Washington-, March 85. A recent I the Senator, when the Tillamook mans
Washington dispatch announcing that
Senator Fulton would name the Regis

Land Office has been forwarded to
the Interior Department. "Secretary
Hitchcock never gave Senator Fulton
any such assurance," said one official
close to the Secretary today. "He
toJd Senator Fultcn that any recom

ceive consideration, but that his and
other candidates would be carefully
scrutinized before any appointment is
made.
'The Secretary said he wished to
avoid making any more bad appoint

exercise the utmost caution in tilling
these two offices."
As previously indicated, there is no
intention of removing Bridges and
Booth until the grand jury meets
next month.

Senator Fulton expresses himself as
well pleased with Oregon's share of riv
er aud harbor appropriations at the
hands of the recent Congress, says she
fared as well or better than the other
states, and did remarkably well, consid
ering the general disposition on the
part of Congress to keep dow n all ap

Senator Fulton says Binger Hermann

GOOD MATERIAL

After having selected a lenthy lift of
aspirant for the Roseburg land office tie
Oregon ian continues the pastime farther
by naming 15 or 20 candidatesor govern

are W. Kuykendall and U. B. Ankeuy

Out of this bunch it would certainly
be possible to select a good man for
governor, but is it necessary to line up
very public man of prominence in the
state for governor. Why not select two
or three of the strongest men so that el
fort at selection can be more central

would be pleased to have an hundred
candidates sparring for the honor, hav

A SENSATIONAL

A spicy family quarrel is being aired
at Eugene in which the principals are

gene Business College, his wife and the
former's sister, Mra. Stewart. Mra.
Haroun seeks a divorce from the pro
fessor on the grounds of too intimate re
lations with one of his teachers in the
Eugene business College, Miss Maude
Decker. Mrs. Stewart, the professor's
sister, seeks to recover 1300 which she
alleges the loaned to her brother through
misrepresentation. The professor says
his sister kicked up the' whole family
row and refers to her as "an adventuress
of disreputable character," and a Wages
that she has been married and divorced
four times. The pupils of the Business
College seek to vindicate their teacher
by signing a rebuke to the charges pre
ferred against Miss Decker, whom tbey
endorse as an "upright, honest and
moral young lady." Owing to the
prominence of the principals the case
has occaiioned much comment and cre
ated quite a sensation at Eugene. It is
all the result of washing dirty fasaily
linens publicly.
One of the most shocking tripple trag
edies probably ever recorded in the state
was eaacted at the home of Ev Cooper
near Hancock bridge, nine miles south
west of Drain and near Elkton last Fri
day morning, the principals in the dead
ly encounter being Hermann Shook, A.
E. Cooper and Paul Howse.
Shook, a farm hand about 2S
old, had been working for Cooper about
a year past and of late Cooper had eus
picioned that the young man was undu
ly intimate with bis wife. His suspi
cions were greatly increase! on the pre
vious Friday when upon taking some
medicine for a slight illness he was soon
thereafter taken with violent convul
sions. Dr. Wade of Drain, was tailed
and found that Cooper had taken
strychnine, the dose having been so
large that it was expelled fiom his
stomach before becoming disimilatd
into his system, thereby saving his life
Cooper sospected that someone had pur
posely tried to kill him, but said liitle
about it awaiting quietly for further de
velopments.
had to be specially guarded to prevent
her from iujuring herself or some one
else.
The exact theory of the jury as to the
killing of Cooper and Howse bv Slexilc is
not obtainable here, as the jury w as pro
cured :it Elkton. Rumors have Un
alioat since tiie affair took place that
Mrs. C -oper was suspected of complicity
in the killing, but the finding of the jury
does not seem to confirm such rumor.
The body of Shook was brought here
this evening, and will be shipped to
Oakland, in this county, for burial. The
father of the young man, J. A. Shook,
of Oiklaud, came here today to meet the
remains of his son and convey them to
his home for burial.
The sad affair generally believed to
be the outcome of infidelity of Cxiper's
wife. The remains of Cooper and Howse
wi. I lie buried tomorrow at Eikton.
bullet holes were found in his body, one
entering his back on the right side just
below the shoulder blade, ranging down
ward ; the second through the left arm
from the rear, and the third through the
left leg. From the fact that all bullet
woundB ranged downward, was estab
lished the theory that the party who
did the shooting was located on the
knoll, it being from 30 to 40 ;feet higher
than the door yard. Dr. Gil more of
Oakland made an examination of the
wounds and extracted the bullets. Ex
perts however, do not agree as to the
size of the gun used, opinions ranging
from 22-calibre to 25, and 30 30.
Peter stated that at first he was of the
opinion that Jacob had killed him
self as he had been worrying lately
over money matters and th iy.
nees of his father, but as Jacob had no
gun with him he was soon aware that
scmeone else had done the killing.

