Remember the Big Store MADRAS, ORE. Excitement was raised to a high pitch Madras Saturday evening over the attempted murder of a man named J. B. Haynie, and later the suicide of his as sailant, whose name Vas Mrs. ElecbraL. Myers. Tho attempted killing took place at one of Porter it Clarkson's railroad construction camps in willow Creek can yon about 3 miles from Madras. Mrs. Myera came" to Madras at about 7 :30 oclock Friday evening by stage from Shaniko, and Saturday succeeded in get- ling into conversation with the man whom slio shot laterduring the day, but he refused to have anything to do with her, and drove his rig down to camp No, 2 in the Willow Creek canyon. About six oclock elie ordered a livery rig and told tho driver to call for Mra. J. B. Hay nie, at the Green Hotel, and was driven to thocamp. Upon arrival thero Haynie was called out, and it is claimed by his statement, that during their convcrsa- which lasted about 20 minutes, bIio re quosted him three times to marry her. Ho said: "The last time that I re fused she drew a gun and, before I could get it away from her, shot me-" Hay nie then stated that he grappled with her and succeeded in getting 'the gun Cut oi her hands before assistance came, Sovenu men ran toward tho scene at onco, and as eooij as they arrived he re quested them to get the gun and to ns sist him to tho tent, where a hasty ex amination showed that he waB seriously injured. In tho meantimo Mrs. Myer I A. E. PETERSON t SHANIKO, OREGON had been placed in tho rig in which sli cntno. It was derided to get the injured i - . ... . man io iov.il as soon as possue, anu.i: waB conveyed to tlio sanie rig. During tho trip to town Mrw. Myer succeeded in taking a heavy doee of poi son without tho other occupant? of tl hack detecting it, and her not was not discovered until she became sick, at about tho timo they were removing Haynie from the hack at the doctor pflico. Bho was immediately taken in ak'e and everything poseible was done to counteract the effect pf tho drug, whicl later proved to be cyanide of potaBaium Tho heart action waa kept up for nearly an hour by artificial means after respir ation had ceased, bu, tconepiousnesB was not regained aftpr being takeq ffom the rig. The wound which Haynie received was made by an old-fashioned Colts re volver. The bullet struck the point nf the seventh rib, and following yds lodged in the muscles of the back, not far from tho surface. Dr. Lewis, who bad charge of the patient, says that while the wound ia not serious, it will cause him considerable pain from' the necessity to get the patient to a hospital where tho bullet can be extracted and where ho can be properly cared for, Haynie's condition lias been improving since the wound waB dressed Tne dead woman, it is believed here was an affinity of Haynie when he re sided at; El Paso, Texas, where he lorm erly worked as a railroad section fore man, and where lie met Mrs. Myers From an examination of her personal eitect.8 oy tne coroner's lury it wae learned that Mrs. Mers was born and reared near Forest Grove, Oregon, but for a number of years had been a resi dent of El Paso, Texas, until about six months ago, when she was divorced from Jake Myers, t.he man whpso name she bore at the time of her death, whose residence it was learned is now at Par rell, Mexico. Telegrams have been sent to lii in, bu,t he has not as been located Attorney Harry G. Thayer of Portland counselor fqr Mrs. Myera, ia also en deavoring to, cqrunmnicate wth Myers who ia ben.uea.thed all the property ol the deceased, which is estimated to be from $5000 to $10,000. On her person was found $191.90 in money and consid erable valuable jewelry. The county authorities at Prineville were notified, but the coroner living at Sisters could not come", bo the inquest was conducted Monday by Justice of the Peace F. J. Brooks, and the jurj, con eistmg of A. C. Sanford, D. W. Barnett, Cliff Jackson, B. C.(Dove, G. W. Kidder and G. R. Moorhead, found that the deceased came to hbr death from some unknown poison. After the inquest, in the handling of the wearing apparel of Mrs. Myers, a small package was-d la covered sowed in her clothes whih was pionounced to contain cyanide of potas stum, arid it is thought that she must have had a dose in her handkerchief, with which she ended her life. Mrs. Myers was interred in the Mad ras cemetery Tuesday afteinoon, word having been previously received from rUtornoy Thayer ordering this disposal of the remains, he laying that further instructions would be forwarded later. That the deceased had carefully planned to kill Haynie and to end her own existence, is evidenced by having in her possession-a gun and the poison, and leaving explicit', directions what to do in case of ber death, the latter being written in her diary. It also stated the amount of money and jewelry upon her person. From letters and documents it was learned that she had filed a breach of promise euit in the early Fall against Haynie in tho courts of Vancouver, Wasluugton, for $10,000, but had lost the caso. Haynie was placed in a conveyance esterday morning which left for The Dallea hospital, where hia wound will receive further treatment.

