HDQUJ LIVES
ilous Husband Turns Arm
Loose on Wife, and Then
Ends His Own Life.
WERE MARRIED 19 YEARS
Friends of Woman Says His Sus
picions AVcrc Groundless nnd
Entirely Imaginative.
Hoqulam, Wash., Oct. 0. At
dusk Saturday evening, Ed. Gardner
shot and killed his wife, then turned
the smoking pistol on himself and
died from the wound in a short
time. The shooting of his wife by
Gardiner Is said to have been caused
ly excessive Jealousy, which all
acquainted with the family declaro
unwarranted on his part.
The family has lived In Hoqulam
for two years, and in all harmony,
apparently, until flvo months ago.
About that time, Gardiner began to
be suspicious of his wifo and quar
Tels followed. These quarrels seem
ed only to serve to make Gardiner
moro certain of the truth of his
accusations and he made life so
burdensome to his wife that she
finally appealed to the police for
protection. He threatened her life
a week before the tragedy occurred.
After Mrs. Gardiner had appealed
for protection, her husband was put
under bonds to keep the peace and
later she began divorce proceedings.
Saturday night Mrs. Gardiner was
calling on Mrs. Mary Bruce, a nelgh
Tior, and as she camo out of the
door to go to her home, saw her
husband across the street. He came
to where she stood, near the gate,
and asked her whether she was go
ing to let him have somo books that
formerly belonged to his father.
She Hnally replied "Yes," and he
suggested that they should at once
go and get them. Mrs. Gardiner
started to go Into her house, when
Tier husband drew a pistol, ana
without saying a word, shot her
twice the first bullet going Into
Tier brain, the second into her heart,
she fell at his feet dead. After
looking at her prone body for an
instant, the crazed man placed tho
muzzle of tho smoking weapon at
his right temple and sent a bullet
into his own brain.
The Gardlners had been married
Aibout, 19 years and were of about
tho same age, 39.
UNION PACIFIC
DOUBLE TRACKING
WltliJn Two Years System Will Ho
So Equipped Pwni Omaha to
Ogden.
San Francisco, Oct. 8. Tho, most
Important work b,elng done on tho
Union PacIIflc railroad at tho present
time Is tho double-tracking of the
main line and it is probablo that In
thH course of two years tho road will
bo double-tracked from Omaha
through to Ogden.
This will bo the first double
tracked transcontinental line and It
will Increase tremendously the ca
pacity of the ontlro Harrlman system
and put tho Union Pacific In shape
to handle all the business which can
develop In many years.
Nearly half tho dlstanco betweon
Omaha and Greon River, Wyoming,
has already been double-tracked.
Tho distance is about 817 miles.
Another big engineering job now
being done is tho building of tho
Lane cutoff. Almost duo west of
Omaha Is an irregular section of
country marked by hills and valleys,
which tho founders of tho Union
Pacific deemed It wiso to dodgo.
Tho Union Pacific thoreforo as '
leaves Omaha dips almost due south,
and In ordor to make ten miles west
it actually makes a detour of 19
miles. This got on E. II. Harrimnn's
nerves during ono of his western
tours and ho Issued an ordor to
"cut across." Thus tho Lano cutoff
was begun.
In tho past two years tho Union
Pacific hnB earned nearly $2S,000,
000 cash ovor all dividend require
ments. This your promises fully
$18,000,000 moro. In three years
$15,000,000 of surplus cash earnings
moro than $7,500 per milo of
road.

