Whitney Monday morn ing at 8 o'clock. Murray says Whit ney betrayed his sister, Miss Marv Murray, under promise of marriage aim tnen retuscU to keep his word and save her from imminent (lis grace. I lie tragedy occurred at the homeof Whitney's sister, Mrs. Anna Porter, 360 IJast Harrison street roruaiui. 1 tic stayer is at years out, resides with his parents at I'm vcrsuy rarK, niui is employed in tile renlusuia lath mill. Whitney was 22 years old, and had resided at his parents' home at Hubbard, Marion county. The sister is 19 years of age. After killing his sister s be trayer, Murray ran to a car, boarded it, went direct to the sheriff's office and gave himself up. I he tragedy followed an earnest discussion ns to whether or not Whitney should marry the sister. Murray did all the talking. He begged, coaxed, pleaded mid fin ally threatened. Whitney was eva sive until the very last. Murray then drew a 38 caliber revolver and fired three shots. One )euetrated the head, another the tight breast and n third the right side. Any one of the shots would havcicsulled ...II.. a. . laiiiuy. ucntii came tn uiioui 30 minutes. The tragedy is a teculiarlv sad one, in nMiitich ns the brother in his endeavor to save his sister from dis grace, brings more publicity mid uotoiiety to the case than would otherwise have been the result. While the murdered one certainly deserved to be punished the method adopted was n rash one. '1 he parents of the girl deserve much sympathy in their great trouble in their old age. 1 he outcome of the young man s trial will be watched with interest and is likely he will cscajK! with lit tle or no punishment.

Sam- burg is charged with abusing, strik ing and beating his wife. The of fense is alleged to have been com mitted on the night of the 7th inst. at the Samberg home on Hurling ton street. l'lie news of the aliened assault caused considerable comment in the' city and Samberg was roundly cen sured. A reiMHt was to the effect that Mrs. Samberg's face was badly battered and one eye black nud blue and bloodshot, The Samberg home consists of two families Mr. and Mrs. G. V.

A lumber syndicate owns practically the whole of the town and there isnothing for sale. Prob ably when this syndicate gets every thing coopered up fast as they want it Umpire will look up. iJcnd is n one man town. Uv this I mean that one man does every thing in, around and for lleud.

"Real estate is high. It is not within teach of the ordinary purse. In fact you can buy Coos Hay prop erty cheaer in Portland than you can on the ground. The country is very rough and hilly. There me some fine valleys and splendid farms. All the farmers go to mar ket in gasoline launches. There are very few farmers' teams seen in the towns. "When the bar and the haihor is dredged out so that shipping will 1 not be hindered, a great deal of $ business will be done. To my mind : Umpire is to be the town. It has 1 the right location. The reason that , no real estate is on the market mid 4 that the mills arc idle I could not as certain. There is a good demand for property and ienple looking for investments are going in by the hundred. Ilo.its bring the limit of passengers. As to the much talked of railroad I learned that ns yet no right of way has been obtained. Until something tangible develop in the way of a railroad the country will not develop. As I said belore it is n good country nud a rich one, but it will he some time before it is ripe." St. Johns Land C PHONE UNION 3104 The Largest ami Oldest Real Estate Finn in St. Johns.
