D'ANNA SHOOTS BENJAMIN GOHLS0N AT SALEM. Takea to Flight and Kills Himself While Officers Are looking, for - Hitn Kills Man whocaus ed Hie Arrest Other ' News. Salem, Nov. 10. One of the mcst tragic, eeneatiocal and delib erate murders, with an equally trag ic su'.cide as a fitting end of the vefcoie affair, at leaet, so far as crime is'concernsd, tranepired in this city stout 6 o'clock this morning when, in a fit of remorse over the disgrace of a night's debauchery and his sub sequent arrest, Victor E. D'Anna, a civil engineer for tbe Willamette Construction. Ccmpany, and a pop ular society man, deliberately shot and killed Bscjamin Gohlson, an employee of toe Farmers' Feed Stabler, out of revenge, escaped to tbe country and eluded arrest long euongh to reach tbe asylum farm six miles south, where he telephon ed to a friend in the city, and - then calmly went out . behind a near-by woodpile and blew his own brains out with tbe same revolver with which the murder was committed. Coroner Cloogh was notified of the finding of the body, which wa9 identified as that of. D'Anna and is cow reposing in the morgue in this city. D'Anna was popular in cir cles in which he moved and was very brilliant, proud and ambitious. The body will probably be shipped to bis father in Oklahoma. His victim was a steady, sober and in dustrious young farmer boy, and did nothing to merit the tragic fate which he met. - Until he reached .the asylum farm D'Anna was seen only once after leaving the city by the railroad tiack near the Reform School. He was first teen there at 11 o'clock, hatless, pale and nervous, at a tel ephone by A. B. Dilley, an attend ant. Wnen he had finished talk log be turned and walked out of the building, but nodded an indif ferent "How-do-you-do" to a like salutation from Mr. Dilley, and walked across the yard. Five min utes later a hot was heard. His body was found by John Noyan, a farmer, behind a woodpile with a nound in tbe head. D'Anna was in the habit of going out on periodical sprees, and drank heavily all last night and up to an early hour this morning. While in a drunken stupor after his night's carousal, coatless and hatless, he put in an appearance at the Farm ers' stables about 4:30 o'clock this rrornirg, went into the sleeping room occupied by young Gholsoo and went to bed. Gholson called in night Watchman John Longcor, who made D'Auna get up and took him to the police station. D'Anna called up City Recorder Moores by telephone and was released on his own recognizance to appear at 10 o'clock this morning. After being freed he is supposed to have gone to his room, secured his revolver and some cartridges, and returned to the stable, knocked on tbe door acd, when Gholson op ened it, fired one shot, which took effect in Gholson's left breast in the region of the heart. Gholson, who was up and dressed, did not utter a cry, but ran as fast as he could across High street to the Low livery stable. Walter Low the proprietor, saw him stBg ger about and though it was a drunken man. He approached him and when near enough he recogniz ed Gholson in the dim light of dawn and incandescent electric lights, and seeing blood gashing r HOME-SEEKERS If you are looking for some real good bargains in Stock, Grain, Fruit" and Poultry Ranches, write for our special list, or come and see us.

"I am shot," Gholson gurgled in a weak voice, pointed to the region of his wound and eank to the floor. Low hastened to summon a physician,-but Gholson eank rapidly and died in a very few minutes, before Dr. W. H. Byrd arrived. Several persons in tbe vicinity of the scene beard the shot, and a few claim they saw the principal in theold-blooded deed. Edward Ellis, who is employed as bartender in the Senate saloon, across the street on the corner of State and High streets, heard the shot and went outside. He says he saw one man emerge from a small room in the livery .stable and run across the street toward Low's sta ble. Then a secocd man came out and calling to the first one he com manded, "Come back; don't go over there." He then took to his heels, and his retreating footsteps died away in the distance'in a southerly direction on High street. Ellis could recognize neither of the per sons in the early mcrning haze and would not be able to identify either. A white Stetson felt hat, light black serge coat, and an umbrella, positively identified as the property of D'Anna, were found later by the officers in the street in front of a disreputable house, conducted by Mre. Hattie McGinois, at the cor ner of Liberty and Ferry streets. When last Been at the Salem hotel, where he again ealled up Recorder Moore and talked about his troubles over the telephone, shortly before 6 o'clock, and tbe shooting, D'Anna wore a black derby hat and heavier coat of dark material as described by Proprietor P. Fennel. When he finished talking over the tele phone, he asked Mr. Fennel where the young livery man s room was and, upon being informed, went out, and a few minuteB later a shot was heard. When in the custody of officer Longcor, D'Anna was very abusive in his language, and officer Longcor says he repeatedly threat ened to "get" somebody for getting him into trouble. D'Anna believed Gholson had his misaing property in his poeses&ion, and told