K'liutt, so it is reported, has toid Who dhl the ded and offered to lake the authorities to the place where !nvis' body and that if his horse are buried. The developments leading tip to i his denouernr nt are in 1 1-resting and are as follows: Drxlrtiy Properly of Sheepmen. tin March the ehearing plant and corrals, topether with other buildings behuiping to J. N. Williamson. were burned. A few days prior to that event a sheep camp on a tributary of the Ochieo Hbout miles vhM of Prineville, also owned by Williamson, was likewise de nt royed. On Tuesday nttfht. of last. week nnlo and a half of wire fence belong ing to Williamson was cut so badly as to completely destroy it. The fence car ried tour wires tightly stretched on posts a rod apart with staves between eaeh post. Those who did the work rode along th fence and cut. the wires on both sides f each post. About h month ro a sheep camp, a large amount of hay. and two -houses belonging to the Mcintosh Livestock Company at Paulina were burned, and at about the- same time a fence be longing to Georjte Russell at Post was badly tut. These depredations com mitted against the property of sheep men indicate that the bitter range war that was waned so fiercely a few yara nro between cattle and sheep men has not entirely died out. Sheriff f inds a Clew. Williamson hired a detective and put him to work to find the guilty parties. Sheriff Klkina also went to the scene of the fire at the shearing plant and began to look foi evidence. There they found part of a bridle hanging to a post, as though a horse had been t ied t here a nd had broken loose. Tracks about the place Indicated that more than, one horseman was present at the setting of the fire. After col lecting what evidence he could find Sheriff Klkins started to town, taking with hint the broken bridle. As he tnpjfi at the ranch of Lark in Klllott, Kli'oits little boy saw the broken brbil and vxrlalml. Wby. that ft my Pr s bridle.' One report Is t the ft. ft iht Sheriff Kikins replied. Is that so? Weil sonny, you run and get the other part of it and we will !"e if we tan fix it." The little chap ran to tiie barn and returned with the missin part of the bridle. The Sheriff Immediately a r rented fciltott and look h i m to rnnevtl le. Sine- b.-inK confined In jail Klliott ha? confessed to setting th fire and lining th fer-ro on the Willixmviii pure, stating that h was hired bv t Sam Smith, the ex-Shertff. and that Smith and h is son were pres.-nt and had a hand in b ded. Smith and his son were promptly arrested and arc now in Jatl. There Are Other Criminal. A f ttT disclosing tr-ese Interesting facts, it I reported that KHiott also said. "Weil. I'm not the only criminal in Crook County. There are a lot of others ! ran tell ynti who killed Shorty' Ta vis and can take you to wlwre his body hurled. What other disclosures he made 1S not known, but !t is reported that he nas Implicated 'j persons living at Prineville and vi cinity, some of tlvm prominent busi ness men and stock raisers. It is known, however, that Sher iff Klkina and Ptstrict Attorney Menefee, took K'liott and drove out into t he coffntry. When they returned t hey refused to talk and would not say whether or not they had found Iavis" remains or anything to substantiate Kl lott's story. Their silence would indi cate that their search had not been in ain. Prineville Is on the keen et'HO. of excitement as to what will follow. Another report is to the effect that Smit h has confessed everything and has owned up to a plot in which he and Kllioit were to have dynamited Wil liamson's house while he waa asleep. This report is not generally believed, however. Sheriff Klkins and District Attorney Menefee hint that more arrests will follow, and the Sheriff is reported to have said. "There will be hell popping next week." Case of -'Shorty" Oavls. ft will he remembered that "Shorty" Iavis was a wealthy sheep man living southeast of Prineville who mysteriously disappeared about eight years ago. No trace of him has ever, been found and It has been generally believed he was mur dered. At the term of court last May a brother from tireeee appeared, proved his relationship to Iavis, and the prop erty was surrendered to him. Davis i the man whom Klltott says the cattle men killed. Cattle men hate with a dire hatred all dieep and sheep men. and' if Davis was killed it was in order to rid the range of his sheep. The recent dep reciations committed agra-inst Williamson and other sheep men are undoubtedly Intended, to produce the same result. The question now In the minds of everyone is whether the cat has not at last been let out of the hag by one of the crowd confessing and whether the gang that carried things with such a hU;h hand a few years hko are not about to receive the lone-delayed but just desserts -for the crimes they committed when the country was so new that law and order could not be enforced.

