BUT HIS MURDERERS SOUGHT HIM OUT FOR DEATH. . He Crouched Behind a Secret Door . He Pleaded for Mercy and Promised Fverything if -Life Could be Spared ; They Shot him as he Pleaded. Belgrade, Servia, June 11. King Alexander s nd Queen Draga were assassinated duriug the military revolutions which broke out at 2 o'clock this morning in the' streets of Belgrade. , - A proclamation waa, posted in the streets an hour afterward stating that Their Majesties had been shot to death in their apartments in the palace. Public opinion has been strong against; the king, and queen for months, and especially in army cir cles has the sentiment against the rulers been pronounced. : ... The outbreak this morning was precipitated by the highhandiness of the king under the influence of Queen Draga. For' months hare mutteringa been heard, and the in tense feeling has been smouldering, and the king's act of stifling popu lar voice at the recent election . by forced ministerial action was the last straw. The first intimation of serious trouble, however, was not manifes't until last night, when murmurings began to be beard, until with a roar the army at 2 o'clock this' morning broke all bounds and started the revolution. The palace was the first point of attack and thither the military mob rushed. : . The Evening , Star's Belgrade correspondent wires that the bodies of the dead King Alexander and Queen Draga were buried in a pit. early this morning at Rakbnitza as a mark of ignominy. . Alse that the bodies of the royal couple's relar tives and murdered statesmen were thrown in on top of them and then the earth filled in. . . v There is great credence given to this report, although it is also stat ed that the funeral of the victims of the assassination will be held Sun day. : This is not looked upon with much reliability, as no one in Bel grade seems : to know ... where the bodies are, which further substan tiate the story of the ignominious burial. Semlin, Hungary. June 13 From an intimate personal friend of the new premier of- the Servian provisional government, Avakumo- vica, the Associated ' Press corres pondent has received the following account of the tragedy in Belgrade. wnicn ne is assurea is aosoiuieiy authoritative: . Six weeks ago one of the officers in the secret warned the king of what was going on, when all the of ficers concerned were transferred to points in the interior, the king fear ing to take stronger measures against them." About the same time a cer tain woman was sent to Geneva to see Prince Peter - Karageorgevich and submit to him a proposition that he come to Servia as king up on bis agreeing to accept a new con stitution based on liberal princi ples. Prince Peter accepted the conditions. As soon as the con spirators obtained the assurance that the kingdom would have a new sovereign, they decided to kill Alexander and Queen Draga. . i v Colonel Mascnin, Queen Draea's brother-in-law,' was the ' leader of the conspiracy. A number of offi cers came to Belgrade from interior posts on me night ot the tragedy and supped together at the Ser- bische Kron restaurant, where the final details were arranged. At midnight they proceeded from the restaurant to the palace, and forced the door leading to the royal apart ments,5 using dynamite . ' When they entered they ' could find . no body,' the king and queen,' alarmed by the noise oft heir approach, hav ing concealed themselves. For two whole ' hours the officers hunted through every- nook and corner of the royal apartments without suc cess.' men tney found the king's adjutant, Lazar Petrovics, and com pelled him to lead them to the king's hiding place. He took them to the bathroom and pointed to a secret door in the wall, opening up on a staircase leading to the' roof. Behind this door crouched the king ana queen. ... When the conspirators were as sured of their pray they shot and killed the adjutant. Meanwhile the king fell upon his ' knees ' and begged for life, offering to yield to every demand, to sign any docu ment, to agree to leave the country or to-send iuen .Draga away; any thing, everything, if only they would not kill him. , Tbe officers answered roughly, "It is too late," and fired at him. The queen also tell on her knees and asked pardon for her conduct, but one of the offi cers, calling her a degrading epi thet, told her she had been queen lung enough. One of the conspira tors, after submitting the queen to gross indignities, slashed, her with his sword and (he other officers fired at her. The king was also slashed with sabres. The conspirators then dragged the king and queen into tbe front apartments and threw them over the balcony upon the lawn in front of the palace, which is separated from, the street by an iron fence. The king and ' queen lived for one or two hours after ward. . '.' Meanwhile two of the . .officers summoned the queen's two brothers from their hpme to the house of tbe commander of tbe Belgrade divi sion, where they were offered a glass of water and told to bid each other farewell. In the very mo ment they embraced each other, tbe officers Bhot and killed them. One hundred soldiers, commanded by two officers, at the same time sur rounded the house of Minister of War Pavlovics and summoned him to open the door. The minister looked from a window, and the sol diers fired at him, ' wounding him. The Russian military attache, who lived in the same house, hearing the noise, rose and dressed himself in his Russian uniform, and attempted to reemove the minister to his apartment.' The officers ordered him to go away, and -he, seeing the hopelessness of the situation, de parted. The soldiers then entered the house and shot and" killed 'the minister, whose body was left on the floor, and was not discovered until ten o'clock in the