FRIENDS DISCUSS VENGEANCE Victim Reported to Be in Criti cal Condition. THREE SUSPECTS ARE HELD Each Is in Different" City Husband of Young Victim Keeps Cease less Vigil at Hospital X-Ray Finds Bullet la Lung. Evan B. Kemp, whose rambling let ter to Sheriff Hurlburt caused an im mediate investigation which undoubt edly saved, at least temporarily, tha life of 19-year-old Mrs. Mabel Myers Wednesday night, is declared by tho victim to be the man who brutally as saulted, shot and robbed her. She positively identified his picture as that of her assailant yesterday, and a few hours later 2500 circulars bear ing an accurate description and photo graph of the young man and offering $100 reward for his apprehension were in the mails. Telegraphic warning had already gone forth to all cities in the Northwest and the capture of Kemp is believed to bo a matter of hours. Mrs. Myers was sinking rapidly at ( 1:30 o'clock this morning and City Physician Ziegler said last night that he was not so hopeful of her recovery. The bullet in her lung was causing her great difficulty in breathing. The bul let could not be taken from the lunsr tissue yesterday. Mrs. Myers is under the care of Dr. Ziegler, Dr. Cliff and Dr. Paul Kockey. Story Is Substantiated. Investigations by Deputy Sheriffs Phillips, Christofferson and Beckman yesterday substantiated in every par ticular' the story of the vicious attack told by the girl the night before. When she was discovered, with -only a blan-.. ket and coat about her, in tho snow 350 feet from tho cabin where she had been left more dead than alive. The prints of the girl's bare feet were found where the snow still crusted the road, and lost hairpins and up-rooted grass at three -spots bora mute evidence to falls from exhaustion in her weary progress. In a muddy, ice-rimmed puddle, where Kemp had thrust the girl's head under water to force her into subjec tion to his will, a red skating cap. to which particles of ice clung, was dis covered by Deputy Sheriff Phillips. Cabla Shows Struggle Slsn. The room of the cabin on Cleveland avenue showed many traces of tha young woman's struggle with her assailant, and her blood-stained gar ments were found on the floor. There was a crowd of men about tho cabin when the deputies arrived on tb scene, and vengeance was discussed. Sheriff Hurlburt and his deputies at noon yesterdey not only had an ac curate description of Evan Kemp, alias Gus Anderson, but had traced bia movements from the time the girl was left to die until the letter advis ing the Sheriff the crime had been mailed at the postoffice. Kemp boarded a jitney at Gresham at 5 o'clock. Ho got off at Thirty seventh and Division streets, presum ably to get some money from an em ployer, Charles Delfel. 44i Thirty- COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWAY GREAT ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT. In locating the grade for the Columbia River Highway, two important features were kept constantly in mind that of con serving all the natural beauties along the route and of maintain ing as nearly a uniform grade as possible. Nowhere between the highest and lowest points of the highway a drop of more than 700 feet does the grade exceed 5 per cent. The construction standard of the highway is without equal in America. The paving work met the most rigid inspection and great engineering problems in the construction of aqueducts were so'.ved successfully. Tho various types of bridge construc tion also form an interesting fea ture of the highway. , Special at tention was given to the retain ing walls,' which were constructed of dry masonry. From an engineering stand point, as well as from a scenic standpoint, the Columbia River Highway excites the wonder of all who view it. All these features will be em phasized in the New Year's Edi tion of The Oregonian. l Concluded on pa-?o 4. Column )
