THE MORNING OEBGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1903, KILLS GIRL HE LOVES Bay City Clerk Then Puts Bullet in His Own Head. SHE HAD TIRED OF ATTENTIONS Murderer Write Letter Showing; That the Fatal Act Was Com mitted "With Premeditation He Will Probably Die. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29. Marie Jordan, a handsome brunette, was shot dead on the street today by Edward de la Brousse, who then-fired a shot into his own head, Inflicting a wound which will probably prove fatal. The tragedy was the result of jealousy. Miss Jordan, who was employed as sales lady In the cloak and suit house of Ar mand Callleau, on Kearney street, had long been admired by De la Brousse. He is a salesman In the haberdashery estab lishment of Wolf & Frank, also on Kear ' xiey street, and he daily saw Miss. Jordan passing to and from her work. Recent ly, it Is asserted, she became weary of his persistent attentions, ana plainly In formed him of that fact. Today he lay in wait for her at the noon hour, on a corner he knew she would pass as the went home to lunch. It was near her residence, close to the intersection of Hyde and Sacramento streets. He waited until his intended victim was by his side. Then, touching her on the arm to attract her attention, he deliberately fired two shots from a revolver into her head. She fell dead on the spot, without uttering a word. The murderer then placed the pistol against his own head and pulled the trig ger, but the weapon failed to go off. He lowered it and it was discharged, the bullet striking the sidewalk. Almost In stantly he again aimed at his head, and this time the shot went to Its mark. He fell beside his victim, writhing In pain. The wound 3s a serious one, and it is not thought he can survive. The affair has caused considerable excitement, as each had a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. They were both under 30 years of age. Statements regarding the details of the tragedy were somewhat varied. The sto ries told by eye witnesses, however, gen erally agree that De la Brousse, who had left his place of employment about ten days ago, waited for Miss Jordan at the corner of Leavenworth and Sacramento streets. They walked down the street to gether. They reached the entrance which leads Into 1459 Sacramento street, a house well in the rear, with a large garden In front. De la .Brousse, according to the statement made by Harvey Long, a car penter, then at work on a house opposite, opened the gateway for the girl, and the two started up the brbad walk together. When a few steps from the wicket De la Brousse placed his hand upon the girl's shoulder, then, arresting her prog ress, pulled out a pistol and, placing the weapon to her head, fired two shots Into her brain. She sank to the ground at his feet, and before Long could reach the spot, her murderer lay by her side with a bullet in his head. De la Brousse left a letter addressed to his sister, telling of his love for Miss Jordan, and saying he could not suffer any longer as he had since she had dis carded him. He asked forgiveness for the act he Intended to commit. Another document also found on the person of the murderer and would-be suicide. Is addressed to the public After saying: "I have suffered eight months of hell. How I have stood It only the Lord knows," De La Brousse goes on to charge Miss Jordan's sister with separating him from his "beloved Marie" because he was not making financial headway, and In a rambilng way tells of his troubles. Its closing sentence is: " "I not only curse you now but will wish you a curse "on your head to the last hour of your life." anything in this line are the Jacks, nin nies and mules of Browning and McFall, who make this their specially. The usual number of speed horses are on hand, and some -good races are assured, both in the saddle events and harness races-. A stable Is coming from Portland with both-running and harness ' horses, and some good races are assured. Racing will begin tomorrow afternoon and con tinue through the week. The time for entry of exhibits for the district fair closed tonight, after a busy day by the entry' clerks. The number of entries has not been counted, but- the officers are more than pleased with the prospects und declare the show to be even better than they had expected. The pa vilion is crowded to the utmost and there are tonight la. great manyi entries for which no place can yet be found. Tomorrow will be the first real day of the fair, today having been taken up with organization. People are beginning to flock In, and the gatekeepers will have their turn for the following days. WHICH DAY IS SUNDAY? ARGUMENTS FOR OBSERVANCE! OF FIRST DAY OF WEEK. ! SMASHES MOVING TARGET. Eight-Inch Rifle Practice at Month of the Columbia. ASTORIA. Sept. 29. (Special.) During the past two days target practice has been infprogress at FortyColumbla. full service ammunition with solid steel projectiles being used (under conditions that were as difficult and exacting as possible. The target was a triangular wooden structure with a base of six feet -fastened on two logs. The plan was to fire five shots at it from eight-Inch coast defense rifles at a distance of SS0O yards, the target to be moving out to sea with the tide. After, the tide started to run out yes terday afternoon the target was towed by the steamer Major Guy Howard to a point near the Republic spit and turned adrift. - Lieutenant Spurr, who is In command of the battery at Fort "Columbia, flred the first shot'and made a remark able hit. In fact, if was so good that operations had to be suspended until to day, when a new target was secured. The shot struck the" target at the base and knocked It Into hundreds of pieces. ' This morning another similar target was released at the same place and four shots fired at It, but none or them struck the mark. Each of the shots was good, however, and In three Instances the spray from the shot striking the water splashed on the target and the fourth went so close that the vibration of the air caused It to shake. Any one of these shots was sufficiently accurate to have hit a vessel of moderate size. This completes the practice at Fort Columbia, but the forces at Fort Stevens will engage In a similar one next month. Rev. S. W.

Fulton today tendered to Governor Cham berlain his resignation as State Senator from Clatsop County. In the due course of events the vacancy will be filled at the next ceneral election Iny June, 1904. Should a special session of tne Legisla ture be held to correct the defect In the assessment and taxation law a special election will be necessary in that coun ty. A vacancy will occur in the delegation from Marlon County through the removal of Representative Frank Davey to Port land, and also In the case of Senator Daly, of Benton, who has removed to Portland, and perhaps Senator Mulkey, of Polk, who now resides in Jackson Coun ty. A special session of the Legislature this Fall would make special elections necessary in all these counties. Section 2844 of the code provides that "when any vacancy shall happen in the office of member of the Senate or-House of Representatives, by death, resignation or otherwise, and a session of the Legis lature, Is to take place before the next biennial election, the Governor shall Is sue a writ' of election, directed to the Sheriffs of the counties composing the district in which such vacancy shall oc cur, commanding them to notify the sev eral judges of election to hold a special election to fill such vacancy, at a time appointed by the Governor. The special election will add consider ably to the cost of a special sessloih, for the cost of a special election Is but com paratively little less than of a general election. FINE EXHIBIT OF CATTLE.

Dr. Gamble said that It might be ob- Ljected that Sunday legislation is an at tempt to unite cnurcn ana state, upon this subject he said that the Government legislates against some acts forbidden by the law of God and such legislation Is not called an attempt to unite church and state. "The state must take its hands off the Decalogue entirely If it cannot enact a Sunday law, for-iif we may legislate YQUNG WIFE TAKES POISON HUSBAND IN A FRENZY OVER THE - DEAD BODY.

Second The observance of the same day continued from Moses to Christ Third There Is no ordinance "iriXhe New Testament changing It Fourth It was not changed until the pope of Rome changed It from Saturday to Sunday; and as the pope Is "the beast" of the revelation, Sunday-keeping Is the "mark of the beast," and "whosoever worships the beast or has his mark (keeps SQndav as Sabbath) shall be cast out and Ithe wrath of God shall be poured out upon him." Dr. Gamble denies each of these claims and asserts In support of the observance of Sunday: First That a Sabbath was given to Adam in Eden, but that It was Sunday day In the week, for no man can preach to another who works every day alike."
