TWO FOUND DEAD;
DUEL OR MURDER
Gory Tragedy on the
Peninsula
CASE SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
One Killed With Shotgun;
Other With Sharp Ax.
WEAPONS "LIE BY BODIES
Bodies of Oscar Hiett and John Dale
Discovered on l.-oncly Dock Pre
serve by Wife of Former, AVlio
Is Thought to Be Cause.
Oscar Hiett. aged 23, and John Dale,
M years old, were found lying
dead, the victima of ' a desperate
duel, or a fiendish murder, at a
duck preserve on Columbia Hough, two
miles southeast of St. John, at 10:30 o'clock
yesterday forenoon. An ax and a ehot
pun,. lying between the bodies, revealed
the manner of death. Hiett had been
killed by a cliarpe of bird shot fired
from a distance into the side of his head.
Dale's death resulted from a blow with
a sharp ax across the forehead. The
bodies lay side by sid and there was no
evidence of any struggle. Seemingly
the two lay where they had fallen. Dale
was on the preserve as a watchman for
H. U Pittock and F. W. Ieadbetter, who
own the place. Hiett had been staying
with him at intervals and Mrs. Hiett
was there with her husband occasionally.'
Although the theory now favored by
tli? authorities after a day of minute
investigation Is that Dale shot Hiet,
while partly drunk, and was then struck
down by the younger man, an element
of profound mystery prevails. A num
ber of peculiar facts surround the case
and the theory of a fatal combat be
tween the two men is not yet fully ac
cepted without question.
AVoinan Cause of Quarrel.
The men are known to have quarreled
over Mrs. Hiett. bride of less than a year.
The trouble over the woman occurred just
before Christmas and. since then the men
have seemed to be friends again.
Dale Is known to have said he would
separate the couple, which lends color
to the duel theory. On the other hand,
two valuable shotguns,, belonging to
3Mr. Leadbetter, are missing from the
clubhouse. Dale, too. Is reputed to have
had considerable money buried on the
preserve. The preponderance of evi
dence points to the belief that each
man killed the other, but the authori
ties are in nowise satlbflcd that the two
were not murdered by others.
Mrs. Hiett. the comely young bride
over whom the two men have quar
reled, was the one to discover the two
bodies. In company with her 13-year-old
brother, Claud Bushor, she went to
the duck preserves in search of her
husband. She says he left her Sunday
morning In Albina, saying he was go
ing to see Dale and that he would re
turn to her by 1 P. M.
Wire Slakes Ghastly rind.
Indescribably horrible was the spec
tacle she met in approaching the club
house, which rests In a thick clump of
bushes, a hundred yards from the duck
lake. . Out in front of the cabin, be
side a frame leanto used for the stor
age of wood, she nearly stumbled over
the bodies of Tier husband and Dale.
She displayed considerable courage and
did not become hysterical. Sending her
brother to call C. V. Bergen, a dairy
man whose place is a quarter of a mile
distant, she remained by the body of
her husband until Bergen arrived.
She was ciouched beside the ghastly
object, crying, when Bergen came. He
sent her away at "once and she said
she would go to the home of her moth
er, Mrs. K. R. Bushor, 1037 Lively
utreet. St. John. She also asked that
Hiett's body bo sent there.
Dale Was Heavy Drinker.
Hiett was last seen alive Sunday
morning, when he left his wife to go
to Dale's place. Dale was last seen
Saturday afternoon, when he " was
about Portland In company with Hiett.
His employment on the duck preserve
had terminated and he was on the
point of removing all personal effects
from the clubhouse. Although he had
made frequent claims to being prosper
ous, he borrowed 5 from Bergen, the
dairyman, on Kriday. Saturday he
drew $15 pay from O. L. Pierce, secre
tary of the Pittock & Leadbetter Com
pany, which hired him. Most of this
money supposedly went for liquor, as
Dale was a heavy drinker. Four
, nickels were found in his' pockets when
the body was searched. There was no
evidence that the pockets had been
rifled.
Just when Dale returned to the club
house is not known. No one in the
vicinity recalls having seen him Sun
day. No one heard any shooting on
the duck preserve Sunday afternoon,
when the tragedy must have occurred.
Nor had any one noticed Dale was In
a surly mood, for the few people he
met Saturday thought he seemed par
ticularly Jovial. He was not known to
have a quarrelsome disposition.

