Official Satisfied That Bartholomew In
Slayer la Trunk Murder
Oscar Lund, son of Mr. and Mrs
N. J. Lund, of First St.. this
city, arrived in Portland Sunday
night, to clear up the charge
made by Bartholomew that he
might be implicated in the Green
trunk murder, Nov. 18, 1915,
Lund traveled all the way from
I)s Angeles, and when taken to
Bartholomew was at once de
clared by the latter not to be the
alleged man who killed Lind
Oscar Lund swears that he never
before .saw Bartholomew and
Bartholomew swears that to his
knowledge he had never seen
Oscar Lund. He was allowed to
go his way at once.
No one here ever dreamed
that young Lund was implicated
in a"ny trouble. When an officer
came here two weeks ago to find
Lund, and disclosed his purpose,
he was assured that the man he
sought was in California; that
he could easily be found; and
that when found he would prove
that he had no connection with
anything of a criminal nature.
District Attorney Evans, of
Multnomah, sent the young man
a subpoena, and he came at once.
The minute Bartholomew saw
him he said: "I never saw him
before."
Lund's many friends here are
more than pleased with the out
come of the suspicion.
Lund is 2S years old, and a
few years ago was on the All
Star football team here. He
was a general favorite while
here. He comes of an excellent
family, and it was gratifying to
note how positive were Hillsboro
people that Lund could not be
connected with anything of a
criminal color.
Lund will spend the Holidays
with his family in this city.

the office in doubt. Deputy Ku

names "Charle3 Francis," as
that is the name of the new em
peror. This will have to go un
til the state department writes
and gives the information as to
what name shall be substituted
for the late Francis Joseph, who
died Nov. 21. History tells us
that the new ruler went to High
School, when a boy, and that he
was very popular. He speaks

converses in English as well as
in Austrian.

ier load of 3.4 tons per car; beets
with 4 tons more per car, cement
with nearly 3 tons more per car;
corn and oats with 6.5 more tons
per car; general merchandise of
all sorts with 1.1 more tons per
car. Among the actual car sav
ings were: Barley, 118 cars;
beets, 758 cars; cement, 112 cars;

158 cars; general merchandise,
2,535 cars; millstuff, 110 cars;

ishables, 375 cars; stone and

toes, sugar, wheat and wine.