FIRST-CLASS WORK GUARANTEED t HARNESS The Best In Town TENTS, WAGOU COVERS & SHEETS COLLARS and PADS, BRIDLES, Elc, B.S.LARKIN I LABORERS FLOCKING TO DESCHUTES CANYON Laboring men from all over tho north west are flocking to The Dalles to get work on tho Deschutes railroads. Spo kano is furnishing its quota and every train from that city brings in a largo number of men who find ready employ ment, for they aro immediately shipped out to the scene of action, tho number each day running from 50 to 125 men. Iioforo tho Shaniko train arrived today, tho depot platform was crowded with men who were on'their way to go to work for Porter Brothers. Part uf the gang went to Deschutes but of the 125 men, about 100 went to Shaniko and will go to camps near that place, Although at tho present time there taa been no ereut diulculty in securitm men for tho Deschutes railroad construc tion, it is thought that as soon as the reconstruction of the 0. K. & N, road between this city and tho Desclmtea begins, men will be in great demand. PREDICT TRAINS FOR MADRAS BY SEPTEMBER That the Deschutes Itailroad Compa ny will bo running trains into Madras by September 1, is the prediciion made by. H. A. Brandon, construction engineer, who is in Portland from hio headquar ters at Grass Valley. ' ' "We now have 35 miles of gradq com pleted and track laid for five miles,", said Mr. Brandon yesterday. "Work is, in progress on every one of tho tunnies along tho line. All of the work is cov ered with the exception of tho 12 miles, along the Warm Springs Lidjafl Agency, and that will be covered within a short time." Tracklaying near the mouth of the Deschutes Biver is delayed temporarily, according to Judge Twohy, head of tho contracting firm, by bridge building across Simmons Creek, which haq cut wide, deep draw into tho Deschutp.B fqm. tho east. By the time the bridge is cpmpleted, several now uncompleted, Ijnks i,n t"Q grade beyond tho Creek crossing have been finished and tracklaying on the first 20 miles will be continued rap idly thereafter. The 35, miles of grad,e corqnleted, Jsnqt continuous nqw for that length. Thq entire wo.rH jg devided, jrjtq snb-cpntracts, and practically every subcp.rjtraptorbaq heavy rqck work, aa well as light work tq complete. T"e result is that the grado is completed in sections qnd tracklaying must await the finishing of the heavier work, whch requires longer time. WANT RESERVATION OPEN TO SETTLEMENT Representatives will eoon be appealed. to to use their influence to have t hp great Warni Springs Indian reservation thrown open for settlement. The interests back of the scheme are supposed to be closely identified with either the Hill or Jlarri- man railroads, now being ppnstrqcted nto the central part of Oregon, though it is denied at headquarters of both lines that the railroads themselves are behind, the move, says tho Portland Telegrarfl. Tne Telegram's informant says that. the local commercial organizations arp to be urged to assist in the matter bar cause of the great inrush of pew pppq-: lation such a move will meap toOrpgon, Of the 600,000 acres in the Warm Springs reservation there are J115,O0Q already under survey. Tho object is tq get the bale nee surveyed and have tho whole domain thrown open to home steaders and timber claimants. Of thp surveyed lands, 100,000 are tillable and very fertile; 215,000 acres are suitable for gracing purposes while HlPFP aro 250,000 acres of the finest kind, of Ore gon timber. It is estimated that it could accommo-i date a population of 10,000 families with-. in the next two or three years, COMET'S TO ENVELOPE EARTH New York, Feb. l.Camille Flara marion, the French astronomer, in a let ter published hero today, says that tho vaporous tail of Halley's comet will eh velope the earth on May 19. 'For several lioura," ho says, we will be immersed in the gaseous caudal ap pendage whoso ohemical coitBtitution is still little known. Tho comet will pasa directly between the sun and the world at 2 o'clock in the morning of May 19, At that hour the Pacific Ocean will be in full daylight, while in France it will bo night. Little danger may be expect ed, however, for the tail probably will be bo rarified as to be inoffensive." TI-iE IDEAL BAKERY-CAFE B. L. RlPPETEAU, PROP.
