"And it is further ordered that all proceedings in this case be saved in definitely until such recovery." Before being led back to jail to await preparations for the trip to the asylum, Schrank asked: 'I had expected that they would find me insane, because it was in the .papers two days ago. I want to say now that I am sane and know what I am doing all the time. I am not a lunatic and never was one. I was called upon to do a duty and have done it. '"The commission has sworn away my life. Each member went on the stand and said I was incurably insane. They can do what they want with me now. They can bury me alive if they see fit. I don't care what, happens now." ; Committment was pronounced after the presentation of an exhaustive re port of the commission, in which the defendant was unanimously udjudged. insane. It declared that his delusions were "grandiose in character and of a systematic variety," and included numerous communications written by Schrank. GLADSTONE PASTOR Rev. R. Li.

T IS CALLED BIGAMIST A modest divorce suit filed here Oct ober 3, 1912, in which Ida B. Cawley sued Charles A. Cawley, has assumed embarrassing proportions for the de fandant, for Mrs. Cawley has written to County Judge Beatie a letter from Forest Grove, in which she says she and Charles A. Cawley were married in November, 1911. Cawley, she says, represented to her that his wife wy dead when tney were married, and that he wised her to help him raise his four motherless children. Shortly afterwards she became suspicious and her husband "said he would go and he did go," according to Mrs. Cawley's letter. A short time ago site saw a notice of the divorce suit being filed by wife No. 1, and wrote to inyestigate. Her letter gives names of all the children in the case that correspond, so it is believed to be the same man. . ASKS FOR DECREE. Nancy Martin Houghton filed suit Friday for divorce against Samuel N, Houghton. They were married in Newport, Oregon, June 14, 1910.

AND OREGO M 1 RIVAL FOOTBALL TEAMS TO HAVE BIG CONTEST IN AL BANY AGGIES WEAKENED BY INJURIES Varsity Eleven "m Good Trim for Game and Have Slight Advantage in Back Field Teams Weigh X Even ALBANY, Nov. 22. -(Special) Ev erything is in readiness for the battle 'tomorrow when O. A. C. will . meet Oregon in the annual game. Past per formance points to O. A. C. as having the advantage in the big battle, though on the eve of the fray, it is reported that several O .A. C. men are on the injured list and that the team is not playing up ' to standard. "Hunky" Shaw cannot play in the game accord ing to Dr. Stewart, without an opera tion. This means that should the del licate operation be performed and he goes into the game against the uni versity, he will be in a weakened con dition. Shaw has had considerable difficulty with his breathing, since the accident last Saturday and after care ful examination by the physicians, it was discovered that several of the bones in his nose were displaced. Kel logg and May are ill. Kellogg report ed lor practice But after a little work he was forced to retire. May sprain ed his knee slightly, but it is not thought that the injury will keep him out of the big game. A tentative comparison of the line ups of the contenders as they take the field shows that there will be but little difference in weights. Oregon wil have whatever advantage there is with the line, and backfields pretty evenly bal anced. None of the conference elevens has been able to make - much yardage through O. A. C. lines this season and it is problematical what the Oregon backs and tackles can accomplish. Arrangements have been made for the rooters of each team to appear on the gridiron for serpentine, each line to be given seven minutes betwen halves. The real start of the trouble at Corvallis two years ago occured when the two lines of rooters met up on the field at the same time. Today the yellow and green line will appear first. The Oregon rooters ,wil go directy from the train to the football field, which is near the track. After the game they will return at once. No dif ficulties are anticiuated, but it is ar ranged that none will be possible. In addition to patrolling carefully the field for disorder, no betting will be al lowed. In previous years, much money has changed hands over the annual game. mm , OF CLARKS, IS DEAD Mrs. Alvina Elmer died Wednesday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fred Lindau, of Clarkes, of can cer of the stomach.

