to be so em
placed that they will connect with
the roadway in their centers, ex
tending four feet below the roadway
and four feet above, with the foot
walks on the outside. The bridge will
weigh about 20 tons and will easll
support such ponderous objects as tlx
steam road roller, recently purchaser
by the county court.
Economy First.
Councilman Strong, one of the
committeemen appointed to seeun
sets of pinna within the $5000 limit
reported that a bridge according ti
the Kelsey plan would cost consider
amy more inuji uihl iiiiiuuiil e
therefore the committee had decider
(to recommend a bridge less elabt.r
Ste in detail. Upon Investigation. In
ctet tha nnmmlnoo h a rl rnitnri Ihni
a bridge 100 feet long, with a road
way 24 feet wide, would answer the
present needs of the city Just as ae'.l
as a bridge of larger dimensions, as
planned by Kelsey. Another change
which the committee decided upon
was to substitute wooden joists (or
steel girders and wooden planking
for a concrete deck. Mr. Strong ex
plained that these changes wore
necessary to keep the cost within the
$5000 limit.
The most Important feature of the
committee's report was In regard to
the 8-foot trusses, which were orig
inally recommended to be placed
entirely below the bridge, leaving
nothing above the roadway save the
handrails along the footwalks. The
report, embodying this recommenda
tion, was unanimously adopted upon
motion of Cardwell, but Mayor Hoov
er sounded a warning note that caus
ed the council to rescind Its action.
Mayor Threatens Veto.
"I understand," said Mayor Hoov
er, "that the deck of the new bridge
will be two feet lower than the one
we have now, and now you intend
to extend a truss eight feet below
that. Such a bridge would be swept
awav bv the first high water that fol
lowed Its construction. I want to go
on record right now as opposed to
any such plan. I don't want a new
bridge to go out and then have people
say that 1 am responsible for It. Such
a bridge as this council proposes to
build will never be authorized with
niy consent."
The Mayor's declaration set the
council to thinking. Some one sug
gested a plan to pluce the truss en
tirely abuve the roadway. This was
brushed aside when it was shown
that heavier floor beams and longer
piers would bo necessary, thus rais
ing the cost over the $5000 limit.
Then It was argued that to place the
truss half below the roadway and hu!f
above would eliminate the bridge
from danger from floods, and at the
same time not increase the cost to
any extent. Mayor Hoover voiced no
obje-tlous to this proposition, but he
manifested misilvlngs just the same.
With the new bridge two feet lower
than the present one and four feet
of truss still below that the structure
will be none too high. Deer Creek is
known to have risen high enough in
the past to have menaced such a
bridge, and apprehension over the
possibility of an equally heavy tlood
In the future may bring about still
another change In the council's plans
before a contract Is let.
Five sets of plans were before the
council Monday night. In addition
to those drafted by Kolsey, plans
were presented by Sheely & Co., of
Seattle; E. G. Perham, of Marshlleld;
The Northwest Bridge Company, of
Portland, and the Columbia Bridge
Co., also of that city. All of these
firms were notified to revise their
plans to meet the Ideas of the coun
cil and to present them at the meet
ing next Monday night. Sheely &
Company's representative, Mr. Mathi
son, announced that he would be un
able to be present, but before leaving
the city this morning he handed to
Councilman Mullen a set of plans
which he chanced to have with him
and which in the main correspond
with the council's ideas. No official
action will be taken, however, until
the other prospective bidders arc
heard from.
Of Interest to Farmers nnd Mechanics
Farmers and mechanics frequently
meet with slight accidents nnd In
juries which cause them much an
noyance and loss of time. A cut or
bruise may be cured In about one
'hlrd the lime usually required by
applying Chamberlain's Liniment as
soon as the injury is received. This
liniment is also valuable for sprains,
soreness of the muscles and rheu
matic pains. There iB no danger of
blood poisoning resulting from an In
jury when Chamberlain's Liniment Is
applied before the parts become in
darned and swollen. For sale by all

WILLIAMS IIHOTHEHS
FURNISH HEAVY liOMIS
Larson Expected to Recover Unless
Complications Ensue latest
Version of the Fight.
A. Larson, who was stabbed by Jeff
Williams during an altercation at
Looking Glass Monday morning,
rested easily at Mercy Hospital last
night and is reported to be in very
favorable condition today. Unless
unlooked-for complications set in Lar
son stands a good chance of recovery,
according to the statement of the at
tending physicians.
Williams and ills brother, "Dose,"
who also figured In the affray, wore
arraigned before Justice Long In this
city Monday evening and each fur
nished bonds In the sum of $1500
to Insure his appearnnco for exam
ination jiext Monday, June 21. The
charge lodged against them is as
sault with a dangerous weapon, but
this will be changed to a charge of a
more serious nature if Larson doee
not recover.
- The Williams brothers have retain
ed Attorney W. W. Cardwell, of this
city, to defond them. They decline to
make any statement of the light other
than that they acted In self defense.
