Murder Seems Premeditated.
" Rye Valley; Ore., Aug. 16. (Spe
cial) That Lawrence Cartwright left
his home yesterday morning with the
deliberate intention of killing his sis-tar-in-taw,,
Mrs. George Cartwright,
and his nephew, David Powell, seems
certain -br the light of developments
since the tragedy'..,,. On the morning of
the crime, Lawrence Cartwright and
bis wife had a quarrel over some mat
ter, so the wife states, and shortly af
terwards as he looked out a window
Cartwright saw Powell riding on his
horse, going towards his brother's
home on the Brown ranch. He immed
iately took l.V automatic revolver and
in reply to a question of his wife, stat
ed that he was going to "get" pow

He- disconnected -the telephone so
his wife could not give warning, and
rode towards his brother's home. Mr.

( chine. George Cartwright noticed that
.his brother had a weapon and asked
.him wTry he carried It. Lawrence an
were&that he was going to kill Pow
! ell, of whom he seemed to be jealous
' . - . ' in m v: u.u
on account 01 n iming iur m wur
er's wife, of whom he'himself was in
sanely jealous. George Cartwright
talked his brother out of the idea of
killing Powell, and it was thought by
all that the trouble was over.
Presently . Lawrence Cartwright
turned to his brother's wife and ask
ed: "Are. you going berrying with
us?,'?. "No," Bhe answered; "certainly
not after the way you have acted this
morning.!' "All right," said Cartwright
and as he spoke drew his gun and fired
two shots at the woman, killing her in
stantly. Powell was. his next intended
victim and as he fired at him the let
ter ran into a woodshed, his pursuer
emptying his gun at him. Cornering
Powell in the shed, as he was reload
ing, the former begged Cartwright not
to shoot, but he replied, "I came to kill
you and I'm going to do it." Powell
then find and as he ran several more
shots were fired by his assailant. He
reached his horse and got away to the
Richard Cartwright' ranch. Lawrence
aCrtwright then went out to the road,
and blew his own brains out.
Powell is now in the hospital at
Huntington, his parents being with
him, and it is believed that his chanc
es for recovery are slinght, although
this afternoon he was holding his own,
according to report from the hospital.

fruit. The pear crop will also be short,

as the country develops false ideas re
garding the. agricultural possibilities
of central Oregon are being exploded.
It has often been declared that to
matoes cannot be grown here on' ac
count'of" the altitude. That this is er
roneous is proved by a rancher, M. G.
Coe, who has a fine crop on his place
here this summer and is deriving a big
profit by the sale of them on the local
market, , - i-