morning, when" it was found by his : son-in-law and daughter, who had escaped. Since the tragedy occurred, the real facts of an attempt upon the persons of the king- and queen a month ago have ' become known. The conspirators at that time en gaged the services of a young Bo hemian, the son of a tailor living in Belgrade. He obtained a posi tion in the kitchen of the Grand Hotel of Belgrade to learn cookery. He proved so intelligent that a lit tle later he was given employment in the royal kitchen. Here he again proved very efficient and was entrusted the duty of preparing the food for the royal table, taking it from the cooking utensils, and plac ing it in dishes which he handed to lackeys. . . .. He now began to ' appear very prosperous and took French lessons. He came one day to his teacher, a wido'tf living in Belgrade, in a jubi lant state, wearing a new suit, of clothes, and . saying that he was earning 160 cinars (about $32) per month.. The same evening," while preparing a dish for the king, be mixed poison with tbe food. The head cook detected him in the act and promptly informed the king, and the youth was shot immediate ly. - His parents were brought to tbe palace and told the facts of the case, and were compelled, under threats of deathr to tell everybody that their son had , killed himself. Since the tragedy the youth's par ents have revealed the plot. Vienna, June 12. Neue Press in an article this morniDg states that neither the sisters nor nephews of Queen Draga were killed in Bel grade yesterday. Besides the queen the ' only members of her family murdered were her two brothers. London,. June" 12. The Bueter Agency's . Belgrade correspondent asserts that Alexander and Draga will' be buried secretly in the old cemetery of St. Mark's church, Bel grade, between 1:80 and 3 o clock Sunday morning. ' . With this comes also the report that the bodies have . already, been disposed of by tbe new military. J Members of the former, king s government, who were : imprisoned yesterday were freed 'today. The new king will not arrive here until after both houses - of - parliament have met and arranged the plan of the new government. : . ' , i THEY' NEED RAUL EASTERN OREGON GRAIN FIELDS , BADLY DAMAGED BY HOT ' WINDS AND WEATHER. Fifteen, Thousand Acres of Wheat:, . in Umatilla County Is Ruined i and Will Not Be Worth Cutting Yield Already Reduced One-Fourth , Other News. Portland, June 13. Portland Journal says: .From a conditions that looked favorable for tbe aver age crop throughout the Inland Em pire hot weather and burning-dry north winds within three days re duced the possible yield . by one fourth and cheated the farmers of at least 2,750,000 bushels of grain. Reports reaching Portland nowr indicate that unless weatber condi-r tions are particularly favorable during the remainder of the pres ent month and the early weeks of July, much greater loss will result. Between 10,000,000 and 12,000,090 buBhels of wheat and barley is art average crop for Walla . . Walla,, ' and Columbia counties, Wash., and Umatilla county, Ore., . and- two weeks ago everything pointed , tat . this figure being . realized. -Then came hot weather and dry windsk and hopes were blasted. Private advices received from the , headquarters of the Washington, ' & Columbia River Railway at Walla Walla, are to the effect ' that noth ing like definite figures can as yet be obtained regarding the probable yield, but it is known that a loss of at least 25 per cent, has already been sustained. : , ' From Pendleton, comes the report that in Umatilla county alone there are 15,000 acres of grain from which the sap of life has been licked , by tbe dry winds, leaving it a total loesU It is not. probable j that any .., attempt will be made to harvest this grain at all, the dwarfed and roasted remnants., of what were, once promising grain fields being; burned with tbe stubble in the fall. There are many farms on the Wash ington side of the line which, have been similarly served, but estimates cannot be made with accuracy as - to the percentage that can be sav ed. " After a loss of 25 percent., grain experts claim the farmers of the In laad Empire districts could realize profit on their year's outlay, but, prices would have , to be right and harvesting expenses light. What tbe future has in store in this re gard remains to be seen. - . , The wonderful recuperative powd ers of the Northwest soil and vege tation nourished by it are well known and it is hoped that exactly beneficial weatber conditions dur ing the next few weeks will change tbe complexion of affairs and build up the yield rather than further re duce it. ' . Rain is needed, and needed - bad ly in every inland district. Should , this rain come in the proper meas-w ure and be interspersed with bright , sunshine of the kind that in vigor- ; ates but does not burn, and should the winds remain away it is admit- ; ted there is still a possibility that . the wheat and crops may not end so badly as it now looks. But to ; prevent further loss everything must work together in exactly the : proper proportion to effect an al--most miraculous change. Oregon City, Or., June 13. While intoxicated, Dan Beer,, of Silverton, walked off the bluff at the foot of Fifth street this after- noon and fell to the railroad ttack below, a. distance of 90 feet, and es caped uninjured. That the man es caped with his life is miraculous, for the bluff at ' the scene of the mishap is almost precipitous and is of rocky formation. - Ih'f ailing Beer collided with a . clump of Willows, that arrested his r fall or he would surely have been dashed to death on the . railroad " track'. -Beer has for a number of years been employed on the, river ", steamers on the Willamette and -came to this city this morning from .
