JACKSON, Cal., Aug. 28. (Asso icated Press.) forty-eight men, en tombed in the famous Argonaut gold mine, below the 3500 foot level by fire which broke out in the main shaft at midnight, were still In the mine this morning at 7:30 o'clock. EtTorts are being made to rescue the miners thru the abandoned Muldoon shaft. The fire was discovered at mid night when dense smoke and tierce heat was noticed by two men at the 3000 foot level. They came to the top and spread the alarm. Rescue parties 'equipped with gas masks, went down, and found roaring flames. They were unable to reach the lower levels. The situation of the entombed men was made worse when the air pipes burst and the electric wiring went out of commission. The fire is burning at the 4300 and 4500 foot levels, according to the superintendent.

CORVALLIS. Aug. 27. Judge C. A. Sehlbrede died at his residence here this morning. lle was 70 years of age. Mr. Sehlbrede was born ln Louisville, Kentucky, and came to Oregon In 1877, locating at Salem, where he practiced law. in 1880 he married Ianthe Downing and moved to Hoseburg. Mr. Sehlbrede was elected to the legislature from 'Douglas county in 1 St 7. and the following year was ap pointed judge by President McKlnley for the southeastern Alaska district, with headquarters at SkagwayT Mr. Sehlbrede was judge of this district during the famous Sophie Smith crimes, and took an active part in bringing the Smith gang to justice. Judge Sehlbrede was a constant preacher of government by law, in that all but lawless country and when a mob broke open the jail ln which a part ot the Smith followers were incarcerated, with the definite inten tion of hanging them to the nearest limb, the judge left his bed In the middle of the night, worked his way through the mob and harangued it vehemently, urging them to help him lipoid the dignity of the United States government and permit the law to take its course. Because of his ear nestness and very evident patriotism the mob surrendered to his plea and returned the prisoners to jail. The prisoners afterward were tried and convicted of numerous crimes, and some were hanged. On his return from Alaska, Judge Sehlbrede went to Marshfleld to prac tice law. While there he served as president of the it'oos and Curry oounty bar association and also as president of the state board of the Christian church. Five years ago he came to Corval 11a on account of failing health. Here he had practiced law ever since his arrival, though for the past year he had been too feeble to pay much attention to business. During the war he was an active worker In the various patriotic campaigns. He Is survived by his widow and two chil dren, Mrs: W. A. Reed, of this city, and Mrs. Bertha Gettins, of Arling ton. Funeral services wll be held here Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Rev. C. W. Reynolds officiating. In terment will he held in the Newton cemetery, where the services will be In charge of the Odd Fellows, of which organization Mr. Sehlbrede had been a member for nearly 40 years. n Au'AnT,s!hrTnl lUI ,)e no element of fiction In It.

Roseburg's big "Whoopee" celebra tion to be given Labor day by the Douglas County band and the Rose burg baseball team, will be one ot the biggest events of the year, the pro gram assuring a day full ot excite ment and entertainment. The day's entertainment starts at 10 o'clock ln tbe morning with a big parade. This parade will be headed by the band and will cover a great many blocks.

