BODY SHOWS MANY MARKS On Arrival at Girl's Home Post Mor tem Is Held and Evidence lads to Belief That Severe Strug gle Has Taken Place. INDEPENDENCE, Or., May 6. (Spe cial.) Was there foul play in the death of Miss Lillian Wyman, -which occurred at Tacoma. April 23, In the Point De fiance Pavilion, where she wu a wait ress? Such U the belief of the Coroner of Polk County, and the undertaker at Independence, both pt whom made an examination of the remains. Accord ing to Coroner Chapman, W. L. Bice, the undertaker who had charge of the remains, and Dr. E. L. Ketchum, who made an examination of the body, It was impossible for a dead body to re ceive and show such bruises as were found on the remains of Mies Wyman when they arrived In Independence from Tacoma. On the neck were apparent finger prints which might Indicate a deadly struggle had taken place, and the vic tim had been choked to death. Be tween the eyes were knuckle-prints, as if a heavy blow had been dealt. Mi'gs Wyman had put on her jacket and hat and had one glove on and the J other in her hand ready to return to her home In the north end of Tacoma when the supposed encounter occurred. Jn the opinion of Mr. Mosenian, step father of the dead girl, it was an Im possibility for the girl to fall in the position in which she was found and at the same time bear marks on her body such as were found when the re mains reached Independence. A few minutes before she was laugh ing and talking with companions, in the best of health, and for this reason foul play Is suspected. The body was reclining on the floor, and the bead resting on a pillow on the couth. Miss Wyman had formed an attach ment for a 16-year-old girl who washed dishes in the establishment, and it hal been their custom to bid . each other good-bye every evening on leaving. This evening Miss Wyman had not done so, and the girl went to see if she were in the building. On entering the parlor, she found the unfortunate young woman dead. At the time death occurred it is evi dent there were only five or six people present. Harry R. Manley, who owns the pavilion in partnership with his brother, who was absent at the time, was in the imthroom, which adjoins the parlor. When discovered later he was in the bathroom preparing to shave.- He is presumed to have been the only man on the promisee' at that hour of the evening. , .- According to the inquest of the Cor oner at Tacoma, there were no bruises on the body. That does not correspond with the Inquest held over the remains here. Dr. Ketchura, W. L. Bice and County Coroner Chapman pronounce the circumstantial evidence very strong that the victim met with foul play. DEATH DIE TO BROKEX NECK Police Investigation of Miss Wy- nian's Death Reveals o Crime. TACOMA. Wash., May o. (Special.) Miss Lillian Wyman died in a room at Point Defiance Park Pavilion April 23, as the result of a fall, and there is not the sligh.st ground for suspect ing foul play. . Several days after the funeral it was gossiped about in the orth End that there were suspicious circumstances in connection with the death of the young woman, and that her throat bore marks as if she had been strangled. These reports became more exaggerated as they spread, and finally reached the police department. Detective D. O. Smith was assigned to the case and spent several days in an investigation. He was unable to get the slightest evidence of foul nlav. Miss Wyman vat . employed as a waitress at the .Pavilion, and 15 min utes after she had gone to an upstairs room in the Pavilion she was found dead by a girl friend. Miss Wyman Is believed to have been seized by a fainting spell and in falling struck a couch in the room, breaking her neck, The unfortunate young woman had finished her work and had gone up stairs to get her wraps preparatory to going to the home of her sister, Mrs. John Ellis. Physicians were called. But the girl was dead before they ar rived. Coroner Stewart held an au lopsy the next day and found that death was the result of a broken neck.

She ran outside to see n it were there and found that neighbors were arriving, bat the child was miss- nr. Again she started into the name- wrapped building, but kindly neigh bors forcibly detained her. as to enter was certain death. Both the mother and older child were terribly burned, and the infant perished In the fire. The building was small and soon des troyed. Then the charred trunk ot the baby was found In the ruins.

TWO TO 20 YEARS OREGON CITY EMBEZZLER OL SON IS SENTENCED. Changes Plea to Guilty and Has Xothing to Say "When Sentence Is Passed Taken to Salem. OREGON CITY. Or., May 5. (Spe cial.) Otto F. Olson, self-confessed forger and embezzler, was this morning given an indeterminate sentence of not less than two years nor more than 20 years in the State Penitentiary. Olson this morning entered a plea of guilty to the charge of forging the name of Rudolph Koerner to a note for $250, which he obtained from H7 C. Stevens on the strength of Koerner'a signature George C. Brownell, attorney for Olson, read to the court a lengthy statement made by Dr. House, an alienist of Port land, stating that Olson's mind was so crazed over his mining speculations that he was unable to distinguish right from wrong. In passing sentence. Judge McBride expressed sympathy for Olson's family. but said that the man must have known that his criminal acts were wrongful and unlawful. Olson undoubtedly prof ited by his plea of guilty, for it is the custom for the Governor to issue a pardon to a criminal, sentenced to an indeterminate term, after the mini mum, time has elapsed, and this will be two years in Olson's case. Olson was taken to Salem this afternoon. He had nothing to Bay when sentence was passed. TAKES A BATH TO ESCAPE Freight -Train Catches Gang of Sec tion Men in Cut. M'CORMICK. Wash., May 5.

Both the derelict's an chors wore down but she was drifting slowly to the north. The Kelton's deckload was gone, her after-house entirely carried away and she was waterlogged, the lumber Jn her hold being the only thing that kept her afloat. The (find is considered a good one for the Washington owners, as there is about 200,000 feet of lumber in the hold, the vessel haa excellent machinery, and as her hull Is of oak, it Is not thought to be seriously damaged. , The tow up the coast was a hard one, and on account of the strong tide the Washington was over -five hours crossing in over the bar. Captain (Nason dropped the derelict on the tide flats below Smiths Point and left his mate and one sailor on board. .He has wired his owners concern ing the prize and will await their instruc tions regarding her.

It is as impossible to find anything that will take the place of real coffee as would be to imagine that you could grow plants by means of an electric light as well as by the rays of the sun. People who have struggled to find a so-called substitute for coffee, because coffee as they have always known it has disagreed with them, need have no further trouble. Order today. Beahd Coffee Formerly called " DE-TAN-ATED" COFFEE You find will that you can make from it the most delicious beverage you have ever drunk. You can drink all you want of it and it will positively do you no harm. You will find that you can make a cup with less "Purl-tan ftted"than any other brand, hence it is most economical to use. The reason is that " Puri - tan -ated " is nothing but the best coffee obtainable, from which- by special machinery has been removed the poison bearing, bitter tasting, cellulose tissue. This is what does the harm in ordinary coffees. This is what causes many coffees, especially cheap coffees, to have a bitter taste. This is a subject worth investigating.
