GRANTS PASS. Or.. Aug. t (Special.)
Deserted by their companions when the
tragic climax of their merry-making In
the Josephine County caves came In the
accidental shooting of Frank Ellis yes
terday, he and his wife were left alone
In the styglan blackness, he to die and
she. grief-whelmed, to ease his agony as
best she might.
All the lights but one carried by the
party were taken by the cravens who
ran away. The remaining torch soon
went out.
Death Foneht for Hours.
For hours Mrs. Ellis sat In the dark
ness, trying to stanch the flow of blood
from her husband's wound, but feeling it
pouring steadily away over her own hands
and body: calling to him to speak to
her but receiving no reply, and hearing
no sound aave his ever-lessening breath
ing. Finally Mr. Ellis died, and Mrs. Ellis,
groping on all fours until she found the
lead string which the party had brought
in. following it with great difficulty and
Anally crawled her way to the cavern's
mouth.
Today, as the result of her awful ex
periences. Mrs. Ellis Is completely pros
trated and her condition Is critical.
Mr. Ellis and Arthur Vineyard, , with
their wives, two other women and several
children were seeking passage through
the caves and had succeeded In reaching
the third chamber on the upper floor.
Ellis being in advance of the party, and
holding a pistol in his hand, attempted to
climb to an upper cavity, but owing to the
slippery walls be lost his footing and fell
several feet, striking the revolver against
the wa.lL The weapon was discharged,
the ball entering his left eye and ranging
upward through the brain, which resulted
In death after four hours.
Desert at Cry or "Murder."
At the discharge of the weapon some
one cried "murder," which precipitated a
rush for the mouth of the cave. All fled
except Mrs. EUla. who, rushing to where
her wounded husband lay, took bis limp
form upon her lap and tried to nurse him
back to consciousness.
In the terrible darkness of the cavern
Mrs. Bills sat, fanning her husband with
her hat. while the blood flowed freely
from the dying man's face over the grief
stricken woman's hands and body.
Realising that she had been deserted.
Mrs. Ellis made cry after cry for help,
but no answer came, save the echo of
the caves. Thus she sat for four hours,
nursing the dying man and hoping for
aid. In her desperate efforts to save his
life she tore up her white underskirt and
tilled the wound with bits of rags, to stop
the ebbing life blood, until llnally he died.
Crawls, Saturated With Blood.
Exhausted and nearly overcome with
. ejrlef. Mrs. Ellis began to crawl on her
hands and knees over the slippery floor
In an effort to find the guide string, which
fortunately had not been broken In the
retreat. This she secured to a rock and
. laid It on her dead husband's body, with
'. the Intent. If she failed to reach the
mouth of the cave, of returning there. ,
Then, with her clothes saturated with
Mood from the wounds of her husband.
Mrs. Ellis started out and by fortunato
circumstances finally reached a line of
light and the cave entrance, and thence
walked over the precipitous mountain to
a settlement nearly four miles away.
Woman Presents Awful Sight.
The sifrht presented by the unfortunate
woman was awful. Smeared from head
to foot with blood, her clothing torn, her
hslr hanging and disheveled, the unfor
tunate woman's appearance shocked all
beholders.
She was brought here today, a nervous
wreck, after a strain of 30 hours, Ave of
which she had spent In the dark recesses
of the cave watchlnjr the life of her hus
band ebb away. Her condition is pre
carious. Officers say a most grewsome sight was
presented where the body was found, as
the opening through which he had at
tempted to enter was bespattered with
blood and his brains. In the fall his
skull had been cracked.
The strangest feature of the case,
which cannot be fathomed at this time,
is the action of Vineyard and the women
in not returning to the cave. After their-panic-stricken
bolt from the cave, they
notified Joe Fetxner of what had oc
curred. He went to the nearest telephone
and summoned aid. but Vineyard and his
party were so excited and frightened that
they hastened to his father's ranch ati
t!e head of Williams Creek and could not
be prevailed upon to return.
M. D. Ellis, father of the victim, ar
i rived today from Dallas and will take
I charge of the body, which is expected to
KsutIvs. here some time this evening.

