J:l7. a ti I II J! 1 n 1 Coroner's Verdict in Hendrick ' son and Erickson Cases CORE DETAILS OF TRAGEDY it Oak Creek, Last Salnrday Horning Wbeo Cbas. Hendrickson Killed -''' Ida Eilcksun Investigation by a coroner's jury last Saturday afternoon of the mur der of Miss Ida Erickson, of Oak Greek, and the suicide of her slayer, Charles Hendrickson, a few minutes later, developed but very few facts In relation to that tragic affair in ad dition to those included in The Re view's reports published that day in our special and regular editions. The coroner's jury, consisting of E A. Hinkle, J. P. Strador, Alex Thorn J. Tnorton, J. f. strader, Alex Thorn ton, Frank O. Micelll, John J. Ker naa and Wm. J. Thornton, was em panelled by Justice John T. Long, acting bb coroner in the absence of Coroner N. T. Jewett, who was hold ing an Inquest at Yoncalla. Also participating in the Inquest were K. B. Hermann, deputy district attor ney, and Dr. E. V. Hooveri-as ex amining physician. Upon arrival at the scene of the tragedy about 3 o'clock p. m., Hendrlckson's body was found where it had fallen when he fired the shot which ended his life, sjveral hours before. Examination fftrach body by the physician showed that In both Instances the bullet had entered Just to the left of the center of the breast and ranged slightly to the left and lodged under the skin Just below the shoulder blade, pierc ing the heart. The two wounds were remarkable in their similarity, be ing almost exactly In the same spot on each body, and death must have followed in a few minutes in each case. Charles Erickson, father of the de ceased 'oung lady, repeated to the Jury tu$ story of his first knowledge of the tragedy when his younger daughter, Miss Lena, aged 17 years, and his litt' -on, Johnny, aged 9, came runni Into the harvest held not long jr seven o'clock that morning, crying that Ida had been shot. Reference to the family rec ord shows that Miss Ida would have been 22 years of age on September 7, 1909. He said that Hendrickson. f slayer, was his nephew and that 1 rfT the past year or two, at least, Hendrickson had wished to marry her. This he opposed as he did not believe cousins should marry, ani further that Hendrickson was not the kind of a man he would want his daughter to wed. Also that he had forbidden Hendrickson to ever come Into his house again in July. 1908. The suitor, however, remained In the neighborhood or in some not dis tant part of the county most of the time until about the latter part of last March, when he went to Port land. Since that time Mr. Erickson knew nothing definite of the where abouts of Hendrickson until on the evening before the tragedy he learn ed that the latter had been at his house during the day erdeavoring to get Miss Ida to "make up with him and get married. This she had de clined to do and had given him hack the watch and ring which he bad sent her from Portland. This watch. It has since been learned, had Hen drlckson's photograph Inside of the back opening of the case. Otto Erickson, brother of the de ceased, who was working with his ,'ather ln-the harvest Held when the tragedy occurred, told the Jury of Beveral incidents connected with the affair. He was first to reach the house after the shooting, having ran faster than any other member of the family returning from the field. He found his sister lying in the hallway between the dining room and kitchen, A face turned somewhat downward and still breathing slightly. He picked (Continued on page 2.) 4. MEN WANTED!

I gave him my word and that settled It." Neither of these notes, both writ ten on the same sheet of paper, was signed, but appear to have been writ ten by Hendrickson and Miss Erick- Bon. FKIWil'SOVS SLAYER NOT PRESENT AT INOl'EST. .Albert Hucon Fails to Keep Promise to Return, so Coroner Jewett Semis Olllcer for Him. Holding the verdict of his jury iu ibeyauce. Coroner Jewett is endeav )ring to locate Albert Bacon, who ast Friday morning shot and killed ne of his three hunting companions, Vlarshall D. Ferguson, near Elkhead," ive miles east of Yoncalla. After as sisting In carrying Ferguson's body 'jack to Yoncalla, Bacon left there Friday evening, stating that he would eturn the following day to attend he inquest. He failed to put in an ippearnnce as he had promised and he supposition is1 that be went to vhere his wife and three children are aid to bo camped, four miles from r,ottage Grove. Coroner Jewett, af- er a conference with District Attor ney Brown, telephoned to a Cottage "Irove officer this morping to secure liicon, If possible, and bring him to Yoncalla by next Wednesday. , . The jury which was empanelled 'or the inquest consists or A. C. loore. E. Helliwell, J. McCourt, G. . Banyan, C. H. Ditugherty and Wm. llckerson.

