BRUTAL CRIME QF
AN INSANE FATHER
Warren McKay, of Tenino,
Wash., Butchers Wife and
Two of His Children.
FALLS DEAD SOON AFTER
Attacks With Hammer and Ruxor
'. While Family Sleeps Wife Puts
: Cp Fierce Struggle One
Child May Recover.
TENTNO. Wash.. March 14. (Spe
cial.) Warren McKay killed his wife
and two children at hia home her?
farly this morning, attempted to mur
iier hia third child, and then dropped
dead, a victim to a cancerous growth
which had dethroned his reason.
Tho murder in its execution was
fiendish and complete. The family was
asleep when McKay began his deadly
work. With a hammer he crushed in
the skull of his four-year-old son Wal
lace, who was sleeping in hia bed. and
then with a razor nearly severed the
child's head from its body.
Apparently the mother then rushed
in from her room, which was adjoining,
and engaged in a desperate struggle
with the mad man. Her body snows
she was terribly beaten by the ham
mer and also cut frightfully about the
face and body before McKay succeeded
in cutting her throat.
The murderer then went into his
wife's room, -where the daughters
Iorothy, aged five, and Gladys, aged
nine were asleep. Both of these chil
dren he rendered senseless by 'pound
ing them on the head with the hammer.
Falls Dead From Excitement.
He probably thought these blows
bad killed the elder girl, because he
Hid not attack her further. But with
the raior he cut the throat of the little
girl.
Then he placed the bloody razor and
hammer on a table in an adjoining
room and started toward town. He was
clad only in his underclothes, and in
his excitement he put his shoes on the
wrong feet. He had not traveled
more than 200 yards from the house
when lie stumbled and fell dead by
the roadside.
John Patton. a neighhor. discovered
the body of McKay about o'clock
while on his way to work. He Imme
diately notified City Marshal Thomas
Krulcy. who telephoned Coroner D. C.
Mntes at Olympla.
The Marshal then went to the Mc
Kay house to notify Mrs. McKay of
her husband's death and then the fur
ther tragedy was discovered. Gla.iys,
(he eldest girl, was found to be still
Rlive. and she was promptly removed
to the home of a neighbor.
One Child May Recover.
Dr. C. E. Robson was called and
found that one blow from the hammer
had apparently fractured the child's
skull, and another, a glancing blow,
had simply bruised the scalp. The doc
tor says there is some hope the child
will recover. She was sent to a hos
pital at Olympla this afternoon.
On McKay's body no Injuries were
found to Indicate a violent death. The
doctor la of the, opinion that McKay
was crazed from the inroads on the
brain of a nasal cancer, from which
he had long suffered, and that follow
ing the crime, the excitement and
shock brought on a hemorrhage which
caused his death.
McKay was about 4K years old and
his wife about 40. They .'ame here
from Michigan about 30 years ago.
Mrs. McKay's parents arc said to still
reside in that state.
Two sisters of McKay reside here,
being Mrs. Peter Currie and Mrs. Ar
thur Wilson. Currie and Wilson were
arrested a few years ago for cattle
stealing, and after their conviction
Currie committed suicide. Wilson's
sentence of imprisonment was recently
commuted by the Governor.

trict Court went Into session here to

entries In township 10 south, and range
IS east is being made. The lands ad
join the original site selected for the

able grade could not be secured for the

that contestants compromised for one
half of the, acreage. Some 20 witnesses

HXD FILTHY PCS IX MILK
.Startling Report After Analysis at
State College laboratories.
OORVALLIS. Or. March 10 (Special.)
Samples of milk received for analysis
during the past week at the bacteriolog
ical department at the college have been
unusually noticeable for filth. Seven of
them from various parts of the stale con
tained pus. One held the foreign matter
in such quantities that it is estimated
to have contained one-tenth of 1 per cent.
Professor Pernot's attention was attract
ed by the unusual amount, and he made
inquiries of the owner of the animal and
ascertained that there was a large lump
several inches in diameter on the body of
the cow, near the udder. - it was sup
posed to have developed from an injury
received from the horn of another cow,
and had developed into an abscess. It
was, of course, the explanation of the
pus in the milk. The milk was in use
when the sample was sent to the labora
tory. Of the six other samples in which
pus developed, the quantity was much
smaller. In these the history of the cases
waa not learned.
Some time ago at the laboratory sam
ples of cream offered at an Oregon
creamery were' analyzed. They had a
atrong smell that was carried into the
butter product. Analysis disclosed that
the foreign substance waa barn filth, due
to probable uncleanllnesa in milking. A
report resulted in changed conditions in
the .dairies from which the cream was
shipped.

jury today failed to return indictments
against Kate Murray and Ella Vander
lip, the two women caught shop-lifting
In this city in January. In both cases
a 4'not true indictment" was returned.
Mrs. Murray was caught taking a purse
from tne store of D. O. Woodworth and

stores were found at her residence In
this city. Mrs. Vanderlip, who lives
st Halsey, was caught taking articles
in the store of Chambers & McCune
and a grip she carried contained a num
ber of purloined articles. It is sup
posed that the grand jury failed to
return Indictments because of the miti
gating circumstances Involved, rather
than from lack of evidence. Mrs. Mur
ray is a victim of kleptomania and Mrs.
Vanderlip Is a morphine fiend. Since
her arrest Mrs. Vanderllp's husband

this afternoon awarded the contract for
the construction of the administration

plumbing to Bernardl 4b Iunsford, also

mitted, all from contractors of Salem,
with the exception of one, which was
from Wilson & Flynn, of Portland, who
offered to construct the laundry, and
boiler-house for $1648 and $1950, respective
ly. These gentlemen, however, failed to
enclose a certified check, as required, and
as their bids were far below any of the
others, the next lowest being over $3000
it was considered that some mistake must
have been made. There Is only $61,058
available of the appropriation for the con
struction of the buildings and. in order
to come within the limit of the fund it
was decided to leave out the item for a
horse and cattle 'barn, which was bid in
at $6120. which will leave a balance of
about $1500 to the credit of the fund.

tion of having forced the issue and a de
cision will be reached within a few days.
He was told that the Fishermen's Union
had merely used him as a catspaw to
rake their chestnuts out of the ,flre, but
he will be given an opportunity to make
himself more clear as to his policy of
protection to salmon on the Columbia
River before final action is taken.
"If Master Fish Warden Van Dusen is
removed," said Governor Chamberlain at
the close of the meeting tonight,, "it will
not be for the purpose of Influencing the
action of the people on any of the bills
now pending before the people, but for
other reasons entirely."
Whatever action is taken by the Board
will be because of Van Dusen's change
of policy in regard to salmon protection
on the Columbia, as reflected in his re
ports of recent years.
Politics has ceased to have any influ
ence or bearing upon the Master Fish
Wardenshlp, and when a successor to Mr.
Van Dusen is chosen it will be by the
Board as a whole, and Governor Cham