COLLAPSED YOUNG WOMAN HAS CHARMED LIFE Near Death in Three Accidents She Escapes Without Injury Visits Relatives Here Miss Eva Alldredge, daughter of Frank Alldredge, of this city, who was the only person in the part of the Marquam Building, Portland, that col lapsed at the time of the accident, bears a charmed life, according to her ' friends. She has been nearer death three times in the past two years, and only once suffered injury. While she was visiting her grandfather, W. W. Myers, s two years ago, a horse ran away with her, and although she fell from the saddle and was dragged mre than a block, she was only slight ly injured. When the hcrse was stop ped and she was carried into the home of a neighbor it was found that she had sustained only a few bruises. Miss Aiulredge was warned before the ac cident that the horse was wild, but said she did not care, and was proceed ing finely when the saddle turned. Her foot caught in a stirrup and her head dragged on the pavement. - While visiting her mother, Mrs. Ab ner Dillman, at Powell River, British Columbia, last summer, Miss All dredge, devoted much of her time to fishing and canoeing on Powell Lake. One day while alone on the lake she was caught in a storm and her craft was driven several miles in the di rection of an Indian reservation. It finally caught in bushes and she was forced to swim to shore, A squaw at the reservation acted as her guide to the home of her mother. "I don't know whether I bear a charmed life or not", said Miss All dredge, who was visiting her father Friday, "but I do know if I had re mained in the building much longer I would have been killed." Miss Alldredge, who is night tele phone operator for the Equitable Hos pital Association, was answering a tel ephone !all when she beard the first crash. She looked out of a window "at the northwest corner of the building and wa3 almost- instantly blindedby what she thought was smoke, but was in reality dust. "I called up the manager of the company and a physician who had an office in the building," said Miss All dredge. "I asked them what I had bet ter do. At this time I could feel the floor giving way under me. They ad vised that I get out as soon as possible. There were several more telephone calls, however, and the floor kept slip ping. Finally I went into my sleeping room and gathered up some of my clothing and hurried from the build ing. When I got down stairs I saw that the three floors under the one where I was working had fallen and the fourth floor was sagging. I watched the building for awhile and then went to the home of a friend. After getting several hours sleep I went back to the building intending to go to my room and get some more clothing. The police, however, refused to let me en ter, and while I was arguing with them the remainder of the northeast section fell. I was lucky I was not al lowed to go to my room". Miss Alldredge returned from a visit to her mother about two months ago and at once obtained the position .with the Equtable Hospital Association.

Per Week, 10 Cents SLAYER TO AID IN EXHUMING BODY LAD, WHO KILLED STEPFATHER, "WILL GO WITH SHERIFF TO SCOTT'S MILLS ' I DEFENDED SELF," SAYS PRISONER Boy Declares Man Tried to Stab Him and that He Used Ax as Last Resort Lad Repeats Story ' ; Glenn E. Gault, the ii-year-old ranch-' er, who, driven by remorse and the pleadings of his mother, Thursday night surrendered in Portland, con fessing to the murder of his step-father, D. M. Leitzel, near Scottt's Mills, was self-composeJ and apparently hap py when brought to this city Friday afternoon by Sheriff Mass. The. lad repeated the story of the killing, giv ing new details, and insisted that he be allowed to go with the authorities to his home and point out the grave of the man he killed tnd assist in ex huming, the body. The boy, Sheriff Mass, Coroner Wilson, and Assessor Jack will go to Scott's Mills 'today, starting at 6 o'clock in the morning. They expect to return late tonight or early Sunday morning and will bring the body with them. ' I killed ,ny step-iather in self de-. fense", said the boy. "He had skinned mother out of $400 and every time I mentioned the money he threatened me. When I mentioned it the last time he had a knife in his hand, and said he would cut my heart out, at the same time making, ajunge at me with the knife. I was cutting wood and struck him on the head with the side of the ax. I did not intend to kill him,, but he suffered so much I thought it best to end the job. I struck ' twice more before he died. Then I was in a quandary. I did not know whether to tell the neighbors what I had done or get rid of the body. Fin ally I decided to bury the body. My mother frequently asked me if I had killed my step-father, declaring that she did not believe he had gone away with a stranger with whom he was engaged in a land deal in Eastern Ore gon. When I left home .to go to work on the milk ranch at Asloria my moth er asked me to admit the killing, in case I was'guilty. . I refused then but the thing preyed upon my mind until I decided the only way I could relieve my conscience was to surrender my self arid make a confession '. Sheriff Mass said that the only wit ness against the boy was the lad him self. If he sticks to his story of self defense and no other witnesses are obtained, it is doubtful if he can be convicted. The worst feature of his story, the authorities say, is the ad mission that after rendering his step father unconscious, and realizing his condition was serious, he delivered two more blows. County Judge Beatie who was sheriff when the crime "was committed, said he was told several days later that the man had disappear ed, but it was supposed he had gone to Eastern Oregon. v George C. Brownell and Gordon E. Hayes have been retained as counsel by the defendant.