For Srt years Mr. Iwrence has been engaged in this work and was some time ago appointed superintendent for life. He has ST teachers under him- His talk was on the work of the Sunday school teacher. He said that prepara tion man essential for the teacher as the hinge on which the Sunday school swings. 'The teacher must be familiar with her text-book, the Bible, and must have knowledge of the laws of teaching. He said there were many good people out of the church, but that there were "guerilla saints enough." and that the Sunday school must get young people Into the church. The morning session today was con sumed with the hearing of reports from various branches of the Sunday school work. The leading address of the morn ing session was that of A. II. Cross, of Cleveland. Ohio, on "The Value of the Home Department." In the afternoon Professor K. 0. Kxoell led the prajse service and a number of addresses were made. "Bible Study" was the subject of the address of Rev. S. V. .Milligan. of Portland, and Rev. W. C. Meritt followed with "Fundamentals in Teacher Train ing." Rev. I.uther R. Pyott. pastor of the First Congregational Church, had for his subject "The New in the Old." It was an eloquent appeal for the applications of new methods to the old.

STAHTED ACROSS STREET. j TWO women uore sevortly hurt, a 14-yoar-oltl girl was bruUed und a baby of 6 months strangely im periled throush tho wrecking of a i'ity Park streotcar, at thr corner of Twenty third and Wahinton streets, a few minutes before 1 o'clock yesterday after noon. The victims were crossing the street at the time and were struck by the rear end of the car which was swept with force towards the sidewalk when the rear trucks of the car left the main line and took to a curve down Tw-enty-third street. Mrs. Fred N'eff, of SW Washington street, and Mrs. Edward Stedttr. of 115 East Lincoln street, were the ones to meet severe injury, both being hurt about the head. Edna Neff. 14 years old. got off with minor bruises while Mrs. Sdtera baby escaped unhurt after" falling from a perambulator almost under the wheels of the car. It was hit by the fender but no bruise was to be found afterwards. Both women were rendered unconscious. They were taken at once to St. Vincent s Hospital where they were attended by Dr. EX A. Rockey. Mrs. Neff was found to have been the more severely hurt al though it is not believed her injuries will result fatally or even seriously. Mrs. Stcdter was badly shaken up but her injuries seemed of a superficial nature. Many cars have been wrecked through failure of the rear trucks to follow true to their course in pacing curves but this case is the first one on record in Port land where bystanders were injured thereby. The car was going at an ordi nary rate of speed. The switch seemed to be tightly closed and the front trucks passed over without difficulty. But as the front set of wheels of the rear truck reached the switch they veered down Twenty-third street and the car swept rapidly around. Mrs. Neff. Mi.s Stedter and the chil dren were waiting tor the car to pass and had no opportunity to get out of the way of the unexpected danger. Both were struck down and lay insensible until picked up and carried into a nearby drugstore. In the commotion the baby escaped notice for a moment but was picked up unharmed by E. A. Robinson, a drugcist. , Restoratives were applied and the in jured women shortly became conscious. It was thought at the time that Mrs. Stedter was seriously injured. Both were resting easy last night, Mrs. Stedter's recovery is only the matter of a ' few days and every hope Is held out for Mrs. Neff's ultimate recovery. Bl cm D DR. PERKINS' SANITARY REFRIGERATORS Embodies the most perfect and sanitary principle of food preservation, which is at all times forcing fresh, pure air into and expelling impure air from the Refrigerator. No other Refrigerator can show such a posi tively pure, fresh-air circulation, and it is from this principle that the "Sanitary" has derived its name. The common-sense sim plicity of these Refrigerators is clearly shown in the accompanying illustration. Fresh air enters the Refrigerator at tha intake "A." Air chamber "B," being constantly filled, acts as a tempering chamber. The forcing of fresh air into this chamber expels a proportionate amount of partially cooled air into chamber "C," where it is further cooled, and immediately drops to provision chamber "D," where the warm and im pure air is forced through outlet "E." Dr. Perkins' Refrigerators cost no more than ordinary refrigerators, and are far more efficient, sanitary and economical. We show the many styles and sizes, from the small Cottage Re frigerator to the largest restaurant and hotel sizes. NEW PROCESS i GAS RANGES IN THE BASEMENT :OMPLETE-H005E-FURni5WER5lSS.
