RAID MADE BY MASKED MEN Herder Is Tied Up and Over a Hun dred of His Plock Are Iiaid Out Cold on the Ground. KLAMATH FALLS, On, April 21 (Special.) News comes from. Lorella, in the southeastern part of Klamath County, of another slaughter of sheep and outrage upon the herder committed by a band of masked men, supposed to be working la the interest of the cattle-owners. On the 13th of the month nine men, with their faces effectually concealed by masks. rode tip to the sheep camp of Ivlum & McKendree and covered the lone herder with their rifles. The man was trussed up so he could- not move," his head cov ered with a sack, and then the slaughter of the seep began. Herder Gets Loose. About 150 shots in all were fired, the herder thinks. "When he finally managed to wriggle loose from his fastenings he found over 100 animals dead on the ground and the remainder of the band scattered almost beyond recall. Most, of these frightened muttons will fall prey to the coyotes before they can be brought back to the safeguard of a shepherd. This camp of Klum & McKendree Is nearly down on the border line between Oregon and California, and in the vicln ity of Langcll's Valley. Sheep Camp Burned. After leaving the scene of the slaugh ter the marauders rode to the sheep camp of pave Elder, still further east, and destroyed everything valuable by fire. News -of the kiUIng has caused a great deal of excitement among sheepowners who have heard of it, and fear is ex pressed that this marks the beginning of another season of terror in Central Ore gon. Already further north a band of sheep was destroyed some weeks aco. but it was hoped that this was only a case of -spite, and not part of an organ ized effort to drive the sheep from the ranges. Great Loss. Last Xcarv It will -bo remembered that last year one man was killed and 6000 head of sheep, valued at $20,000. were shot down or scat tered in the mountains beyond redemption by what appears to have been an organ ized hand of sheepshooters. The counties of Crook, Lake, Grant and Klamath were last year evidently in the hands of an organization that had planned a campaign of terror and destruction. "Creed" Conn, a well-known and highly respected merchant of Silver Lake, was known to have had definite information that would have lead to the exposure and probable punishment of the participators in one of these outrages. Conn was shot down on the outskirts of Silver Lake March 4, 1904. Snow covered the body until April 21. Although the Governor has offered a large reward for the murderers of Conn, no one has had the temerity to come for ward and claim It, for such information would cost him his lire. Killing or Thoroughbreds. In the killing of a band of 1000 thoroughbreds- belonging to Morrow & Keenan, of Willow Creek, August 19, ISOi, a dozen ' men with blackened faces took part The slayers knelt on-the ground, so that shots from their S0:30s would pass through more than one sheep's body at a time and save the ammunition. One of the mem bers of the gang openly boasted after ward of the crime and wound up with the remark: "You're d d right, that sheepman will never get within miles of our range again, that's a cinch."

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-(SpeciaD-Captain J. A. Force, of the University of California football team, left today for the East, his object being to make ar rangements for a football coach to come to California and train the 'varsity eleven of 190S. Now, that the two universities have voted to abolish the graduate coach rule, the Berkeley men will make a des perate effort to pull their football for tunes out of the mire, and they intend to find the best man available to lead them through the next season. Force goes East as the representative of the executive committee pf the Associated Students, and his choice will probably be ratified by the committee when he returns in a few weeks. California has hoped to secure the serv ices of Richard Smith, of Oregon, Colum bia's former captain and fullback, and an AU-American man, but his alma mater wants his services, and ho will probablv not find it possible to accept the offer to come to Berkeley. Several prominent Easten gridiron stars are under consideration, and the selection will probably be confined to these. CONVICTS ON THE ROADS. Governor Will Try Experiment in Marlon County.

