TRIBAL WAR MAY FOLLOW MURDER $180 TAKEN FROM CORSET Relatives of Martha Metcalf Say Money Is Hera, Felix's Tribesmen Hold She Merely Carried It for Him Two Claims In. NEWPORT. Or.. July 31. (Special) Trouble among- the different tribes on the Silets Indian reservation la pected to result from the double murder and suicide which occurred at fillets on Saturday morning. When Martha. Louie Metcalf. the Indian woman mur dered by Bob Felix, was picked up from a pool of blood by Dr. Clauslns, the agency physician, he found a purse containing; $180 secreted In her corset. Now the purse has disappeared with its contents and trouble Is expected. The Metcalf woman was shot by Bob Felix, with whom she had been living;. Now the members of the tribe to which Bob Felix belonged say that the woman carried Bob's money. Marthas rela tlves. members of another tribe, say the money was Martha's own and de manded it. The disappearance of the money has put a phase on the situation which Is at least disquieting. The only thins; known Is that the money was stolen from the corpse and the thief. whoever be or she may be, la keeping quiet. There was but one witness of the tragedy of Saturday. This was Mrs. John Spencer, the wife of one of the victims. At the inquest Mrs. Spencer uiu inn reux ana airs, jneiumn ui urn n. II.U Jul B. DUCI1L.1. 1 I1D I11UUII stayed about half an hour, but the Metcalf woman did not want to return tlvated by the bibulous Spencer. Wh(fl the gate was reached Spencer took the baskets out of Bob's wagon after Mrs Metcalf had said she would stay. Felix at once demanded that Spencer put the baskets back in the wagon, but the Intoxicated man paid no attention to him. whereupon Felix drew a .38 caliber revolver and shot him through the head, killing him instantly. Mrs. Metcalf at once exclaimed. "You kill man for nothing!" whereupon Felix turned his revolver upon her and fired twice, both bullets taking effect, th second piercing her heart. As Felix turned to shoot Mrs. Spencer, she says she pleaded with him. saying: "Don't shoot me. Bob. I'm your friend." At that, she says, he drove off to his camp a mile away, where he shot himself through the head. Mrs. Spencer quickly staggered to the agency in an Intoxicated condition and told of the killing. At first she was not believed, but it was not long before other Indians brought in an account of the tragedy. Coroner Carter soon arrived on the scene and held an inquest, at which the facta of the kill ing were brought to light. Knott C. Egbert, the Indian agent In charge, disclaims all responsibility for the conditions existing among the Indians previous to the murder. The drinking and the neglect of obedience to the marriage laws, he says he cannot control, as his Jurisdiction does not extend to the deeded farms upon which all the principals In the tragedy live. A condition of drunkenness and lm moralitr has been in existence for some time among the Indians, according to the better class of the redmen. who are anxious that the Government put some stop to the present state by send ing In officers with authority to act wherever the Indians live, on the agency ground or on deeded farms.

There now being only enough provisions left for the return, the party started back on July 16, with 60 pounds each, and made two days' Journey in one. Return Journey Speedy. The last 13 miles of the glacier was made In one day, in a pouring rain. Camp Rodney was reached late July 18, and the whole party started down the river In the boat July 19. The Journey to the mouth of the Chulitna. which ascend, was made In four hours. Two days were lost at Talkeetna on account of bad weather, but on July 22 the party ran down 65 miles of the Susitna to Susitna Station In 9 hours, coming Into Seward by way of Turnagain Arm and the Alaska Northern. Cool and Ridley arrived Thursday, and I and Rojec got here last night. Cool and Ridley left on the .Alameda for Seattle this morning. I and Rojec will go on the Bertha tomorrow, by way of the Inside passage, to secure more pictures. Although the expedition failed to reach the summit. It cannot be regard ed as a failure. A wonderful set of pictures was secured. The mountain wax Dhotographed from points never before visited. Cook's Story Utterly Disproved. The utter impossibility of Dr Cook's story was demonstrates Deyona a doubt. The expedition also disproved the statement attributed to Tom Lloyd that the glaciers cannot De traveiea without snowshoes. The entire length of Ruth Glacier was traversed without snowsobes. The Packer Brown expedition was seen several times. One member had a narrow escape from death In a cre vasse. When last seen. July 12. they were still making a heroic struggle, but were short of provisions. The ascent of McKinley from this side Is such a tremendous undertaking that It was impossible with the means at the command of the Mazama expedi tion. I am confident that the mountain can be climbed from this side and I shall endeavor to organise an expedi tion on a larger scale for next year.