Word of the tragedy was brought
to the city by Bergen. Sheriff Stev-

DESTROY STRANDED BOAT
Cablegram Says Steamer Aeon. Was
Pillaged and Dynamited.
HONOLULU, March 8. According to
a cablegram received here, the wrecked
steamer Aeon, which went ashore on
Christmas Island last August while
bound from San Francisco for Austra
lia, has disappeared.. It is supposed
that the abandoned vessel was pillaged
and destroyed with dynamite.
The Aeon was a British freight
steamer, which left San Francisco on
July 6 with a cargo for the Antipodes,
and members of the families of sev
eral officers of the Atlantic battleship
fleet, who expected to meet the fleet
in Australia. Nothing was heard of
the vessel until late in September,
when a cablegram was received from
Fanning Island that the steamer
stranded during a heavy fog. The pas
sengers and crew were taken off the
island after having been there for a
month.

BY ARTHUR A. GREENE.
Mercury stood in a shadowy corner of
the Armory last night and remarked, sotto
voce, to the shades of Old Man Weller
and Paul Revere, which permeated the
atmosphere next his shoulders, "What
d'ye know about this?" Whereupon Wel
ler "snipped" his coach-whip and an
swered testily something about it being
just like Samivel to get one of the blarsted
things, not to mention a "vldder."
Truly the old order changeth, and that
fine old clairvoyant. Mother Shipton, gave
"a full and complete reading" when she
made her Immortal prophecy. Let us
hope, however, that she slipped up on her
dire prediction about the end of all things
being near when the buzz-buggy came into
its own, or words to that effect.
You have never seen the genus automo
bile at Its best unless you were at the
opening session of the first annual show
of . the Portland Automobile Club last
night. It "laid It over" any representa
tive assemblage of motor cars ever got
together in the Northwest.
Portland May Well Boast.
The Portland club's some hundred mem
bers have full license to boast somewhat
of their debut in the matter of exhibi
tions and the town owes a vote of thanks
to Secretary William F. Lipman, who
more than any other one man con
tributed to its success; to President R.
D. Inman and the other officers, field and
line. At the most recent Madison Square
show in New York a short while ago
there were entered 168 cars of all de
signs. Over at the Armory there ae
102 aristocratic and pedigreed vehicles to
demonstrate that Portland is on the au
tomobile map in capital letters. Con
sidering that we still confess to a
disparity between the population of the
two cities, the present show is remarka
ble. Practically all the leading American
manufacturers were represented by
their latest and best products. While
the motorcar Is not as yet the carriage
of the masses, some fine cars were
shown which are within reach of peo
ple of merely comfortable means, and
there were others which only, a million
aire might covet with any hope of ulti
mate possession.
There were simple little runabouts, flve-

WASHINGTON. ' March 8. (Special.)
President Taft today confirmed the rumor
that he will devote the greater part of
next Summer to taking a trip to the
raclflc Coast, and If possible to Alaska.
The statement came in the shape of the
acceptance of an invitation from Sen
ators , Smoot and Sutherland that the
President attend the annual encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
which will be held in Salt Lake City
from August 9 to August 14. Taft told
the Senators that he would make a swing
through the West, and that he thought
he could arrange his itinerary. so as to
take in the encampment.
His plans are to visit Denver, all Pa
cific Coast states and the Alaska-Yukon
Exposition, and if time permits, to ex
tend the Journey by going to Alaska,
which ho ha never visited, but In which
he Is much interested because of his con
nection with its affairs while - he was
Secretary of War. He is particularly in
terested in the Alaska-Yukon Exposition,
as he thinks it will do the Philippines
much good by its advertisement of them
and their commercial possibilities.

CHICAGO. March 8. (Special.)
Burglars entered the home of Walter
F. S. Schneider, of 124 Edgeoomhe
Place, and stole a safe weighing 250
pounds, containing all the family plate
and Mrs. Schneider's Jewelry.
Detectives were detailed to watch
the safe after it had been found in a
deserted plot of ground, by Mr. Schnei

it. Both men fell asleep and awoke
early today to find the burglars had
returned and removed the safe in the

valuables.
"I think that comes pretty near be

am away a few hours, of a safe that
three men could hardly carry. The

one of the changes provided by the new
tariff bill, which is being printed pre
paratory to its final revision by the Re
publican members of the House ways

according to information from reliable
sources, is that hides have been plaved

contention over the ilutles on these to
articles.
Lumbermen Fight Hed uction.
During the hearings of the lumber
schedules the testimony was such as to
cause the Impression that lumber would
be put on the free list. It was said that
the forests of the country could be con
served only by admitting lumber free of
duty. It Is said Gfftord Flnchot. Chief
Forester, is preparing figures In a fur

of duty.
Representative Fordney, of Michigan,
a member of the committee, has cham

the latter have been working energetical

the. rates should he Increased. In or.ier
that the American Industry may com

The effort to obtain hides free Is being
made principally by the New Kngland