NO LIVES LOST IN CRASH Coaster Bound South From Portland Collides With Sailer Off Coqullle River, and Latter Tunis TurtleGrew Rescued. MARSHFmLD. Or.. April 22. (Special.) The Bteam schooner Sea Foam has start ed on her sea career with a wreck to her credit on the first day she poked her bows in salt water. Yesterday morning she put out of the Columbia River on her maiden voyage with a load of lumber, and last night, during a dense fog, seven miles off Coqullle Bay, she ran down the sailing schooner Del Xorte. A few minutes after wards that vessel was bottom up and a derelict on the ocean. The Sea Foam was recently launched at Gray's Harbor, and was added to the fleet of A. "VV. Beadle & Co. She was towed to Portland, where her machinery was Installed and her cargo of lumber was put on. She Is on the way to San Fran cleco with It, but about noon today she put into Coos bay with her bows smashed and the crew of the Del Norte on her decks. The stpamcr was heading down the coast under slow -speed in a dense fog that hung over the ocean. Suddenly the schooner drifting in a calm loomed up just ahead, and before the vessel's headway could be stopped, there was a crash. Tho schooner rapidly filled with water through the hole that was stove in her side, and not long afterward she turned turtle. Her captain and crew of four men managed to get into boats, and' the men were transferred to the steamer. The Del Norte Jwas bound from this port for Rogue River. She was in ballast and In command of Captain Franz. li. D. Hume was the owner of the vessel. The Sea Foam threw a line to the water logged vessel and towed her In to the buoy at the mouth or the coqullle, where she was anchored, and the crew came on to Bandon. Captain Miller, of the Sea Foam. ays a heavy fog prevented' him from see- lmr th Del Norte's lights, acd. that -ho 1 did not hear her born, while Captain Franz says he saw the lights of the steam schooner for ten minutes before she struck. ' , un arrival at Bandon, Captain Franz communicated with his owners, with the result that the tug Columbia started from this port about noon to pick up the Del Norte and tow her here. She has not yet returned. DEPENDS OX SEA BATTLE. One Instance in Which Oregon 3Iay Profit by Russian Victory. The British steamship Sandhurst left down the river at i o'clock- yesterday morning, reached Astoria at 2 P. M. and two hours later croiued outbound for Tsingtau. With her departure the busi ness of supplying North Asiatic ports with Oregon hay comes to an end. unless Ro jesivensky succeeds in putting Togo out of business. Three big cargoes of hay and oats have been forwarded from this Coast to the Shantung peninsula In the past six weeks. These cargoes were supplied by ine Albers Bros. Milling Company, of this city. The business was new and It was thought It would be permanent, but de velopments In the Far East put a new complexion on the face of things and the deal came to a close. Confirmation of the common rumors that the forage was intended for the Russians was never given, but a variety of circumstances have convinced shipping men that It was no other than Russian business. In the first place, there Is no market in German Chinese territory for such great quanti ties of hay and oats as have been sent there, and In the second place, It Is known positively that two agents of the Russian government were here and Inspected the feed before it was shipped. They declared It superior to any they could buy else where, and were entirely satisfied with the price. Whether or not the steamers that have sailed will attempt to run the Japanese blockade Is not known, but It is more than likely that they will sail for the port for which they cleared, Tsingtau. How the forage If Intended for the Rus sianswill get to the front Is also a mys tery here. , The value of the three cargoes shipped by Albers Bros. Is about $175,000. The Sandhurst's cargo amounted to 23,545 bales of hay and 23,650 sacks of oats. The Ras Elba, which preceded her. carried 9SSS bales of hay and 34,000 sacks of oats. The Ivydene, which loaded all her freight at Seattle, took out 26,082 oales of hay and 53,025 sacks of oats. The oats on the Has Elba and the Sandhurst were loaded on the Sound, the vessels afterward coming here to finish. It was the intention of the shippers to put all the cargoes aboard nt Portland, but lack of warehouse room here made It necessary to ship part of the lot from Seattle. Even if the shipments cannot be re sumed at an early day. the fact remains that Oregon hay has been Introduced in the Orient and has created a market that is bound to become important in time to come. It Is stated that the busi ness will be pushed to large proportions if Vladivostok Is opened to American com merce by the Russians. Should the Jap anese remain masters there, they will continue to purchase their forage sup-. . piles In California, as they have in the past. In this respect, at least, the inter est of Oregon farmers and hay-raisers would be promoted by a Russian victory In Oriental waters. HAMMOXD LOG RAFTS. Shipowners Object to Their Being Towed on the Ocean. SAN FRANCISCO, April 22. Several log rafts will be brought here from the Co lumbia River this Summer by the Ham mond Lumber Company. The first of them Is nearlng completion and In the early part of June It will be towed here by the steamer Francis H. Leggett. The raft will be about 700 feet long and will draw 25 feet of water. It will contain about 8,000.000 feet, board measure. Shipowners and others Interested In vessels have been unfavorable to the bringing of these rafts from the north. Aside from the loss to their business, they claim there Is great danger of the raft meeting bad weather and breaking up, thus menacing the vessels plying on the coast. It was proved last year, however, that a raft can be constructed so that I ino Qaneer OI It triKIn;r nn fa inncM.r. hbly lessened. The rafts are to be con structed by tne .Robertson Raft Company. Marine Notes. The bar dredge Chinook Is anchored at the Government moorings, opposite SL Johns, where she will await orders from" the War Department. The steamer Cascade, with a new mas ter.
