Mrs. Mas ' gle Hunter, only survivor of the three women who -were murderously attacked In their home here yesterday, made statements in her delirium today that caused the re-arrest of her husband, J. C. Hunter. Physicians and nurses who have hoped to catch a word leading to a clew to the person who murdered Mrs. Ultra Grlbble and her daughter, Mrs. Carrie Chandler, heard Mrs. Hunter say her husband had struck her. The po lice was Immediately notified and Hun ter was taken in charge. Despite the injured woman's delirious talk, few believe anyone is guilty of the crime except the negro man, now miss ing, who was seen to enter the' house about the time of the murders with an axe in his hand. Rewards of $1300 have been offered for the negro's cap ture. Throughout the man hunt, which lasted all night, intense excitement prevailed. So frenzied did the searchers become after learning that Mrs. Ohlander had been criminally attacked before she was mur dered, that a white man who, by acci dent, had scratched his face, came near being torn to pieces when the crowd saw the blood. Fences were torn down and doors broken In. Every obstruction in the path of the- crowd that would have afforded a probable hiding place for the fugitive was leveled. The negro wanted is said to be SS' years of asre and slender of build. Practically every negro who answers this descrip tion has been cent to Jail during the night on suspicion.- Several persons have said they saw such a negro entering and afterword leaving the Grlbble home about the time the murders are supposed to have been com mitted. All of the victims had been cut or tabbed with u knife and then their heads emptied, presumably with an ax. Mrs. Hunter, despite her frightful inju ries Is thought to have a chance for re covery. Mrs. Gribble was 72 years of age and Mrs. Ohlander 45. Mrs. Hunter Is So years old. EARNINGS BEGIN TO MELT Man With $306 in lockcts Found Helplessly Drunk.

AID TO INJURED DELAYS Kailroad and County Officials Squabble Over Kxpenses. VANCOUVER. Wash., Dec. 11. (Spe cial.) Who shall take care or the in jured and pay the hospital expenses of persons injured on railroad rights of way Is a much mooted question in Clark County.

A. L. Miller, counsel for the Northern Pacific Railway Company, said this "morn ing that the county is first, last and all the time compelled to take care of the poor and the needy; that the railway com pany Is willing to bo responsible for any one connected with the railroad, either passenger or employ, who may be in jured, but not for others who may be found Injured on the railroad track; that a person hurt by a railroad company may suo the company and collect damages. If he proves his case, but the company can not be compelled to board or- care for the man while he Is recovering from his Injuries. "Why should the county be compelled to pay the expense incurred by a tramp when injured by the railroad company, although at the time he was a tres passer?" asks County Attorney Stapleton. "If the train crews were diligent in their duty they would see to it that no tramps were allowed to remain on the train, so there would be no accident from this source."

"Who is it for?" inquired the Captain. "Dunno an ol" woman wid white hair guv' it f me t' take here," responded the child as he scurried from the place. After a moment of close observation Captain Bailey summoned an officer and handed him the package. "Take this to the matron some figs or some thing for a prisoner In the women's ward." A few moments elapsed. The officer returned, package in hand, and said: "Mrs. Simmons doesn't like the looks of this she thinks it's an infernal ma chine, or' poisoned tea and won't open It." "I'll open it," said "Andy" Sorenson, the telephone operator. He did. A gold watch, No. 12 size, was laid on the desk with the following note scrawled in pen and ink on a, money order application: "Was In 'Port' from Southern Ore. on a few days' visit.

Later on he worked as a trapper along the banks of the Willam ette River and interior streams. For the past several years he has had a hut In the grounds of the Rlverview Cemetery. His shack was recently de molished by the heavy fall of snow. He was forced to seek shelter, and after wandering about the streets for four days, appealed to the police for assistance.

"There used to be a time I knew almost every man, woman and child in this city but I'm a stranger now nobody cares for me. and now I'm sheltered in a felon's cell." Friends in Oregon City will be ap pealed to by- the police to aid the old inhabitant. DANCE ALMOST STOPPED O. A, C, Cadets Clash With Physical Director, City Helps Out. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE.
