THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1907.,
BROWN FORESAW
HIS AWFUL FATE
Knew He Was Shadowed by
Men Whose Crimes He
Exposed.
REAL CAPTOR OF ORCHARD
Murdered Sheriff Found First Evi
dence Against 'lioleeale Assas
sin I'nknoun Danger Caused
Settled Gloom, but No Fear.
Ex-Sheriff Harvey K. Brown, while he
has never been Riven credit for it, was
the man who made the capture of Harry
Orchard possible. He also knew that
Steve Adams lived near Baker City a:.d
when Orchard made his confession and
Implicated Adams in the crimes that he
had committed for the Western Federa
tion of Miners, it was Brown who ar
rested Adams and turned him over, to the
Pinkerton detectives.
When the assassinataion of Ex-Governor
St -.inenber took place. Brown, who
anew Orchard, Adams, Simpkins and sev
eral others, and knew the character of
the men, at once got on a tr.i and went
t to Caldwell, Idaho. He had known that
Orchard had been seen In Idaho and at
once connected him with the killing of
Idaho's former governor On his arrival
at Caldwell. Brown at once began to look
for Orchard and the very tirst man he met
in the Caldwell Hotel was Orchard, who
was seated In a chair in the hotel of
fice. After making up his mind that
he, had the man he was looking for.
Brown at once notified the officials.
It was Brown who accompanied one
of the officials to Orchard's room and
the search which followed resulted in
the discovery of the evidence of the
bomb, by which Stuenenburg was
killed.
Active In Federation Cases.
Since that date. Brown has been ac
tively engaged in collecting evidence
for the prosecution of the officials of
the Western Federation of Miners. He
was one of the important witnesses
at the first trial of Adams for mur
dering Tyler, and his friends believe
that his terrible death was due to the
fact that recently he had obtained very
important evidence in this connection,
although some of his friends are of the
opinion that his death was due to his
activity in ridding Baker City of vice
and corruption and that the bomb was
placed at his pate by his local
enemies.
That Brown knew that he was a
marked man was an open secret among
his intimate friends in Portland. On
a recent visit to Portland he dis
cussed the fact that he was marked
for death with United States Attorney
Bristol ai:d Harvey O'Bryan, his friend
of many years. Mr. Bristol knew
Brown very well, In fact he had made
partial arrangements with Brown to
. work in his office. Mr. Bristol knew
him to have been a very efficient of
ficer and had offered him a position
with the Government and expected to
use him in connection with the ap
nroaching land-fraud trials. Mr.
Bristol said yesterday that during his
conversation with Brown the ojther
dav. he noticed that Brown appeared
worried und taxed him witu it. At
rlrst Brown said be was having some
trouble with his stomach, but finally
admitted that certain things had come
up of late that convinced him that
he was liable to be shot at any time.
Knew He 'Was Doomed Man.
To Mr. O'Bryan Brown also confided
the same thing. In Breaking of the ter
rible manner In which Brown met his
death. Mr. O'Bryan said last night:
"Only a few of Harvey's friends knew
of his close connection with the prose
cution of the ofllcers of the Western
Federation of Miners. Ever since he
turned up Orchard and arrested Stevo
Adams, hardly a month has passed that
he has not received threatening letters.
He was too brave a man to be frteht
ened by these threats. He told me a
long lime ago, and he spoke of it again
during his visit here last week, that he
had. been followed for a year. He toll!
me that some one was trying to drive
him out of the country an that he ex
pected to be shot aJmost any night.
Poor fellow, I know he never dreamed
that they would use the same means of
killing him as they did ateunenberg. He
expected that some one would shoot him
from ambush and he was constantly on
his guard. Had lie suspected that thoy
would place a bomb for him, he would
have been more careful. Whoever Is re
sponsible for his deatli killed one of the
bravest men that ever walked."
