Tekoa, Wash., April 8. "Buck

of whom was over 60 years of age,
returned to their 'camp' from' Spo
kane, where they had gotten - glori
ously drunk, it is said they ' quar
reled and, in a moment of rase.
the squaw killed the old man with
an axe, completing her act . of. ven
geance by cutting- his head-off. -?
In an evident desire to conceal !
her crime she attempted to burn
the dead -Indian, . and during the
cremation Bhe was discovered by
other members of the tribe. The
Indians were horror-stricken, but
gave the dead buck a decent burial.
tor unknown reasons, the squaw
was unmolested, no attempt being
made to bring her to justice. :
1 he story was made public to
day by Mrs.-Mason, an intelligent
half-breed, and there is no doubt
as to the truth of it, and steps will
be taken at once to apprehend the
alleged murderess. "Buckskin"

Reddiug, Cal., April 8. A cabin
has been found where it is believed
the Copley train robbers spent at
least five days before - committing
their holdup and murder.
Wells-Fargo and Southern Pacific
detectives are working on the clue,
but 60 far nothing has - developed
that leads to any suggestion as to
the present whereabouts of the ban
dits. It is beleived that in this lonely
cabin the desperadoes planned - the
deed. The cabin is at Nigger Hill,
one mile west of Kes wick,, and from
all appearances the robbers returned
to theit rendezvous after leaving
the ergice which brought them
back to Keswick station.
The detectives were - told of - thB
cabin by a Western Union lineman
who said he approached it three
days before the holdup and' had
rapped at the door. -A- man ap
peared by opening the door - only s
few inches The ' lineman' said" 'he
beard other voices Vri .the cabin., fie
was not admitted to the place.
The detectives -have - a good de
scription of the map the lineman
8tw at the door. At the bMtom of
a deserted 50-foct shaft the. detec
tives yesterday found the discarded
clothing worn by the ' two robbers
while holding up the train. Five
San Francisco newspapers bearing
consecutive dates for hve days be
fore the crime were found in the
cabin. On these facts the officers
of the law base their opinions that
the murderers occupied the cabin
five days before the holdup, and
that they : returned there after
the deed ha been committed.
San Francisco, April 9. The po
lice have secured evidence that John
A. Limos, an ex-convict, was one
of the men who held up the Oregon
exptees traia ten days ago, and
killed Messenger O'Neill. Corrob
oration of suspicion that has been
directed to Limos was lound in a
cabin west of- Keswick, where the
rbbsrs had their habitation ' before
their commission of the crime. The
cabin is in the hills one mile west
of Keswick, on the Dick Dunn min
ing claim, which has not been oper
ated for several years. The hold
out is in a depression in the moun
tains and off the traveled roads.
The floor was covered with arti
cles that are recognized as having
been used by me a in the -holdup.
There were three masks, two wcolen
and one eatin shirt, a number of
.jehotgun shells, a piece of old strap

others look -more like apes than hu

Santa Barbara, Cal., April 10.
A street-car loaded. with passengers
returning to town from the , Old
Mission ran off the track at Garden
and Mission streets today and five
deaths have resulted. ; All of the
dead -were Santa - Barbara people.
Oyer t wenty of the -passengers were
injured,' many. of them being fright
fully mangled. - Oyer half of the in
jured bad bones broken about the
body .and not a few of them suffer
ed serious fractures of the skull.
The accident was due to a defect
in the brake apparatus, as was re
vealed upon an inspection of the
car, after the accident. .. While the
rear -brakes were tightiy set againBt
the wheels, the forward brakes were
of ne service because of the breaking
of a part of the gearing.
I he motorman discovered that
something was wrong with the car
several blocks- above, the . point
where the accident occurred and en
deavored to set the brakes, but fail
ed to check the speed of the car. At
the intersection of Garden and Mis
sion streets there is a sharp curve,
and the car was moving at its high
est speed down a 5 per cent grade
when the curve was reached
The car- was thrown from . the
track upon its Bide, the passengers
being-thrown in evety direction
One section of the car was smashed'
into splinters. -Those who were in
grafting for Oscar Leonard has
reached that successful staee when
his finger, which he held to his face
in a vice of bandages and iron, has
been amputated and left pre trading
to form the base of a nasal organ.
The finger was severed Saturday at
the University . hosoital bv Dr.
Charles H. Frazier. who has under
taken to BUPolv- Leonard." .hrurn
without a nose, with an almost nr-
fect one.-' - - . --? -,-', . .,
Dr. Willits and Dr. Van . Kalho
ver assisted in" the operation. . It
was found that the' union of the
cuticles of finger and face has de
veloped such a healthy growth that
the hand could." be severed from the
finger without waiting another week
the third as was at first suggest
ed mignt oe neceseary. . To wait
another week would probably have
meant failure, as Leonard was weak
ening under the mental strain of
seeing his band grow, fast to his
face. Once he tore his finger away.
and the second effort in his deliri
um warned the surgeons - that no
time must be lost in freeing the
hand from the grafted finger. -
They are sunworshipers, and 'the
next deity in order of importance is
the bear. Hivery new year they have
a great feast to the bear, a feast
which lasts for several days, and is
marked by the eatiog of human
flesh. The race is indolent and the
people are selfish and so barbarous
that Prof. Starr of the Chicago U-
niversity, says they almost form
the missing link between men and
animals.
Philadelphia, April, 2. Three
weeks have now elapsed since
Thomas Emerson's heart was sewed
up in the Jefferson -hospital and
there is still every reason to believe
that the negro will in a few weeks
be able to leave the hospital.,
iLmerson walked hve squares af
ter a-knife had penetrated his heart,
and when the heart was exposed by
the surgeon's kmie it was . found
that the wound was large enough
to require six stitches. The right
lung had also been punctured and
was collapsed. . ,
The pleura was opened and the
blood, scooped out. The pleura was
then- dressed again and the heart,
aner 11 naa Deen sutured it was
necessary to take the heart entirely
out of the trunk to perform the op
eration was put back into place
without having caused any inter
ruption of its functions.
.. Afterward septic pleurisy set in,
and the surgeons supposed it was
all over with Emerson. But he re-
covered from the pleurisy two
weeks a ga: Then septic pneumo
nia set in, and that is now what he
is recovering from.
who were moet seriously injured
were standing upon the guard rail
on the side of the car as it crashed
into the ditch.
As soon as the news of the acci
dent spread throagbout the city ev
ery available physician was sent to
the aid of the injured and many
prominent residents of the city were
among, those who aided the suffer
ing and dying. A majority of the
injured were taken to the hospital
and the remainder were removed
to their homes.
Vienna, April 8. In one of the
most terrific earthquakes in its his
tory the village of Keesevo, Seloni
ca, in Macedonia was, on Monday,
devastated and the greater portion
of the population - rendered home
less. Twenty-five persons were kill
ed and 40 others injured. The
death list according to the account
received here may be increased.
' The earthquake was preceded by
the usual rumbling, but as that
portion of the country has felt shocks
no apprehension was felt. To this
is undoubtedly due the large loss
oiine. xwo aistinct shocks were
felt, the second being the most vio
lent. '
Houses melted away like dust
and in a few seconds 1,500 of them
were mere ruins, with the inhabi
tants in some instances buried be
neath the fallen timbers."
Great distress has resulted and
an appeal has ' been made t the
government for aid, in which" it is
declared that in addition to 1,500
families rendered homeless the food
Eupply is inadequate.