(Spe claL) Preliminary steps to determine whether a corporation entering into contract to carry passengers for a cer tain price' for a certain length of time can break the agreement at will, with out any notification whatever, will be started tomorrow at the regular meet lng of the County Commissioners. Before May 1, 1907, the ferry rate for foot passengers crossing the Columbia River to Hayden Island on the ferry owned by the Portland Railway, Light Power Company was 5 cents. The County Commissioners. A. A. Quarn berg, Robert Lowe and J. C. Eddings, at that time reduced the entire traffic sheet, from six-horse teams down to foot passengers. Foot passengers were given a rate of 3 cents one way or 5 cents round trip, on the ferry. The traction company was notified and without protest It accepted the re duction and It went Into effect May 1907. The license waa paid for six months. The second time it was granted for six months, the third time for one year, which expired January 1. 1910. At that time the company was granted a contract for three years, at the same rates. The company paid tor the license and accepted the rate, Each time It applied for a license to operate the ferry it asked for five years, but this was never granted. The traction company advertised new traffic schedv.le to go Into effect July 26, 1910, and the rat e was en forced. The County Commissioners were not notified and no agreement was made with them lor the traction company to raise the ferry rate. The new rate was advertised, accord lng to law, and was approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and no protests were filed. That the county has a right to enter Into a contract to regulate the price charged by transportation companies Is the opinion of J. P. Stapleton, County Attorney. "The County has the right. if the law covering that is constitu tlonal," he said -today. The outcome will be watched with keen interest by thousands who travel between Vancouver and Portland. STRIKE MAY TIE UP ROAD Electric Line Refuses Demands of Electricians' Union. CHICO, Cal., July 31. (Special.) The entire system of the Northern Electric Railway will be tied up by a strike, if efforts now on foot succeed. The company has failed to grant a rise In wages to linemen employed by It and they were ordered out by the elec trical Workers' union. This prevents the completion of the double-track work under way In Sacramento. The company still has not granted the rise and the union's next step will be the ordering out of all men em ployed In the electric sub-stations, through which power is supplied to the system at various .points. This would prevent the running of streetcars in Chlco, Marysvllle and Yuba City and Interurban lines between those places and Orovllle, Sacramento and Hamil ton City. ' The company at present employs only five linemen. -Some time ago notice was given by the union that these must be paid 34 per day for eight hours, in stead of $2.50, but the demand was not met. As Chlco is the headquarters of the Northern Electric Company, the Electrical Workers' Union has sent Frank Llnder here to manage the strike. The demands of the union were granted by the Central California Trac tion Company and the Sacramento Street Railway Company. YAMHILL FAIR LIST OUT County School Exhibition Promises to Be Big Success.

Curing Catarrh Accept Our Advice and Try this Remedy at Our Risk Catarrh is a disease of the mucous membrane. The mucous membrane is, one may say, the interior lining: of the body. Catarrh therefore may exist la any part of the system. When the catarrhal poison attacks the mucous membrane. Inflammation and congestion are produced and na ture fails to throw off the accumulated poisons. The organ which has been afflicted ceases to perform its proper function as nature intended it should. The result is, complication upon com plication, which may lead to other even more serious afflictions. We honestly believe Rexall Mucu Tone will do wonders toward overcoming- catarrh. It is made from the pre scription of an eminent physician who made a long study of catarrh, and his great success with this remedy was an enviable one. We want you if you are a sufferer from catarrh in any . form, to give Rexall Mucu-Tone a thorough trial. Use it with regularity and persistency for a reasonable time, then if you are not- satisfied, come back and tell us, and without question or formality we will hand back to you every cent you paid us.