Ex-Sheriff Tom Word was another
close friend of the dead man. Yester
day, upon reading of the assassination,
he at once started a subscription. wlb
the Intention of raising $1000. which wi
tie offered as a reward for tho capture
of the assassins.
said he had seen the same man in Walla
Walla. Brown had seen him first that
day in front of the Perkins Hotel. After
wards the man looked in at the Imperial
Hotel, where Brown had gone after
leaving the Perkins. Later, when Brown
came here, the man was standing on
the other side of the street, staging at
him as he entered the building. He told
me he had recognized the man at once
as one he had seen In Walla Walla.
"While Brown had been verv strict in
the enforcement of the law at Baker
City, there was no bitter feeling against
him. nothing to warrant such a dastardly
deed as was committed. I was a mem
ber of the police force there for three
years myself and know there is no ele
ment mere wnicn would employ such
means for committing murder."

lng the cowards who took his life in this
sneaking and Inhuman way.
Mr. Brown had no enemies in this city
who would wish that such a fate should
befall him, although they have been and
are opposed to him because of his efforts
to enforce the law against the saloon
men and gamblers. During the last few
months of his duties as Sheriff of Baker
County he received several letters which
threatened his life because of his open
and avowed opposition to the whisky

That the murder of Harvey K. Brown,
of Baker City, was the work of hired
assassins of the Western Federation of
Miners is the belief of T. E. Hammersley.
Chief of Police at The Oaks, formerly on
the police force at Baker City, and for
20 years an intimate friend of Brown.
Last night Mr. Hammersley said:
"Brown was here at my house on
September 19. He was on his way to
Salem, he told me. for the purpose of
getting some information regarding a
man who had kidnaped his child and
for whose recovery a reward had been
offered by the mother. He told me he

Expected to Be Murdered
For the last six months Brown has been
spending most of his time- in Idaho, work
ing on the case of Steve Adams, and had
been summoned by the state to appear
as a witness at the trial. He confided to
friends in this city that he did not want
to take the stand against Adams, because
he felt that if he did he would never es

retary W. N. Gatens immediately wired
the Governor, who was due to arrive in
St. Louis tonight to attend a meeting of
the Inland Waterways Commission. At a
late hour tonight no response had been
received, and It is thought that the Gov
ernor, has not yet reached St. Louis.
The Legislature has provided a fund of
$.i000. to be expended by the Governor at
' his discretion, tn the enforcement of law
and the detection of criminals. The law
contemplates that with this money the
Governor shall employ persons to rerrec
out criminals, but there seems to be noth
of the assassins. If this could not De
done, the Governor could ofTer a reward
conditioned upon an appropriation by the
Legislature, and. if the murderers should
be caught and convicted, there is no doubt
that the Legislature would make the ap
propriation. '
HARVESTER TRUST NEXT
GOVERNMENT WILL SOON MOVE
TO DISSOLVE IT.
Has Collected Evidence of Absolute
Monopoly and Purdy Will
Prepare Complaint.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1. (Special.)
The farmers of the country are soon to
have the satisfaction of reading that
the Government has commenced pro
ceedings to dissolve the Harvester
Trust.
Assistant Attorney-General Purdy.
who has prepared all the trust cases,
has Just returned from a Summer in
Europe and today was in conference
with the Attorney-General. He has
done much work upon the harvester
case. The department has succeeded,
through its agents, in collecting a vast
amount of evidence and Mr. Purdy will
be able in a comparatively short time
to have the case filed In court. Dis
trict Attorney Sims, at Chicago, prob
ably being selected to prosecute.
It is stated that the Harvester Trust
has such a complete monopoly of agri
cultural Implements that it absolutely
fixes the price the farmer must pay.
and has eliminated all competition.
The farmers are encouraged to be
lieve that after its dissolution they
will be able to get their agricultural
machinery at much lower prices. .
MAY YET Pl'XISH ALTON ROAD
Grand Jury Taking Evidence In
Other Than Standard Cases.