LaFleur, of Yoncalla. and Albert Brumfteld, of Cottage Grove. A correct account of the shooting, brought here by Coroner Jewett, dif fers In some details from first re lorts. Tho four men comprising the hunting part were ascending a moun tain In spread formaticn, when Bacon nlstook Ferguson for a deer and laid 'llm low with one shot from his rifle. What makes Bacon's blunder all the Tiore Inexcusable is that tne iour men, just before beginning their as ent of the mountain, came to an un derstanding among themselves that neither of them would Are a shot un til positive of what they were shoot ing at. Twenty minutes after this self-imposed injunction Ferguson was i corpse. The bullet which ended Ferguson's life entered his back, just off the point of the right shoulder blade. Exit was in the left breast, between 'he heart and breast bone. TAKE NOTICE.

IT IS ESTIMAT ED THAT THE CLAIM TO WHICH HE IS ENTITLED IS WORTH $20, 000. Following the drawing of Sellg's name came these; John Hedwark, of Spokane; John E. Ormamel, of Spo kane; Herman Neubauer, of Tacoma; Ella T. Malouey, of Spokane; and W. W. Atkinson, of Troy, Idaho. These prizes range In value from $18,000 down to 10,000. - The number present at the draw ing was far less than expected;- not over 1000 people being in attend ance. Judge Witten, who presided over the affair, addressed the crowd briefly, saying: . '.'No one can tell one envelope fron another. I will give anyone in the crowd an opportunity to pick out his own number. If he thinks he can, pro viding he forfeits any further chance to win." - Isadore Sellg is a brother of Na than Sellg, the well known merchant of Myrtle Creek, and conducts a cigar store and billiard hall In that town.

The Hooevelt policy for Irrigation and reclamation of arid lands Is expected to precipitate a clash between Dal llnger and Plnchot at the Seventeenth National Irrigation Congress, which opened here today. Halllnger, while not opposing Roosevelt's policies In their entirety, made some changes. This has aroused Plnchot's opposition Iloth men will meet before the con gress, and the adherents will light It out on the floor. Each side U deter mined to place the congress on rec ord for its own particular plan. Favors Ijumber Tariff. That the lumber tariff is necessary In forest preservation was the argu ment of Governor Marlon r . flay, or Washington, at the opening of tie congress today. He said: "Those who advocate free lumber are unquestionably honest In their attitude and are inspired with a be lief that such reductions In the tar iff or removal thereof will have the j eneci or greauy lowering uie ui forest products to the consumers. 1 am convinced that these premises are wrong. Possibly for a short period following reduction of the tariff and consequent admission of Canadian competition, a slight reduction In the cost of forest products to the con sumer might take place. This would be but temporary, for the conditions which have been forcing up the price of lumber In this country are rapidly finding a parallel In Canada and British Columbia. The real cause of the rise In prices is to be found In the diminishing forest area. If the tariff Is removed or materially re duced the competition that will fol low will hasten the depletion of our own and forests of neighboring countries. The price will become pro hibitive to the home-buiirter. t'on Kosilon In tenement districts will take place and deplorable conditions eilstlnF In nortlons of the Old World will follow. Fully three-fourths of the ancient standing limber of the country is owned by corporations and th difference In the price of labor In the United States and Canada would smother the Industry In this country. There are 1. 300.000 peo ple employed In the lunfter Industry in this country alone." I Favor Itond Plnn. I Praising the work of the Reclama tion Service and the Bureau of For estry, demanding government bonds for the Improvement of the national waterways and for the enlargement of the reclamation service and de manding the regulation of the water power monopoly. Oeorge K. Barstow. of Texas, president of the congress, sounded the keynote of Its Issues iu the opening address of today's ses sion. "The preservation of our forests la the foundation principle of all the valuable objects that we seek to at tain," he said. "And than which nothing is more important today to our country's commercial and indus trial life." The object of the congress, declar ed Barstow, Is to marshal the forces that seek the betterment of the coun try for the overthrow of the elements that seek to destroy through greed. "As illustrative of this principle," he declared, "I desire to direct the attention of tills congress to the ques tion of a wise and Just federal or legislative control of the water power companies inhabiting our nation, es pecially by limiting the time for which their rights are granted." "The voice of the people of our entire nation demands," he declared, "that the reclamation fund shall be forthwith supplemented by the crea tion and sale from time to time of gold bonds In the total sum of five hundred million dollars In order that much more rapid work may pro ceed In reclaiming swamp lands and the Improvement of rivers. This is not time to halt or disband."
