HTLlLSBORO, Or., Aug. 2S. (Special.)
Murderer Bert Oakman ate breakfast two
and one-half miles east of this city this
morning, and stopped at the Borwlck
Taneb, one mile south' of Reedvllle. to
have 'his wheel pumped up. Miss Borwlck
knew Oakman, but had not heard that
he had killed Frank Bennett Oakman
was met at the Borwick ranch by Br. S.
T. Xteklater, who stopped him, took off
his hat, examined his hands and asked
him his name. Oakman said it was Will
iams. Link later then went to the Bor
wlck house, and finding out who the man
was, started In pursuit. Oakman rode
off on the wheel while the doctor was
going up the walk. .
Oakman went a mile due east, jumped
from his wheel and struck for the brush.
Llnklater telephoned the Sheriff at Hllls
boro and a posse, accompanied by an
Oregonian reporter, went to the place
where the murderer was last seen. If he
did not again take to the road on his
wheel, Oakman Is in about 800 acres of
the worst kind of a Jungle, and one could
pass within five feet of him without dis
covering where he might be hidden.
Motive for the Murder.
At last the real motive of the cowardly
murder is out. Oakman and young Ben
nett had worked together at South Bend,
Wash., and Eagle Cliff, on the Colum
bia, and last February they came to HiHs
boro, where Bennett's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. Bennett, reside. During this
time they were constant companions, and
apparently were the best of friends.
Oakman confided to Bennett that he
had been married, and had a wife and a
little child at Monmouth, 111., where they
now reside. After coming to Hlllsboro
the two. young "men commenced to keep
company with the Misses Ledford, daugh
ters of G. T. Ledford, one of Hlllsboro's
pioneers. Oakman had paid attentions
to Miss Alta, who is a very handsome
brunette, while Bennett iald attentions
to Miss Vesta.
It appears that Bennett was a straight
forward young man, and that he and
Oakman had frequent quarrels because
man. Oakman finally told Bennett that
he was going to marry Miss Alta, and
Bennett at once became alarmed, and
wishing to save the girl humiliation, told
Miss Ledford that Oakman was a mar
Tied man, and showed her a picture of
his little child. Miss Ledford at once
told Oakman, the next time he called,
that ho must not come any more, and
insisted that his attentions were obnox
ious to her, and that she would have
nothing more to do with him.
Oakman became angry at what he con
sidered was undue Interference on the
part of Bennett, and told the sister with
whom Bennett was going that there would
be bloodshed. He also told Mrs. Bennett,
..tbJtj other of the murdered .man, that he j
wmid kill Frank for telling that he was
a married man.
Kb one attaches any blame to the
.Hisses lediord, as they are exemplary
young women. Miss Alta is Industrious,
and works every day at the condenser.
Both tyoung women feel the Incident
keenly, and Miss Vesta is nearly pros
trated over the trouble.
Oakman's Friend Arrested.
The man who hurriedly left the scene
of the murder with Oakman was appre
hended about two hours after the crime,
lait night, and lodged In the County Jail.
Many think that he saw Oakman and
. Informed him of Bennett's death. The
man's name is Craig, and he ran with
Oakman nearly two blocks from where
the struggle took place.
.When confronted by the two men who
saw him with Oakman, hurrying from the
rear of the saloon, he evaded and -said
that he was not with the murderer, but
when told by the Long brothers that ha
was the man, and they had seen his face
clearly in the light which streamed from
the newspaper office, he admitted that he
went a block just to the first corner.
In this . Craig, who lately came here
from Wisconsin, and lives in - this city,
told what was not true, as Attorney H.
T. Bagley saw him with the murderer a
- block farther north, and heard Oakman
say, "You go back, now."" Sheriff Con-
nell placed Craig In jail, and he will be
held, whether as a witness or accessory
after the fact is not now known.
Frank Bennett was born in Mankato,
Minn., and would have been 24 years of
age this Fall. He was an exemplary and
industrious young man. The mother is
yet in Ignorance of her son's death, and
she will not be told of the occurrence, as
the physicians state that It would mean
death, owing to her critical condition.
Hothlng is known of Oakman, save that
he came from Monmouth. 111., and that
he claims to have been a soldier in the
Philippines.
Oakman's Hidlng-Place Surrounded.
A cordon of men has been thrown
around-the huge forest In which Oakman
is supposed to be secreted. He may try
to break through, reach Portland and go
with the circus that shows there Mon
day. ' This morning he was wearing
glasses as a disguise.
Oakman is 28 years of age; has sandy
hair, nearly red; a florid complexion; has
good teeth, and no filling of any kind,
a matter of which he was prone to boast.