Joarnal: Unless delayed on her
journey, Mrs. Emma L. Wateon,
the last of the alleged gang of swind
lers who are said to have defrauded
the government out of thousands
of dollars by land frauds will reach
this city tonight in the custody of
federal officers from Chicago. Dis
trict Attorney Hall was notified to
day that the woman would arrive

The others were apprehended and
placed under heavy bonds te secure
their appearance for trial before the
federal court.
the woman, however eluded ar
rest ULtil Sunday, when she waa
taken into custody in Chicago.
Since January she has played a
hide and-seek game with the offi
cers, successfully avoiding the most
vigilant efforts of the officers to
cause her arrest. She is said to
have been forced to use a number
of aliases, amor g them are Mrs.
Puter, and Mrs. Porter. At times,
it is said, ebe has been known as
the wife of S. A. D. Puter. who is

fashionable hotel in Chicago, and

tination until after the woman has
arrived in Portland. -'
As scon as she reaches the city
she will be taken before Judge Bel
linger of the United Slates court
and arraigned. It is said that she
will have no difficulty in raisicg
the bail necessary to secure her lib
erty.
Portland, April 8. The Journal
says: Word was received by the
officials of the Lewis and Clark cor
poration and .state commission, at
11:45 this morning that the bill ap
propriating $475,000 for : the fair
bad passed the house at 2 o'clock
without division. The Philippine
bill occupied the morning session
of the house', "according "to the ad
vices received by the fair officials,
and this accounted for the delay in
the fair bill's passage. The meas
ure was slated for consideration at
the morning session of the House.
; Immediately .on. receipt of the
news the corporation officials held
an informal jubilation in the office
of Director General Goode and Sec
retary Reed monopolized the tele
phone for an hour spreading the
good tidings to the leading business
men 01 the city; -
"I am gratified at the news, "said
Director- General Goode when he
heard of the bill's passage. "We .
are now able to proceed with the
many things that have been waiting
on the congressional appropriation
and from now on the exposition's
affairs can move unhampered.
For weeks all work has been , de
layed and all plans have been held
up pending final action by congress.
The corporation found many obsta
cles that could be only overcome
when all was definitely settled and
until it was known just what the
government would be willing to do
no definite building plans of any
sort could be considered. Begin
ning tomorrow a new era in the
work of the corporation is promised.

Philadelphia, April 3. Noe
London, April 11. No confirma
tion has reached London of the va
rious rumors, most of which came
by way of Paris, of land fighting,
landings by the Japanese troops on
the Liao Tung peninsula, the cap
ture of Japanese troops bn Rus
sians, etc. Dispatches from vari
ous points agree that the Russians
have completely evacuated Corea,
but beyond this there is little relia
ble news.
A Chefoo dispatch which reached
London by way of Rome asserts
that the Japanase squadron with
20 steamers was eeen making for
Port Arthur.
Tbe equadron of Admiral Wirtn
ius left Cherbourg yesterday for the
Baltic.
On the occasion of Easter the
czar conferred numerous decora
tions and promotions upon navy
and army commanders prominent
in the war.
Marquis Ito, President of "the
Japanese privy council, was given
a banquet at Tokio Saturday. He
announced the success of bis mit
eion in establishing cordial rela
tions between the Japanese and
Coreen courts, and said that at his
goveanment's request he had drawn
up an elaborate report onCorean po
litical needs. .
The Japaneee papers ridicule the
idea of the Russian Baltic Sea
squadron evee reaching the Far
East, and do not believe that it will
ever rrake the attempt. -