NEW MACHINERY AIDS Automatic Cookers Allow Fruit to Puss Throughout the Full Cooking lriM-eN Without the Cans lie. Ing Touched by lliuids. Over one thousand cans, or more than thirty tons of pears will be put out daily by the local cannery as soon as tbe force of workers can be re- culted to full strength, according to Manager Frank Norton, who Is today making arrangements to attack the llmpqua valley pear crop In real ear nest. With the season just starting, the canpery Is putting out more thun 400 cases daily, but the fruit Is com ing ln much more rapidly than lt can be handled by the women wbo do the peeling, grading, etc., and, conse quently, the plant Is not working at full capacity, as it will as soon as additional helii can be obtained. The new automatic cookers which have lust been Installed, more than double the capacity of the plant, and in addition, does away wltb the labor of five men who are employed in oth er narts of the plant. With these cookers In operation the Jruit Is' not touched by hands from tbe time lt goes Into the cntu until It Is dished out by the consum er. The cannery nt the present time nresents a very active appearance. There are 110 persons eniployod and all are kept busy. The main floor is piled high with pears undergoing a ripening process or being graded and made ready for tile peelers, in the canning room approximately 76 women are busily engaged ln peeling the pears, slicing them and removing the cores. The fruit then goes to other tables where It Is carefully washed, all spots removed, and Is graded and sorted and placed In cans. This work is al! done by women and girls who are quite adept at this task. ' From there the fruit goes to a long table from which It Is taken, can by can, and placed on a long conveyor. This conveyor passes under a series of spouts which pour the cans full ot syrup. The cans then pass on thru a long box filled with steam, which exhausts the air In the cans, which are then sealed by an automatic top per. With the cans still untouched, they are conveyed automatically into Ihe cookers, and there the fruit Is cooked at a temperature of 212 de grees for a certain period of time, and then It passes out of the cookers onto other conveyors which carry the cans thru a vat of cold water where the temperature In the cans Is re duced to a point below cooking. Re moved from this vat the cans are conveyed to another trough from which they are removed and packed Into the boxes ready for shipment. In the event they are to be labeled before shipment, they are removed to the labelers' tables before being crated. At the present lime the cannery Is sending out about 400 crates dally, but the capacity of 1.000 crates will be reached In a few days, Mr. Norton predicts. In order to handle the fruit 100 or moro women are needed, and an effort is being made today to ob tain this help. The pears are coming in faster than they can be canned, and In order lo save them, the com pany has leased cold storage space and will continue the season until October. ' The pear crop this year Is excel lent In quality. Mr. Norton says, and the fruit being canned should bring rood prices on the market. The pro cess thru which It goes results In a thoro cook, while none of the true flavor of the fruit Is lost. The fruit in also whole and firm, and is very nice In appearance as well as delirious in flavor. o- FORMER ROSEBURG ATTY. ADVANCES NEWTHEORY ON BRUMFIELD MURDER CASE F.C. Heffron, Personal Friend of Convicted Man, Says Doctor Is Not Guilty New Theorist Is Personally Sure of His Ground and Hopes to Free His Friend. V. P. C. Heffron, former Roseburg at torney, now located in Eugene, has advanced a new theory concerning the famous Urumfleld murder case. The theory, lu detail, la given In the Sun day Journal as follows: Not Brumfleld. but bandits! Not a criminal, but a man pitifully Insane. Dr. Richard M. Urumfleld, Roseburg dentist atid prominent citizen, did not kill Dennis Russell, near-hermit of Douglas county and victim of one of Oregon's most baffling murder mys teries. "In any event, there Is ground enough ln support of that belief to warrant to command a rehearing be fore the state supreme court ot the cir cumstantial evidence that convicted llrumfield and now holds him ln the shadow of the hangman's noose at the state penitentiary." These bombshells were hurled Into the comparative quiet that has engulf ed tbe Brumfleld case by F. C. Heffron, Kugene attorney, who brought to Portland on Saturday the results of an investigation he has privately carried on since the day of the fiendish mur der of Dennis Russell near his Impro vised little home lu Douglas county more than one year ago. Knew Brumfleld. Heffron. schooled In caution, yet per sonally certain of bis ground, asks only, he says, that his deductions and theories be given such consideration as will lead to an official Investiga tion. He promises in such an inves tigation developments enough to thrill a Dr. Watson or a Craig Kennedy, lliose keen, fictitious Investigators who pry into the oddities and the vague psychologies of crime and crim inals. The Kugene attorney, although In no manner legally connected with the Urumfleld rase or family. Is personally interested because of the friendship he held for Brumfleld when he had offices in the same building with tbe dentist at Roseburg a few years ago. There ho had, he declared, opportunity to know the mnn as few others outside his family could know him. "I knew Brumfleld and I would not for the world see him or any other mnn pay the great penalty for a crime he did not commit," Heffron said. "Remember that Brumfleld was con victed on circumstantial evidence: that the state never did prove Its case! conclusively. 'Dennis Russell was killed at a time when the roadways near Roseburg and trying to rob Brumfleld, killed Dennis? "A jury that would have acquitted Brumfleld at a time when every man's blood trailed and when every pulsa was fevered, would have been lynched. "No motive was ever established that would give the slightest reason for Brumfleld to commit such a crime. Urumfleld had drawn from the bank a large sum of money and lt was . in his possession when Russell was killed. That hasn't been explained away. i . "There never waa a 'woman' in the case and none at tbe circumstantial evidence against Brumfleld gave weight to such a supposition. Such a theory, to one who knew Brumfleld, Is too silly, too impossible even to coun- -tenance. "None but an Insane man could have acted as Brumfleld did." Offers Bandit Theory. These are the major points ln lleff ron's rase, offered almost coincident ally with Brumfield's plea for a rehear ing of the case before the state su preme court on the ground that a mis understanding .la. the matter of a change of venue had emlt4 Jn a previous supreme court refusal for a. rehearing. The Eugene attorney is convinced that highwaymen and not Brumfleld accomplished the awful death of Den nis Russell. "The highways were made terrible by bandits about that time," Heffron points out. "My belief Is that Urum fleld bad gone to the Russell shack to give Russell a 'lift' to the Brumfleld farm, where the hermit had been en gaged to labor. "Urumfleld was In possession at that very time of a large sum of money and lt Is reasonable to presume that high- ' waymen knew that fact, "Therefore, either at the Russell cob tage or not far from lt, the dentist and Russell were attacked. Either in an effort to shield himself or to pro- lect Urumfleld, the probable object of the bandit attack, Russell was killed by gunshot Other Auto Tracks. "Brumfleld was bordering then on Insanity and the terror of the scene enacted before his eyes threw over the balance and the quiet professional man became a maniac to whom the sight of blood shouted for concealment of the crime. That is one theory. "The other Is that, with death at his hand, Brumfleld waa in a 'mental haze without an idea What to do.

Haegger was taken before a jury In the district court and admitted robbing the game, which he said was losing conducted in a specially I casino within a block of the po' station. The Jury derided that "honesty Is the best policy" and after deliber ating ten minutes upon Hwagger's candid story returned a verdict ol "not gtiyty.'" With a verdict of "not guilty" Ilaegger's attorney said that I' didn't steal it, the only logical thing to do was to secure the money for Haeggmr.

Then Orln Moore, whom Haegger charged with operating the pool hall brought a suit against the sheriff, on behalf of Haegger to force the sheriff to give over the money. This was time number 1 for the sheriff to serve papers upon himself to make answer to the allegation. Then Orln Moore, whom Haegger said In court was "running the game," called the sheriff Into a quiet corner and suggested that he be giv en the money. Another refusal and another suit. Later, W. F.
