Perilous Trip of Mounted Policeman to Get Murderer and Terrible Journey Over Snow. VANCOUVER, B. C, Feb. 2. (Special.) F. J. Trumper, an American mining engineer of Cleveland, O., is in jail in Kamloops on a charge of murder. Behind his arrest is an unusual etory of a tragic romance of the northern mines. A year ago, Trumper and a prospector named George. Coleman, went into the Peace River country, the northeastern corner, of British Columbia, to look at new gold finds located there. They 'bought several claims and started to work. The properties turned out ' ex ceptionally well, but too much prosperity was had for the mining partners, and they quarreled. Then they decided to divide the property. It was in making the division that they had a fight. Trumper admits that he fired the shot that killed Coleman, but declares that the shooting was done hi self-defense. All this happened in November. News of the tragedy was sent to the mounted police Btation. at Peace River Crossing. On December S Staff -Sergeant Anderson set out to bring Trumper in to jail. Tne officer had a terrible trip in northern storms. He nearly lost his life in malt ing the crossing of the Peace River and the remainder of the Journey by dog sleigh was rough and stormy. Trumper had made no attempt to get away and im mediately placed himself at the disposal of the officer when the latter arrived. The body of the murdered man had not been disturbed and lay in the place where Coleman had fallen when hit. His head was "badly bruised and one side of his face was burned away, for he had reeled into the Are of his log cabin after the bullet struck him. One arm was also burned. His body was frozen stiff. After making an. investigation, the of ficer started south with his man and -arrived at Kamloops two days ago. They suffered untold hardships on the trail. The trip of 400 miles over snow and ice and glaciers was probably one of the most rema:able on record. On Friday, Trumper was arraigned be fore a magistrate at Kamloops and en tered a plea of not guilty to the charge of murder. He alleges self-defense as his excuse for the crime. The charge , will probably toe reduced to one of man slaughter. If witnesses have to be sent for, it will be the first of May before they will have a chance to reach the outside world.

