Story of Horrible Crime.
The body was found In a hole caused
by blasting out the root of a tree years
ago. the head two feet or so below the
feet, the eyes and mouth open and the
turns behind her back, as though she had
been dead some time and simply pitched
headfirst into the hole. There were two
marks on tjie head, one over the left
temple and the other back of the left
"ar- Jl'f "J5"" WR fraf-""-Pl- The body
was badly decomposed. The weapon with
which the deefl was done was the handle
of a mattock
Hie whole country around Dixie was
excited over the crime, and Bud Barnes
was accused of the nyurder.
The wouian drove with Barnes away
from her home in daylight, May 1, the
supposition being he lured her to go
witn him on the pretext that someone
had been stealing fence posts she
owned.
The officers believe he took her to
the lone spot and there killed her by
blows on the head and that he then
hid the body. He returned via his
fatncr-in-Iaw's house and stayed there
over ntghc, showing signs of great ex
citement, it is said. The next morn
ing he returned to the Aldrich ranch
and took possession. When arrested
he -was getting- ready to sell some of
the stock. He claimed to have leased
the place from her.

FRASER RIVER.
Allege Discrimination by Provincial
Authorities Will Take Out
Naturalization Papers.
VANCOUVER, B. C, June 27. Appeal
to the Consul-General of Japan In Ottawa
has been made by Japanese residents of
Vancouver who allege discrimination
against them because of the refusal of
the provincial authorities to issue boat
pnllers' licenses on the Fraser River to
any but British subjects. The appeal
has been made through the Japanese
Consul in Vancouver, and the Consulate
Is now awaiting reply. The Japanese
affected have also laid the facts bfore
Government, but
taken no action
as yet
in the
the Federal
Ottawa has
matter.
A large number of the Japanese who
hope to work, on the Fraser River this
season as boatpullers are, however, not
resting content with having appealed,
against the Provincial regulations, as
many are preparing to take out naturali
zation papers, and the July sitting- of ths
County Court Is expected to bring to light
many applications for citizenship from
Japan.
Owing to the fact that the claims of
would-be citizens are being investigated
more thoroughly now than in the post,
the applications which come before the
County Court next month will hardly be
passed In time to enable the successful
ones to go to work at the opening of the
season, on July 1. The Provincial authori
ties are taking every precaution to pre
vent Japanese applicants for fishing and
boatpullers' licenses from "repeating", on
naturalization papers. It is accepted as
a fact that in past years naturalization
papers have been passed from Japanese
to Japanese many times over and used
In the procuring of license..