CHICAGO. Oct. 1. James A. Moffett,
president of the Standard Oil Company
in Indiana, went before the Feedral
grand 1ury today to explain his public
statement that other concerns besides the
Standard Oil Company had been guilty
of rebating with railroads.
A subpena was issused for F. H. Hol
land, chief rate clerk of the Alton Rail
road, It is declared that, if Holland, as
agent for the Alton, gives evidence in
volving the company criminally in othjr
cases than the Standard Oil Company,
he will obtain immunity for himself, but
not the railroad, the Alton having been
granted Immunity only in the case of the
Standard Oil Company. It was rumored
that the summoning of Holland was due
to a statement by Moffett that agents
and officials of the Alton were responsi
ble for rates granted. '
way he had told one or two friends in
this city a little of what he knew about
the Adams case, and they are satisfied
that he had a sufficient knowledge of
Adams' alleged crimes to send him to the
gallows.
He was also employed by the State of
Idaho in ferreting out the murderer of
Bx-Governor Steunenberg, and it is
thought that his knowledge of the work
ings of the inner circles was such that
it was not safe for the members of this
organization to allow him to be free to
tell all that he knew. So Brown stated in
effect that he thought the Western Fed
eration of Miners had hired the assassins
to put him. out of the way.
Believes He Was Doomed.
During his visits to his -home in this
city Mr. Brown has always seemed to be
gloomy and downhearted. His friends
knew of no reason for this, for he was
.naturally a' man of high spirits, full of
life, and always looked on the bright side
of life. Everything was running smoothly
in his business affairs, and there was no
known cause of bis open gloom and dis
couragement. ' W:hen asked by an inti
mate friend concerning his low spirits
a-nd gloom, he replied:
"I am a doomed man. I have been
slated for removal."
Brown was a detective of no mean
ability and had noticed on several occa
sions that he was being shadowed and
followed. He was not afraid of auy
danger that can be seen ana met, but the
secret and unknown danger that always
lurked about him preyed upon his mind
and made him afraid. It is reported that
he had received several anonymous let
ters through the mail threatening his
life unless he left this part of the coun
try, but this report is not verified.
Intended to Leave State.
It is supposed, however, that he had
received warning of some kind, for he
bad confided his fears to his wife, and
she had persuaded him to leave this part
of the country, and they had Intended
moving to California In a short time and
spend the Winter there, if not to make
their permanent home there. The unex
pected occurred sooner than Mr. Brown
thought possible, and he paid for his de
lay with his life.
Met Shadow Near Home.
As to who the persons are that
shadowed and followed Mr. Brown, he
did not know, or. If he did, he never
mentioned it to any one. He has been
followed on all his trips to Idaho and
has. been watched while about his
duties In Baker City. When Mr. Brown
left his home Monday evening to go
down town on business, he noticed a
stranger in front of his home. He
spoke to the man and went across the
street to his neighbor's, and from there
to the business district.
He had just returned Monday after
noon from his mining property at
Stices Gulch and. while conversing
with a friend, said that he intended
to leave tn a short time for California.
Mrs. .Brown was not feeling well that
evenir.g, as she has trouble with her
heart, and had been worrying about
the threats that had been made upon
the life of her husband. About 9
o'clock she went to the front door and
walked out upon the porch to look
down the street to see if Mr. Brown
was coming home. She did not see him,
but noticed a tall woman' walking
along in front of the house. She
thought nothing of this, but returned
to the house and went to bed. She did
not lock "the front door, as she knew
her husband would be. home in a short
time and she would not want to get
up to let him in.
She had barely fallen asleep when she
was awakened by a terrible explosion
and rushed to the front door to see what
had happened. She wTas unable to open
the door, but could hear some one moan
ing and groaning at the gate and knew
that her husband's fears had been re
alized and that he had been blown up
with a bomb. Then she rushed to the
telephone and called up Mr. Brown's
mining partner, J. S. Kenyon.
