SOUTH SLOUGH HAY IDE MORE GRIME George Kline, Known, Too, as "Santa Ana," Reported Among Missing. SUSPICIONS ARE VARIOUS Latest Tragedy May Have Had Some Connection With Mysterious Cases of Jacob Evans and William Joyner. MARSHFIELD. Or- Aug. 14. (Spe cial.) That another murder has been committed at South Slough appears to be a possibility, as still another resi dent of that locality is missing today. It was reported this afternoon by residents of the district that George Kline, commonly known as "Santa Ana," was missing from his cabin and that he had not been seen for a week. On account of the murder of Jacob Evans, the disappearance of his em ploye, the supposed murder of Wil liam Joyner and the various fights and shootings, foul play is suspected in the case of the missing Kline. He was called "Santa Ana" after the Mexican General, because of a wooden leg. For years he has lived at South Slough. That he may have known something about the Evans and Joyner cases or that his disappearance has something to do with the other mysteries Is strongly suspected. , The officers will make a thorough investigation as they are strong- In their belief that Joyner was murdered. The dragging of the bay for the body is being continued. Today this city was greatly excited overNi report that Joyner's body had been found, but the report proved to be groundless. People of this locality are much concerned regarding the train of trage dies on South Slough to which there seems to be no stop. The place Is a favorite spot for campers and picnic parties, but the mystery surrounding the recent happenings Is making the locality less pleasant and fear of meeting harm is preventing many from attempting to drag the bay for Joyner's body. RAYMOND EQUALIZERS SIT Many Complaints Made by Land and Timber Owners. RAYMOND. Wash.. Aug. 2.. (Spe cial.) Since the County Board of Equalization met Wednesday it has been besieged by property-owners ask ing reductions and changes. First to appear before the Board Wednesday waa a committee from South Bend, headed by Mayor Myers, asking for a blanket reduction In the assessed value of that city. This com mittee was able to show that values were large In comparison with Ray mond property, and a general reduction of 25 per cent was agreed to. George Holman, of Portland, made three trips to the county to get reduc tions made and he was able to show that certain property had been placed on the rolls at too high a fig ure. This estate comprises some 600 acres of land on the Peninsula and Mr. Holman objected to the assessment be ing raised from something like $13,000 to a valuation of something like 140. 000. Yesterday afternoon the timber-own. era appeared before'the Board In a body " and asked for a reduction of 25 per - cent in the valuation of their holdings. WARRENTON LINE MAY FAIL Seaside Franchise Said to Hold Key to Railway Project. WARRENTON, Or Aug. 24. (Spe cial.) With only a week ahead before the time for acceptance of the street railway franchise granted by the City Council to George A- Robinson, will elapse. It has become apparent that Mr. Robinson has no other alternative but to let the franchise go by default. This condition has been brought about through Robinson's inability to secure a' franchise at Seaside and be cause the franchises provide that he shall have cars In operation from War renton to Seaside within 15 months from date. The prospective loss of this line Is much regretted here, because the plans called for a dock to be built at deep water on the Columbia River, and the route Included streets which would en able construction of switches to the two local sawmills, and so provide the sawmills with a way to ship cargoes In addition to the rail facilities they now have.

The physician examined his patient carefully and, not being satisfied with the diagnosis, employed the X-ray. which disclosed a foreign substance In the lung cavtty. Mr. Bennett then re called that 17 years ago he was acci dentally shot with a .2 by his brother. The bullet was removed and Mr. Ben nett went home today.

The report that an insane wom an was in the neighborhood of Mur phy, a small town seven miles south of here, proved to be Mrs. John Kru sell.
