Death in Slumber Tall, Lanky
Man Is Sow Sought.
CHICAGO. July S. That the murder
. with an ax of four members of a family
In Blue Island, a subur.., before sunup
today was not the work of a maniac
' who has committed a series of similar
crimes In four Middle Western states
' was the opinion tonight of detectives
who have sought him for months.
In the slaying of Mr. and Mrs. Mis
lich, their daughter, Mrs. William Mans
field, and her baby, the officers assert
there Is nothing by which they can con
nect the "ax man," who is accused of
more than a score of killings.
Long, l anky Man Sought.
Chicago detectives have found two
men who say they saw a tan, janay
man loiterlnsr in front of the Mislich
i o'clock this morning.
They learned from a married son of
the Mislicbs that this man had paid
attention to Mrs. Mansfield before her
msrrlm and had proposed to her.
The man has disappeared. He had not
been seen at his boarding-house since
early Sunday night No one knew way
he went away. Descriptions have been
sent to the police In the principal cit
ies In the Middle West.
The police Delleve that the
murders were committed by some
one . familiar with the Mislich
. home. Entrance was gained through
.a window facing the front
norr.h. The murderer crept Into a side
room, where Mrs. Mislich, her daughter
and her granddaughter were sleeping
in one bed. His aim was so accurate
lia-ht from a full moon entered
through two windows that the first
blow struck each victim was sufficient
to cause death. To make sure or nis
work, the murderer brought his ax
down a few more times and then care
fully pulled the bed covers over tne
bodies.
Aged Father Slain.
The man then climbed to the attic,
where Mr. Mislich. 75 years old and
head of the family, slept. He repeated
what he had done downstairs, only
there were fewer blows. The ax, which
he lifted from a woodpile In an ad
joining yard, he threw outside. Finger
prints on the handle of the weapon
and on bed clothing were photographed
by the bureau of Identification.
Twenty-nine persons have been mur
dered In the last three years in Mis
souri. Kansas, Colorado, Iowa and Illi
nois by means of blows from an ax.
The details of almost all of the mur
ders are the same, and In most of the
cases the murderer" ax has wiped out
entire families.
AH the crimes were committed at
night while the victims lay asleep in
their beds, and In each Instance the
murderers left but slight clews.

Mrs. Nellie W. Ballou died at White
Salmon, Wash., yesterday morning at
11 o'clock. Mrs. Ballou left Portland
last Friday to spend the Fourth of
' July in the Washington city, appar
ently in the beat of health.

lived in Portland for more than 14

AN FRANCISCO,
Tripped slipped
stripped.
These four words tell the sensational
story of how, in one false move on
Powell street at O'Farrell this after
noon, a woman at one and the same
time almost outdid "September Morn"
and fully convinced several dozen oth
era of the fair sex that to venture out
in one of the new, tight, petticoatless
skirts indeed is exceedingly risky.
She came across O'Farrell street with
short, mincing steps, until she reached
the car tracks. Then she tripped. With
a convulsive movement she threw out
her foot and Bllpped
She wore a black silk skirt, slit up
the front.
Her foot caught, there was a rip, and
as the cloth split in twain to the waist
line the skirt fell into a shuddering
heap at her feet.
There she stood-er, without a petti
coat. ..
Screams of "Coat, quick: bring roe a
coat," caused two public-spirited citi
zens to strip off their coats and fling
them to the modern September Morn,
She wrapped them about her and as
sumed the well-known attitude in the
painting, while another hero sped
across the street into a clothing store
and came back with a long overcoat,
with which he covered the woman from
head to heel. Then she snatched up
the skirt, tucked it under her arm and
fled.

"Buys" for Crowd.
The New Grand Theater, on Sixth

to be in if you're all alone, and Hi.
Wallace, of 103 Tenth street, can give
expert testimony on this point, for he
was shut up in it for an - hour last
night, and only by rousing the neigh
borhood with his hangings on the door
did he gain a release at all.
Mr. Wallace groped his way to the
door and pounded. Then he yelled lus
tily. Harry Mattison and Ray Foote,
at the automobile stand In front of the
theater, heard the uproar and called
the night watchman. But the night
watchman had no key. Then Foote
telephoned for Manager Langerman.
and the small crowd that had collect
ed sat down to watt developments.
Langerman was peevish when he ar
rived, for he had been called out of
bed. Wallace was also peevish, and
the crowd voted that he had the more
reason of the two to feel that way.
"What are you going to do?" asked
one of the onlookers after the man
ager had grumbled his last grumDie

'"I'm going right across the street.
said Mr. Wallace. "Won't you all come

And he headed for the place with
swinging doors at Sixth and Washing

Bill made a great discovery Sunday afternoon. He took himself and the Irresisto out to a
swell home along; the White House road on the banks of the river.' The Irresisto was placed
on the lawn under the trees. The beauties of the "lifelike" tone of the new instrument proved
a revelation, even to the neighbors, who also listened to the programme with keenest enjoy
ment. There is many a home upon whose broad veranda there ought to be an Irresisto this
very afternoon and there are hundreds of places where, under the trees on the grounds, an Irre
sisto, with all the beautiful selection which can be had for it, would add a charm and an
attraction incalculable. After all, even Oregon, beautiful as it is, is not complete without music,
as Bill himself found out when he said, "If I hid only known it, I would have told them about
it long ago."
