DR. E. A. 80MMER AND J. U. CAMP
BELL WOUL BE MAYOR.
Both Oppose Perpetual Franchise-
South End Road May
Spring Candidate.
Oroicon Clty'g municipal election to
he held Monday, Docemlxjr 6, will bo
a hot one. It will be In striking con
trant with that of the iBHt two pre
cueding electlonn when Mayor Dim
Ick wan elected without opposition.
J. U. Campbell and Ur. E. A. Bom
mr are In the flKht and will stay
to the finish, and there In a tttronx
probability that third candidate
may be named before' the time of
flection. Among; the possible candi
dates In thla connection have been
gUKReated Chan. AlbrlKht, H. L. Kelly,
J, J. Cooke, O. A. Harding and R.
Koerner.
J. t'. Camplell, ex-chairman of the
Republican County Central Commit
tee and former deputy proHccutlng
attorney, will be candidate of the Re
publican city convention and expects
to have the backing of the party or
ganization. Mr. Campbc!! realizes
that he will be opposed by an element
within the Republican party that does
not think politlcH should be intro
duced Into the management of city
affair which have for yearn been so
successfully managed on a non-partisan
basis. Mr. Campbell feels justi
fied In asking the support of the Re
publicans of the city for election as
mayor for the yeara of service he has
rendered bis party. With the support
of bis political friends and his person
al friends, Mr. Campbell feels that
he will be able to win the race in
the face of even a three-cornered
fight. Mr. Campbell opposes the S.
P. perpetual franchise, declares for
the Immediate building cf the South
End Road and a business administra
tion of the city affairs.
Or. A. B. 8omtner's candidacy is
being vigorously pushed by himself
and friends. Dr. Sommer la Repub
lican, but does not think politics
should be allowed to enter into the
management of city affairs and for
that reason be will ask for the elec
tion on a citizen's ticket Dr. Som
mers hag announced his positive op
position to the proposed S. P. perpet
ual franchise ordinance, and, if elect
ed, will use his every endeavor to
secure the early completion of the
South End Road. He says that la
vent of his election he will not be
hampered by political obligations of
the past or influenced in bis official
relations to the municipality by any
consideration of political reward and
k4v ancemcnt hi the- future, but will
T . . . . . . . -
be in position to give tne people of
Oregon City the best business admin
istration of Its government
With the division of the anti-franchise
strength between Campbell and
Sommer, it Is, expected the franchise
people will improve the opportunity
and at the last minute spring a candi
date. But there exists a question as
to whether or not any candidate,
standing squarely for the granting of
a perpetual franchise, could gain the
election even with three candidates
in the field.
For City Treasurer, F. J. Meyers,
who will seek to succeed himself,
has no opposition as yet
The other subordinate city officers
are elective by the council or ap
pointive by the Mayor and regardless
of who may be elected Mayor, It is
certain that the percc-"el of those
ofticers will be changed after the first
of the year, since some have lined up
with Campbell and others with Som
mers already. ,
There irill also be a lively contest
In the different wards In the election
of councilman. Except the pending
injunction suit Is settled In the courts
In the meantime, the direct issue In
the election of councllmen will be on
the franchise question.
Alderman E. D. Kelly, Wm. Sheahan
and E. F. Story are the retiring coun
cllmen from Wards One, Two and
Three, respectively.
Mr. Story will be a candidate for
alderman from Ward One, In which
he now resides. Wm. Sheahan has
consented to be a candidate for an
other term to succeed himself, while
Sam Francis and Ed. Harrington are
after the nomination and election
from Ward Three. W. J. Wilson will
probably oppose Mr. Story for coun
cilman In the First Ward.
A mass meeting of Rppubllcans has
born called to bo held at Willamette
Hall, Saturday evening when a full
ticket will be named and a Republi
can City organization formed. It Is
generally known that Mr. Campbell
will be the choice of the convention
for Mayor.

WAS IT MURDER ?
BODY OF MRS. PETER BROWN IS
FOUND AT HER HOME.
Circumstance Surrounding Case Are
Mysterious. May Have Died
Inquest Held.
Returning to his home five miles
south of Molalla last Thursday night,
after an a line nee of three months.
Peter Brown found the body of his
wife lying In a pool of blood with other
evidence surrounding that Indicated a
cowardly murder. The body was In
an advanced state of decomposition
and Its features were almost unrecog
nlzahle. There were blood stains
about the floor and the bed linen was
likewise stained, and the apartments
were badly disordered.
, Coroner Holman was notified Fri
day morning and went to the scene
of the gruesome find where an in
quest was held, the Jury finding that
the deceased was Johanna Mas son
Brown, wife of Peter Brown, aged 62
years and that she came to her death
at a date uncertain, but not less than
four weeks ago from causes unknown
to the Jurors. This verdict was sup
plemented by a statement concluding
that there were in evidence circum
stances that might indicate death by
violent and criminal means at the
bands of a person or persons unknown
to the Jury.
Mr. Brown found the body of his
wife lying on the kitchen floor near
the stove, the door to the house being;
locked with a key on the outside.
Fragments of partially burned cloth
ing scattered about the floor bore
mute evidence of an attempt to burn
the building after the commission of
the crime. So bauly decomposed was
the body that the Jury was unable to
determine In what manner the woman
came to her death. While there were
no broken bones. It Is the supposition
that the woman was choked and
strangled to death.
Testimony was offered at the In
quest to the effect that Mr. Brown
was last seen alive September 26, and
the murder, if such it was, was prob
ably committed soon thereafter, since
the woman bad been dead tor about
four week. No suspicion attaches to
the husband, who is a laboring man
accustomed to leaving home for
weeks at time to procure employ
ment in the lumber camps, leaving hia
wife at home alone.
August 18, last, Brown left home
and did not return until yesterday ev
ening. It la reported however, vhat
Brown was at times cruel to his wife,
whom he obliged to work hard, and
frequently chastised her severely.
Brown and hi wife were hard-working,
industrious people, especially
economical and saving, expending
from their earnings only what waa
actually necessary for their Immedi
ate wanUT It waa generally believed
by the neighbors .that the couple had
hoarded their savings, which were
secreted about the building In which
they lived.
The scene of the tragedy ia five
miles south of Molalla, and four mllea
east of Marquam, in a secluded and
unfrequented district There are but
few families residing in the neigh
borhood. This explains the belated
discovery of the murder. The house
In which the crime wu committed Is
about three miles distant from the
scene of the murder of a man named
Brown, who was found dead at a
lonely place in the road about nine
years ago, having been shot Sus
pects were arrested, but1 no convic
tions were secured.
Sunday Coroner Holman received a
letter from J. W. Groshong. of Mar
quam, who explained that the neigh
bors of the Brown woman think they
have discovered the' cause of her
death. They have found where she
had been fighting fire near her house
and the supposition Is that she be
came overheated from the vtgoroua
exercise and died, while others think
her clothing may have caught fire and
she died from the injuries. This
theory sounds reasonable, but there
will probably be an occasion for in
vestigation by the authorities until
some explanation is had for the find
ing of the key on the outside of the
door which was locked, this state
ment having eeen ' made by Mr.
Brown.
