Swarm of Armed Japanese
Schooners, Hang Around

AT LEAST TWENTY KILLED
Quick-Firing Guns Are Used by
Raiders In Attack on Russian
Islands Leased to an
American Company.
VICTORIA, B. C Sept. 27. The seal
ing schooner City of San Diego, first
of the fleet from Behrlng Sea to reach
port, arrived tonight, bringing news
of several more raids made by Japan
ese sealing' schooners, armed with
quick-firing guns, on Copper and Beh
ring Islands, whose rookeries are
leased by an American company from
the Russian government, which has
guards On the islands.
Hunters of Japanese schooners who
boarded the City of San Diego In Behr
ing Sea reported that a number of Jap
anese schooners had made raids at
Copper Island, two berhg armed with
gatling guns, with which they bom
barded the huts ot tiie guards on the
island before making a landing. Dur
ing the past Summer it was estimated
that at least 2'J Japanese were killed,
and none knew how many Russians
had been shot. The captain of one of
the Japanese schooners was among the
killed, having been shot through the
head by the rookery guard.
The City of San Diego reported see
ing about 25 Japanese schooners in
Behring Sea. They were clustered
close about the islands and shooting
right and left, consequently the Vic
toria schooners were obliged to remain
CO miles outside the island and had a
poor season. Despite this, however,
some good catches were reported, the
highest being those of the Umbrina,
Casco and Kvararie, each of which
took over 700.
It is expected the catch will aver
age about that of last year In the Behr
ing Sea. Some of the schooners took
some valuable sea otter skins. The
City of San Diego brings one otter, and
reports that the Casco has 12. No ac
cidents were reported and no seizures.
One man named MeKlnley, a hunter of
Victoria, died and was buried at sea.
ABERDEX IAXD OTTLES.
Aberdeen Brought Face to Face With
Crisis.
ABERDEEN, "Wash., Sept. 27. (Spe
cial.) In the opinion of County Com
missioner Sherwood, Aberdeen faces a
crisis In the matter of title to tlde
lancle. Slierwood appeared before the
Council last night to explain the situa
tion and to suggest the remedy.
It appears that the original plat of
the tldelands of Aberdeen was made In
1S33. but that the plat was never filed,
having been held up. Ten years later a
bill was got through the Legislature
providing for a new survey, at the
original appraisement, but the plats still
are not tiled. As a consequence, owners
of waterfront property cannot acquire
title to tidelands in front of their hold
ings. Sherwood brought out the point that
the next Legislature might, and probably
would, enact another bill providing for
appraisement at present valuations. As
showing the importance of the matter,
the Commissioner pointed out that the
original appraisement of the 80-acre
tract below the Hart Wood Mill was
perhaps $700 or JSOO. He ventured the
assertion that the new appraisement un
der present valuations would be placed at
$4000 an acre, or $SO,000 for the tract.
Sherwood spoke of the difficulty that
had been encountered In having the new
bill passed In 1903, and how hard it was
to make the agricultural legislators un
derstand that the Increase In property
valuations here was due to the efforts of
the men who owned the abutting prop
erty. The Commissioner recently held a con
ference at Seattle with State Land Com
missioner Ross, who had suggested a
way out of the dilemna, and Sherwood
urged the Council to adopt the Land
Commissioner's recommendation. Ac
cordingly, a resolution was adopted last
night covering the matter and a diligent
effort will now be made to secure the
filing of the plats before the next Leg
islative session. If this can be done the
tidelands will pass to owners of abut
ting property at the original appraise
ment. DESERTS WIFE FOR A SQUAW

ASSAULTED BY MURDERER
MRS. ZELL IS VICTIM OF RANCH
HAND IN CROOK COUNTY.
Fred Shepherd Was Known to Have
Been Violently in Love With Em
ployer's Beautiful Wife.
PRINEVILLE. Or.. Sept 27. (Special.)
No one is allowed to interview Fred
Shepherd, charged with the cold-blooded
murder Monday of Ben F. Zell, except his
attorney, who stoutly maintains his
client's innocence. The Coroner's jury
found sufficient evidence against Shepherd
to warrant holding him for the crime and
accordingly he waived examination and is
held without bonds to the forthcoming
grand Jury. The Prosecuting Attorney
refuses to allow him visitors other than
IBs counsel.
According to the only living witness,
Mrs. Zell, the victim's widow; Shepherd,
after killing her husband, drove her back
to the house, where he criminally as
saulted her. This testimony was not given
to the Jury, but to some friends shortly
after the assault. Mrs. Zell was pros
trated by the shock and at the time of
the hearing was violently hysterical, so
her testimony was regarded as incompe
tent and was not called for. She remained
in a critical condition until this morn
ing, but is better now.
Mrs. Zell is a very beautiful woman of
32, and has lived nearly all her life in
Crook County.
Fred Shepherd, the defendant, is 28
years of age. He has been employed at
the Zell ranch. 18 miles south of Prine
vllle and 16 miles' east of Bend, as a
ranchhand, for the past year or more. It
is- known that he was violently in love
with Mrs. Zell, who detested him, but
who, being an amiable woman, was al
ways pleasant to him. Shepherd probably
construed her good nature to be reclpro
cation of his affection.
