KILLED BY ROBBER
Bartender Attacks a Thief
and is Shot
HE DIES IN A FEW MINUTES
Murderer Gets A-rray Unharmed With
Contents of Saloon Till Officers
Have CI evr Victim "Was
Well Known.
JUNCTION CITY, Or., May 20. A
cold-blooded murder and robbery oc
curred here at 12:15 o'clock this morning.
Ben Tracey, the popular bartender at the
Monogram, while closing the saloon, was
.shot by an. unknown robber and the till
was robbed of Its contents.
It Is known that over $273 -Bras' In the
till and that the thief -was Veil paid for
his bloody work. It Is supposed that the
victim was In the back room closing the
door, when the murderer first made his
appearance: that the till was robbed
while Tracey was there; that hearing:
the warning bell on the bar till, he made a
rush for the front; that the robber
jumped up on the bar, and as Tracey
pulled his revolver, the thief fired. The
range of the bullet was downward and
footprints on the bar bear out these sup
positions. Sheriff Withers and Coroner Griffin, of
Eugene, were notified by wire at once,
and came down this morning to hold an
inquest. The saloon Is owned by Al "Wad
dle, of Portland. Mr. Tracey had been
employed In the house for over a year and
had many friends throughout the Etate.
The shooting was beard by several peo
ple near by. but none of them supposed
that a crime had been committed. The
first shot was only a muffled report, as
the building Is brick, and only when the
Injured man rushed to the front door and
fired his revolver did It dawn on the
jnlnds of those who had heard the two
reports that something was wrong. Fully
five minutes elapsed before the discovery
was made. The body was found reclining
On the drain board, the back to the front
door and the bead lying on one arm, as
if the man were asleep. Those who came
In at firpt supposed from the position the
body was In that Tracey was doling. A
physician was hastily summoned, who
discovered that -Tracey had been shot
through the abdomen. In a few minutes
At the InqueEt it was found that the de
ceased was 53 years of age, had a wife
llIng in Newport, Or., was without ene
mies and that-the only probable motive for
the crime was robbery. At the present
hour very little can be learned of Tra
cey's private life, as he was a very re
served man, and it is not yet determined
what disposition will be made with the
remains. His wife will probably arrive
on the first train from Taqulna Bay. The
authorities have a clew to the robber,
who was a transient
GAMBLER. IS SUSPECTED.
Spent Moat of HIh Time About the Sa
loonMore Details of Crime.
EUGENE, Or., May 20. There. Is no
positive evidence as to who was the mur
derer, but suspicion points strongly
against a gambler who has been in Junc
tion for eeveral deys and spent most of
his tlmo about the saloon. There was no
bther person In the saloon at the time, and
it is generally believed that Tracey went
Into the back rooms to close the doors and
windows for the night and the murderer
watched his chance to come in through tho
front door while Tracey was gone. Going
around behind the bar. It is supposed he
opened a drawer that contained about $235.
and, taking that, then opened the cash
register and took about $00 from the till.
It Is thought that Tracey heard the caeh
register open and came out to see what
was wrong. When he arrived at the arch
door between the barroom and the pool
room, the man was behind the bar, and,
seeing that he could not come out without
passing Tracey, he climbed over the mid
dle of the bar, and while on top of the
bar he fired one shot, which hit Tracey
about two Inches above and to the right of
the navel, ranging downward and coming
out on the left side near the hip. After
being shot, Tracey went behind the bar,
secured his own revolver and ran to the
door and fired two shots. He was found
a lew minutes later, leaning on the bar,
by men who came from a neighboring
saloon.
CRAZY MAX MAKES TROUBLE.
Terrorize Inmates of a Pullman
Sleeping Car.
ASHLAND, Or., May 20. The passen
gers In a tourist sleeper of the south
bound California express, which arrived
here at noon today, were in a state of
terror through tho actions of an insane
man, who had boarded the train at Port
land. He was well dressed, young, gen
teel In appearance, and gave his name as
Michael A. Halllhan, of 1013 Natoma
street, San "Francisco. Soon after he
boarded the train at Portland, his pecu
liar actions began to attract notice, and
it was not long until there was general
uneasiness in the coach. During the
night, while he was sleeping in a lower
berth, he became violent and kicked a
hole through the panel of the upper
berth and destroyed the glass windows.
The porter became so frightened that he
fled from the car for assistance from the
train crew. At Central Point Halllhan
leaped from the moving train and ran
for the timber, but, after a brief chaBe,
the train hands succeeded In bringing
him back, and he was quieted until lie
reached this city. The company's phy
sician. Dr. Parson, and Chief of Police
Smith took charge of the demented pas
senger on his arrival here, and his rela
tives were at once telegraphed as to his
condition. He says he had been working
for the Necanlcum Spruce Lumber Com
pany, at Seaside, and to have been
druggtd. Two $20 coins were found on
bis person.
MURDER TRIAL DRAGS OX.
Circumstantial Evidence Weaving
Aronnd Slievic.
ST. HELENS, Or., May 20. This Is
the fifth day of the trial of Au
gust Schevle for the murder of Jo
seph Schulkowskl. At noon today only
two witnesses for the state had been ex
amined. Dr. Edwin Ross, who made the
autopsy, and an expert gunsmith from
Astoria, The prosecution Is trying, by
txpert testimony, to prove that a 22-20
Winchester cartridge, picked up near the
scene of the murder, had been fired by
the gun owned by the defendant The
plunger is worn on one side and makes
a peculiar mark upon the cartridge. The
ball taken from the body of the de
ceased fits the cartridge perfectly.
. The chain of circumstantial evidence
is being wound around August Schevle so
strongly, that nothing short of an alio!
will break it. The defendant Is calm,
and manifests but little concern. Prob
ably he does not realize the peril he Is
In. HU. mother Is now, and has been fdr
several manths, an Inmate of the Oregon
Tnsane Asylum. The defense, is making
a bard fight The courtroom. Is crowded
from the opening to the closing of the
court each day.
TIMBER IX DEMAXD.
Many Eastern Men Hantfngr for
Claiia la Josephine County.
GRANT'S PASS, May 20. The past
month has- seen the greatest rush for J
timber claims that Josephine County has
known for many years, and from appear
ances It Is but the beginning of activity
that will continue during the coming
Summer. Nearly every passenger train
brings a number of tlmbermen from the
East A party of So, composed almost
entirely of lumbermen from Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota, has just ar
rived here. These people have gone out
Into the pine forests of Western and
Southwestern Josephine County, where
is" located some of the finest pine timber
to be found on the Coast
Most of the lumbermen arriving from
the- East come In parties of eight or ten,
and are equipped with camp outfits. They
leaye here In groups, well supplied for a
cruise of several weeks of cruising and
Inspection through the woodB. These
men are nearly all experienced lumber
men, and many are men who have made
their fortunes In the pine forests of Wis
consin. Michigan and Minnesota. They
realize much more forcibly than does the
average Oregonlan, that every pine tree
of the Oregon woods possesses an Intrin
sic value, no matter how remote It may
be from the railroad.
There yet remains considerable avail
able timber In the mountains of South
ern, Western and Northeastern Josephine
County. This timber Is the best of its
kind in the entire state. Nearly alt of It
Is from 30 to 50 miles from the railroad
and many miles fronj any road wider
than a narrow mountain trail, but It will
all be token up by the close of the year
If the present rush of locators contin
ues. Nearly all of the locations are made
by Eastern men. The average. Oregonlan
thinks that the woods will always be as
quiet as they are now, And so stands by
and watches the Oreson forests pass into
the same hands that cleared the woods
of Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.