He is about 5 feet 9 inches, has a light
blue eye, with slightly red lids, a promi
nent nose, and has a scar on the upper
cheekbone, which looks as though It had
been too tightly sewn after an accident
of so'me kind. He was wearing a rather
light suit, with a fairly prominent stripe,
when the murder was committed. He
usually wore a derby hat, well cocked on
the back- of his head, and Is rather prepossessing-looking.
Oakman is inclined
to 'be bowlegged. He weighs about 160
or 170 pounds.
An inquest will bo held on -the- body of
the dead man tomorrow morning.
Oakman's wheel was found late this
afternoon on the north side of the road
where he entered the brush. The posse
hunted to the opposite side early In the
day. They are beating the other side
now.
Dr. Unklater says that Oakman's left
eye is discolored, as though he had, suf
fered a blow.

While intoxicated John Tokay, a Cuban,

FIRE LOSS AT HOOD RIVER.
Cannery and Warehouse Destroyed,
With Loss Nearly $40,000.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 2S. (Spe
cial.) Spontaneous combustion caused
a $30,000 fire tonight at 6:15 o'clock at
the fruit cannery of the Davidson Fruit
Company, and spread to adjoining
buildings'. There was an explosion
among the canned fruit, and cans sailed
up Into the air like so many rockets.
The flames were so bright that people
came into town from the surrounding
country, and the fire was extinguished
with difficulty. The insurance amounts
to $15,000.
It is believed that the fire started at
the bottom of the elevator-shaft in the
coldstorage warehouse. The. loss in
cludes 25,000 empty apple boxes, 30,000
strawberry boxes, and one carload . of
vinegar. Books, papers, wagons and
buggies were saved by the bystanders.
The fruit cannery is near the rail
road depot, and the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company lost a carload of
tiling for McMinnville. Flour and feed
stuffs valued at $5000, tut covered by
insurance, were burned in the ware
house of the Wasco Warehouse & Mill
ing Company. Stranahan & Bagley,
who operated the warehouse, sustain a
loss of $1000, partly covered by $400 in
surance. An old freight depot adjoin
ing this warehouse was damaged to the
extent of $500.
People carried hose from the Mount
Hood Hotel and saved the depot from
the flames, and also a lodging-house.
Fortunately there was little or no wind
at the time or the loss would have been
a great deal moje. White Salmon peo
ple are also losers, for a largo crop of
tomatoes raised for canning cannot now
find a market.
Train No. 4, known as the Spokane
Flyer, was delayed 25 minutes by the
fire, and one sidetrack was destroyed
but the main line Is Intact.
Mr. Davidson had Just shipped $3000
worth" of canned goods from his fac
tory. He was not able to tell his plans
definitely this evening, but It is under
stood a brick building will replace the
one destroyed by fire.

DRY BAY AT BAKER CITY
SALOONS CLOSED FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN FfFTY YEARS.
All Business Houses Suspend Opera
tions, Ex'cept inCases of Ne
cessity and Mercy.
BAKER CITY, Or., Aug. 28. (Spe
cial.) Baker City is a closed, dry town
today for the first time since it was
founded, almost 50 years ago. The sa
loon men all closed .promptly at 12
o'clock last night, and neither love nor
money would tempt any of them to sell
a drink of intoxicating liquor today.
The closing of the saloons was the re
sult of a voluntary determination on
the part of the proprietors to obey the
law.
All nlaces of business were closed
save those exempt under the law, or
those that opened in response to busi
ness necessity, which the law permits.
Rev. Mr.- Secor, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, spoke tonight on the
subject, "A Scene in a Justice Court,
or the True History of the J. Muller
Case." He explained that he did not
wish to be placed in the position of
advocating with tho interference of the
church with the affairs of state, or vice
versa, but as this case was, in his
opinion, a travesty on justice, the facts
concerning which had not been given
to the public by the press, he felt in
duty bound as a law-abiding citizen to
protest against the flagrant and wilful
preverslon of the law, as was done by
the jury In this case
He declared that the moral element
of this city, so far as he was able to
learn, was in no way responsible for
the inauguration of the crusade by
Sheriff Brown, but now that it was
started and the charge had been made
that Sheriff Brown and District Attor
ney Lomax did not have public senti
ment back of them, this charge he was
going to disprove.
When this matter was first broached
by Sheriff Brown, it was stated that the
church people had started the fight Mr.
Brown said he acted on his own re
sponsibility. This was questioned in
some quarters. Mr. Secor confirmed Mr.
Brown's statement by his declaration
tonight. As the. subject of the lecture
was announced by the local press this
morning, the church was crowded, a
large number of prominent business
men who seldom attend church being
present.
