Of MOTHEK LOSKS BY ACTION OF SON Edward AuHtin RefuncH to Settle When Suit la llrouKht CRIMINAL CHARGE AGAINST AUSTIN Aged Wemaa Sees Money Fr Heme Go Glimmering. A few months sgo Mary J. Austin, of Cornelius, sold her home and with tbe proceed came lo H ill boro to reside. After setting all little claims sgiir.st her she had in th neighborhood of 3.(XX) lilt to support ber In comparative comfort during the rent of her day. Kd- ward Austin, a son, and well known as a quiet sort of fellow, was given tbe money, and, accord ing to tbe mother 'a statement, in structed to put the money in tbe Shute bank. A short lime sgo she bought tbe flso. W. Schulmericb property, on Weat Vaseline, and the eon drew enough money to pay for the home. The balance of the money, however, be drew out of the bank, and when asked to turn it over, refused, claiming it as bis own. Mr Austin then consulted At torney Oeo. R. Bagley, who brought suit in the circuit court to deter mine tbe ownership, snd who pro cured a restraining order to prevsnt the son from spending the funds. Austin denied liability lo Bagley, and soon aftrr the suit waa filed absented himself from tbe town, going to Holhrook, on the N. P. be low Portland, going by team. From that point he went to Puget Sound, thence into British Colum bia, and be is now lotto tbeofUoer of the law. A criminal charge wa then filed and Constable Sapping ton tracked Austin to British Col ombia, but soon lost th man he was after and returned home with out him. The money in conten tion amounts In about 12,000, and the mother i left praotlcally with out means. Her relativea, ho ever, are influential people, and will see that she suffers for nothing.

The Argus is in receipt of some fine photographic; views of the Oregon building at St. Louis, sent on by Superintendent W. H. Wan ning. That is right W. H.; don't forget the Btay-at homes. j Master ot the Stale Grange B. (. Leedy, of Tigard ville, was kind enough to send the Hillsboro news DSDers some fine samples of oeaohes raised on his fruit farm. They were the finest of the fine Bert Oakman, aged 28 years, and a former resilient of Monmouth, 111 , where be baa a wife and child, tabbed Frank Bennett, Saturday night, about 8 o'clock, in the rear of the South worth saloon. Tbe two worked last Fall at Sonlh Bend, and later came to Hillsboro, I where the dead man' parents, Mr. and Mr. C. C. Bennett, reside, living in the old McFadden house, on Baseline. Th two were almoal inseparable companions until a few weeks ago. They had been pay ing attention to the Misses Alia and Vesta Lad ford, and often went to the house together, but after leaving, they would have trouble, and frequent quarrels. This, it transpires, was the result of Ben nett's objections to Oakman posing aa a single man, when be had a wife and child back in Illinois. Several weeka ago Oakman told Bennett that he intended to marry Mis Alia Led ford, and Bennett promptly told them that Oakman wa married, and showed Ibem the picture of Oakman' child. Oak man wa soon thereafter told, al their first subsequent meeting, by Miss Ledford, that hut calls must cease, and when told why, said, "J here will be bloodshed oyer thi " Later Oakman went to the mother of the dead man and. told her that he would kill Frank: The feud grew in intensity, and Satur day evening, Oakman commenced to look for Bennett. He found him in the Southworlh saloon and the two went out the door to settle the trouble. A blow was struck. and Oakman plunged a knife into Bennett, almost severing the large artery at the left base of the neck. Within twenty minutes Bennett was gasping hie last, Dr. Tamieeie, who was called, slating tbat noth ing in the world could sate him. and that only bis wonderful phys ique had given hun even the short respite. The body was taken to the Donelson undertaking pariora After the fatal thrust Oakman, in company with a man by the name of Craig, rushed through the tlley that leads past The Argus office, where they were seen by L A. Long and L L Long, bis broth er. They parsed up the street to wards Dr. Ltnklater's, north, and went on to tbe next block, where they were seen by Attorney H. T. Bagley and wife, when Oakman exclaimed to Craig, "you must go back." Craig returned and Mr. Bagley, thinking something was wrong, drove his horse after Oak man, who went up the street, past the cannery, and disappeared over the fence into the Heidel field, fronting on Main. From there all trace of Oakman was lost. At the time Mr. Bagley did not-Jtnow tbat a crime had beerrcommitted. Craig, the man with Oakman at the time of the murder, was picked up in the Wiley saloon two hour later, and at first denied that he made off with Oakman, but when confronted, admitted that he went as far a tbe first corner, when he returned. -Thi little discrepancy caused him to be locked up and held, either aa witness or accessory after the fact. . All that is known of Oakman is that he was a veteran of the Phil ippines, and that he has at same time lived, at Monmouth . III. While here he roomed at the Landes' home, and had worked off and on for H. D. Schmeltzer. He ta about 5 feet !, sandy, nearly au burn hair, wears it rakisbly, and sets his derby on the back of his head. He has light blue eyes, and , i . i- . a Bear on one cneex mat is very perceptible. He is slightly bow legged. ' He seemed rather quiet, but was vicious when angry. Bennett would have been 24 years old this Fall, and was born in Mankato, Minnesota. xwo brothers are here, besides the fath er and mother, the latter being al most on her death bed, and who was not apprised of the death of her son. ; Notwithstanding every effort of Sheriff Connoll, who started thingB as soon as he was apprised of the murdtr. Oakman slipped out of towu on a bicycle, and made his waV to the Tet'er Nelsoq barn, five mile northeast of town, and the next morniua presented himself at the Borwick home a mile north of Reedville, where he had a young man help him to fix up his bicycle.
