Have Been John Dorando, Pros-
pectoir Portland Relatives of
Mr. Oammersly - Notified.
Fears that John Hammersly, of Grants
Pass, missing Government hunter, had
been killed -by wolves in Jackson Coun
ty were set at rest yesterday when
he reached Wimer, Jackson County,
after having been for days away from
his cabin on Willow Flat, near the
Green Mountains, and after having cov
ered miles of territory in pursuit of
predatory animals.
It was reported here at a late hour
last nisht that the Gold Hill victim
of wolves was John Dorando, a proa-
Dector.
News that Mr. Haramersiy was saro
was telephoned to his brother, T. E.
Hammersly, Portland detective, from
Gold Hill, yesterday afternoon.
The belief that Hammersly had Been
killed by wolves resulted from the dis
covery of human bones on Evans Creek
near the missing hunter's cabin by two
timbermen last Friday. -Nearby were
the bodies of three wolves which appar
ently had been shot by the man In the
death struggle.
John Hammersly, for whom search
ing parties had been hunting several
days, reached Wimer yesterday, and it
was not until then that he discovered
the anxiety that his long absence had
caused. When he learned of the re
port that he had been killed by wolves
he Immediately telephoned to his
brother-in-law. Dr. W. P. Chlsholm, of
Gold Hill, announcing his safety. He
told his brother-in-law that ne wouia
reach Grants Pass, where his wife Is,
some time last night.
GOLD HILIj, Or., Jan. 30. John Ham
mersly, missing Government hunter, re
ported slain by timber wolves on Evans
Creek, telephoned from a mountain
ranch today that he was alive and well.
His wife and a party of friends are en
route to the- scere of the reported
tragedy, and he will join them in an
effort to identify the remains of the
man reported slain by wolves.

cial.) John Hammersly, Government
hunter who was reported lost in the Cas
cade foothills and the victim of a pack
of timber wolves, was met on the trail
today by the party dispatched from
Wimer to learn of his fate. Ham
mersly was coming out from his Willow
Flat camp, where he had been hunting
since January 2. He also declared that
so far as he knew no one else was
the victim of the animals. He branded
the story as a hoax.
Mr. Hammersly was met at Rogue
River by his wife, who left Grants Pass
today to aid in the search for her
husband, and proceeded on to Gold Hill,
where they will remain until tomorrow,
when Mr. Hammersly will return to

STAMPFER WILL FOUND
UTtHEXCE WALSCH NAMED AS
EXECUTOR OP ESTATE,
Distant Relative Appointed Adminis
trator Probably Will Re Re
moved by Court.
within a few hours of the death of
Joseph Stampfer, pioneer Kast Side
butcher, who died at St. Vincent's Hos
pital Monday morning, J. T. Stampfer,
who is said to claim distant relation
ship, petitioned for appointment as
administrator of the estate in the
County Court and was named by
County Judge Tazwell.
The appointment order, by a clerical
error, was dated January 27, two days
before the death of Mr. stampfer.
But it seems that Mr. btampfer, who
was supposed to have no relatives In
the United States, had left a will In
the keeping of Lawrence 'W'alsch, of
Gresham, and this will was filed for
probate yesterday by Attorneys Woern-
dle & Haas. The will, which disposes
of property valued at about $5000, asks
that Mr. vvalsch be named executor.
At a hearing before Jude Tazwell
Friday, it Is expected that the appoint
ment of the administrator will be de
clared void.
A court order which has been ob
served in the past has been to allow
three days to elapse after the filing of
a petition for appointment as admin
istrator or for probate of will before
a hearing is given.
Mr. Stampfer, who conducted a meat
market on .ast Morrison street, near
Grand avenue, for more than 25 years,
was a native of Austria and leaves two
brothers in that country, Alois Stamp'
fer and Christian Stampfer.

to find It." declared Deputy District At

udge what the position of the District

LENIENCY CHECK IS AIM

MISSION OF FIXES.
K. RE.
Ordinance to Bo Proposed Alao to Re
quire City Court Installment Fine
to Be Paid la 60 Day.
Remission of fines imposed in the
Municipal Court will have to be sanc
tioned by the City Council and install
ment fines imposed will have to be paid
within 60 days, if an ordinance to be
submitted to the City Council today is
passed. The measure has been prepared
by City Attorney LaRoche as a result
of a recent report of City Auditor Bar

N
The proposed ordinance provides that
when an Installment fine Is lrrrposedt it
must be paid in full withlr. 60 days. If
It is not pall within that time a bench
warrant will be issued for the arrest
of the person fined. In case a fine la
to be remitted a written statement ex
plaining the reasons must be filed with,
the Council by the Municipal Judgo and
the Council will decide whether the re
mission shall be made.
Complaint against the Installment
fine system as it has operated in the
past lias been that persons fined have
failed to pay their installments. An
audit of the court books showed fines
aggregating thousands of dollars that
had not been palds. In some cases on
or two Installments had been paid and
the rest had not been paid and no ap
parent effort had been made to force
was complained also that to clear s
the records all Installment fines were 1
remitted a year ago. which was unfair
to many persons who had paid their
fines.