The result of the meeting was the
circulation of a petition which was nu
merously signed, pledging the support
of the signers to Sheriff Brown and
District Attorney Lomax. During the
address the church was frequently rung
with applause. The Indications last
night were that the spasm of trouble
was about over; for Baker City tonight
it appears that the trouble has just be
gun. Mr. Secor declared that public
sentiment was slow to act, but that the
people of this city would not counte
nance such flagrant disregard of law
and evidence as was exhibited by the
jury in this case.
Mr. Secor insisted that the closing of
the saloons today was merely a blind.
District Attorney Lomax will probably
be prepared to proceed with the other
cases tomorrow. Prominent citizens of
all classes have been endeavoring to
day, to put an end to such scenes as
were witnessed in the Justice Court last
week.

DEFENSE OF DISHOP POTTER
Vancouver Clergyman Lauds Him as
a Devil-Fighter.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 28.
In his sermon at St Luke's Epis
copal Church today upon the text, "He
that shall humble himself sjiall be ex
alted," the rector. Rev. W. C. Shep
pard, alluded incidentally to Bishop
Potter's connection with the "Subway
Tavern" In the following terms:
"A few weeks ago Bishop Potter, of
New York, encouraged the opening of
the 'Subway Tavern,' a place with a bar
where everything from Memonade to
whisky may be bought and drank. It
was, on his part, an attempt to solve
the liquor problem; an attack, from his
point of view, upon the Devil with the
Devil's own weapons. His action was
inspired by an ambition to bring about,
eventually, a great social reform, his
idea being to provide a place -to which
men who would frequent saloons any
way might resort without coming in.
contact with the other vices which In
variably cluster about the grogshops.
In fact, Bishop Potter's saloon, as It
Is called, Is, to a large extent, to New
York City what the canteen was to the
Army Post
"He foresaw, of "course, the storm of
criticism and abuse which the act
Would bring down upon his head. He
was not blind to the fact that news
papers would jeer at him; that relig
ious journals would consign him to per
dition, and that a thousand pulpits
from Portland, Me., to Portland, Or.,
would make him a target for their
cheap attacks.
"But ho humbled himself. He chose
the path of scorn and persecution. He
bared his bosom to the shafts of preju
dice and ridicule. He humbled himself,
indeed.
"But how about his exaltation? He
is honored by many a person who re
joiced to see a man possessed of an
all-absorbing ambition to do something
to improve the world; to see a man
who actually care3 for the souls of his
fellowmen, and who is willing to be
crucified, If need be, in their behalf.
I, for one, enthrone in my heart, not the
man, however goodhe may be from
the conventional point of view, who
sits around doing nothing for human
advancement, and caring naught for
the welfare of his fellows, asking, like
Cain of old: 'Am I my brother's keep
er?' I enthrone In my heart the man
whose soul Is all on fire to do some
thing for the cause of humanity, and
who, when he thinks he sees his op
portunity, leaps, at any cost, into the
conflict even though his way of fight
ing may not commend Itself to my
judgment
"We read in the sectarian press that
Bishop Potter is a 'blasphemer' and a
Judas;' that he has incurred 'the curse
of the Almighty,' and that when the
Subway Tavern was opened 'the devils
in hell grinned with delight' Let us
rather say that God rejoices mightily
over the zeal of his servants
and that he appreciates and will
reward the self-sacrificing, the
self-abasing efforts of those who are
trying, according to their opportunities
and convictions, to do something for
the world's uplifting. For such as
these, not for the selfish, not for the
slothful, not for those who shrink from
offering themselves up on the altar of
self-sacrifice, shall come, by and by.
the everlasting exaltation, the throne
of power and the crown of glory."
ELECTRIC ROAD IN UMATILLA
Will Be Built If Portage Road Is Con
structed. PENDLETON; Or., Aug. 28. (Special.)
In the event of the construction of the
portage railway between Celllo and The
Dalles, which now seems assured, an elec
tric railroad may be built between Pen
dleton and some point on the Columbia
River. Tihls rumor became current on
the streets today, and It Is believed that
something tangible lies behind it It is
understood that the promoters of this
scheme are prominent residents of Uma
tilla County and that they will carry the
project to a successful termination, pro
vided the portage road Is built, seems cer
tain. The promoters will not talk for publi
cation, refusing to give any information
at all concerning the project "It Is too
soon to announce our intentions," said
one of the interested persons yesterday,
"for the portage road has not been built
as yet."
It is understood that two objective
points are now under consideration, the
one being Umatilla and the other Wal
lula. The latter point will probably be
chosen, as a road between that junction
and this city would open up unlimited
traffic out of Pendleton. Wheatraisers
are anxious that the road be built, as the
saving in grain freight rates will bo enormous.