trip and sailed on the return on time,
will be late this week. Tho Plant

co, after having been held up for fu
migation. She Is billed to reach hero

boat which carries freight may mako
an attempt to run on schedule time,
but fow of them will meet the re
quirements, as thero are delays
which cannot be avoided.
Mothers1 Club Meeting.
Tho last meeting of tho Mothers'
Club was well attended, considera
ble Interest was manifested. The
subject: "Can Wo Teach Children
tho Law of Lovo and Practice tho
Law of Revenge?" wa3 informally
discussed by all present.
If children nro punished too se
verely they doubt their parents' love,
If too often they become accustomed
to It and tho object In correction Is
lost, when parents correct children
they should bo ablo to show them
that they lovo thorn. Parents make
mistakes. Learn first to control
yourselves. Do not expect too much
of your chlldron, think first, then bo
firm so that your children will real
lzo that lovo for them Is what brings
correction and not revenge
All Interested in making tho
Mothers' Club fnr-reachlng in Its
teaching; larger, stronger nnd a
prominent organization, please at
tend tho business meeting to bo hold
nt tho Baptist church Friday, Oct.
11, at 3 o'clock.

JOHN McDUFF WAS
. BURIED YESTERDAY
John McDuff, who was operated
upon lately at the Mercy hospital for
cancer, died on Tuesday and was
burled In the I. O. O. F. cemetery In
the southwestern part of Marsh
field. Mr. McDuff suffered Intense
ly for a number of months, and the
operation which was performed upon
him was more with the intention of
relieving his sufferings than with
any hope of restoring him to health.
The deceased had no relatives on the
bay, but friends, among them the
longshoremen, saw that he was
given a decent burial and that his
bills were paid.
Finds Husincss Good.
Mr. Lund, who lately opened a har
ness and shoe repairing shop next
to the C. A. Smith Lumber Com
pany's office on Broadway, finds
that there Is more work in his lino
than ono man can do and he Is think
ing of adding a helper in order to
take care of tho business. It was
a rather surprising thing to Mr. Lund
to find a city of the size of Marsh-
field without a harness repair shop,
and the business which has come his
way since he opened, shows plainly
there was an urgent demand for such
an establishment.

OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER
COUNTRY EDITOR
GIVEN FORTUNE
Journalist Prints Pet Writings of
KiMitric Scholar and Is
Rewarded.
Los Angeles, Oct. 9. Because
Henry Schultz, proprietor of tho
Sawtell Sentinel, gratified the whims
and printed the contributions of
ancient lore, Iner Lamb, a veteran,
a student of tho pre-hlstorlc past
and a man of remarkable educa
tion, deeded to the country journal
ist his entire estate in this section
and Tulare county, said to be worth
many thousand dollars. Ho died a
few weeks ago and Inquiry into
the failure of his affairs to reach
the probato court brought out tho
fact today that he signed his prop
erty away two weeks beforo the
end.
Since 1869 Lamb, who added an
A. B. after his name, had been work
ing on his book, which is some 300
pages In extent. A note in tho pre
face states that the work was begun
from a desire to accumulate facts
for comparison and reflection and
the manuscript shows he posessed a
wonderful capnclty for looking back
ward. So far as known he had no
relatives living. Ho was 75 years
old.
A Want will do It All.
GUARD FOR THE
BOUNDARY LINE
Belllngham, Wash., Oct. S. as a
result of Investigations by D. B.
Babcock, a special agent of the
United States treasury department
sent to Vancouver when the anti
Japanese riots occurred, a force of
government officials will be installed
at the international boundary line
to keep back the scores of Japanese
who are daily crossing into the
United States. Babcock was sent to
Vancouver post haste from Wash
ington, D. C, to investigate and re
port on the Immigration situation
and the results of the riots. Quiet
ly he has been carrying out his com
mission. Next week, he w.ll return
to Washington. Ho was surprised
to find that hundreds of Japanese
had wrongfully crossed the interna
tional boundary and were continuing
to do so. The American immigra
tion office filled Its duty so far as
possible, but there was no hindrance
to foreigners in any numbers tak
ing not only an underground but an
above ground route In broad light
and walking across the boundary
In the shelter of friendly woods.
Now a big staff of guards is to be
placed at Blaine and an efficient
patrol system undertaken. Official
figures show that IG00 Japanese
have come to the United States from
Vancouver in the last three months.
Of this number at least half have
dodged tho officers at Blaine and
wrongfully entered Into this country.

Robert Herron Is building a seven
