UA. SKULL IS CRUSHED Remains of Man Found ia Lonely Nook. MURDER COMES TO LIGHT Corpse Believed to be E. Perdue, of Spokane Citizens Hint - He AVas Killed, Because He Knew of Other Crime. HILLSBORO, Or., July 18. (Special.) The remains of a man whose name was evidently E. Perdue, of Spokane, and who was murdered in cold blood in a lonely place In the mountains 28 miles north west of this city, were found by a 15-year-old boy yesterday about noon. The boy was picking blackberries a few yards away from a deserted cabin . and no ticed a bad odor. Investigating, he found the remains of a man in a hole where a tree had fallen. The body was partially covered by sticks and clab-boards and old refuse. The boy returned home and notified his father, R. E. Neighbor, who went to the scene and getting a survey of the place notified the sheriff and cor oner. Sheriff Hancock and Coroner E. C. Brown, of this city, went to the moun tains this morning and held an inquest. They found the body had been lying in seclusion for perhaps three weeks and the face was badly decomposed. Ther was no possibility of identification so far as features were concerned, as decom position was too far advanced. The man wore overalls but no coat. His skull had been crushed In by some blunt instru ment, probably the back of a pole-axe. In the dead man's pocket were found two stamped coins the size of a half-dollar, on which were printed "E. Perdue, Spokane. Wash., 1907. Another piece of aluminum contained an eagle with a cir cle around it made from the same metal. The two back teeth 0f both the upper and lower left jaws had been filled with amalgam. The body was found near the Burgholder cabin. The neighbor boy who found the body says that about three weeks ago or mors he met a man who was wading the stream barefooted and who told him that he was from Spokane. Aside from this, no one in the entire section seemed to have known him. That the man was killed for the purpose of robbery was the general opinion. It was evident that he was killed tn the cabin and that his body was carried to its resting place. Many, however, think he knew some thing of a citizen of that section who is said to have been wanted a few years ago in California, and who might have been interested in setting the dead man out of the way. ' According to the Coroner's ' record the man was between 25 and 35 years old, 5 feet 10 inches high, dark brown hair, nearly black, and weighed about 160 pounds: wore No. 9 or No. 10 shoe. One more mark of identification was a ring made from a horseshoe nail with a horse shoe crest. The jury found that he came to his death by having his skull crushed by some blunt instrument. - COAL MINES PROMISE WELL Coos Bay Properties Developed by Ii. J. Simpson. . MARSH FIELD, Or., July 12. (Spe- c1sJ.1t-Xia mast eitssi!e-:.Ti'orJ'iiow in progress on Cooe Bay in the way of development of a natural resource is the opening of the Lillian coal mine, which promises to be, when in full op eration, the largest coal-producing property on the Pacific Coast. The mine is owned entirely by L. J. Simpson, local manager of the Simpson Lumber Company, and Mayor of North Bend. It has been estimated by engi neers that the minable coal under the 800 acres of land could safely be valued at 832,000,000. Moreover, the coal Is of ae fine a quality as has been found on Coos Bay, and is located so that mar keting is easy and economical. Besides there are strong signs of oil and gas. The gas constantly bub bles up in the waterways on the land, and In such volume that it Is an easy matter to confine a quantity of It and explode it- The gas and oil features, however, are only secondary, compared to the coal. In fact, they were only die covered recently, but will in, all prob ability, be later developed. The property of the Lillian mine ex tends from the banks of Coos River back some distance. The openings to the mine are about a mile inland, and from this point Superintendent Mc Donald has constructed a railway run ning to a dumping-place, where the coal Is loaded on cows, taken down a canal, constructed for a distance of 3500 feet to the river, and thence to the city. Large crushers receive the coal as It Is taken from the mine. Their ar rangement proves Inadequate for the amount of coal which will In the future be 'taken out, so a new plan will be carried "'but. A locomotive has been purchased, and will be used to carry the coal, now transported . on horse cars. f,rom the mine to the head of the canal. Later on it is the intention to build the railroad across Coos River and on to a point on Coos Bay opposite North Bend, where the coal can be loaded on ships. There are on the property five veins of coal. Three of these are of suffi cient size to warrant mining. They are from 7 to 11 feet In thickness. A .runway has penetrated one vein sev eral hundred feet, and another vein lower down on the slope of the. moun tain is being opened in the same way. The coal lies In such a way that the veins are opened by digging into the side of a hill, doing away with the cost of sinking expensive shafts sev eral hundred feet below the surface. At no place In the country can coal be mined as near tidewater as on Coos' Bay, and of the various mines which have been opened in this locality none offer the economical production of the Lillian mine. The work of Superintendent McDon ald In developing the property has been watched with much interest, and he gives the assurance that the result of the labors will not be excelled in the Coast country. The Coos Bay people are particularly hopeful of the coal resources. The fact that five of the United States torpedo boats and destroyers recently visited this port to load coal was taken as an indication that the Government misht possibly become interested in Coos Bay as a coaling station. Consequently, all developments in the coal line are at tracting attention. SALEM CHERRY FAIR CLOSES COMIC PARADE AND CARNIVAL COXCLCDES PROGRAMME. Will Be True to John Bull. SYDNEY. N. S. W..
