Warden Janet Thinks the $1,500 Should he Paid for Return ol Merrill's Body. Salom, Or.Augustl. First Warden J. T. Janos, of tho Oregon ponltontiary, has created a stir In official circles by giving out an Intorvlow in which ho differed radically from hia superior offi cer regarding tho payment of the re ward for tho return of Merrill's body. Ho contonds that tho whole amount offered for tho capturo und return, of Merrill, $1,600, should bo paid. Sup erintendent Lee offered Mrs. Waggoner $300. Superintendent Leo declines to' say anything regarding Mr. Jane' statement, which ia aa follows: "Sinco thoro is no doubt that tho re covered remains Are those of Morrill, thoro should not bo tho slfghtost hesi tation on tho part of tho Btate in tbe prompt payment to Mrs. Waggqnor of tho entire amount named in tho reward. Tho stato cannot afford to bo niggardly in this matter.) because of tha unpleas ant refutation it will recoive, in fact, has already received throughout tho country in relation to its treatment of tho criminal class. The effect on thn discipline of tho ponltontiary that re sulted In the return to tho instltation and the burial of tho remains of one of tho escaped desperadoes has in .itself been worth moro than tho amount of tho toward. "Thoro is a second, and evongrcator, reason why the rowurd should bo naid Mrs. Waggoner tho failuieof tho state of Oregon to promptly and liberally re ward tho return of .Merrill's body haa discouraged many who havo been pur suing Tracy, and tho result Is that large numbers havo entirely abandoned the search for tho remaining bandit, slaca the hope of adequate roward haa been largely removed by the state's tardy action in the consideration of the elaim presented for the return of Merrill'a body. "Hence, for two distinct .reasoaa, I think Mrs. Waggoner is untitled to tho full reward i First, because she re turned Merrill's body, and because of the beneficial effect resulting in the gen eral discipline of tho institution; sec ond, for tho reason that by Its action in the matter tho atate ta retarding the search for Tracy. I do not wish to be understood aa particularly criticising the judgment of my superiors, but-at tho same tlmo I havo my own opinions, and d do not hesitate to expreaa .myself in tho matter." MINERS AND POLICE. One Killed end Many Wounded In a Rlet aa the Streets of Shenandoah. Shenandoah, August 1. In street fighting tonight between a mob of strik ing minors on ono sldo and doputy shorlffs and police on tho other, 'Jos eph Beddall, a loading merchant, was beaten to doath, two borough police men were shot, one fatally, and more than a score of striken) woro shot by policemon and deputy sheriffs.

Tho workmen wero dreasod in their street clothes, but one of thorn carried a bundle under bin arm and this aroused the suspicions of tho strikers. Tho bundle was torn from him, and when It was found to contain a blotiso and overalls, tha man was taken from the deputy andteataa almost to death. In the meantime, Beddall opened, fire on thn mob which had gathered, and omptied his revolver. Two of tho shots took effect, one man bolng shot in the leg and another in thu foot. The dep uty und thu other strike-breaker war now compelled to fly foi thoir Uvea, and took refuge in tho Philadelphia A Reading railroad station. The station was soon surrounded by an angry mob of 5,000, which was becoming store threatening and demonstrative every moment. Joseph Beddall, a hardware merch ant nnd brother of tho deputy sheriff, waa soon making his way through tha crowd In an effort to reach his brother, and the mob, divining that he was car rying ammunition' to those Inside tha station, struck and beat him with clubs and billies into Insensibility. He died on route to tho Miners1 hospital. Collision In Wisconsin. Kim Grove, Wis., August 1.