news of an awakening of interest among

.the grand scribe we fiqd that we had a
gain in membership up to December SI,
of ISO, whllo from reports that 1 nave
received from the scribes of the several
encampments Since the official yearly re
port was made I find that over 100 have
taken the degrees, making an actual In
crease of over S00 members since the meet
ing of the last grand encampment. This
is very satisfactory, and Indicates that we
will have a much greater gain the com
ing year.

CHOOL days axe the happiest
days of life. In the buovanoy
of youth the student sees life
ahead with all its bricht prom

things seem attainable and she bends
every energy to reap knowledge and
gain the coveted class prize. But in
winning the honors of her class many
a girl has lost the great prize of health.
The excitement of examinations and in
termingling -with sohool mates causes
girls, whether at boarding school or at
home, to forget the precautions of
health. Persistent, hard study, with
loss of sleep, excitement and lack of
proper outdoor exercise will ruin any
girl's health.
The hardest school work generally
comes at that age when the girl is least
able to stand the wearing mental strain
and the consequent waste of vital en

fared Only by Strategy.

ner, who U apparently hopelessly Insane,
was brought to this city today from
Whitney, by Deputy Sheriff D. B. Flsk
and was committed to the insane asylum
at Salem by County Judge Travlllion.
When arrested at Whitney he was heavily
J armed, and It was only by the use of
strategy that he was induced to come to
this city. When conducted to the county
jail ho resisted, and It required all tho
force of the Sheriff's and County Clerk's
office to place him behind the bars. Dep
uty Sheriff Fisk came near losing one of
his eyes in the contest. A large revolver
and several knives were found on his per
son. Several weeks ago Garner was taken
from the train at Spokane. He was ac
companied by two young daughters. The
man was st-nt to the Washington Asylum
at Medical Lake and the girls were sent
to this city, where they were cared for
by Mrs. Stuller, who found them good
homes. They are supposed to be home
seekers. A few days ago the authorities
of the Washington Asylum released Gar
ner and he came to this city. From here
he walked to Sumpter and Whitney,
where he was arrested, as he appeared to
be dangerously Insane.