Only the Wife Can Tell it All.
Dbaim, Or., March 26. The jury
called together by Justice Dimmick, of
Elkton, yesterday afternoon to investi
gate the double murder and suicide that
occured at the Cooper & Haney sawmill,
ten miles west of here, yesterday fore
noon, did not reach a verdict until late
this afternoon. The findings seem to
agree with the first account of the tragic
affair that Herman Shook first killed
A. E. Cooper and Paul Howse and then
himself.
Cooper's wife was the only eyewitness
who lives to tell the tale, and she has
been in such a hysterical condition since
the tragic event that her testimony al-
1 most counts for nothing. In fact, she
evening. The two former were investi
gating the facts in the death of Jacob
Renter and the two latter gave evidence
before the coroner's jury, they being the
first to see Reuter after his death.
The facts as brought out by the e r
oner's jury exonerates Peter Reuter an 1
his aged father from all blame of the
death of Jacob Renter, but established
the fact that he was foully murdered.
The coroner's examination established
the following facts : Peter and his fath
er, who are bjtb invalids were lying on
the bed in their cabin Thursday after
noon and Jacob was outside attending
to duties about the place. About four
o'clock they heard several shots fired in
rapid succession followed by a groan of
agony coming from the porch on the
southwest side of the house. Peter at
once went to the door and found his
brother lying on the porch steps dead
He then ran to the river, a distauce
of about 150 yards northwest of the
house and called across to their nearest
neigh 1 or that his brother had been shot
and killed. George Mackelroy, the
neighbor, was not at home, but his wife
was in the yard. She did .not under
stand what Peter said, but Peter
thought she understood him and return
ed to the house to await the coming of
his neighbor.
It became dark and no one put in an
appearance. Peter and his father
thought that perhaps Mr. M-u-kelrov
had gone to get help, so they laid dow u
and went to sleep. When daylight came
and no one had come to their assistance,
Peter once more went for help and
found neighbors to whom he told the
story of his brother's death and sent
word in to Oakland. Mr. Shambrook
and Mr Dimmick were attending to
business matters a short distance from
there and hearing of the tragedy im
mediately went to the Reuter home and
were perhaps the first to see the dead
man with the exception of his father
and brother. They immediately made a
thorough examination of the surround
ings and upon their testimony and the
testimony of the Reuters, the coroner'B
jury established the fact that Reuter
has murdered by parties unknown, who
it is believed waited in ambush on a
small brushy knoll about 60 yards south
west of his house and shot him as he
was about to enter the house. Three

LAND OFFICE TO BE
MOVED TO PORTLAND
Washington, March 24. President
Roosevelt has signed an order directing
the removal of the land office at Oregon
City to Portland. The date of the re
moval is left to the discretion of the
commissioner of the general land office
who states that July 1 probably will be
selected for the date of the change.
The removal of the land office from
Oregon City to Portland is to be made
simply for reasons of economy, accord
ing to United States Senator Kulton,
who is in the city. It is in line with the
retrenchment policy of the present ad
ministration.
The government building in Portland
will be uaed for the land office, thereby
saving rent. Another reason for the re
moval was that nearly everyone who de
sires to go to the land office from almost
all parts of the state necessarily passed
through Portland enroute. That un
necessary trip and the expenses attach
ed to it will of course be obviated
by the removal.