Jeff's left eye Is surrounded by a
heavy discoloration, and It Is said
that this was done by a blow from
Larson's list before Jeff used his
knife. Jeff does not weigh over 130
pounds, while Larson weighs close
to 170.
Jeff Inflicted two wounds upon Lar
son, but only the one ntfxt to the
heart Is of consequence. The other
is in Larson's scalp, is less than an
Inch long, and amounts practically
to nothing. "Hose" Williams, it Is
now claimed, did not seize Lnrson
until after Jeff stabbed hi in and then
only for the purpose of pulling him
away and stopping -the fight. Not un
til after Larson returned home did he
feel any effects of the wound In his
breast. Until that time he did not
know the wound was there. He bled
a little, but supposed this was duo to
the wound on his head, which did not
bother him.
HOI PRICES RISING.
PORTLAND, June 14. So far as
contracts are concerned there was
nothing doing in the local hop mar
ket during the past week. While
boosters, who have contracts on hand,
were therefore not buying themselves,
they did nothing but talk of extreme
ly high values to come In order to
keep other dealers .from contracting.
Fourteen cents was offered during
the week in several Instances for first
class yards and It Is stated aa high as
lfic was offered but no business was
reported in this line.
Spot goods is In demand and sev
eral Ta1r sized sales of 1 908s were
reported around 10c a pound. Even
7s are in demand.
Growers are now figuring on 25
or possibly 30c a pound for hops.

Tirnri mn
Aged Chinaman Near Riddle
Murderer's Victim
HAD ONLY SIX DOLLARS
Struck Down While Working Id Gar
den and Burled in Creek
Snerlil Fcnlon Searching
Special to the Evening Revlow.
RIDDLE, Or., Juno 15. Ah Sam,
a Chlnnman, aged about 115 years,
and who had spent 41 years of his
life mining 011 Cow Creek, wus round
brutally murdered Inst Sunday by
Frank Evans, about six miles south
of town. Douglas Perry, while pas
sing tho cabin of the Chlnnninn, no
ticed that everything was disarranged
around the place and suspected some
thing wrong. Others were notified
and a search resulted In tho finding
of tho Chinaman's body hidden In
a crevass or the rocks In a little
creek about 100 feet distant from his
cabin.
Circumstances show that the
Chinaman was struck from behind
with a heavy miner's pick, while
working in hlB garden. Tho slippers
he wore were found on the ground
Just as ho fell forward out of them
after being Blruck. Close at hand
were the knife nnd buekut ho was us
ing in thu gardeu.
After knocking hlB victim sense
less, tho murderer struck him again
and again, eight frightful wounds be
ing found upon his bend. Nearby lay
the bloody pick whh which the crime
was committed. Tho murderer drag
ged the Chinaman's body over the
fence of his s::; den to a point about
50 feet distant, where he attempted
to bury N. Evidently becoming
afraid of being observed, he dragged
him still further into the brush and
sank the body Into the bed nt a very
small creek, covering It over wllh
boulders and pieces of wood In such
an effective manner that tho grave
would perhaps never have been dis
covered had it not been for tho bloud
splotches leading to thu spot.
That two men may have been guilty
of the deed Is evidenced by tho fact
that one of tho boulders covering tho
body weighed over 700 pounds and
had to be pried up before tho body
could bo removed.
Robbery was undoubtedly tho mo
tive. This Is evident from the dis
arranged condition of the Chinaman's
cabin. Every corner of the cabin has
been searched for gold dust believed
to be In his possession.
Ah Sam wus a naturalized Ameri
can, taking out his papers in 1892.
He came to this country -when 21
years of ago and had lived almost
continuously Blnce that tlmo on Cow
Creek. Citizens of Riddle, who were
well acquainted with him, say that he
was an honest. Inoffensive person, and
popular feeling 1b high against the
murderer. It is not thought that Ah
Sam had any gold dust hidden away,
but on the contrary it Is thought ha
had a hard time making a living.
The old man was a sufferer from
rheumatism and very decrepit, which
makes the cowardly crime more hien
ous. He camo to Riddle a week ago
ami sold $22 worth of gold dust
With that amount he purchased $14
worth of provisions, made a tew little
presents to Bectlon men who had be
friended him ami paid a small bill,
bringing the total amount expended
to about J 16. which amount loft him
only (11. As no money was found on
his person, this is probnbly tho mur
derer's gain for his crime.
Ah Sam has a brother living In
t anyonviiio, ana mis nun ueuuus
In a business way with VChlna Sum"
and "Hum," In Roseburg.
Sheriff Feuton nnd George Qulne
have gone Into the mountains In
search of the murderer. It is freely
rumored that a certain local, party Is
Implicated.
Coroner Jowett began tho Inquest
over tho body at 2 o'clock today be
fore the following jury: D. W. Crosby,
a. W. Riddle, H. D. Nichols, Bert
Riddle, Jas. Yokum and U. S. Nich
ols. Quito a number of witnesses are
to bo examined, nnd the Inquest will
probably be prolonged until late this