Miss Fanrue
i frequently worried or excited the strain
will tell on their nerves in a nervous
headache which by its- prevalence
among women and its infrequency
among men is marked as a forerunner
of female disease.
Miss Fannie C. Shepard, of Hiram,
Ohio, and a student at Hiram college,
studied too hard and was a sufferer
from headaohe, and she was so nervous
she could not sleep at night. She says :
wFcur years hard study told on my gen
eral health until I became pals and thin and
lost much of aay natural vitality. I found
that sleepless nights and frequent headaches
warned me that I must take better care cf
myself. Mother had been using wine of
Cardul with good results and so she advised
me to take-it. I did so for three weeks and
with such satisfactory results that I feel it
but just to you to acknowledge what a
blessing and help it was to me. It Is a good
thing to know that you have a medicine
which is reliable it h half the cure, and
"7ine of Cardui is certainly all you claim
for it."

RESIGNS FROM UNIVERSITY
DR. ARTHUR LACHMAX, OF DE
PARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY".
Will Leave the Institution at Eugene
at the End of the Present
College Year.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE,
Or., May 20. Dr. Arthur Lachman, Head
of the department of chemistry and min
ing in the University of Oregon, has ten
dered his resignation to the board of re
gents to take effect at the close of tne
present college year. This action of Dr.
Lachman has been rumored on the
campus for a week or more and was
authoritatively announced this afternoon.
Dr. Lachman will lecture on chemistry
at the Berkeley Summer School. Further
than this he has no definite plans for
the future.
'Dr. Lachman was called to Oregon
from Ann-Arbor In the fall of 1S97 as tha
successor of Prof. Edgar McClure. Ha
is a graduate of the University of Cali
fornia and secured his Ph. D. degree at
Munich in 1895. He Is regarded as one ot
the leading chemists in the United States
and his resicnatlon is a ereat loss to the
j State University.
This makes the sixth resignation- from
the faculty this year, the others E. D.
Ressler, assistant professor of education;
F. L. Washburn, professor of biology;
W. Glfford Nash, dean of the school ot
music; Dr. Frank Strong, president; F. S.
Dunn, professor of Latin.
NOT EXE3IPT FROM TAXES.
Ships That Are Registered In State
of Washington.
OLYMPIA. Wasn., May?0. The act of
the Legislature as to taxation o ships
and vessels, passed at the extra session.
Is unconstitutional, in the opinion of Attorney-General
Stratton. Chapter 2 of
the act provides, "That the ships or ves
sels registered In any customs house of
the United States within this state, which
vessels are used exclusive in trade be
tween this state, any islands, districts,
territories, states of the United States or
foreign countries, shall not be listed for
the purpose of, or subject to, taxation in
this state. Such vessels are not deemed
property within this state."
Tho state Constitution states clearly
what property shall be exempted, and
provides for the taxation of all property
except such as is exempted by the United
States statutes. Therefore, In the Attorney-General's
opinion, an act of the Leg
islature making other exemptions Is void.
As to- whether a vessel is taxable In this
state, this is largely a question of fact to
be determined by the County Assessor;
and, furthermore, it is not within the
power of tho Legislature to declare as a
matter of fact that vessels are or are not
taxable
The act was Intended as a ship subsidy.
Under Its provision, every steamer ply
ing from Washington ports to foreign
porta could escape taxation. The result
of the opinion will be the listing of all
these steamers by the assessors, and an
appreciable Increase in the state's rev
enues when the ship owners pay up.

O. R. Holcomb, former State Arid Land
Commissioner, has filed a claim with the
State Auditor for salary for 34 months

an appropriation for hla salary ceased
to be available, and April 26. 1902, the
date of the appointment of his successor,
John L. Murray.
The claim amounts to $5716 65, and Au
ditor Atkinson refused to pay it, because
of lack of funds therefor. The claim V2s
presented by former Assistant Attorney- j
General Thomas M. Vance, of this city,
and It Is believed an effort will be made
to obtain. Judgment in the courts for the
amount. '

to her studies was fast making her an
invalid when "Wine of Cardui brought
her back to health. Hers was a case
where prompt treatment resulted In a
.quick and effective cure. It took Wine
of Cardui just three weeks to undo the
trouble that resulted from four yeara
of abuse. This powerful remedy for
the ills of women never fails as the
repeated cures reported in this paper
will show. Nervousness and headache
are distressing the lives of thousands of
women who never dream that the wholo
trouble can bo remedied by treating
their menstrual irregularity. They will
notice that severe attacks came about
the time of the menstrual period. This
should be enough for them. Nature is
giving the warning.
Wine of Cardui banishes nervous
headaches by removing the cause. In
stopping the headaches Wine of Cardui
strengthens the nervous system. It
regulates menstruation, stops bearing
down pains and the drain of leucor-
rhcea. This treatment not only stops
the headache, but it relieves every
other racking painful symptom of
female trouble. Nights of rcfreshinc
sleep take the place of sleepless, rest
less ones.
Write The Ladies' Advisory Depart
ment, The Chattanooga Medicine Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn., and state your
case if you are in doubt, but relief will
be quicker if you go to your druggist
now and secure a bottle of Wine of
Cardui and begin takiner it todav in
your home.
