SUSPICION
OF FOUL PLAY
Death of Independence Girl in
: Tacoma Considered More
Than Accident.
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.
OPPOSE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
Small Towns Being Shown How Ei'
pen.se Is Divided.
OREGON CITT, Or., May 5. (Spe
cial.) Promoters of the plan to estab
lish a County High School in Clacka
mas County are finding considerable
antagonism in some of the small towns
of the county. Attorney C. Scliuebel,
Clarence L. Eaton and Professor L. A.
Reed, principal of the Parkplace School
addressed a meeting last night at Es-
tacada. It was the vote in the towns
with small population in Clackamas
County that killed the project two
years ago. Mr. Schuebel and others
interested are directing a number of
meetings and are showing that while
two-thirds of the students for a County
High School would come from the
sparsely settled portions of the county,
about two-thirds of the expense would
be borne by the property-owners of
Oregon City and vicinity.

Baby in Destruction of Home.
JOHN DAY, Or., May 5. (Special.)
A subscription paper is being circu
lated here, and liberally signed, for
the sufferers from one of the most
shocking accidents ever occurring in

dows. The mother told the child to
stay where it was and went into the
house after the other child, a boy of
four. She found the little fellow In
flames and the house fast burning
down in a heavy wind storm.
She fought down the flames as well
as she could and carried the boy out
mUU. Thar aha looked in vain for the
small child, which had followed her
nto the burning house. She rushed
Inside and looked wherever she was
able to go, but found no trace of the
Infant. 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. The
mother is frantic with grief and suf
fering, and it was feared she would
lose her reason, but Dr. O. K. Wolf,
who went from here, says that he be
lieves that she will recover. The
older child Is thought to be out of
danger.
In addition to popular subscription.
the Mt. Vernon nubile school will give
an entertainment, the proceeds of
which will be given the stricken par
ents, who lost all their doming ana
personal effects in the fire.

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. (Spe
cial.) The lives of four Italian section
men, under Foreman Lawrence, were im
periled today by being caught in the big
cut east or Mccormick by the local
Northern Pacific freight, which complete
ly demolished the handcar on which they
were riding and ditched two freight cars.
So complete was the surprise that one of
the Italians was forced to. jump into the
river to save himself. The engineer blew
his whistle, as usual, on nearing the cut.
but the Italians apparently believed it to
be one of the McCormick logging trains
which was due to arrive in McCormick
about that time. All escaped uninjured
save for a few light scratches sustained
by one of the men.

GETS RICH POIZE
Steamer Washington Picks Up
Derelict Kelton.
HARD TOW UP THE COAST
Strong Tide Causes Passage of Bar
to Take, Five Hours Kelton Is
Found Entirely Abandoned and
. . Drifting Off Yaquina Head.
ASTORIA, Or., May 5 (Special) The
derelict steamer Minnie E. Kelton, of
Aberdeen, wrecked in the open sea off the
Oregon coast above Newport on Saturday
night last, when a dozen lives were sacri
ficed, is now at anchor in the lower har
bor at this port.
The steamer Washington, with the dere
lict in tow, reached this city this even
ing, although she started in over the bar
shortly aften ten o'clock this morning.
Captain Nason, of the Washington, says
he found the Kelton entirely deserted at
10:30 yesterday morning, about seven
miles north of Yaquina Head and five
miles off-shore. 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.

Takes First Place Unanimously In
Triangular Debate.
STATE COLLEGE. Pullman, Wash.,

G. Shr'oeder, of O. A. C, won the inter
collegiate oratorical contest, which
was held in the State College auditor
ium, between W. S. C, Whitman Col
lege and the Oregon institution. Mr.
Shroeder"s oration was "Nature's Call,"
and in it he contrasted city life with
country life, making a strong appeal
in favor of the latter. His oration
possessed a strong "human interest"
vein, which, coupled with splendid
presentation, and a masterful use of
language, gave an undisputed right to
first place. This is the first time in
seven years that W. S. C. has failed to
win. in this intercollegiate contest.
P. P. Brainard, of Whitman, pre
sented "The Modern Menace," and by
the term "menace," referred to mor
monism. He spoke of the failure of
the United States to bring the, Mor
mons to terms, and asserted that the
Mormons had modified their customs,
until they had obtained statehood, and
were now tending toward their former
beliefs. H. E. Goldsworthy, of W. S.
Ct, chose "Education and Citizenship"
as his theme, and in his treatment
thereof, asserted the close relation be
tween education and citizenship, and
made a strong plea in behalf of higher
education for all citizens of the
nation.
The judges were: Dean Priest, Uni
versity of Washington; Professor J. S.
Snoddy, University of Montana: Pres
ident J. C. McLean, University of
Idaho; all of whom judged on thought
and composition. On delivery: Pro
fessor Soulen, U. of I.; President

li. C. Dolley Under Arrest for Filing
on Claims In Southern Oregon
That Were Worthless.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 5. (Special.)
L. C. Dolley, manager of the Montana
Timber Company, with offices In this
city, is under arrest charged with obtain
ing money by false pretenses. S. E.
Griggs, a dentist who has an office in
the same building as Dolley is the com
plaining witness, and Griggs' business
partner, Dr. S. B. Lee, says he has
also been victimized. Dolley is accused
of accepting fees . for filing claims on
lands in Oregon, representing that the
Government was about to take them over
after annulling them as land grants to
various railroads while as a. matter of
fact no such condition existed.
In Griggs' complaint Dolley is charged
with having taken $50 from him last
December for filing on a quarter sec
tion of timber land near Roseburg. It
was subsequently established that the
land had been patented in 1896 and no
such claim could be allowed. Griggs as
serts that Dolley knew this and promised
to refund the money if the claim was no
good. The claim is worthless and now
he refuses to pay back the money. Dol
ley does business at Roseburg through
C. I. Leavengood, and the latter signed
the receipt for Dr. Lee's claim.

Gut Out Coffee S
Don't keep on wi'i the struggle to learn to like a substitute for
real coffee. 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.