BT R. Q. CALLVERT.
GRASS VALLEY. Or., Aug. 2. (Staff
Correspondence.) In the face of an ad
vance of overwhelming numbers. Porter
Bros.' forces guarding .the entrance to
the Gurtx ranch today yielded their posi
tion, and permitted six wagon loads of
Harriman supplies and equipment to pass
beyond their outposts and up the road
to the Twohy Bros.' camps in the Des
chutes Canyon. This withdrawal of the
Porter Bros." forces probably avoided
what would otherwise have been a bloody
conflict.
In advance of the Harriman wagon
train, Twohv Bros, this morning sent
out from Grass Valley a heavy body of
laborers. The men took stations on the
lower side of the gate, and awaited the
arrival of the wagons, closely watched,
but unmolested, by the 75 Italians that
had slept on the upper side all night as
a Porter Bros.' guard. Shortly after the
Twohy cohorts arrived, riflemen from the
camp of the Porters took up stations be
hind convenient clumps of sage-brush,
where their guns commanded the gate
way. Big Army Assembled.
As a further preliminary to the "forc
ing of the gate," Twohy Bros, had sent
their superintendent, M. 3. Boss, on a
night rlie Ao the. firm's lower camps,
and a body of 200 men were assembled
and sent up 'after the wagon train.
Just as the Sheriff's party and Attorney
Bowerman andLittleflcId. accompanied
by W. I. Westerfield, Justice of the
Peace, reached the gateway, a courier
reported to Foreman Carleton, of Porter
Bros., the approach of the 200 men from
the canyon. The latter were not yet in
sight, but Ca,rleton unlocked the gate,
and the teams passed through without
molestation. The TS Porter laborers .ho
had remained on guard all night picked
up their blankets, shouldered their pick
handles and guns, and were Just leaving
the gate for camp when the Twohy army
appeared coming over a knoll In the dis
tance. To avoid an unnecessary conflict on the
road, the lattar were notified to return to
camp, and the Incident closed without
trouble.
Three Men Arrested.
As an outcome of yesterday's exciting
episode at the gate, when a four-mule
team and a pack-horse train were

DIRECT PRIMARY
FOUND WANTING
INDIANAPOLIS NEWS ADMITS
ITS MISTAKE. '
Too Many Candidates and None
Good Enough Too Much ,
Money Expended.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Aug. 2. (Spe
cial.) The Indianapolis News, which ad
vocated the direct primary law when the
bill was before the Legislature, conceded
editorially today that It made a mistake.
The News says in part:
"We would by no means give aid and
comfort to an enemy and yet, when we
read pleai for a direct primary system
made by our friends In the East who
favor It, we cannot but think that they
need some enlightenment. Perhaps the
experience of Indianapolis with reform Is
peculiar, or It may be that our law Is not
a good one, but certain It is that those
who advocated the direct primary in
cluding the News are much disappointed
in its operation.
"Today we have five candidates for
Mayor, not one of whom measures up to
the standard which It was supposed we
should reach under the direct primary. It
is admitted on all hands that. If the new
machinery Is retained, we shall have to
do something to limit expenditures, or
else throw them on the public, for as
things now are we have in effect two
elections, two campaigns and two large
outpourings of money.
"Good men. who, It was predicted would
come out." do not do so. The necessity
of making two campaigns, of contributing
to two campaign funds and twice sub
mitting to the importunities of 'heelers'
undoubtedly Increases the reluctance of
representative citizens to offer them
seUves. Including the candidates for
Council, there are 79 names on the pri
mary ballot, and yet out of this material
It Is impossible for a citizen to find more
than three or four candidates for whom
he will vote with pleasure."

NAVAL TRAGEDY RUMORED
Accident to Torpedo-Bont at Prov
incetown Is Reporled.
PROVINCETOWN, Mass.; Aug. 2.
Eleven torpedo-boats In the guise of an
enemy made an attack on the battleship
fleet engaged in maneuvers here tonight,
and while the result of the attack is not
known, an unconfirmed rumor has
reached this town that one of the attack
ing boats suffered a serious accident.
The attack of the mosquito flotilla was
made without general knowledge of the
fleet officers, in order to test the ordi
nary watchfulness of the lookouts. If
an accident occurred, it Is thought that
one of the bigger ships may have run
down a torpedo-boat. Officers on shore
know nothing of any accident, and wife
less queries to the ships are unanswered.
It is not known whether or not the tor
pedo flotilla scored a technical victory
in their maneuvers.

Physician at Matteawan Tells of
Evidences of Insanity He Saw -When
Thaw Admitted.
Bribe Offered Keeper.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Aug. 2. How
Harry K. Thaw conducted himself at
the Matteawan Asylum for the Criminal
Insane, a phase of his life not gone Into
in the past, was described today by
Dr. Amos Baker, first assistant physi
cian of the Institution, the only wit
ness called by District Attorney Jerome
at the continuation of the hearing by
which Thaw hopes to obtain his re
lease. Dr. Baker read from the hospital case
book, saying the hearing and eyesight
were normal.
Laughed About Trial.
At that time the record said Thaw
laughed and talked in a "silly manner"
abouc his trial and acquittal, then Just
ended, but this phase was not allowed
In the evidence.
"He appears to be amused by what he
thinks was overwork by his physicians
and lawyers at the trial," continued the
record. . "He admits 'tne evidence of
fered shows he was insane, but says the
District Attorney was not in possession
of the facts In the case. He greets one
in a very silly and pompous manner."
"Perverted practices," Thaw told Dr.
Baker, were no more evidence of in
sanity than raking- a cordial after din
ner. His attitude toward the shooting
of White apparently underwent little
change at the asylum.
Abnormal Signs In Conduct.
When .Thaw had been there a month
Dr. Baker told him he had noted cer
tain abnormal signs In his conduct and
could set no date for his1 probable re
lease. In April Thaw offered a keeper
J500 for the detection of any one tam
pering with his clothes.
The witness presented S5 newspaper
