Brumfield's car at the foot of an em-
DaoiRment on a
country road near
here.
The killing was followed by a long
controversy as to the dead man's
identity. Mrs. Brumfield and numer
rns friends declaring it was Dr.
Brumfield's body that was found,
ihiie others maintained that Russell
was the dead man.
Dr Brumfield later was captured in
Canada while working on a farm and
retvJned here. His defense has been
that he suffered a lapse of memory
from ihe Sunday preceding the death
of Russell until after his capture.
The prosecution Is proceeding on
the allegation that Erumfield killed
Russell and staged the automobile
wreck with the view of either swin
dlincj insurance companies or of ae-
serting his family for another woman.
More Bars Found.
Deputies Hopkins and Webb later
searched the jail cell and located two
large iron Bars, n oak civ.c ana a
quantity of wire. Balliet then ad
mitted to the officers that he had
attempted to break down the cell
door.
Brumfield still maintained a stol-

said: "I had nothing to do wtih it."
The night watchman stated that he
heard no noise in the cell during the
night.
Had Balliet succeeded in opening
the door, he could have escaped from
the corridors of the jail very easily
and so could Brumfield. Balliet will
be confined in an interior cell tonight.

LEGISLATURE

FUNDS EXPECTED
Rumors at State Capitol Run
High; Other Matters
May Be Talked
SALEM, Ore., Sept. 14. To work
out the tax programme for the 1925
exposition a special session of the
legislature will have to be called, so
that the required .bill and constitution
al amendment can be referred to the
people at the primary election in the
spring.
The prospect of a special session is
beginning to intrigue the members
and the veterans of the "third house."
No one knows wben Governor Olcott
will issue the call and statements
even are made that no such call will
be issued, but the method of financing
the exposition will require, for speed,
summoning the lawmakers to Salem.
Once a special session is convened
it can operate for 20 days. The spe
cial session of 1920 ran one week, al
though some of the members were
quit.3 willing to extend it to the con
stitutional limit. Once the members
are called to order they can do as
they please and cannot be confined
to dealing) with the exposition bill
alone.

FIRE ON ROAD
TO OATFIELD
ISCONTROLLED
ENTIRE DISTRICT WAS
ENDANGERED
Volunteer Fighters Check
Blue and Prevent
Serious Damage
Volunteer fire fighters from Glad
stone, asisted by folk from Glen Echo
and other nearby settlements, spent
the greater part oj Tuesday oattling
a brush and timber fire along the
Oatfield road. Wednesday they
were relieved by other fire fighters,
who carried on the work, endeavoring
to confine the flames to the eastern
side of the highway.
The fire this morning had covered
an area about a mile and a half long
and from half a mile to a mile wide.
Most of it was in brush and slashings,
but some timber stands were being
destroyed. The extreme dryness of
everything makes the work of check
ing the blaze extremely difficult. It
is supposed the blaze started from a
grass fire.
The fire Tuesday night lighted the
sky brilliantly, and- many people
thought that it was a cdntinuation of
the brush fire that started at Bell
Station hill, on the Estacada line, near
Portland, last Friday, and which has
since been buring its way southward.
The Oatfield road fire, however,, is
separate from the other one, though
'he Bell station fire has already
traveled over four miles of territory,
and if not extinguished may sweep up
into the Damascus country.
GLADSTONE. Sept. 14. (Special).
The slashing fire betwen the Oat
"ield and Webster roads which got
beyond control Tuesday night, was
aided by the high winds and did much
damage to the standing timber as
well as totally destroying 350 cords
if wood, most of which belonged to
5. Stevens, of Oak Grove.
At eleven o'clock a S. O. S. call
was sent to Gladstone. Many
men responded and at l:3o it was
thought to be practically under con
trol and many returned to their
homes when it again broke out. Thra
he efofrts of Eugene Vedder, O. Froy
tag, Dr. Nash, Attorney Hammond and
Mr. Laidlaw, it was fought buck and
the men returned to their hemes at
3:30 Wednesday morning. Several
"arge trees fell across the road and
much damage done to fences and
girain fields. More than 150 ' acres
was fire swept. The scene of the fire
is about three and a half miles North
east of Gladstone. Men were still
watching to prevent another outbreak
