v ho w re t he mnrdeivrs of "Shorty"
Mavis, a wealt hy sheep man who disap
rt.aroii some eight or nine yenrs aiyo and
of wimni not a trace has he n found from
that day to tins. 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.

f'huroh al last night's session of the
State Sunday school convention. More
than k deiexatcs are in atten.l.im-c and
1:1 i-ounties are represented. The sour
service led by K. O. Ex.-ell proved in
spiring and the closing song by A. Sin
ner made a mv.mik impression on the
audience. Rev. Willi:im II. Foulkes.
pastor of the First Tresbyteiian limvh.
Portland, delivered a stronB address.
His theme was "Except These Abide."
He spoke of the recent and pajt efforts
of textual and higher Bible critics, whom
he declared had done more to build up
the faith than to overthrow It. He was
followed by General Secretary Marion
Lawrence, superintendent of a Sunday
school In Toledo. Ohio, having 1S00 mem
bers. 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.

Havoc Among Dealers.
TACOMA. Wash.. April 28. (Spe
cial.) HesJth Officer Sargentich has
been busy during; the past few days,
to the sorrow of fruit dealers and
butchers and has begun the enforce
ment of 3anltary ordinances that have
long been covered with cobwebs. In
many instances he has met with wil
lingness on the part of law violators
to. .lean up and stny clean, but others
inave defied him, and' today he seized a
quantity of dates exposed on a fruit
stand and sent them to the furnace.
Other fruit dealers have been notified
to keep covered all dates and figs and
similar fruits and are complying with
the request.
One of the most Important rules to
be enforced will be that of protecting
meat in transportation to and from
butcher shops. All meat In transit
must be well covered with hurlap or
canvas. No market will be allowed to
hang meat for display or expose fish
in open windows. or on trays where it

The large stock barn on the "Halfour

Scappoose was destroyed by fire last
night. Four head of stock and several
tons of hay were consumed. The lire

a cow locked in a 6hed was found after
the fire unharmed, and had evidently
been turned out by the tirehufe. The
loss Is $2000. with no insurance.

OK ACUOEAT AT TWE .VrY-THIRU AXD WASHINGTON, FIOIRES SHOWING WHERE W0.ME. 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.

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.