From August Schaffer, Who Resisted Thugs In East ' Side Suburb. August Schaffer, the laborer who was shot while resisting two highwaymen near the Crystal Springs farm, near Sellwood, Saturday night, died at St. Vincent's Hospital at 4 o'clock yester day morning. After being received at the hospital, Schaffer did not recover consciousness, and died without being able to make any statement. The body was removed to the morgue, and at 3 o'clock this afternoon Coroner Finley will hold an fnqueat. The shooting of Schaffer occurred about 7:30 o'clock Saturday night. He. together with four companions, all em ployes of the Crystal Springs farm, .were on their way to the city. They had been paid off and had part of their money with them. All five are foreign ers and know but very little of the Knglish language, but by means of an interpreter the police secured a fair description of the murderers. The bullet which caused the death of Schaffer was extracted after the man died, and was fonnd to be of 32 caliber'. The missile had entered tho breast just a trifle to the right of the center of the breast-bone, passed through the liver and lodged in the back near the spinal cord. August Schaffer was a native of the southern part of Russia, and was 37 years of age. He is survived by a wife and two children, who etill reside in Russia, but their address is unknown. He is said to have a cousin living near Portland, but the name of this man was not learned. As the deceased was destitute, his remains will probably be interred at the County Poor Farm..' A systematic search is being con ducted by the Police Department, and while the officers will not announce the nature of their suspicions, It Is hinted that they have a clue to the identity of the murderous thugs, and hope to make an arrest within a few days. PERILS OF CROSSING FERRY Tight-Rope Walking Necessary to Reacli Vancouver. Wash. PORTLAND, Feb. . tTo tho Editor. ) I have often heard of the hardshios and perils which travelers in the wilds of Alaska have to endure, but scarcely dreamed that a trip to Vancouver, Wash., only a few miles distant from this city of 150.000 people, would entail almost as much discomfort as a journey on a whaling ship. I have no complaint to make of the streetcar ride to the river, excepting the bother of having to Day one's fare twice, but at the ferry landing, our troubles commenced In Rood shape. It is, I should Judge, several hundred feet from where the car stons to the ferry landing. After walking this distance In a terrific wind, with the thermometer below the freezing point, we were compelled to stand at the entrance to the ferry and present our tickets one at a time, before being allowed on board. -Several ol the passengers. Including my self, were Incumbered with packages, while nearly all were hanging to their hats lest they (the people) be blown Into the river. I was confronted with the problem of get ting out my ticket from a card-case in an inner pocket and at the same time keeping hold of my hat, etc. - After much delay, the crowd finally got past the ticketcollector and boarded the ferry boat. By collecting the tickets outside, the operating company saved the risk of losing 10 cents by some body hiding on top of the steam boiler or in the engine-room, as no doubt many pas sengers would ilock there to keen from freezing to death. A. man who freezes to death on a steamboat or a streetcar is a dead loss to the company. On our return from Vancouver. Wash., we were treated to a scene that made our former experience seem like a jollification party. On account of the tide being out. the ferry boat could not approach within perhaps ten feet of the landing. Across the intervening Bpace was . laid (by some thoughtful employe of the company, who evidently doubted our ability to jump the distance) a wobbly" plank, ten or-12 inches in width. Aside from a steady nerve, there was nothing whatever to keep one from falling into the Columbia River, and as the wind was blowing at a tremendous velocity, it was even a hazardous undertaking for a tightrope walker. Nevertheless, we were ordered, one at a time, to crosa A number succeeded in ne gotiating the trick successfully, including several plucky women. The more cautious and timid among the' passengers, however, balked at taking their lives in their hnds or rather feet for the sake of saving the company buying a gang-plank with rope supporters. So the cry went up: Bring a rope." A small rope, three Inches in di ameter, was found, and with men and crew holding each end. the remaining passen gers cropsed in comparative safety. Foot ing was not any too sure on the wharf, however, as the boards were teovered with ice which had gathered, the waves throw ing up water and spray. The latter is not 4he fault of the operating company, al thouKu an embankment could be built which would keep back the water. I understand than: the tide being so far out. thus giving rise to the hair-raising method of landing the passengers, was an unusual occurrence. I am also assured that it is an unusual occurrence for the Portland Railway Company ever to be prepared for any such emergency. MORDAT'NT A. GOODNOCGH. At the Theaters What the Press Agents Say.

I notice the dilemma in which the of ficials of Linn County find themselves in regard to Hindus who wish to become citi zens. If the race to which a man belongs decides his eligibility, and if all Caucasians may become citizens of the United States, then the Hindus are eligible- as they belong to the Caucasian race.

The Abyssinians are black, but they possess th characteristics which mark them Caucasian. Not having access to any learned book authorities, I cannot speak from a legal standpoint as to who are eligible to become American citizens, but am of the opinion that it is not a question of race. I know that some of the best citizens we have among us belong to the yellow race. I spent last summer among them and found them to be desirable citizens In all respects. They are honest. Industrious, social and enter prising, and they have a clear conception of what political liberty means. The spirit of anarchy, such a prominent characteristic among the Italian and some other of our foreign-born citizens, finds no place in the yellow race's creed. They are Americans nnd are proud .of it. They celebrate the Fourth of July with an enthusiasm and loyalty that put to shame -the half-hearted manner In which mnny native Americans welcome our natal day. Two years ago, July SO. they gathered at the schoolliouse. spent the night there, and. when the rosy dawn gilded the East, they welcomed the nation's birthday with the booming of guns and songs of praise. Even the little fellows Joined the general rejoic ing and popped firecrackers to beat the band. All kinds of patriotic songs were sung, and speeches fell from lips unused to oratory. Old ladies were present who could not speak a word of English, but they could worship the Stars and Stripes in any lan guage, and they did It In Finnish. B. A.