Officer Longcor: "I will get him for it, 1 will get you, too, before 3 o'clock this after noon." -j, Gholson was about 48 years of age and a son of Edward Gholson, a pioneer farmer near Zsna, Polk county, and bad been emp'oyed at the stables, of which T. M. Jones is now proprietor, for jost one year. D'Anna was about 3o years old, and his relatives all reside in Vir ginia. He has been employed by the Willamette Construction Com pany as engineer in charge of a surveying crew in laying out the line of the Oregon Electric Railroad Company, which is building be tween here and Portland. He was quite popular here and was also well known and popular in Portland Either etung by remorse over the disgrace of lis &r rest for he was of exceedingly proud spirit, or else firmly resolved to kill both Ghol son and officer Longcor and then commit suicide, D'Anna hastily scrawled two notes while in his room, aiter his arrest, one of which was addressed to his father, Signor D'Anna, Oklahoma City, Okla., and the other to Miss Lena Hutton, a young society belle of this city, and sister of tbe wife of State Land Agent Oswald West, with whom he kept company. In the note to tbe latter he said: "Dearest Jake Keep this as the last of my only. Think of me no more. Yours and only yours, Victor." In that to his father be wrote simply: "Good-bye, papa; I can't stand this disgrace. Victtr." All colors of pyrograph leather at Ingle & Tozier's. BUILDING COLLAPSES HUNDRED .ARTISANS ANDJtl LABORERS CARRIED DOWN IN THE RUINS. Citizens of the Town at Once Be gin the Rescue of those Pinned Down by the Wreckage and Tangled Iron Work. Long Beach, Cal., Nov. 9. With no warnitjg save the cries of the workmen who first felt the floors sag beneath their teet, five stories of the central part of the new $250, 000 Bixby Hotel collapeed at 9:35 tbis morning, carrying nine men to death in tbe tons of tangled wreck age. About 150 artisans and la borers were scattered through the structure at the moment it fell, and of theee nearly 100 were carried down in the ruins. Seven bodies have been recovered from the mass of debris in tbe base ment, and one of the injured died late this afternoon at the Long Beacb hospital. 1 he last two vic tims were found at 8 o'clock tbis evening, and the rescue crews are still at work in the hope of uncov ering the body of another man, sup posed to be buried there. Nine injured workmen are being cared for at the hospital, but it is believed that all will recover. All of the men on the contractors' roll are accounted for save one, suppos ed to be still in the ruins. Immediately after the collapse of the structure hundreds of bystand ers lent willing aid in tbe work ot rescue. The Southern Pacific and Salt Lake & Pacific Electric railroads sent crews of laborers to the scene and under the dirwHrn of City Marshal Young, Maur Downs and Contractor Spalding the task of removing the wreckage was begun. Company H, Seventh reg- iment, N. G. C. was called'out and lines were throw.n about the bn tid ing, all but the rescuers being ex cluded. Pitiful scenes were enacted among the throngs who stood outside the lines waiting for news. An aged mother sat all day long on the bluff overlooking tbe hotel, weeping and watching for the body of her sou. Five times the stretcher bearers were called, and, headed by a Cath olic priest, a little processian emerg ed from the building to where the undertakers' wagens were waiting At tbe first call for help the wo men of Long Beach began prepar ing food for the rescuers and estab lished commissary table3 near the building. When it became appar ent that the bottom of the ruins would not be reachtd tonight, lights were placed over the wreckage that the work might not be interrupted. Late in tbe day the Salt Lake rail road brought a steam crane to the bluff behind the hotel, where it conld be used to move the heavier pieces of wreckage. Cornictiog causes are assigned for the collap.e of tbe central wing, and to investigate the disaster a commission of architects and engin eers was this afternoon appointed. Tbe new hotel is built on the beach sands facing the ocean. To this fact Contractor A. F. Soauld- ing attributes tbe disaster, alleging that the footings were insecure and weakened the ttrvctuie. John A. Austin, of tbe firm of Austin & Brown, architects for the building, ascribes the disaster to the premature removal of the sup port of tbe 01 crtte work on tbe fifth floor, alleging that tte cement had been given but three instead of six weeks to "set." Almost without exception tbe men contend that the building felt from the top, carrying the lower floors with it. R. A. Zee, who was taken from the ruins witb his leg gashed and suffering from internal irjuriee, said: "I was at work on theiouith floor of the building nailing down s joist. I noticed four or five laborers carry ing a heavy beam from the front towards the central porth n of tbe building. When they arrived about the center, I saw them let tbe beam fall with unusual violence. ' The whole building shook, and then seemed to crumble and fall be neath all of us. I saw workmen jump in all directions, and In an attempt to escape the wreckage, I fell straight back into theinterior cf the structure. When I etruck the continued on page 4.
