' MATE: KlltlCS SLAYK15.
An Important Clue Discovered by the
Police In Seattle.
New light ha been ahed on the mur
der of William Kirk, mate on th
American ship Heament. whose body
was found In the cabin of the vessel
In Portland some time ago. An 1m
portant clue Is given by the Scattlo
Post-Intelligencer In an article of which
tlv following Is an extract:
"The publication yesterday morning
of the fact that Captain John L, War
ren, formerly master of the Ill-fated
schooner Hera, is wanted In Portland
for the alleged niurd.'r of William Kirk,
mate of the American ship Clarence
S. Heament, haa caused wide comment
anion the accused man's acquaint
ances In this city.
''At the ttnie the alleged murder was
committed the Portland police did not
know tho name of the suspected slayer
of Kirk. They knew that he was a
boatswain, who had been discharged
from the ship on which Kirk was mate;
that he had once been mate on the
Marlon Clillcott. and that he had a lit
tle linger missing from one of his
hands. The Blender Information was
telegraphed to till the prli Ipnl cities of
the ciust. Detective Meredith, of the
Seattle police force, supplied the In
formation to the Portland officers that
established the Identity of the accused
man.
The accounts of the crime published
In tho Portland newspapers describp It
as a cold-blooded murder committed
for the purpose of robbery. Kirk and
Warren, whose name was then un
known, had been together often before
the murder, and Warren, It la said, dis
appeared simultaneously with the dis
covery of Kirk's body.
'While drinking, warren naa tatgea
of having ln-en male on the Marlon
rtdicott, Thl furnished the main due
thai resulted In hi Identification. The
Information wa telegraphed Chief
Heed, who detailed Meredith on the
case, Meredith ascertained that War
ren had shipped a mate on the Clill
cott at llaltltnore, In September, IMH,
and had come round the Horn on her
to Scattlo; that aftr the boat's arrival
here, he made a trip on her to Manila
a mate and returned to Senilis last
September, when h was given the
comnvmd of 'the Here, which wa
wrecked off the coast of Vancouver Isl
and In November.
"The description and photographs
widen Meredith secured from Warren'
wife, who Is still In this city, tallied
exactly with the description and ap
pearance of the noin who had been seen
with Kirk, and all possible effort are
therefore being Hindu to locate Warren.
"Warren disappeared from Seattle on
January 8. It Is claimed that h left
here because he had forged iwo-cnerK
for small amount and cashed fiein.
He t supposed to have gone to Port-lar-d,
and taken up his residence at a
sailor' boarding house In that city. It
I Mitld that he always refused to give
III name at the boarding house.
"Warren comes of a good Southern
family. HI wife at-d yesterday that
his people live In Wahlnl n City. Hi
ts a native of VliglnU, l u a good edu
cation and has sailed to all part of the
world.
"in the arrival of the Marlon Chll
cott In this port from Haiti nr-. Cap
tain Wee,in and Warren were arrest, d
on the charge of lll-tieatlng S'ime of
the crew, but the cae wa never
pushed lo a full hearing.
".Mrs. Warren, when seen yesterday,
snld: 'I have not heard from my hus
band since he left thl city early Pi
January. He deserted me, and I have
no idea w here he 4s. He that as It mny,
however, I do not think him capable
of con milling murd'-r In C Id blood. If
he killed that man he was crazy when
he did It.'
Mr. Warren I a strikingly pretty
young woman. She I said to be of
Spanish parentag. She ha an Infant
child."

Clatsop Mill Company Again Made
Defendant, Thl Time for 115.000.
Another damage suit has teen
brought against the Clalsop Mill Com
pany by a former employe, who re
cently sustained physlcul Injutle while
on duty at the company's mill In this
city. The plaintiff In this lns'nti'.-e I
MUhnel N'-hh, and the amount asked
for by him Is I15.00 as com-nsatlon
for the Injuries received and as penalty
for alleged breach of contract.
The story of the case, as told in the
complaint, la that while Nes was at
work on a saw carriage In August last
a log struck him, crushing a number
of rih and Indicting serious Injury to
his back-bone. The mill jieople, so It
I alleged In the rompluint. made a pro
position to Ness, the terms of Ahlch
weie the payment to Ness the sum of
$."iU, providing for him all the necessa
ries of life during his Illness and con
finement and, afli r his recovery, loglve
htm i-irnmn nt employment at the mill.
In some cupoclty. throughout the re
maining year of his life. This propo
sltlon, It appears, was agreed to by
Ness and the company Immediately en
tered upon the details of its contract,
continuing to provide for Ness until
Fll lny 1 isi when, Ness alleges, they
s rved notice upon him that no further
provision would be made for him by
the company. A tiny de -lined to
longer pay the rent for the house that
hoa been occupied by Ness, he was ad
vised arbitrarily to go lo the hospital.
Ness now claims damages In the
sum of tl5,00, stating that he has been
permanently Incapaclated from further
following hi trade through the injuries
sustained, and that the action of the
company in cutting off his allowance
has ihmn him absolutely upon bis
own resource which are Inadequate to
supply the necessities of life and com
fort. The dny preceding the filing of this
suit, proceedings were instituted by
John Pentllla, another former employe
of the same company, for $20,000 dam
ages alleged to have been sustained
through the loss of his right arm while
on duty.
No answers have yet been tiled by the
compnny lr. either case.
Ft !t BREACH OF CONTRACT.
Suit Against George Taylor, of Port
land, lo Recover $ir37.50.
A suit brought by McGregor & Nor
mlle against George Taylor, of Port
land, to recover J1537.50, alleged to be
due through a breach of contract, Is
twins tried before Judge Mollrlde and
a Jury In the circuit court.
The facts In the case, as revealed In
the complaint, are that In Mar;-h, li98,
the defendant entered Into a contract
to deliver the plaintiffs about 74(H) bar
rels of Jossen cement for use in con
structing the government locks at
Yamhill at the stipulated price of 12.50
per barrel. A partial delivery of 2000
barrels was made with the explanation.
It Is alleged, that more waa enroute
from Kurope on the City of Athens. It
wns found that 6000 barels of cement
were billed to the defendant at Port
land, but that he discharged all but
191S barrels of It at Port Loa Angeles
and delivered to McGregor & Normlle
only 1540 barrels. In order to carry on
their work the pralntltrs were com
pelled to purchase 2460 barrels of ce
ment from other parties and pay t3.12Vi
per barrel, entailing a loss of $1537.50,
Thla is the amount sought to be re
covered and a verdict Is expected to be
reached today.

THE BURLINGTON.
Seattle post-Intelligencer.
On Its face It may appear to be a
small matter, but in reality the an
noucement that the Burlington road
will begin running a solid train from
St. Louis through to Seattle is full of
significance. It practically means an
other transcontinental line from the
leading metropolis of the Pacific North
west to the leading metropolis of the
Mississippi valley. It means that we
ar to be brought Into still closer rela
tions with the illddle West through
easier facilities of communications, and
emphasizes the eagerness displayed by
the great trunk systems to get In touch
with the coming gateway to the Orient
and the north.
ANOTHER BIG OCEAN LINER,
It Is rumored that another big ocean
liner is to be bu'lt, which will rival
even the famous Oceanic In size. A
usual, American enterprise Is at the
head of the project. America seem
determined to have the greatest, wheth
er It be steamship, art. Inventions or
medicine Take Hostetter' Stomach
Bitters as an example of what has been
accomplished In medicine. It has
proved Its worth by over fifty years of
cures of stomach diseases. There is