Mr. Kenyon had heard the explosion,
but was unable to tell where it occurred
and was telephoning to Mrs. Brown. He
heard a voice at the other end as of some
one sobbing and weeping. He thought
it was Mr. Brown's daughter, Ethel, and
said:
"Is that you, Ethel?"
She replied that it was Mrs. Brown
and said to htm, "Oh, Mr. Kenyon, come
quick; I believe Harvey is dying. Glass
is flying from the windows and I cannot
open the front door. I believe we have
been dynamited."
Kenyon Immediately rushed to the
scene of the tragedy and found Brown
lying on the ground Just inside the yard
and about five feet from the "gate. He
went into the house and secured some
pillows and a comforter which he placed
under Brown. Other neighbors soon
came and Chief of Police Jackson and
some of his men were shortly on the
scene. An ambulance was summoned
and Brown taken to the hospital, where
he remained until death relieved his
suffering.
, How the Bomb Was Exploded.
The bomb which caused the death of
the ex-Sheriff ws placed Just inside the
gate on the suth side of the walk. A
wire was attached to it and this wire was
run along the top of the picket fence
about 26 feet to the corner and then West
in the street along the gutter for about
40 feet to a" point near a telephone pole.
The construction of Mr. Brown's house
is such that a horse on the north side
in the road would be hid from view of
any one passing along the front of the
house, because of the complete darkness
and lack of street lights.
There Is a porch light which throws Us
rays entirely toward the front and south
of the house. It is apparent that the
person at the end of the wire was out
in the street and touched on! the bomb as
Mr. Brown entered the gate. A brass
knuckle was attached to the end of the
wire and was used by the assassin in
pulling the wire to set off the explosion.
A gate post, six' by eight inches, was
blown to splinters, the fence was torn
away and shreds of Mr. Brown's cloth
ing and pieces of his flesh were scat
tered for many feet in every direction."
Every window pane in the house was
broken and the force of the explosion
broke windows In a house 200 feet away.
The report could be heard all over town.
and soon summoned an immense crowd
to the scene of the tragedy.
Flesh Torn From Bones.
Brown's body was badly mangled.
Five inches of the thigh bone on the
left leg was blown away and only a
little" of the flesh of the fore part
of the thigh held the lower limb to
the body. The back part of the right
thigh was blown away, leaving the bone
bare. The left hip was badly punc
tured and part of the flesh torn away.
The force of the explosion seemed to
have caught him between the knees and
his body.
Chief of Police Jackson last night
telephoned to Walla Walla .to secure
the bloodhounds from the penitentiary,
but could not get them and this morn
ing teiegrapned to Harry Draper at
Spokane, instructing him to bring his
hounds, and this evening received word
that the dogs will be here tomorrow.
The road along the North side of the
house, where the Inhuman brute stood
to touch off the bomb, has been roped
off to give the dogs a chance to pick
ur the scent.
Red Crosses on Gate-Post.
One peculiar thing that lends credit
to Brovyn's theory that the Federation
ists were back of the crime is the two
red crosses on the fence. Two similar red
crosses were found on Steunenberg's
fence. These crosses were net marked
until after the crime was committed.
Mayor Johns telegraphed the facts con
nected with the crime to Governor Cham
berlain at Salem, but as the Governor Is
absent it is not known whether the state
will offer a reward.
The County Court will meet in this city
tomorrow and Judge? Messlck stated this
evening that he was in favor of offering
a reward of $5000 for the apprehension of
the murderers, and County Commissioner
Cropp is also in favor of this action, so
a reward will doubtlessly be offered to
morrow.
Coroner's Jury Will Meet Today.
Chief of Police Jackson has taken every
precaution to prevent the escape of the
criminals, but no clue has been developed.
He is awaiting the arrival of the hounds
in the hope of tracing the perpetrators of
the awful crime.
A Coroner's Jury was empaneled tonight
at S o'clock and held an inquest over the
remains, but did not bring out anything
new in connection with the case. It was
late when the testimony was concluded
and the jury adjourned until 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning, when they will meet
and return a verdict.
