Hendrickson Murders Iba Erickson at Oak Creek THEN ENDS HIS OWN LIFE Hendrickson Was Girl's Cousin, Her Fdllicr Opposfd Malcn Inqorsl being HHd and A terrible double tragedy occurred at Oak Creek, 12 miles east of this city this morning, when Charles Hendrickson, aged nbout 25 years, shot and almost instantly killed Miss Iba Erickson, aged about 20 years, The murderer a few moments Inter ended his own Hl'e by a clmllnr shi. from his US-calibre revolver. This awful deed was done at the home of the young lady's father, ChfiF. Erickson. about 7:30 o'clock, ,isf after her father nnd her oldest brother. Otto Erickson, had gone out into the harvest field to work. 'Her iir'her being dead, she was the family housekeeper, and with her were h"r younger sisler, Lena, aged bout 1S, and little brother, Johnny, aged 9. When the shooting occ urred, Miss Tgi was nlone In the house, her sister was sitting on the Itfhen porch and the boy wns not far from the door steps. It .ippenrs that Hendrickson, who is a cousin of the girl be slew, had hired a horse and buggy In Wosburg on Friday nnd drove out to Oak Creek and probably as far as Glide, returning to town In the evening. He then walked back to Oak Creek aud this morning nppear- d at the Erickson home just after the men of the family had departed for their day's work in the field. What, words passed between the two parties to the tragedy Is unknown, as they were alone In the house to gether. A few minutes nfter his arrival, the sister nnd little brother were startled by a pistol shot and when the former. Miss Lenn, rushed into the house she found her sister lying on the floor with a terrible wound just below her heart. She was unable to tell what had occurred and died In less than half an hour. Hendrickson walked out back of the house to ati open space about 200 yards away and ended his own life a few minutes later by shoot ing himself just below the heart, this being In the same spot that he had shot the girl nnd with the same weapon. Motive for the tragedy Is said tot be unrequited love. He wished to) marry Miss Erickson but this her j father bitterly opposed. It is pre-' sumed that she had acain refused ; his attentions when he fired the fatal shot. Then, filled with remorse, he quickly ended his own life. ! Hendrickson Is of Swedish descent and bad been in that neighborhood at intervals for three or four years past, but left there early In last : winter and had not been seen again j until In the past day or two. The Erickson family are very highly ea- teemed people, while Hendrickson is Said to have been rather disso lute and a "booze fighter." Immediately upon receiving the report of the girl beine killed. Sher iff Fenton and Marshal Huffman left fr,r Oak Creek in search of the mur derer. Before they had been gone from town 30 minutes the news was received here that Hendrickson had also slain himself, thus making their mission useless. H. D. Engels. who came In from Peel this morning, believes be saw Hendrickson and two girls at a fun eral at Glide on Friday, but whether these were the Erickson sisters he does not know. The younger sister was so prostrated over the tragedy that she was unable to give any defi nite account of it to the neighlmra who had assembled, even before the stricken girt had breathed her las' Later in the day It Is hoped that she will be able to give more in formationespecially as to the movements of Hendrickson. on Frl day. Coroner Jewett being absent at Yoncalla, Justice John T. I-ong and lieittitv District Attorney Hermann with a physician and possibly one or two jurors, will leave here at one Suicide o'clock .this afternoon for the scene of the tragedy to hold an Inquest. LATER Just before suiciding, Hendrickson wrote a letter addressed to Otto Erickson, his victim's broth er. It is In Swedish, and In It Hen drickson says he loved Iga, could not live without her and decided to tnke her with htm to the next world. He says also that he threw away $ 1 Ti 0 before shooting himself. A search was made for the money, but It could not be found. Hendrickson and the girl were en gaged to bo married when he lef.t Onk Creek last winter. During his absence, however, the girl decided to break the engagement, and when Hendrickson drove out to her home yesterday she handed htm a ring, also a watch which ho had given her. Otto Erickson would not tell the full contents of the letter, written by the murderer, bo Sheriff Fenton took possession of the communica tion nnd brought It to Roseburg this afternoon for a complete transla tion.

MKOFORD, Or., Aug. 6. Circuit Judge H. K. llanna thin mornliiK 1b sued a temporary Injunction, restrain ing the city of Medford from entor ItiK upon the llanley premises on Lit tle IJutte creek. The order was mado upon tho complniut nnd pvtittou of M. F. Hunley, through his attorney, A. R Hcnncs, who alleged that tho recent term of court held by Judge John S. Coke of the second judicial district, in which dniunKCH to the amount of $G00 were awarded to Mr. llanley was unconstitutional, that the order of Judso Coke calling the spe cial term waB not properly served up on Mr. Hnnley. Judge Hnnna requir ed Mr. Hunley to llle u bond of $10, UU0 and then Issued tho Injunction. It was for the-purposo of exuedlt- Ing matters that the city petitioned llovornor henson to order Judge Couo to hold a Bpeclal term of court In this city after Judge llanna had refuHed. The loss to the city Is es timated at over $100 a day, from Its Inability to complete the gravity water system which Ib being Installed at a cost of i:i6r,0U0. llanna has ruled ngnlnst tho city. Tho delay In the building of the sys tem Is costly iiB It prevents the city from obtaining a revenue with which to meet the intercut on tho largo I bond Issue, which luxes tho resources of the city to the utmost.

Smith, of New York, representing tho stock and bond holders of the Oregon Electric Rnilroad Company, 'Is today making an Inspection trip of the Portland-Siilem line of that road, In company with General Man agor Guy W. Talbot, nnd It Is re ported that the expenditure of $2, 000,000 far extensions of the electric system which was considered early In the summer haa practically been decided upon. President Moffat and a number ot the directors of the Oregon Electrlo i were In Portland several months ago and considered the appropriation of enough money to extend the Hue to Albany at that time.' Action on this was postponed 'Until later In the year then, but the talk of extension has been revived by the visit of Mr. Smith. Thero can be no doubt but that the ultimate Intention ot the build ers of the Oregon Electric Is to con tinue their Willamette Valley line down through Eugene and Into South ern Oregon. There have also been rumors of the extension of the For est Grove branch westward toward the coast, but plans In that direc tion have not reached the stage that those for the Southern Oregon ex tension have attained. It Is consid ered highly probable that the Salem lino will be extended to Albany at. least during the coming year. MAItltllOl). LAWSON-ALHX ANDIOR In : Rose- burg, Aug. 7, 1909, H. W.
