They also state that not exceeding three minutes after they left deceased that Mr Jarvl came to them and stated that her husband had fallen down and hurt himself. They heard no pistol dlscarged and did not know that Jarvl had been shot until they reached the place, found him ly ing on the veranda, and heard the statement of his son Mat, who had flrcd the fatal shot. The latter came out and remarked that he "had te shoot the oid devil." But the most remarkable evidence was that of Tobias Rahkonen, a Rus sian who lives down stalre In the Jar v house. He stated that he did not hear anything at all in the way of words or kicking the door or a pistol shot; that he" did not know anything about the matter until he awoke ot his own accord and got out of bed for som purpose, He went to the door and attempted to open It but fuond Gabriel Jarvl tying against the door and could not open It. Be abandoned the Idea of going out of the room and returned to his bed and went to sleep again and knew nothing about the crime until next morning. The fact Is that Jarvl waa lying on the varanda outside of the house In front of the hall door, the hall door opens Inside, and, and Jarvl'a body could not have Interfered with its being opened. The further fact exists that the door na,knen' rm pni ,nto th to have Interfered with opening the door, would have necessarily been In Rahkimen'i room, which was' not a fuel. The further faet - exists that Rahkonen's wife wu up and watch ing the officer when they brought th body of Jarvl down atalra, and It Is remarkable that she did not"Sken her husband and tell Mm what was going on This evidence Is before the coroner's Jury and they may be able to solve It but the coroner finds It too deep for him. There'ls plenty of evidence out side of this, howerer, for the Jury t arrive at the real facts In the case, but the motive of Bahkonen In giving such evidence Is what puzzles the cor- Am.i and ttmiu iillfilnthl with the to the Jarvl premises tomorrow and view the scene of the murder. There has been considerable specu latlon since the evidence was given In before the coroner's Jury. The state- mcnt ot tb' two companions of deceas- ed that he was not drunk, the wife's reticence about permitting her hus band to be brought Into the house, her statement that he "had fallen down and hurt himself, the son's statement that he had to shoot the "old devil," the queer actions of To bias Rabkoncn, all lead some to be lieve that there was possibly a con spiracy to klU the 0)4 man. The cool ness of the wife and son Indicates that they are either the most Inhuman persons on earth or the most lgnor est. It may be a characteristic of that nationality, but it Is certainly a pecu liar one. i The tact that Gabriel Jarvl was de- . compelled to seek shelter elsewhere. i Und the further fact that he waa a i very small and feeble man, apparent 1y no match physically for the son who islew him, and the further fact that ) slew him, and the further fact that there were two men and a 18-year-old Iwiv In the hnuim thut nlvht. why tuuiu tiive rumiy .uvnueu mill, it'-ii i only leads many to state that the ( i murder was wholly uncalled for, but .........

The Repub lican primary election today resulted In the success of the Independent tick et With few outlying precincts ' in Multnomah county to hear from, the Independents elected about $5 out of a total of 1S2 delegate to the county convention.

The vote did not -reach anything like the full registration. s j Democrats remained away from the polls and took no Interest In the fight to any etxent The Simon faleion was confident of victory to the last moment The friends of Senator Simon were greatly encouraged over the victory of Gover nor Geer in Marlon yesterday and re garded It as a good omen that .point ed to the victory of the Simon fac tion.

County officers seeking renomlnatton fought for the straight out Republican ticket, and now that it' was defeated the election of a new .set of officers out and out is predicted. They had to fall with the losers. But the Simon faction claims to have made no prom ises before hand It was, It was prob ably different with the victors. ROAD TO NEW ELDORADO.
